"The scene was very messy. The house seemed to have been thoroughly rummaged through, but nothing valuable was missing." Gu Xiangdong, who had gone to investigate, answered truthfully.
After saying this, Xia's father frowned: "Did they get discovered before they had time to take it away?" What else could the thief have after entering the house?
"It's possible, but no fingerprints left by the thieves were found at the scene. Rather than them coming prepared, further investigation is needed. Uncle Xia, we want to make a record. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Um... do you want to go to the police station?" His wife hadn't woken up yet, and Xia's father was a little worried.
Gu Xiangdong shook his head: "No, it's not necessary. I can just do a simple thing with uncle here."
Watching them take notes, Xia Baoer pulled a stiff person out.
As soon as she went out, her petite body was pressed against the wall. She was so frightened that her little face looked angry and ashamed, "You, what do you want to do! This is a hospital."
Nan Muli's cold and charming face was bent down, and his eyes were very murderous.
Being stared at so directly by him, Xia Baoer's heart almost jumped out of her heart. She pushed him with her soft little hands, and she softly explained: "Don't be angry. I didn't mean to forget you. I'm too nervous."
"I don't want to hear any explanation."
"Nani! You..."
"I'm not angry either."
"..." The little face was embarrassed. Looking at his charming face and fiery eyes, the palm of a certain hand pressed against his heart trembled, just like her restless heartbeat. It made people confused.
"Then, don't be so cold-faced, it looks scary."
"Anyway, you'll have to get used to it one day." He curled his lips, and his evil smile made his whole body exude masculine charm. Some people were stunned.
When he smiles at her like this, she really looks good...
In vain, his lips gently fell on her white forehead, and his low voice sank into her heart, "You can rely on me in the future."
Her extremely tender eyes made her blush, and she shyly nestled into his arms without saying a word.
"little things,"
"Don't call me Jiang Zi."
"Huh? What do you call me?"
"You're not allowed to call me that anyway."
"Why?"
"Because... hum, I won't tell you." She straightened her face and hurriedly pushed him away, "Let me go. They took notes last night."
Narrowing his eyes, Nan Muli pinched her blushing face, and held her hand domineeringly when she left his side. She couldn't shake her away, and finally had to let him hold her while blushing.
The two of them walked inside. At the door, Nan Muli pinched the back of her hand gently before letting go.
Quickly glaring at the successful man, Xia Baoer snorted and turned around to ignore him, causing the man behind him to smile.
I took notes and it was already very late.
Father Xia looked a little tired. He looked at his father distressedly and said softly: "My Lord, we can't go back home for the time being. I asked the hospital for an extra bed for you to rest first."
"What about you?" Father Xia patted his daughter's little hand and smiled warmly.
Shaking her little head, she hummed, "I'm not sleepy anymore. My lord, you go and rest. I'll stay and take care of mommy."
Xia's father still hesitated. In their hearts, their daughter was still a cute little girl, "But..."
"It's okay. You have been working hard all night and you should go and have a rest." Xia Baoer urged, pushing his father.
Unable to resist his daughter's urging and feeling really tired, Xia's father had no choice but to listen to her words. "Okay, tell daddy if you're sleepy? Do you know?" Xia's father stood up and was about to leave when he saw Nan Mu, who had been standing by the door.
Li was stunned for a moment. He was about to speak. This calm and taciturn man had already spoken.
"I'll accompany her, please don't worry."
Hearing this, Father Xia's heart actually calmed down and he nodded, "I'll trouble you then."
Xia's mother was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and Xia's father lay down on the bed next to her.
After sitting in the ward for a while, Xia Baoer quietly left after his father fell asleep.
This is a quiet place, especially late at night, and the dimly lit corridor makes it even more quiet and gloomy.
The night breeze passed gently, and the cool air was flowing. In the stillness of the night, you could even hear a pin drop. Xia Baoer felt her heartbeat, and it seemed that there was an echo, which frightened her.
Think about it, if you stay here alone, you will definitely feel cold.
Sitting on a cold chair by the corridor, she was thinking coldly, when suddenly a hand touched her eyebrows. She was startled slightly and looked up.
