The call was from the front desk. After she spoke, the other end listened for a few seconds before saying, “VP, there’s a lady called Tang Li. She says she’s your friend and wants to see you.”

Liang Ran had a headache. She had just arrived at the company today and Tang Li had already found her here.

“Let her wait in the lobby.” Liang Ran hung up the phone and went downstairs with the documents she had just sorted out.

Liang Ran was stunned when she saw Tang Li standing at the front desk.

Although the weather wasn’t very hot, it wasn’t cold either. Tang Li wrapped herself up tightly with a scarf around her neck. Her hair was loose and she even wore a black mask.

Seeing Liang Ran, Tang Li was excited and ran over.

When she reached out to grab Liang Ran, Liang Ran subconsciously dodged. Tang Li’s hand froze in the air. Before she could say anything, her tear fell.

Liang Ran frowned, “What does Miss Tang want from me?”

Tang Li said in a hoarse voice, “Ranran, I went to your house to look for you, but Auntie said that you weren’t at home. I had no choice but to come to the company to take my chances.”

There were plenty of staff in the company. Many of them were looking over, hoping to hear some juicy news.

“Why are you here?” Liang Ran was a little impatient.

Tang Li didn’t say anything. She took off her mask and removed the scarf around her neck. Then, she moved closer to let Liang Ran have a look.

Liang Ran gasped. Tang Li’s face and neck were covered in bruises, and even her lips were scarred.

“These are all from that day,” Tang Li cried. “Once a man is obsessed with sex, he’s no longer human. I felt like I was going to die that day. I begged them to let me go, but they didn’t want to. They even…”

Tang Li paused for a moment before continuing, “Initially, they said that they were forced by Mr. Ji to do this to me, but when Mr. Ji’s people came in and asked them to stop, they didn’t, as if they had gone crazy.”

After Tang Li finished speaking, she seemed to break down. A crazy and vicious light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly grabbed Liang Ran’s hand, digging her sharp nails into Liang Ran’s flesh.

Liang Ran cried out in pain and tried to shake off her hand, but Tang Li’s grip was surprisingly strong. She was now acting crazy, and Liang Ran couldn’t break free.

“Ah…” Tang Li suddenly screamed.

Liang Ran wanted to cry. She hadn’t even screamed yet after being attacked. Why was Tang Li screaming?

“Let go.” The tall man grabbed Tang Li’s wrist and spoke in a cold voice.

Liang Ran stared at him for a moment but didn’t recognize him.

Fan Ze smiled at Liang Ran. “What’s wrong? Can’t recognize me after all these years?”

As soon as he spoke, Liang Ran remembered him and smiled. “Mr. Fan.”

The person who came was Fan Jin’s brother. He was most likely here for Fan Jin’s sake. Liang Ran looked behind him and saw Fan Jin standing a few steps away with an awkward face.

There were so many uninvited guests today.

Depression flashed across Fan Ze’s face, “Why do you sound so distant? Ranran wouldn’t learn from others, implicating me in other people’s mistakes, right?”

“Of course not,” Liang Ran said with a smile. “I just have something to deal with right now.”

Fan Ze nodded. “Take care of your own matters first. If you need help, feel free to ask.”

Liang Ran didn’t reply to him. She turned to Tang Li and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Tang Li cried and wanted to pull Liang Ran, but Liang Ran was on guard now and stepped back a little.

Tang Li said in a pitiful tone, “Ranran, I was wrong back then. I shouldn’t have betrayed you and followed Zeng Lu. I, I’ve already been punished. Please help me beg Mr. Ji not to release those videos. Can you help me, Ranran? Please, for our old friendship, help me.”

Liang Ran and Tang Li had been friends for so many years. How could she not know Tang Li’s personality? And she had seen the hatred in Tang Li’s eyes just now.

“If Miss Tang wants to beg for mercy, Miss Tang should go to Mr. Ji. What’s the point to ask me? He won’t listen to me.”

Tang Li said anxiously, “Ranran, I was wrong. I was wrong, okay? Please help me. Mr. Ji did it for you. If you say it, he will definitely listen.”

Her words successfully reminded Liang Ran what happened that day. If Ji Xuan had not appeared, she would be in a worse situation than Tang Li.

“Miss Tang, you’ve asked the wrong person.”
