Chapter 805: Chapter 804: Can’t Bear to Let Go Chapter 805: Chapter 804: Can’t Bear to Let Go He had tried so hard to make her fall in love with him, it would be better to die than to push her away himself.
So all the efforts and arrangements Huo Beijiang made before crumbled to pieces, and he was not someone who always backed down; since he had decided, it was time for him to take the initiative.
Thinking this, a trace of dark and unclear emotion flickered in his lowered eyes.
“I don’t need your protection–I can protect myself.”
“You don’t know, it’s very dangerous around me.” he said, lifting his eyebrows at Nan Fei, his expression showing no fear of the danger.
He was someone who dealt with danger on a regular basis and was highly sensitive to it. It was only previously due to his father’s deliberate concealment that the people around him had been put in danger, and he swore it would never happen again.
“I’m not afraid!” Maybe she had been foolish, deceived, and naive before. But she had never been afraid, not in her past life, and certainly not in this one.
Huo Beijiang faced Nan Fei’s clear, steadfast eyes, feeling an infinite satisfaction and pride.
“Truly worthy of being my little wife, so brave.”
Nan Fei rolled her eyes at him; his phrase sounded too smug, as if she wouldn’t be brave if she weren’t his little wife. Struggling out of his embrace, Nan Fei squatted in front of the bike, asking seriously, “Tell me, how could my sister’s bike be in the alley across from your house?”
This puzzle made it impossible for her to figure out and scared her from thinking deeper.
She was terrified that Yuan Xueshan’s death had something to do with Zhuanzhuan. If so, how could she face Bei Jiang, how could she face Granny Huo?
Huo Beijiang had already seen through her thoughts and shook his head lightly, his expression serious.
“It’s not, don’t overthink it. I already know who did it.”
“That’s good!” Nan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held confusion as she looked at the bicycle. She suddenly remembered that when Sun Lu had died, Zhuanzhuan was a witness. Indeed, Zhuanzhuan’s bike was directly opposite the Huo house.
Could Zhuanzhuan have become a witness again?
She turned her head, looking at Huo Beijiang with confusion.
“I already know who the murderer is. It’s best not to look for the witness before the murderer is caught, lest there be a risk of them being silenced,” he said.
Huo Beijiang’s words made Nan Fei startle, a wave of guilt washing over her. It was all because of her own paranoia, which had nearly endangered Zhuanzhuan’s safety. She must not have such needless doubts next time.
“What should we do with this bike then?”
“Leave it here!” Huo Beijiang picked up a black bag not far away, “Come on! I’ll take you out to eat, then send you home.”
“I have to go to the county hospital, my dad is still there.”
During the previous confrontation, Huo Linong had been injured. Last night, Lu Jin had stayed there, and Ning Di had been sent out on a task by him, and there were still some matters that needed to be discussed face to face.
The two headed to the breakfast stall they had visited before and ordered a portion of dumplings and the Qi Li Town’s special sesame pancake.
The old man selling the breakfast, seeing Huo Beijiang’s red eyes, exclaimed, “Bei Jiang! How are you doing now?”
No one had expected such a thing to happen to the Huo Family. What had been a good family was now scattered, and Qi Li Town no longer had such a good Huo family. Initially, if it were not for Principal Huo coming to the town to start a school, Qi Li Town wouldn’t be as it is now.
“I’m fine!” Huo Beijiang held the chopsticks and tugged at the corner of his mouth towards the old man, “Grandpa, how’s your business?”
