Chapter 39

After attending the auction, Lin Yi had nothing else to do.

He was considering whether to go straight home.

At that moment, Li Feng received a message. After glancing at it, he said solemnly to Lin Yi, "Mr. Lin, a bodyguard just sent me a message. Something seems to have happened with Mr. Huo."

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised. "What happened?"

Li Feng frowned. "I'm not sure. Why don't we go and check it out now?"

As he spoke, he took the vase from Lin Yi's hands and held it himself.

Since Lin Yi had nothing else to do, he nodded. "Let's go."

Soon, the two of them took the elevator to the tenth floor.

The tenth floor was usually reserved for meetings, with a large conference room and several private rooms.

Expensive carpets covered the floors, and imported green plants adorned the corners, making it clear this was a place frequented by the upper class.

At this time, Huo Jihan and his group had finished the corporate meeting and moved into one of the private rooms nearby.

Lin Yi followed Li Feng to the door of the private room.

Li Feng quietly pushed open the door.

Lin Yi instinctively looked inside.

The room was eerily silent, as if something significant had occurred.

The lighting in the room was dim.

Huo Jihan sat in the main seat, his expression inscrutable, his dark eyes like ice-covered pools.

Seated in the shadows, he seemed to exude a chilling aura.

The people around him dared not breathe loudly, all trembling in fear of Huo Jihan's wrath.

When Lin Yi reached the door, he shivered from the cold atmosphere.

What was going on?

At that moment, a bodyguard approached and quietly explained what had happened.

It turned out that an old CEO wanted to curry favor with Huo Jihan but, lacking a proper approach, resorted to an underhanded tactic-trying to insert someone into Huo Jihan's presence.

The CEO found a particularly beautiful model, dressed provocatively, who pretended to accidentally fall into Huo Jihan's arms.

Huo Jihan naturally avoided her, but this incident infuriated him.

At that moment, the CEO, under Huo Jihan's pressure, was pale and drenched in cold sweat.

The model was so frightened she was about to faint.

After hearing the bodyguard's explanation, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in understanding.

No wonder Huo Jihan was so angry; such an incident had occurred.

In his view, Huo Jihan was emotionally detached, almost devoid of normal human feelings, which was why he had chosen a contractual marriage partner to avoid trouble.

Yet, today, such an incident still happened.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, wondering if he needed to do anything.

From the heart, he didn't care if Huo Jihan interacted with other men or women, after all, they were only in a contractual marriage-a business partnership where Huo Jihan provided money, and Lin Yi acted as a shield when necessary. Their roles were clearly defined.
