was gambling. Huo Mingzheng knew her whereabouts and knew that Shen Wei and the others were going to harm her.It all stemmed from that night when Huo Mingzheng took advantage of her sleep and went to...Fu Yan waited for almost half an hour before receiving Huo Mingzheng's reply: {“Don’t meddle in things that don’t concern you.”}

One sentence sent chills down her spine.

Huo Mingzheng looked at the caller ID on the screen, his eyes flickering.

"You know Shen Wei..." she hadn't finished her sentence before Huo Mingzheng interrupted her.

"Do I have to repeat myself"

Fu Yan didn't know if it was anger or some other deeper emotion that was making her eyes red. "Is that what you really want To get engaged to her"

No matter what Shen Wei does, he cannot shake his resolve.

Even pictures she took deep in the tiger's den, risking discovery, he didn't say a word and just deleted them.

The man's voice was flat: "It's none of your business."

"Fu Yan's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand, taking a silent deep breath to suppress the trembling in her body. "So you actually know everything, including what she did to me, don't you"

After a long silence, there was a flurry of activity.

Ho Mingzheng hung up the phone.

Fu Yan suddenly frowned, trying to suppress the pain in her heart.

She looked at the darkened screen and chuckled wryly to herself, then walked to the window and flung it open, letting the cold wind rush in and clear her head.

It turned out that the two years she spent by his side were no match for the short time with Shen Wei.

She reached up and touched her face, it was wet and cold.

Xia Xia knocked on the door and came in, "Sister Yan, can I use this material"

She quickly wiped her face and plunged into work.

......

The flight will depart in the evening, heading to Russia for the World Championship.

After work, Fu Yan hurried to the airport and finally caught her flight.

Ji Lin immediately saw that something was wrong with her. He grabbed her arm and led her to the corner of the team, "I'm here to compete, not to fight a war. There's no need for this to be deadly."

Fu Yan's nose felt a little sour, and she said dismissively, "With your skill level, you don't even have to try hard to win gold"

"You're trying to provoke me, aren't you" Ji Lin gritted his teeth.

"No," Fu Yan patted his shoulder, helping him adjust the strap of his crossbody bag, and reminded him, "Be careful of your health, don't get cold-injured. It's cold there, wear more clothes. Don't be so cool that you neglect your health. You're already handsome enough."

Faced with her words, spoken like she was giving him a final instruction, Ji Lin felt uneasy and found it strange. "What's wrong" he asked.

Fu Yan's snorted, her face full of impatience, she punched him in the chest, "How fussy are you I said it's fine."

"Really nothing"

"It's okay."

Ji Lin still didn't believe him, "Make Huo Mingzheng swear it."

"..." Fu Yan gave him a withering look.

Ji Lin immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay, let's not mention him. Really, it's nothing"

Fu Yan raised her hand to hit him again, but Ji Lin dodged. "Alright alright, just pretend you don't want to let me go, okay Don't miss me too much, remember to watch the live broadcast when I compete."

Fu Yan nodded, "Where is Ji Qingjie to see you off And your uncle and aunt"

"I told them not to come, especially my mom. I'm afraid if you perform as Lin Daiyu right here, my teammates will laugh at me."

Fu Yan blushed, as her mother, Ji Mu, was prone to tears. When sending Ji Lin onto the plane, she might really cry on the spot. Thinking of Ji Lin's possible sullen face, she couldn't help but smile.

Ji Lin looked at her smiling face, and his heart finally felt a little more at ease.t shoulder stained crimson with blood, but the garment itself was not torn. It wasn't her blood. Her back was marked with dark red bloodstains, and those weren't hers either.Ji Lin let out a breath of...
