Huo Yinghuai couldn't help but take a step back as he looked at the suddenly enlarged face, but he still nodded.

"If it weren't for you saving me and the driver today, we might both be dead."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that today's situation was a near-death experience. At that time, he was not completely unconscious and still had some consciousness. He could fully feel what it felt like for the lake water to fill his lungs.

The fact that Wen Li risked her life to save him is enough to show that she had no ill intentions or ulterior motives towards him.

Huo Yinghuai looked at Wen Li with his dark eyes. The little girl's eyes were bright and sparkling, which made him feel a little better.

"I will help you find your parents. Until then, you can live with me, okay?" Huo Yinghuai asked, trying to reason with him.

Wen Li's eyes seemed to brighten even more.

Holding Huo Yinghuai's hand, she felt the man's moral radiance shine even brighter.

"You really are a good person!"

Wen Li has been in City A for several days now and knows that the housing prices in City A are ridiculously high. If a man not only provides food but also accommodation, what else could he be but a good person?

Wen Li was overjoyed, feeling like she had hit the jackpot.

Seeing this, the assistant asked, "Mr. Huo, are you going back now?"

Huo Yinghuai was indeed somewhat tired, but thinking about what happened today, his brows suddenly furrowed: "Have you found out? Was it deliberate or an accident?"

"The police have initially determined it to be an accident. The truck crashed due to brake failure and the narrow construction site. The truck driver had no record of drinking alcohol and had no conflict with the Huo Group, so the possibility of tampering has been largely ruled out."

Huo Yinghuai gave a faint "hmm," seemingly lost in thought.

Wen Li, however, immediately denied it: "I noticed that the truck driver's face looked bad today. He was surrounded by a murderous aura and death energy. It was definitely not an accident."

Huo Yinghuai and his assistant both looked at Wen Li.

Wen Li blinked and added, "Someone wants you dead."

For a moment, the corridor was deathly silent.

Huo Yinghuai didn't speak, but his assistant looked Wen Li up and down again, finally fixing his gaze on Wen Li's tattered Taoist robe.

Why is the little girl that Mr. Huo picked up a charlatan?

However, seeing that Huo Yinghuai did not speak up, the assistant naturally did not voice any questions either.

After a while, the assistant heard Mr. Huo's cold voice: "Investigate that truck driver again."

The assistant was stunned for a moment, not expecting that President Huo actually believed what Wen Li said.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

——

Wen Li followed Huo Yinghuai back to the villa.

As soon as she got out of the car, Wen Li was stunned by the magnificent sight of the villa in front of her.

The villa is detached, and upon entering the foyer, you can see a luxurious hall with black and white handmade Italian carpets under crystal chandeliers, and a lush green landscape outside the arched glass windows.

Huo Yinghuai could see the undisguised longing in Wen Li's eyes at a glance.

He really is a money-grubber.

Huo Yinghuai himself found it somewhat amusing.

"You can stay here for now. If you want to go out, you can call Uncle Zhang, the driver..."

Huo Yinghuai paused suddenly, then asked uncertainly, "You should have a cell phone, right?"

Wen Li nodded quickly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes!"

After saying that, Wen Li rummaged through the tattered cloth bag she had brought back along the way and finally pulled out a small, exquisite silver... flip phone.

"This was passed down to me by my master when he passed away, but the charger broke recently, and I was afraid my phone would run out of power, so I turned it off."

After saying that, Wen Li pressed the red power button on the right.

As a result, the old-fashioned mobile phone did not respond for half a day.

Huo Yinghuai: "This phone must be quite old, right?"

"It's not too old, it's only been passed down for one generation." Wen Li seemed used to the old-fashioned phone not responding, but she treasured it and didn't want to take a hard picture.

Huo Yinghuai: "..."

The man was silent for a moment, then said "Wait a moment" and went up the stairs. A short while later, he came downstairs again, carrying a white box in his hand.

Wen Li was still fiddling with her antique phone when she realized it might be broken and couldn't help but sigh.

She hasn't had enough of playing Snake and Panda Run on her phone yet.

Just as I was thinking this, a strong and powerful hand suddenly appeared in front of me.

Wen Li looked up at Huo Yinghuai, puzzled.

"You can use the phone that was left over from the company's annual party raffle."

Wen Li blinked, took the box, opened it, and a black full-screen phone appeared in front of her.

When she took the train down the mountain, she saw that everyone was holding a small mobile phone, the size of a palm. Unlike her, they could not only play Snake but also watch videos. When she asked the price, she found that it cost thousands of yuan!

Huo Yinghuai just gave it to me like that?!

Wen Li carefully held the phone and spoke sincerely again, "Huo Yinghuai, you are such a good person."

Wen Li learned of Huo Yinghuai's name while she was in the hospital.

Huo Yinghuai found it amusing to hear Wen Li's serious words, thinking that probably only Wen Li would say that he was a good person.

The others probably don't think that way.

Huo Yinghuai thought for a moment, then his smile faded slightly: "You can study your phone first. You can choose any room you like. The housekeeper will come over to cook in a bit. Just tell her what you want to eat."

On the way back, he heard Wen Li's stomach rumbling the whole way.

Wen Li's eyes were glued to her phone, and she just kept nodding. Huo Yinghuai had no idea whether she was listening or not.

But with so many things happening today, she still has to deal with them, so she can only go upstairs first.