"What are you worrying about?" A low and cold voice rose in the silence. Nan Muli was like a knight protecting the princess in the dark night, making people feel safe.
Looking at him blankly, Xia Baoer was surprised to realize that he had frowned unconsciously without noticing.
"Tell me." His expression remained calm, but his tone was so firm.
She was a little dazed, just looking at his handsome face. His expression was always so cold and calm, as if he had a way to solve the problem even if the sky was bad. He looked at her firmly and intently, as if telling her everything.
There is him.
Somehow, with him by her side and seeing him in her eyes, she felt a strong sense of security surrounding her, which brought peace to her anxious heart.
Her little hand slipped into his big palm, and she was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I, I'm a little scared."
Nan Muli was stunned for a moment, and held her small hand tightly with his big hand, waiting silently for her to continue.
"I don't know what to say. Maybe I'm too sensitive. But I always feel very uneasy." After a pause, she continued: "My parents said that those people in the family are not like ordinary thieves."
Nan Muli frowned slightly and looked at her with some confusion.
"Do you remember the first time we met?"
"The first time... the doll in the closet, I will never forget it in my life." Recalling the first time I saw her, she seemed like the doll that appeared out of thin air in his closet. So delicate, cute and fragile. She was indescribable.
When the assistant grabbed his hand and curled up into his arms, the strange feeling of satisfaction of being needed rushed into his heart like a wave, causing ripples to appear in the dead lake of his heart.
That warmth filled his hollow soul. For the first time, the desire he wanted to have was so strong. That's why he violated his principles, willfully and unreasonably packed her away and imprisoned her beside him.
Maybe he never realized that when he really lost her consciousness, he was so eager to have her by his side. For two days and two nights, he wandered downstairs, looking at her in the crowd, and when he knew he couldn't help it, he impulsively ran away.
Entered her room.
"That night? Is it related to them?" He gently wrapped her cold little hand and took her into his arms, giving her the most reliable chest to rely on.
Xia Baoer did not nod in reply.
She doesn't have the same pleasant memories as he did when they first met.
That night was a nightmare for her that she didn't want to recall. She had very bad dreams that were haunting her for several days. Fortunately, during that time, he was by her side to sleep with her every night, so she let her sleep with him every night.
She gradually forgot that terrible scene.
Come to think of it, she had unconsciously become dependent on him for recognition.
She recounted what happened that day. She just heard that when Gu Xiangdong was recording his father's confession, he seemed to mention foreigners in black suits, and she couldn't stop thinking about it.
If you think about it carefully, they are not a wealthy family. Gu Xiangdong also said that no valuables were lost at home. It was obvious that those people were looking for something.
Her scalp was numb, and she seemed to be connected to something. They...couldn't they have come to find her specifically? It had been so long since that incident, and she had returned to her own country, and she had not exposed what happened that night to the police.
What? There is no threat to those people at all? Do you have to go all the way across the ocean to kill her and silence her?
Maybe she was too sensitive and thought too much. She was doubtful and rejected at the same time, and her face turned a transparent white.
Suddenly, a big hand crossed the back of her head, pressing her worried little face into his warm chest. A low voice said, "I'm here."
The two short words escaped from his deep voice and were transmitted to her eardrums like a centering spell.
She listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and her broad chest was like a safe haven, which made her feel at ease. She raised her eyes slightly and looked into his lowered eyes, and those deep pool-like black eyes became so warm.
Xia Baoer couldn't help but feel confused. For a moment, she had the illusion that the handsome and tall man in front of her was a god, her patron saint. As long as she stayed in this sheltered harbor with peace of mind, no matter how strong the wind, rain or storm, or the violent tide, she would be there.
Don't worry.
She suddenly stretched her beautiful eyebrows, her sad black eyes curved into a crescent shape, her bright smile was like the twinkling light of stars. Her pink lips touched the lovely pear dimples, and her soft voice fell into him softly and sweetly.
Heart: "Thank you."
Staring into her bright eyes, Nan Muli frowned slightly, "I don't want your thank you."
"Uh." Xia Baoer was stunned for a moment, then raised her chin and looked at his gentle face. She blushed, stood up on tiptoes and approached his strong chin, and kissed him proactively with a pop. Then her face changed even more.
