“You two know each other?”
Liu Huohuo asked Chu Lingtian and the beautiful woman, surprised by their reactions upon seeing each other.
Chu Lingtian came to his senses and smiled, "We met once at a bar."
"Ah… yes, yes!"
The beautiful woman nodded instinctively at Chu Lingtian's sharp gaze.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect you two to be so fated."
"Let me introduce you to each other. This is my best friend, Bai Mei."
"Xiao Mei, this is the boyfriend I told you about on the phone, Chu Lingtian."
Liu Huohuo introduced them to each other.
"Boyfriend?"
Chu Lingtian frowned, wondering what kind of game this little vixen Liu Huohuo was playing. He was her sister's boyfriend, so when did he become hers?
"Mr. Chu, hello."
Bai Mei extended her right hand and said to Chu Lingtian with a sweet smile.
Chu Lingtian also smiled, "Ms. Bai, hello."
Their hands clasped, and an electric sensation passed between them, leaving both their palms tingling.
This strange yet comfortable sensation caused their hands to remain clasped for a moment, neither letting go.
"You two seem reluctant to let go of each other."
Liu Huohuo teased when she saw this.
Bai Mei came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly, and said to Chu Lingtian, "I'm sorry."
"I really didn't expect to meet you here again after our encounter at the bar."
Chu Lingtian spoke to Bai Mei with hidden meaning.
Bai Mei had been in the underworld for many years. Not only was she beautiful and voluptuous, but she was also very smart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become a female boss controlling a faction.
Upon hearing the hidden meaning in Chu Lingtian's words, Bai Mei nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes."
Although Bai Mei didn't quite understand why Chu Lingtian, who had single-handedly killed the strongest experts of the Sanhe Gang and its leader, Li Wei, at their Sanhe Gang's Jile Nightclub, would claim they met at a bar in front of Liu Huohuo.
However, Bai Mei had been deeply impressed by Chu Lingtian's terrifying power that night. Subconsciously, she felt an impulse to obey his commands, fearing she would suffer the same fate as Li Wei. Thus, she compliantly responded.
"Alright, now that you've met, I'll take you for a tour of my company."
Liu Huohuo said.
Chu Lingtian and Bai Mei released each other's hands. They exchanged a glance and followed Liu Huohuo into the company.
"Darling, how is the investigation you asked me to conduct last time coming along?"
In the elevator, Liu Huohuo asked Bai Mei.
Bai Mei shook her head and replied, "I sent some people out and used some of my connections in the underworld, but there's no trace of who threw your company's business department manager, Sun Yang, from the eleventh floor."
Hearing Liu Huohuo and Bai Mei's conversation, Chu Lingtian chuckled inwardly. He was the one who did it. Xiao Lengyue and several military officers had witnessed it, but they wouldn't speak. Even if they did, Sun Yang was in the intensive care unit, unconscious. Without proof, there was no case.
"Hmph, if I find out who dared to do this to my subordinate, I'll make them pay dearly."
Liu Huohuo snorted, her ample chest heaving with anger.
Chu Lingtian casually said, "Perhaps your business department manager caused trouble first, and being thrown from the building was his just deserts."
"That doesn't matter. If my subordinates commit any wrongdoing, I and the law will punish them. It's not for outsiders to interfere!" Liu Huohuo glared at Chu Lingtian, her mind suddenly racing. She squinted and asked, "Could it be you who threw my business department manager from the eleventh floor?"
"Heh, you're quite imaginative." Chu Lingtian sneered dismissively, composed, and added, "I don't know your business department manager at all. We have no enmity. Why would I do such a thing?"
"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, that night he went to have dinner with people from my sister's company's sales department to discuss some cooperation, and you're also from my sister's company…"
Before Liu Huohuo could finish, Chu Lingtian interrupted her.
"I'm a security guard at your sister's company, not in the sales department."
Chu Lingtian said.
At this point, Bai Mei couldn't help but ask, "Huohuo, you and Mr. Chu are in a romantic relationship, but he's working as a security guard at your sister's company? What's going on?"
Bai Mei was not only surprised by the complex relationship between Chu Lingtian, Liu Huohuo, and Liu Bingxue, but she also found it unbelievable that such a powerful and capable person like Chu Lingtian would be a mere security guard. How could someone like him be a doorman?
Chu Lingtian smiled and said to Bai Mei, "Don't listen to this little vixen's nonsense. I'm her sister's boyfriend and I'm here to visit her company today."
"So that's how it is."
Bai Mei seemed to understand, and she playfully glared at Liu Huohuo. As best friends for many years, she knew Liu Huohuo's uninhibited personality well.
Liu Huohuo smiled flirtatiously, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Lingtian. "You're my sister's boyfriend, but you haven't married her yet, so you still have the right to choose. And I have the right to love you."
"Little vixen, if you dare to spout nonsense again, this palm will fall heavily on your bottom."
Chu Lingtian raised his right palm in a threatening gesture.
"Go ahead and hit me. I'll present my backside for you to hit. After all, men like to spank women, especially during intimate moments."
Liu Huohuo was truly the uninhibited and arrogant little vixen. In front of her best friend Bai Mei and her two female bodyguards, she pouted her backside towards Chu Lingtian and wriggled suggestively.
Ding!
Just as Chu Lingtian was about to swing his right palm to spank Liu Huohuo's bottom, the elevator chimed, and the doors opened. Liu Huohuo quickly stood up straight, her expression becoming serious and cold.
Chu Lingtian teased with a smile, "Heh heh, little vixen, it seems you're quite proper at the company."
"Of course, I have to be serious in front of my employees, otherwise, I won't have any authority. Who would obey my orders!"
Liu Huohuo rolled her eyes at Chu Lingtian and then walked out of the elevator, swaying her hips.
While Liu Huohuo was greeting her employees, Bai Mei quickly moved closer to Chu Lingtian and whispered, "After we part ways with Huohuo, can I invite you to my place for coffee?"
