Chapter 319 Nothing is more important than her
Shen Zhixia said with a smile, "I'm fine, aren't I? Besides, I made Xiaoya pay the price."
Huo Chenzhou said seriously, "You were lucky this time. Who knows what will happen next time? In short, you must never take such risks again."
“Okay.” Shen Zhixia agreed readily.
Let's talk about the next time next time. She didn't really think anything would go wrong, since she had her spatial ability to protect herself. She hid her money and valuables in her spatial ability, and those people wouldn't be able to find it.
Xiaoya has gone to great lengths to frame herself, so she's destined to suffer the consequences.
However, she did not refute Huo Chenzhou. Whatever Huo Chenzhou said was fine, so as not to anger him.
Huo Chenzhou was somewhat relieved, but then he suddenly asked, "Where did you put the three thousand yuan?"
She discovered that Shen Zhixia had never mentioned the three thousand yuan.
It's strange, really. Three thousand yuan is a huge amount of money, and only Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian were in the warehouse. Xiaoya must have had someone watching them to prevent them from transferring the money out, in order to frame them.
How did they do it?
Huo Chenzhou felt it was very risky just by listening to it.
He didn't want Shen Zhixia to be framed and then arrested by the police.
Shen Zhixia paused for a moment, then said, "I gave the money to Aunt Qian, and she transferred it away."
Huo Chenzhou said seriously, "No, you can't give her the money. It's stolen goods. If she accidentally reveals it to someone else and the police find out, you'll be implicated too. I'm going to find her and deal with this matter properly."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
That won't do.
She told Aunt Qian that Huo Chenzhou had transferred the money and that Aunt Qian shouldn't worry. Then she told Huo Chenzhou that Aunt Qian had handled the money and that he could rest assured.
She said that because she knew the two people didn't know each other and wouldn't ask each other anything. If Huo Chenzhou went to Aunt Qian, wouldn't her lie be exposed?
Shen Zhixia rarely lies. She only now realizes that lying is a very difficult thing. One lie requires many lies to cover it up, and if you are not careful, the lie will be discovered.
Huo Chenzhou then told Shen Zhixia about the seriousness of the matter. In short, he just didn't trust Aunt Qian. He suggested that they take the money back and he would handle it.
It must be admitted that Huo Chenzhou was very thoughtful. He even thought of laundering the money so that she and Aunt Qian could split it. This would also shut Aunt Qian up and ensure that the money was clean and no one would trace it back to them.
If the money hadn't been in Shen Zhixia's hands, she would have agreed to Huo Chenzhou's proposal.
But not now.
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "Don't go to Aunt Qian. I've already spoken to her and we've settled this matter. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
"But I'm not entirely comfortable with that money."
"Don't worry, I've taken care of the money. There won't be any problems," Shen Zhixia said.
Huo Chenzhou looked at her, and Shen Zhixia looked at him.
Their eyes met in the air, and after a few rounds, Huo Chenzhou finally gave in: "Alright, since you're so confident, I won't interfere. But I have only one request: you must not put yourself in any danger."
He asked, "You gave this money to Aunt Qian, can you tell me what you plan to do with it in the end?"
If Aunt Qian were to take such a large sum of money home directly, her relatives would see it. If Aunt Qian let it slip, and her relatives were to reveal the matter, it would be quite unpleasant. Aunt Qian couldn't possibly deposit the money in a bank, since the source of the money was unclear and it would be easy to be investigated.
This money is a hot potato.
Shen Zhixia couldn't explain it clearly for the time being. Besides, Huo Chenzhou wasn't stupid. If she made up a reason to appease him, Huo Chenzhou would definitely find out that something was wrong.
This time, he grasped these details.
Huo Chenzhou used to be very indulgent towards her, so she had no idea what kind of man he was. Now she realizes that he is quite intelligent. No wonder he was able to become a deputy division commander at such a young age, and no wonder those soldiers seem to be afraid of him.
Shen Zhixia could only say, "Anyway, all I can tell you is that there won't be any problems with this. Just trust me, and you don't need to ask any more questions."
She was initially flustered because Huo Chenzhou wanted to get to the bottom of things, and she was also worried that Huo Chenzhou would go to Aunt Qian and expose her lies.
Although it wasn't a big deal, she couldn't explain where she had hidden the money.
What should she do if Huo Chenzhou presses her for answers?
She couldn't possibly expose her personal space.
This space is inherently illogical, and possessing such a treasure is a crime. Even if Huo Chenzhou is good to her now, what if he uses her space in the future? Let's say Huo Chenzhou doesn't covet her space, and she won't tell anyone else about it.
Everyone has secrets, secrets about their space, just like the secret of her transmigrating into the book. These kinds of things should rot away, rot away until they die, rot away until they're kept inside and never spoken of.
Even if her lie is exposed, she thinks she still won't tell.
But Huo Chenzhou suddenly said, "Fine, since you say you've handled it, then I won't interfere."
Shen Zhixia paused for a moment, then let out a soft sigh of relief.
After Huo Chenzhou said he wouldn't get involved in the matter, he really didn't. He gave Shen Zhixia his complete trust and never asked about it again.
That was the end of that.
Shen Zhixia was somewhat surprised. Huo Chenzhou had clearly cared a lot about it before, but why did he suddenly stop caring?
However, Shen Zhixia did not ask him; for her, this was a good thing.
She felt very relaxed.
When they finished dinner, Huo Chenzhou noticed that Shen Zhixia had a good appetite and ate quite a lot, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He noticed today that Shen Zhixia became very nervous and defensive whenever he asked about it.
He didn't want Shen Zhixia to feel bad because of his own actions.
So he chose not to ask any more questions.
In any case, Shen Zhixia's emotions are the most important thing.
Nothing is more important than her.
Moreover, even if this matter comes to light, he will clear the obstacles for Shen Zhixia. He will start preparing now to deal with all possible situations and will never let Shen Zhixia fall into any difficulties.
Actually, he had already realized that something was wrong. Shen Zhixia might not have given Aunt Qian the three thousand yuan, but that didn't matter.
What he cared about from beginning to end was Shen Zhixia's safety.
For things that are not important, then there's no need to worry about them.
