Chapter 135
You Yuan said coldly, "Take her to the police station. She was charged with attempted murder. Whatever the crime she committed, she will be sentenced accordingly."
Haicheng has a police station. After Huo Jingzhou took over the Nanjiang area, he vigorously trained police officers for public security management.
There are also prosecutor's offices, courts, and prisons.
Under Huo Jingzhou's reform and governance, the judicial and penal institutions in the Nanjiang area have begun to take shape.
Tao Ran, looking disheveled, was dragged away like a dead fish.
She can't escape the charge of premeditated murder of Wen Xin, given the large number of "eyewitnesses".
Huo Jingzhou will make her regret being born!
...
Huo Jingzhou carried Wen Xin to his bedroom and carefully placed her on the bed. Seeing that she was soaking wet, he got up to fetch hot water to wash her.
Wen Xin was still in shock and didn't want to leave him for a second. She held tightly to his sleeve with both hands, her wet eyes looking extremely pitiful.
Huo Jingzhou pulled her into his arms again, gently stroking her back, his voice extremely tender, "Ah Xin, don't be afraid, brother is here."
Wen Xin buried her face in his chest, clinging to him affectionately, not letting him leave her side for even a moment.
Huo Jingzhou watched as she trembled and huddled into his arms, his heart aching with heartache. He gently comforted her, "Okay, brother won't leave."
Wen Xin suddenly sobbed, "Brother, I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid anymore, don't be afraid anymore," Huo Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed the crown of her head. "No one can hurt you anymore, I promise, don't be afraid."
Wen Xin held onto him tightly, the psychological trauma from just escaping death was too terrible for her to bear.
Huo Jingzhou stroked her back with affection and guilt, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have left you there alone."
Wen Xin shook her head; it was none of his business.
"Young Marshal."
The Huo family doctor arrived quickly, brought in by the head butler, along with two maids.
The head butler was very thoughtful. Although everyone was aware of the relationship between the young marshal and Miss Wen, they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship yet, so they needed to avoid suspicion to some extent.
For example, changing clothes is such an intimate act that it's not really suitable for them... right?
However, Wen Xin was in a state of extreme shock and distrusted everyone.
The maid wanted to help her change her clothes, but she shook her head and refused to get out of Huo Jingzhou's arms.
Huo Jingzhou felt sorry for her and didn't want to make her feel even more uneasy, so he had someone bring her hot water and then asked them to leave for the time being.
Head Butler: "..."
Fine, let's just pretend he didn't see anything!
Huo Jingzhou personally wiped Wen Xin's face and hands, and only changed her clothes...
I can't not change them, though. What if I catch a cold wearing wet clothes?
"Ah Xin, shall I help you change?"
Wen Xin: "..."
Wen Xin's fair face flushed slightly as she clutched her collar. "I... I can do it myself, brother... turn around."
She felt uneasy about letting him leave, so she could only make him turn away.
Huo Jingzhou's handsome eyebrows twitched, and he actually turned around.
Although he couldn't see it, the sound seemed to be amplified several times. The rustling sound of the girl changing clothes was completely different in his ears, it was absolutely horrifying!
"Brother, it's done."
Huo Jingzhou turned around and saw the girl in her nightgown sitting obediently on the bed. Her cold and stern face showed no expression, but her dark eyes were exceptionally deep.
Wen Xin seemed oblivious, pointed to his wet clothes, and said with concern, "Brother, change into something clean too, so you don't catch a cold."
After saying that, she obediently turned around, indicating that she wouldn't look.
Huo Jingzhou had originally wanted the doctor to come in and examine her first, but now he had no choice but to change his clothes first.
After he finished speaking, Wen Xin turned around and immediately saw a tall, handsome man in a white robe standing in front of her.
Wen Xin rarely saw him without his military uniform, and she was stunned.
The embroidered robe he wore softened his usual coldness and gave him a more gentle and refined air, making him seem like a graceful nobleman straight out of a poem.
Seeing the little girl staring in amazement, Huo Jingzhou's thin lips curved slightly. "Beautiful?"
Wen Xin nodded involuntarily.
Huo Jingzhou took a dry towel from the side and dried her hair. His warm breath brushed against her earlobe as he chuckled softly, "If you like it, look at it more. Even if you hadn't turned around earlier, would your brother have stopped you from looking?"
Wen Xin: "!!!"
She looked up blankly, completely surprised that the aloof and serious man in her mind would say something so flirtatious.
Or was it said to her?
Huo Jingzhou seemed not to think he had said anything wrong. He lowered his head and met her gaze. The burning passion hidden in his deep eyes could no longer be concealed and was laid bare before her.
Wen Xin's eyes widened slightly, her face burning red.
Her heart pounded as she turned away, her soft voice trembling slightly, "Brother, what are you saying? I... I don't understand."
However, after Huo Jingzhou interrupted her, Wen Xin's fear subsided considerably, and her eyes were no longer dull and lifeless. Instead, they were brimming with tears, and she was shy and embarrassed.
Seeing that she was only shy and not resistant or rejecting, Huo Jingzhou's smile deepened.
He stroked her hair. "Are you hurt anywhere? I'll have a doctor come and take a look."
"Don't be afraid, your brother is right here with you."
Wen Xin raised her hand, her right index finger nail was broken and bleeding from the struggle of gripping Tao Ran's hand so tightly.
Huo Jingzhou frowned, tenderly holding her hand, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Wen Xin shook her head, "It's okay, I don't feel any pain anywhere else on my body."
With her consent, Huo Jingzhou still allowed the doctor to come in and examine her.
Fortunately, she was not injured in any other way. The injury to her finger was very minor and just needed to be bandaged up.
However, the doctor still told Huo Jingzhou to be careful, as Wen Xin had fallen into the water and been frightened tonight, and might develop a fever and catch a cold.
Sure enough, Wen Xin developed a fever in the middle of the night.
Worried that she might be afraid to rest alone, Huo Jingzhou disregarded all formalities and let her stay in his bedroom tonight.
He slept on the sofa next to her, watching over her.
Around two or three in the morning, Huo Jingzhou, who was not sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up and heard a slight noise coming from the other side of the bed.
"Ah Xin?"
He turned on the light and saw the little girl had already scurried to the edge of the bed, reaching out with difficulty to touch the cup on the bedside table, her face flushed with an unhealthy redness.
Huo Jingzhou was startled and quickly went over to hug her. He found that her limbs were ice-cold, but her forehead was burning hot.
Wen Xin was not quite conscious, her eyes were glazed over as she looked at him, and her throat was dry and sore.
Huo Jingzhou quickly poured her a glass of warm water and fed it to her.
But Wen Xin fainted after only a couple of sips of her drink.
Fortunately, we were prepared, and the doctor was staying in the guest room and arrived in time to treat Wen Xin.
