Soon, Cao Gui helped Chen Nian in...
"Cao Gui, go wait outside."
To be on the safe side, Xu Neng first sent Cao Gui away, then pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that Chen Nian should sit down.
What do you want from me?
Chen Nian looked somewhat guilty. To clarify his doubts, he asked in a low voice, "Last time in the warehouse, did you send Xiao Gao to rescue me?"
"yes."
Although he already knew the truth in his heart, hearing it with his own ears was still quite shocking. A hint of panic appeared in Chen Nian's eyes, and he asked:
"Why did you save me time and time again last night at the steel mill?"
"I promised someone that I would protect you."
Chen Nian had considered countless reasons before, but he never imagined it would be this reason. Could it be that his father secretly saved him?
He looked at Xu Neng excitedly and asked:
Who is that person?
Xu Neng didn't want the topic to continue, and he especially didn't want to involve Wang Feifei. He gave Chen Nian a cold glance and said indifferently:
"You came to me just to ask these questions?"
Chen Nian came this time because he felt ashamed and wanted to tell Xu Neng the truth.
But when actually asked, he found it hard to say.
Seeing his hesitation, Xu Neng asked first, "I heard that you asked Xiao Gao for the mission last night."
Chen Nian sensed the suspicion in Xu Neng's words and looked at him in astonishment: "Yes, I went there on my own initiative because I had a mission to kill you."
Xu Neng instinctively glanced around the room. She didn't know if she could bear this truth. Chen Nian held a very heavy place in her heart, but this truth...
Indeed, Wang Feifei, who was in the room, turned pale with fright when she heard this. How could Chen Nian, who was so sunny and kind, have hurt someone and almost killed Xu Neng!
Xu Neng's hawk-like gaze shot towards Chen Nian. Chen Nian had indeed acted strangely last night, and Xu Neng initially thought it was due to a lack of combat experience.
I did have my doubts about him, but I was surprised that Chen Nian was so willing to tell me everything so readily.
Chen Nian was Shen Qingshan's man before. Anyone with a brain knows who the mastermind is.
Unexpectedly, this Shen Qingshan is quite a character; even in death row, he can stir up trouble.
Xu Neng sneered, "I didn't die. Your hopes are about to be dashed."
"No, you saved me several times, I didn't want to hurt you. Although I was on a mission to kill you, last night was truly an accident! I want to tell you, I'm sorry!"
What conditions did Shen Qingshan offer you?
"My father disappeared after coming here. I just wanted to find out about my father before Shen Qingshan died. I had no other choice..."
Knowing the truth, Xu Neng was even more eager to deal with Shen Qingshan. Keeping him alive was truly a menace. Seeing Chen Nian's expression soften, he asked:
"So what are your plans for the future? Do you intend to continue doing business with him?"
"You saved me many times, and I regret hurting you. I'm relieved to see you safe and sound. I will continue to search for my father."
To Xu Neng's surprise, Wang Feifei was not included in Chen Nian's plans at all.
Although he didn't know if there were any feelings between Wang Feifei and Chen Nian, Xu Neng instinctively didn't want Wang Feifei to be sad.
He glanced furtively around the room and said coldly to Chen Nian:
"I'll have Xiao Gao help look for your father. If everything's alright, you can go back and recover."
Chen Nian originally thought that he would be punished for revealing the truth, but Xu Neng not only did not pursue the matter, but also agreed to help him find his father.
Given his status and position, finding his father shouldn't be difficult. Chen Nian looked at him gratefully and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Commander Xu!"
It wasn't until long after Chen Nian left that Wang Feifei slowly emerged.
She never expected that Chen Nian would become a different person, nor did she expect that Xu Neng would protect Chen Nian all this time for her sake.
Seeing that Wang Feifei seemed unhappy, Xu Neng assumed that Chen Nian's words had upset her...
Xu Neng felt a little bittersweet, but Wang Feifei suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed her head against his shoulder.
"So you've been protecting Chen Nian all along. Thank you."
Xu felt the softness on her shoulder, but her heart skipped a beat. Chen Nian was indeed different in her heart.
He forced a smile and said softly, "You're welcome. I promised you, Feifei."
Wang Feifei didn't notice Xu Neng's sadness and asked cautiously, "Chen Nian hurt you, are you angry with him?"
Xu Neng didn't speak, his moist eyes fixed on Wang Feifei for a long time, when suddenly he felt a pain in his chest and let out a muffled groan...
Wang Feifei looked down and realized that the gauze on her chest was soaked with blood!
She panicked completely, hurriedly pushed Xu Neng into the room, hugged his body, and finally managed to move him to the bed.
At that moment, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried out:
"Waaah...Xu Neng, are you alright? I'll go get the doctor!"
She was about to run out when Xu Neng grabbed her hand.
Xu Neng shook his pale face and said weakly:
"Don't go...your voice...they'll recognize it...wait for Xiao Gao...I'll be fine..."
Wang Feifei didn't want Xu Neng to take the risk. A thought flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly took off her apostle's robes, revealing only her undergarments:
Since we can't fake our voices, we might as well not bother faking them!
Xu saw her take off her clothes and was unsure what she was going to do, but then he saw her put on a mask to cover her face and run out...
The guard at the gate was dozing off when suddenly a pleasant female voice spoke sharply:
"Commander Xu is bleeding profusely! Go and call a doctor, quick!"
The guard was stunned, not yet able to react: "How come there's a woman here?"
