Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh at his nervous appearance. "It's just a minor injury, you don't need to be so nervous."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yizhou came in from outside. Seeing Huo Beixiao's gentle movements, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at him carefully.

Then, unexpectedly, someone suddenly shouted, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao was startled, and her dangling leg swayed involuntarily. Huo Beixiao's cotton swab was rubbing heavily on her wound.

"hiss--"

The pain shot through her, and Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but gasp.

Huo Beixiao frowned deeply as he looked at Xu Yizhou, "Are you sick?"

Xu Yizhou shrank back, feeling somewhat guilty, and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"

She glanced at Huo Beixiao cautiously and said, "I've never seen Boss Huo so gentle before. I thought, I thought..." He had been possessed by something!

However, he didn't dare say it aloud.

Although that period has passed, these people were taught by adults to be careful with their words and actions from a young age.

It's become muscle memory; there are some things you can't say carelessly.

Huo Beixiao ignored him and picked up Jiang Qiaoqiao again to take her home.

Jiang Qiaoqiao instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, but her face was flushed red to the roots of her neck. "Bei Xiao, this little injury is nothing. You should let me down and walk by myself. There are so many people in the compound; what if someone sees us..."

"You're injured, and even if they see it, they can't say anything," Huo Beixiao said firmly, cutting her off.

Jiang Qiaoqiao knew that once this man made up his mind, nothing could change it, so she didn't say anything more.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao returned, Huo Beixiao had already instructed Guo Tao to drive the van to the police station.

She was now riding in Huo Beixiao's car to the police station.

Chen Ye and his four accomplices have been arrested and brought to justice.

The testimonies of the KTV staff, the date rape drugs found on them, and the traces at the crime scene are sufficient to convict them of their crimes.

Chen Yuexia and her family were also in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau, where cries and shouts filled the air.

Chen Yuexia had many injuries. Clearly, after several of the younger members of the Chen family went to prison, the Chen family blamed her for the crimes and attacked her.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao came out after giving her statement, she met Chen Yuexia's resentful gaze.

Chen Yuexia looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with venomous eyes. It was all because of this bitch. If she hadn't run away, Chen Ye's plan would have succeeded. Not only would Chen Ye and the others have been safe, but Huo Yuanshan and her brother and brothers could have been rescued.

Once Huo Yuanshan is out, these people won't dare to hit her; they'd practically worship her!

It's all Jiang Qiaoqiao's fault!

Jiang Qiaoqiao met Chen Yuexia's gaze fearlessly, but before she could look away, a figure suddenly rushed over and grabbed her tightly.

Tong Xuejiao cried her heart out, "Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry, I took you out and failed to protect you properly."

Thank goodness you're back safe and sound. If anything had happened to you, how could I live?

Jiang Qiaoqiao was both amused and exasperated, and nudged Tong Xuejiao, saying, "Sister Xuejiao, you've gone too far..."

Tong Xuejiao quickly wiped away her tears, "Oh, okay, if that's the case, I won't act anymore."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Huo Beixiao's expression.

Now she no longer has to worry about Jiang Qiaoqiao, but she has to worry about herself.

She took Jiang Qiaoqiao out and encountered such great danger. Given how much Huo Beixiao cherishes Jiang Qiaoqiao and his vindictive nature, what good can come of it to her?

Jiang Qiaoqiao could also see what she was worried about.

He said with a smile, "Sister Xuejiao, this isn't really your fault. Even if I hadn't gone out with you today, they would have always found a chance to do something to me if they had the intention."

I am in the open, the enemy is in the shadows; it's impossible to defend against them.

Tong Xuejiao understood Jiang Qiaoqiao's meaning and quickly nodded to shift the blame, "Yes, yes, in the end, this is all your man's fault. If he hadn't put those people in jail and hadn't intimidated the others, you wouldn't have suffered like this."

As Tong Xuejiao spoke, she glanced at Huo Beixiao out of the corner of her eye.

Huo Beixiao's face was cold and expressionless.

But he picked Jiang Qiaoqiao up again and walked straight to the car.

Tong Xuejiao watched Huo Beixiao's departing figure, chasing after him while calling out, "Hey, Huo Beixiao, you... you have to admit your responsibility. If you're wrong, you have to admit it; if you're going to be punished, you have to stand up straight, don't you understand?"

Huo Beixiao carefully placed Jiang Qiaoqiao in the back seat of the car.

He gently touched Jiang Qiaoqiao's head with his warm, dry hand. "Wife, rest in the car for a while and wait for me. I'll be right back."

After saying that, he strode back into the police station.

Tong Xuejiao got into the car and watched his departing figure, asking in confusion, "Where is he going?"

“Go stand at attention and take your beating,” Jiang Qiaoqiao replied.

Tong Xuejiao instantly understood what Jiang Qiaoqiao meant, "He went to see his father?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't say anything more.

She understood why Huo Beixiao hadn't dealt with Huo Yuanshan's matter these past few days.

Just like her in her previous life, Huo Beixiao clearly knew that family ties were something she could not obtain, yet she couldn't help but still hold onto a sliver of hope and yearn for them.

However, if a bad relationship, whether familial or romantic, is not broken off, it will only cause more trouble.

After Jiang Qiaoqiao waited for a while, Huo Beixiao sent someone out to tell her to go back first.

That night, Jiang Qiaoqiao waited until late before Huo Beixiao returned.

As soon as Huo Beixiao entered the room, he pulled Jiang Qiaoqiao into a tight embrace.

He used so much force that it felt like he wanted to meld her whole body into his.

She hugged him and gently patted his broad back to comfort him.

The next moment, Huo Beixiao kissed her lips, starting with a light touch and then escalating into a frenzied attack, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, when she woke up the next morning, Huo Beixiao was still holding her tightly in his arms.

She opened her eyes and saw Huo Beixiao's handsome face with its sharp features right in front of her. She subconsciously pointed and traced the smooth lines of the man's face with her finger.

She felt the man move slightly, and feeling guilty, she quickly tried to pull her hand back, but the man's large hand pressed it down. "Wife, keep touching me."

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at the man like a big dog enjoying its owner's affection and couldn't help but chuckle. "Time to get up."

Huo Beixiao hugged her even tighter, "Wife, let me hug you again."

Hearing his pitiful tone, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a pang of sympathy and let him hold her without moving.

After a while, Huo Beixiao's deep voice came through again, "He agreed to break off our relationship."
