Liu Ergou noticed the security guards' expressions and imdiately snorted. "You guys seem pretty nosy. I just wonder if your salaries can support that habit! If they can, gossip all you want. But if not, I suggest you get back to work! Stop snooping around here!"
As soon as he spoke, the security guards' faces stiffened. Then, in unison, they turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen a thing as they returned to their posts.
Two guards, however, stayed behind to help Liu Ergou carry Ning Hua to the office on the top floor. Once inside, Liu Ergou collapsed onto the sofa, gasping for air. At that mont, Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear, who were handling company affairs, noticed his disheveled appearance. They rushed to his side, checking on him with worried expressions.
"Er Gou, what happened to you?" Lu Shuangyue asked with concern.
"Yeah, you were only gone for half an hour. How did you end up like this? Look at you, you're covered in blood!" Orange Bear said, gently rubbing his chest. She was on the verge of tears by the ti she finished speaking.
Seeing their expressions, Liu Ergou reached out and pulled them into an embrace, patting them gently. He then explained, "Sigh, I don't know what happened either. I just went downstairs and ran into a crazy woman who chased down and beat up. The most ssed-up part is that I couldn't even beat her!"
As he spoke, he jerked his chin toward Ning Hua on the floor. Only then did the two won notice her lying unconscious on the ground.
Orange Bear spat toward Ning Hua. "This woman is seriously sick! She must have escaped from a ntal hospital!" she said with disgust.
However, Lu Shuangyue didn't echo her sentint. Instead, she silently found a chair and helped the unconscious Ning Hua into it. She then turned, rummaged under the desk, and surprisingly pulled out a roll of iron wire. She promptly used the wire to bind Ning Hua securely to the chair.
After she finished, Lu Shuangyue's voice turned cold. "Who on earth could send soone from the Ancient Martial Sects to assassinate you, Er Gou!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Huh? The Ancient Martial Sects?" he asked, looking at Lu Shuangyue in confusion.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Lu Shuangyue explained, "The Ancient Martial Sects are comprised of people with martial arts skills. They have their own circles that ordinary people know nothing about!"
Liu Ergou had a sudden realization. "Oh! No wonder I couldn't beat her! And here I thought I'd just gotten weak!"
Lu Shuangyue smiled helplessly at his words. "Of course you can't beat them. So from the Ancient Martial Sects practice external styles, while others cultivate internal arts. External styles are considered the lesser path, while internal arts are supre. As for which sect this woman belongs to, I have no idea. If you want to know, you'll have to ask her yourself!"
From Lu Shuangyue's explanation, Liu Ergou got the general idea. He then turned his gaze to the tightly bound Ning Hua. A question suddenly popped into his mind.
"Um, Shuang Yue, can you tell where you got this iron wire?" he asked. "What chairman's office has a roll of wire lying around? Especially in a live-streaming company. Don't you think that's a bit ridiculous?"
Seeing Liu Ergou's shocked expression, Lu Shuangyue burst out laughing. "Hahaha! What's so ridiculous about it?" she said with a laugh. "It's just so leftover material from when Orange's company was renovated. He just tossed it into the bottom drawer of his desk. I just happened to find it while I was looking around."
Understanding where the wire ca from, Liu Ergou finally stood up. He poured a glass of cold water from the desk and splashed it directly onto the woman's face. The splash of water instantly roused Ning Hua from her unconscious state.
Seeing she was awake, Liu Ergou didn't waste any ti. "I'll ask you, why did you attack ? Did soone send you to assassinate ?"
However, Ning Hua just sat there quietly, remaining completely silent after hearing his questions. She didn't even deign to look at him.
This infuriated Liu Ergou. "You think I won't find out just because you're silent!" he said angrily. "Even if you play mute today, I'll still get what I want to know! I'm asking you, was it Yuan Wenkang who sent you? If it wasn't Yuan Wenkang, then it must be Sun Gang!"
At these words, the previously expressionless Ning Hua's pupils contracted sharply, though she recovered in an instant. The reaction was fleeting, but Liu Ergou noticed it: her pupils shrank when he ntioned Sun Gang.
That ans Sun Gang sent her. Of course, this matter is undoubtedly connected to Yuan Wenkang as well. Those two are allies now, so it was unrealistic to think this was the work of just one of them.
Having figured out who had sent Ning Hua to assassinate him, Liu Ergou relaxed considerably. He then asked, "What's your na? What sect do you belong to in the Ancient Martial Sects? Do you practice internal or external arts?"
After this barrage of questions, Ning Hua still gave no reaction.
This pushed Liu Ergou over the edge. "Fine, fine, fine! So you're playing tough, are you? I'd like to see how long you can keep that up. If you can still keep your mouth shut after this, I'll be impressed!"
After speaking, an inscrutable smile spread across Liu Ergou's face. He then stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and strode toward Ning Hua. Seeing his deanor, Ning Hua sensed that sothing was terribly wrong.
But Liu Ergou gave her no chance to speak. He grabbed her white shirt and, with a sharp RRRIP, tore it open, leaving it in tattered strips. The next second, Liu Ergou's eyes widened in surprise.
He saw that underneath the white shirt, she was wearing nothing at all. Needless to say, Liu Ergou now had an unobstructed view of the magnificent sight before him.
It was only then that Ning Hua finally spoke, her voice filled with rage. "You shaless lecher! I can't believe the esteed Xuanyuan Family could produce soone like you! Pah!"
Ning Hua's words made Liu Ergou's brain freeze.
Xuanyuan Family? This is the second ti she's ntioned that family. But what I don't understand is... I have no connection to the Xuanyuan Family at all.
