King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Red Man..."

Seeing Hongman again filled me with excitement...

After she rescued Zhao Xue from the underground palace of Qinglong Residence, I thought she had been hidden away by Song Huazhao, but I never expected to see her here.

"Young Master...you're too naughty!"

Hongman walked over and sighed softly, her expression a helpless, ambiguous smile: "Second Miss told me to keep an eye on you, so you won't dare to act so recklessly again!"

"Well......"

I swallowed awkwardly, then smiled and said, "I understand. So... how did Second Sister handle it? I mean..."

Before I could finish speaking, Hongman raised her hand to interrupt me, saying, "Young Master, don't ask questions you shouldn't! Second Miss said you should just obediently wait for the wedding tomorrow, and don't worry about anything else!"

Lin Yue knew Hong Man was her bodyguard, so seeing her now... she could only offer a polite, awkward smile.

"Manager Lin..."

Hongman said to Lin Yue with a serious expression, "The second young lady said that from now on... you can report directly to me about matters related to food and daily life, and you don't need to contact the young master anymore."

"Ah! This...?"

Upon hearing Hongman's words, Lin Yue glanced at me nervously, then frowned and lowered her head.

It's obvious...

Song Huazhao no longer trusts Lin Yue. He sent Hongman here to monitor me from every angle and prevent me from causing any more trouble!

When Hongman came back this time, I could clearly feel that her aura was different... The way she looked at me was cold and icy, as if she were a robot.

Seeing that Hongman was staring at her, Lin Yue felt embarrassed. She shifted her position, stood up, and slunk away from my room.

After Lin Yue left, I asked Hongman with concern, "Hongman...are you alright? Last time...I heard you were injured after coming out of the Qinglong Residence underground palace...and what about Zhao Xue? How is she?"

"Young Master!"

Hongman looked at me seriously and said, "Young Master! I told you... the Second Miss instructed that you shouldn't think about anything now, just obediently wait for the wedding tomorrow!"

After saying that, she sat down on the single sofa, crossed her legs, and took out her phone and cigarettes... and lit one, starting to smoke.

"Hiss~! Red Man!"

I sighed and said, "I know... you have your difficulties, and your second sister must have given you trouble! But you don't need to be so distant with me, do you? You're sitting next to me like a proctor, not saying a word!"

"What do you want to say?" Hongman frowned as she looked at me.

"Uh...uh..."

I said awkwardly, "I was just concerned about you and wanted to know... how's your injury? Is it serious?"

"Oh!"

Hongman sneered, "Young Master! I'm your bodyguard. If my injuries were truly serious, would I still be sitting here in front of you right now?"

"Oh, that's good! That's good! Hongman, how have you been these past few days, eldest sister?"

Hongman ignored me, only frowning and nodding...

I think I've figured it out!

Now, not only am I in the "exam room," but she is too. Song Huazhao is constantly monitoring us...

I kept asking her questions and talking to her, which was actually creating trouble for her!

However, Hongman is back by my side after all... Even if she doesn't say anything, I feel at ease!

After all, she was a woman with whom he had a close relationship...

I'm already content that they can always be with me!

"Oh well!"

I chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Do as you please, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a bit... I just had a little to drink, and I'm a bit dizzy!"

Hongman ignored me, but after I went inside, she followed me in...

"Hongman? You...?"

"You go to sleep!"

Hongman looked at me calmly and said seriously, "The Second Miss said you are not allowed to leave my sight!"

After saying that, she sat down on the sofa in the master bedroom and continued playing on her phone!

"Oh! Alright then!"

I sat down on the double bed with a wry smile and said, "What about tonight? Tonight... you'll be here watching me too? Hu Zhaohua might be back in a bit; that woman's rather petty!"

"Young Master!"

Hongman looked at me coldly, and said thoughtfully, "The Second Miss will handle things clearly with Hu Zhaohua! You don't need to worry about it!"

"Oh, that's good!"

Now that things have come to this point, what else can I say?

The air in the room was oppressive and stifling, just like being in prison...

Before, although I was also trapped here, at least I could chat with Lin Yue and had some autonomy!

Now look at me, Hongman is watching me like a wooden doll, not daring to say a single unnecessary word!

Lin Yue was also driven away by her, and I'm truly all alone now!

However... when I saw Hongman again, images of our intimate moments involuntarily surfaced in my mind!

