The president surveyed her expression and was impressed by her serenity even after being blatantly absent from her work for so long. As expected from a secretary once associated with the black horse in the market, the self-awareness was strong. His fair and slender fingers rested upon the cover of the contract, “The client has provided a new dataset for the upcoming project and this—has to be redone.”
“Yes sir.” It was not hard to do some extra work from scratch, compared to the trouble she had been to before. It was lucky that Zhaoyang had Jinyan as her boss. She sighed in relief as she exited the president’s room with the document, still worrying for Huo Chen.
Well, it’s Huo Chen. He’s going after a woman. It shouldn’t be that tough for him.

Speaking of the man, the military commander was talking to his target. Yes, they exited the building, got onto their rides and went fast and furious for the next few hours before this.
“Hello, sir! My dear lord, is there a point to this? You’ve been chasing me for the past 12 hours or so. Aren’t you tired?” Wen He said as she leaned against the red sports car, flipping her hair. Huo Chen was sauntering towards her.
Geez, I would never be caught if my gas tank went empty. And it just so happened that there’s no station anywhere nearby. How else would I get caught by this man? Wait…
Her eyes rolled over to the forest behind her. She did pick this spot to halt her ride for a reason. Even if her car had run out of gas, she still could sprint away and get lost in the woods.
“I mean, I was just a passerby for Pete’s sake and you decided to chase me till the end of time,” she placed her palm over her face, “Golden City isn’t a playpark exclusive to you men okay? Is it illegal for women like me to head in for some fun? What’s the logic of this?” Her hand tapped the roof of her car rhythmically.
“Just follow me back and you’ll know why.” Huo Chen’s expression was frigid as he walked towards her slowly.
“No. What makes you think you can ‘arrest’ me without any evidence? I can’t believe a handsome boy like you could be so unreasonable! Wait, don’t tell me—you’re into me—that’s why all—all this?” Wen He reached her hand for something behind her.
“And try moving a finger again!” Said Huo Chen as he pointed his gun right at her face.
“I demand to see your identification, sir. I have my rights being an ordinary citizen. You can’t point your muzzle to me without any reason!” She was actually going for her cigarette and lighter. She nonchalantly lit it up, took a deep breath and sent a column of her disdain to Huo Chen.
That little smokescreen was nothing to Huo Chen who had been smoking a lot lately.
“I see. It seems like you’re an old pipe too,” she said before taking another breath, winked. “I’m just an ordinary girl who wants to have some fun. You’re barking at the wrong tree, sir! Now you’ve ruined my night. How would you compensate me? You look gorgeous, boy. I don’t mind submitting to a uniform alpha like you. Would love to taste those muscles beneath your shirt.”
Huo Chen frowned, “Give me your hand.” He was indifferent, even when Wen He cloaked him in her smokescreen again. Huo Chen placed down his gun and took out a pair of handcuffs.
NOW!
She swept his hand away and impaled Huo Chen’s chest with her cigarette, before making a swift turn and ran into the forest.
BANG!
Huo Chen picked his gun and shot right at her. He was not distracted at all.
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Her arm was shot as the bullet passed through cruelly. Blood tainted the sleeve of her blouse.
Godd*mmit this hurts!
I can’t just die here!
“How uncute of you! I’ll remember this!” Screamed Wen He as she continued escaping clumsily.
Huo Chen, like a huntsman to a wounded prey, tailed after her calmly. The trail of blood would lead him to her, no doubt. But the unexpected thing was, the trail went missing after a few meters he walked.
He stood still as he observed his surroundings. He only hurt the bustling of leaves by the wind. No trace, no clues.
Bleeding and she still manages to run this fast.
This woman isn’t as simple as she seemed to be after all.
Huo Chen thought as he looked at the last bit of blood on the ground.
