Below, at the foot of the Tong Le family's building, Tong Le stepped out to head to work. On her way to the parking spot, a blue sports car suddenly screeched to a halt right in front of her, mere inches away from her feet.
Tong Le's heart raced as the driver emerged from the vehicle—it was Hou Yi. Surprisingly, she felt no fear. For some reason, in her mind, Hou Yi resembled someone who had just escaped from a mental institution. While everyone else feared him, he had become just another label in her life.
With a resigned expression, Tong Le wondered what trick Hou Yi was up to this time. Before she could say anything, he yanked her bag away and rummaged through it until he pulled out her phone.
He tried a couple of times to unlock the screen but failed; the password was incorrect. Tong Le reached out to snatch it back, but his height and long arms made it impossible for her.
"Are you seriously robbing me in broad daylight? Do you think the police station is your home?" she shouted.
Dressed in a light gray tracksuit, Hou Yi held her phone high above his head and demanded, "What’s the unlock code? I’m not asking for much—just take me off your blacklist."
Tong Le stared at him as if he were foolish. Was this really worth coming all the way downstairs? All because of a blacklist?
"Come on, hurry up! Don’t make me angry," he urged impatiently.
She found him annoying; encountering a lunatic first thing in the morning was not ideal. As she instinctively glanced at his legs, she couldn’t help but wonder how quickly he had recovered. Not long ago, he had been in a cast, and now here he was, driving around!
Recalling how he had injured his leg, she decided to kick it lightly—not too hard, just enough to make him wince without risking re-injury.
Tong Le felt no guilt; after all, it was Hou Yi who had forced her hand. Besides, she was his savior—kicking him once hardly seemed immoral.
The kick caught Hou Yi completely off guard. His handsome face flushed with pain—oh, how it hurt! Although the cast was off, his wound hadn’t fully healed yet. He had insisted on having it removed early so he could show off in front of Tong Le!
Now he regretted that decision! If it weren’t for his other leg still being fine, he would have been on both knees begging for mercy right then and there!
Kneeling on one knee and unable to lift his head due to the pain, he felt like killing Tong Le! For the first time ever, a woman had him at her mercy. No one had ever dared defy him like this or attack him to his face!
As Hou Yi knelt there in agony, Tong Le casually reclaimed her phone. Had she known it would be this easy, she wouldn’t have bothered shouting—it felt like a waste of energy.
Waving her phone playfully, she smiled and warned him not to let it happen again or she would call the police!
Turning to get into her car, she suddenly remembered to add, "If you dare come looking for me again without permission, I’ll accuse you of trespassing. And by the way, since you’re awake now and have revised your quote, I doubt Ke Jie will want to collaborate with you anymore. We’re even."
As she got into her car and started the engine, she intentionally honked twice—the sound echoing like a victory trumpet in Hou Yi's ears.
After Tong Le left, Hou Yi remained half-kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up. He felt pain deep within his bones; though not fatal, it wounded his pride significantly!
He pulled out his phone and called one of his subordinates. When the call connected, Hou Yi vented his frustration: "I don’t care what method you use; make sure Tongshan Real Estate and Ke Jie sign that cooperation contract! Give them the market price on the quote! This deal must go through! If Ke Jie dares refuse—kill him!"
Tong Le first went to Tongshan Real Estate, where she organized various documents before heading to Zong Group. Instead of looking for Zong Zeyu, she directly approached the project manager. After over an hour of discussions and verifications, Tong Le took a brief break and went to the restroom.
As she passed through the lobby, she noticed it was particularly lively. Drawn by the sounds, she looked through the glass doors and saw Lan Qingqing, beaming with joy, alongside a man posing as her husband. Tong Le couldn't help but marvel at how quickly Lan Qingqing moved on. She wondered where this actor had come from; surely, in Lan Qingqing's words, he had transformed into a big boss of some listed company or an heir of a large group. After all, when out in public, one's identity is self-defined.
Lan Qingqing was a master at spinning tales, especially those that were far-fetched. At that moment, she spotted Tong Le standing at the entrance and waved excitedly. "Lele! Come here! I want to introduce you to my husband!"
Just as Tong Le was about to step inside, a familiar figure darted out from behind her—Wu Youyou. How could such a scene be complete without Wu Youyou? As soon as she heard that Lan Qingqing had brought her "husband," she rushed over without hesitation.
As Wu Youyou passed by Tong Le, she whispered with excitement, "Tong Le Jie, the grand show of debunking is about to begin!"
