"Miss Xinghe, are you okay?" Huo Huahua could see that I was distraught.

I shook my head: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Let's go back."

When I turned the corner, I seemed to see a dark shadow flash past the corner of the wall. I was sure that I was not dazzled, just like last night, there was no way I was mistaken.

The relationship between Huo Yan and Gu Sinian is definitely not that simple.

They must have deliberately split up to make everyone misunderstand so that they can do everything without letting others know that their goals are the same.

Who is the murderer they are protecting?

I leaned against the car window without saying a word until we returned to the Huo family's ancestral home. Huo Yan had also returned. When he saw me walk in, he came forward and hugged my shoulders and said, "Are you tired? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I looked at him, as if seeing nothingness: "Huo Yan, I really..."

Can I trust you?

But this time I chose not to say or ask.

Because if he wanted to tell me, he would never hide it from me: "I am really afraid that you will go to Guicheng. The shadow of the flood and Aunt Li's death are all in Guicheng..."

But Huo Yan handed me a stack of evidence and said, "I went to Guicheng this time because of Aunt Li. I know Aunt Li is also a very important person in your life, and she also saved you. So when the police notified me to go and identify her, I went there first and did a specific DNA comparison for her. It was confirmed that it was Aunt Li. I also selected a cemetery for her in Guicheng and chose a date for her burial."

I looked at all the forensic evidence and was speechless for a moment. I don't know why.

He went to Guicheng just to find Aunt Li’s body?

He probably saw my confusion and said, "I'm sorry, I will discuss going to Guicheng with you next time. I just don't want to make you worry."

I shook my head, looking at the information in my hand and thinking of the time when Fu Sinan imprisoned Aunt Li's family as a bargaining chip to threaten Aunt Li.

"Huo Yan, have you checked Aunt Li's family? Fu Sinan used Aunt Li's family to threaten her at that time."

"I didn't find him. Fu Sinan later said that he didn't imprison Aunt Li's family. He also gave him some money and left. Fu Sinan couldn't find out where he went afterwards."

I looked into Huo Yan's sincere eyes and couldn't help but smile.

I think I believed him again.

"Huo Yan, I went to the laboratory today. I wanted to see the teacher, but I didn't see him."

I lowered my head and touched Aunt Li's death certificate, feeling mixed emotions.

"You can see the teacher anytime you want."

"Okay. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

My attitude today was obviously cold, and Huo Yan also felt it, so he didn't stop me. After I went upstairs, I didn't go back to the room immediately, but hid in the dark and heard Huo Huahua reporting my whereabouts to Huo Yan.

It turned out that Huo Huahua's existence was to monitor my whereabouts. What I thought was protection at the beginning has now turned into surveillance.

At this time, a message from Li Ran popped up on the phone——

I asked Gu Sinian today, and he said it was not surprising that he could get it since he had cooperated with Huo's company at that time. But I found a problem. After you left, I went out to look for Gu Sinian, and when I was driving, there was always a car following behind me. I must have been followed.

I looked at his message, my hands clenched unconsciously, and then I deleted the message.

After all, Huo Huahua was cautious and sent someone to follow Li Ran.

I went back to my room, took a shower, and looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn't seem to find anything real.

Is there really some secret behind my parents' death, and where should I start investigating?

Will Fu Sinan know anything?

What role did Gu Sinian play?

I thought about it all night, and when I fell asleep, I felt someone tucked me in, touched my forehead, and gently lifted the hair that was blocking my face.

I knew it was Huo Yan, but I didn't open my eyes and continued pretending to be asleep. I was afraid of his cunningness. I was alone and helpless, and if I was sold, I wouldn't even know how to count the money.

Until dawn, when I got up, Huo Yan left again, but this time I didn't ask Huo Huahua about Huo Yan's whereabouts. Instead, I got up and said to her: "I have breakfast and I am going to see Lin Jinxi. As a survivor of murder, I should ask her why she wanted to kill us."

I was so immersed in the gentle embrace that Huo Yan gave me in the past two days that I forgot that no matter how difficult the truth is or how close to reality it is, I should find it out myself instead of letting others do it.

Huo Huahua was obviously a little nervous when he heard what I said.

"You are pregnant now, so it is not appropriate for you to meet Lin Jinxi. Besides, this case involves a lot of people and is not emotionally friendly to pregnant women. You can see that Aunt Li's death certificate yesterday made you feel uncomfortable and you had a fever and sweated all night."

Am I having a fever and sweating?

I looked at Howard in confusion.

She took out the medicine the doctor had prescribed last night and said, "Yes, you had a high fever last night, and Master Huo took care of you all night. The doctor said that if it was too serious, you should take antipyretics, but you shouted that you were pregnant and refused to let me take it."

I sneered, "I don't think I don't know I have a fever!"

Huo Huahua looked at me with innocent eyes: "You are indeed confused due to the fever."

As they were talking, several Taoist priests came in from the gate. Huo Huahua listened to the servant's report and said, "I also suggested to Mr. Huo that we invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual for you. Mr. Huo disagreed at first, but I thought it would be better if it could be useful in case. So Mr. Huo didn't answer, and I took it as his consent."

I frowned as I watched the Taoist priest scattering rice and throwing talisman paper at home. I found it ridiculous.

"absurd!"

But I died once and was reborn, which seems even more ridiculous.

"It's not suitable for you to meet Lin Jinxi today." Huo Huahua stopped me directly.

But I insist on going.

She pulled my arm and said, "Miss Xinghe, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child!"

"Are you blackmailing me morally?"

I was angry, shook off her hand and turned to leave, but a group of bodyguards blocked the door and made a gesture to ask her to go back.

"Huo Huahua, let them get out of the way!"

Huo Huahua quickly stepped forward and asked the bodyguard to move aside. He persuaded me in a gentle voice: "Miss Xinghe, if you really want to go, I will go with you. I am really thinking about you and the child. It was really scary that you had a high fever last night. You were delirious with fever and kept shouting for Fu Sinan to save me. It was a big fire. It was so hot. It scared Mr. Huo."

I don't know why I believed what she said.

Because only Huo Yan knew that I was burned to death in a fire before my rebirth.

My nightmares usually involve scenes of fire, and I always call out Fu Sinan.

"I will control my emotions. I must meet Lin Jinxi."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Huo Huahua took me to the car.

I looked back at the Taoists. What could they dispel?

My soul or my anxiety? Or my complete trust in Huo Yan?
