Chapter 145: I'll Get You for Sure, Old Man

  A loud slap landed on Wu Tian's face, and the sound of it was so crisp that his left cheek felt scorching hot, as if it had been branded with a freshly heated iron, and to make matters worse, a layer of chili powder was sprinkled on top, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Fang Hua was stunned, Wu Tian was stunned, and Zhuo Wenjun was also stunned.

  Fang Hua didn't expect Zhuo Wenjun to hit Wu Tian. Even if they weren't friends, they couldn't be considered enemies either. Although Wu Tian had sneaked into the Donghua Building last night to peek at her diary, Zhuo Wenjun didn't have any evidence, so how could she just go around hitting people? Moreover, that slap sounded so loud, like a firecracker on New Year's Eve. Pa~~! Fang Hua's heart ached just listening to it. As a result, Fang Hua's gaze immediately turned fierce, and when looking at Zhuo Wenjun, it was filled with hostility. She had long considered herself Wu Tian's person, and Wu Tian was naturally her man. Now that she saw her man being hit, and by a woman at that, how could Fang Hua not be furious? She herself had never even had the heart to hit anyone before...

  Wu Tian did not expect Zhuo Wenjun to hit him, but this slap was one he was willing to take. At the moment Zhuo Wenjun raised her hand, Wu Tian had already seen it coming and could have easily dodged or blocked it with his skills and agility. However, he chose not to. It wasn't that he enjoyed being hit by Zhuo Wenjun or had a masochistic tendency; rather, he wanted Zhuo Wenjun to owe him a favor - a huge one. His face was not something to be slapped casually. His pride was immense in the industry, and who dared to hurt his pride? Since she had hit him, there would have to be consequences. This slap couldn't go unpunished; it had to be repaid with a favor that matched the magnitude of his wounded pride.

  "I'll get you for this!" Wu Tian thought to himself. But on the surface, he wore a heartbroken expression. The pain wasn't just on his face, but also in his heart.

  As for Zhuo Wenjun, after hitting him, she began to regret it. Just now, she was thinking deeply and Wu Tian's sudden approach startled her. She thought of being taken advantage of last night and losing her first kiss, so in a panic, she unconsciously swung her arm and slapped the other person. This was entirely her own fault, as she wasn't paying attention, no, she was focused, focused on Wu Tian's eyes, so she didn't notice his other changes, resulting in him misunderstanding.

  But if it were an ordinary person, a simple "sorry" would be enough. However, the person in front of her is no ordinary person. He's not just the boss of a company, but also has such a deep background. Perhaps with just one sentence, he could crush her company and leave it gasping for air. China's power and wealth are all controlled by three thousand families, and the Wu family is one of them.

  Don't look at her now as the illustrious CEO of Donghua Pharmaceuticals, but compared to Wu Tian, she still has a long way to go. With just one face, he's not limited to just one company. The current Tianzheng Pharmaceuticals is the best proof.

  Seeing Wu Tian's heartbroken and disheartened expression, Zhuo Wenjun was at a loss for words for a moment. She, who had always been calm and composed in the face of events, couldn't calm down either, and felt embarrassed about not knowing what to say. Wu Tian's painful appearance softened her heart.

  "Sorry... sorry, Mr. Wu, I didn't mean to." Zhuo Wenjun could only apologize to Wu Tian in the simplest way.

  "Did you hit someone and think a simple apology will do?" Fang Hua shouted at Zhuo Wenjun. Before, because Wu Tian was there, she had to put on a good show. But now it's different, Zhuo Wenjun hit Wu Tian, hit her man, how could Fang Hua not be angry? At this moment, the way she looked at Zhuo Wenjun made her want to strangle her to death.

  "I know a single apology cannot make up for the harm Mr. Wu has suffered, I will take responsibility," said Zhuo Wenjun.

  "How are you responsible?" Fang Hua stepped forward, looking down at Zhuo Wenjun, and with her height advantage, she was overwhelming.

  "I want compensation for medical expenses and mental distress!" said Zhuo Wenjun, thinking for a moment. Although she knew the other party was not short of money, apart from this, she didn't know what else to use as compensation.

  "Who wants your stinky money? Don't we have any money?" Fang Hua said in a bad tone, "Or do you think that just because you have money, you can hit people at will?"

  "......!" Zhuo Wenjun was speechless, apologizing wasn't it, and neither was it about the money.

  "Hua Fang, don't say anything!" Wu Tian said, stopping Hua Fang while rubbing the spot where Zhuo Wenjun had just hit him, "I know Miss Zhuo looks down on me, it's my own fault for asking to be hit."

  "No, it's not like that," Zhuo Wenjun hastily shook her head and explained, "I really didn't do it on purpose. Because something big happened in my company, I was flustered for a moment, so..."

  "What's wrong? What's happened?" Wu Tian asked with concern, looking at Zhuo Wenjun.

  Zhuo Wenjun sized up Wu Tian, thinking that from his reactions earlier, he shouldn't be the man from last night. If it were him, he should have been evasive and avoided her eyes, let alone dared to come over and kiss her. Moreover, the gaze of the man last night was tense but playful, whereas the eyes of the man in front of her only held warmth. Zhuo Wenjun thought for a moment before saying, "Last night, two thieves snuck into my company, entered my office, and even knocked me unconscious."

