After walking around, Xia Ningxi no longer had the mood to relax. She was so tired that she stopped and said, "I'm tired. I want to go back to the dormitory."

"Aren't you hungry?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said: "I want to rest more."

"The conditions in the staff dormitory are limited. Let's stay in a hotel and take a bath at the same time." Huo Nanxiao suggested.

Xia Ningxi said, "No, it's more convenient to live in the dormitory. I don't want to run so far so early in the morning."

"The hotel is nearby, just a few minutes' walk away." Huo Nanxiao pointed to the opposite side.

Xia Ningxi then realized that it was a hotel, and it was quite expensive, costing 20,000 yuan a night.

Her income is high, but not so outrageous.

"The room has been booked for you. There will be a chef in the restaurant at this time. There is a menu in the room. If you want to eat something, call customer service and someone will deliver it to your room." Huo Nanxiao handed her the room card and personally sent her downstairs to the hotel.

Xia Ningxi was quite puzzled: "I live alone?"

"Do you still want someone to accompany you?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I don't want to."

"I live next door to you." Huo Nanxiao added.

Xia Ningxi: "You have your own property in Lingcheng, you can live in your own home, why do you want to stay in a hotel?"

"It's too far and inconvenient." Huo Nanxiao answered her with the same words.

Xia Ningxi was very tired and didn't want to waste time talking to Huo Nanxiao, so she went upstairs to her room and took a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the whole day. However, she couldn't fall asleep after the bath, so she had to sit on the bed and read.

Remembering that her cell phone had been turned off, Xia Ningxi turned it on and saw a bunch of missed calls pop up. She was shocked.

There were many unread messages on WeChat, all from her. She glanced at them and only replied to her colleagues and close friends. As for those who added her as a friend to inquire about her news, Xia Ningxi did not reply a single word.

Chu Xinran had been reporting the news of the Xia family in real time during this period and had become the number one spectator. When she learned that Huo Nanxiao had returned to Lingcheng with Xia Ningxi, she was so happy that she almost danced with joy.

Chu Xinran said: "Fu Mingyan went to see Xia Wanwan today. She was so happy when she heard that Huo Nanxiao left with you. It seems that Master Huo completely hates Xia Wanwan."

Xia Ningxi said: "I left with Li Yancheng."

Chu Xinran: "But I heard that Huo Nanxiao was also among the people accompanying them."

"He was just taking the plane." Xia Ningxi replied.

Chu Xinran said: "He would rather go with you than stay with Xia Wanwan. It seems that Xia Wanwan is completely disgusted 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 to save the company from bankruptcy. I heard that the Fu family was angry about this. What do you think is going on in Fu Xiyu's mind?"

"Maybe they are just pretending to be shit." Xia Ningxi said in a light voice.

Chu Xinran laughed out loud: "I think so too, Fu Xiyu's attitude towards Xia Wanwan is weird. In fact, 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 looked down on Xia Wanwan, and the Fu family certainly looked down on her too. If Xia Wanwan was still the number one socialite she was before, perhaps the Fu family would still take her seriously, but now everything Xia Luoluo did has long been hated by people, and any family with a little bit of strength in the Imperial City would not allow them to marry into the family."

Xia Ningxi said: "Let's just do our own thing and don't worry about the rest."

"Okay." Chu Xinran stopped discussing other people's affairs and started chatting with Xia Ningxi about family matters. Later, when she heard that Xia Ningxi was sleepy, she quickly hung up the phone.

At this moment, Xia Ningxi was lying tiredly on the pillow, her beautiful eyes staring at the scenery outside the window, which was quite beautiful.

She turned over, covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xia Ningxi heard the sound of fighting outside and opened her eyes in a daze, exhausted.

"Why is it so noisy outside so late at night?" Xia Ningxi rubbed her eyes and just sat up when she heard gunshots coming from next door.

The sharp sound was extremely piercing and completely dispelled all of 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 people outside and she could even hear someone screaming, as if they were injured.

The messy footsteps in the corridor were very harsh.

Xia Ningxi quickly called the front desk and asked the security personnel to go upstairs to check the situation. At the same time, she sent a message to Huo Nanxiao, but no one responded. She didn't know if something had happened to Huo Nanxiao, and she didn't dare to call him.

It was not until a cry for help came from outside the door that Xia Ningxi opened the door and went out.

A middle-aged man was lying on the ground, shot in the body and bleeding profusely. He was wailing in pain and looking into the distance with fear in his eyes.

Xia Ningxi followed his gaze and saw several men in black retreating quickly. The black mask of one of them fell to the ground, and Xia Ningxi could see his face clearly.

boom--

There was another loud gunshot, and the other party fired a shot at Xia Ningxi.

She was unable to dodge and subconsciously turned sideways to protect her hands, but a black shadow flashed before her eyes. Xia Ningxi was stunned and raised her head suddenly, only to find that Huo Nanxiao was standing in front of her. His body trembled, as if he had been hit by a bullet.

"What are you doing out here?" Huo Nanxiao pushed Xia Ningxi into the room.

Several more gunshots were heard outside the door, and security soon arrived. The group of thugs who had committed the crime had already fled.

As for the ground, there was a foreigner lying there, injured and bleeding uncontrollably.

"Call the police and an ambulance." Huo Nanxiao said sternly.

When the security guard saw this, he immediately called 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 of the injured person. "The location of the injury is very dangerous. I can only stop the bleeding. He needs to be sent to the hospital immediately."

"Wait a little longer. If I guess correctly, there will be an ambush outside." Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi was very surprised: "Are these people coming for you?"

"Yes." Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi pointed at the middle-aged man wailing on the ground, "Then how did he get hurt?"

"I stayed in the room I arranged for me." Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi looked worried: "Do you know who did it?"

"I guessed it. He must have a backup plan. If he realizes that he killed the wrong person, he will definitely ambush again." Thinking of this, Huo Nanxiao said, "Take the injured away first. You have a special identity, and they dare not touch you."
