Chapter 5
Even
“Alright, see if you can stand up.” Shi Man threw away the rope and stood up abruptly. Her vision darkened and she almost fell.
She had forgotten that the Host had just cut her wrist and was still very weak.
Su Tang supported Shi Man from behind with one hand and held her own tattered clothes with the other.
After Shi Man recovered, she was a little surprised that Su Tang would help her. However, she recalled that Su Tang was a pure and kind girl in the original novel, so she understood.
After she recovered, Shi Man took off her hospital coat and handed it to Su Tang. She was only wearing a vest.
Su Tang quickly declined. “No, no. You’re still a patient. You should wear it yourself.”
“Just wear it.” Shi Man ignored what she said and helped Su Tang put on the clothes.
“Then you…” Su Tang pointed at the white vest Shi Man was wearing.
Shi Man did not say anything. She used to wear even less than this during training. What was wrong with that?
“Oh right.” Shi Man suddenly remembered another purpose of her trip. She reached into the pocket of her hospital gown and took out the Host’s card that she had just asked the maid for. “This card is for you.”
“Card? What do you mean? Why are you giving me money?” Su Tang was puzzled.
“It means we’re even. I might have done something rude to you in the past. Just treat it as my… apology.”
Shi Man waved at Su Tang and walked towards the factory door. She had finally cleaned up after the Host. Next, she would go back and deal with that scheming bitch, Shi Jing.
However, in the next second, the factory was surrounded by cars.
Countless bodyguards in black got out of the car and rushed into the factory and formed a line.
The person who came in after them was the cold and handsome Yi Zheng.
“It’s you? To think you still dare to appear here!” Yi Zheng was a little shocked to see Shi Man here.
The moment Shi Man saw Yi Zheng, she sighed in her heart. Tsk tsk, no wonder the Host was charmed by Yi Zheng.
He was indeed born well. Even she, an agent who was used to seeing beauties in the world, couldn’t help but feel her eyes light up.
Yi Zheng’s facial features were extremely stiff. His features were not as delicate as those of the men from the Shi family. Instead, he was exceptionally handsome. His distinct features and his arrogant and oppressive aura made people shiver. However, they also had an irresistible appeal. He exuded an aura that was both dangerous and tempting.
“Is it strange that it’s me?” Shi Man looked up and met Yi Zheng’s gaze. Her eyes were firm and clear.
Yi Zheng looked at his little fiancée in front of him and actually felt she was a little unfamiliar. Her eyes, which were as tough as a small animal’s, flickered with the afterglow of the setting sun outside the house, eliciting an inexplicable feeling from him.
“What’s wrong? Your woman is behind.”
Why was this man stopping her here instead of looking for Su Tang? Did he know that this was arranged by the original Shi Man?
“Miss Shi, don’t say that.” Su Tang walked into a battle of auras between Shi Man and Yi Zheng. “Brother Yi was only entrusted by my uncle to take care of me. We really don’t have any other relationship.” Su Tang was in a difficult position. No matter how many times she explained, this Missy was unwilling to listen.
Yi Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Tang was fine. He saw the tattered clothes under the hospital coat and roughly knew what had happened. “Did you save Tang’er?”
“Not really. I can only say that we won’t owe each other anything in the future.” Shi Man walked around Yi Zheng and walked out of the factory without looking back.
No matter what the male and female leads thought, she had already done her best. What Shi Man did previously had nothing to do with her, and from now on, Shi Man had nothing to do with Yi Zheng and Su Tang.
The girl’s figure faded into the distance.
“Brother Yi, are we… going home?” Su Tang asked softly.
Yi Zheng had always been distant. Even though he was entrusted by his old friend to take care of Su Tang, he had never treated her well in his life.
Apart from Su Tang, only Shi Man could approach Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng did not speak. With a slight movement, the bodyguard beside him immediately understood. “Miss Su, follow us.” He escorted Su Tang into the car.
“Find out what happened today.” After Su Tang left, Yi Zheng looked around the factory with a strange glint in his eyes.
“Yes,” Tang Zhe replied. As Yi Zheng’s right-hand man, he naturally knew what to do.
The burly man in the pool of blood let out a groan and was immediately dragged down by the bodyguards.