This is the inherent weakness of men!

As a writer once said, a woman... once she has slept with a man, she is always naked in front of that man.

Although Song Huazhao restricted my freedom, even my speech... I don't think she restricted that aspect, right?

If I make that kind of request to Hongman now, she probably won't refuse, right?

However, this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment...

At this critical juncture, I'm going to cause trouble for Hongman!

"Red Man..."

I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, and said meaningfully, "To be honest, I really miss you!"

Hongman remained silent and continued playing with her phone.

"Red Man..."

I paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, in my heart..."

"Young Master!"

Hongman interrupted me directly: "Don't think that just because we slept together, you can treat me like any other woman... I'm not your mistress. We were just... mutually benefiting, I've told you that! You're getting married tomorrow, you should settle down and stop thinking about irrelevant things!"

"Oh!"

I smiled wryly and said, "I don't know how my second sister has made things difficult for you, forcing you to... now you're like a robot! Actually, it didn't have to be like this at all..."

"The second young lady didn't make things difficult for me! Nor did she force me."

Hongman calmly replied, "She just assigned me a mission: to protect you forever!"

"Protect me forever?"

I frowned slightly, sat up, and asked meaningfully, "What does 'eternal protection' mean?"

"The literal meaning!"

Hongman said calmly, "You're a graduate student, and you don't even understand this?"

"puff!"

I lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and chuckled, "So that means... you'll always be by my side?"

Hongman frowned slightly and ignored me...

Feeling bored, I just stubbed out my cigarette, intending to take a nap, when the living room door was pushed open, and the hurried sound of high heels entered...

I recognized it; it was Hu Zhaohua's footsteps!

"Husband! Husband!"

Hu Zhaohua pushed open the door and saw Hongman there. He was taken aback at first, then eagerly told me, "Something's happened! Qi Yue'er was hit by a car..."

Upon hearing this, my head went "buzz"!

"What...what? She was hit by a car?"

I stared at Hu Zhaohua in shock: "When did this happen?"

"Just now!"

Hu Zhaohua said with a horrified expression, "Didn't I go to Huayu with my brother? My dad went with us too... Then I received a call from the hospital saying that Qi Yue'er had been hit by a car, lost her baby, and broke her leg..."

"this......"

I looked at Hongman in shock, my heart pounding wildly!

Could this be the work of Song Huazhao?

Is this how she handled the matter so urgently?

That shouldn't be happening!

Although my second sister is used to doing things by any means necessary to achieve her goals!

But... there are clearly better options! There's no need to be so extreme!

She could have easily done what she did with Xu Meiling... called Qi Yue'er away, then appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her to make her her dog, working for the Song family!

There's no need to just send a car to run her over!

"Honey! You didn't see it!"

Hu Zhaohua said excitedly, "My dad's face was so ugly back then, humph! He wasn't even this anxious when my mom died..."

"No one was killed, was there?" I asked, frowning.

"I don't know, I don't think so!"

Hu Zhaohua said excitedly, "My dad received a call from the hospital. They said a family member needed to come over because they were trying to save the baby, but they thought it was unlikely!"

"Hiss~!"

I frowned and pondered the matter carefully, and another "processing version" emerged in my mind: Qi Yue'er was in a car accident and went to the hospital for emergency treatment. According to the hospital's emergency treatment procedure, the doctor would definitely need to perform a blood test before performing surgery on her!

Doctors, as healthcare workers, actually face both hardship and danger... because they have no idea about the patient's background. To prevent doctors from accidentally contracting infectious diseases during the rescue process, everyone who goes to the hospital for surgery must undergo a seven-item infectious disease test!

Then... Qi Yue'er's secret will be exposed, won't it?

So... wouldn't the Hu family's thunder be equivalent to detonating as well?

this......?

Could this also be Song Huazhao's idea?

I can't believe it!

My gut feeling tells me this is impossible... My second sister shouldn't be that stupid!

Poor Qi Yue'er, she originally wanted to escape... but not only did she fail to get away, this happened instead, a double misfortune!

I can't even imagine what Hu Jinhu's feelings will be when he goes to the hospital and finds out that his wife is infected with that disease.

I can't even imagine... what will this woman say when Hu Jinhu questions Qi Yue'er about what happened and why she has this disease?

What if, like Lin Yue feared, they just poured dirty water on my head?
