Chapter 899 Reliable Cloud Listening

"Huo Sinian!" Lin Tan exclaimed anxiously.

But with her hands and feet bound, there was no use in trying to get her to hurry.

Huo Sinian slowly opened her chat software, found Qin Mo's chat window, and clicked on it.

Seeing that he was about to make a video call, Lin Tan immediately changed her mind: "I promise you."

Huo Sinian stopped what he was doing: "Agree to what?"

"I agree to divorce Qin Mo," Lin Tan said urgently. "I'll go back to Jingzhou with you and get married."

Huo Sinian stared at her with unfathomable eyes.

Lin Tan didn't dare to breathe.

"I might believe it if it were the night of the wrap party," Huo Sinian said in a low, slow voice. "Now, unless you're video chatting with Qin Mo and you take the initiative to hug and kiss me."

Lin Tan's heart sank little by little.

Huo Sinian is definitely not easy to fool now.

"Are you coming back with me?" Huo Sinian asked her.

"Go back." Lin Tan's mind raced, and she met his eyes. "Let me go first."

Huo Sinian didn't make things difficult and simply let go.

Almost the next second.

Lin Tan took off running towards the door of the private room.

She ignored her phone, ignoring the possibility that doing so might make Huo Sinian even angrier. All she knew was that she had to cherish any opportunity, otherwise it would be difficult to wait for the next one.

She ran to the door and pulled hard on the doorknob.

No matter how hard she pulled, it was no use.

"Teacher Song Zhi!"

"Director Ning!"

Is anyone there?

Lin Tan frantically pounded on the door, trying to make her voice heard.

No matter how hard she knocked, there was no response from outside, as if everyone in the restaurant had vanished into thin air.

"Stop shouting." Huo Sinian walked over slowly and said, "Your teacher Song Zhi and Director Ning are upstairs meeting with other people right now, they don't have time to deal with you."

Lin Tan turned around.

Seeing his nonchalant and calm demeanor, one could tell that everything was part of his plan.

"The plan is really thorough."

“If we’re not careful, how can we be alone together?” Huo Sinian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. “And don’t even think about your bodyguard Yun Ting coming to find you; she won’t have the chance.”

Lin Tan's hands, hanging at her sides, tightened slightly.

She was indeed waiting.

Even if there's no one outside, Yun Ting, who's waiting for her downstairs, will definitely come.

Knowing that Huo Sinian had prepared this dinner, she had made several preparations: one was Teacher Song Zhi, another was Xiao Feng outside, and the third was Yun Ting.

If she doesn't message him to let him know she's safe within half an hour, it means she's being pestered by Huo Sinian.

According to Huo Sinian, Yun Ting probably won't make it either.

"Don't worry, I won't knock you out and take you away this time." Huo Sinian stopped in front of her. "I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk and do some things with you."

Lin Tan pressed her hand against the door: "I won't do anything with you."

Huo Sinian: "Really?"

Lin Tan: "Yes."

Huo Sinian: "Why have I never seen you so stubborn before?"

Lin Tan didn't speak.

Previously isolated and helpless, she dared not gamble with Lin Ling.

“No one will come to save you, and you don’t have a phone.” Huo Sinian looked at her. “How are you going to stop me?”

Lin Tan quickly moved to the side.

Huo Sinian followed her gaze.

The next second.

Lin Tan picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it on the table.

With a "whoosh!" sound.

All that remained of the bottle in his hand was a sharp piece of glass.

"Do you think this thing can prick me? Or do you think I'm afraid of pain and bleeding?" Huo Sinian said without changing his expression.

“I don’t think this thing poses any threat to you.” Lin Tan pointed the sharp glass at her neck, her usually gentle eyes now filled with determination. “But it could put you on the line for murder.”

Huo Sinian is a madman.

Not afraid of pain or death.

If you aim at him, he will only take it away and bully you.

But if the bottle were pointed at her, he wouldn't want to risk his life.

"Threatening me?" Huo Sinian's gaze fell on the sharp glass that was only millimeters away from her neck.

Lin Tan: "Not really."

Huo Sinian reminded him: "Don't forget you still have to film. How can you film if your neck is smudged? If you really have to go to the hospital and it takes ten days or half a month to get back to work, who will be responsible for the production schedule?"

“You don’t need to morally blackmail me.” Lin Tan met his gaze. “I said a long time ago that I would not go back with you. If you force me, I will choose to die.”

"Go ahead." Huo Sinian spread his hands casually. "After you die, you and Qin Mo will no longer be husband and wife. I will take your ashes back to Jingzhou and keep them to be buried with me."

Lin Tan didn't know what to say to him at that moment.

She really had no idea what Huo Sinian was thinking.

She's nothing special.

He's not a special person.

Why is he, a powerful, influential, and handsome man, fixated on her?

"Are you too scared to act?" Huo Sinian stared at her hands, which were gradually turning white, and said slowly, "Do you need my help?"

"Open the door," Lin Tan said.

Huo Sinian: "Impossible."

Lin Tan pursed her red lips tightly.

Huo Sinian glanced towards the door: "If you stab me, I might just open it and have someone send you to the hospital or the crematorium."

Lin Tan tightened her grip on the bottle little by little.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

No one moved.

Until Huo Sinian's phone rang.

Seeing that it was Gu Yang calling, he glanced at Lin Tan before answering: "What is it?"

"Lin Tan's female bodyguard is here." Gu Yang looked at Yun Ting, who was covered in bruises but still exuded a strong aura, and decided to let her pass. "She'll be here in about two minutes. Take care of whatever you need to do quickly."

Huo Sinian's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses: "You're just taking my salary for nothing?"

“I wanted to stop her too,” Gu Yang said helplessly. “But that girl was too ruthless, and she was fighting like she didn’t care about her life. If I really fought her head-on, she would definitely end up in the hospital for a hundred days.”

Huo Sinian pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

"We agreed beforehand that I would only shield you from harm, and no one would die," Gu Yang reminded him.

When Yun heard this, he thought he could just block it casually.

But the more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong. This little girl seemed tireless. Every punch was powerful, every move aimed at vital points. If he hadn't been a top-notch fighter, he probably would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

"Where are you?" Huo Sinian didn't say much.

“She’s behind her.” Gu Yang said, glancing at Yun Ting walking ahead. “She’s reached your private room door. Oh, and she even took out your bodyguard who was guarding outside.”

Huo Sinian: "..."

"Bang!"

The door to the private room was kicked open forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Ting, covered in bruises and dressed in a cool and stylish manner, stood at the door. Her gaze swept around and finally landed quickly and accurately on Lin Tan, who was holding a glass bottle.

Almost instantly.

She strode up to her, took the bottle from her hand, and tossed it aside: "Sorry I'm late."

Lin Tan suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Looking at the bruises on her face and the marks on her arms, she instinctively reached out to touch them, but worried that she might hurt her if she touched them too hard, so she could only hover carefully in the air: "How did you get like this? Who hit you?"

"It's okay, I called back." Yun Ting grasped her wrist. "Let's go back."

Lin Tan's heart immediately settled: "Okay."

Yun Ting led her outside, the lamplight casting long shadows of them. Her long, straight black hair fluttered slightly, adding to Yun Ting's already aloof personality and giving her an air of authority.

When we arrived at the door.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Turning to look at Huo Sinian, who was watching them, she said, "You should be glad my employer is alright, otherwise even if your bodyguard were here, I would have definitely beaten you to a pulp."
