When Lin Jia saw that the stalemate had lasted for so long and everyone was exhausted, she suggested, “Why don’t we take a break? We can make some changes to the points you mentioned just now!”

Fu Zhen put down his pen. “Then let’s take a 15-minute break!”

As he said that, he left the meeting room. As he walked out, Lin Jia followed him with her eyes. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Mr. Fu really lived up to his reputation! Even CEO Lin couldn’t gain any advantages over him!

Fu Zhen held his phone as he stood in front of the large French window in the lounge. Lin Jia walked over with a cup of coffee in her hand. “Aren’t you going to have a drink tonight?”

A few hours had passed since he sent Si Mi a message before the meeting. Si Mi didn’t reply to him. The man sighed and rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly. He was always a little restless today. “Forget it. Let’s get together again next time when Lin Nan comes back!”

Lin Jia was slightly disappointed when she heard that. “That’s fine too!”

Her feelings for Fu Zhen couldn’t disappear even if she tried her best!

Once it was past six o’clock, work ended on time. The crowd in the Fu Corporation’s magnificent office building came out. Si Mi arrived at the time when Fu Zhen got off work. It took her several hours to arrive from the set. There was even a traffic jam on the way!

In the underground parking lot, Si Mi put on her sunglasses and instructed, “Sister Lan, you can go back! I can go in alone!”

Lan Xin looked at her tired eyes and was helpless. “I’ll leave after I see you go in!”

Si Mi hopped out of the car and tidied her hair. She didn’t notice a figure flashing by not far away!

Coincidentally, she saw Fu Zhen walking out of the elevator. She quietly walked over!

Lin Jia followed behind Fu Zhen. Work was over, so she wasn’t as serious. Looking at Fu Zhen’s back, Lin Jia called out to him, “Senior!”

Fu Zhen turned around. Lin Jia took a step forward and hugged him gently. She paused for a few seconds. Hugging Fu Zhen, who had never belonged to her, Lin Jia asked, “Do I still have a chance?”

Lin Jia asked a question that she already knew the answer to.

Si Mi was five meters away. She saw that woman hugging Fu Zhen, and the sound transmission effect in the garage was very good. She heard it very clearly and stopped in her tracks. A gust of wind blew past her body and it was a little cold. When she rushed over, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt!

Fu Zhen was a little disgusted by Lin Jia’s actions. He reached out to push her away. Just as he was about to open his mouth, an exclamation came from behind. “Ah!”

Si Mi’s neck was grabbed by a man who rushed out from the corner. He held a knife in his hand. The light shone on it and it was cold. In an instant, Fu Zhen rushed to Si Mi. He was two steps away, but the man’s knife had already reached Si Mi’s neck!

“Stand there and don’t move, Mr. Fu!” Under the man’s extremely low cap, his eyes were cold!

Fu Zhen paused. “Let her go! Don’t do anything!”

“Mr. Fu! Your life is very relaxing! There are beauties around you!”

He glanced at Lin Jia, who was behind Fu Zhen, and smiled. “How great! Your wife just happened to catch you!”

This man was probably very familiar with his situation. Not only did he know about Si Mi’s relationship with him, but he was also able to sneak into the underground garage that no outsiders could enter!

“Who are you? Let her go first! If you have any requests, you can tell me!” Fu Zhen clenched his fists!

Seeing the man hook Si Mi’s neck with his elbow, retreat to a corner, and put the knife against her slender neck, Fu Zhen was almost scared out of his mind, and Si Mi’s face paled. The black sunglasses covered the fear in her eyes! However, the man’s panic was reflected in her eyes!

“You’re really forgetful! How long has it been, yet you’ve already forgotten?” The hatred in Fu Lei’s eyes deepened!

“Fu Lei!” Fu Zhen was shocked. “You’re not dead?”

“Second uncle! You still remember me?!” Fu Lei said as he moved closer to Si Mi. “Second aunt! Hahahaha!” He looked like he was going crazy! It was as if he had said a funny joke, and he couldn’t stop laughing!

Fu Lei was a junior in the Fu family’s side branch. His father had chosen the wrong side in the conflict between Fu Zhen and Old Master Fu. After Fu Zhen took over, he moved him to a subsidiary company in the suburbs. Some time ago, that small company had a major fire accident, and he was burned to death!

“Your father’s matter has been settled! Since you’re still alive, handle his funeral. What are you doing now?” Fu Zhen shouted!

“You call giving me a million or so settled ? My father is gone!” Fu Lei was so emotional that his hands actually started to tremble. “I also want to let you exprience the taste of losing a loved one!” As he said that, he sneered!

Fu Zhen looked at the blade that was pressed against Si Mi’s neck and his scalp went numb. He had never been this fast before as he rushed forward to grab the blade!

The temperature of the boiling blood would burn people!
