Huo Yunxiao tightened his grip on Shen Mu’s arm and spoke in a tone that Ou Jin had never heard before, gentle and soft, “I’m sorry I’m late.”
Shen Mu smiled and then tilted her head, completely fainting in Huo Yunxiao’s arms.
“Ou Jin!” Huo Yunxiao shouted.
Ou Jin hurried over to check and said, “The drug hasn’t worn off yet, she’s just exhausted and fainted, don’t worry.”
Han Cheng walked over with a pale-faced Zhang Zong and asked, “CEO, what should we do?”
Huo Yunxiao turned his head and gave Zhang Zong a glance, his eyes dark and bottomless like a whirlpool.
With just one glance, Zhang Zong was so scared that he kept kowtowing on the ground, “CEO! CEO! It’s not me! I didn’t know she was your person! I…”
Huo Yunxiao said coldly, “Cut off his hands and feet and send him to prison.”
“CEO! CEO!” Zhang Zong cried and howled, but Huo Yunxiao didn’t even look back at him.
At the hospital, Ou Jin did a detailed examination of Shen Mu, gave her a shot, and bandaged her up before returning to the office.
Huo Yunxiao looked up at him and his tone was somewhat unstable, “How is she?”Ou Jin took off his white coat and said, “Don’t worry, they’re all external injuries, just scary-looking, and added up they’re not as serious as the wound on her wrist.”
Huo Yunxiao’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly before he asked, “How many injuries?”
Ou Jin was taken aback, “I didn’t count, there were more than ten, scratches, whip marks, and bruises.”
Huo Yunxiao’s cold lips twitched and he said in a low voice, “Good, Shen family, very good.”
Ou Jin shivered slightly.
Huo Yunxiao had been in a high position for too long, and almost no one dared to provoke his anger.
However, this time, Ou Jin keenly sensed that Shen Mu’s injury had angered Huo Yunxiao.
Ou Jin reminded him softly, “Yunxiao, cutting off someone’s hands and feet is already the harshest punishment. In this environment, we can’t attract any more attention.”
Huo Yunxiao placed his cup on the marble table, making a crisp sound like a silver needle falling to the ground, but it made people inexplicably frightened.
He said, “I haven’t touched blood for a few years, and these people have forgotten who is in charge of the black and white world in Bin Hai City!”
The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it felt like there was no light at all.
Suddenly, a nurse pushed the door open and stuttered, “Director… Miss Shen has woken up.”Huo Yunxiao stood up and strode out of the office, with Han Cheng following closely behind.
Huo Yunxiao walked to the door of the ward.
The little girl who had been weak just now was sitting on the bed, talking to the nurse with a smile.
“Han Cheng,” Huo Yunxiao suddenly spoke up, “I’ll give you three days. I want all the information about Shen Mu from her childhood until now.”
He had thought that Shen Mu was just not favored in the Shen family, but now it seemed that it was more than that.
The Shen family wanted her dead!
Huo Yunxiao pushed open the door and walked into the ward.
Shen Mu was holding a cup in her hand, drinking water in small sips.
Her small face was red and steaming, cute and lovely, nothing like the female demon who had almost strangled a burly man that Huo Yunxiao had seen when he barged into the room.
“Shen Mu,” Huo Yunxiao called her.
Shen Mu was startled for a moment, looked up at Huo Yunxiao, and smiled with raised eyebrows and eyes, “Mr. Huo, you’re still here.”
Huo Yunxiao walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, asking, “Is there anything else uncomfortable? Ou Jin is here, let him take a look.”
Shen Mu shook her head, “No, they’re all skin injuries.”She smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, showing no weakness.
But Huo Yunxiao’s heart ached inexplicably.
Normally, a girl who had experienced this would break down and cry, but for Shen Mu, it seemed like an everyday occurrence.
What kind of life did Shen Mu live before she met Huo Yunxiao?
Huo Yunxiao raised his hand and gently rubbed the hair on her head with his warm palm, as if coaxing a wronged child, saying, “Little girl, you’re hurt, you need to learn to cry out in pain.”
Shen Mu was stunned, and her eyes suddenly became sour.
From childhood to adulthood, she grew up in K continent.
As long as she didn’t lose an arm or a leg, it was just a skin injury.
She was the ace of the organization, the undefeated myth of K continent, and the last person who should cry out in pain.
Today, she woke up and saw Huo Yunxiao, feeling very happy.
She thought she was really awesome, surviving this kind of thing was just too happy.
But Huo Yunxiao reminded her that she was hurt and should cry out in pain.
She suddenly felt a bit aggrieved and scared.
Reason told her that Qin Mu shouldn’t be like this.
She should remain calm and unshaken.
But Huo Yunxiao’s reminder almost forced her to shed tears and turned her into a fragile little girl.This man was tirelessly trying to penetrate into her heart and break down the high wall that stood between them.
Shen Mu’s eyes were clear and her expression was calm as she said, “It doesn’t really hurt, Xiaoshang.”
Huo Yunxiao keenly sensed the guard in Shen Mu’s eyes.
She wore a thick shell and didn’t allow anyone to expose her strength.
But those clear eyes were obviously tinged with redness, like a little rabbit who had been wronged.
Shen Mu took a sip of water and asked, “Where is Zhang?”
Huo Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you want to handle it?” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Shen Mu nodded, “Of course, this is my business, and also Shen Qingxue’s. I’ll take care of it.”
Huo Yunxiao had long known that Shen Mu was different from others.
She was not a dependent little girl, but a leader.
“Okay, when you feel better, I’ll take you to see him,” Huo Yunxiao said.
Shen Mu lowered her head and drank water in silence for a long time before saying, “Mr. Huo, don’t be so good to me.”
Huo Yunxiao smiled, “Is this being good to you?”
Shen Mu was stunned.
Of course it was!
She had never experienced what it was like to be in a romantic relationship before, and now a handsome and wealthy man was treating her with such care and concern.
Wasn’t that good enough?Huo Yunxiao said again, “So you can feel that I’m good to you.”
Shen Mu hesitated for a moment before swallowing her words back.
With her way of thinking, she could only come up with the idea that Huo Yunxiao was bored with his life and was looking for fun with her.
After all, even someone with poor eyesight like Huo Yunxiao could see the scar on her face.
But even if this man was looking for fun, Shen Mu felt a sense of danger.
Huo Yunxiao didn’t insist and said, “Rest well. We’ll talk about other things later.”
Shen Mu made a sound of agreement and obediently lay down to sleep.
After Huo Yunxiao left, Shen Mu reached for her phone under the pillow and turned on the tracker.
As long as she didn’t see the body with her own eyes, she still held a glimmer of hope!
Ou Jin was bored in the office and finally waited for Huo Yunxiao to come back.
She teasingly asked, “Yunxiao, are your peach blossoms blooming too fast? Are you inseparable?”
Huo Yunxiao shook his head helplessly.
“Half open.”
“What does half open mean?” Ou Jin asked.
Huo Yunxiao hesitated for a moment and said, “Only open on my side.”He had fallen for a girl for the first time and was wholeheartedly good to her.
But Shen Mu was too aware of his kindness, and her guard was getting stronger, always quietly creating distance, making Huo Yunxiao somewhat headache.
Ou Jin choked.
As the great CEO Huo’s brother, it was embarrassing that he couldn’t make Shen Mu see the light.
It was time for him to step in and praise Huo Yunxiao’s heroic deeds in saving people today!
