Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 41: Whose Hand Touched Her?

Huo Zhenyang frowned at his handsome brows and casually answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Jiayi’s home?" The other end of the line was a young girl’s voice.

"Who are you?" Huo Zhenyang’s frown deepened.

Tang En’en sighed in relief, thankful that she had previously asked Jiayi for her landline number for easier contact. She had just tried her mobile phone but couldn’t get through, so she hurriedly said, "I’m her colleague, Tang En’en. We had agreed to go to KTV tonight, but today Vice President Gao made her work overtime. Jiayi said she would call me after finishing, but she hasn’t, and I can’t get through to her mobile... I’m worried something happened to her, so I’m calling her home phone to ask. May I know who you are? Are you her brother? Oh right, has Jiayi come back..."

The man on the other end of the phone, with a magnetic and deep voice like strings music, made Tang En’en’s heart thump wildly, yet she also felt it strange.

Huh, wasn’t Jiayi working alone in G City?

She never mentioned having brothers or family here!

Could it be her boyfriend?

But she had never heard of Jiayi having a boyfriend.

Perhaps she had a roommate to save on rent?

However, given her somewhat conservative nature, she probably wouldn’t live with a man, would she?

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then suddenly a "bang", piercingly painful to the eardrum.

It took Tang En’en a moment to react, "Hello... hello, are you still there?"

But the call had already been hung up.

Inside the apartment, Auntie Li had also been waiting for Jiayi all night. Seeing the young master’s face turn uncertain after the call, she hurriedly asked, "Young master, what’s wrong?"

Huo Zhenyang didn’t speak, just furrowed his brows even more and dialed another number.

Meanwhile, in an office at JJ, the scene was in complete disorder, with folders thrown all over the carpet.

Gao Ziming, drenched in sweat, gasped as he climbed off Qiao Mina, irritably searching for his persistently ringing phone amidst a pile of clothes.

"Who is it, damn it, who calls in the middle of the night? If it’s nothing important, I’ll kill you..." Gao Ziming cursed under his breath.

"Is it your wife looking for you?" Qiao Mina, fox-like and delicate, leaned on the sofa, puckering her lips: "I don’t care, I won’t let you go home to be with that old hag."

Although she loathed Gao Ziming’s looks, the sense of achievement in stealing someone else’s husband was undeniable.

Humph, any normal man would be enchanted by a beauty like her and wouldn’t dream of going back to an old, faded wife.

Gao Ziming, once again aroused by Qiao Mina’s teasing, didn’t even look at the phone screen, just pressed the answer button and bellowed a loud "Hello".

After this "hello", Gao Ziming’s face turned pale, his eyes wide, his throat like that of a choked rooster, his voice becoming like a panting dog, "Is... oh, alright!"

With that, he pushed Qiao Mina off him, slipped on a pair of trousers and left first.

Qiao Mina dressed while watching Gao Ziming step out of the office to talk on the phone, her eyebrows furrowed, unsure who was calling.

When Gao Ziming returned, he had quickly put on his clothes and was rushing out.

"What’s happened..." Qiao Mina was startled and reached out to grab him.

Gao Ziming, however, had lost his earlier sweet talk. Seeing her block his way, he was very annoyed and pushed her aside: "Get out of the way! I’ve got business to attend to. You go back first!"

Four Seasons Hotel, Shuiyun Room.

The more Li Daguo drank, the more ridiculous his words became, letting loose with all sorts of dirty jokes, along with some very exaggerated teasing.

"Xiaoluo, come on, why aren’t you drinking? How do you do business without drinking? Didn’t your Deputy General Manager Gao teach you?" Li Daguo personally filled a glass of wine and extended it toward Jiayi.

Jiayi could hardly keep up with the defense and could only try to stay as far away as possible from the half-drunk man. She needed to find a gentle way to retreat promptly and lightly pushed the wine glass away: "Mr. Li, it’s getting late. How about I call a car for you and take you back first?"

"After this glass, we’ll leave, and then we’ll let your new products into the best counters at Leting Department Store. From now on, all new products from JJ will also get the best spots in our department store!" Li Daguo was clearly too drunk to function, pushing the wine glass toward the girl again.

Jiayi believed him, thought to herself that it was just a cup of wine, gritted her teeth, and took the wine glass.

However, a full glass was too much for someone like her who didn’t drink; even if it didn’t kill her, she’d be drunk for three or four days!

She sipped a mouthful, tilted her head back, and poured it into her mouth. But secretly, she kept a small amount in her mouth and, while Li Daguo wasn’t paying attention, scooped up a spoonful of soup into her bowl, pretending to drink, then spit all the wine back into the soup.

Still, the small amount of alcohol she did swallow made her body instantly feel like it was on fire, and she started feeling dizzy. She picked up her document bag, standing up by sheer willpower: "... Mr. Li, can we leave now..."

The girl’s pale face turned red from the alcohol, her speech unclear. Li Daguo stroked his chin, and a lascivious smile crept up his face. He stood up, walked over, and grabbed her hand: "What’s the rush? Let’s not hurry off just yet... If you leave like this, I won’t be satisfied, and your Deputy General Manager will scold you too, right? My secretary has booked a room upstairs in the hotel. Let’s enjoy ourselves here tonight..."

With a "slap," Jiayi forcefully brushed away his lecherous hand and staggered back several steps.

So he was just toying with her all along! Saying they would leave after one drink... It was all a lie.

Tang En’en was right; these business dinners are indeed dark and filthy!

Seeing her struggle free, Li Daguo became even more intrigued and chased after her: "Beauty, don’t go—"

Leaning on the remnants of her consciousness, Jiayi ran toward the door but her legs gave way, and she fell.

At that moment, with a "clang," the door to the Shuiyun Room was kicked open, accompanied by the panicked voice of a waiter: "Someone’s inside, sir..."

But slowly, the voice of the waiter grew quieter and then completely vanished, as if he had heard something and discreetly made his exit.

In a haze, Jiayi saw the figure of a man, fierce as an Asura, storming in like a strong wind.

The man glanced at Jiayi, who lay crumpled in a corner, barely conscious, his eyes narrowing slightly, his emotions unreadable, and then walked towards Li Daguo with determined strides.

"You—" Li Daguo rubbed his eyes, still unable to adjust to the swift change in the situation, when he was abruptly grabbed by the collar by the intruding stranger.

"Which hand touched her?" His voice was low, as if rising from hell itself, not very loud but chilling to the bone.

"What do you mean... who are you?" Li Daguo tried to widen his eyes. Before he could finish speaking, the man slammed him to the ground, pinning him down firmly, his limbs splayed out. Suddenly, his hand’s back felt a sharp pain, and he screamed.

The man’s polished leather shoes pressed down on one of his hands, grinding back and forth, the sound of bones cracking echoing in the air.

The service staff and hotel manager outside the door, upon hearing the man’s name, didn’t dare make a sound and stayed far away.

After Li Daguo screamed until his voice was hoarse, Huo Zhenyang finally moved his foot away, turned, bent down his tall body, and picked up Jiayi from the carpet.
