Fu Yong gently caressed her back.

Before she could speak, he simply said, “I’m here.” His gaze was firm as he smiled gently at Hua Tang.

However, when he turned around to look at Yin Zhaoyang, his face displayed a fierce and murderous expression, and his gaze cut like a blade.

The hotel security staff stationed at the entrance were also forced to retreat by Fu Yong’s cold gaze.

Yin Zhaoyang’s entire body trembled as he struggled to get up from the ground.” W-who are you? How dare you hit me?! Do the laws mean nothing to you? I’ll call the police on you…”

Fu Yong didn’t waste time talking to him and dragged him directly to the hotel’s backyard.

Hua Tang was worried that Fu Yong would get hurt, so she hurriedly followed him. However, before she could reach him, she heard the sounds of someone incessantly begging for mercy coming from the backyard.

In the backyard, Yin Zhaoyang kneeled on the ground, hands covering his face as he kowtowed to Fu Yong.

Fu Yong didn’t stop there and viciously stomped on Yin Zhaoyang’s face.

Yin Zhaoyang cried out at the top of his lungs, “B-Boss! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again, I swear!”

Fu Yong’s face was expressionless, and his voice was cold as he threatened, “If I see you harassing my wife again, think about the consequences!”

Yin Zhaoyang was flabbergasted. His jaw almost dislocated from the trampling it suffered, but still, he bewilderedly wondered, ‘Hua Tang has a husband?’

Fu Yong’s gaze shifted to Yin Zhaoyang’s crotch, where a large amount of liquid was pooling beneath the man’s body. He snorted coldly, feeling disgusted, and barked out, “Get lost!”

Yin Zhaoyang ignored his pain and hastily ran away. He even ignored Hua Tang’s presence as he passed by her.

Hua Tang was shocked by Yin Zhaoyang’s sorry state. She thought the two had a fierce battle and hurriedly went to see if Fu Yong was injured. However, Fu Yong calmly walked out of the backyard as if nothing had happened.

Tears welled up in Hua Tang’s eyes as she dove into his arms.

Fu Yong asked in a low voice, “I… Will this cause you trouble? I think I beat up your boss.”

Hua Tang shook her head and hugged his waist without saying anything.

Fu Yong stroked her long hair and murmured, “This husband of yours only knows how to fight. You might have to learn to adapt in the future.”

Hua Tang lifted her head and looked at him. Their eyes met, and they laughed heartily.

Fu Yong petted her petite head as he urged, “You should quit the job. It doesn’t earn much anyway, and the work is exhausting. Now that I’ve fought with your superior, he might make things worse for you.”

“That won’t happen,” Hua Tang smiled.

Fu Yong was stunned when he saw Hua Tang take a recording pen from her pocket and press ‘replay.’

She had recorded everything Yin Zhaoyang had said. No matter what, Yin Zhaoyang didn’t dare let Bi Ying’er know how he really thought of her.

Fu Yong looked at Hua Tang, and his eyes deepened in thought. In such a dire situation, Hua Tang remained calm and composed. She was even cool-headed enough to keep evidence of being harassed!

This way, even if Yin Zhaoyang wanted to make things difficult for her, he would not dare to try anything because as soon as this matter was brought to the surface, Yin Zhaoyang’s reputation would be ruined, and he would even make an enemy of Bi Ying’er; Yin Zhaoyang could no longer stay in this line of work if that happened.

Fu Yong praised her generously, “My wife is so smart!”

Hua Tang was pleased with herself. She lifted her chin and chuckled, “Of course!”

However, Fu Yong changed the topic. “Why did he call you TangTang? Isn’t your name Hua Ning?”

Hua Tang’s legs gave way, and she almost fell to the ground.

Fu Yong hugged her waist, an intriguing smile on his well-defined face.

Hua Tang racked her brain trying to tackle this question and could only respond with, “TangTang… is my nickname.”

“How did that man know your nickname?” Fu Yong continued. “Isn’t that private?”

Hua Tang pursed her lips tightly and continued to weave her tale. “I don’t know where he heard it from either. We attended the same university together in the past; he might have heard my friends call me that…Anyway, this person was a psycho! Hubby, you did such a good job beating him up today!”

Hua Tang smiled at him timidly. “I’ll reward you with ribs and braised prawns tonight!”

Fu Yong smiled and did not ask further.

The next day, rumors spread like wildfire in the company. People avoided Hua Tang when they saw her, but it didn’t stop their whispering.

Hua Tang, naturally, noticed. She guessed that the news of Yin Zhaoyang being beaten had spread. This matter was indeed related to her, so she wouldn’t deny it. However, when the time comes to make her stand, she wouldn’t hesitate!

“Hua Tang, come here!” Her colleague, Wu Qian, called out to her softly.

Hua Tang followed Wu Qian to the corner of the corridor.

Wu Qian was a kind and lively girl. Hua Tang usually had a good relationship with her, and right now, she was the only one concerned about Hua Tang.

Wu Qian looked troubled as she asked, “Hua Tang, did you hear what everyone is saying about you?”

Hua Tang frankly stated, “Because Yin Zhaoyang was beaten up? But there’s a reason for that. I …”

“It’s not just about that!” Wu Qian lowered her voice and asked, “TangTang, are you hiding something from everyone?”