  "What?" Wu Tian suddenly stood up from the sofa, looking at Zhuo Wenjun with a shocked face and asked, "Is what you said true?"

  "Yes." Zhuo Wenjun nodded.

  "Hmph!" Fang Hua snorted disdainfully and said with a cold smile, "You wouldn't be trying to find an excuse to get our boss to sympathize with you, would you?"

  "Every word I say is true, if it's false, let heaven strike me with lightning!" Zhuo Wenjun swore with her hand raised.

  Fang Hua rolled her eyes, turning her head to one side. Although she didn't refute Zhuo Wenjun's words, her reaction showed her attitude - she still didn't believe what he said.

  "Who is that big guy, dare to break into your company and steal things? And knock you out?" Wu Tian frowned tightly, although he had already sat down, but his face was still an expression of disbelief. His eyes carefully looked at Zhuo Wenjun's body up and down, finally asking with concern, "Are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

  Zhuo Wenjun looked at Wu Tian and then gently shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, they just knocked me out."

  "That's good." Wu Tian patted his chest with his hand, let out a light sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhuo Wenjun with an angry face. "Did you call the police? Did you see that person clearly? Is there any clue? If so, tell me quickly, I must catch those two thieves."

  "There's no alarm......!" Zhuo Wenjun said.

  "Cut it out, that's really fabricated. The company was robbed and you were knocked unconscious by the thief, yet you didn't report to the police? Who would believe that?" Fang Hua said with a smirk.

  "Because nothing was lost, the two thieves didn't leave anything behind. On the surveillance camera, only two silhouettes can be seen, so even if the police went, they would be powerless." Zhuo Wenjun sighed and said, her eyes still observing Wu Tian out of the corner of her eye.

  "Joke, the thief went and didn't steal anything, what did he go for? Take a walk? Or is it to admire Miss Zhuo's beauty?" Fang Hua said sarcastically, no matter how Zhuo Wenjun explained, she just wouldn't believe her, and was always against her.

  "This is also something I've never understood." Zhuo Wenjun said, she knew why Fang Hua would always be so aggressive, it was just because of that one slap earlier, which had caused the two to become enemies. However, Fang Hua's reaction made Zhuo Wenjun even more certain that the two thieves who went to Donghua last night were neither Fang Hua nor Wu Tian.

  "Haven't you had a falling out with someone recently?" Wu Tian asked Zhuo Wenjun in puzzlement, "Could it be that one of your competitors is behind this?"

  "Settle the score, it's not about who owes what, we're all competing, whoever wins or loses is based on their own strength."

  "Competition is real, but it's not necessarily fair. For the sake of profit, people will stop at nothing, and that's normal. Corporate espionage, buying out the other company's employees, these things happen all the time." Wu Tian appeared to be helping Zhuo Wenjun analyze the situation, but in reality, he was speaking from experience as well. After all, corporate espionage and buying out intelligence were not uncommon for Zhuo Wenjun either. Wasn't Zhang Xiangui of Shengtian Pharmaceutical bought out by Zhuo Wenjun? Of course, Wu Tian wouldn't show a gloating expression; he would only "care" about Zhuo Wenjun, so he continued, "For example, does your company have any important projects that are being closely watched by competitors? In order to get ahead and obtain the project details, they'll send people to steal."

  Wu Tian's words reminded Zhuo Wenjun of the time she sneaked into the Tianzheng Building in the middle of the night to steal experimental records. However, at that time, Wu Tian had caught her red-handed! Seeing Wu Tian's concerned eyes now, Zhuo Wenjun felt a pang of guilt.

  Perhaps with a deep understanding, Zhuo Wenjun felt that Wu Tian's words were still very reasonable. Previously, she had suspected her colleagues, and the company was studying several projects, each of which was confidential and not to be disclosed. However, there were too many colleagues, and it was difficult to find two people among them, just like finding a needle in the ocean. Even if she had previously suspected Wu Tian, she had no evidence, but only relied on her intuition. If she had any clues, she would not have come to Wu Tian's place rashly.

  "It's alright, as long as no one is hurt. Be more careful in the future." Wu Tian said to Zhuo Wenjun, who seemed to be deep in thought, "Add more surveillance cameras and dispatch more personnel for patrol. You should also be more careful, don't wander off alone, let Liu Jiajia follow you closely, her skills are still quite good, dealing with a few small-time thieves shouldn't be a problem."

  Zhuo Wenjun smiled bitterly in her heart. Is there such a powerful thief? Although Liu Jiajia is powerful, compared to her, she is still slightly inferior. She can't even beat herself, let alone Liu Jiajia. However, thinking carefully, Wu Tian's proposal was also good. If last night she wasn't alone in the office, but had Liu Jiajia follow her, in a 2v2 situation, it's uncertain who would win or lose. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be a crushing defeat where they couldn't even see their opponent's face.

  "Thank you, I'll be careful." Zhuo Wenjun said to Wu Tian, a faint smile appeared on her face, and her eyes also became softer.
