Soon, He Zhengsong's impatient voice could be heard from inside the room.
"You brat, can't you even hold a bowl of food properly? Get in here right now!"
"Dad, this box is very heavy!"
He Sirui tried her best to hold onto the suitcase, but for some reason, the suitcase kept pressing down on her arm.
Pei Nian smiled gently from the other side of the box.
She was already petite, and hiding behind the suitcase, she was completely unrecognizable. She was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, covering most of her face, and in addition to being dressed as a hotel waitress, He Sirui couldn't recognize her in her panic.
She simply collapsed onto the box.
He Sirui was supposed to bear the weight of a box plus herself, which of course she couldn't handle.
"Dad, come here for a second! I..."
Before He Sirui could finish speaking, Pei Nian immediately heard He Zhengsong's hurried footsteps approaching.
She immediately realized that her opportunity had arrived!
She shoved the suitcase hard! Although she looked thin, she was surprisingly strong. Caught off guard, He Sirui was pushed aside and crashed into He Zhengsong, who was walking up behind her!
"ah--"
Before He Sirui could react, He Zhengsong jumped up. Pei Nian leaped onto the box and rushed into the house in a few steps. He Zhengsong immediately gave chase, and the two of them drew their guns and aimed at each other almost simultaneously!
However, He Zhengsong was a step too slow. Pei Nianyan stood firmly in front of Fu Xiuyu, his youthful face showing no fear whatsoever.
He Zhengsong dared not make any rash moves, but at this moment he saw Pei Nian's lips curl into a mocking sneer.
"you……"
“Mr. He,” Pei Nian raised the gun, pointing it at his forehead, “would you like to make a bet with me?”
"Ha, a little brat, you think you can get out of here alive?"
Pei Nian said softly to herself, "I'll bet you my life!"
Although He Zhengsong didn't think much of the little girl, her words still angered him.
He roared, the sound of a pistol being cocked ringing out loudly in the deathly silence. Pei Nian didn't flinch; she knew the bullet was about to be fired!
Just when things were at their most critical, a loud crash of shattering glass was heard!
He Zhengsong's eyes widened in terror, as if he had seen a ghost. His whole body stiffened, and the room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Then, with a thud, he fell straight to the ground!
He Sirui screamed in terror.
Pei Nian glanced at her coldly, then stepped forward and kicked her in the chest! "Quiet down!"
At this moment, the police broke down the door, untied Fu Xiuyu, and immediately put her in an ambulance.
"Grandma!" "Mom!"
Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can jogged along, with Huo Junyu and Huo Junyang following behind. Everyone was busy.
Jiang Mianmian ran up to Pei Nian, her face pale with fright, but she could only try to remain calm. She looked Pei Nian up and down carefully, and then suddenly burst into tears.
"What...what are you doing?" Pei Nian felt awkward. "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Jiang Mianmian choked up and couldn't speak.
In fact, everyone felt the same way she did right now. When the incident happened, everyone was on edge, completely focused on reason, composure, and calmness. Now that it's finally over, they dare to let out all the negative emotions—fear, anxiety, and lingering apprehension—without restraint.
Pei Nian smiled, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Mianmian, patting her back, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
At this moment, Huo Junyu walked over, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to express his gratitude.
"Pei Nian, thank you..."
"Are you two ever going to stop?" Pei Nian's smile vanished. "Alright, go do what you're busy with, don't worry about me!"
Huo Junyu nodded.
In the instant he pulled Jiang Mianmian around, he suddenly realized that Pei Nian only smiled at Jiang Mianmian; he had a cold expression on his face towards everyone else.
What a weirdo!
He smiled as well.
However, she was his grandmother's savior. Without her selfless rescue, Huo Jingnan would not have found the right opportunity to shoot He Zhengsong.
He must repay this favor, but as for how to repay it...
"Junyu!" A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Huo Jingnan strode towards them, a sniper rifle slung over his back, his steps calm and composed, showing no signs of having just been through an operation.
He nodded to Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian, his gaze falling on the delicate girl beside them.
He then realized that the two of them were wearing the same baseball caps, both of them black.
"Was that... just now?"
Pei Nian glanced at him, but did not answer, her face remaining cold.
"Yes, the person you were working with just now was her," Huo Junyu said with a smile. "Didn't expect that, did you?"
"That's quite unexpected." Huo Jingnan was speaking to Huo Junyu, but his gaze never left Pei Nian's face.
"I thought the person I was working with would at least be an experienced policewoman, but I didn't expect her to look...like a high school student!"
Pei Nian glanced at him, then turned and left expressionlessly.
Huo Jingnan froze, staring blankly at Huo Junyu, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Huo Junyu smiled and patted his shoulder. "Pei Nian has a bit of a quirk, but she's a very nice person. You'll understand once you spend more time with her."
After exchanging a few words, the group rushed off to the hospital to see the grandmother and also had to give a statement to the police.
After examination, Fu Xiuyu was found to be unharmed; the head injury was only superficial.
But given his age, such an event is physically and mentally taxing, and recovery takes time.
He Zhengsong was also admitted to the hospital at the same time.
He didn't die. Huo Jingnan, an excellent sniper, knew his men well, and that shot hit He Zhengsong only one centimeter from his heart.
He Zhengsong was spared because they didn't want him to die without anyone to testify. Once he recovers, he will still have to face legal judgment.
He Sirui, as an accomplice, was also detained and will face severe legal punishment.
After all these ups and downs, once everything had settled down, Huo Junyang set up a scheme.
Besides their "happy quartet", there are also Wen Jie and You Huan.
Of course, the most important guests were Huo Jingnan and Pei Nian.
Huo Junyang has never liked those five-star hotels. To him, eating a meal dressed in a suit and tie in a proper manner is like torture.
So this time, his gathering was in the suburbs, with blue skies, white clouds, lush green grass, and a clear stream nearby. Picturesque places are perfect for young people to paint the colors of their youth.
They brought a tent, tablecloth, picnic box, and barbecue grill.
This time, Huo Junyang was the head chef, and grilling fish, meat, chicken wings, and mushrooms were all a piece of cake for him.
"Mmm, Junyang is really amazing now!" Jiang Mianmian praised after taking a bite. "The meat is just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Second Young Master's skills are superb!"
