dhood. He had never seen him get so angry.From the iron gate of the basement, Huo Mingzheng gave a cold glance at the six guards from the Ji family, headed by Zhong Qing. He said in a low voice, "This...Cao Fang went upstairs very quickly. He had just seen the police downstairs and guessed that it might be a resident inside reporting the crime, but he never expected that the person who reported it was Fu Yan.

He didn't dare to look at Huo Mingzheng's face, he walked in front of the two police officers and handed them a business card, "Two officers, it was a misunderstanding, this is Mr. Huo, the chairman of Huo Corporation."

Two policemen were stunned, guessing the other party's identity was extraordinary, but they never expected it to be Huo Mingzheng.

Huo Mingzheng rarely appears in the news, so it's normal that people wouldn't recognize him.

For a moment, they were both tense. "Mr. Huo..."

Huo Mingzheng narrowed his eyes, motioning them not to say more. "It was a misunderstanding, and we have troubled you officers for coming. Cao Fang, please see the two officers off properly."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

Cao Fang immediately took his men and left.

Fu Yan lay on the living room sofa, hearing the sound of the washing machine finishing its cycle. She got up and walked towards the balcony, but instead of immediately opening the washing machine door, she glanced down at the street below.

The car is still there, and the police cars are gone.

It's almost one in the morning.

She didn't know how long Huo Mingzheng would be gone for. He chased after her, was it really just because of that tie

He never liked it, never wore it, and it's been collecting dust in a drawer.

Still drunk, he had no idea what he was doing.

A tie.

She didn't think Huo Mingzheng would come to her personally for a tie.

Fu Yan pursed her lips, just as she was about to turn around and hang the clothes, she suddenly heard a rustling sound. She instinctively looked back, and a black shadow jumped down from the other side of the balcony.

landed steadily before her.

Fu Yan froze in place, a wave of alcohol mixed with a faint scent of water lilies hitting him.

The man before her had a cold face, as if it were steeped in the chill of approaching winter.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the woman before him with a pale and lifeless face. The softness in her eyes, scattered by the wind, and the tension gathered once again.

He grasped the handrail, his reddened hand reaching up to stroke her long hair. In a hoarse whisper, he asked her, "Scared"

Fu Yan's outstretched hand suddenly clenched and then dropped back to her side.

She glanced back in the direction from which Huo Mingzheng had come.

There's only an air conditioner unit there, and beyond that is the high-altitude twelfth floor.

Her heart pounded. “How could you...”

I knocked on my neighbor's door and told them that I had an argument with my girlfriend, and they wouldn't let me in. I asked to borrow their balcony for a bit.

It wasn't until the police arrived that he realized this thought.

Fu Yan knew that the height of the Twelfth Floor wouldn't be a problem for Huo Mingzheng, but he forgot whether he had been drinking.

Once my finger slips...

She took a deep breath, her scalp tingling, "Are you trying to die!"

Huo Mingzheng looked into her eyes, "I don't do things without being sure. I said I would find you to get back what's mine, and I will definitely get it back."

Includes the tie, and also her.

"I've said this many times, I don't have your things here." Fu Yan turned around, her eyes red-rimmed.

Ho Mingzheng looked at her stubborn back, his voice slow and deliberate, "Give me back your tie."n't say it clearly enough, it's that I don't understand your intentions."Fu Hanlin raised his eyes to glance at the book cover. These books were all left here during the years he spent there. He would...
