The black bathrobe was tied loosely, and his lean body was clearly visible, with his blocky abdominal muscles arranged tightly.

The water droplets from her hair dripped down to her chest, and then went silkily all the way to her waist, where they were absorbed by the bandage around her waist.

Xiang Xuan's eyes fell directly on Huo Yanzhou's waist bandage, which had obvious wet parts.

The man's head dropped slightly: "What's wrong?"

"I knocked on the door just now, didn't you hear?"

"I was just getting dressed, I thought you could wait a little longer."

"Someone has been calling you." After speaking, Xiang Xuan turned and left with a calm expression.

Only then did Huo Yanzhou notice that his cell phone was still ringing. He walked over and picked up the phone. When he saw the caller ID on it, his expression changed subtly.

He left the bedroom.

Xiang Xuan looked at the closed door out of the corner of his eye.

During this period, whenever she was present, Huo Yanzhou's calls were almost always answered in front of her.

Xiang Xuan naturally thought of Miss Yuan because she could avoid him.

Huo Yanzhou, who had already entered the study, sat behind the desk with a cold face.

The first second the phone was connected, a woman's sobbing voice came out: "Yan Zhou."

It can be heard from the voice that the woman is very aggrieved at the moment.

But Huo Yanzhou never changed his expression, but said indifferently: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Yuan said angrily: "There's someone from the Huo family here again."

Huo Yanzhou knew about this.

After all, there are always people arranged by him beside Yuan Yuan.

To protect her safety.

Huo Yanzhou grimaced slightly, "I told you not to go out unless necessary."

Yuan Yuan's expression paused for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Huo Yanzhou to say this. Her voice sounded even more aggrieved and cautious, "Yanzhou, I don't have to go out. It's just that I feel bored at home, so I want to go out." Let’s go. I’ve tried my best to avoid them, but they always find me the first time, and I always feel like they are spying on me secretly.”

At this point, her crying became more urgent, "Yanzhou, can you come back?"

Huo Yanzhou's eyes were cold, and every word and sentence she said did not move him in the slightest.

The next second, he said coldly: "If you cause any problems with that kidney in your body, Yuan Yuan, your life will not survive that kidney."

At this moment, Yuan Yuan squeezed the phone tightly, her lips turned white.

She always knew that Huo Yanzhou protected her so well just because of the kidney in her body.

Although he didn't want to accept this fact, he always comforted himself that in Huo Yanzhou's heart, she had weight.

but now.....

It's her own fault.

"I know." She gritted her teeth.

"I'll stay peacefully in the small bungalow during this period. If you have any needs, just tell the housekeeper directly. If you go out again and get caught by them, I won't have the leisure to go back to the imperial capital to save you." Huo Yanzhou said. After threatening him at the end, he hung up the phone.

Yuan Yuan stared at her cell phone, which had a long black screen, biting her lip.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and immediately smashed the phone.

The huge noise attracted the housekeeper and nanny outside the door.

Looking at the broken mobile phone on the ground, the housekeeper waved to the nanny to clean it up. She walked to Yuan Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Miss Yuan, what happened?"

"No." She responded coldly.

"Do you need me to send someone to deliver you a new mobile phone?" the housekeeper asked.

"Ah."

Yuan Yuan didn't care if she made trouble in front of the housekeeper, because her status around Huo Yanzhou was different.

The housekeeper narrowed his eyes, said nothing more, and took the nanny out.

Yuan Yuan sat on a chair, and after a moment of silence, she clenched her fists.

It seemed that she still had to contact that person.

----

Jiang Qi and the others spent about three days but still couldn't find out who the perpetrator was at the event.

It was the first time they encountered such a setback, and it was a big blow to the three of them.

The three of them came to Langting early, claiming they were here to have breakfast. In fact, they came specifically to discuss matters with Huo Yanzhou.

Su Youchen looked at Xiang Xuan opposite who was having breakfast and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going to the group with Brother Ninth later?"

Xiang Xuan hummed.

He couldn't help complaining about Brother Ninth, "Brother Ninth, my sister-in-law is going to your group for a one-month internship. Is this how you exploit your sister-in-law?"

Xiang Xuan said: "I injured my left hand."

Su Youchen: "..." I dare him to say this too much.

The next second, he was patted on the back of the head by Jiang Qi, "It's the matter between Lao Jiu and the other two. What are you doing in such a high way?"

Su Youchen said: "It is everyone's responsibility to care for the injured."

Shen Qiuting smiled and said, "Brother Ninth is also injured."

Su Youchen waved his hand: "Brother Ninth is used to getting hurt, so that little injury is nothing to Brother Ninth. But my sister-in-law is different, she is a girl."

"You make it sound as if we don't know how to care about women." Jiang Qi snorted.

"Fourth, you are picking on me again!"

"Nothing big or small." Jiang Qi stretched out his hand to hit again, but who would have thought that Su Youchen dodged him this time.

"A little, a little, but you can't beat it." Su Youchen finished the last bite, got up and ran to the living room.

Jiang Qi dismissed the childish comment and continued eating.

Seeing how noisy they were, Huo Yanzhou had long been accustomed to it, and said to Xiang Xuan, "Wait a little while, and we will go out together."

"Ah."

Xiang Xuan continued to sit and eat, while the four of them slowly went upstairs.

Butler Zhang also thoughtfully asked her if she wanted to add more food, nodded politely to Xuan, and refilled the originally empty bowl.

At this moment, in the study.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Jiang Qi changed his relaxed expression and said seriously to Huo Yanzhou: "I always feel that something is wrong with this situation. How come I can't investigate anything and have no clue."

Huo Yanzhou, who had already sat down, moved his eyes slightly and pursed his mouth into a straight line.

Shen Qiuting crossed his arms and expressed his thoughts: "It is not difficult to guess that such a situation will occur. First, he knows us very well, especially Ninth Brother. Second, even the poison was prepared in advance for the sneak attack that day, which shows that He was well prepared and would not leave any traces of himself at all. But the sudden appearance of my sister-in-law at that time was an accident."

Finally, he frowned solemnly, "Brother Ninth, even if my sister-in-law said she didn't see that person's face at that time, I wonder if that person had murderous thoughts towards my sister-in-law?"

Huo Yanzhou had already thought of this problem.

"Xiang Xuan will be with me recently, and nothing will happen."

Su Youchen pressed his arm on the armrest, tilted his head, and said, "But Brother Jiu, my sister-in-law is not with you all the time. In the past two days, she even drove out by herself."

Shen Qiuting nodded: "Brother Ninth, Ah Chen is right."

Huo Yanzhou also recalled the number of times Xiang Xuan went out in the past two days and frowned slightly.

That girl has always had her own way of doing things, and he can't control her at all.

After a long time, he ordered: "Focus on Sivens."
