Gu Heng remained expressionless, looking at me with a gloomy expression: "But if I get involved, you might not be able to handle it so smoothly."
I laughed in exasperation: "So, I should thank you?"
“Shen Yan, why are you being so sarcastic? I’m sincere towards you.” Gu Heng frowned. “Shen Yan, Huo Yubai can’t protect you. He’s offended a lot of people to become the president of Huo’s Group. You think things are calm now because those people are waiting for news of Huo Yubai’s serious illness. But if you insist on saving him, you will inevitably become a thorn in the side of many people.”
"Gu Heng, the only person I need to be wary of is you." I broke free from his hand and turned to leave.
"Shen Yan!" Gu Heng caught up with her: "Why don't you understand my good intentions?"
Was he still suffering?
I gave him a cold glare. "Gu Heng, you look really ugly right now."
He froze.
I strode forward.
He left not long ago.
Liang Hui ran over: "Professor Shen, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." I said coldly. "It seems that something bad is bound to happen when we go to the Shen family's old house tomorrow."
Liang Hui asked, puzzled, "What could have happened?"
I gave him a meaningful look and said, "You'll know when you get there."
Liang Hui was stunned for a moment.
"Liang Hui, help me investigate Huo Yubai's affairs thoroughly. Gu Heng mentioned that Huo Yubai has offended many people. See which ones we can resolve. If you need my intervention, let me know." I made the arrangements.
“Professor Shen, President Huo may not like you doing these things for him,” Liang Hui reminded him. “A man like him has a very strong sense of pride.”
“Of course I know.” I explained, “I just wanted to reduce his worries so he could focus on recovering. Gu Heng was right about one thing: if it weren’t for me, by the end of the year, the whole of Xinjing City would probably be filled with news of Huo Yubai’s serious illness.”
In my past life, I didn't pay much attention to Huo Yubai's news.
However, I do know something about his poor health and his search for renowned doctors.
“Okay, I’ll investigate.” Liang Hui nodded.
We found a restaurant, ate, and then went back to the hotel to rest.
at night.
I slept very restlessly.
In my dream, I saw Huo Yubai standing in front of me covered in blood.
I called his name.
He raised his head, but gave a cold laugh: "Yan Yan, have you forgotten me?"
I was stunned: "Huo Yushen?"
"Yan Yan, I'm so heartbroken. You've actually forgotten me." Huo Yushen shed two lines of bloody tears.
I'm a doctor, and I'm used to seeing bloodshed.
But when the person in front of me was someone I had deeply loved, the scene terrified me so much that my whole body went cold.
“I haven’t forgotten you, never.” I walked over.
But he stepped back.
“I didn’t know you were dead. I’ve been hating you for five years in vain. Nobody told me. I didn’t even know you were dead.” I choked up deeply.
Huo Yushen smiled coldly: "Yan Yan, you've forgotten me. I'm so lonely, I hate it so much."
I was stunned.
His expression was no longer so ferocious and terrifying, but instead became desperate and sorrowful.
Gradually, his figure faded away.
"Yushen, don't go!" I cried out. "I still have so much to say to you, Yushen, please, don't go."
But his figure became as thin as a cicada's wing, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke.
I couldn't stop crying.
Finally, I woke up from the dream.
I sat up, covered my face with my hands, and burst into tears.
Huo Yushen is a thorn that dwells in my heart, one I avoid talking about.
Now this thorn is deeply embedded in my heart, turning into a sharp pain.
It bothers me every now and then.
"Yan Yan." The sudden voice startled me.
I looked directly at the sofa, where someone was sitting.
"Huo Yubai, how did you end up here, and why did you sneak into my room?" I stopped crying, wiped away my tears, and glared at him angrily.
"I came to Haicheng on business. In the past two years, Haicheng has seen a boom in tourism, which has led to hotels being fully booked during holidays. The front desk knew about our relationship, so they gave me the room key," he explained quite naturally.
"Who are you trying to fool?" I turned on the light on the bedside table.
The warm, dim light shone on his handsome and noble face, making him look like a sculpture with clean and perfect lines.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mu Xi. Before Christmas last year, Haicheng, a coastal city with a population of 16 million, saw its population nearly double,” Huo Yubai explained.
I looked at him suspiciously.
“You cried.” His voice was hoarse.
I shook my head.
“I saw it all.” He got up and walked over.
I looked up: "I saw it, why are you still asking?"
He sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome face slightly pale.
His cold fingers gently touched the corner of my eye, and I couldn't help but tremble: "When did you come in?"
“Before you cry,” he replied.
I was annoyed: "Huo Yubai, don't you know there's a difference between men and women? Even if there aren't any other guest rooms, this is the presidential suite, and there's still one room we can sleep in."
"I just wanted to say hello to the owner of the guest room. I heard you crying and I was afraid something had happened to you, so I came in directly." He looked at me pitifully with his dark eyes.
I snorted: "Then you should go back to your room and go to sleep. Don't let it interfere with your business tomorrow."
"Okay, good night." He smiled slightly, got up and left.
I let out a long sigh.
-
The next day.
I got up early, packed my luggage, and prepared to go downstairs.
Huo Yubai's room door was tightly closed. He arrived late last night and probably hadn't gotten up yet, so I didn't want to disturb him.
Liang Hui came upstairs to help me move my luggage.
After going down.
We saw Huo Yubai in front of the car.
"Weren't you sleeping?" I asked, surprised.
"Three hours of sleep is enough for me." He smiled slightly. "I just heard Liang Hui say that you're going to Lincheng. My car broke down. How about you give me a ride?"
car broke down?
Could it be such a coincidence?
He took out his phone and showed me a scanned copy of a contract, which indeed contained the Lincheng Old Town Development Plan.
"I really am going there for work this time," he explained earnestly.
"Get in the car." I was too lazy to figure it out.
Huo Yubai asked Liang Hui to load his suitcase into the car.
Then he put his hands back into his coat pockets.
I frowned: "Hold out your hand."
"What are you doing?" he frowned.
“Stretch it out!” I whispered.
He helplessly stretched out his hand.
I touched it; it was ice-cold.
His face was slightly pale.
"Did something happen before you came?" I placed my hand on his wrist to feel his pulse.
He lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine."
"Liang Hui, do you know?" I turned my head.
"I only heard that Mr. Huo's car fell into the river, and officials are still searching for it. It is said that Mr. Huo's body has not yet been found," Liang Hui said.
"Huo Yubai, what are you doing?" I demanded.
He smiled faintly: "Didn't you see? The old city renovation project in Lincheng is extremely profitable, and many people want to win the bid. But I received instructions from above that I must win this bid. They don't want me to succeed, so they want to kill me. I fell into the water and escaped death. If they discover my whereabouts, my life will be in danger."
