Chapter 28: You can have fun.

Chapter 28

"You're quite playful..." Lu Yanming let out a light laugh, teasing, "With such serious injuries, don't be thinking indecent thoughts for at least a hundred days."

Li Zhen's face instantly turned red.

Lu Yanming took off his glasses and tied the tie he had removed over his eyes, "So you're more open now? Will you let me bathe you?"

Li Zhen was stunned.

So, Lu Yanming had kissed her just to get her to relax?

Lu Yanming took a step back, widening the too-close distance between them. He stood tall before her, exuding a thick aura of restraint.

"Mr. Lu..." Li Zhen's heart quivered, blurting out a fragmented question, "Are you this nice to everyone?"

"Perhaps I am, you'd have to ask everyone to know."

Lu Yanming raised his hand, his protruding knuckles powerful and graceful beneath the warm lights of the bathroom, appearing exceptionally slender and noble.

That hand dexterously made its way to the buttons on Li Zhen's chest, undoing them one by one.

Li Zhen felt her whole body grow hot, the heat scorching.

He politely reminded her, "Li Zhen, I'm about to start."

Li Zhen: ...There was no need to say it aloud.

-

The next day, Li Zhen groggily opened her eyes.

Glancing at her phone, it was already 10:30 am!

She was late!

She bolted up, ready to get dressed for work, when a conspicuous note on her bedside caught her eye.

The writing on it was powerful and vigorous.

【I've gotten you time off work today. Breakfast is warming in the kitchen.】

Li Zhen instantly relaxed.

After leisurely eating breakfast, she headed to work on the bus.

She had just stepped into the office when Zhang Xiya and Qiao Yi came rushing over in shock.

Zhang Xiya supported her, incredulous, "Ancestor! Didn't the company give you sick leave? How are you still eagerly coming in?"

"Don't help me, it's no big deal..." Li Zhen shook off her hand and strode to her own workstation, "We have a huge amount of shooting tasks right now. If I take time off now, my pay this month will be pitiful."

Qiao Yi glared with wide eyes, "With your hand like that, how can you shoot?"

Li Zhen: "Don't I still have my left hand?"

Most of the scenes only needed one hand anyway.

After individually questioning everyone in the conference room today and examining the scene of the incident yesterday, it turned out someone had snuck onto the set and applied a thin layer of wax to the table surface, causing Li Zhen to slip.

Clearly there was an inside accomplice.

They were currently investigating the identity of the infiltrator and the accomplice.

Most importantly, there were also water stains near the scene. The water source was connected to a damaged power cord. Someone else had noticed it afterwards and thought it was a coincidence. If Li Zhen had touched the water stains, it wouldn't have been as simple as just getting injured.

Qiao Yi's face had paled two shades from fear. "How is this any different from attempted murder?"

"Who would be so vicious!" Even Li Zhen felt terrified in retrospect.

"Little Li Zhen, you have to be careful from now on! Could they have been targeting you?" Zhang Xiya's eyes were wide as copper bells.

"Can't say for sure. After all, there were quite a few people scheduled to shoot there yesterday, it's not definite they were coming for you. But being cautious is necessary." Meng Yuanjie had been at Macro Ocean for many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such an incident. He had thought it was a small matter at first, but the company was investigating heavily. The more they looked into it, problems emerged.

Li Zhen nodded. Of course she understood that.

Li Zhen's workload today was quite light. As she was leaving work, she received a message from Yu Sheng telling her to wait for him next to his car in the parking garage after work.

He didn't say what for. Li Zhen chose to ignore it and not reply.

Soon after, Yu Sheng sent another message: 【If I don't see you there more than 3 minutes after work ends, I'm coming to the advertising department.】

Even through the screen, Li Zhen could imagine Yu Sheng's irritating tone!

So annoying, but no choice but to be effective.

After work, Li Zhen went downstairs and saw Yu Sheng next to the Mercedes.

Seeing her approach, he glanced at her bandaged right hand before opening the passenger door for her.

Li Zhen didn't move, glaring at him warily with clear eyes, "Where are you taking me?"

Knowing what she was thinking, Yu Sheng's brows furrowed in displeasure. "Not taking you home."

"I..."

"Shut up and get in the car." Yu Sheng was impatient. Thinking of yesterday's events made his expression even colder. "I still haven't settled accounts with you about helping others give me love letters."

With Yu Sheng's temperament, if Li Zhen hadn't been helping, perhaps no one at the company would have dared take the initiative to pursue him.

Li Zhen coughed awkwardly. "Fine, I'll go with you, but I only have two hours. Then I need to go back..."

"Why the rush to go back?" Yu Sheng fastened her seatbelt for her.

Of course it was to go back and relax watching TV!

Surely he wasn't thinking of working overtime like him?

Li Zhen didn't answer, turning to look out the window. She saw Jiang Kening rushing over in high heels.

The parking area here was exclusive for Macro Ocean's top executives, relatively secluded. Basically no one came by, so Jiang Kening was clearly here for Yu Sheng.

Li Zhen wanted to hide but it was too late. She grabbed Yu Sheng's clothes next to her and covered herself with them.
