The force was like a gust of wind, extremely powerful!

In an instant, Li Li’s face turned bright red, and her originally plump cheeks immediately swelled up.

Standing there, she glared at Huo Jinnan angrily, "Who are you?"

Huo Jinnan did not speak.

Qin Shaojin’s lips curled into a smile at the side, his peach blossom eyes intoxicating as he smiled, "You’re not worthy of knowing."

He turned back to look at Huo Jinnan, who originally had plans to play golf together, but Huo had taken a call halfway and ended up here instead.

Huo Jinnan stood there, glanced at Che Huan, and pulled a few paper towels from the table to wipe Che Huan’s fingers, then wiped his own before tossing them into the nearby trash can, "Does it still hurt?"

Che Huan shook her head.

Huo Jinnan raised his hand, his palm touching the red mark on her face.

Che Huan couldn’t help but frown.

Huo Jinnan removed his hand, his voice cold as ice, "You call this not hurting?"

...

Che Huan didn’t speak, biting her lip with a choked feeling in her throat; she never expected him to suddenly appear, much less stand up for her!

Huo Jinnan shifted his gaze, his thin lips pursed coldly as he looked in Li Li’s direction, "Your husband is Zhao Gang, the deputy director of the Education Bureau?"

Upon hearing his tone, Li Li suddenly lost her voice standing there.

What did he mean by that?

Could it be that this man had some background and wanted to go after her husband?

Huo Jinnan, standing there, cast a sideways glance at Che Huan’s disheveled hair.

Che Huan blushed and lowered her head, embarrassed to have him see her in such a disheveled state!

Huo Jinnan looked down and saw a strand of hair on the floor. Suddenly, he raised his hand and harshly slapped Li Li’s already swollen cheek, "From now on in Hongcheng, without my permission, no one can touch her, not even a single hair!"

The low, chilling voice of the man seemed to possess a magical power, causing an unstoppable shudder!

Li Li stood there, her body swaying for a good while before steadying herself, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Thinking of the Huo Family, in Hongcheng, no one had more clout than they did! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She felt more confident and sneered coldly at Huo Jinnan, "Before you hit me, you’d better think it through. The one wanting to deal with this little slut is the Huo Family from the north of the city. Don’t end up causing trouble for yourself in a misguided attempt to play the hero!"

"Is that so?"

Huo Jinnan’s brows knitted slightly, his gaze settling on Li Li with an intensity that sent shivers down one’s spine!

After a moment of eye contact with him, Li Li couldn’t bear it any longer and began to make a scene, shouting at the top of her lungs, "He’s hitting me, he’s hitting me, the thief’s lover is hitting me!"

Hearing the words "thief’s lover," Che Huan’s face flushed with embarrassment. She glanced at Huo Jinnan, quickly shifting her gaze away, "Mr. Huo..."

Huo Jinnan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Did you touch the money?"

Che Huan looked up at him, "No."

"Good."

Huo Jinnan said only one word, looking towards Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin, catching on, nodded with a smile.

Watching from the side, Li Li couldn’t help but inhale sharply. Could he actually turn the tables?

Just then, Qin Shaojin looked at Huo Jinnan with a smile, "The police are here."

Huo Jinnan responded with a flat "Mm," "Let them in."

Qin Shaojin walked over, opened the door, and said to the four men in black suits at the door, "Let the police officers in."

The police, seeing the scene and recognizing Qin Shaojin, couldn’t help but feel intimidated. These past few days, the order had been passed down through all the precincts, and the words "Attorney Qin" had become well known, too familiar to ignore—the untouchable King Yama with a smile. They didn’t expect to encounter him like this!

The leading officer went through the motions and asked, "Who called the police?"
