Chapter 1025 He Dares Not Touch You
After walking around for a while, Xia Ningxi lost all interest in the activity. She stopped, exhausted, and said, "I'm tired. I want to go back to my dorm."
"Aren't you hungry?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'd rather rest."
"The staff dormitory conditions are limited, let's stay in a hotel and take a bath while we're there," Huo Nanxiao suggested.
Xia Ningxi said, "No, it's more convenient to stay in the dormitory. I don't want to have to travel so far so early in the morning."
"The hotel is nearby, just a few minutes' walk away," Huo Nanxiao pointed across the street.
Xia Ningxi then realized that it was a hotel, and quite expensive, costing 20,000 yuan a night.
Her income is high, but not this outrageously high.
"Your room has been booked. There will still be a chef at the restaurant at this time. There's a menu in the room. Just call customer service if you want anything, and someone will deliver it to your room." Huo Nanxiao handed her the room key and personally escorted her to the hotel downstairs.
Xia Ningxi was quite puzzled: "I live alone?"
"You don't necessarily want someone to accompany you, do you?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I don't want to."
"I live next door to you," Huo Nanxiao added.
Xia Ningxi: "You own property in Lingcheng and can live in your own home, so why are you staying in a hotel?"
"It's too far and inconvenient," Huo Nanxiao replied with the same words.
Xia Ningxi was very tired and didn't want to waste words with Huo Nanxiao. She went upstairs to her room and immediately took a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the whole day. After the bath, she couldn't fall asleep, so she sat on the bed and read a book.
Remembering that her phone had been switched off, Xia Ningxi turned it on, and a bunch of missed calls popped up, leaving her speechless.
She also had many unread messages on WeChat, all of which were for her. She glanced at them briefly and only replied to her work colleagues and close friends. She didn't reply to those who added her as a friend to ask for news.
Chu Xinran had been keeping abreast of the Xia family's news, becoming their number one gossipmonger. When she learned that Huo Nanxiao had returned to Lingcheng with Xia Ningxi, she was overjoyed.
Chu Xinran said, "Fu Mingyan went to see Xia Wanwan today. She was overjoyed when she heard that Huo Nanxiao had left with you. It seems that Young Master Huo has completely lost his love for Xia Wanwan."
Xia Ningxi said, "I left with Li Yancheng."
Chu Xinran: "But I heard that Huo Nanxiao was also among the entourage."
“He hitched a ride on the plane,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Chu Xinran said, "He would rather go with you than stay and accompany Xia Wanwan. It seems that Xia Wanwan has been completely disliked by Huo Nanxiao."
"Maybe." Xia Ningxi didn't care.
Chu Xinran said, "But Fu Xiyu has been in close contact with Xia Wanwan recently. Xia Wenhe's company was about to collapse, but Fu Xiyu invested 100 million yuan and managed to save the company from bankruptcy. I heard that the Fu family was furious about it. What do you think Fu Xiyu is thinking?"
"It's probably filled with shit." Xia Ningxi said calmly.
Chu Xinran laughed out loud: "I think so too. Fu Xiyu's attitude towards Xia Wanwan is strange. Actually, I suspect that he likes Xia Wanwan, but I don't know why I feel that he doesn't like her that much. It's very complicated."
However, the Huo family looks down on Xia Wanwan, and the Fu family certainly won't either. If Xia Wanwan were still the top socialite she once was, perhaps the Fu family would still take her seriously. But now, everything Xia Luoluo has done has made her deeply resented. Any family with any power in the capital city would not allow them to marry into their families.
Xia Ningxi said, "Let's just focus on our own things and not worry about anything else."
"Okay." Chu Xinran stopped discussing other people's affairs and chatted with Xia Ningxi about everyday things. Later, when she realized that Xia Ningxi was getting sleepy, she quickly hung up the phone.
At this moment, Xia Ningxi lay exhausted on her pillow, her beautiful eyes gazing at the scenery outside the window, which was quite breathtaking.
She turned over, pulled the blanket over herself, and fell asleep.
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside in the middle of the night, the exhausted Xia Ningxi groggily opened her eyes.
"Why is it so noisy outside so late at night?" Xia Ningxi rubbed her eyes and had just sat up when she heard gunshots coming from next door.
The shrill sound was extremely piercing and completely dispelled Xia Ningxi's sleepiness.
The gunshot came from next door. Could the person who was shot be Huo Nanxiao?
Xia Ningxi became more awake. She quickly got out of bed and walked towards the door. There were still people outside, and she could even hear someone screaming, as if they were injured.
The chaotic footsteps in the corridor were extremely jarring.
Xia Ningxi quickly dialed the front desk and asked security personnel to come upstairs to check the situation. At the same time, she sent a message to Huo Nanxiao, but there was no response. She didn't know if something had happened to Huo Nanxiao, and she didn't dare to call him.
Xia Ningxi only opened the door and went out when she heard cries for help outside.
A middle-aged man lay on the ground, shot in the body and bleeding profusely. He was howling in pain, his eyes filled with fear as he stared into the distance.
Xia Ningxi followed his gaze and saw several men in black retreating rapidly. One of them had his black mask on the ground, and Xia Ningxi could see his face clearly.
Bang--
Another loud gunshot rang out; the other side fired a shot at Xia Ningxi.
Unable to dodge in time, she instinctively turned to the side to protect her hands, but a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. Xia Ningxi was stunned and suddenly looked up, only to find Huo Nanxiao standing in front of her. His body trembled, as if he had been shot.
"What are you doing out here?" Huo Nanxiao pushed Xia Ningxi into the room.
Several more gunshots rang out from outside the door, and security personnel quickly arrived. The thugs who had attacked had already fled.
As for the person lying on the ground, there was a foreigner who was injured and bleeding profusely.
"Call the police and an ambulance," Huo Nanxiao said sternly.
Upon witnessing this, the security guard immediately dialed the police.
Huo Nanxiao quickly dragged the injured person into the guest room. "Xia Ningxi, come here."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly stepped forward to check the wound. "The injury is in a dangerous location. I can only stop the bleeding. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."
"Wait a little longer. If I'm not mistaken, there's an ambush outside," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "These people came for you?"
"Yes," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi pointed at the middle-aged man groaning on the ground, "How did he get injured?"
"I've taken the room I arranged," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi asked with a worried expression, "Do you know who did it?"
"I think I've figured it out. He always has a backup plan. If he realizes he killed the wrong person, he'll definitely set up a second ambush." Thinking of this, Huo Nanxiao said, "You take the wounded and leave first. Your identity is special, they won't dare to touch you."
