Shen Mu Yin is the boss, and usually manages it on behalf of Shen Xing Fan.

Su He received news of Yue Long's arrival, and Shen Mu Yin and Shen Xing Fan almost knew at the same time.

They each took a private room next door, openly doing things they shouldn't.

Su He didn't know that her two older brothers had arrived earlier than her.

She just felt that the manager and waitresses of Qinxiang Pavilion were too enthusiastic towards her, as if they wanted to carry her into the private room on a palanquin.

It's probably because Shen Xingfan directly dealt with a batch of people after the last incident!

Su He smiled and declined their offer to take her to a private room, taking the elevator herself.

The elevator quickly went up to the sixteenth floor.

Exiting the elevator, Su He walked in the direction of 1668 according to the sign.

The Sixteenth Floor is only open to specific clients. Su He has never been there before.

An expansive and tranquil corridor stretched before her. Su He walked on the soft floor, as if she were walking on clouds.

After walking in circles for a while, when Su He, who was born with poor directional sense, turned a corner and saw a new signpost, she finally realized she had taken a wrong turn. She had no choice but to turn around and start over again.

Just as Su He had taken a few steps, he suddenly saw a tall and slender figure turn a corner from the corridor in the distance and disappear.

A powerful sense of familiarity, as if it were stimulating blood factors to churn wildly out of control.

Su He's pupils trembled violently, almost instinctively, she moved, raising her foot and chasing after the disappearing figure.

She wore flat shoes and ran very fast, but she was panting heavily when she reached the front. Besides the floor vases in the corridor, there wasn't a single person to be seen

Is she seeing things

Su He leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. She wasn't sure if it was from running too hard or something else, but her heart felt like it was pounding heavily in her chest, as if a drum was beating inside.

That person, is it really Huo Chenxi

Everyone said that Huo Chenxi was driven out of the Huo family and disappeared, but Su He didn't believe that Huo Chenxi would vanish in this way.

She would rather believe that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Huo Chen Xi.

Fearing Shen Xingfan would find out she'd sought out Huo Chenxi, Su He quietly commissioned several private investigation agencies to locate him. The information they provided was largely consistent.

Messages from different sources, however, let Su He know about Huo Chen Xi's predicament.

That weekend, when they made plans to meet, she didn't show up. Huo Chenxi waited for her until very late and got drunk after returning to Xingye Bay.

That day, Qin Shi happened to receive news from Huo Yirou. He took a part of his men to investigate and left half of them behind for Huo Chenxi.

Unexpectedly, Huo Chenyi joined forces with the Shen family to take advantage of the situation. He led his men to forcibly break into Xinyang Bay Villa and forcefully took away Huo Chenxi, who was drunk and unconscious.

Huo Chenyi got news from somewhere that Huo Chenxi was not Huo Yao's biological son. He took the opportunity to have a paternity test done for Huo Chenxi and his grandfather.

The conclusion came out, just as he had heard. Huo Chenxi was not of the Huo family bloodline.

Probably because he was tired of being overshadowed by Huo Chenxi's brilliance for so many years, Huo Chenyi went mad and tormented Huo Chenxi. In the end, he even threw him onto the street and let his men run him over with a car.

When Qin arrived, Huo Chenxi was already on his last breath. He could only breathe in but not out.

Qin swiftly sent Huo Chenxi to Jianya Hospital and pleaded with the head doctor to personally contact Shen Yueze for surgery.

That day, she happened to be in Zhao Binrui's car when it got into an accident. Shen Yueze chose to operate on her and disappeared from the hospital.

All surveillance was compromised, and it's impossible to determine who took Huo Chenxi.

Su He's people tracked Qin Shi for a while, confirming that Qin Shi was also looking for Huo Chen Xi in secret, but didn't know his whereabouts.

Even though she knew Huo Chenxi falling into Huo Chenyue's hands had nothing to do with her, Su He still felt a bit guilty. After all, Huo Chenxi got drunk and took advantage of the situation, and Shen Yueze didn't give Huo Chenxi treatment because of her.

It's not that I blame myself, it's just that I feel he shouldn't have lost to Huo Chenyi like that.

Even for Granny Huo's sake, she had to find Huo Chenxi.

With a light sigh, Su He looked at the deserted corridor and turned to walk in another direction.

Finally found the private room.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door. After a while, there was a sound from inside the private room, as if someone was speaking.

Su He hadn't heard clearly, but she thought that Long Mao's words under her breath were in a foreign language, allowing her to enter.

She reached out and pushed the door open.

In the smoke-filled private room, a group of men lay sprawled on the floor, bruised and battered, their fates uncertain.

Beside the coffee table strewn with empty bottles, stood a tall and sturdy man who seemed full of life. He was standing on one leg atop the table, one hand on his hip, and the other holding the head of a rather plump man with a flower tattoo. He slammed the tattooed man's head against the marble tabletop again and again.

Where the tattooed man’s head touched the coffee table, there was already a faint stain of dark red blood.

In the corner behind the tea table, a person was dimly seated there.

The light was dim, illuminating the way it rested on his casually crossed legs.

The impeccably ironed black trousers, with their hand-stitched black leather shoes gleaming in the light, inexplicably exuded a certain chill.

Su He couldn't see his face, but she had a feeling of déjà vu.

The man standing by the tea table suddenly looked up, his eyes like a bloodthirsty beast, dangerously fixed on her, releasing a strong killing intent. Su He shivered involuntarily, frightened by it.

Without even taking a closer look, Su He almost instinctively turned around and wanted to run.

Before she had taken two steps, the beastly dangerous man had rushed over, clamping his hands onto her shoulders as if he wanted to crush her collarbone. He dragged her into the private room with brute force.

"I walked into the wrong room," Su He feigned composure, turning her head away from him and explaining in a measured tone, "I didn't see anything."

"Only the dead keep secrets!" The man narrowed his eyes, dangerously staring at Su He, taking a step closer to her.

As Su He sensed a man's shadow approaching, she finally turned around to see the obvious killing intent in his eyes. She started to retreat, but accidentally stepped on a body on the ground, unsure if it was dead or alive, almost tripping over it.

It seems this matter can't be easily resolved.

"I won't tell anyone." Su He took a deep breath and proactively offered, "You're handling so many people here, wanting to leave no trace at all is impossible. Let me go, and I'll help you deal with the remaining traces."

The killing intent on the man's face dissipated slightly after Su He spoke, but he still guardedly looked at her: "Why should I believe you"

Su He immediately realized that this man was not from City A.

After New Year's Eve, few people in City A didn't know her.

Just as Su He was about to explain, a cold and low voice slowly came: "Agree to her and let her go."

The man who was originally full of murderous intent heard this and didn't hesitate at all. He stepped aside, letting out a path, and looked at Su He indifferently.

Su He quickly glanced at the corner of the sofa. The light was still dim, but he could vaguely see the man's sharp and thin jawline, angular and cold with an unapproachable indifference.sn't recovered well.
