The atmosphere became tense as Song Zhe looked at Chen Xi and broke the silence.

"Without my permission, who would dare to take her away?"

Meng Qingxia was the first to react and immediately walked to his side.

Tang Hongbo didn't say anything and only calmly swept his gaze across everyone present. His gaze stayed on Chen Xi for half a second before moving away.

Song Zhe seemed to be a little impatient, and he snorted.

"No matter who it is, Miss Chen Xi, I must bring him away today."

"Is that so?" Tang Hongbo laughed disdainfully, then looked at Song Zhe and continued.

"Without my permission, who would dare to take him away from here?"

Song Zhe looked at Tang Hongbo coldly. Actually, this was not his first time interacting with Tang Hongbo.

But every time, he would lose to Tang Hongbo. This time, not only did it involve Chen Xi alone, it also involved the entire Tang clan, so he had to investigate it thoroughly.

believed that there must be hidden secrets that could not be revealed, so he had been keeping an eye on the Tang Clan the entire time.

As long as the Tang clan did anything, he would definitely investigate everything thoroughly.

This time would not be an exception.

"Boss Tang, I thought you wouldn't appear. Since you have appeared, don't hinder us from dealing with this case." Song Zhe said with a cold face.

"You mean the case? You took advantage of my absence to bring your people to our company and thoroughly investigate our situation. May I ask, who gave you the right to kill my people, and who didn't set them on fire, and who didn't steal from them, and what kind of case did you handle? " Tang Hongbo said in a stern voice, his entire body releasing cold Qi.

Song Zhe snorted.

"Just based on this and these problematic diamond jewels." Song Zhe said as he handed over the search warrant.

Tang Hongbo reached out and took it. Without even looking at it, he directly tore the search warrant into pieces and threw it into the air with a ripping sound.

The white confetti fell off one by one, and everyone present was stupefied, not expecting him to do such a thing.

Including Chen Xi and Song Zhe.

"That's all you're saying. It's just a piece of scrap paper in my eyes, and you're still holding the chicken feathers as an arrow, right? Also, you want to investigate me based on these fake jewelry that you don't know where they came from? Song Zhe, let me tell you, not to mention you, even if your Chief of Department comes, you can forget about taking away my people. " After Tang Hongbo finished speaking, he did not wait for the other party's reply and turned to speak to Secretary Wang.

"Secretary Wang, send our guest off."

After that, he turned around and walked back into his own office. When he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around to look at the still in a daze, Chen Xi, and said in a low voice.

"Why aren't you coming with me?"

After Chen Xi reacted, she saw that's expression was not well, and looked at her with a darkened face.

After weighing the pros and cons, he followed up with small steps.

Before anyone could react, Tang Hongbo had already pulled Chen Xi and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Song Zhe looked at the paper fragments on the ground, the anger on his face could be imagined.

"Prosecutor Song, this way please." Secretary Wang looked at Song Zhe and said indifferently.

"Hmph, take these back." Song Zhe snorted, pointing to the jewels on the ground, he said to his colleagues behind him.

Only after seeing Song Zhe slam the door and leave with his colleague did Meng Qingxia finally heave a sigh of relief.

"Qingxia, are you alright?" Chen Yiran walked forward, held Meng Qingxia's hand, and asked in a concerned tone.

Meng Qingxia was surprised.

"You, when did you come?"

Chen Yiran sighed, and as expected, she did not pay attention to him.

"I just arrived. Are you alright? Did I scare you?" Chen Yiran asked softly.

Meng Qingxia shook her head.

And Han Hao, from the moment Tang Hongbo appeared until he was taken away, he had not said a single word.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. Perhaps what she needed the most wasn't him, but the light and hope that bloomed in his eyes when he saw Chen Xi's eyes again.

When she was in dire straits, she was still thinking of him, not of herself, which he hadn't realized until today.

Han Hao lowered his head and did not say a word.

Maybe it wasn't him she needed from beginning to end.

Chen Xi also followed Tang Hongbo back to his office. On the way there, he wore a cold expression and did not say a word.

Kacha, it's the sound of a lock falling on the door. When Chen Xi turned her head, before she could even react, she felt the world spinning around her.

His body was still as cold as the wind and frost, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only foolishly look at him.

