The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Shi Zhong's eyes. He immediately took Dean Li's arm, and the two headed to the ballroom together.

The lights were flashing and the music was loud in the dance hall.

Under Shi Zhong's persuasion, Dean Li drank quite a bit of alcohol, and his mind became increasingly muddled.

What happened after that was vague to him; he only knew that he followed Shi Zhong and had no independent consciousness at all.

The next morning, Dean Li woke up in the hotel's large bed.

A headache struck, and he rubbed his forehead as he opened his eyes.

Turning my head, I saw a naked woman lying beside me, her hair dyed.

Dean Li's mind went blank, his blood rushed to his head, and he sat up abruptly, his hands and feet ice-cold.

He knew in his heart that Shi Zhong had him completely under his control.

From now on, he will be bound to Kang Hua's ship.

There was no turning back, no matter how Shi Zhong manipulated them.

.........

In the lab at dusk, Fu Hua finished recording the last set of data, took off her goggles, and rubbed her aching temples.

I packed my things and got ready to go home after get off work.

Despite being busy all day, she showed no signs of fatigue and looked radiant.

His eyes were cool and aloof, his tone calm; he was always composed in the face of adversity.

It seemed that there was nothing in this world that she cared about.

She had just reached her desk, picked up her handbag, and was about to leave.

The landline suddenly rang shrilly.

The ringing was particularly jarring in the quiet office.

That ringtone is so creepy!

Fu Hua frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the receiver.

"Hello."

Zhou Yun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

His usually cheerful voice was now choked with sobs, and he couldn't hide his crying.

Her voice trembled: "Fu Hua...come to the military hospital quickly and thank him...he's injured and is being treated in the hospital right now, please come quickly!"

With a "buzz," Fu Hua's mind went completely blank.

All sounds in my ears disappeared.

Only Zhou Yun's sobs echoed in the receiver.

She gripped the receiver tightly, her knuckles turning white instantly, the force almost crushing the plastic receiver.

My heart, which had been beating steadily, suddenly started pounding wildly.

The next second it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.

Her heart leaped into her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.

An unprecedented fear swept over me without warning.

It was a panic that went deep into one's bones.

This was a feeling she had never experienced in her two lifetimes.

She has a cool and composed personality, and can handle any situation calmly, no matter how big it is.

But at this moment, all composure crumbled.

The words "thank you for your trouble" stuck in her throat.

My hands and feet were ice-cold, and a chill ran up my spine to the top of my head.

He was trembling uncontrollably, and his lips were turning white.

She had never been so afraid, afraid of losing her acceptance speech.

Having lived two lifetimes, she had witnessed far too much wickedness in people's hearts and experienced far too much deceit and treachery.

They had already made themselves invulnerable.

But Xie Ci was the person she cared about most deeply in her heart.

Not only because the two had once shared the closest bond,

More importantly, because Xie Ci is the only person in the world who understands her, tolerates her, and unconditionally loves her.

She devoted herself entirely to scientific research, busy competing with Kang Hua and developing new products.

Xie Ci always stood behind her, never asking why, never considering personal gain or loss.

We will always support her and protect her.

He said the mission would take at most a month, but he ended up being gone for almost half a year.

During this period, due to the special nature of the mission, the two rarely spoke on the phone.

She occasionally thought about him, but always held onto a sliver of peace of mind, believing that he would definitely return safely.

Only at this moment did she suddenly wake up.

Xie Ci is not an ordinary office worker; he is a soldier.

They face the risk of injury and sacrifice at any time.

How could she have been so careless before?

This fear of impending loss is like an invisible hand, gripping the heart tightly, causing suffocating pain.

After the call ended, she remained standing there, still holding the receiver, lost in thought.

My mind is a complete mess, filled with images of thank you.

His smile, his gentleness, his favoritism towards her—scenes flashed before my eyes.

The more I think about it, the more panicked and afraid I become.

The blood in my body seemed to have frozen.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and Su Rong walked in.

Smiling, she said, "Fu Hua, are you done with your work? My mom made eggplant fritters and wants us to come back and eat them together?"

She snapped out of her daze, put down the phone,

She suddenly realized that she had been too flustered and forgot to ask Zhou Yun.

What exactly does an acknowledgment of guilt say? How serious is it? Is there any danger to life?

The moment this thought crossed her mind, her anxiety intensified.

No longer caring about anything else, she grabbed the handbag on the table, turned around and walked out, her steps unsteady.

He answered Su Rong just before leaving, "I have something urgent to attend to. You go back and eat."

Su Rong noticed something was wrong with her and reached out to grab her arm.

Concerned, she asked, "Huahua, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Hua shook her head vigorously, her lips trembling.

Speaking quickly: "I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go first, don't worry about me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she jogged out of the office, her long hair billowing in the wind.

His usual leisurely pace became flustered and hurried, like a gust of wind.

She had just rushed to the door when she suddenly stopped.

As if suddenly remembering something, it turned back like the wind.

He started frantically rummaging through the desk.

He frantically rummaged through the documents, notebooks, and pens on the table, making a complete mess.

His eyes were filled with anxiety, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Su Rong was confused by her series of actions.

He quickly followed, asking with a puzzled look, "What are you looking for? Don't panic, I'll help you look!"

Fu Hua didn't even look up, her hands constantly rummaging through the table.

Her voice trembled with obvious sobs: "The keys... my car keys..."

She had never been so out of control before.

Her things were actually arranged very neatly.

At that moment, in my panic, I lost all sense of order and started searching haphazardly, which only made things worse.

Fu Hua's mind went completely blank at that moment, and she couldn't even maintain the most basic composure.

Su Rong was taken aback, and pointed to the bag slung over her arm.

A gentle reminder: "Your keys are always hanging on your bag, aren't they?!"

Fu Hua suddenly looked down at her handbag.

Sure enough, I saw the car keys hanging on the hook on the side of the bag.

She hurriedly unfastened her keys, grabbed her bag, turned around and rushed out again, without taking the bag with her.

Zhou Ming had just finished his work and walked out of the laboratory.

Just then, I saw Fu Hua's retreating figure as she rushed out in a panic.

She blinked, thinking she had mistaken someone for someone else.

He quickly walked to Su Rong's side: "What's wrong with Fu Hua? I've never seen her like this before, so flustered."

Something seems very wrong. Has something serious happened at the hospital?

Su Rong shook her head, her tone puzzled: "I don't know either. Her voice was trembling, and her eyes were terribly panicked. I've never seen her so out of control."

What happened that made her so anxious?

"How could she drive like that? It was too dangerous!"

Zhou Ming grew increasingly worried and uneasy, so he grabbed Su Rong and chased after her towards the door.

"No, we have to go check it out!"

The two chased after him out the door, only to smell the lingering odor of gasoline in the air.

Fu Hua's car had long since disappeared.
