The next morning, when Xia Sheng woke up, she felt as if she had been run over by a truck. The pillow beside her was already empty, but Huo Ye’s scent still lingered in the air. She turned over lazily, scratched her head, and climbed up from the bed stubbornly. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and froze.

“Why are you torturing me so early in the morning?!” She rubbed her head and slowly washed up.

She had just changed when her phone rang. It was Mingzhu.

“Boss, there’s news about the person you want me to investigate.”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng’s eyes lit up and she immediately perked up. “Send it to me later.” Perhaps it was because she was too agitated, it pulled at her stomach instead. The dense pain crawled up again.

She couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This small commotion naturally couldn’t be hidden from Mingzhu.

“Boss, are you feeling unwell? Should I get you a family doctor?”

“No need. It’s just that I ate something cold last night and my stomach hurt a little.” Xia Sheng knew of her own illness and rejected Mingzhu’s good intentions.

Mingzhu had a deep understanding of gastric pain, so she hurriedly urged, “Then hurry and take some medicine. Don’t delay your illness.”

“Yes, I need to eat medicine.” Xia Sheng said coldly. She held the phone in one hand and the medicine box in the other.

Due to her chronic gastric pain, she always had gastric medication on the go. But she rarely had this problem in recent days. However, when she finally took the medicine, Huo Ye appeared at the door silently and witnessed everything.

His eyes were murderous as he examined Xia Sheng. “What are you eating?”

Xia Sheng did not want Huo Ye to worry, so she hung up and said perfunctorily, “Nothing. Is breakfast ready?” After all, she had already taken the medicine. She did not want Huo Ye to worry, so she decided not to tell him.

Huo Ye’s eyes turned cold. She was taking medicine behind his back! He couldn’t describe how he felt, but his mood was at rock bottom. Huo Ye suppressed his anger and said, “Come out and eat.”

Xia Sheng instinctively felt that Huo Ye was angry again. The other party had almost written the word ‘upset’ on his face, and she was confused.

“I’m starving. What did you make for breakfast?” She smiled and changed the topic, taking the initiative to help Huo Ye push the wheelchair.

However, the other party kept a straight face and finished his breakfast without a word.

Helplessly, Xia Sheng sighed. She wanted to coax him a little more when she suddenly received a call from Mingzhu.

“I have something urgent to attend to at the office. I have to go now. See you tonight.” She could not be bothered to coax him. She kissed Huo Ye’s face quickly, grabbed her car keys and left in a hurry.

In the car, Xia Sheng’s expression was dark as she stared at a computer in front of her, watching the live broadcast.

She found the person who tried to push Huo Ye down the stairs. At this moment, her subordinates were playing with him like a cat chasing a mouse. They were neither ruthless nor did they allow him to escape.

The camera shook a little, but it did not stop Xia Sheng from watching the man fleeing in panic until the man lost his footing and rolled down the long stairs, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

As she looked at Lin Zhi’s pitiful appearance, a trace of viciousness appeared in her eyes. She said coldly, “You can stop now.”

The camera turned to the man again, but he was kneeling in front of everyone, crying with snot and tears. “Please let me live!”

“Behave yourself. If we find out that you have ulterior motives again, it won’t be as simple as falling down the stairs.” One of his men conveyed Xia Sheng’s words and warned Lin Zhi.

However, in reality, Lin Zhi’s leg was injured. He had already been taught a lesson by someone. His limp leg was the evidence. However, Xia Sheng did not mind. She typed a few words on her phone and ordered her men to retreat.

Xia Sheng went to such great lengths just to teach the person who wanted to hurt Huo Ye a lesson. Mingzhu could not help but shake her head.

“Boss, what are you trying so hard for?”

They sent people to chase and scare him just to help Huo Ye vent his anger? Mingzhu did not believe that Xia Sheng would be so relaxed.

Xia Sheng looked up and glanced at Mingzhu, a meaningful smile appearing on her face. “You don’t understand.”

Mingzhu pouted and grumbled softly, “Why are you being so secretive? I’m not a roundworm in your stomach, how can I guess correctly?”

“You’re talking bad about me behind my back again. Don’t you want your year-end bonus?” Xia Sheng raised her head abruptly, her sharp eyes locking onto Mingzhu.

That murderous look made Mingzhu flinch and she quickly corrected herself. “No, I’ll send you back to the office now.”

——

After being threatened by Xia Sheng, Lin Zhi dragged his crippled leg and went to the Huo Corporation. He had only done one guilty thing in total, and before he succeeded, he had lost one leg.

Upon seeing Huo Ye, Lin Zhi rushed over excitedly, his legs giving way as he fell to the ground. “Young Master Huo, please be magnanimous and spare me!”

Lin Zhi’s face was almost swollen like a pig’s head. Huo Ye was stunned for a while before he could recognize the other party from this familiar voice.

“I was foolish and ignorant in the past. It was my fault for being greedy and trying to harm you. Please be merciful and let my family and I live!” Lin Zhi was filled with regret. He almost knelt down and kowtowed to Huo Ye.

Huo Ye was puzzled, but he immediately understood that this was definitely Xia Sheng’s doing.

Lin Zhi’s face was as white as a sheet of paper. His body trembled as he begged desperately, “Boss Huo, please!”

“Get lost.”

He couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time talking to this person. He casually informed the security officer to get him out.

The office fell silent again, but Huo Ye couldn’t concentrate as he looked at the documents in his hands.

The assistant looked at the time and reminded Huo Ye softly, “Boss, the meeting has started. Let me send you there.”

“Let’s go.” Huo Ye threw away his work and went to the meeting room.

After all, he had just taken office and had a lot of work to hand over. This meeting was to hand over some financial work.

The woman casually flipped her hair, and the strong smell of perfume assaulted his nose. “President Huo, this is the financial data for the past six months. Please take a look.”

Huo Ye could not help but frown. Sensing that this woman was a little too close, his expression turned cold. “Just leave the thing here.”

The woman didn’t retreat, but instead advanced. Her soft hand slowly climbed onto Huo Ye’s shoulder, lightly pinching him. “President Huo, you’ve just come into contact with the company. There are some things I should report to you personally.”

The others in the meeting room pretended to ignore this scene and discussed their work with the people around them.

Seeing that no one was stopping her, the woman pushed her luck even further.. Her slender hand was about to touch the document when it was grabbed by someone…
