Chapter 82 Utter Humiliation

Suno looked at him in terror. "What, what are you doing?"

She instinctively ran towards the door, but Zhang Ximing grabbed the hood of her hoodie.

The garment was of exceptionally high quality; no matter how hard she struggled, it wouldn't tear, and she was almost strangled into unconsciousness.

Zhang Ximing dragged her directly into his arms.

"Hiccup! Everyone said before that the eldest miss is the number one beauty and our company's mascot."

"You, hiccup, tell me, what did you do during those few months? You must have learned a lot, right?"

"The kidnappers didn't do anything, yet they let you come back? Hiccup, let me help you check."

As he spoke, his hand reached toward the inside of Su Nuo's clothes.

Su Nuo struggled desperately, but she was far too frail and no match for him at all.

Tap, tap, tap~

A knock sounded on the door, and Zhang Jinyu called out loudly, "Miss Su? Su Nuo?"

"Why are you still working overtime? What time is it? I'm taking you to eat."

She banged on the door, but Su Nuo couldn't make a sound because her mouth was covered by Zhang Ximing's large hand.

Her legs kicked wildly until she finally knocked over a chair.

"Are you in there, Miss Su? Should I go find someone to get the key?"

Zhang Jinyu's voice grew louder, and it sounded like several people were talking outside the door.

"Sister Jinyu, is she really inside?"

"I didn't see her come out, so she must be, right?"

"Should I climb in through the window and check?"

Hearing that someone was outside, Zhang Ximing finally let go of Su Nuo.

"Bad luck!"

He glared at her viciously. "I'm warning you, don't say anything you shouldn't. Otherwise, hmph!"

He didn't voice any specific threats, but Su Nuo was already too terrified to move.

Seeing this, Zhang Ximing let out a sneer.

"Just like Secretary Mo said, what a cheap bitch."

He belched from the alcohol and walked out, running right into Zhang Jinyu and the others.

By this time, Su Nuo had quickly straightened her clothes, picked up a pen, and pretended to be writing something.

Zhang Jinyu let out a sigh of relief.

"Manager Zhang, I came to take Su Nuo to dinner. We already agreed on it. Can't she leave yet?"

Zhang Ximing ignored her and walked straight out of the office.

Only then did Zhang Jinyu hurry inside. "Let's go, let's go, we're leaving right now."

She had already noticed Su Nuo scribbling wildly in her notebook and knew something must have gone wrong.

She practically had to drag Su Nuo away.

Zhang Jinzhu followed close beside them, escorting them all the way back to their room.

The moment the door closed, Su Nuo's tears finally burst forth uncontrollably.

Zhang Jinyu didn't ask what had happened; she simply pulled out a roll of toilet paper.

"Just use this for now. If you feel wronged, we'll call the police."

"You're a member of the Duan family, after all—how could he treat you like this? Let me tell you, he is no good. Several female workers at the construction site have been harassed by him."

"You're a young girl with thin skin. If you feel you can't take it, call your brother! I refuse to believe he'd just watch his own sister get bullied."

Zhang Jinyu didn't know the exact details, but she could pretty much guess from Su Nuo's expression.

She had wondered why such a fine young lady was sent here to be a supervisor.

Turns out she was being tormented.

"Where's your phone? Call home; you can't stay in a place like this."

"And that Manager Zhang, we need to get him fired immediately!"

The more Zhang Jinyu talked, the angrier she became, only to realize Su Nuo's phone was missing.

"Miss Su, where's your phone?"

Su Nuo froze for a moment before realizing her phone must still be in the office.

She stood up, intending to go back for it, but immediately sank back down onto the bed.

She didn't dare go back. What if Zhang Ximing returned?

Just now, she hadn't even dared to scream; how could she possibly fight back against him?

"Did you leave it in the office?" Zhang Jinyu asked.

Seeing Su Nuo nod, she sighed helplessly. "We'll go get it tomorrow. It's not like you urgently need it right now."

"I saw how drunk he was earlier and knew nothing good would come of it. We are not going back."

Meanwhile, Chi Ling tried calling Su Nuo repeatedly, but the calls went unanswered.

Earlier, he thought her voice sounded a bit frightened, though he had no idea what she might have encountered.

"Chi Ling, what are you doing?"

Duan Yubai had just finished showering, his hair still damp, as he rushed out anxiously.

There were issues with the funding for the Hai City project, and he was currently overwhelmed and stressed to the limit.

Chi Ling said coldly, "Didn't you ask me to inquire about Miss Su's medical checkup results?"

He, too, wanted to know how Su Nuo was doing.

Duan Yubai paused, then frowned. "She didn't answer your call?"

Chi Ling nodded.

Duan Yubai scoffed coldly. "Once we left, she went right back to normal. Didn't she always ignore your calls before?"

In the past, whenever Su Nuo asked Chi Ling for help a few times, Chi Ling had been unwilling. Later on, Duan Yubai told Chi Ling to call her, and she wouldn't answer then either, claiming it was just tit for tat.

Duan Yubai remembered it, and of course Chi Ling remembered it too.

Yet Chi Ling felt things were different now.

The past was the past, and the present was the present.

Suddenly, Duan Yubai's phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Mo Xiaoxue, he quickly answered.

"Xiaoxue, is the medical report not out yet?"

Mo Xiaoxue paused on the other end before letting out a light chuckle.

"With so many people and so much to handle at the company, I suppose I forgot to send it to you. I'll send it right now."

A WeChat notification sound chimed on Duan Yubai's phone—it was the medical report sent by Mo Xiaoxue.

"Miss Su is completely normal and very healthy. She just doesn't eat properly and has a mild case of superficial gastritis, but that's nothing major."

"And then there's... well, have you looked at the gynecology examination?"

Mo Xiaoxue's voice sounded somewhat hesitant.

Hearing this, Duan Yubai quickly flipped to the last page. Female employees always had a separate report for their gynecological examinations.

When he saw the contents, his expression grew even darker.

"Such severe inflammation—what is this about?"

His voice trembled slightly, his anger barely kept in check.

Mo Xiaoxue seemed reluctant to speak of it, finally letting out a sigh.

"It's just that Miss Su's lifestyle in that regard might not be very clean. The doctor suggested she exercise some restraint and not play so wildly."

"But don't worry, they've already prescribed medication, so it should..."

"Bastard!"

Duan Yubai stared viciously at the phone screen, flames of fury practically shooting from his eyes.

"Su Nuo, how dare she?!"

A lifestyle that wasn't clean? Exercise some restraint? Play wildly?

These phrases echoed repeatedly in Duan Yubai's mind.

So Su Nuo had actually gone behind their backs and gotten mixed up with other people?

A nameless rage filled his chest.

Mo Xiaoxue softly inquired, "President Duan, this kind of condition might affect her regular work, and perhaps even her fertility in the future. Do you think we should let her rest for a few days?"

"Rest for what? Isn't she fond of playing around? Assign her work—the hardest and most grueling kind. Let's see if she still has the energy to run around and mess with people!"

Duan Yubai said through gritted teeth, "She has completely disgraced the Duan family name!"
