Pei Qing said that the company was in trouble, so Fang Li naturally asked a few questions.

But he wouldn't say anything.

Fang Li finally had to compromise: "Okay, then come back early."

After hanging up the phone, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the concerned voice of the servant outside the door.

"Ma'am, I made some chicken soup, would you like some?"

Fang Li opened the door and asked her to put the chicken soup on the table.

The servant was about to leave after putting the things away, but she hesitated, wanting to say something.

"Auntie Chun, what's wrong with you?" Fang Li asked.

Aunt Chun hesitated for a moment, "Just now...someone called me, and when I picked up the phone I asked him who he was, and then he hung up."

"Maybe it was just a wrong number."

"If it was just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he called several times." Aunt Chun hesitated, looked at Fang Li and said, "So I guessed that he might be looking for someone."

Fang Li's eyes flickered.

Pei Qing didn't come back. Now she is the only one in the villa besides Aunt Chun. Could he be looking for her?

But who knows the landline number here?

She inexplicably thought of Fu Yizheng and frowned instantly. Now Fu Yizheng was on her blacklist, and even thinking of him would ruin her mood.

She said with a hint of coldness: "If he calls again, don't answer...just unplug the phone line directly."

The landline phone in the villa is old-fashioned and needs to be connected to a telephone line. It will stop ringing if it is unplugged.

Aunt Chun nodded and quickly went downstairs, probably to unplug the telephone line.

After taking a bath, Fang Li fell asleep in a daze.

I suddenly felt itchy in the middle of my sleep. I opened my eyes and found that at some point, the slightly bright sky outside had turned completely dark, darker than ink.

In her sleep, she felt the hand gently touching her, and the moment Fang Li woke up, she pulled the hand back guiltily.

Fang Li saw the outline of the person beside her clearly, opened her mouth, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Pei Qing? Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

"I saw you were sleeping soundly and thought you were tired, so I didn't wake you up." Pei Qing said gently, "I didn't expect that I would wake you up anyway."

Fang Li adjusted her posture and put her head on his knees.

Pei Qing also indulged her and helped her adjust to a more comfortable position.

The two of them sat quietly like this for a while.

Smelling the faint scent from Pei Qing, Fang Li felt unprecedented peace.

After a while, she spoke up: "How do we deal with the public opinion online?"

"I sent lawyers' letters to several uploaders and asked them to explain that the pictures were photoshopped."

"Will they... believe it?" Fang Li hesitated for a long time this time, even feeling a little uneasy.

She knew better than anyone that those photos were real.

Fu Yizheng used public opinion to force her and lure her into the cage. How could he use such a childish method as photoshopping? Of course it's all true.

He planned every step just to get her.

Pei Qing's hand suddenly reached out and pried open Fang Li's fist without saying a word.

Only then did Fang Li notice the faint crescent mark on the palm of her hand.

And she didn't feel any pain at all just now.

"Don't hurt yourself, no matter what happens." Pei Qing brushed aside her hair, "I'm here."

……

The next day, Fang Li went back to the company.

There was less public opinion, and the strange looks that she often received in the company some time ago also decreased.

Employees who see her will greet her with a smile on their faces: "Hello, Vice President Fang."

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Mr. Fu, come to the company."

Fang Li replied with a smile.

But when her eyes swept across one place, she suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

Fu Yizheng and his men had just walked to the front desk when they suddenly stopped and looked straight at her with a deep gaze.

Her heart suddenly started beating faster and Fang Li quickly looked away.

Someone saw that she looked unhappy and asked with concern: "Vice President Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Li shook her head palely: "Nothing, let's go."

On the way back, she tried to get rid of the scene, but it kept coming back to her mind.

Unconsciously, Fu Yizheng seemed to have almost become her nightmare.

Why did he come again?

It wasn't enough that he had harmed her like this, what else did he want?

These questions piled up in Fang Li's mind, making her irritated and unable to control herself, and she subconsciously walked faster and faster.

The people around her were left far behind by her.

"Vice President Fang, please don't walk so fast..."

Just as she finished speaking, Fang Li twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.

The second before she fell, her heart was filled with regret.

Fortunately, a hand hugged her in time, and a familiar sense of security came over her. Fang Li was carefully embraced by Pei Qing.

Fang Li could feel his beating heart. It was obvious that not only did she get scared, but Pei Qing as well.

"Fang Li, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Fang Li had just answered when she heard another set of footsteps behind her.

She raised her pale little face, and as expected, it was Fu Yizheng she saw.

He was wearing a straight handmade suit, and his short hair made his face look particularly thin and sharp, and he looked very dapper.

But only Fang Li knew what kind of beast was hidden under this expensive suit.

He pretended and deceived her, trying to seduce her little by little with his former tenderness.

Whenever Fang Li thought about what happened that night, she felt a sense of fear, which in turn caused her to have an indelible shadow on the man in front of her.

Fu Yizhen's eyes moved around her face and slowly fell on Pei Qing, "Boss Pei, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Pei Qing looked up at him.

The two men looked at each other, and no one knew what they communicated.

Soon, Pei Qing let go of Fang Li.

Fang Li subconsciously wanted to catch him, not wanting him to confront Fu Yizhen alone, "Pei Qing, don't go."

Pei Qing glanced at her, and his warm palm seemed to have the power to calm people down. "Wait for me."

Fang Li watched them walk into the office in the distance.

She sat there quietly, her face paler than paper, and everyone around her was so scared that they wanted to send her to the hospital for a check-up.

"Vice President Fang, are you really okay?" someone came and asked.

Seeing her shaking her head again, she paused and said, "The one who just went in seems to be from the Fu Group. I heard that they want to discuss a business deal with us. That's what they said, but I think they bowed their heads."

Fang Li was slightly stunned.

"Vice President Fang, if you hadn't come here a few days ago, you wouldn't have known that President Pei was like crazy, staring at the Fu Group and snatching a lot of their orders. I think the Fu Group must be in a state of panic right now."

"Otherwise, their President Fu would not have taken the initiative to propose cooperation with us."

At the same time, in the president's office.

Fu Yizhen put a contract in front of Pei Qing: "The transfer rights of the land in South China are yours once you sign it."

Pei Qing didn't even look at it and pushed it back.

"What do you mean?"

"I agreed to meet you just to tell you something." Pei Qing's eyes were extremely sharp, "Don't try to attack Fang Li again."
