He was wearing a dark shirt and black suit trousers, both impeccably ironed with no traces of wrinkles at all. His sharp features and dark brows betrayed none of his emotions, but his aura was somewhat intimidating.

There was no need to ask any questions because it was obvious that they had interrupted whatever he was doing.

The manager was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

How coincidental was it that they ended up inspecting Huo Jingshen’s room?

Huo Jingshen – the eldest grandson of the richest man in Nanchang! The entire Huo family’s properties and assets would be his in the future!

Huo Jingshen was someone even his boss would have to refer to as ‘elder brother’. Although he had just returned to China, he was a reputable and influential figure that everyone in the circle knew.

However, the police officers did not know him, and one of them said firmly, “Sir, please take out your identity card and show it to me.”

Huo Jingshen simply stood there without moving, and eventually just slid both of his hands into his trouser pockets.

The police officer frowned. “Sir, please cooperate with us. Otherwise-”

“Ahh! No need. There is no need for all this.” Mo Weiyi hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation with a strained smile. “I am sorry, officer. This is my friend, and everyone knows who he is. Hurry up and check the next room instead.”

The manager was also quick to agree. “That’s right, this is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, please continue with whatever you were doing. I am really sorry for the interruption, truly I am…”

The police officer looked puzzled as he said slowly, “Miss Mo, I received an order from my superior that you were the one who reported a crime and said that there was someone who called for a-”

“Ahhh!” Mo Weiyi screamed suddenly before the police officer could finish his sentence. “What? What did he say? There is no issue here, it must be a mistake!”

She had been married for two years now, so Mo Weiyi had a lot of experience in ‘that area’. Huo Jingshen had not said anything at all, but how could any man possibly feel good after being interrupted during that kind of situation?

Even she felt a little embarrassed…

The police officer frowned but since the person who reported the incident had said as much, he could only nod his head as he turned around to leave.

“Eh, isn’t that Huo Jingshen?” Someone suddenly exclaimed.

“Who is Huo Jingshen?”

“You don’t know who Huo Jingshen is? He is the eldest young master of the Huo family who returned to China not too long ago. I heard that he came back to inherit the Huo Yuan Group.”

That one little pebble caused a thousand ripples, and the discussion suddenly became very lively.

“The heir of the Huo family is actually calling for a prostitute at Guidi? Seriously?”

“Wow, the people who come back from abroad are really different!”

“So he came to the city to play…”

“How exciting!”

“Wait! I want to take a picture!”

“I want to post a TikTok video!”

Mo Weiyi’s face was growing paler. She did not even dare to raise her head to look at Huo Jingshen’s face. Would he turn around and target the Mo Group after this? Would this incident end up affecting Xiaobai’s work?

Oh, she was in really big trouble this time…

“Miss Mo.” The man’s low voice suddenly sounded.

Mo Weiyi jumped slightly, startled, and trembled a little. After that, she turned around with a forced smile. “Mr. Huo.”

“What major did you study back in university?”

Mo Weiyi was a little confused by his question, but since he seemed to be waiting for her answer, she hesitantly replied, “Law.”

Although she was a bad student who would often skip class…

“So,” Huo Jingshen drawled, “Is there any law that states that I am not allowed to come here to spend time with my fiancée?”

The smile on Mo Weiyi’s face froze.

Fiancée?

“Miss Mo?” Huo Jingshen raised a brow.

Mo Weiyi hurriedly shook her head as she said, “No, there is no such law.”

Huo Jingshen’s eyes gleamed and his thin lips curved upwards in satisfaction as he said, “Wanwan drank a little too much just now and was not feeling too well, so I brought her here to rest. Since you are here now, Miss Mo, I will have to ask for your help to take care of her instead.”

Huo Jingshen stepped aside gracefully.

Mo Weiyi blinked, not thinking too much about it as she rushed into the room.

After a brief pause, Mo Weiyi’s surprised voice sounded from within the suite: “Wanwan! Wanwan, are you okay?”

***

There was a long silence in the corridor.

This was obviously a very messy situation.

Huo Jingshen simply stood there with his hands in his trouser pockets. His expression was indifferent but his chin was lifted slightly, as if daring anyone to object.

The manager heaved a huge sigh of relief as he tried to smooth things over. “I already said that this is all just a huge misunderstanding. Sorry, officers, for troubling you to come all the way here for nothing.”

The police officers were also glad to be called off work, so they took a few official statements before turning to leave.

“Officer Yang! Officer Yang!” Suddenly, a young police officer ran over and whispered something to another police officer.

The manager could not help but feel very nervous, an ominous feeling overwhelming him.

Officer Yang scowled and barked out, “I want everyone to follow me to the fourth floor now!”
