Chapter 7 You Are Not Allowed To Hurt Her
- A limited-edition Rolls-Royce was speeding along the road in the rain.
- “Boss, where are we going?” Lu Yi asked respectfully.
- “Back to Yuwan Villa,” Lu Zhanting replied in a frosty tone.
- Lu Zhanting leaned back and rested with his eyes closed.
- Squeak.
- The car came to a sudden halt. Lu Zhanting stared at Lu Yi with a face full of annoyance.
- “What’s going on?” Lu Zhanting demanded in a cold voice.
- “So sorry, boss. A girl has fainted on the road in front of us,” Lu Yi answered submissively with his head held low.
- Lu Zhanting’s brows creased impatiently when he heard Lu Yi. “Get out of the car to check on her. If she is still alive, call for an ambulance.”
- “Yes,” Lu Yi said respectfully.
- With an umbrella, Lu Yi opened the door and alighted from the car.
- The rain was pelting down very heavily. A large part of Lu Yi’s clothes were wet despite having an umbrella.
- Lu Yi squatted down to turn the fainted girl over. He was shocked when he saw the face of the girl.
- “Didn’t boss ask me to investigate her today?” Lu Yi mumbled to himself.
- After giving it a thought, he stood up and reported what he saw to Lu Zhanting.
- Lu Zhanting rolled down the window after several knocks by Lu Yi.
- “Boss, the girl looks like the person I was assigned by you to investigate...”
- Lu Zhanting had disappeared from the car even before Lu Yi had finished speaking.
- He turned his head to find that his boss was already standing by the girl’s side.
- He scurried over and held the umbrella over Lu Zhanting.
- Lu Zhanting held Mu Xitong up. He had turned into a nervous wreck.
- “Xitong, wake up. Please wake up,” Lu Zhangting shouted.
- Lu Yi was shocked to see that his boss was holding a woman with a face filled with gentleness.
- “Come over with the umbrella now!” Lu Zhanting demanded with a loud voice.
- With a jerk, Lu Yi rushed over to his side with the umbrella.
- “Hold the umbrella over her.” Lu Zhanting’s face was looking grim.
- “Boss, you are injured,” Lu Yi reminded with a worried tone.
- Upon hearing this, Lu Zhanting’s attractive eyes became murderous at once. At the sight of this, Lu Yi acceded to his instruction immediately.
- Lu Zhanting carried Mu Xitong in his arms and climbed into his car.
- “Get moving and be at Yuwan Villa in ten minutes,” he demanded icily.
- Lu Yi stepped on the gas pedal all the way to the floor.
- Lu Zhanting reached out to switch the heater on.
- After that, he fished out his phone and dialed a number.
- “Du Shaoheng, be at Yuwan Villa in ten minutes. Otherwise, you will be trapped in Africa for the rest of your life,” he threatened loudly.
- He hung up and stared at Mu Xitong, who was in his arms.
- Although one could not see his expression, his eyes were filled with distress.
- Du Shaoheng, who Lu Zhanting had just hung up on, was in the middle of enjoying the company of one of his girlfriends.
- “Shaoheng, what’s going on?” The girl in his arms asked in a sweet voice.
- Du Shaoheng had jumped out of the bed and got dressed at once after Lu Zhanting’s call.
- He would have to stay in Africa for the rest of his life if he was late.
- As he was about to leave, the girl grabbed one of his arms in an attempt to convince him to stay.
- He shook off her hold nastily as he was not in the mood.
- “Get out of here after I leave.” With that, he flung a credit card at her and left hastily.
- In his world, women were just tools to fulfil his sexual needs. Every single one of them only got near him for his money, power or his beautiful face.
- When Lu Zhanting reached Yuwan Villa, it was raining even more heavily than before.
- He carried Mu Xitong in his arms and rushed inside.
- “Uncle Jin, please ask Aunt Zhang to make a bowl of ginger soup,” Lu Zhanting ordered loudly.
