Chapter 114 Her Aladdin's Lamp
"Qiao Xi, was there ever a moment when you missed me?"
In the dim light, Huo Xingzhou asked softly.
Qiao Xi bit her lower lip tightly, and a sob of grievance almost came out of her mouth.
Thought.
She missed him.
Then, he really appeared in front of her.
It's like Aladdin's lamp in the fairy tale.
But she didn't say anything and pretended to be asleep.
Huo Xingzhou didn't expose her poor acting skills, but just hugged her tighter. He could clearly feel that she was shaking.
She was scared tonight.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were dark. There was something wrong with that man. He took out his phone quietly and wanted to call Zhou Yu, but there was almost no signal.
He frowned and threatened to fire Chen Xun if he didn't fix the signal tower by tomorrow.
After dawn.
Qiao Xi opened her eyes, and her back felt warm and scorching. The man's iron-like arms were still tightly around her waist. She gently moved his hands away and got out of bed.
Behind.
The man said lazily, "Why don't you sleep more?"
Qiao Xi was stunned, turned around and looked at the man with his shirt open, turning her head away awkwardly.
“The free clinic is quite busy.”
Huo Xingzhou propped up his arms and looked at her: "Last night..."
"Thank you for what happened last night." She said stubbornly, "Actually, even if you didn't come, I would still be able to deal with him."
It seems that by saying this, the relationship between the two can be cleared up.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes stirred, and he asked with a smile, "Are you going to destroy him? How come I didn't know you had such a skill?"
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.
She was stunned for a moment and began to drive him away: "Mr. Huo, the conditions in Longtan Township are very poor. You should go back to Haicheng. I'm sorry that I can't entertain you well."
The tone was very cold and ruthless.
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his big hand, took her hand and said, "I will go back with you tomorrow."
The free clinic ended quickly.
"It's up to you. I'm going to do the preparations." Qiao Xi said lightly, feeling depressed.
There are some things that he won’t tell her unless she asks?
So why had he come all the way to Longtan Township? Did he have the ability to see and hear from afar and know something was going to happen to her last night?
"Qiao Xi."
Huo Xingzhou said darkly, "If you sentence me to death, you have to let me know the reason. If you don't tell me, I won't know what you're thinking."
He wanted to hear her admit with his own ears that she was jealous and that she cared about him.
Qiao Xi clenched her hands tightly and then released them, as if she had made a decision.
"Mr. Huo, there are rumors online about you and Xu..." Qiao Xi was interrupted before she could finish her words.
The young male doctor's voice came from outside the door.
"Doctor Qiao, there's an emergency! It's urgent!"
When Qiao Xi heard this, she walked out in a hurry with a serious expression. When she reached the door, she happened to meet Chen Xun who was carrying a lot of bags, and the two of them met.
Qiao Xi nodded casually and ran out quickly.
Leaving Huo Xingzhou's eyes gloomy, Chen Xun said: "Mr. Huo, here are the daily clothes prepared for you."
"Where's the signal tower?"
Chen Xun replied nervously, "The workers are already repairing it. According to your instructions, a signal base station will be set up every kilometer, and it can be completed today."
After returning from the imperial capital, President Huo became increasingly dissatisfied with him. Chen Xun was trembling with fear, as if he was walking on thin ice.
He took out a document, handed it to Huo Xingzhou with both hands, and said, "This is the police station's transcript. Li Yao received 200,000 yuan from an anonymous caller. He planned to take nude photos of the young lady and give them to the mastermind behind the incident."
"Currently, the police are investigating the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind this, and there should be results soon."
Huo Xingzhou held the transcript and read it carefully.
"Tell me immediately once you have the results."
"Okay, Mr. Huo." Chen Xun hesitated, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes, looking at him with deep, unfathomable eyes. "Chen Xun, you know how I deal with traitors. You were recommended by Zhou Yu, and this position of special assistant is extremely important."
This is the knock.
Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He had been with Huo Xingzhou for a short time. He had indeed made some small moves behind the scenes recently, but they were harmless and trivial and would not affect the company's interests.
"Mr. Huo, I will not let you down. You can entrust me with anything you need."
"Okay then."
Huo Xingzhou was cold-hearted and protective at heart. "Go to the best restaurant nearby and order some food. I'll take care of the meals for the free clinic team today."
Chen Xun complained repeatedly that the nearest hotel took two or three hours to get there and back. The roads were slippery in the rain, and it might even be dangerous.
But Huo Xingzhou was testing him and also getting angry about the interview with the Xingyue Foundation.
He had to agree.
"Okay, Mr. Huo." Chen Xun said with difficulty.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Be careful on the road. If things really don't work out, the company has also bought accident insurance."
After Chen Xun left.
There was a rumbling thunderstorm. Although it was daytime, the sky outside was as dark as night.
The rain was pouring down, so heavy that even the awning couldn't provide shelter. Huo Xingzhou walked out of the house and looked around but didn't see Qiao Xi.
He caught a hurried figure and asked, "Where is Dr. Qiao?"
"Doctor Qiao has gone to the back mountain! A villager is sick and can't move, so they're going to get him first aid!" The village director said anxiously, "It's raining so hard, it makes me anxious."
"Don't pull me! I have to find him back quickly!"
"I'll go with you."
Huo Xingzhou's expression froze. He took the raincoat from the room and followed him. The village director was familiar with the route and led him directly up the mountain. "Be careful."
The soil was soft, and there were already many landslides along the way. After walking for more than half an hour, they only saw four or five figures.
Just one glance and his pupils constricted.
The mud and rocks from the cliff collapsed, and the place where they stood collapsed and slid down.
The village chief yelled, "Run! That place is going to collapse!"
Several people panicked and rushed out, but no matter how fast they ran, how could they compare to the wrath of nature? They were quickly swept into the mudslide, desperately clinging to tree roots and boulders with their hands.
Qiao Xi only felt his body sliding down with the mud and rocks, causing pain all over his body.
"Qiao Xi!"
Huo Xingzhou immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Don't let go!"
Qiao Xi was lying on an extremely steep hillside, and the rain was hitting her so hard that she couldn't open her eyes.
Huo Xingzhou's arm muscles were strong, and he straightened his body and pulled her up little by little.
Qiao Xi seemed to smell a strong odor of rust. She collapsed to the ground, feeling powerless. Through her blurred vision, she saw the tall figure and the village director, pulling everyone else up.
"Hurry down the mountain! Landslides may happen here at any time!" The village director shouted, and a group of people hurried down the mountain in the chaos.
Qiao Xi was carried on Huo Xingzhou's back, her cheek pressed against his warm back, and a strong emotion suddenly surged in her heart.
She suddenly realized that all her doubts and anxieties were because she fell in love with this man.
She had never faced her own heart before.
The beginning of loving someone is inferiority complex.
“Huo…”
Qiao Xi was about to speak when she felt her palms were sticky.
She raised her hand and looked.
The rain washed away not only the sand and gravel on the hands, but also a hint of blood.
