"Manager Wang?" Fang Yanhuan's smile froze the moment she saw the person standing at her apartment door after exiting the elevator. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Yanhuan must be wondering how I found this place," Wang Jiahui said, straightening his clothes and walking towards Fang Yanhuan with a gentlemanly air. "I saw online that you've been suffering from depression, and as your former boss, I naturally have an obligation to check in on my employee, don't I?"
"What do you mean, Manager Wang?" Fang Yanhuan struggled to maintain her smile. "Former boss? You've been so good to me, how could I possibly leave the company? And how did you find me, Brother Wang?"
"I naturally went to the place you were recuperating, and when you weren't there, I asked around and found out," httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I see. I just suddenly wanted to live alone, and my mother was heartbroken for me, so she rented this place for me."
"Rented? Not bought? For example, by selling my information, or perhaps through a breach of contract."
"How could that be? Brother Wang, you are my benefactor. How could I ever betray you or the company?"
"Oh, really?" Wang Jiahui smiled. "Then how did I discover upon returning from my business trip that your agent had become Qian Ya?"
Fang Yanhuan's smile completely faltered. "Brother Wang, I didn't mean to, I just…"
"You just meant that water flows downhill and people seek higher ground, right?"
"Brother Wang, have you eaten? How about we go down and have a meal? You've been so good to me, I haven't had a chance to treat you to a meal."
"Eat? What a bother, I don't feel like eating today." Wang Jiahui looked at Fang Yanhuan's forced smile and found it increasingly repulsive. How had he ever found this face attractive enough to promote her?
She looked like a village bumpkin, completely lacking in elegance.
"Brother Wang."
"Less nonsense, open the door, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Brother Wang, we…"
Wang Jiahui looked at Fang Yanhuan, who was staring at him in a panic, and spat, "Damn it, you have the nerve to ask me to eat? Do I lack a meal from you? Yes, I remember now. Isn't this predicament I'm in because of you? If it weren't for you, would I be this pathetic?"
Fang Yanhuan swallowed and instinctively retreated towards the elevator. "I, I'm telling you, calm down. This is a high-end residential area, there are surveillance cameras. If you do anything bad, you'll be punished."
"Oh?" Wang Jiahui twisted his head, a chilling smile spreading across his lips. "Punishment? Retribution? It doesn't matter. I've had enough anyway. A little more won't make much difference."
Seeing that brute force wouldn't work, Fang Yanhuan could only look at Wang Jiahui with tears welling up, her hand secretly pressing the elevator buttons behind her. "Brother Wang, let's talk properly, shall we? I am deeply grateful to you from the bottom of my heart."
"Oh? Grateful to me?" Wang Jiahui laughed wildly. "Grateful for what? Grateful that I helped you deal with Fang Miaomiao? Or grateful that I listened to you and sent Fang Miaomiao to a man's bed in exchange for resources for you?"
"No, I didn't mean that." Fang Yanhuan watched Wang Jiahui get closer and closer, and could no longer hold back. She turned and frantically pressed the elevator buttons. "Hurry, hurry, hurry up!"
"Trying to run?" Wang Jiahui grabbed Fang Yanhuan's flowing hair and yanked her towards the corridor.
Fang Yanhuan fell to the ground, looking at the man inches away as if he were a demon. "You, you can't treat me like this."
"Oh, really?" Wang Jiahui's predatory gaze swept over Fang Yanhuan from head to toe, finally settling on her long, slender, fair legs, and he chuckled. "Fang Yanhuan, what are you pretending to be pure for? What part of you haven't I touched?"
"Shut up, you forced me!" Fang Yanhuan trembled, thinking of something. She pushed herself up with her hands, trying to crawl away from this hell. "The matter with Fang Miaomiao has nothing to do with me. You can't force me."
Wang Jiahui grabbed Fang Yanhuan's leg with one hand and pulled her towards him.
Due to inertia, Fang Yanhuan fell to the ground again.
By the time she realized what was happening, Wang Jiahui had pinned her down.
Looking at his face, Fang Yanhuan let out a sharp scream and instinctively grabbed his outstretched hand, shoving it into her mouth and biting down.
"Ouch!" Wang Jiahui had never seen her act so mad. "You crazy woman, let go of me, do you hear me?"
Fang Yanhuan remained unmoved.
Wang Jiahui's face turned red with pain. He lost control and raised his other hand, striking Fang Yanhuan fiercely across the face.
"Crazy woman, how dare you hit me? I'll beat you to death."
"Ah!" Fang Yanhuan cried out, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her hair disheveled. "You dare to hit me."
"I hit you, so what? Do I need to pick a date to hit you?" Wang Jiahui slapped her again. "You want to leave me? Do you think you have the capability? Don't forget, on whose shoulders did you climb to get to where you are now? Do you really think I haven't kept any evidence?"
Fang Yanhuan stared at Wang Jiahui in shock. "Who sent you? Is it Fang Miaomiao? I'm telling you, I don't know anything. Don't try to get anything out of me."
She was certain that there was no evidence for what she had done.
As long as it concerned Fang Miaomiao, there could be no leverage.
As long as she didn't say anything, no one would know.
Therefore, she had to remain calm, she must remain calm.
Just as they were glaring at each other, a "ding" sound came from the elevator.
Both of them instinctively turned their heads.
Wen Wenlan stood inside the elevator, looking with surprise at the two struggling figures.
Normally, Wen Wenlan would have rushed out of the elevator upon seeing such a scene and shielded Fang Yanhuan.
But now, he stood in the elevator, his eyes flashing with confusion, disappointment, and other complex emotions.
Fang Yanhuan, oblivious to this, saw Wen Wenlan as a lifesaver. Disregarding her appearance, she cried tearfully, "Wenlan, help me! This person is trying to kill me."
Wen Wenlan seemed to snap back to reality. He stepped out of the elevator and gestured for his bodyguards to separate them.
"Wenlan."
After being rescued, Fang Yanhuan threw herself into Wen Wenlan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "I, I thought I would never see you again. Wenlan, I was so scared."
Wen Wenlan's expression was complicated. He raised his hands halfway, then let them fall. "What happened here?"
Fang Yanhuan still didn't notice Wen Wenlan's strangeness. Her voice trembled as she accused, "Actually, I didn't tell you before, but this Wang Jiahui has been pestering me."
"I thought I would escape this nightmare after leaving his agency, but I didn't expect him to find me. If you hadn't arrived just now, I don't know what I would have gone through."