He had one hand wrapped around her slender waist, rubbing against it while the other was placed across her chest, as he spoke in an extremely slow and low voice.

"Are you trying to test my patience by causing trouble when I'm not here?"

His face was very close to hers, his eyes fixed on hers, and the tone of his voice was on her face and neck.

Chen Xi suddenly felt that being able to hear his voice, his heart became very calm.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Is this how you welcome me?" Tang Hongbo continued.

When Chen Xi heard his rhythmic heartbeat, for some reason, her own heartbeat started beating erratically. She couldn't stand the look in his eyes as she tilted her head.

"Do you believe that I did it?"

It was clearly a question, but it sounded like she was acting coquettishly and feeling wronged.

Tang Hongbo's eyes suddenly became gentle. He relaxed his body and then pressed the weight of his entire person onto Chen Xi's body.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Xi was shocked, and then, she could barely extend her hand to push him.

"It's so heavy, get up." Chen Xi gasped for breath and said.

"Let me sleep for a while. I haven't slept for more than 20 hours." Tang Hongbo's voice carried a deep exhaustion as it entered her ears.

She pushed his hand and suddenly stopped. She looked at the side of his face which had fallen on her shoulder. He quietly closed his eyes. However, one could still see the exhaustion on his face.

She couldn't bear to push him away.

Chen Xi sighed, and then spent some effort to coax and drag him over to the office's sofa so that he could sleep more comfortably.

But as soon as he sat down, he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the sofa, then laid his head on her lap.

He found a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep, but his grip on her hand never relaxed.

Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She lowered her head and looked at the sleeping Tang Hongbo and couldn't help but laugh.

He was really tired and fell asleep not long after.

Chen Xi originally thought that he called her into his office to question her. He thought that he would get angry, but he didn't say anything.

Why did the scene suddenly turn like this? She didn't understand.

But what she was sure of was that her heart, which had always been unsettled, calmed down the moment she saw Tang Hongbo.

It was as if the whole world had gone silent and she had even forgotten what was happening. When Duan Wenyu had mocked and ridiculed her, she did not cry, nor did she cry when she was wronged and forced to leave in handcuffs.

However, the moment she saw him appear, her eyes suddenly turned red and filled with warm liquid.

At that moment, he walked calmly towards her with the wind and frost on his body. She felt that he was like a peerless hero who had saved a beauty when she was in trouble.

There was gratitude, but more importantly, she felt that it was a bit shameful. She originally thought that she could perfectly prove herself, but she didn't expect that there would be a problem.

Moreover, this problem also affected the Tang clan's reputation. Although she knew that she had never done it before, but what was the use?

She knew that the entire company was waiting for him to take charge of the situation, but he was just peacefully sleeping here. Chen Xi felt a bit helpless, and also felt a bit of heartache.

He said that she was in trouble, but he wasn't wrong. She didn't understand why the jewelry she purchased became a fake, and why the supervisory department received the report so quickly.

No one would believe him if he said there was no problem with it. Furthermore, there was a reporter present.

She lowered her head to look at his sleeping face. He had always been a very steady and measured person, yet today he was able to sleep here so calmly. She thought to herself, "He must have already guessed such a simple question. That's why he was able to sleep peacefully …"

Things would always pass. Besides, he was still here. Even if she couldn't reveal her identity, someone as smart as him would definitely guess.

Perhaps seeing through it was the way he loved her.

It was unknown when Chen Xi fell into a daze as well. No one had come to disturb them at the door that was locked.

At this moment, they had obtained a rare moment of peace and quiet. They all knew what awaited them when they woke up.

The media had exploded, the stocks had fallen, the people had lost all hope, and the reputation she had earned with all her effort …

It would all be ruined, but she didn't want to think about it now, she always believed.

Outside the door, it was already a huge commotion.

Ever since the company was tricked by fake jewelry yesterday, there were rumors that famous French designer Chen Xi took advantage of his position to buy fake jewelry in large quantities, reaping huge profits from it.

Furthermore, the matter was getting more and more intense, and was becoming harder to deal with. From morning to afternoon, there were more and more reports on Chen Xi …

They seduced their superiors and interacted with several men at the same time. Among them was the president of Rong family. More importantly, even Tony's existence was revealed later on. The French Chinese beauty designer had completely collapsed.
