Chapter 284

p on her wrist tightening, his voice cold. "You're late."After being played around by Fu Yan, his emotions reached their peak, and then he calmed down.She pulled her hand away forcefully. "Second brot...The man on the phone was speaking softly and tenderly to someone, though it was unclear who. There was faint background music playing, something chilling and eerie.

After a while, the voice gradually subsided, and the man spoke: "Not yet, I'm still with my wife watching a movie."

Huo Mingzheng's hand paused as he lit a cigarette, thinking to himself that the former workaholic had become a homebody.

Eighty percent of the movies I watch are horror films.

Before that, he accompanied her to watch a movie she had chosen, a horror film. She said that with him around, his positive energy would give her courage. However, she ended up covering her eyes the whole time and frequently asked him about the plot of the movie.

He actually watched that boring and fake plot all the way through and even explained it to her.

Coming to his senses, Huo Mingzheng asked, "Do you know the Du family of Yanjing City"

The man pondered for a few seconds, “I have a vague recollection, what about it”

Hu Mingzheng bit his cigarette, his tone menacing, "I'm going to warn the Du family. This territory is mine, so I wanted to let you know first."

Feel free to ask if you need help.

"That's not necessary, just a mere Du family."

Before hanging up, Huo Mingzheng said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "If you're scared, don't watch."

After finishing his words, he hung up the phone before the other party could speak.

A few seconds later, his phone received a WeChat message.

He clicked it open. It was a golden retriever profile picture sending him an audio message, laced with a thick threat, very much in Liang Feicheng's style.

"Lao Bai has a voice message from you on his phone after you were drunk. It seems quite interesting, I wonder if Fu Yan is interested"

Huo Mingzheng's face changed instantly. He was indeed a man who would take revenge, not letting any slight go unpunished.

He replied quickly with one hand, "Third brother."

Two characters encompass too many emotions.

Liang Feicheng only sent five words: {“Is this showing weakness”}

Huo Mingzheng leaned against the back of the chair, exhaling smoke, his brows gradually blurring.

He'd forgotten what he'd said, after all it was his only time getting drunk. One time Li Dongbai got irritated by him and couldn't win against him, so he clipped a short audio message and sent it to him. He realized then that he'd said such things.

It must absolutely not be heard by anyone.

He stubbed out his cigarette, his voice a raspy whisper. “Have those people been kept under watch”

"Yes," Cao Fang, who was driving ahead, replied.

Huo Mingzheng didn't say anything.

Cao Fang, after all these years beside her, still had doubts in his heart. "Don't you think it was Miss Fu who pushed Miss Wu"

I know it's not her.

Cao Fang was taken aback and blurted out, "Then how do you punish..."

Realizing what he had said, he quickly stopped and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Huo. I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn.”

Huo Mingzheng was looking at the night view by the river, leaning back in his chair and pinching the bridge of his nose. "That stubborn temper of hers needs to be corrected."ng. As soon as she saw him, she turned over and faced away from him.He sat down by the bed, picked her up with the blanket, held her in his arms, and whispered, "Can't you give me a good face on New Y...
