He Nianhui smiled and didn't say anything more.
He calmed down and pieced together everything that had happened before he arrived here—it was He Yining who instructed those so-called doctors to inject Huo Junyang with the needle when he wasn't paying attention, and then have those people control him.
Later, he lost consciousness and woke up here.
He knew that He Yining wanted to kill him.
But he never expected that He Yining would be so crazy that she would even dare to provoke the second young master of the Huo family!
Huo Junyang moved with difficulty, his whole body aching terribly.
“There’s a needle mark on your neck.” He Nianhui leaned closer to look and whispered, “It’s a bit red and swollen. Judging from the degree of swelling, it hasn’t been more than 24 hours. That means… we haven’t been here for more than 24 hours either.”
Huo Junyang was taken aback. "You know that?"
"I've been pricked by needles so many times, I've already figured out the pattern!" He Nianhui put her hands behind her head, leaned against the wall, and smiled gently at him.
"He Yining...you don't want us to starve to death here, do you?"
Are you scared?
"Nonsense!" Huo Junyang suddenly raised his voice, "I still have a father, a mother, a brother, and a wife! I don't want to die young! Besides, even if I die, I can't die so unjustly, at the hands of a bitch!"
He Nianhui stared at him blankly, feeling a mix of emotions.
After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't let you die."
Huo Junyang, like a deflated balloon, squatted on the ground and scratched his head vigorously.
But just as he squatted down, the belt around his waist diggered against him. He suddenly froze, something flashing through his mind like lightning…
"He Nianhui!" he shouted excitedly, "We won't die here, we won't!"
He Nianhui frowned, then stepped forward and covered his mouth, desperately trying to signal to him with his eyes.
"Keep your voice down! Be careful, the walls may hear you," He Nianhui warned. "Once you're out of there, you won't be able to escape!"
Huo Junyang chuckled, lowering his voice to a very low hue, "How did you know I was going to talk about running away?"
He pointed to his belt, where the metal buckle had a special feature: when he touched a certain spot, the buckle suddenly popped open, revealing something the size of a fingernail inside, gleaming faintly.
"This is……"
"This is my secret weapon!" Huo Junyang smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, my brother will be here to rescue us soon!"

Song Wan has been living on Rose Island with Huo Jiayuan.
Children are curious about everything around them, especially when they come to such a beautiful island. She is having so much fun that she doesn't even have time to think about why her parents haven't come to pick her up.
Zhu Jingwei adored the little princess, and the two of them often spent entire days playing at the beach. Huo Jiayuan loved listening to the stories Zhu Jingwei told, which were a hundred times better than any Little Mermaid story she had ever heard.
Xu Yanqing's name always appears in Zhu Jingwei's story.
"Why do you keep mentioning her?" the little princess asked, resting her chin on her hand, her big eyes innocent and adorable. "Is she your daughter?"
"No." Zhu Jingwei smiled and gently patted her head. "She is my most outstanding student."
"Is she dead?"
"yes……"
"Will she be watching over us from heaven?"
Zhu Jingwei paused, unsure how to answer.
“Grandma Professor,” Huo Jiayuan’s innocent and bright eyes always put people at ease, “she will be watching over you from heaven! She was your most outstanding student, and you must have been her most outstanding teacher! Just like… just like Teacher Song, she was my most outstanding teacher!”
Zhu Jingwei was amused by her and affectionately hugged her.
“However, I don’t like you, Teacher Song.” She said, feigning seriousness.
"No, you like it!" Huo Jiayuan blurted out, "You even sneaked into her room last night to cover her with a blanket!"
"You..." Zhu Jingwei was taken aback.
"Didn't expect that, did you?" the little princess grinned mischievously. "I was too scared to sleep alone last night, so I sneaked into Teacher Song's room! Otherwise, why do you think her door was ajar?"
Zhu Jingwei was both amused and exasperated, and pretended to be angry as she lightly slapped the little bottom a few times.
Just then, the head butler rushed over from not far away.
"Professor," the butler whispered, "the matter you asked me to investigate last time has yielded results..."
Zhu Jingwei's expression changed. She handed Huo Jiayuan over to the nanny and walked aside with the housekeeper.
"What's going on?"
The butler pulled out the note and explained briefly: "This string of numbers is the combination to the safe deposit box, and this safe deposit box is located in Yun City Bank. The person who opened the safe deposit box... is Miss Xu Yanqing."
Zhu Jingwei's heart jumped into her throat.
She never expected that Xu Yanqing had a safe deposit box in the bank, let alone that she would find the password hidden in the lining of Xu Yanqing's calligraphy.
Xu Yanqing hid it so well, perhaps because he didn't want the safe to fall into the wrong hands!
After a moment's thought, Zhu Jingwei immediately said, "Prepare the boat immediately, I'm going to Yun City."
"Professor, this..."
"It's not closing time yet, and Yun City Bank is still open. I'm going to go and see what's in this safe deposit box."
The butler nodded and immediately complied.
Soon, Zhu Jingwei arrived at Yun City Bank.
The general manager personally came out to greet her and respectfully led her into the VIP customer lounge. He was about to ask her with a beaming smile if she wanted to deposit money there when Zhu Jingwei stopped him with a single look.
She got straight to the point, telling the manager that she was there for no other reason than to open a safe.
The manager had no choice but to take her to the warehouse.
Xu Yanqing's safe was inconspicuous in the last row, with a thin layer of dust on the shelf.
Zhu Jingwei stepped forward, gently brushed away the dust, and as her fingertips brushed over the three characters "Xu Yanqing" stamped on the stamp, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
She took a deep breath, entered the password, and the safe door opened with a beep, but there were very few things inside.
Compared to others who store gold bars, gold bricks, and jewelry here, Xu Yanqing's safe seems like a waste of resources.
She has a ring here, with the initials of her and He Cangwu's names engraved on the back.
Several of her books were published by Zhu Jingwei.
There was a letter of recommendation for studying abroad. Zhu Jingwei took it out and looked at it. The back was covered with three words: I'm sorry.
Zhu Jingwei could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
"You know you've wronged me, but you still gave up your future for that person! You foolish child, you're incredibly foolish!"
Zhu Jingwei calmed herself down for a while, composed herself, and continued scrolling down.
Beneath these items was a stack of handwritten manuscripts.
Zhu Jingwei was somewhat confused, and took out the thick stack of papers...
