[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Huo Jingmo's eye was covered in blood, and he struggled to his feet. He held Xiangxiang tightly in his arms.

With Yan Ling and Chi Xiao protecting him, and snipers in the distance, Wu Ying had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.

After they left, Chi Xiao finally collapsed to the ground, his eyes growing increasingly heavy.

Huo Jingmo stepped forward and patted Chi Xiao's face, saying, "Don't sleep."

Chi Xiao forced a smile, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Stop fighting, I understand."

Yan Ling lay down next to Chi Xiao and smiled, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness, I almost perished here."

Huo Jingmo stood up and looked around blankly. The little person in his arms seemed to be motionless, and he didn't dare to look down.

My heart felt like it had been ripped out; I was helpless and didn't know what to do.

Chen Siqi and Jun Fan drifted in the car, and before the car had even come to a complete stop, they opened the car door and got out.

Directing the men to carry the wounded into the vehicle, Chen Siqi said, "We can't stay here any longer, let's get out of here quickly."

Chi Xiao's face had turned deathly pale, but he still asked with a grin, "Who arranged the sniper? He's got a pretty good aim."

Chen Siqi froze slightly and said in confusion, "I didn't make any arrangements."

Lying on the stretcher, Yan Ling frowned and said, "Who is helping us?"

Chi Xiao strained to look up at the general location, but there was no movement there, as if no one had ever appeared there.

Then he turned his head again. Who could it be? Is it you?

Yan Ling, who was half-supported, slowly lay down. Judging from Chi Xiao's expression, she had a strange intuition that the person might be Kun or the boss. She shook her head, thinking it was unlikely.

But it aggravated the wounds on his body, causing him to hiss in pain.

Chen Siqi said to Yan Ling from the side, "Don't move around."

"Look how honest Chixiao is."

Yan Ling glanced at Chi Xiao again, rolled her eyes, and said, "He's not being honest; he's clearly passed out."

Chen Si was startled and hurriedly went to check on Chi Xiao.

Yan Ling collapsed onto the stretcher as if she had just breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to herself, "Idiot."

Chen Siqi was relieved after checking that Chi Xiao had only fainted and sat back down in his seat.

Before he could even sit up properly, Yan Ling, as if she were being mischievous, got up from the stretcher, came to Chen Siqi, and lay down next to him, resting her head on Chen Siqi's lap.

She couldn't resist lifting up his clothes and slipping her hand inside.

Chen Siqi tried to slap Yan Ling's hand away from his subordinates' gazes, but Yan Ling stubbornly said, "I'm injured, you can't hit me."

Chen Siqi: "Shameless."

The Word Spirit sighed, "Treat me a little, don't be so stingy."

Chen Siqi: "Your skin hunger is getting worse."

Yan Ling snorted twice and said, "Yeah, I'm very picky. You should thank your lucky stars that I chose you."

Chen Siqi snorted coldly.

However, gradually, Chen Siqi's cheeks flushed as he was touched, and his legs unconsciously closed together. Yan Ling gave him a teasing look.

She murmured, "What a hypocrite he is."

Chen Siqi turned his face away and said coldly, "If you don't like it, then get out of here."

The spirit closed its eyes: "I don't mind."

Three days later——

Chi Xiao lay on the bed, still unconscious, having just been pulled back from the brink of death.

Huo Jingmo's head was wrapped in gauze, making him look slightly disheveled.

He was working on documents at the table with his head down, but he was often distracted and absent-minded. After signing the last document, he walked towards the laboratory with great eagerness.

Xiangxiang fell into a deep sleep after that, her eyes tightly closed. Her limbs were curled up, and even her breathing was very weak, as if she was about to lose her life.

The insulated room wasn't far from the adjacent conference room, and Huo Jingmo could clearly hear their conversation.

Chen Siqi slammed his fist on the table, roaring like a wild beast that had lost its temper, "Impossible! Boss can't die! How could you curse Boss with your words!"

Yan Ling felt a lump in her throat from Chen Siqi's words. She slammed her other intact hand on the table and stood up, saying, "Chen Siqi! How dare you say such a thing! How dare you slander me!"

Chen Siqi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Then how can you say that the boss is dead? She could never be dead!"

Yan Ling had one hand in a cast and the other hand wearily supporting his forehead.

"This is the truth! Do you think I want to admit it?! Do you think I want to admit it?!" Yan Ling's face contorted for a moment due to excessive grief.

"And how could you wrong me? My loyalty is no less than yours."

Jun Fan sat to the side, coldly observing them, his eyes filled with indifference. His usually cute face now looked terrifying.

Jun Fan said, "Whether the boss is dead or not, we must find her!"

Yan Ling and Chen Siqi turned to Jun Fan. Chen Siqi grabbed Jun Fan's collar with an incredulous look and said, "You just accept this so easily! She's not dead at all! There's no need to look for her, just like before."

Jun Fan impatiently brushed Chen Siqi's hand away: "Watch your attitude. I'm not a Word Spirit. Don't be unreasonable with me here!"

Chen Siqi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his tone was icy: "With the boss not here, you have to listen to me."

Jun Fan sneered, his eyes icy: "Without the boss, you're nothing!"

Chen Siqi: "You...!"

Huo Jingmo kept clutching the discarded bead in his hand. It made him feel a little better.

The dull, round bead seemed to come alive, gleaming faintly in his hand, as if trying to draw his attention with its very life.

Seeing this, Huo Jingmo's lips curled into a slight smile, and he muttered softly, "Not dead?... "

"He's not dead." The initial uncertainty gradually turned into certainty, and this constant emphasis seemed to offer a glimmer of hope.

Hope flickered in his eyes, a faint glimmer: "Xiangxiang, there's hope, Daddy will definitely..."

"I will definitely find your mother to save you."

Huo Jingmo, his head pressed against the glass, spoke to Xiangxiang on the small bed, "Definitely."

Huo Jingmo walked towards the conference room, which was open, so he could hear their argument so clearly.

He walked inside, and everyone who was still arguing inside fell silent.

Huo Jingmo met their gazes without flinching, pulled a file from the shelf, and said to them, "You can continue your conversation."

Jun Fan saw Huo Jingmo clench his fist but ultimately said nothing. He simply said to Chen Siqi, "Don't try to order me around. You have to keep looking for the boss."

Chen Siqi was very unhappy with Huo Jingmo's sudden intrusion. He was also unhappy that Jun Fan didn't listen to his orders, so he simply remained silent.

The Word Spirit said, "Where are you going to look? We've already searched the entire world. Do you know what 'searched the entire world' means? We simply can't find her anywhere!"

Jun Fan: "That only proves that she didn't die at all, which is why we can't find her."

Word of Power: "If that's the case, what reason do we have to search for it..."

Chen Siqi: "Right, what if the boss doesn't want us to find it at all?"

Jun Fan: "It's different, it's different from the previous situation!"

Word Spirit: "Yes, it's different from before. The boss won't let us find it. What's her purpose in doing this?"

Yan Ling glanced at Huo Jingmo and continued, "Besides, if the boss were here, he wouldn't have allowed this to happen."

Chen Siqi: "Who knows what the boss is thinking? Maybe she's deliberately avoiding us for some reason?"

Jun Fan looked annoyed: "The situations are clearly different, can you stop deceiving yourself!"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.

Huo Jingmo was reviewing Chi Xiao's medical report; the only sound in the room was the rustling of papers turning.

Huo Jingmo felt three intense gazes and closed the report.

He chuckled softly, his voice hoarse from exhaustion, and said, "Find it."
