if fu muyun was here at this moment, she definitely wouldn't be standing here alone, looking like an outsider.

when she thought of fu muyun, her eyes instantly lit up. that's right, she could ask him what he was doing now. it was impossible for him, as the former ceo of the ming zhu group, to not know about such a huge commotion.

in other words, in order to conceal his ident.i.ty, even if he knew, he had pretended not to know anything.

thinking of this, she immediately took out her phone and quickly dialed fu mujun's number.

the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

how could he not answer the phone?

had he fallen asleep?

huo xiwen thought for a bit as he looked at the time on his phone. it was only 8 pm, so he probably wasn't asleep yet.

although she had all sorts of guesses, she had already given up on making the second call.

after putting the phone back into her bag, she lifted her leg and walked to a nearby huo jiabao, who was chatting with someone. "jiabao ge, i'm a bit tired. i'll go home and rest first."

"leaving now?" huo jiabao glanced at her and felt that she did not look too good. he then said, "alright, let's go. i'll take you home."

"no need, i'll take a cab back myself. you can continue reminiscing about old times with everyone here." huo xiwen waved his hand. right now, she only wanted to be by herself.

"take a car?" you won't let your new boyfriend send you off? " huo jiabao curiously asked.

"no, you saw that he was busy at the company's royal ball tonight. i'll go back by myself." huo xiwen replied perfunctorily.

"xi wen …" at that moment, huojiao stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

"what's wrong?"

"are you okay?" huo jiabao already felt that something was wrong. he turned his gaze to chen yanzhuo and asked, "did that brat bully you?"

"no …." no, no, i'm just a little tired. brother, don't worry about me. i'll be leaving first. " huo xiwen waved his hand in a perfunctory manner, then said as he walked.

"then pay attention to your safety. tell me when you get home." chen yanzhuo said from behind her.

"got it." huo xiwen replied, and quickened his pace towards the exit.

although chen yanzhuo was talking to someone at the moment, he kept his eyes on huo xiwen's situation. seeing that she left alone, he immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and ordered a few words over the phone before finally feeling relieved.

"mr. chen, do you have time to talk?" at this time, huo jiujiao walked over to his side, suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder as he asked.

chen yanzhuo turned his head and saw huo jiabao's cold expression. "there are a lot of people here. let's go over there."

huo jiuzi was leaned against the wooden railing inside the room, his eyes looking at him, "earlier, xi wen told me that she was looking for a boyfriend, i was also curious about what kind of man could capture her heart. today, meeting mr. chen, i finally understand what kind of man she likes."

chen yanzhuo knew he wasn't finished, so he didn't say anything and continued to wait for his next sentence.

sure enough, after half a second of silence, huo jiu continued to speak, "you are an executive of ming zhu corporation. you should also know that xi wen had a relationship with your company's former ceo, mr. fu muju. i've been very worried that she wouldn't be able to recover from it. but luckily, after she met you, it seems that she gradually walked out from the haze of losing his lover. these days, i can also see that her mood has clearly improved a lot. it's completely different from before, it's all because of you. "

"mr. huo, you're too kind. as xi wen's boyfriend, it's my responsibility to make her happy." chen yanzhuo said in a calm voice.

"the fact that you can think like this proves that xi wen is not mistaken. can you tell me what happened tonight? " huo jiabao suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"why do you ask?" chen yanzhuo asked.

"xi wen had been fine before he came, but now he feels that something is amiss. furthermore, she has to leave. as her boyfriend, how are you going to explain why you didn't send her away? " huo jiabao said.

chen yanzhuo opened his mouth and was about to say something when huo jiabao added, "i don't want to interfere in the things between you two, but you know, i only have this little sister. i don't want her to suffer any grievances. of course, if it's her problem, i will help you if you ask me for help. "

"thank you. there is no big problem between us. it is just a small misunderstanding. i think i can resolve it myself." chen yanzhuo said.

"that's good. actually, that girl xi wen is quite easy to coax. be patient. as long as you don't do anything that would let her down, she will definitely forgive you." huo jiabao encouraged him.

"i would never do anything to let her down." chen yanzhuo answered with a serious expression.

huo jiu nodded, "alright, i still have a few friends on my side. i'll go greet them."

chen watched him leave, then turned around to face the french windows. the lights outside the windows were flashing, and the night scenery of the city was bustling.

he rubbed his eyes and avoided everyone's gaze as he walked towards a nearby corridor.

he took the elevator upstairs and arrived at a business suite on the 29th floor. the moment he entered, the five men who were seated on the sofa stood up in unison. "charles, you're here."

"how is it? is the cobra gone? " chen yanzhuo walked between them and sat down on the sofa. his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him. at this moment, there were many monitoring images displayed on the notebook.

"he left not long after you did."

"charles, it's too risky today. if the stone tiger really gave you drugs, you might …" at this time, the slightly older middle-aged man spoke to him.

"yeah, charles, if something happens to you, how are we going to explain this to headquarters?" someone echoed.

chen yanzhuo smiled. "don't worry, i was sure it wasn't a drug, that's why i tried it."

"how do you know it's not a drug?"

"how cautious is cobra? he met me for the first time, and before he completely trusted me, you thought he'd be carrying drugs with him? isn't he afraid that i'll be arrested the moment i see any drugs? " chen yanzhuo a.n.a.lyzed.

"what you said makes a lot of sense." everyone nodded.

"although what you said is correct, you still have to be careful next time. although our goal is to catch those drug dealers, your safety is the top priority, we absolutely cannot allow any mishaps to happen." the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"don't worry, i'm fine." just as he was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang.

he picked up his cell phone, looked at the caller id, and immediately picked up the call. "what's the matter?"
