hrough his body, both hot and numb.She leaned against the elevator wall helplessly, mocking herself for her poor tolerance of alcohol, drunk after just half a cocktail.The air in the elevator quickly...Night deepened, growing increasingly cold.

The man in black quietly left, leaving only a handful of people behind. Two sat inside the excavator, and one stared intently at Huo Chenxi.

He sneered and reminded, "Young Master Huo, make a decision quickly, they can't hold on much longer."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the two men operating the excavators moved their arms in unison, causing Su He, who was already feeling unwell, to become even more dizzy. His whole body felt like it was about to give out.

Bai Yihuan was awakened by the shaking robotic arm, realizing she was hanging in midair. She was terrified out of her wits. Thankfully, she saw Huo Chenxi appear and cried out desperately, "Save me, Chenxi, save me!"

Huo Chenxi's fingers gradually clenched around the suitcase, raising his gaze to Bai Yihuan who was pleading with him. A trace of pity arose in his heart.

Su He turned her head away, not wanting to look at the way they were gazing at each other. Her gaze fell on the moonlight outside the window, but she noticed a figure silently approaching from outside.

Some of the uneasiness in my heart dissipated.

She turned her head to look at Huo Chenxi, who was locked in a standoff with the man in black. She was just about to speak up for help and buy some time when Huo Chenxi suddenly moved.

"Let her go!"

Under the urging of the man in black, Huo Shenxi raised his finger and made a

choice.

Su He's pupils trembled violently. Words of plea reached her lips, but there was no need to utter them.

Because, Huo Chen Xi chose to save her!

"Ho Chenxi!" Bai Yihuan screamed, her voice filled with anguish and hatred. "Look where you are! Your brother is watching you. Do you think this is right for your brother"

Huo Chenxi, who was barely holding on, was struck hard by Bai Yihuan's question. His steps faltered, and his entire body swayed precariously.

He slowly lifted his head, the moonlight falling on his thin face. Su He only then noticed that his lips were almost as pale as his skin, his eyes hollow and mournful, looking like a man on the brink of death.

Su He's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Ho Chenxi had once been kidnapped, and to help him escape, Bai Yixiao's brother, Bai Yizhao, died before his eyes.

Before Huo Yirou spoke of it, Su He was unwilling to let this matter shake her resolve.

But seeing Huo Chenxi's expression at this moment, Su He finally understood what Huo Yirou meant when she said he hadn't completely moved on.

"Young Master Huo, go pick up the person you chose." The black-clothed man smiled contentedly, his gaze strangely fixed on the dark corner in the upper right, "Push the suitcase over here!"

Bai Yihuan was still ranting, but the originally swaying robotic arm started to move.

She only felt her body rising higher and higher, further and further from the ground, and the despair in her heart grew more and more intense.

Huo Chenxi pushed the suitcase toward the man in black, gritting his teeth and taking large strides towards Su He.

Just about five meters high, Su He's arm holding the rope suddenly stopped moving. Su He and Bai Yihuan hung in mid-air in a strange posture, one above the other.

A deathly silence hung in the air, broken only by the rolling of suitcase wheels on the floor.

The sound of the wheels rolling disappeared in the next second.

The man in black got the suitcase, tapped it with his finger, and then grinned dangerously.

"Click, click,"

A barely audible sound, the air trembled slightly as the excavator's iron claw loosened its grip.

Suddenly, Su He's body fell uncontrollably, the wind whistling past her ears.

"Ah—" On the other end, Bai Yihuan's body also slid down rapidly, her scream like a sharp knife cutting through the night.

Huo Chenxi was close to Su He, and almost instinctively reached out to catch the quickly falling Su He.

And almost at the same time, a white figure shot over like lightning, pouncing to the ground and using its back to block Su He.

In the instant before he fell, he kicked Huo Chenxi hard. Huo Chenxi was caught off guard and flew backwards, his body crashing into Bai Yihuan who was falling.

But Bai Yihuan, because of this collision, changed direction and landed in a trash can not far away.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people couldn't even react.

Even the black-clad figure who had orchestrated it all watched in disbelief at the scene before him.

What should have been a result of two deaths, one injury, or even three deaths was forcibly destroyed.

But that person appeared silently, without a sound. They didn't notice him at all.

"Big brother!" Su He gritted his teeth, enduring the agonizing pain throughout his body. He let out a shout, but his voice was weak, almost a whisper.

She struggled to flip off Shen Rufeng's body, asking in a voice as thin as smoke, "Are you alright"

Shen Rujing felt a surge of heat in her throat, afraid that Su He would be worried, she swallowed it back hard. Her voice was hoarse as she replied, "It's nothing, don't worry!"

He took a deep breath, struggling to sit up. He reached out and tucked Su He's stray hair behind her ear, saying softly, "If you're tired, just close your eyes and sleep. Big brother will take you home."

Su He, barely holding on, turned her head to see Huo Chen Xi swaying and trying to make his way over. She glanced at the silent trash can, a strained smile tugging at her lips, before everything went black.

The man in black raised his gun and pointed it at Shen Ruifeng: "Busybody, you're looking for death!"

A red dot suddenly flashed in the darkness at the top right corner.

"Don't touch him!" a harsh voice barked in the earpiece of the man in black.

The man in black stared at Shen Ruifeng in astonishment. Finally, gritting his teeth, he took his suitcase and turned to leave.

In three minutes.

Shen Zhaolin and the police rushed to the scene.

When Su He woke up, she felt like her bones had been crushed, the pain so intense that even breathing was a torture.

Seeing her open her eyes, Gu Qingcheng, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, could no longer hold back. Big tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Nannan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well!"

Su He wanted to comfort her, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

After trying for so long, she finally managed to find her voice: "It's okay. Big brother"

Gu Qingcheng understood her meaning, and tears fell even harder.

Luckily, Shen Xingfan came over. Seeing Su He awake, he knew she was worried about Shen Rufeng, so he quickly said: "Big brother is in the next room. He only broke a few ribs, it's nothing serious."

How can you say it's no big deal when you broke a few ribs

Su He's already pale face turned almost deathly white, his fingers trembling nervously with worry.

Shen Xingfan comforted: "It's really okay. Compared to Huo Chenxi's internal bleeding and Bai Yi's cerebral hemorrhage, you and Big Brother are already very lucky."

Ho Chenxi internal bleeding

Su He couldn't help but think of Huo Chen Xi being kicked away, and his heart felt even heavier.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Su He's face and quietly sighed, comforting her: "Don't listen to your second brother talk nonsense. Huo Shao's injury is not life-threatening, it's fine."

Su He wanted to explain that she wasn't worried about Huo Chen Xi, but she was too tired and could only let Gu Qing Cheng misunderstand.

"So Huo Shao chose to save you instead of Bai Yihuan" Shen Xingfan only then remembered the police investigation at the scene and worriedly asked, "You wouldn't have fallen for him again, would you"

Su He nodded lightly, then shook her head, leaving Shen Xingfan utterly confused.

Gu Qingcheng finally let out a breath and gently patted Su He's hand.

Su He watched Gu Qingcheng silently.

She herself hadn't expected that, between her and Bai Yihuan, Huo Chenxi would choose her without hesitation.
