Chapter 68: The Abandoned One >

ave all returned to their original state.Even the fish-and-lotus ornament she had impulsively bought at a street stall, which she had placed in a corner, was intact. If she hadn't personally seen the...The night grew colder.

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 smirked and reminded, "Young Master Huo, make a choice quickly, they're almost at their limit."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the two men operating the excavator moved their arms in unison. Su He, already feeling unwell, became even more dizzy and nauseous, his whole body on the verge of collapse.

Bai Yihuan was jolted awake by the swaying robotic arm. Realizing she was hanging in mid-air, she was terrified out of her wits. Luckily, she saw Huo Chenxi appear and immediately cried out, "Save me, Chenxi, save me!"

Huo Chenxi quietly clenched his fingers around the suitcase and raised his eyes to meet Bai Yihuan's pleading gaze. A twinge of pity arose in his heart.

Su He turned her head away, not wanting to see their interaction. Her gaze fell on the moonlight outside the window, but she noticed a figure approaching stealthily in the shadows.

Some of the uneasiness in my heart has subsided.

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

"Let her go!"

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

choice.

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

Because Huo Chenxi chose to save her!

"Ho Chen Xi!" Bai Yihuan roared with a heart-wrenching mix of pain and fury, "Look at where you are! Your brother is watching you. What you're doing, do you think it's right for your brother"

Huo Chenxi, who was barely holding on, heard Bai Yihuan's question and was struck hard. His steps stumbled, and he swayed precariously.

He slowly raised his head, the moonlight falling on his thin face. Su He only then realized that his lips were almost as pale as his complexion, his eyes empty and sorrowful, looking like a person on the brink of death.

Su He's heart skipped a beat.

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

Before Huo Yirou mentioned it, Su He was unwilling to let this matter shake her determination.

But, seeing Huo Chen Xi's expression at this moment with her own eyes, Su He finally understood what Huo Yi Rou meant by him not having fully come out of it.

"Young Master Huo, go pick up the person you chose," the man in black smiled contentedly, his eyes glancing strangely at the dark corner in the upper right. "Push the suitcase over here!"

Bai Yihuan was still cursing, but the originally shaking mechanical arm began to move.

She only felt her body rising higher and higher, farther and farther from the ground, and the despair in her heart growing stronger and stronger.

Ho Chenxi pushed the suitcase toward the man in black, gritting his teeth and striding towards Su He.

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

A deathly silence, broken only by the sound of suitcase wheels rolling across the floor in the dim light.

The sound of the wheels rolling disappeared the next second.

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

"Click, click—"

A faint sound, the air trembling slightly as the excavator's iron claws gently loosened.

Su He's body suddenly fell uncontrollably, with the wind rushing 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 rapidly falling Su He.

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

In the instant before he fell, he kicked Huo Chenxi hard. Huo Chenxi was caught off guard and kicked flying, his body hurtling forward to collide with Bai Yihuan who was falling as well.

But Bai Yihuan, due to this collision, changed direction and narrowly landed in a trash can not far away.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people didn't even have time to react.

Even the shadowy figure who orchestrated all of this watched in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

It should have been a result of two deaths, one injury, or even three deaths, but it was destroyed.

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

"Big brother!" Su He gritted his teeth, bearing the intense pain throughout his body. He let out a cry, but his voice was barely a whisper, almost inaudible.

She struggled to flip off Shen Rufeng's body and lay on her side, gasping for breath. "Are you alright"

A fiery heat rolled in Shen Rucheng's throat, but fearing that Su He would worry, he swallowed it back down. His voice was hoarse as he responded, "It's nothing, don't worry!"

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

Su He, barely holding on, turned her head to see Huo Chen Xi staggering towards her from afar. She glanced at the silent trash can and tried hard to curve her lips into a smile, but then everything went black before her eyes.

The man in black raised his gun and pointed it at Shen Ruifeng, saying: "You're meddling in other people's business! You're asking for death!"

A red dot suddenly flashed in the dark corner of the upper right.

"Don't touch him!" a harsh voice barked into the earpiece of the black-clad figure.

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 were crushed, the pain so intense that even breathing was agony.

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

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

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

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

Gu Qingcheng understood what she meant, and tears streamed down her face even more rapidly.

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

How can you say you're fine after breaking several ribs

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

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

Huo Chen Xi's internal bleeding

Su He couldn't help but think of Huo Chen Xi being kicked away, her heart growing 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 okay."

Su He wanted to explain that she wasn't worried about Huo Chen Xi, but she didn't have the energy. She could only let Gu Qingcheng misunderstand.

"So Huo Shao chose to save you over 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 lightly nodded her head, then shook it again, leaving Shen Xingfan completely puzzled.

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

Su He silently watched Gu Qingcheng.

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

Once upon a time, she had always been the one left behind.r's personality... you and he are not from the same world at all. How could you be willing to marry him" Huo Yirou still couldn't believe it.Su He refused to admit that she had fallen for Huo Chen Xi....
