The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 45

She sorted through the information the original owner had given her in her mind. She took out the pink cell phone and diary from her bag, found several files in it, and handed them to him, "These... I kept them, maybe they'll be useful."

This kind of thing was tricky, especially when she realized how powerful the information in this world was.

If she hadn't called Huo Shaoting in time yesterday, given Left Ran's temper yesterday, it was very likely that it would have been exposed online.

Huo Shaoting took the items, his eyes deep, and just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

"I think I'll sleep a little longer."

Rong Dai hurriedly made excuses. She hadn't expected this to be so serious, and if Huo's family knew, her situation would be even more difficult.

Her mind was chaotic, and she didn't have the energy to think about countermeasures either.

Huo Shaoting didn't poke holes in her thoughts either, turning around and taking the call.

Of course Rong Dai couldn't sleep leaning against the bed. Huo Shaoting didn't stay on the phone for long and came back in shortly after. She noticed his face was even gloomier.

"Did something happen?" She was timid, and didn't even have the courage to speak.

From rebirth until now, she had caused him a lot of trouble.

Huo Shaoting looked at her deeply, his voice low, "Left Ran was bailed out this morning."

This was Hong Rong's negligence. Because Huo Shaoting had previously instructed him not to make a big deal out of this, not many people at the police station knew about it.

Early this morning, before Hong Rong got to the station, someone took the opportunity while he was away to provide bail for Left Ran.

"What does this mean?" Rong Dai was so shocked that she hurriedly sat down, her hands and feet turning cold.

"It means she's free now." He explained plainly, but his puzzlement grew even more. This woman didn't seem to understand many words.

Rong Dai was stunned. Given Left Ran's madness, if she was free now, she would definitely come to take revenge on herself!

She dared not imagine how much impact it would have if Left Ran leaked the explicit photos in her hand online.

Previously, she had only tried acting on a whim. Although the online news had been suppressed by other news by now, she truly felt the terror of this information age.

There was almost no privacy, and she was like a transparent person in front of the masses.

The reason her failed acting attempt became a hot search was because of Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye's fame, and also because she was Madam Huo.

But after all, what she had suffered was only suspicion, without too many other negative things. After all, Huo Shaojie definitely had the ability to handle things well when there was no evidence, no matter how fanciful the rumors were.

But this time was different. Left Ran had a large number of explicit photos of the original owner in her hands. Once they were posted online, she dared not imagine the consequences.

"You should be discharged first and stay at home. This matter will take time to deal with." Seeing her pale complexion, he couldn't bear to criticize either.

Since things had already happened, he had to resolve the matter first before anything else.

"But...but she still has a backup with stuff inside..." Rong Dai said anxiously. It was hard to talk about this kind of thing.

Rong Dai felt frustrated and stifled. At times like this, none of her skills could be put to use. Instead, she could only rely on asking Huo Shaoting for help.

"I know." His voice was cold. He could guess this kind of thing without her saying it. "Go home first after being discharged."

Rong Dai could only nod. She was anxious now, but it was useless. Moreover, she didn't like places like hospitals very much.

After going through the discharge procedures, she successfully returned to the Huo residence.

Huo Shaoting still had things to deal with. Now that she had to rely on others, she didn't dare say anything. She saw him off and then turned around and returned to the Huo residence.

Seeing her return with her head wrapped in gauze, Aunt Wang was shocked.

"Aunt Wang, I'm fine, I just bumped it accidentally." She barely squeezed out a smile. Left Ran's matter had left her a little mentally and physically exhausted.

"Then I'll cook some soup for Madam. You go upstairs and rest for a while first." Aunt Wang said.

Rong Dai nodded and went upstairs to take a shower first, then curled up in the soft quilt, thinking about things.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with any solutions. Soon she fell asleep groggily.

She hadn't seen Huo Shaoting come back these past two days. She did see her mother-in-law twice, greeted her politely, then returned to her room to keep checking the news trends on Weibo.

There was no negative news about her coming out.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Shaoting must have used some means to deal with the matter.

Just as she was thinking about things, an unknown call came in on her phone. Her heart raced wildly as she looked at the number on it. Recalling the business card Huo Shaojie had given her earlier, this number seemed to be Lu Ye's.

She picked up and Lu Ye's enthusiastic voice immediately came through.

"Does it have to be today?" As expected, Lu Ye wanted her to go sign the contract. But thinking of Left Ran still at large, and recalling her madness from before, she felt it was most prudent to stay at the Huo residence.

There was a pause on Lu Ye's end. Considering her status, he immediately changed his tune, "Then how about this - I can come to the Huo residence too. There are still some other investors in this project who want to meet you too. Forget it, these are all trivial matters."

Hearing him say this, Rong Dai felt she was being too self-indulgent. It was just signing a contract after all. She wasn't going out alone either.

Moreover, this opportunity was hard to come by. She couldn't make them accommodate her schedule just because of her identity as Madam Huo, as well as habits cultivated in her previous life.

"No need, just give me an address and I'll come over now."

Lu Ye was only too happy to oblige. Although he had been annoyed by the online rumors during this time, he was still very excited to have dug up such a gem to play the female lead in his drama.

Seeing the address Lu Ye sent over, she got up to wash up and change, then headed to the destination in a private car.

It was a high-end restaurant. Lu Ye had invited several partners to come. Seeing Rong Dai walk in, everyone's eyes lit up.

Because Lu Ye had informed them of Rong Dai's status in advance, no one dared act out of line. They were all polite when greeting her. After some pleasantries, they got down to business.

Lu Ye was actually Lu Zheng's nephew, so he would never scam his own family member. Therefore, the contract signing went very smoothly. Then everyone sat down for a meal together.

"Director Lu, why don't you guys chat first. I'm going to the restroom for a bit."

Listening to them talk shop, Rong Dai felt a little awkward. She was also afraid of revealing flaws, so she found an excuse to briefly step out.

After leaving the restroom, Rong Dai was washing her hands at the sink when she suddenly sensed someone behind her. Reflexively, she glanced up at the mirror.

Standing behind her was someone who had concealed themselves tightly. She would never forget those eyes!

Wasn't this Left Ran!?

"You've really got guts, huh. Not only betraying me, but wanting me jailed too? You bitch!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Left Ran's gaze was vicious. Alarm bells went off in Rong Dai's mind. She aggressively pushed Left Ran away to leave, but Left Ran was prepared. She grabbed Rong Dai's hair again with that move!

Rong Dai staggered, incensed. Before she could react, she saw Left Ran take out something and spray it at her mouth and nose several times in succession.
