Chapter 101 - Utilization of the South Bridge

With that in mind, Huo Ting quickened his pace and strode away. He went to the underground garage of the Modern House to get his car when he felt a sharp pain in his back, followed by a burning sensation that spread out in all directions.

It was a bit dark in the garage. Huo Ting turned around and saw two or three men in black standing in front of him under the light of the cyan and white lights. All of them were holding sticks in their hands.

Huo Ting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

Looking at the few people in front of him, Huo Ting's mind raced as he kept thinking about whether he had offended anyone in the past few days. In fact, Huo Ting was a man who knew a lot about business.

His personality was gentle and without aggression, and he also knew how to show mercy to others. Coupled with his powerful family background, no one dared to go against him, Huo Ting.

Except for one person.

Yu Cen Ran's face appeared in Huo Ting's mind as he clenched his fists. He narrowed his eyes slightly and heard the man in black say coldly, "Hand over the things in your pocket. We won't make things difficult for you. You can leave now."

Subconsciously, Huo Ting gripped the pocket of his suit pants tightly. There was something stuck close to his thigh, and if Huo Ting didn't want to hand it over, he wouldn't hand it over so easily.

The black-clothed people could tell that Huo Ting was hesitating. Then, their eyes flashed as they looked at each other. Suddenly, they moved and surrounded Huo Ting. Huo Ting wanted to rush out, but was pushed back by the club.

"Young Master Huo, we don't want to use violence against you either, but you can't blame others for your insensibility!"

With a look, the strongest person stepped forward and mercilessly swung his staff towards Huo Ting. The first thing he did was to greet Huo Ting's back, then Huo Ting's lower leg.

Huo Ting was unwilling to give in so easily. He dodged to the left and right, dodging the man's attack. However, the battle of attrition consumed a lot of energy. Not long after, Huo Ting began to feel weak.

Just as he was distracted, Huo Ting was struck in the chest. He groaned, "Ah!"

This group of people's actions were not light. Huo Ting grimaced in pain and kept gasping, unwilling to let out cries of pain. The few of them looked at him more forcefully, while Huo Ting gritted his teeth and endured.

Finally, just before Huo Ting lost his consciousness, he vaguely saw the black clothed person slowly approaching him as he reached out with his hand towards his pocket …

It was late at night in the Yu Family villa. South Bridge was lying on the bed and playing with his cellphone. After coming back from the banquet, it had already taken a early bath, and then it was lying on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

As for Yu Cen Ran, he was sitting at the opposite table with a laptop in front of him. His hand was moving the mouse from time to time. Yu Cen Ran seemed to be looking at something as his face darkened.

Nanqiao turned his head, took a glance, and then asked, "Yu Cen Ran, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Yu Cen Ran replied coldly.

Since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask anymore. Thinking about this, she turned her head, her eyes once again falling onto the screen of her phone, focusing on the colorful game as her fingers tapped nimbly.

Yu Cen Ran placed both of her hands on the sides of the chair and placed them under her chin. Yu Cen Ran's eyes were filled with an unconcealable maliciousness as she stared unblinkingly at the computer screen.

The computer was plugged in with the chip that he snatched from Huo Ting. He turned it on and saw a video.

It wasn't an ambiguous plot, not an AV film. It just so happened to be the scene where Yu Cen Ran ate for an entire night: Huo Ting and Nanqiao were standing together, and the two of them seemed to be talking and laughing.

In the entire business world, who didn't know about the grudge between Huo Ting and Yu Cen Ran? There was a South Bridge in between them, and the host of the banquet knew that Yu Cen Ran would bring South Bridge over.

An uninvited guest, no matter how he thought about it, seemed to have some sort of motive.

Therefore, from the moment Huo Ting appeared at the banquet, Yu Cen Ran had secretly made people watch over Huo Ting. He hoped that everything was just for himself, but he didn't expect that Huo Ting would still make use of the South Bridge.

Huo Ting wanted to do something with this video. Yu Cen Ran took the chip out of his hand and held it tightly in his palm. A slight trickle of sweat moistened the chip, but Yu Cen Ran knew what was going on in her heart.

— — Huo Ting wants to make use of South Bridge to create public opinion again

Some time ago, the incident of the Yu Group plagiarizing the gate was a hot topic. The media was accusing that it was Nanqiao who sold the information to the Huo Group because Huo Ting was the lover of Nanqiao, and Nanqiao definitely had the motive to sell out the Yu Group.

Although it wasn't too difficult, Yu Cen had just suppressed the news. He didn't expect Huo Ting to turn around and stealthily prepare to blow a big piece of news. He still took advantage of South Bridge's trust.

