Chapter 114 Her Aladdin Lamp
"Qiao Xi, was there ever a moment when you wanted to come to me?"
In the dim light, Huo Xingzhou asked softly.
Qiao Xi bit her lower lip tightly, and a sob of grievance almost escaped her mouth.
Thought.
She wanted him to come.
Then, he really appeared in front of her.
Just like Aladdin's magic lamp in the fairy tale.
But she didn't say anything and pretended to be asleep.
Huo Xingzhou did not 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 cell phone quietly and wanted to call Zhou Yu, but there was almost no signal.
He frowned and threatened to fire Chen Xun if he failed to fix the signal tower by tomorrow.
After daybreak.
Qiao Xi opened her eyes, and her back was warm and hot. The man's iron-like arms were still tightly around her waist. She gently moved his hands away and got off the 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 leaned on his arms and looked at her: "Last night..."
"Thank you for what happened last night." She said stubbornly, "Actually, I can still deal with him even if you don't come."
It seems that by saying this, we can clear up the relationship between the two people.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with emotion, and he asked with a smile, "Did you kill 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 then began to drive him away: "Mr. Huo, the conditions in Longtan Township are very poor. You should go back to Haicheng. I'm sorry 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."
This free clinic ended very 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?
Why did he come all the way to Longtan Township? Did he have clairvoyance and clairaudience and knew that something bad would happen to her last night?
"Qiao Xi."
Huo Xingzhou said quietly, "If you sentence me to death, you have to let me know the reason. If you don't tell me, I don't know what you are 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 loosened 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 voice of a young male doctor 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 look on her face. When she reached the door, she happened to meet Chen Xun who was carrying a lot of bags, and the two of them greeted each other.
Qiao Xi nodded casually and ran out quickly.
Leaving Huo Xingzhou's eyes gloomy, Chen Xun said, "Boss 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, we will set up a signal base station 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 and said, "This is the police station's transcript. Li Yao received 200,000 yuan from an anonymous phone call. He was going to take nude photos of the young lady and give them to the mastermind behind the scenes."
"At present, the police are investigating the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind this incident, and there should be results soon."
Huo Xingzhou held the transcript and read it carefully.
"Tell me the results as soon as you get them."
"Okay, Mr. Huo." Chen Xun said hesitantly, "May I ask if you have any other instructions?"
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and looked at him with deep and bottomless eyes, "Chen Xun, you know how I deal with betrayers. You were recommended by Zhou Yu, and the position of special assistant is crucial."
This is knocking.
Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He had only been with Huo Xingzhou for a short time. He had indeed done some small things behind the scenes recently, but they were harmless and trivial and would not affect the interests of the company.
"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 by nature. "Go to the best hotel nearby and order food. The food for the free clinic team today is in your hands."
Chen Xun complained repeatedly that it took two or three hours to get to the nearest hotel and back. The road was slippery on rainy days and might be dangerous.
But Huo Xingzhou was testing him, and also expressing his anger for 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 it really doesn't work, the company has also bought accident insurance."
After Chen Xun left.
There was a thunderstorm and it was daytime, but the sky outside was as dark as night.
The rain was pouring down, and even the awning couldn't provide shelter. Huo Xingzhou walked out of the house and looked around, but he didn't see Qiao Xi.
He caught a hurried figure and asked, "Where is Dr. Qiao?"
"Doctor Qiao has gone to the back hill! The villagers are sick and can't move, so they are going to give them first aid!" The village director looked anxious, "It's raining so hard, I feel nervous watching this."
"Don't pull me! I have to find the person back quickly!"
"I'll go with you."
Huo Xingzhou looked gloomy, took the raincoat in the room and followed his footsteps. The village director was familiar with the route and took him up the mountain directly, "Be careful."
The soil was soft and there were many landslides along the way. After walking for more than half an hour, they only saw four or five figures.
Just one glance and my pupils constricted.
The rock and mud of the cliff fell down, and the place where they stood collapsed and slid down.
The village chief shouted, "Run! It's going to collapse!"
Several people were panicked and hurriedly ran out, but no matter how fast they ran, how could they compare to the disaster of nature? They were soon swept into the mudslide and desperately grabbed the roots of trees and boulders with their hands.
Qiao Xi only felt her body sliding down along with the mud and rocks, causing her whole body to feel pain.
"Qiao Xi!"
Huo Xingzhou immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Don't let go!"
Qiao Xi lay on the extremely steep slope, the rain making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Huo Xingzhou's arm muscles were strong. He straightened his body and pulled her up little by little.
Qiao Xi seemed to smell a strong smell of rust. She was completely powerless and collapsed on the ground. In her blurred vision, she saw the tall figure and the village director, who pulled up the others.
"Hurry up and get down the mountain! Landslides may happen at any time here!" The village director shouted, and the group 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 caused by her falling in love with this man.
She had never faced her inner self before.
The beginning of loving someone is inferiority complex.
“Huo…”
Qiao Xi was about to speak when she felt her palms become sticky.
She raised her hand and looked.
The rain washed away not only the sand and gravel on my hands, but also a hint of blood.
