"That's easy to deal with. When the time comes, hire some troll army to post on the internet asking for the truth to be revealed. Just say that everyone present could prove that the beating was a hype and it wasn't true." Xie Lu said indifferently, "Nowadays, no one cares about those. They're just there to watch the fun."

Although this made it impossible for Qiao Xuan to agree, she knew that it was still possible.

"Alright," Qiao Xuan agreed as he placed her name card on the table. "My number is on there, you can call me when it's convenient, but I hope that you can do what you promised me before that."

Xie Run immediately got off the bed. "It's very convenient for me right now. Miss Qiao, let's go."

Seeing that Qiao Xuan had unconsciously stepped aside, Xie Lu snorted coldly, "You think I'm a fool? If I had explained it to him first, would you have come? "You should either come with me now, or have him kneel down and admit his mistake. Otherwise, you can just wait for your reputation to be tarnished!"

Qiao Xuan knew that she had no other choice, she only felt that the heavens were messing with her. Just now, she felt that she and Sheng Liang had a good start, but coincidentally this kind of thing happened. In the future, it would truly be impossible for her and him to meet again.

After walking out of the hospital with Xie Run, Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still got into his car.

After opening his room in the hotel, Xie Run used his room card to open the door. He suddenly pushed Qiao Xuan in, then heavily slammed the door shut, and said with a sinister smile: "Since we're all here, stop putting on an act, take it off."

Qiao Xuan's slender fingers rested on the buttons on her gown as she slowly undid them. Every time she untied them, it was as if she was taking a step closer to hell.

But this was the path she had chosen, and she would not regret it.

Qiao Xuan took off his gown and threw it on the ground. When he saw that Xie Lu had already stripped to his underwear, he looked at her evilly.

Qiao Xuan couldn't help but shiver. She subconsciously held herself tighter as she watched Xie Lun approach her step by step. Only then did she truly feel afraid.

Instinctively, she retreated to the side of the bed. There was nowhere for her to retreat to. "I'm not ready yet. Don't come over."

"You don't need to prepare. Just enjoy yourself." Xie Run pushed forcefully and pushed Qiao Xuan onto the bed.

Just as he was about to press himself down, he heard the sound of a door being broken in from outside. When he turned around, he was covered by a black bag, followed by punches and kicks.

Qiao Xuan was still in shock and unable to regain her senses. Someone had already wrapped her with a wide bundle of clothes and pulled him into their embrace, caressing her back lightly. A familiar voice came from above her head, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine."

It was actually … Sheng Liang!

The enormous surprise made Qiao Xuan speechless. She merely curled up and crawled into his embrace again, as if there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

He clearly knew that he shouldn't have given her hope, but seeing her panic-stricken and helpless look, Sheng Liang simply couldn't refuse.

Moreover, she had fallen into such a dangerous situation for his sake.

He tightened his grip on her and comforted her softly, "With me around, no one can bully you."

Qiao Xuan even felt that these were the most beautiful words of love she had ever heard, even though they might not mean the same thing to him.

But, what did it matter, as long as it was in her heart.

When Maureen was pretty much done, she took off the black bag covering Xie Lu's head, took a picture of him with her cell phone, and said with a smile, "The internet is really good these days. Send a photo and you'll be red with every minute. I wonder what your students will think when they see you naked, they'll definitely think you're a beast in disguise, right, Professor Xie?"

Xie Run looked at Mo Lin, then looked at Sheng Liang, and then he knew that it was all true. He used his hands to cover his private parts, and pointed at them: "Do you guys know who I am, that you guys don't want to live anymore right?"

"You're right, I just don't want to live anymore. I just want your father in law, that crocodile, to find someone to fix me up." Maureen walked up to him and waved her cell phone in his face. "But before that, you have to make sure he's still your father-in-law."

Seeing that Xie Run didn't seem to understand what he meant, Mo Lin wasn't in a hurry. He took out his cell phone from his pants on the floor, found a number, and said, "Such a meaningful photo, I'll have to send it to your wife first."

Hearing that, Xie Lu's face immediately changed, and said: "Don't, don't, don't. We can talk, we can talk, how about this, you guys give me the photo, I'll send a message to Sheng Liang to clarify it, what do you think?"

Mo Lin turned to look at Sheng Liang. Both of them understood, but Mo Lin still purposely said: "This business, we are not going to make a profit. His small share of the company, is not as big as your wife's family's property."

Xie Lu swallowed hard and kneeled on the ground with a plop. He clasped his hands together and said, "Third Young Master Sheng, I was in the wrong. I owe it to you to hit me. Please forgive me."

Maureen pressed her cell phone, squatted in front of him, and said, "What you said just now, I'll record it too. If I find out that you're being dishonest and do some small things behind your back, photos, and recordings, I'll send them to your wife anytime. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it. Give me half a day, before it gets dark, I'll definitely make it seem as if nothing happened." Xie Run nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.

Seeing that everything was settled, Sheng Liang let Mo Lin take Xie Lun out. He picked up Qiao Xuan's clothes and passed it to her: "In the future, don't do anything for me. It's not worth it."

Qiao Xuan received it without even raising his head to look at him. "Whether it's worth it or not, is not up to you to decide."

In her heart, it was worth it.

"Qiao Xuan!"

Sheng Liang wanted to say more, but Qiao Xuan cut him off immediately: "You go out first, I need to put on my clothes."

Sheng Liang sighed lightly, and turned around to leave.

Qiao Xuan sat on the bedside for a while, her mind still thinking about the scene from before. When he hugged her, she really felt that she wouldn't be able to ask for anything else in her entire life.

After she was dressed, she opened the door and left. Sheng Liang was still waiting outside and when he saw her, he said softly, "Let's go."

After getting on the car, Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang was about to turn around and return home, and immediately said: "Send me to the company."

Sheng Liang subconsciously looked at her. Although Xie Run did not succeed in what just happened, he was still able to scare her. At a time like this, she had to go back to work.

Qiao Xuan shook his head: "Although Xie Run has promised to settle this matter, but within the company, Sheng Hua will not let this matter go. I'm worried that he will encourage the other directors to use this opportunity to kick you out of the board."

"I won't give them the chance." Sheng Liang looked ahead, the look in his eyes could cause chills to run down one's spine.
