Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Next door, Hu Zhen went to the study and turned on the computer.

The black-toned study is cold and simple, with the curtains drawn tightly to completely shut out the outside world, and the overhead chandelier casting a cold white light.

In the interplay of light and shadow, half of his deep-set face was hidden in the black shadows. He had a high nose bridge, a sharp jaw, and an unusually cold aura, just like the icy blue glass flower behind him.

With a slender finger clicking the mouse, a monitoring screen appeared on the computer interface.

Hu Zhen retrieved the clearest portrait.

"He committed suicide."

"impossible!"

"All the evidence points to this being a premeditated suicide. The truth is, the victim wanted to destroy the suspect with his own life."

"We must rely on evidence when handling matters."

Hu Zhen frowned. Not only were TV dramas playing on the computer, but also game sounds; it was getting quite lively.

Wu Tongxue leaned against a cushion, resting on the sofa with a small white blanket casually draped over her legs, revealing only a small portion of her slender, fair calves.

He was dressed fairly neatly, and his attention was focused on the game. Although there was a TV on, he didn't watch it.

The noisy sounds all quieted down the moment his gaze fell on him, falling into an acceptable range, even giving a sense of peaceful tranquility.

Hu Zhen sat in front of the computer until the clock struck ten.

Wu Tongxue started yawning, and her gaming speed slowed down. But it was just a single-player game, so being slower wouldn't make a difference.

sleepy.

After stretching and moving around a bit, Wu Tongxue got up and went to the bedroom, turning off the TV as she did so.

The study was excessively quiet; even breathing was barely audible.

The rain gradually stopped, and the air became increasingly quiet.

Hu Zhen moved his stiff body, his excited expression fading, replaced by a hint of regret. However, there's always tomorrow.

He's a late sleeper, and he'd just watched a few episodes of a TV series on his computer. Now that he's gotten a little interested, he might as well keep watching...

Wu Tongxue was unaware that someone was still watching dramas late at night, contributing to his mission progress. He was genuinely tired, so he quickly washed up in his bedroom and fell asleep as soon as possible.

Zzzz……

……

Having gone to bed early, Wu Tongxue woke up early in the morning and slowly washed up.

I greeted my neighbor who was leaving at the same time, and we went our separate ways after going downstairs together, unaware of the gaze that had been following me.

Hu Zhen was used to hiding in the shadows, and his gaze was very subtle, so he was not easily noticed.

Huo Buyan hadn't noticed him at first, but his subordinates reported that there was a dangerous person around Wu Tongxue who was currently living across from Wu Tongxue's house.

Huo Buyan paused in his writing, capped his pen, and a flash of cold killing intent disappeared.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him get close to Xiaoxue."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Buyan put down his pen, leaned back, rubbed his temples, and glanced at the stack of documents on the table.

Two minutes later, the secretary entered the office and was presented with a mountain of work.

"Take these to Assistant Shen to handle first. Find out any problems, and I'll take a look when I get back."

The secretary adjusted her glasses. "Mr. Huo, do you have any other plans for today?"

My mind raced through my recent schedule in order to replan it.

Huo Buyan: "Tonight's video conference will be moved to tomorrow morning; everything else will proceed as usual."

Secretary: "Okay."

I heard that his boss is a descendant of the Huo family who was separated from his family and has been developing his career abroad. He is planning to return to China to develop his career and has been busy with this matter recently.

The Huo family in China is a behemoth. In recent years, after the unexpected death of the previous head of the family, they have become increasingly low-key, and very little information about them has been exposed to the outside world.

The new head of the Huo family has not yet appeared, and it is unknown why the boss went back.

He was just an employee, and after receiving his boss's words, he quickly left the office to go to work.

Leaning back in a relaxed posture in the black leather chair, with his eyes slightly narrowed, Huo Buyan planned to go back tonight.

The creases between his brows smoothed out, and after making his decision, he threw himself back into his work.

Wu Tongxue had no idea that Huo Buyan was coming back tonight. She went out and got into Xie Yunxiao's car, intending to go to a banquet with him.

Tonight, a well-known local entrepreneur will be hosting his daughter's 18th birthday party at the Grand Hotel. This boss is a food enthusiast, and the banquet tonight will be prepared by a famous chef.

"Boss, there's a BMW following us." The driver looked at the familiar car behind him through the rearview mirror. Having dealt with paparazzi for many years, the driver was experienced in being followed.

Wu Tongxue subconsciously turned around and gave a license plate number, "My bodyguards are in this car. Let them follow without worrying about them."

Previously, the bodyguards were hidden around, but recently they've become much more blatant. Wu Tongxue guessed that Huo Buyan was behind it.

They just follow along; sometimes these bodyguards are actually quite necessary.

Xie Yunxiao was sitting to Wu Tongxue's right when he suddenly met Wu Tongxue's gaze, which was full of reserved smiles, and was taken aback.

Her thoughts were interrupted, and noticing that he had something to say, she asked him, "What's wrong?"

Wu Tongxue raised one hand to support her other elbow, her fingers pinching her chin. "Are you curious why I have bodyguards?"

He didn't know if Xie Yunxiao was curious, but he wanted to say that he was looking forward to his reaction.

Xie Yunxiao got his wish and adopted a curious expression.

Wu Tongxue spoke slowly, "I have a boyfriend..."

Xie Yunxiao's smile softened, barely maintaining its intensity, as he continued, "It's a pity he fell into the sea a few years ago."

There was a traffic light ahead, so the driver braked and also strained his ears to listen.

Wu Tongxue pointed behind her, "He still hasn't been caught, leaving me a huge inheritance."

It can't really be considered an inheritance, because Huo Buyan had already transferred all these things to him before his death, but that doesn't stop him from making things up.

“The wind was very strong at the beach that day, and then it rained heavily. I found his watch on the rocks, and the rest of his things…” he said thoughtfully.

"The rescue team retrieved nothing."

Wu Tongxue made a gesture of emptying her hands and sighed, "What a pity, the person is gone, leaving only an inheritance."

The driver in front couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wu, why is your boyfriend's inheritance going to you? Shouldn't it be inherited by his family?"

Wu Tongxue sighed softly, "That's right. It's just a pity that during the time we were together, his relatives all had accidents. He was worried that something would happen to him too, so he consulted a lawyer and made a will."

The driver didn't even need to ask; he already knew what was going to happen next.

Her boyfriend had an accident, and he inherited the estate according to his will.

But... when the driver looked at his expression through the rearview mirror, he felt a chill.

Was your boyfriend's accident really an accident?

Wu Tongxue glanced at the task progress bar, which had advanced a little bit.

After hearing "fell into the sea" and "didn't get him out," Xie Yunxiao remained calm and listened to him finish speaking.

Under Wu Tongxue's subtly expectant gaze, Xie Yunxiao suppressed his smile and pondered for a moment, "Life is unpredictable. It seems I should also consider making a will in advance."

Wu Tongxue: "?"

Can horror stories actually offer insights?
