Without enough time to think, the cold gun muzzle pressed against Xia Chuwei's head silently.

At the same time, the man's familiar yet unfamiliar faint laughter sounded.

"Huo Yunting, put the gun down."

Xia Chuwei's eyebrows twitched and she turned her head sharply.

Huo Linyuan appeared behind her at some point and was pointing a gun at her.

There was a faint smile on the corners of his lips, as gentle and elegant as ever, but his eyes were sharper than blades and very unfamiliar.

For a moment, Xia Chuwei couldn't tell whether he was acting or... really?

Huo Yunting's pupils shrank, and his expression became gloomier little by little.

"Huo Linyuan, it seems you are not going to pretend anymore?"

"Yes, after all, you will feel tired after wearing a mask for too long." Huo Linyuan smiled slightly, "Yun Ting, don't you feel tired after wearing a mask all the time to deceive Xia Chuwei?"

Huo Yunting's eyes were deep, but he didn't speak.

Huo Linyuan pretended to be surprised, "I have decided to show off, are you... still planning to hide it? Even if I pretend to be you and take credit for the mysterious man helping Chu Wei, you still won't admit it?"

Xia Chuwei's eyebrows trembled and she subconsciously looked at Huo Yunting.

Huo Yunting did not look at her, but stared at Huo Linyuan. His handsome face was gloomy, and his delicate eyebrows were covered with a thick layer of gloom.

Huo Linyuan gently pulled the trigger with his long finger and his voice was filled with laughter.

"Yunting, I just asked you to put down the gun, didn't you hear me?"

After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting threw the gun in his hand to the ground.

Huo Linyuan signaled to his men to take away Huo Yunting's gun, and then ordered: "You guys should step back first."

The men left in response.

Huo Linyuan had a gun and a hostage. No matter how skilled Huo Yunting was, he was still no match for Huo Linyuan.

After everyone left, Huo Linyuan chuckled and said, "Okay, now that everyone else has left, we can have a good talk."

He looked down at the pale Xia Chuwei and said, "Chuwei, don't you want to say something?"

"What did you mean by what you just said?" Although Xia Chuwei was talking to Huo Linyuan, she was looking at Huo Yunting momentarily, not wanting to miss the slightest change in expression on his face.

"Chu Wei, you are so smart, you should be able to guess what I mean."

Time was running out, and Huo Linyuan did not compromise.

"Sorry, I lied to you. The mysterious person who has been helping you is not me."

"In that case, why did you admit it instead of denying it when I asked you?"

"Before coming to City S, I conducted a detailed investigation on you. I know all your interpersonal relationships, including your friends and ex-fiancé. The only thing I don't know...is the mysterious person you mentioned."

Huo Linyuan played with the gun in his hand casually, "When you first mentioned the mysterious man, to be honest, I was surprised. Because as long as he exists, he will leave traces. But the person you mentioned has no trace at all.

Stay, no matter how much I investigate, I can't find anything."

Speaking of this, Huo Linyuan gave Huo Yunting a meaningful look.

When Mr. Huo took Huo Yunting back to the Huo family, he didn't find anything at all, which shows how deeply he hid.

To be honest, until he pretended to be this mysterious person, he didn't know who the mysterious person Xia Chuwei was talking about was.

I never expected that this person would be Huo Yunting.

Perhaps because he sensed that he was investigating him, Huo Yunting did not take the initiative to contact Xia Chuwei for a long time.

Huo Linyuan was able to continue to impersonate this mysterious person secretly.

Until, the mysterious man contacted Xia Chuwei again and said that he would take him away.

And the time happened to be right after Xia Chuwei misunderstood that Huo Yunting had destroyed her face.
