Chun Yuejing had always thought of herself as quite happy.
Her boyfriend said, “Yuejing, our future depends on you!”
Her boss said, “Yuejing, if you work hard, a promotion is definitely in sight!”
Her father said, “My little Yuejing has truly not embarrassed me!”
But who would have thought that all the past joys had now turned into yesterday's flowers, drifting far away, leaving behind a sudden "Iron Disc" that struck her squarely on the forehead, leaving her dizzy and in pain!
At this moment, she had only a suitcase, a note, and a bankbook with a zero balance...
Chun Yuejing stood on the street, her face filled with confusion and despair, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.
She had just landed a decent job and reported on a sensational news story, eagerly waiting for her boss to promote her. How could she end up in such a dire situation?
Her job was gone, a wealthy playboy hinted that climbing into his bed was her only way out, her landlord had thrown her out, and even her boyfriend of two years had run off with all her savings—leaving only a note: Take care of yourself.
She really wanted to cry.
All she did was report on a story about an Underworld Boss being supported by a popular Female Singer. Why had the whole world abandoned her?
The landlord's words still echoed in her ears: “Miss Chun, it’s not that I don’t want to rent to you; I just can’t afford to offend someone from Yan Gang. You might want to look elsewhere.”
Yan Gang had a massive influence in A City. Although they claimed to have cleaned up their act, who knew what they were really up to behind the scenes?
Chun Yuejing sniffled and secretly blamed the troublemaker for all this!
She lifted her chin and dragged her suitcase as she hailed a taxi. “To Yan Gang!”
That damned Underworld Boss must take responsibility for what he did!
The doorman at Yan Gang perked up when he saw her coming to find the boss. He was eager to see the boss teach this reckless Junior Entertainment Reporter a lesson for daring to report such news. Without hesitation, he let her inside.
Chun Yuejing's eyes were red, and she stared indignantly at the cold-faced Underworld Boss, Huo Chanyi. "You... you bastard! You have to take responsibility for me!"
The onlookers were so shocked they nearly dislocated their jaws. What was going on?
Huo Chanyi frowned. "Do I know you?"
"Don't know me? How dare you say you don't know me!" Chun Yuejing was furious, grabbing the hat in her hand and throwing it at him. "If it weren't for you, would I be unemployed? I've been hunted down, kicked out by my landlord, and worst of all, my boyfriend ran off with my money! All of this is your fault!"
Huo Chanyi dodged her attack, casting a cold glare at the bystanders, who immediately trembled in fear. Only Chun Yuejing continued to berate him as if she hadn't noticed. "You heartless scoundrel! Do you think being a pretty boy means no one will find out? You're spineless; you're not a man..."
Wiping her tears on his sleeve, she continued to accuse him. "I'm just a nobody; why do you have to target me? If you have the guts, go after our editor or our boss! You're so wicked!"
Huo Chanyi's lips twitched in irritation, on the verge of exploding. He struggled to contain his anger. "Who exactly are you?"
Looking at the snot on his clothes, Huo Chanyi nearly lost control. Damn it, how dare she use his clothes as a rag!
"I'm Chun Yuejing." She stopped her sobbing and glared fiercely at him. "Don't say you don't know me!"
If he really dared to forget… she would be extremely displeased!
Huo Chanyi frowned; he truly had no recollection of her. The only woman he remembered was Mu Liyin. "You are..."
He had actually forgotten! He remembered nothing at all. What about all the intimidation and grievances she had suffered these days?
He had caused her such misery, yet he knew nothing about it! How outrageous! It was simply infuriating!
Chun Yuejing pointed at him, ready to yell, "Huo Chanyi, you—"
"Try crying again and see what happens!"
Huo Chanyi's deep voice decisively interrupted her. Chun Yuejing bit her lip and looked at him with grievance, intimidated by his fierce expression and too scared to speak further. Yet inside, she continued to grumble: Seriously? Now it's her bad luck, and she doesn't even have the freedom to cry?!
She was filled with dissatisfaction and seething anger!
But she didn’t have the courage to continue throwing a tantrum, because Chun Yuejing suddenly realized that she was on someone else's turf! She… she had recklessly come to the territory of the underworld to cause a scene!
Seeing that she had finally quieted down, Huo Chanyi let out a sigh of relief and called over his subordinates to inquire about the situation.
Chun Yuejing noticed his increasingly grim expression. When he looked at her, he nodded repeatedly, his gaze complex as if he were plotting something.
A chill ran down Chun Yuejing's spine; she regretted her actions. What did it matter if she suffered a little? If she couldn’t get justice, she might even lose her life…
“I didn’t send anyone after you.”
Huo Chanyi spoke, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the petite woman who was shrinking back. “Although I am indeed very dissatisfied with your report.”
Chun Yuejing’s heart, which had just begun to settle, leaped at his latter words. Was it too late for her to run away now?
“I will take responsibility for you.”
Chun Yuejing focused intently, listening carefully, afraid that the Underworld Boss might have other tricks up his sleeve.
“I will provide you with a job and a place to stay. As for your boyfriend…” Huo Chanyi said with a half-smile, “I will have someone find him.”
Looking at the smile on his lips, Chun Yuejing suddenly felt a chill run through her. The problem seemed to be resolved, yet she couldn’t shake off her unease and even began to doubt whether she should have come here at all…
