I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 110: Called in (5)

Once they left, it was only Bing Lan and Hua Rong who were remaining in the room.

By all rights, Hua Rong should have shown Lin Fan off since that was her duty, but she abandoned that duty to stay in the room.

So it was clear that there was something that was on her mind.

Bing Lan didn't say anything when everyone else was here, but once they were alone, she asked, "Is something wrong?"

Though she asked this, Hua Rong still hesitated to speak.

After a short silence, she took a deep breath and said, "Why did you protect him? There's no reason to give someone like him special treatment."

Bing Lan's expression didn't change at all when she heard this, she didn't even bat an eyelash in the face of this question.

Seeing this, Hua Rong couldn't help asking, "Are you…"

She didn't finish her sentence, but the tone of her voice was more than enough to fill in the gaps.

Bing Lan finally reacted when she heard this. She revealed a faint smile as she looked at Hua Rong before saying, "It's not like that, not one bit."

Hua Rong didn't look relieved hearing that, but rather she slightly knitted her brows again.

Bing Lan saw this, so she said in a slow voice, "He's useful, that's all."

A trace of confusion appeared in Hua Rong's eyes after she heard this before she turned to look in the direction that they had left in.

Bing Lan then followed up by saying, "There's something about him that tells me that he'll be useful to our guild in the future. I know that you might think otherwise, but you'll just have to trust my judgement on that."

When Bing Lan said all of this, it really was hard for Hua Rong to say anything.

But the look in her eyes made it clear that she still thought otherwise.

Bing Lan gave a sigh and didn't continue with this topic.

Instead, she pulled up the documents that she was looking at earlier on her computer and turned it for Hua Rong.

Hua Rong didn't notice at first since she was focused on the Lin Fan matter, but then she came over to see what Bing Lan was showing her.

When she saw what was on the screen, she couldn't help being surprised.

However, she didn't act rashly.

She took her time to read through the information on the screen before looking up and asking, "This is?"

Bing Lan gave a sigh before saying, "There's something suspicious about this person that I want you to check."

Hua Rong knitted her brows when she heard this.

If it was any other time, she might not have hesitated and questioned Bing Lan's orders, but the timing was just too coincidental that she couldn't help questioning it.

After all, Bing Lan suddenly brought this up after she had met Lin Fan alone…

After a pause, Hua Rong asked, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Is it because of…him?"

Bing Lan was surprised since Hua Rong normally would have just followed her orders without a word, but this time she had actually said something.

It was clear just how much Hua Rong distrusted Lin Fan, but that wasn't strange after all. There were many things that were against him and with this newest incident, naturally she would distrust him.

Still, that was not a problem that could be solved that easily.

Bing Lan just calmly said, "He did bring this matter to my attention."

"Guild master, this is…"

Before Hua Rong could finish though, Bing Lan's eyes turned cold and she said, "But even if he brought it up, do you think that I would act on that alone? Do you take me for a fool?"

The moment that Hua Rong heard this, she couldn't help giving a shiver.

But at the same time, there was a strange glow that appeared in her eyes.

It almost seemed like she was…excited…

After a moment of silence, Hua Rong slowly shook her head.

Bing Lan had been waiting for this, so she continued by saying, "Can you tell me that you don't see anything strange about this? You're telling me that it all seems normal?"

Once again, Hua Rong slowly shook her head.

Since that was the case, Bing Lan just said, "Then just do what I tell you to do. There's no need for you to question me."

After receiving this order, there was a faint blush that appeared on Hua Rong's face and she couldn't help letting out a soft breath.

She took a moment to calm herself down before saying, "Guild master, I will handle this. Please don't worry about anything."

Bing Lan just gave a nod before waving her hand to dismiss Hua Rong.

She leaned back in her chair and gave a sigh once Hua Rong was gone.

It really was hard being the guild master, having to worry about all of these things. Even though she was still single, she had to worry about her little sister's love, the relationship between her subordinates, and all these things.

She really didn't have any time to think about her love life…and she was slowly getting older and older.

If she waited too long, she might run out of time…

That was something that she was truly afraid of.

But the problem was that she hadn't found a good man yet.

The only one that could be considered good and exciting was this Lin Fan, but he was already claimed by her little sister…

So where would she find one for herself?

Bing Lan gave one more sigh before turning her attention back to her work.

Since she didn't have a love life to worry about, she would just sink herself into her work.

This might be called escapism, but there was nothing that she could do.

After Hua Rong left the office, she made sure that she was alone.

Then her legs suddenly gave out under her and she fell on her butt, but there was an ecstatic look on her face as she said, "I didn't deserve that reward. That pressure just now, it was something else…it really made my legs go soft and my stomach churn…Ah, I didn't deserve that reward."

After she was like this for a bit, Hua Rong's ecstatic look slowly disappeared as it was replaced by an aggrieved look.

"That Lin Fan, he thinks that he can move into my territory after all these years? After all my years with Lan Lan, he wants to steal her from me? I will never let that happen." There was a trace of hatred that appeared in Hua Rong's eyes when she said this.

After that, she slowly took out a pendant from inside of her blouse.

This was a pendant that she had kept by her heart and was in the shape of a heart.

When she opened it, it revealed a picture of…Bing Lan.

Looking at this, Hua Rong said with a happy smile, "Ah, Lan Lan, I can't wait until you're mine…"

Bing Lan really was unlucky when it came to love…

Not only was she not able to attract a good man, the one that she did attract was this helpless woman with a dangerous side to her…

She really was unlucky in love…
