Before I could think, the cold muzzle quietly pressed against Xia Chuwei's head.

At the same time, a faint laugh of familiar and unfamiliarity sounded.

"Huo Yunting, put down the gun."

Xia Chuwei's eyebrows moved and she turned her head suddenly.

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

A faint smile hung on the corner of his lips, as gentle and elegant as ever, but his eyes were sharper than the blade and very strange.

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

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

"Huo Linyuan, it seems you don't plan to pretend?"

"That's right, after all, wearing a mask for too long will make you feel tired." Huo Linyuan smiled slightly, "Yun Ting, you have been wearing a mask to deceive Xia Chuwei. Don't you feel tired?"

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

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

Xia Chuwei trembled and subconsciously looked at Huo Yunting.

Huo Yunting didn't look at her, staring at Huo Linyuan with his handsome face gloomy, and his delicate eyebrows were covered with a thick layer of haze.

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

"Yun Ting, I asked you to put the gun down just now, didn't you hear it?"

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

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

The subordinates left.

Huo Linyuan has a gun and a hostage. No matter how good Huo Yunting is, he is not Huo Linyuan's opponent.

After everyone left, Huo Linyuan chuckled softly and said, "Okay, now all the idle people have left, so we can have a good heart."

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

"What do you mean just now?" Although Xia Chuwei was talking to Huo Linyuan, she looked at Huo Yunting for a moment, not wanting to miss the change in expression on his face.

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

Time is tight, and Huo Linyuan has not been vain to the point of being imprisoned.

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

"Since that's the case, why did you not deny it when I asked you, but instead admit it?"

"Before I came to S City, I conducted a detailed investigation of you. I know all your interpersonal relationships, including friends and ex-fiance, but I don't know... are the mysterious people in your mouth."

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

Stay behind, no matter how I investigated, I didn’t find any of them.”

Speaking of this, Huo Linyuan glanced at Huo Yunting meaningfully.

When Mr. Huo took Huo Yunting back to the Huo family, he didn't find it at all, which is enough to show how deep he was hiding.

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

Even though I didn't expect that this person would be Huo Yunting.

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

Huo Linyuan was also able to continue to secretly pretend to be this mysterious man.

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

And time happened to be after Xia Chuwei misunderstood Huo Yunting destroyed her face.
