Several home-cooked side dishes were almost eaten by Huo Ke. Although the taste was not as good as that of the chef, it was enough to show the man's support.

Although Rong Lingshan was not moved at all, she still showed a shy smile to Huo Ke and offered to wash the dishes, but Huo Ke refused.

The man held Rong Lingshan's shoulders without question and pushed the woman towards the living room step by step.

"You have been working for me for so long, so it's time for you to take a break. Let me do the washing up."

Both of them knew that there was a special dishwasher in the kitchen, but they still resisted.

Rong Lingshan's nerves were tense and she controlled her eyes not to look in the direction of the plan. In the end, she couldn't resist Huo Ke's persistence and could only go back to the living room step by step.

Rong Lingshan's expression in the living room turned completely cold. The cup in her hand squeaked loudly, and her cold eyes stared directly in the direction of the restaurant.

No, you can't pass it, it would be too easy to arouse suspicion.

Rong Lingshan closed her eyes and kept comforting herself in her heart. The previous plans were going so smoothly. It made no sense for her to overturn at this critical moment.

The sound of water, the sound of taking plates...

Even without seeing it with her own eyes, Rong Lingshan could still imagine Huo Ke busy in the kitchen.

As the sounds in the kitchen became quieter and quieter, Rong Lingshan's violently beating heart gradually calmed down. As expected, he had not discovered the plan!

Da da da.

The heavy footsteps belonging to a man sounded, and Rong Lingshan slowly opened her eyes. She tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart. Just when she was about to say something to Huo Ke, she saw Huo Ke holding a few pieces of white paper tightly in his hand, with an expression on his face. It's cloudy or sunny.

There were still drops of water splashing on his body.

"Huo Ke?"

Rong Lingshan said in a daze, a strong sense of foreboding enveloped her. The woman couldn't help curling up her limbs, staring at the man in front of her stiffly and vigilantly.

"Lingshan, am I not good enough for you?" A ghost-like voice came out of Huo Ke's mouth.

Rong Lingshan was so frightened that she trembled all over and explained quickly.

"Huo Ke, listen to me, things are not what you see. The plan in your hand is the evidence I sent people to find!"

The hair on Rong Lingshan's body stood up, her face was full of fear, mixed with a barely calm expression, her charming face was ruined by various emotions, and it had no trace of its usual beauty.

"Oh?" Huo Ke responded coldly, as if he still wanted to hear Rong Lingshan's explanation.

This gave Rong Lingshan a glimmer of hope. In order for the follow-up plan to go smoothly and to temporarily stabilize Huo Ke, she put on a twisted, flattering smile and racked her brains to make up lies.

"I have asked the master to identify it. The handwriting on this is Qiao Yuyue's! It can be used as key evidence!" Rong Lingshan gasped for breath, her head was in chaos, but she still said calmly and instinctively, "The reason why I didn’t tell you about this because I found out that the plan slandered you!”

She softened her body, walked to Huo Ke, and stretched out her hand to hold the man, but he dodged him.

"Think about it, if I hand over this plan as evidence, wouldn't it harm you? I don't want anything to happen to you, so naturally I have to find a way before handing over the evidence..."

Halfway through the woman's gentle explanation, she was interrupted impatiently by Huo Ke, whose eyes were filled with suspicion and anger.

"What are you trying to do? What can you do?!" He roared angrily, "If these evidences are handed over, not only Qiao Yuyue will be finished, but I will be finished too! You..."

The man suddenly looked at Rong Lingshan with extremely suspicious eyes.

"The part about me in this plan is very detailed and definitely not something Qiao Yuyue can find. Could it be that you betrayed me!"

Rong Lingshan's heart thumped, and she suddenly turned cold, "Huo Ke, you didn't do this in the first place, so why betray it? You clearly know that I am at odds with Qiao Yuyue, why should I help her? Besides, , the handwriting on the plan belongs to Qiao Yuyue..."

She slowly smiled a vicious smile like a poisonous snake, and poured dirty water on Qiao Yuyue again.

"Why can't that woman deliberately write this in the plan in order to get away with it? In this way, even if she is caught, she can be dragged into the water!"

Hearing this, Huo Ke was stunned. He clutched the pieces of paper stupidly and said nothing for a while.

Rong Lingshan didn't give Huo Ke a chance to think. She stepped forward and pulled out the plans, hoping to comfort the man with a few words.

But as soon as she got close to Huo Ke, Rong Lingshan felt a pair of big hands pinch her neck without hesitation. A feeling of suffocation lingered in her neck. Rong Lingshan looked at the gloomy Huo Ke in front of her in disbelief.

"You lied to me!" the man roared.

"When I was investigating Mrs. Li's fall into the water, I read your email. Wu Pingtian is the master of forgery, right? You contacted him probably not to verify the authenticity of the handwriting, but to forge this evidence!"

Huo Ke leaned close to Rong Lingshan's ear. The more he spoke, the stronger his hand became, and Rong Lingshan could only make a hoarse sound from her throat.

"I don't understand. I've been so good to you, why do you want to frame me? You want me to go to jail! Rong Lingshan, how can you be so cruel!"

Huo Ke's expression was painful and desperate. He actually cried out in his excitement. He strangled Rong Lingshan's neck regardless, trying to teach the woman a lesson.

"I've done so many things for you. You said you wanted to travel, and I stayed with you every step of the way. Whatever you wanted to buy, I willingly paid for it. Even because of my guilt for you, I didn't even want to develop in the country. All plans have been abandoned!”

The man's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice, "How in the world am I sorry for you?!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Ke suddenly released his hands.

Rong Lingshan gasped for breath, her eyes flashed with white light, and she felt like she was about to be strangled to death by Huo Ke.

"Because, because..." The woman's voice was hoarse and weak, but it was extremely obvious in the silent living room.

Huo Ke's chest heaved with excitement. He grabbed Rong Lingshan's arms and pushed the woman down on the sofa like a dog. He put his ear next to Rong Lingshan's mouth, eager to hear the woman's reasons.

"Because you are stupid! You are just a fool! You only deserve to be used by me, and you only deserve to be my dog!"

Rong Lingshan didn't know where she got the strength, she suddenly burst out and slapped Huo Ke on the face.

Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there were purple marks on her neck where someone had pinched her, but her face was filled with arrogance.

Rong Lingshan understood that in the current situation, she should show weakness and stabilize Huo Ke.