A man who uses a woman

Yu Cen Ran's long, distinct fingers slowly tightened with great force. Even his knuckles were popping. His eyes were filled with hostility as he disdained a clumsy man like Huo Ting!

Opening the browser, Yu Cen Ran opened the website and her eyes fell on the computer screen. The headlines in the media were no longer the focus of attention of South Bridge.

Spending some money to create bigger news was a common way for public relations, Yu Cen thought. If it was to help the South Bridge, no matter how much money he spent, he would never complain.

However, Yu Cen Ran did not expect or dare to imagine that if he had not been prepared for Huo Ting, Huo Ting would have pushed the South Bridge to the heart of the struggle. He would not have been able to repent!

Yu Cen Ran looked up and saw Nan Qiao lying prone on the bed with a mobile phone in her hand. She was completely unprepared for what was happening. Feeling Yu Cen Ran's gaze, he smiled and asked Nan Qiao what was the matter.

Yu Cen Ran sighed and closed the computer screen with a snap. Then, she moved her long legs and walked to the bed in a few steps, lifted a corner of the blanket and got into bed.

With his big palm, he lifted the quilt and brought it into the room. The South Bridge trembled and reached out to gently push Yu Cen Ran away. He rebuked, "What are you doing?!"

In the blink of an eye, Yu Cen Ran was lying down beside the South Bridge. His steel-like arms were wrapped around the South Bridge's waist, and his chin was resting on the South Bridge's shoulder. His actions were a bit abnormal.

His warm breath sprayed right next to her ear. The South Bridge was somewhat sensitive, and it didn't take long for his body to soften. After a while, Yu Cen Ran's cold voice rang in her ears, "South Bridge."

Nanqiao was confused. "Huh?"

Yu Cen Ran sighed and hugged even harder. "South Bridge, I won't let you get hurt."

No, and I don't want you to get hurt

Was this his promise?

After staring blankly for a while, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Nan Qiao's mouth. Did she hear Yu Cen Ran's words just now? She suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.

The South Bridge discovered that she did not reject this sort of warmth. It was just like a fire in winter that could not burn hot enough, but just so happened to be right.

Turning around, South Bridge hugged Yu Cen Ran's body, and pressed his face against her chest. The man's calm and powerful heart beat could clearly be heard through her chest. One after another, the curve of South Bridge's mouth widened.

Just when Yu Cen Ran thought that Nan Qiao had fallen asleep, the person under her suddenly spoke in a muffled voice, "I know, you're here."

Just a few short words came out from that cherry red lips, distinct and clear, each word reaching Yu Cen Ran's ears. Yu Cen Ran was no longer able to control herself as she tightened her grip on South Bridge's shoulder, feeling unstoppable joy in her heart.

As the night deepened, the soft moonlight shone through the French windows and onto the bed, enveloping the two of them in a dark light. The atmosphere was just right, the girl was just right, you were by my side, I was by your side.

This beautiful night was like countless ordinary nights. Time quietly flowed by, but neither South Bridge nor Yu Cen Ran knew that this was merely the calm before the storm. Instead, a true storm was about to strike …

Yu Cen Ran rolled over in the darkness. His uneasiness and restlessness tormented him so much that he didn't sleep at all the night. His palm was on South Bridge's small shoulders as he gently placed the South Bridge to one side.

In December, even with the heater on, there was still an indescribable chill. Yu Cen Ran fumbled in the darkness, opened the drawer under the bedside cabinet and found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Finally, he turned back to look at the South Bridge. The woman had already fallen asleep. Yu Cen Ran's thin lips curved up into a smile. Soon, the darkness disappeared, and she walked over, opening the window and closing the door.

Yu Cen Ran lit up a cigarette. The cigarette smoke surrounded the man's body, making him look more and more lonely. At this moment, the horizon in the distance was already starting to turn white, and dawn was about to arrive.

Yu Cen Ran pressed a button on her cell phone and no one answered. After a long time, a voice came from the other end, "Young Master Yu, what is it again?"

Zhou Yu Chen yawned and took out his phone to look at his surroundings. While he was on the phone, no one spoke. Zhou Yu Chen waited patiently, his eyes narrowed into a drowsy state.

After a long while, Yu Cen Ran said coldly, "The investigation that I asked you to investigate, is there still no news?"

Zhou Yu Chen complained: "Of course not. The video from the hospital is cut, and the doctors and nurses aren't exactly consistent. The investigation is difficult, so even if we find any clues, we have to slowly follow it. We won't be in a hurry."

"Yes." Yu Cen Ran took a deep breath of the cigarette and fell into deep thought.
