When asked about this, Shen Huai's expression changed slightly, and his eyes darted away, as if he did not intend to tell the truth.
But before Shen Huai could even finish his lie, Qiao He saw through it.
"Don't lie to me, I have a lie detector here." Qiao He said with a straight face. In fact, the lie detector was the system. As long as it got deception points from Shen Huai, then Shen Huai was definitely lying.
Shen Huai was numb. He could tell that Qiao He didn't seem to be bluffing him, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I was fighting with my enemy and got a minor injury," Shen Huai said in a low voice, scratching the back of his head sheepishly, as if being injured was something very embarrassing.
Qiao He frowned and asked cautiously, "What injury? Where exactly are you injured? Bo Shiwu and I just checked you, and apart from the dent in your chest, there are no other injuries."
Shen Huai coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Well, it's just that half of my heart was stolen."
Qiao He: "???"
The cats and people present were stunned.
Lin Qiao jumped to her feet, exclaiming excitedly, "What?! The heart?!"
Shen Huai exclaimed, "It's nothing serious, really nothing. I won't die for now, I can still survive!"
He was very weak, and his heart ached constantly, as if it were being cut open. However, he had gotten used to it by now. If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't have been able to bear it, and might have even committed suicide from the pain.
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "Who did it to you, missing half of your heart? What exactly is that person's superpower?"
Shen Huai was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Bo Shiwu, who was usually so cold, would actually care about him.
However, when the topic came up, Shen Huai didn't really want to tell them, "This has nothing to do with you, it's all my personal matter..."
Qiao He frowned: "What do you mean by your personal matters? You said the same thing when you left. Shen Huai, do you even consider us one of your own?"
Shen Huai was stunned, staring blankly at Qiao He, his eyes welling up with tears for some reason.
"Well... I don't... I didn't have such thoughts. I'm just worried that you'll get dragged into this mess," Shen Huai said helplessly.
Qiao He looked into his eyes, "It's the end of the world now, everyone's just living one day at a time. You're just telling us what's going on, we're not obligated to help you."
Qiao He blinked, a sly look on her face, and said, "Why would we be so easily dragged into this vortex?"
Shen Huai thought about it and realized it made sense. The enemy he was facing was too powerful. Even if Qiao He knew, what could she do? She was still taking care of her mother-in-law and the kittens. She certainly wouldn't risk her life.
So Shen Huai said, "It's a man named Ye Hong. He's a wanted criminal who has killed a lot of people. It's all my fault. He got away back then, and coincidentally, a natural disaster struck right after he escaped. Although I can't find the person who received the message from above, I definitely won't give up this mission. I must personally capture Ye Hong!"
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Shen Huai's eyes.
Qiao He was slightly surprised. "So, Shen Huai, you're a government official?"
Shen Huai scratched his head. "I guess so. But there's not much news from the country yet. The casualties among us humans are just too heavy. But I do believe that the country still exists. They must be silently protecting us."
“I used to be an undercover agent, specializing in catching murderers like Ye Hong. But now that there’s no leader, I don’t know what to do. I can only complete the last mission I have,” Shen Huai said with a soft sigh.
Qiao He was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Shen Huai, who had dyed his hair white, was actually an undercover agent. He looked unserious, but he had a very positive heart.
Qiao He patted Shen Huai on the shoulder, "You've worked hard. Now I know why you saved me back then."
Shen Huai tilted his head, "Huh?"
Qiao He said in a serious tone, "Because you are a good person."
Shen Huai, who had been inexplicably given the "friend zone" card, was speechless.
I am no saint!
Shen Huai sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Alright, I've told you the whole story. Now you won't ask me anything more, right?"
"I fainted today because I hadn't eaten for too long and I have a heart condition. But I feel fine now and should recover soon."
Qiao He, however, did not think so. Bo Shiwu said that Shen Huai was already terminally ill, and perhaps the adrenaline in his body made him feel that he was fine and did not feel uncomfortable.
Qiao He pressed him down onto the sofa and said coldly, "Don't even think about getting away this time. We know about this Ye Hong you're talking about."
"No wonder I met you here. You followed Ye Hong's trail all the way here, didn't you?" Qiao He said softly.
Shen Huai nodded. "How did you know?"
Qiao He laughed, "Because Ye Hong has his eye on us, especially me."
Shen Huai's pupils constricted sharply. "What?! Why?! Could it be that he's taken a liking to you? After all, you're so beautiful!"
Qiao He almost burst out laughing; Shen Huai had even complimented her on her looks.
Bo Shiwu couldn't laugh at this moment; he felt a sense of crisis.
Could it be that Shen Huai also likes Qiao He?!
Shen Huai exclaimed urgently, "Holy crap! No way! That old man Ye Hong wants to take advantage of a young woman?! Does he really think he's the emperor, able to have whomever he wants?!"
Shen Huai was so angry that his lips turned purple and he almost fainted.
Qiao He quickly said, "What are you thinking? No! Let me put it this way, I have supplies here, and Ye Hong is eyeing the supplies we have."
"Furthermore, I also have enemies who are part of Ye Hong's group. My brother Qiao Yimu and my sister Qiao Yuan!" Qiao He's expression turned cold.
Shen Huai had a headache. "There's such a thing?"
“This… does indeed sound like something Ye Hong would do. This man is ruthless. Don’t be fooled by his seemingly peaceful and harmless exterior; he can be incredibly vicious when he gets angry,” Shen Huai said in a low voice.
"If he's got his eye on this, then there's a high chance he won't have any good days ahead of him."
Shen Huai looked at Qiao He and said in a deep voice, "I'm not leaving, Qiao He, Bo Shiwu! I want to stay with you!"
Qiao He blinked. "Together?"
Shen Huai, with a righteous expression, exclaimed, "Yes! Let's be together!"
Bo Shiwu's face darkened, and her eyes glared at him like knives.
Qiao He smiled helplessly, "Love triangles aren't popular around here."
Shen Huai then realized what he had said, and he was both amused and exasperated. "No, what I meant was that I want to be on your side!"
Qiao He nodded, "That's what we meant too."
Shen Huai let out a breath, "Then I don't need to hide my special ability anymore."
"My special ability is using poison, all kinds of poison. I can kill people without them even noticing."
Qiao He whispered, "What about Ye Hong? You've fought him before, what's his special ability?"
