偷窥闺房

The netizens were naturally thinking too much. In fact, no one in the Huo family cared about this matter at all. When they saw her on screen, they would deliberately call her just to praise her.

Lu Yingxin had been disconnected from the outside world for more than a month, and she could not endure it anymore. When she found out that the movie had been released, she finally came out of hiding. The movie was very popular, and she dreamed about making it as a big star.

The first thing she did was buy new clothes and take a shower. However, she had no idea that as soon as she swiped her card, she had completely exposed herself.

It was late at night when Huo Zheng received the call.

Lin Xiaowan was not in a deep sleep. As such, when the phone rang, she was jolted awake. Perhaps it was because she was suddenly awakened, she seemed frightened.

Seeing her trembling, Huo Zheng hurriedly patted her back and said gently, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s my phone.”

He was annoyed with himself. He had placed the phone on the bedside table and forgot to mute it.

Lin Xiaowan could not fall back asleep after she woke up. She waited for Huo Zheng to end the call before she asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Although Huo Zheng was very busy, very few people would call him so late in the night.

Huo Zheng hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell Lin Xiaowan about it.

Seeing his lack of response, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Huo Zheng covered her with the blanket as he said softly, “Why don’t you go back to bed first? I have to go out for a while.”

He hesitated for a moment before he said, “I’ve found Lu Yingxin.”

Lin Xiaowan was yawning, but when she heard this, she perked up again. She said, “But it’s raining… In any case, 1 want to go with you.”

It had been raining a lot recently. It would start to get windy in the evening before it rained at night. Occasionally, there would be thunderstorms.

Huo Zheng had been hesitant about telling her about this matter because he was worried that Lin Xiaowan would want to follow him. The weather was bad, and he was afraid that she would catch a cold. Moreover, he did not want her to stay up all night for this matter. It was 11 PM now. If it were not for the phone call earlier, she would be sound asleep in his arms at this moment.

Liu Xiaowan leaned against him and said cutely, “Let me come with you…”

Huo Zheng patted her gently and replied, “You should rest. Moreover, it’s still raining outside.”

“No, I want to follow you…”

The more Huo Zheng refused, the more Lin Xiaowan wanted to follow him. She refused to go to sleep and asked him excitedly, “What is Lu Yingxin doing? Where is she? Are you going to the mountains to look for her? Didn’t you say the village is in a very remote place? It’s very dangerous to go into the mountains when it’s raining, right?”

Lin Xiaowan chattered non-stop, rendering Huo Zheng speechless. Finally, he said, “No. She appeared in the suburbs of Shengjing and swiped her card at a mall. She’s watching a movie now.”

Huo Zheng was thinking about how to deal with this matter at this moment. Shengjing was a city that never slept; this also applied to the suburbs. Even close to midnight, many people were out. For this reason, he knew he could not rashly rush in and capture Lu Yingxin. For now, he told his men to wait and keep an eye on Lu Yingxin.

Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled, “She’s been in hiding for so long. Why did she suddenly come out of hiding? Moreover, she didn’t even bother to lay low after coming out…”

Huo Zheng did not respond to her question. Instead, he said, “Sleep.”

“No.”

In the end, Huo Zheng could only bring Lin Xiaowan with him.

Although Lin Xiaowan had been in Shengjing since she started attending university, there were still places she had never been to in the city. The place that Huo Zheng brought her to tonight was such a place.

At the same time, after watching the movie, Lu Yingxin felt very satisfied with her performance. However, while she was watching the movie, she went on the Internet and saw the video of Lin Xiaowan trying on the movie costumes. She burned with anger when she saw people saying that Lin Xiaowan looked better than her. In her opinion, Lin Xiaowan had deliberately done this to embarrass her.

When she stepped out of the cinema, Lu Yingxin’s keen senses told her that something was wrong immediately.

Huo Zheng and Lin Xiaowan sat in an SUV outside the mall. The car played a soothing melody, which made Lin Xiaowan feel sleepy. It did not take long before she finally fell asleep.

The air conditioner’s temperature was quite high. The window was rolled down slightly to let in some air. In such an environment, Lin Xiaowan could not sleep well. She kept tossing and turning.

Huo Zheng sighed and moved his arms to change into a more comfortable position to hug her. He really did not know why she insisted on following him out.

As soon as Lu Yingxin stepped out of the mall, she suddenly ran away with all her might.

Huo Zheng’s men were watching her so how could they allow her to escape so easily?

A few burly men rushed over and quickly captured her before dragging her into a black car. She did not even have a chance to shout for help.

Seeing this, Huo Zheng narrowed his eyes and sighed in relief.

At this time, someone knocked twice on Huo Zheng’s car window.

Huo Zheng slowly moved Lin Xiaowan aside, but as soon as he moved, Lin Xiaowan woke up. She rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, “Is she out?”

Huo Zheng stuffed a pillow into her arms and covered her with a small blanket. Then, he kissed her eyes and said, “Yes. Stay here. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay. Be careful, okay?” Lin Xiaowan said softly.

“Don’t worry. There’s no danger at all,” Huo Zheng replied with a gentle smile.

As soon as Huo Zheng opened the car door, someone raised a black umbrella and sheltered him from the rain.

Huo Zheng quickly strode over to the car where Lu Yingxin was being held.

Lu Yingxin’s mouth was gagged as soon as she was pushed into the car; she could not make a sound at all. She trembled in fear. Although she was restrained, she struggled desperately as though her life was on the line.

When Huo Zheng entered the car, he sized her up.

Lu Yingxin whimpered as soon as she saw Huo Zheng. The expression on her beautiful face changed immediately, and her eyes seemed to light up.

“You can’t talk, but you’re still so noisy,” Huo Zheng said frostily. He looked at her as though she was nothing, and the disgust in his eyes was blatant.

In the early years of the Huo family, when the Huo brothers’ father was still around, they had a lot of underground business dealings. Due to this experience, his heart had grown cold and hard.

“Our society is governed by law, after all. Logically speaking, 1 should just send you to jail,” Huo Zheng said expressionlessly, “However, 1 feel that it’s too easy for you. If I don’t take revenge personally, I’ll feel dissatisfied.”

Lin Xiaowan had a good temper. She did not hold grudges and forgot about things quickly. On the contrary, Huo Zheng did not have such a good temper. To be precise, apart from his family, he never had a good temper with other people.

In the end, Huo Zheng asked someone to send Lu Yingxin to the Huo family’s old residence first. Before his men sent her away, he said, “I’m never one to hit women. Nonetheless, I’m afraid Miss Lu will have to suffer today..”