- As soon as he appeared with Mu Xitong, everyone in the villa was taken aback.
- Their boss had never brought a woman home, not to mention bringing one back in his arms.
- Without hesitation, Uncle Jin conveyed the boss’s order to Aunt Zhang. He had plenty of chances to probe further in the future.
- Lu Zhanting carried Mu Xitong to his room.
- His room was spacious and the interior was designed with the theme of alternating blacks and whites. Because of this, the room gave out a forlorn and desolate air. It was a perfect match for his personality.
- He placed Mu Xitong carefully on the bed and covered her with the blanket.
- As Lu Yi observed his boss’s every movement, he looked so shocked as though he had just seen blood rain.
- Who would be able to tell him why his boss, who was a clean freak and hated women, was behaving like this toward this girl?
- “Why isn’t Du Shaoheng here yet?!” he howled.
- “I am here, I am here...” With his disheveled hair, Du Shaoheng scrambled into his room, trying to catch his breath. There was a medical kit in his hand.
- “Check if she is having a fever,” Lu Zhanting ordered icily.
- Du Shaoheng’s eyes almost popped out when he walked to the side of the bed.
- He was already shocked to see Lu Zhanting with a file on a girl this morning. Now, he had even brought the girl back to his villa. It was unbelievable.
- Lu Zhanting gave Du Shaoheng a kick impatiently as he was not moving.
- “Damn, why are you kicking me again?” Du Shaoheng complained with pursed lips.
- “Check on her now,” Lu Zhanting urged coldly.
- Looking at Mu Xitong, Du Shaoheng could not help but to comment on her secretly in his mind.
- Judging from her bony figure, it was obvious that the girl had yet to complete her puberty. Lu Zhanting was taking advantage of a girl so much younger than him!
- He was not daring enough to say all these out loud. The consequence of acting otherwise would be unthinkable.
- He examined Mu Xitong expertly. Meanwhile, Lu Zhanting averted his icy gaze to look at Lu Yi. He then ordered, “Go find out what happened to her earlier tonight.”
- “Yes,” Lu Yi replied with utmost respect.
- Du Shaoheng completed the examination shortly after Lu Yi went out of the room.
- “She is having a mild fever. I will prescribe some medicine and she will be fine after taking it,” Du Shaoheng concluded.
- “Will it work?” Lu Zhanting asked in a deep voice.
- “Hey, you can doubt everything about me except my medical skill,” Du Shaoheng retorted with irritation.
- Lu Zhanting did not engage with him any further. Instead, he walked up to Mu Xitong’s side.
- “Boss, the ginger soup is ready,” Aunt Zhang reported respectfully.
- “Give it to me.” Lu Zhanting extended his hand...
- Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang handed the bowl of ginger soup to him.
- “Please help her with a warm bath later. I don’t want her to catch a cold,” he instructed in a firm voice.
- “Yes.” With that, Aunt Zhang left the room.
- Du Shaoheng was deeply shocked once again to see Lu Zhanting’s actions. Lu Zhanting had never been this gentle before. He thought that his vision had gone fuzzy.
- Lu Zhanting fed Mu Xitong the medicine attentively. He even blew on it gently to cool it down beforehand.
- At the sight of this, Du Shaoheng was unsure whether this was positive progress.
- As a powerful figure, Lu Zhanting could not afford to have weaknesses. No matter how prominent a person was, he would be defeated sooner or later once he had weaknesses.
- Du Shaoheng cast a meaningful glance at Mu Xitong. His gaze was not filled with curiosity. It looked murderous instead.
- After feeding Mu Xitong the medicine, Lu Zhanting sent the maid to help her with her bath.
- As he didn’t have any women’s clothing at home, he took out a pair of his unworn pyjamas for her.
- After everyone had left the room, he immediately exuded an icy air.
- He approached Du Shaoheng and stared at him viciously.
- “You are not allowed to hurt her,” Lu Zhanting warned him in a cold voice.
