Huo Xiaoran said, “We’ll have an answer soon.” He waved at the thugs and said arrogantly, “Bring her back and interrogate her slowly.”

Qiao An was stuffed into the back seat of the BMW. Two strong and burly thugs sat on either side of her, their eagle eyes staring at her.

Qiao An knew that she could not escape. She sat obediently.

Huo Xiaoran drove on the spotless street. The pattering rain slowly turned into heavy rain. Qiao An looked at the windshield wipers repeatedly and felt especially depressed.

She didn’t know how long Huo Xiaoran would detain her. She still had three children at home, so she was very anxious.

“What do you want?” Qiao An couldn’t hold it in anymore. She glared at Huo Xiaoran angrily.

However, Huo Xiaoran drove calmly and turned a deaf ear to her words.

It was Lu Mo who turned around and glanced at her. “Tell me the companies you sold the formula to. How much did you get?”

Qiao An ignored Lu Mo and glared at Huo Xiaoran angrily.

This made the arrogant Lu Mo very unhappy. She was the future wife of the CEO, but this little assistant had looked down on her several times.

“Huo Xiaoran… are you mute?” Qiao An roared angrily.

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

No woman had ever dared to speak to Huo Xiaoran with such an arrogant attitude. No wonder she didn’t care about her.

Huo Xiaoran slowly drove to the Angel Group and they escorted Qiao An to the CEO’s office. Lu Mo eagerly poured Huo Xiaoran a cup of hot water.

Huo Xiaoran sat on the chair elegantly, his eagle eyes locked on Qiao An’s angry face.

“Chen Sisi, why did you approach me?” Huo Xiaoran asked coldly.

Qiao An looked at him suspiciously. This guy was indeed meticulous. He had noticed her ulterior motive so quickly.

Fortunately, he hadn’t recognized her yet.

Qiao An argued, “CEO Huo is really forgetful. I remember telling CEO Huo the day I came for the interview that I love CEO Huo and want to learn some valuable experience from him.”

The teacup in Lu Mo’s hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, shattering into glass shards.

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran looked at her in confusion, and Lu Mo’s panic overflowed.

Qiao An smiled. Lu Mo had clearly heard her say that she liked Huo Xiaoran and was nervous.

The speaker did not mean it, but the bystander did.

Huo Xiaoran’s gaze shifted back to Qiao An and she smiled coldly. “You like me? You like me so much that you stole my formula to flatter other men?”

With that, Huo Xiaoran took out a stack of photos from the drawer and threw them at Qiao An.

The photo showed when she handed the formula to Jason.

Qiao An’s eyes widened. “You actually sent someone to follow me?”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “I don’t have such a hobby.”

Qiao An was extremely shocked. If it wasn’t Huo Xiaoran, who else could it be?

Huo Xiaoran lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. The smoke curled up, making his handsome face look especially mysterious. His deep eyes looked even more wise.

“Chen Sisi, what else do you have to say?”

Qiao An knew that she would not be able to escape this calamity, so she went all out.

“That’s right. I gave the formula to Jason. But wasn’t this personally instructed by you, CEO?” Qiao An’s greatest point was that she didn’t accept Jason’s money, so it was easy for her to transfer her guilt to someone else.

Huo Xiaoran’s thin lips curled into a teasing smile. “You’re smart.”

He picked up the remote again and turned on the projection screen.

Then she saw Jason kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. Qiao An’s pupils constricted. Her heart ached for her savior.

The next moment, Jason gave Qiao An up.

“CEO Huo’s assistant, Chen Sisi, leaked the formula to me.”

He used the word “leak.” Qiao An’s body went limp.

Huo Xiaoran turned off the video and glared at Qiao An. “What else do you have to say?”

Qiao An’s eyes were scarlet. Jason was covered in blood, overlapping with her car accident. Qiao An’s hatred for Huo Xiaoran instantly swelled.

“Huo Xiaoran, you will suffer retribution.” She gritted her teeth and cursed.

“You have evil intentions and are hypocritical and cunning. You will definitely be abandoned by everyone in this life. You will die alone.”

Her curse tore at Huo Xiaoran’s heart. What he feared the most in his life was to die alone. And Qiao An had ignited Huo Xiaoran’s anger.

He stood up abruptly, picked up the hot water in front of him, and splashed it angrily on Qiao An’s face.

“Chen Sisi, wake up. You’re the one who did something immoral. You should be the one receiving retribution.”

The temperature of the hot water wasn’t too low, and it moistened most of Qiao An’s face. Water flowed down from her eyebrows and washed half her face.

Qiao An raised her hand and wiped the water off her face. She roared at Huo Xiaoran hysterically, “The heavens are watching. Huo Xiaoran, don’t think that you can bully good people just because you have some money…”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An’s messy face. Her face that had been washed by hot water had already revealed her fair skin, and her red lips revealed her original outline. It was a pair of seductive red lips.

The eye shadow spread out, but at the center of the panda eyes was a pair of charming phoenix eyes.

Huo Xiaoran stared blankly at Qiao An, and his scolding turned into nothingness.

Lu Mo realized that something was wrong with Huo Xiaoran and glanced at Qiao An.

When she saw Qiao An’s face, which should have been very funny, she couldn’t smile.

Because that face was clearly Qiao An’s face.

Even though her eyes were slightly different, people could still recognize her at a glance. She was Qiao An.

Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran fearfully.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with a gaze that went from anger to shock, helplessness, and a hint of doting.

After a long time, Huo Xiaoran came back to his senses and sighed helplessly. “Do you hate me that much?”

Qiao An was slightly stunned.

Seeing the makeup on the back of her hand, she instantly understood that her makeup was smudged. He must have recognized her.

“Shouldn’t I hate you?” She was indignant.

No matter how ruthless Huo Xiaoran was, he couldn’t be ruthless in front of Qiao An because three years ago, he was the one who bullied Qiao An.

Huo Xiaoran waved at the others. “You guys go out.”

The bodyguards and Lu Mo left.

Huo Xiaoran walked down from above, took a wet tissue, and came to Qiao An. When he raised his hand to wipe her face, Qiao An pushed his hand away and said angrily, “Don’t touch me. I think you’re dirty.”
