966 Courtesy Before Force
Shen Hanxing frowned and almost stopped breathing.
On the other side, Mo Zhenbang stood at the door of the study.
“President Mo, that woman must be inside!” The burly man beside Mo Zhenbang had a fierce look in his eyes. “I’ll break the door open now!”
“Don’t worry.” When Mo Zhenbang heard this, he laughed. He raised his hand to stop the burly man and pretended to say, “What did I teach you? It’s not thirty years ago anymore. Violence is not popular. We have to be polite before using force and convince people with reason.”
“Bang bang bang!” Mo Zhenbang stood at the door and knocked on the door of the study. He asked with a smile, “Mrs. Ji, are you inside?”
The study room was completely silent as if there was no one there. However, Mo Zhenbang had already ordered his men to guard the stairs well. Every room had been carefully checked. Other than the study room, Shen Hanxing had no place to hide. As he thought about this, the smile in his eyes grew wider. He could almost imagine Shen Hanxing covering her mouth in fear, her eyes wide open, and trembling as she looked at the door.
It was like a cat playing with a mouse. Mo Zhenbang smiled good-naturedly. “If Mrs. Ji doesn’t reply, I’ll go in.”
The study remained silent. Mo Zhenbang did not mind. He raised his hand and waved. Soon, a servant brought the key to the study over.
With a click, the sound of the door lock being twisted was heard. The door handle of the study turned, and the heavy door was pushed open. Mo Zhenbang let the others guard the door and he walked into the study. Looking at the quiet study, there was no surprise in his eyes. Did she think that she could escape by hiding? There were only a few places in the study where people could hide. He wore leather shoes and stepped on the thick carpet. As he walked, he hummed a pleasant, unknown tune. He did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He slowly searched through the rows of bookshelves and opened one cabinet after another, deliberately making noise.
When a person was hiding, if one couldn’t see the scene in the room, one could only hear the sound of searching and footsteps. At this time, the person’s spirit was the most nervous as if one was waiting for death. However, Mo Zhenbang was very obsessed with this process. He searched every corner where he could hide, but there was nothing. Nothing at all. He walked to the desk. The computer screen was dark, and his smiling face was reflected on it.
Mo Zhenbang bent down and looked under the table. It was empty. There was no one there. He straightened his body and scanned the entire study room. Finally, he fixed his gaze on a certain place. Since there was no one in those places, there was only one place left for her to hide– behind the curtain.
Mo Zhenbang revealed a confident smile. He seemed to be able to think of Shen Hanxing hiding behind the curtains with a terrified expression. He immediately laughed and said happily, “Ah, I found you!” As he spoke, he walked to the front of the curtain and raised his hand.
With a swoosh, the thick curtains were pulled open! The bright sunlight shone in, causing Mo Zhenbang, who was used to the dim view of the study room, to squint his eyes. In his haziness, he saw a slender figure.
“President Mo.” Shen Hanxing raised her head and looked at Mo Zhenbang. Her eyes were a little cold. “We meet again.”
Fortunately, Mo Zhenbang did not break in directly just now. This gave her time to finish copying the last bit of the document. She had hidden behind the curtain and did not make a sound just now to buy time. When she saw Mo Zhenbang, Shen Hanxing smiled lightly and grabbed the flower pot on the windowsill. With a bang, she exerted force on her feet and took two steps forward. She rose from the ground and pinned the flower pot on Mo Zhenbang’s head!
After all, Mo Zhenbang was old and his reaction was much slower. He could not compare to the agile Shen Hanxing at all. The flower pot hit his head hard, causing his vision to turn black.
“B*tch, you’re courting death!” Mo Zhenbang roared angrily and did not hide his killing intent at all. “I must teach you a lesson today!”
“Is that so?” Shen Hanxing seemed to have heard a funny joke. She covered her red lips and chuckled. “Unfortunately, I’m not interested in continuing to play with President Mo.” As she spoke, she took two steps back and pressed her back against the floor-to-ceiling window.
“What kind of place do you think the Mo Family is? Do you think you can come and go as you please?” Mo Zhenbang covered his forehead and laughed sinisterly. “Just stay here obediently today!”
