The bodyguard captain knocked on the door, and only stepped inside after hearing Shen Bingyan's voice.
"Miss, I have returned from Luzhou."
The bodyguard stood a meter away from Shen Bingyan and spoke respectfully.
Shen Bingyan glanced at the bodyguard who had returned from Luzhou, and after finishing her work, she nodded and said:
"Tell me, how's the investigation going?"
Shen Bingyan didn't look at him, perhaps because she had no hope, or perhaps because she dared not think too deeply for fear of disappointment. She had always believed that the person who saved her was a stranger.
That's why she didn't even look up, and naturally didn't see the wonderful and complicated expression on the bodyguard captain's face.
After a few seconds of silence, the bodyguard captain pursed his lips and said, "Miss, we've found the person who saved you, but... this matter requires your personal attention."
"I've already copied the video back."
Shen Bingyan paused on her phone while editing the text, and silently looked up at the bodyguard.
Her bodyguard had been with her for many years and knew her style of doing things.
For this kind of thing, all you need to do is mention a name. I don't have the time to personally investigate the truth, nor do I have the energy to personally express my gratitude, and I don't even need to meet with them.
As for repaying the debt of gratitude for saving his life, the Shen family will take care of it.
Whatever they lack, the Shen family will repay their kindness in return!
However, even after the investigation was completed, the bodyguard refused to reveal his name.
The fact that even the bodyguard captain earnestly asked him to go and see for himself was rather strange.
Upon seeing the bodyguard's complex yet sincere expression, Shen Bingyan abruptly got up and returned to her room.
"Play it."
As Shen Bingyan finished speaking, the bodyguard was moved and closed the doors and windows, dimmed the indoor lights, and then played the copied video.
The fire seemed to burst through the projector, casting a fiery red shadow across the entire wall. And in that fire, a familiar figure appeared and paused.
Then the figure scooped up the unconscious person lying on the ground and carried them horizontally; in that instant, the flames engulfed them...
That moment!
The room was completely silent!
How, how could this be...?
It was him!
Shen Bingyan's expression changed slightly. She gripped the cushion on the sofa tightly and watched in shock as Zhou Yi endured the pain of being burned to save her. Even so, he did not put her down but instead took her with him to the rooftop.
The calmer her face appeared, the more turbulent her heart was.
It was Zhou Yi who saved her?!
But Zhou Yi dislikes her, doesn't he?
Why did he save her again at the critical moment of life and death?
No wonder the bodyguard didn't say anything and just let her watch the video herself.
The blackout curtains were very effective, making the room extremely dark. The raging fire on the projector was reflected in Shen Bingyan's pupils, as if that fire was burning in her eyes.
Shen Bingyan didn't say anything to stop, so the video continued playing after it finished.
Zhou Yi's image reappeared on the screen.
Looking at that figure, Shen Bingyan felt a complex and bitter emotion welling up inside her, a mixture of gratitude and regret: 'Zhou Yi, why couldn't you have done this to me sooner?'
'If you had shown me even a little kindness before I returned to Beijing, perhaps I would have stayed in Luzhou to help you.'
Why........
After the video was played three times, Shen Bingyan seemed to have made up her mind. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, any extra emotions in her eyes had been frozen.
"It's off."
The bodyguard turned off the video the next second.
Then the curtains were drawn back, and light instantly invaded all the dark territory, illuminating the room with a warm yellow glow.
“Miss, because he was the one who saved you, I was worried that there might be something going on, so I stayed in Luzhou for two more days. There is something else I need to tell you.”
"It's about Su Qingjiao. She's already..." The bodyguard explained why he was staying in Luzhou, and then mentioned that he had personally witnessed Zhou Yi identifying Su Qingjiao in court.
At that moment, the bodyguard's image of Zhou Yi completely reversed.
“Miss, it seems that Zhou Yi is not love-struck at all. His feelings for Su Qingjiao are not love or indulgence at all! He is clearly using a scheme to make the enemy lower their guard.”
"Miss, we all underestimated him."
“When I came back from Luzhou, I was thinking, was Zhou Yi ignoring you before because he was afraid that if he got involved with you, it would implicate you? That’s why he kept his distance from you.”
"After all, he doesn't know your true identity, and behind the scenes, those shareholders are all trying to drag him down, even going so far as to instigate the Su family mother and daughter to poison him. Perhaps... he wants to protect you?"
"Otherwise, given his usual cold and indifferent nature, he wouldn't meddle in other people's business, much less risk his life to rescue you from the fire."
The bodyguard excitedly shared his guesses.
He'd been cooped up for days, but unfortunately, he came back at the worst possible time.
Now that the young lady has finally woken up, he has no choice but to recount his trip to Luzhou in detail and share some of his own experiences.
Shen Bingyan's resolve, which she had just made up her mind, wavered once again because of the bodyguard's words.
She originally thought that once she returned to Kyoto, she would have no further contact with Zhou Yi.
However, after learning that it was Zhou Yi who saved her from the fire, she was quite shocked. Now, after hearing about Zhou Yi's actions, she secretly felt a sense of joy.
Could this really be true? Did I truly never really understand Zhou Yi?
In an instant, she suddenly felt a sense of curiosity and curiosity towards Zhou Yi.
She couldn't help but recall that Zhou Yi had kept the truth from everyone in Luzhou City for the past few years, including her, until now.
If she tells Zhou Yi about his mother and his true identity, will Zhou Yi be able to suppress his hatred for the murderers of his father and mother?
Soon, the cold reality shattered the last glimmer of hope in Shen Bingyan's heart.
cannot!
Zhou Yi's opponent was a ruthless person. Unlike Su Qingjiao, she was not hypocritical. Regardless of whether Zhou Yi posed a danger to her adopted daughter, the adopted daughter would rather kill the innocent than let him go.
Therefore, Zhou Yi is bound to lose if he faces his adopted daughter!
But what if you add yourself?
She left Kyoto because she was disappointed in Zhou Yi, but now that she knows all this, she begins to hesitate, to struggle, and even to be moved.
Perhaps Zhou Yi is still worth fighting for!
"Zhou Yi, if I go back to you again, will you push me away again?"
"Would you... have liked Su Qingjiao back then, really just a scheme? And what about your indifference towards me? Was it because you didn't like her, or because you didn't want to drag me into it?"
"Should I go back to Luzhou to see you again...?" Shen Bingyan tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
