Mo Yan stared at Huo Zhen for a long time. The anxiety that she had felt earlier had also eased by quite a bit because of his appearance.
However, there was still a burden in her heart that was weighing her down.
“Luo Tao, who exactly are you?”
Mo Yan held back for some time before deciding to go straight to the point. She looked into Luo Tao’s eyes and enunciated each word clearly.
“The person who kidnapped me said that you are Huo Zhen. He can use me to blackmail you and make a lot of money.”
Huo Zhen’s eyes darkened, and his originally relaxed brows furrowed once more.
Mo Yan exhaled and continued, “I’ve never met Huo Zhen before, but I know that he’s a famous business magnate with wealth beyond my imagination.”
Huo Zhen silently regarded Mo Yan, waiting for her to continue.
“I thought such a person was far away from me, but thinking about it, I don’t know much about you. Plus, you deliberately hid a part of it…”
She composed herself and turned to Huo Zhen. “So, are you him?”
Although Mo Yan looked determined, her heart was pounding like a drum. If Luo Tao denied that he was Huo Zhen, what should she do?
She couldn’t force him to admit it, but she would probably be even more disappointed?
She closed her eyes in agony.
“Yes, I’m Huo Zhen.”
Mo Yan abruptly raised her head. She hadn’t expected Huo Zhen to admit it so readily.
This was an identity that he had painstakingly guarded for a long time.
Huo Zhen held on to Mo Yan’s arm with great strength. It was as if he wanted to crush her into pieces and fuse with her.
“But you have to believe me. I’m not deliberately hiding it. I’ve also been looking for an opportunity to tell you.”
Huo Zhen stated clearly, staring into Mo Yan’s eyes.
At first, he did indeed not know of the Mo family’s intention to suddenly marry off their daughter, so he had borrowed the fake identity of Luo Tao, but…
“I only used the name, Luo Tao, to lie to you.”
As Huo Zhen spoke, he got closer to Mo Yan. His breath landed on Mo Yan’s nose, and the girl curiously blushed.
She was originally angry that Huo Zhen had lied to her, but she immediately crumbled under his affectionate gaze.
Not only did he say it nicely, but he was also gorgeous. On second thought, he really had done her no wrong.
Mo Yan struggled in Huo Zhen’s arms and said, “I’ll let it go this time. Next time, you must tell me everything. If you keep it from me again, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
After that, she waved her fist at Huo Zhen and gestured for a while.
“Okay, I promise you.”
Huo Zhen simply agreed and held Mo Yan’s wrist, smiling even more deeply.
Suddenly, his face darkened. He pulled Mo Yan and walked out. “We can’t stay here for long. We have to leave quickly, or the consequences will be dire.”
From the moment he had arrived in H City, he had felt that he was being targeted.
“Oh,” Mo Yan answered lightly. She followed closely behind Huo Zhen and scooted into the car.
“My private helicopter is parked nearby. As long as we board it, we will be completely safe. Before that, be careful.”
Huo Zhen instructed Mo Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, to fasten her seat belt as he gave a few simple instructions.
He drove speedily. Not only did he have no intention of slowing down, he even ran a few red lights in a row.
However, it was this sudden action that exposed the brown cars that had been trailing them.
If they had not come for him, they would have long been left far behind by Huo Zhen’s speed. They had to speed, even running red lights, to follow him closely. There must be something fishy going on.
Huo Zhen’s eyes steadied. He sped up and drove into several small alleys in a row. He made all kinds of turns, but the cars still kept up with him. They had no intention of letting go.
Huo Zhen cursed inside his head. He turned back to look at Mo Yan, whose face was pale with fear. She looked at him calmly.
“Don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine.”
Mo Yan had never seen such a scene before. She felt at ease just because of Huo Zhen’s words.
“Yes, I know.”
She said straightforwardly and fumbled around in the car again, as though she was searching for something to keep by her side.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out and hit Huo Zhen’s car. The car was very sturdy, so the shot did not cause any substantial damage.
However, Huo Zhen’s frown deepened.
He dared shoot in the middle of a busy city and so brazenly wanted his life!
“Mo Yan, come over here. You drive; I’ll deal with them!”
“Huh?” Mo Yan panicked.
“Don’t be afraid. Just follow the navigation. I’ve already located it.”
Huo Zhen slowed down and unfastened his seat belt.
