When Huo Jingmo woke up, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. Had he been asleep or unconscious?

He turned his head to one side, and in the reflection of the glass, he saw a handprint on his neck.

Was someone trying to strangle him? Was he getting closer to death in his dream?

Huo Jingmo's sarcastic laugh made him feel like a fish on a chopping board.

It's quite laughable that they've fallen to this state.

Huo Jingmo keenly detected a faint, almost imperceptible scent in the air.

He was certain that he had fallen into a deep sleep because of the smell of this.

So, is the plan to kill him or not?

Huo Jingmo glanced dangerously at the rotating camera in that corner.

Huo Jingmo's face was gloomy; no one had ever made him look so pathetic.

Huo Jingmo thought the Huo family was heavily guarded, but he never expected his younger brother to dare to make a move there, resulting in him being detained by unknown people. He didn't even know their purpose. The current situation made Huo Jingmo feel depressed.

The woman behind the camera was nestled in a large chair.

Her calm eyes were fixed on Huo Jingmo, who was frowning.

Her pale, delicate hand traced the screen to touch his eyebrows and eyes, trying to soothe his agitation.

It's impossible to tell what she's up to.

-

Huo Jingmo saw that his injuries were gradually becoming less serious.

In the past few days, that person hasn't made a move against him, nor has he noticed any danger.

He searched inch by inch, but still couldn't find the door.

Every time someone came to examine his wounds, they would make him faint first before coming in.

He stood in front of the glass, then suddenly bent over, as if he were enduring immense pain.

He collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing, before finally losing consciousness.

With a click, the door was opened from the outside.

Two people rushed in through the door, so fast it was as if they had been waiting outside the door the whole time.

Someone knelt down in front of Huo Jingmo to check on him.

A gentle voice said, "Stop looking! Come help! Lift him to the bed, or else you'll be responsible if something happens!"

After rustling around for a while, another person walked up to Huo Jingmo. The moment he touched Huo Jingmo, Huo Jingmo grabbed the person's hand and snapped his neck with force.

Then he took the gun and held it in his own hand.

He pointed a gun at the man, who was wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses and had a scholarly appearance.

Seeing Huo Jingmo pointing a gun at him, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses quickly said, "Don't kill me, I'm just a doctor."

Even with a gun pointed at him, he wasn't that scared; he just said, "Are you alright? You scared me to death."

Huo Jingmo's eyes flashed coldly. "Stand up and come with me."

The alarm went off the moment Huo Jingmo made his move.

With the man in gold-rimmed glasses held hostage, Huo Jingmo searched him and found two guns.

One was on his back, and the other was a short gun he used to point at the gold-rimmed glasses.

Huo Jingmo said, "Come on, take me out."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said with a fawning expression, "Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll take you out right away."

The door was closed when they came in, so Huo Jingmo still didn't know where the door switch was.

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses was being held captive by Huo Jingmo, groping around on this side of the glass.

Huo Jingmo pressed the gun against his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Hurry up, don't try anything funny."

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses said with a look of utter despair, "It's not that I don't want to move quickly, it's just that this place is really hard to find."

Huo Jingmo sneered, as if he was about to fire a shot at any moment.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses quickened his pace, fumbling around on this side.

Finally, he found a tiny hole, as thin as a hair, pressed it, and a combination lock appeared.

The person wearing gold-rimmed glasses pressed "111".

Then the door was opened.

Huo Jingmo, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, said, "Hurry up."

He held the man in front of him as a hostage to prevent anyone from harming him.

Outside were rows of rooms, just like the one where the woman was imprisoned. Only Huo Jingmo's room was different from the others.

Huo Jingmo's eyes flashed with a cold light. It seemed that he was very important to this person. What exactly were their purposes?

But the most important thing now is to find out which room Ruan Qian'an is in.

Huo Jingmo asked the woman with gold-rimmed glasses, "Which room is Ruan Qian'an in?"

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses stopped walking.

Huo Jingmo, impatient, assumed he didn't know who it was, so he explained, "It's the little girl who was kidnapped with me."

His eyes, framed by gold-rimmed glasses, reflected a white light, obscuring his true expression. His tone was sorrowful as he said, "She's dead."

