Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. Gu Sisi quickly clutched her belly and stood up.
Damn it. She had eaten too much this morning because she was so happy.
She waved her hand. The two men looked around warily before tiptoeing over.
"What?" they asked cautiously, afraid of being noticed.
Gu Sisi said with a pained look on her face, "I'm going to the toilet. You don't need to follow me."
"But..."
"But what?!" Gu Sisi was losing her patience. She grabbed a few sheets of paper and pointed at one of them randomly. "You. Just wait outside the toilet."
"..."
Did she think they would follow her inside?
Without thinking about anything else, Gu Sisi used her childhood sprinting skills and dashed straight to the toilet to relieve herself.
After she was done, she let out a sigh of relief.
She was about to leave. Her hand was on the doorknob, but before she could push it open...
"Click-click-click." The sound of high heels on the floor echoed, followed by a voice.
"This whole thing is so complicated. Why don't we just do it directly?"
"Hey, I can't control that."
Gu Sisi hesitated. It wouldn't be good to go out now, would it? What if they thought she was eavesdropping? That would be so embarrassing. Just as she was hesitating, the voices outside started again.
"So, we're doing it today. It's crowded and noisy. Don't mistake the target."
The woman laughed and turned on the faucet. The sound of running water filled the air. When Gu Sisi heard the words "crowded and noisy", she suddenly became interested in their conversation.
The sound of the water was quite loud. Gu Sisi pressed her ear against the door and managed to hear more.
"That guy is quite handsome. If he hadn't offended our boss, I'd really like to make a move on him."
"Don't even think about it. If the boss finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
"I'm just joking!" the woman outside complained coquettishly. "And I heard that guy has a woman, right?"
"Watch your place."
"Yes." The woman hung up the phone. Suddenly, there was a "bang". Something seemed to have fallen to the ground.
"Humph. What a thing. Just a dog."
There were some rustling sounds outside, and the sound of the high heels gradually faded away.
Gu Sisi opened the door. Her eyes were blank. She clutched her anxious heart, feeling that what they said just now might be related to Huo Cheng.
Even though the connection was rather tenuous.
"Make a move, handsome, has a woman."
Combined with what Huo Cheng had said about it being crowded and noisy, it echoed in her mind. No, she had to go and check.
She rushed outside. Seeing the bodyguard standing not far away looking at her, she waved, and the man came over.
"Do you know where the cocktail party Mr. Huo went to is?"
"Huh?" The man didn't understand what Gu Sisi meant.
"I want to go there."
...
In the past few days, Huo Cheng had received many invitations, but he had declined them all. Today, almost all the big shots were gathered, and all kinds of invitations came at once. It was hard for Huo Cheng to decline, so he came.
"Boss Huo, you've finally decided to grace us with your presence," a man holding a glass of wine sighed.
"I was too busy before."
"Understandable. You're a big boss after all!"
...
Huo Cheng was used to dealing with people like this. He was starting to feel tired. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. He had originally planned to leave early, but it seemed like these people were all here for him.
"Mr. Huo, I have a great project here. Do you want to take a look?"
Since the overseas cooperation in Singapore made a name for itself, the Huo Corporation had become more and more famous, even attracting the attention of many foreign companies.
"Not for now," Huo Cheng replied as usual.
He had said this countless times. Huo Cheng was about to go to the lounge to take a break.
But before he could take a step, suddenly an object fell. Huo Cheng instinctively caught it. A woman was lying in his arms.
"Thank you, sir," the woman said as she struggled to stand up from his arms. Her face was a little flushed.
She whispered an apology, "Sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now."
"It's okay," Huo Cheng didn't take it to heart.
"I really owe you one just now. Otherwise, I would have made a fool of myself," the woman stuck out her tongue, looking like a child who was afraid of being scolded after doing something wrong.
"Just be more careful next time," Huo Cheng turned to leave.
"Sir," the girl called out crisply.
"What?" Huo Cheng looked at her, not knowing what was going on. He saw that she had her head down.
"May I know your name? Can we exchange contact information?" Her voice was so soft that it was like the stem of a flower in the wind, about to be broken at any moment.
Huo Cheng's expression remained unchanged. He said expressionlessly, "No, thanks. I'm married."
"R-Really?" The woman's face turned red, then purple, then green.
Huo Cheng ignored her and continued walking.
He didn't notice the strange smile on the woman's face after he turned around.
A gun was aimed at the man in the crowd through the people.
People were coming and going. The target was also moving. A command came through the earpiece, "Make your move."
The trigger was slowly pulled. Just as the smile on the gunman's face was about to bloom, the silenced gun didn't attract much attention.
"Whoosh." The smile on the gunman's face froze.
The one who fell to the ground was actually a woman. Seeing the target holding the woman and looking straight at him through the crowd, the gunman panicked and disappeared into the crowd.
"The operation failed," someone in the crowd said and was about to leave.
Huo Cheng was holding Gu Sisi, who seemed to have come out of nowhere. His hands were covered in her blood. His eyes instantly turned red. He looked in the direction of the bullet and gave an order like a messenger from hell.
"Find the person for me."
"Yes," a group of people suddenly appeared.
Everyone was trembling with fear, afraid that they would lose their lives accidentally. Huo Cheng carried Gu Sisi and walked up to a woman.
"It's you, isn't it?"
"No. How could it be me?" The woman's face turned deathly pale. She looked like she was about to collapse at any moment.
Huo Cheng sneered. The woman shivered. Had she misjudged this man before?
"Take her away! Interrogate her severely."
"Yes." Several men came over and grabbed her.
Only then did the woman react and shout in a hurry, "No, you can't treat me like this. You have no evidence, you can't..."
But no one could hear her shouts anymore.
At this moment, everyone could feel the demonic aura surrounding him.
Huo Cheng carried Gu Sisi and rushed to the hospital quickly.
"I'm okay," Gu Sisi said weakly. Seeing Huo Cheng's red eyes, she was afraid that he would do something rash because of his worry.
"Don't talk," Huo Cheng's face darkened even more. Seeing Gu Sisi's face getting paler and paler, he stepped on the accelerator to the floor.
Gu Sisi smiled helplessly and hissed in pain. It really hurt!
Why did she act so stupidly and block the bullet directly just now? It would have been better if she had just pushed him away!
But slowly, her consciousness was fading. Gradually, she lost consciousness and fainted in the car.
