The woman who had just sparred with Ling Chen snapped out of her trance from witnessing Nanrong Wanqing’s beauty and hurriedly stretched out her arms to block Liang Zhaohui from approaching. Following that, she fished out an identification card from her pocket and raised it in front of the crowd.

“Police! Identify yourselves.”

Ling Chen swallowed his saliva in astonishment. He would never have expected the woman to be a cop. Eyeing the identification card that she held above her, he etched the name into his heart—Xia Mutong, a name that tended towards the oriental side.

“We are the security team from Hongyu Multinational, and this lady here is our Chairwoman, Nanrong Wanqing. Miss Su is our Chairwoman’s sister, and we’re here to bring her back. Moreover, we already reported the case to the police. You can go check if you don’t believe my words.”

“She’s that Nanrong Wanqing.”

Xia Mutong cursed inwardly. No wonder she had such uncommon appearance and refined temperament. So, she’s the untouchable flower that dwells at the summit of our city. Her attitude instantly grew more respectful.

Coming back to her senses, she immediately made a call back to headquarters. After receiving confirmation on their identities, only then was she willing to step aside.

However, looking at the Su Lin that was being carried away, her eyes were somewhat sad and melancholy with regret.

After leaving the bar, Nanrong Wanqing stopped Ling Chen from entering the car.

“Chairwoman, do you have any other instructions for me.”

“Come over here.”

Ling Chen could not guess the intention of the other party and obediently walked towards her as per her command.

Just as he reached her side, Nanrong Wanqing suddenly raised her hand and threw a fierce slap at Ling Chen’s face.

Noticing that the situation was going downhill for him, Ling Chen immediately took a step back and reached out to grab Nanrong Wanqing’s white and delicate wrist.

Initially he had raised his eyebrows and his rage had started to mount, but the moment his hand grasped her soft wrist, he felt as though a spell entranced him. The blazing fury inside him suddenly fizzed out, as though it never existed in the first place and he felt as though he had been electrified. For a moment, he was stunned speechless.

Feeling the strange gaze that Ling Chen directed towards her, Nanrong Wanqing blushed and flusteredly retracted her hand.

“Umm…this is… Chairwoman, what are you trying to do?” Ling Chen asked slightly awkwardly.

“Hmph. You should know very well what I’m trying to do”

“Chairwoman, if you have anything you want to say to me, just tell me directly. I can’t figure out your intentions.”

“Ling Chen, I didn’t misjudge you, but my grandfather did. People like you cannot be trusted at all. Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”

With that, Nanrong Wanqing decisively pushed her wheelchair away, with a bodyguard helping her into the Rolls Royce.

“Chairwoman…”

“Enough.”

Zhong Wei cut him off and coldly said, “You can go home first. There’s no need for you to follow us anymore. Tomorrow, you can come to the company and hand in your resignation letter.”

“Captain Zhong, what exactly did I do wrong?”

Ling Chen simply could not understand why Nanrong Wanqing held such a huge grudge against him. He already brought Su Lin back, so reason dictates that she should not be treating him this way.

“Are you taking me for a fool? Go look at your reflection in the mirror and ask yourself that.”

As he watched the entourage speed away, Ling Chen returned to his car alone. He then examined himself in the rear-view mirror. Very quickly, he noticed the lipstick mark on his neck.

At that instant, realisation dawned upon him.

Previously, when Su Lin had resisted against him, her clothes became dishevelled in the process, and she even left a lipstick mark on his neck. If anyone else were in Nanrong Wanqing’s position, their imagination would run wild as well. Nanrong Wanqing must have come to the conclusion that he had taken advantage of Su Lin while she was drunk.

As he finally understood why Nanrong Wanqing treated him that way, Ling Chen could only smile bitterly.

Fuck, I’m being accused! He was uncertain when the lipstick mark had been left on his neck as well.

Forget it. The damage has already been done. That witch Su Lin is antagonistic towards me and will definitely not stand up on my behalf. He was not a tactless person. Since the other party detested him so much, why should he degrade himself and insist on staying on in the company? However, he found it a pity that he had to give up on the generous salary as initially, he wanted to use this money to pay for Tang Shiyun’s college fees.
