Bai Mengyi wiped the corners of her eyes, and the moment she looked up, she met the sneer in Huo Shiyan's eyes.

It flashed by.

She stood there in a daze, thinking that her acting skills had given her away, but when she looked again, the man had returned to his usual cold and distant self.

Huo Shiyan said in a deep voice: "I will take care of the matter. You go back and rest. It's getting late."

Bai Mengyi was secretly feeling proud of herself, but when she heard these words, she suddenly remembered that there were only twenty-four hours left before the three-day deadline.

And the 50 million has not been collected yet, not even a fraction of it.

When Bai Mengyi thought of the photo in the text message, her face turned pale and her petite body shook as if she had suffered a major blow.

"What's wrong?" Huo Shiyan asked.

Bai Mengyi pulled the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, I was just scared just now."

The threat of death in the bamboo forest is still vivid in my mind.

to be frank.

Before Huo Shiyan made his choice, she was still very panicked. Fortunately, he chose her instead of the widow in the end.

Bai Mengyi looked at the person in front of her with gratitude, and there was a bit more sincerity in her tone.

"Brother Shi Yan, I really needed you just now, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Under the dim street lights.

The man's originally stern face became a little softer, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Your business is my business. If you have any difficulties, tell me."

A deep and pleasant voice came, which seemed to contain endless temptation.

Bai Mengyi was stunned.

A breeze blew by, blowing away the loose hair on her forehead.

She lowered her head and spoke carefully: "My father owes money, and he may never be able to pay it back in his lifetime."

"How much?" Huo Shiyan curled his lips, the curve so small that it was almost invisible.

Bai Mengyi blushed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Fifty, fifty million."

Followed by.

Huo Shiyan said: "Send me the card number."

In order to raise money, Bai Mengyi hasn't closed her eyes for a day and a night. She even kidnapped Qiao Qin when she was desperate. Unexpectedly, the kidnappers broke their promise and almost killed her.

She was extremely nervous and on the verge of collapse.

result.

The person in front of her was like a ray of light, pulling her back from the abyss.

Bai Mengyi felt a sense of unreality.

After all this trouble, this is how it is solved?

In an instant, she seemed to be overwhelmed by great joy and gratitude, and tears flowed out like a tide, sliding down her cheeks and wetting her collar.

"Thank you, Brother Shi Yan, you are so nice."

His words were full of sincerity.

Huo Shiyan lowered his head, her figure reflected in his bottomless black eyes, and his thin lips slightly opened.

"Then do you remember?"

"Remember what?"

"The person I saw at school..."

Bai Mengyi was stunned for two seconds, and finally remembered the agreement with Huo Shiyan. It was because of this that she was able to get close to him.

"me......"

She stammered, and when she looked up she met the man's deep gaze, which was filled with a bit of expectation.

Bai Mengyi opened her mouth, wanting to tell everything.

The issue is--

She knows nothing!

It was a scam from the beginning. She thought she would confess after Huo Shiyan fell in love with her, but who knew something unexpected would happen in the middle.

Bai Mengyi hesitated for a long time, thinking that it would be better to delay it for a day.

Finally, she covered her forehead, reached out to hold onto a tree trunk, and said weakly, "My head hurts so much. Can I go back and rest first?"

Huo Shiyan didn't say anything, but stared at her with his deep eyes, as if he could see through her soul.

Bai Mengyi looked uneasy until the man spoke again.

"Since you are not feeling well, you can rest here for one night."

The car stopped suddenly.

After all, she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything and obediently followed Assistant Yan to the hotel room.

"Brother Shi Yan, you should also go to bed early."

Bai Mengyi said something flattering, until the door closed, the expression on her face suddenly changed.

"Damn it!"

A low curse sounded in the room.

Followed by.

"Crash-"

She threw all the bottles and jars on the coffee table to the ground.

The surroundings were in a mess. She was breathing heavily and barely calmed down after venting her anger.

How to do?

He must not let Huo Shiyan find out that he was lying to him.

Bai Mengyi hesitated for a long time, and finally took out her cell phone and made the call.

"Xiaoyi, is there something you need from me so late at night?"

The voice on the other end was obviously happy.

Bai Mengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was gentle: "Brother, how much do you know about Huo Shiyan? Tell me in detail, remember to include every detail."

The tone on the phone suddenly dropped, but he still told her everything he knew.

Bai Mengyi looked serious, writing and drawing on paper with a pen in her hand.

She had been studying abroad, and was able to quickly learn so much domestic intelligence thanks to the man on the phone.

My senior is a professional private detective and the information he provided is basically correct.

The voice on the other end continued.

"That's about it. Xiaoyi, when are you free? Let's have dinner together."

Bai Mengyi frowned, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, but her tone was still gentle.

"I've been too busy lately. I'll definitely ask you out when I'm free."

After hanging up the phone.

Looking at the notes covering the paper, Bai Mengyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could probably delay it for a while longer.

By the time......

Bai Mengyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a determined smile.

Somewhere in a corner of the room.

The tiny camera flashed a stealthy red light.

But she didn't notice anything and was still secretly delighted, fantasizing about how to make Huo Shiyan fall in love with her.

at the same time.

"Ah......"

Huo Shiyan's mouth curled up in a sneer.

His eyes were cold as ice. He leaned over to look at the surveillance footage on the screen, his expression terribly gloomy.

The temperature seemed to drop all around.

Assistant Yan was standing nearby, a drop of cold sweat trickling down his forehead, his heart already boiling with anger.

That Bai Mengyi is so brave!

How dare you deceive Mr. Huo? You really don't know how to write the word "death".

There was a long silence.

Huo Shiyan stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh scraping sound behind him.

"I want her to pay."

The sound seemed to come from an ice cellar, cold and biting.

Assistant Yan's heart trembled, and he nodded quickly in response.

Followed by.

Thinking of another thing, Assistant Yan had to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Huo, Miss Qiao..."

Huo Shiyan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let him go."

After a pause, he added: "Remember to send the people back safely."

Zhang Xiaohu is his man.

It was a trap carefully prepared for Bai Mengyi from the very beginning.

According to the original plan, under multiple mental pressures, the other party should be grateful and take the initiative to tell everything he knows.

Indeed, it almost succeeded.

But I didn’t expect that Bai Mengyi was actually lying. She knew nothing at all and was still making up fake news.

Huo Shiyan frowned.

This way the clue was broken again.
