Chapter 53: Shut Up!

 Chapter 53: Second Master Hou 's Anger: Shut Up!

Rong Jing cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I am Rong Jing. May I know who you are?"

"Hou Yirong," replied Second Master Hou.

Second Master Hou smiled and introduced himself in a friendly tone, but it was only superficial. He stared fixedly at Rong Jing, and the smile on his face was icy and devoid of warmth. If Rong Jing were to look him in the eye, he would see a terrifying gleam in his deep-set eyes.

Rong Jing kept his head down, nodded in response, and subconsciously reacted to his words. He kept muttering the name in his mind: Hou Yirong, Hou , Yi, Rong!

Suddenly, Rong Jing widened his eyes and looked at Hou Yirong in horror. The coldness in his eyes was indescribable. Perhaps, he was used to being in a superior position and looking down on people. Even a casual glance was enough to make people tremble with fear.

"Hou ... Second Master Hou ?" Rong Jing stammered.

He was about to wet his pants! Hou  Yirong, the head of the Hou HEA Group, was rumored to be deep-minded, ruthless, and cruel, and a person whom countless aristocratic youths in the capital looked up to him despite being difficult to get along with.

Even Rong Jing, who belonged to the fringes of society, had heard of Second Master Hou 's name.

As he met the man's cold gaze, Rong Jing's heart was pounding, and he felt that the words used to describe him in the rumors were indeed appropriate.

Hou Yirong frowned and stared at Rong Jing with a pensive look, still keeping him in the state of terror. He reached out and turned the ultra-thin notebook on the table in a different direction.

The video on the screen was still paused on Han Kexin's face.

Without beating around the bush, Second Master Hou asked, "Did you sleep with this woman that night at the Imperial Palace Hotel?"

He pointed at the woman on the screen with his slender, bamboo-like fingers.

Sweat beads appeared on Rong Jing's forehead and dripped down his cheeks onto the precious carpet in the study. Seeing Han Kexin in the video, he was in a state of shock and murmured in a terrified tone, "No, I didn't. How could Han Kexin sleep with me..."

I see Han Kexin in the video, he is flustered and murmurs in a panicked tone, "No, I didn't, how could Han Kexin have slept with me..."

He divulges in detail the reception that night, and the money he spent on a woman for a night of pleasure afterwards.

He even reveals the duration and approximate positions during his encounter with her.

He just needs to write a follow-up article to prove his innocence with Han Kexin.

Hou Yirong stares at the silly guy in front of him who can't stop talking and rolls his eyes in a very unsightly manner.

"Shut up!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Mr. Hou finally gets angry.

Who wants to hear all his nonsense!

Rong Jing shudders all over and immediately shuts his mouth.

Hou Yirong leans back in his seat, his aura calm and stable.

His dark pupils stare at Rong Jing, making him feel cold all over.

In the face of Mr. Hou 's gaze, Rong Jing is both shocked and scared. He can practically dig a hole in the carpet with his toes.

As he approaches the brink of collapse and can no longer bear the pressure, Mr. Hou finally speaks kindly.

"That night, was there anything wrong with Han Kexin? Think carefully and answer when you've figured it out."

Ignoring the intimidating gaze in front of him, Rong Jing thought back carefully to the details of the reception that night.

He had a look of remembrance on his face. "There was nothing wrong with Han Kexin. When the reception was about to end, her sister, the illegitimate daughter from the Qin family, who had been brought back from outside, came. She seemed to be looking for something from Han Kexin."

"That girl looked pretty good, but people didn't want to let her go and started heckling her, forcing her to take a drink. Who knew her alcohol tolerance was really bad, and she passed out after just one drink."

"I've never seen anyone pass out from one drink while still alive. The speed was just incredible. As soon as the drink went down her throat and not even a minute had passed, she just collapsed..."
