Fu Qinian watched Huo Jinning, who was puffing up in anger, and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare. He felt a little uncomfortable holding it in.

After hearing Huo Jinning's thoughts, he realized that this matter was trivial.

"Ningning, what's wrong?" Fu Qinian asked knowingly.

"Um, what if someone tries to harm me? What do you suggest we do?" Huo Jinning asked.

"Treat them as they treat you," Fu Qinian said coldly.

"Hey, you're right, let's do it that way," Huo Jinning said suddenly, pleased. "You're so smart."

After finishing her sentence, Huo Jinning happily kissed Fu Qinian on the cheek, getting a little carried away with her joy.

After realizing what had happened, both of them were stunned with embarrassment.

“Ningning,…”

"If you feel you've been taken advantage of, you can kiss me back," Huo Jinning said, sounding a little guilty and unsure of herself.

"It's not impossible, is it? If Ningning wants it, I can have it too." Fu Qinian said teasingly, looking at Huo Jinning, whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

"You scoundrel..."

"Okay, I was just kidding. What are you going to do about what you just said?"

Fu Qinian changed the subject, otherwise things would get complicated if Huo Jinning got angry.

Huo Jinning, having just kissed Fu Qinian in her excitement, forgot about Qian Chengyi and looked at Fu Qinian with some confusion, wondering what she had just said.

"Didn't you say someone wanted to harm you? What are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

"This matter? No need, I'll talk to my older brother about it in a bit,"

"Oh well!"

Although Fu Qinian said this, taking action was inevitable, and he needed to thoroughly investigate the Qian family.

Any factor that could pose a threat to Ningning and her family must be nipped in the bud.

Before long, the car arrived at Huo Jinning's house.

Subsequently, the two launched separate investigations into the Qian family.

Of course, Huo Jinning entrusted this task entirely to Huo Nanchu.

Meanwhile, Huo Jinxin also moved into her new dormitory after the start of the new semester.

Fearing suspicion, the school decided to readjust and reorganize the dormitories for all fourth-grade students.

When Li Xiaolan learned that she would no longer be sharing a room with Huo Jinxin, she felt a little sad, but she didn't know that it was all because of her.

Nevertheless, Huo Jinxin would occasionally accept Li Xiaolan's invitations to go out together.

Especially after learning about Qian Chengyi's plan to harm her and Huo Nanchu, she was more willing to maintain some contact with Li Xiaolan in order to lull them into a false sense of security.

Just when Qian Chengyi thought his plan was perfect, he had Li Xiaolan arrange to meet Huo Jinxin.

This time they went to a hotel owned by the Qian family, where many people had gathered to celebrate Qian Chengyi's birthday.

Qian Chengyi stood in the middle of the crowd, a smug smile on his face: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday today. I am very happy to be here with you all! Please don't be shy, enjoy this wonderful evening."

After saying that, he raised his glass and gestured to the people present.

"Happy birthday, Young Master Qian! Wishing you success in your career and a happy and fulfilling life!"

"Yes, Young Master Qian, I wish you become more and more handsome and successful!"

Happy birthday, and may everything get better and better.

...

Everyone raised their glasses, exchanging compliments, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

However, Huo Jinxin simply watched coldly as Qian Chengyi performed his self-absorbed act.

She sneered inwardly, already used to this kind of hypocritical scene.

This time, however, she felt more relaxed than before, since she knew she would be fine because Huo Nanchu and Huo Jinning were both there.

At this moment, several people kept pouring alcohol into Huo Jinxin's mouth, and she did not refuse.

Before long, she began to feel dizzy and her body gradually became hot.

Seeing that Huo Jinxin was already a little drunk, Qian Chengyi quickly said insincerely, "Xinxin, look, you're drunk. Xiao Lan, go and help Xinxin to her room to rest."

However, Li Xiaolan did not want to leave just like that, because she had finally had the opportunity to get to know people in the same circle as Qian Chengyi.

So she replied tactfully, "Ayi, there are still so many guests here, it's not appropriate for me to leave now. Besides, Xinxin should be fine, we can go back together after the event."

Upon hearing this, Qian Chengyi immediately embraced Li Xiaolan and said affectionately, "But you promised me you would always stay by my side. After all, today is my birthday, and you still want to go back."

His tone was ambiguous.

He then added, "How about this, let Xinxin go and rest first, and I'll take you all back together tomorrow morning. Is that alright? Or, I can go with you and then come back together."

"Okay, sure."

Li Xiaolan had thought Qian Chengyi had sent her away, but she didn't expect him to want her to stay and keep him company.

She thought happily: Qian Chengyi really is good to me, otherwise why would he let me stay? It seems my efforts have not been in vain.

When Huo Nanchu and Huo Jinnan saw the three of them come out together, they knew the plan had begun.

Huo Nanchu said in a low voice, "We'll proceed according to plan later."

Huo Jinning nodded excitedly.

Just then, the hotel's surveillance cameras suddenly went black for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. The whole process was so brief that it went unnoticed by anyone else.

Qian Chengyi, Li Xiaolan, and Huo Jinxin all fainted as soon as they entered the room.

"Big brother, quickly take sister out of here."

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Nanchu immediately opened the door, picked up Huo Jinxin, and walked out of the room.

"Okay, you all need to hurry out too, you only have five minutes," Huo Nanchu instructed.

"Okay, I understand."

After taking away Qian Cheng and Li Xiaolan's phones, Huo Jinning took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, poured out two pills and fed them, then gave them some water to make sure they swallowed the medicine smoothly.

After doing all that, she picked up Qian Chengyi's phone and texted the two people who had come to celebrate, telling them to come to this room to find him.

Once everything was ready, Huo Jinning and her bodyguards quietly slipped into the stairwell and silently observed how things would unfold.

After seeing the two people enter the room, Huo Jinning and her bodyguards quickly left the hotel.

There were surveillance cameras in the room, but they had been taken over by Huo Nanchu. The footage didn't show them going in, only what happened after Huo Jinning left.
