Lin Man sat on the sofa, the hands on the clock kept turning, and there was a violent storm outside the window.

Lin Man's heart was like a rose shattered in the rain, sinking a little bit. She paced around the living room, sat down, and called Pei Yan on the landline in the living room...

The phone was connected, and a noisy voice came, as if on the road.

"Pei Yan..."

"Ah."

Lin Man was thinking about her words, "It's raining." As she finished speaking, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck the sky, and the loud sound pierced the sky.

"Are you scared or do you miss me?" His voice was low, and the sound of raindrops splashed around him.

Lin Man was silent. "When will you be back?" She looked at the time on the clock. It was ten minutes to two. Pei Yan should be on his way now.

Pei Yan chuckled, but it made Lin Man feel a little creepy for no reason, "I'll go back now."

He said this without even giving Lin Man any chance to respond before hanging up the phone. The beeping sound mixed with the roar of lightning and thunder made Lin Man inexplicably anxious.

Are things going too smoothly...

Half an hour later, the engine sounded and the car window slowly rolled down. His face was as cold and hard as ever. The butler opened the door. Pei Yan was wearing a slim-fitting white shirt, simple and noble. Han Ming held an umbrella for him. The dim light mixed with the rain made his face unclear.

It was not until he came closer that Lin Man could see his expression clearly. His originally cold face suddenly showed a playful smile. He put his arm around Lin Man's waist and asked, "Are you scared?"

For some reason, Lin Man felt a little scared of Pei Yan's smile, "No, I'll go upstairs first." She was about to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the next moment, she was pulled back by a force.

"Haven't you been looking forward to my return? Why are you leaving just as I get back?" Pei Yan's lips curled up, but his eyes were cold.

He stared at her stubbornly and indifferently, with unclear meanings surging in his dark eyes.

"I..." Without waiting for Lin Man to speak.

Pei Yan chuckled, his dark eyes rolling, like the endless night outside the window, "You already knew about the contract."

His tone was certain.

Pei Yan's calm voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Man's heart, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms.

A piece of paper that looked familiar but made Lin Man's heart stagnate, "This is..."

"You forgot it so quickly?"

Of course she remembered! She had hidden it in her hair for the master herself! But why did it appear in Pei Yan's hands? Lin Man suddenly grabbed Pei Yan's wrist and asked, "What did you do to him?"

Pei Yan didn't say anything. He sat on the sofa indifferently and lit a cigarette. The smoke made it difficult to see his expression. Lin Man held his hand tightly and said in a heavier tone, "Pei Yan!"

As soon as he finished speaking... the next moment! Lin Man was suddenly turned over and pressed on the sofa, with her jaw held by a pair of hands. Pei Yan's hysterical calmness flashed a hint of heartache.

He looked at Lin Man and raised his hand to take out the letter she wrote to Ji Ze, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. If possible... go abroad as soon as possible and don't get involved in domestic disputes. I hope you are safe... and live happily with my wishes." He read out the contents of the letter, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

"You are two ungrateful wolves. It's really hard for you. You sleep in my bed while thinking about other men. I have to stop you."

Lin Man wanted to reach out and grab the letter back, but she struggled but couldn't move. "Pei Yan, calm down. I'm not trying to defend myself, but think about it carefully. Is there anything wrong with these letters?"

"Ji Ze is my friend, he has helped me before, I just don't want him to get involved in these things anymore, his life shouldn't be like this, moreover, I don't want him to attack the Pei family anymore, I advised him to leave and expressed my regards to him, is there anything wrong with that? Are there any ambiguous meanings between me and him in these words?!"

Hearing Lin Man's words, Pei Yan suddenly laughed, and his laugh was deep.

He slowly released the hands that were restraining Lin Man, stood up from the sofa and stared down at her.

The paper in my hand slowly turned over, and under the sunlight, the words on the paper were instantly visible!

"Ji Ze, the contract with Jiamei International is a cover! If you sign it, they will betray you immediately. The two assistants around you are undercover agents planted by Jiamei International so that you will not be suspicious during the company's review stage. You must not sign this contract! Don't worry about me."

"I'm fine... Stop worrying about me. If you can, leave as soon as possible... You deserve better. Also... Protect yourself. Even your mother has no right to treat you like this. Take care and don't worry."

Lin Man wrote down all the information she saw in the study that day on a piece of paper. To be on the safe side, she deliberately used another method. There was a line of words on the front of the paper, but if it was turned over, another line of words would soon appear.

Lin Man thought she had hidden it very well, but she didn't expect Pei Yan to see through her thoughts so easily.

"I did it, so what? Are you allowed to do these insidious things to others, but others are not allowed to fight back?" After the truth was revealed, Lin Man had nothing to defend herself.

When He Sheng came in, he heard these words. The documents in his hand instantly fell to the ground. His heart trembled, and he kept winking at Lin Man, signaling her to stop talking. But Lin Man had lost her mind at this time. With anger after being exposed, she turned a blind eye to He Sheng's reminder, and did not even think about why He Sheng appeared here?

"Pei Yan, you are really sinister. Ji Ze has nothing. His mother doesn't love him, and his father has left him. But what about you? You have so much, but his Ji family has gone bankrupt, and he only has one life left! You actually still refuse to let him go, with a hole of several hundred million! Do you want him to spend the rest of his life in prison? You have such a cruel heart!"

Lin Man looked like she had given up hope. She was tired from fighting against Pei Yan anyway, and she couldn't beat Pei Yan anyway, so why was she still struggling?

Pei Yan's calm black eyes were already extremely cold, and a storm was gradually brewing in his dark eyes, and it was about to come.

Lin Man raised her head stubbornly and looked straight at Pei Yan, ignoring all of He Sheng's expressions. She understood what He Sheng meant and knew that giving in at this moment would be in her best interest, but why! She refused!

Lin Man's gaze hurt Pei Yan. The anger in his eyes grew stronger, and his dark pupils gradually froze into frost, making people feel cold and frightened. Suddenly, his gaze returned to calm, and the sharp outline of the arc was tinged with a hint of alienation.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "Excellent."