Huo Jingmo was stunned when he heard this, and shot the guard who was chasing after him.

He sneered, "You think I'd believe that? Take me to find it."

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses smiled brightly: "I can't hide it from you."

Then he said, "She's at the other end of this floor. If you don't hurry, she might really die."

Huo Jingmo didn't say anything, but pressed the gun against him, about to pull the trigger.

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses continued, "This place is complicated and hard to find. Let me take you there."

Huo Jingmo released the trigger. "Hmm."

Two people came from the front. Huo Jingmo, holding a pistol, pressed it against the ear of his gold-rimmed glasses and fired two shots in that direction.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses quickly dodged to the side, yelling, "Damn it, couldn't you have stayed away from me when you fired?! The blast killed me!"

Huo Jingmo kicked him directly and said, "Hurry up."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses rubbed his buttocks, clearly annoyed. "I'm trying to help you, can't you be a little nicer?"

Huo Jingmo talks too much nonsense.

"You think everyone is like you, unable to utter a single word, only knowing how to kill with their eyes?" said the man with the gold-rimmed glasses.

Huo Jingmo: "You know me very well?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses and said in a sly tone, "Of course I know you well. Who do you think bandaged all your injuries?"

After saying that, she raised an eyebrow at him in a suggestive way.

Huo Jingmo kicked out, his gold-rimmed eyes flashing, "You think I'd be kicked again? That's impossible."

Huo Jingmo pointed the gun at him, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses immediately became quiet. Huo Jingmo asked him, "Who locked me up in this place?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses smiled innocently at Huo Jingmo and said, "I really can't say this, or I'll really die."

Huo Jingmo smiled, his smile full of wickedness. "If you dare to play any tricks, you really will die."

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses was momentarily stunned. "You look better when you're smiling."

Huo Jingmo clicked his tongue in annoyance and kicked him twice.

Where did this idiot come from?

The route he took, guided by the gold-rimmed glasses, was clearly the shortest one, and he was very familiar with the guarded areas, so he rarely encountered any guards along the way.

They soon arrived at the room where Ruan Qian'an was being held. This room was very similar to Huo Jingmo's room, and it also had a huge glass window.

He looked through the glass and found that the room had everything he needed, and there was no sign of danger.

He looked around before finding Ruan Qian'an sitting in the corner with her legs curled up.

She sat with her legs drawn up, facing the wall.

Huo Jingmo looked over worriedly and tapped on the glass, hoping Ruan Qian'an would give him some response.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said, "You're just too worried. This is soundproof."

Huo Jingmo tapped his gold-rimmed glasses with the gun. "Yes, open it for me."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses waved his hand. "I can't open it. Only two people can open it."

Huo Jingmo frowned. "Who? Why are you giving me riddles at a time like this?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said, "One is a dead old man, and the other? I can't say, I'll die if I do."

Huo Jingmo asked, "Old man? That old man? Where is he? Or who is he?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pointed to the side and said, "That's him."

At that moment, an old man emerged from the shadows, wearing a white lab coat that matched his gold-rimmed glasses.

He looked very strong, but his hair was a little gray. He walked up to Huo Jingmo, saw the gun in his hand, and said, "Hey, don't be so quick to start fighting."

Huo Jingmo picked up the gun he was carrying with his other hand, pointed it at the old man, and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man chuckled merrily… “I’m the one who invited you here.”

Huo Jingmo: "?"

"You call this 'please'? And do I even know you?"

The old man chuckled, "You don't know me, but I know you."

Huo Jingmo pointed his gun at the old man and said, "Enough with the nonsense, open the door."

"It's so much better when the old man is peaceful and amiable."

Huo Jingmo fired a shot towards the old man's footsteps.

The old man curled his lip and said, "I'll drive, I'll drive. This temper is really bad."

The old man fumbled on the glass and found a button—it was a fingerprint lock. He pressed his hand on it.

Then the door opened.

Huo Jingmo hurriedly went in and pulled up Ruan Qian'an, who was sitting on the ground hugging her legs.

Ruan Qian'an was caught off guard when Huo Jingmo pulled her up, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

She was pulled into Huo Jingmo's arms.

Ruan Qian'an nestled on Huo Jingmo's shoulder, coldly looking at the two people standing outside.