Hong quickly buried her little head in his arms and muttered something vaguely.
Someone was like a big bad wolf who was not satisfied with getting a bargain. Looking at her little red face with a natural halo, his eyes narrowed mischievously. His heart seemed to be kissed by her soft and warm lips, itching.
Yes, the sweetness is imprinted on it.
The next second, he raised her chin and cast his persistent gaze on her, "I didn't quite understand what you just said."
The little boy in his arms froze, pinched him depressedly and muttered, "The bad guy obviously heard me."
He is as lazy as a tiger, his smile is so charming that you feel uncontrollably threatened by him.
"I...I said I like you a little bit." The unwilling voice was as soft as the buzzing of mosquitoes, but it was still audible clearly in the quiet corridor.
There was a surge in his heart, but he was not satisfied yet.
Squinting his eyes, his dangerously thin lips curled up
Seeing the protest and hateful warning in his deep eyes, a certain person changed his words very wisely, "I like you."
"Not loud enough."
"Uh..." Bastard!
A certain big bad wolf who was looking at the aggressive one was cursing in his heart! Her eyes wandered, dodging his somewhat aggressive gaze.
Someone was silent, but his burning eyes locked her tightly.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
One of them was finally defeated, pouting in frustration. His burning eyes made her look astonished!
Humph! She knew that this man was greedy. It was best not to take the initiative in doing anything that was beneficial to him. Otherwise, he would only ask for more, more...
Her smart eyes rolled around. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and yawned in an exaggerated way, pretending to mutter tiredly. "Oh, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."
The air was quiet and silent for a few seconds.
Finally, a certain man who couldn't bear it took her into his arms, took off his suit and covered her up, defeated by her sweet lie.
The little woman with her eyes closed secretly smiled in triumph.
***……
In a hotel room
A burly Western man in a crisp suit was in danger, using a video phone to communicate with the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"Boss, we found the girl's address. But... we didn't find anything."
"Are you sure the tracking location is correct?" The person at the other end of the video looked slightly stunned and seemed a little annoyed.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong. The last satellite signal transmitted by GPS is 100% certain to be that house."
"No matter what method you use! I just want to get the chip as soon as possible!" The time is limited and there can be no further delay. He gave the order forcefully with a stern face.
"The police have been alerted tonight. There may be some inconvenience in recent operations! Can you give us a little more time?"
"Stay there. If the locator sends out a signal again, you must find the chip as soon as possible. Also, keep an eye on that girl! Don't blame me for being cruel if you let her run away again!"
The man trembled with his burly body, not daring to show any resistance and replied: "Yes!"
Anderu on the other end of the phone cut off the conversation with his subordinates, his face full of disappointed anger.
That old fox He Canglan called and said that the engagement had been published in the media. It seemed that the marriage had been basically implemented. However, he had not yet obtained the chip and the delay in developing new products made him more and more anxious.
Fortunately, the chip is equipped with a cutting-edge GPS sensor. As long as any technological electronic device is activated, the chip will sense and emit satellite signals. After waiting for a long time, they finally tracked the city.
This time, no matter what means he uses, he will never allow any more mistakes!
***……
The hands of the clock on the wall pointed to four-fifty, which brought the day's work to an end.
Xia Baoer had already finished the work at hand. She hummed a tune happily and started to tidy up her desk. She moved very neatly and quickly, as if she couldn't wait to get off work.
She was quite nervous when she came to work. Firstly, she was afraid that Nan Muli would stop her in every possible way, but Lan Yu had already given her a small plate of water squid. Unexpectedly, Nan Muli got up early and bought her breakfast and other things.
On the other side, he actually got out!
She really regretted it. If she really had anything to do with him, she wouldn't want to do it in the future.
Humming in her heart, she packed her things, looked at the time, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Bingo, it’s exactly five o’clock, so she can get out of the way before the person notices the secretary’s arrival, yes!
But, as an eternal law, reality always backfires—
When she stood up, grabbed her bag and looked up to see Secretary Wang walking towards her, she had a very bad feeling in her heart.
"Xia Baoer, the president wants to see you for something."
