Chapter 3810 Thank You for Stepping Aside 10

“I’m laughing at you… You think you’re smart, but you’re not nearly as smart as Huo Mian.”

“I never compare myself to Huo Mian.” Zeng Rou felt sour.

It seemed the spotlight always followed Huo Mian. Everyone liked her, even her enemies, like Jack, who hated her guts appreciated her. Why? Just because she was Huo Mian?

“My time is precious and I don’t want to waste it on you. The first question… What’s your purpose of staying in the South Side?”

“To recover from my wound,” Zeng Rou replied immediately.

“Water…”

At Jack’s order, his subordinate splashed a bucket of icy water onto Zeng Rou.

It felt bone cold…

She had been weak from the bumpy trip and now she was soaked in icy water. It was too much for her.

“Huo Siqian, you’re a psycho…” Zeng Rou cursed in fury.

“You’d better tell me the truth… I ask you again, what’s your purpose of staying at South Side?”

“I went there to get my wound treated… Didn’t you know I hurt my leg? Huo Mian’s my friend and I thought she’d take care of me while I lived at South Side.”

Zeng Rou didn’t dare to tell them about the force behind her. If she did, many people would die with her. So, she stuck with her original story.

“For treatment? Huo Mian believed your bullshit but I don’t… You don’t want to tell me the truth?”

Jack grabbed Zeng Rou’s chin with a hard grip and asked her.

“I told… the truth,” because of the chill, Zeng Rou answered Jack with chattering teeth.

“Very good… More water.”

Jack stood up impatiently.

As another bucket of icy water splashed on her, Zeng Rou felt she was submerged in freezing water.

Then she blanked out…

“Mr. Jack, she passed out.”

“Take her down. When she wakes up, we’ll continue.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Besides, spread the word that Zeng Rou was kidnapped by a young and beautiful woman.”

“Yes, Sir.”

At South Side Recuperation Center.

As Director Wu was driven back to his home, Huo Mian returned to the hospital.

“Sister Mian, you’re back. Are you okay?” worried, Chen Jie hurried up and asked in a low voice.

Huo Mian nodded.

“President Qin is waiting for you in your office.”

“My husband is here?”

Surprised, Huo Mian quickened her steps and pushed open the door to her office.

Qin Chu was sitting in the chair behind her desk, looking worried. He was relieved when he saw her walk in.

“Honey.”

“Mr. Qin, what are you doing here?”

Qin Chu hadn’t come here for a long time.

“Your bodyguards called me and said someone took you away.”

“Oh, I’m fine. It’s broad daylight and Director Wu was in the car. What could happen?” Huo Mian chuckled and brushed it off airily.

Even though Qin Chu knew the more airily she acted, the more serious the issue was, he didn’t pursue the topic.

“Honey, I haven’t eaten yet. Would you… go out and grab a bite with me?”

“Excellent! I want to eat stewed pork.”

Hearing they were going out for a meal, Huo Mian smiled and held Qin Chu’s arm.

“Look at you… Where’s your dignity as the vice director?”

Qin Chu pinched her chubby chin lovingly.

“I’ll soon be promoted to be the director, okay? Don’t put the word ‘Vice’ before my title… Humph.”

Under the envious eyes of her colleagues, Huo Mian walked out of the hospital hand in hand with Qin Chu.

In a Chinese restaurant near the hospital, Qin Chu ordered several dishes including meats and vegetables.

“Honey… the people who took me are…”

Huo Mian knew the thing couldn’t remain a secret, so seeing they were alone, she wanted to tell Qin Chu.

“Honey, have some water first.” Qin Chu interrupted her and poured her a glass of water.

Huo Mian was startled. Obviously, Mr. Qin was trying to stop her from talking about the issue. Did it mean… that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation?
