He looked at the glass seriously, smiling: "Why?"

"Because... he made a lot of money. Do you know the gap between jumping from a third-tier industry to a second-tier wealthy family? There are many, many hundreds of millions of dollars in that."

Nan Zhi propped herself up and raised her hand to count: "There are... 14 people in the country with assets over 8 million, and City A accounts for of them. Why...?"

Because we are in City A, the ones you think are excessive~"

Yan Su narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the girl who provoked him with some displeasure: "Doesn't this further prove that Miss Nan has a motive to hire someone to kill someone?"

"Officer Yan, don't think so badly of us. Although we are not good people, we will avenge our enemies and will not wait so long. Besides, her life is not worth me spending money to find someone to kill her. You think too highly of her."

Bang! The door was pushed open.

They both looked towards the door. Nan Zhi's pupils shrank when she saw who was coming, and a trace of surprise appeared on her nonchalant face.

He stood there, his tall figure lazily leaning against the door frame, wearing a black and white floral shirt with a staggered pattern, which was simple yet fashionable. The collar of the shirt was slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone, revealing a hint of inadvertent sexiness.

His skin appeared even whiter against the black and white contrast, as if it were carefully carved marble, smooth and textured.

His face is feminine and handsome, with delicate features as if they were an artist's masterpiece. His deep eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing a mysterious and charming glow. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth always seem to have a vague smile.

He stood naturally, his hands casually placed in his trouser pockets, and he exuded a calm confidence.

"Are you so happy to see me? Are you staring at me?"

The familiar voice brought Nan Zhi back to her senses. It was as if she saw how he looked when he left in her previous life. He also teased her in the same nonchalant way. After that... she never saw him again...

"Huo Ling? Why are you here?!"

Huo Ling slowly stood up, walked to her desk with his long legs, and glanced at Yan Su beside him: "I think Officer Yan is looking for me? I will be angry if you disturb me like this~"

Nan Zhi looked at them strangely: "Do you know each other?"

Yan Su said with a sly smile: "If it weren't for Miss Nan, I would not have been able to see Mr. Huo today.

Miss Nan, this matter doesn't need to be handled by the Special Investigation Department, but the higher-ups suspect that the deceased is related to Mr. Huo, and Mr. Huo did it for you."

"Outrageous!"

[Shenjin? What does Huo Ling's murder have to do with me? Why does he bother me every day just for this? And... why is Huo Ling here? How does he know I'm here? ]

"I heard the sound of your car driving on the phone. As expected of a car, the sound is particularly nice..." Huo Ling's face froze. Nan Zhi didn't seem to say anything? Where did the sound come from?

[Damn! Did I let you know I was here just by hearing the sound? If someone didn't know, they would think you were spying on me again. But didn't Huo Ling say it had nothing to do with him? Then what's going on with the Special Investigation Department? Could it be that he really killed her? Is he lying to himself again?]

"I didn't..." Huo Ling didn't know whether he should defend himself or not. He didn't even see Nan Zhi open her mouth. Could it be that... Nan Zhi also likes him? Are they in tune with each other? Oh my god... Sure enough, my love will be rewarded.

"Ahem!" He looked at Huo Ling seriously, while Huo Ling kept staring at Nan Zhi. The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Nan Zhi was too weak to hold her forehead.

[What are you doing, Huo Daidai? You already know that they are looking for trouble with you, but why are you still coming? ]

Huo Ling was a little stunned. He heard Nan Zhi calling him Huo Daidai in her heart. He suddenly felt a little happy and could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

"Zizhi, how could I not come when you are here? What if I don't come and you get bullied by him? Look how serious this man is."

Yan Su looked at Huo Ling grabbing Nan Zhi's hand and cueing him lovingly, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "My name is Yan Su!"

"Oh! Don't be afraid, Zhizhi. Brother will protect you." Huo Ling pulled the confused Nan Zhi into his arms, and Nan Zhi's nose hit his chest.

Nan Zhi, who was 165cm tall, was only slightly taller than Huo Ling, who was 189cm tall. With this collision, her lips were directly imprinted on his slightly open shirt’s chest.

Huo Ling obviously felt a nice smile on the corner of his mouth, and then after noticing the serious gaze, he raised his head and used his arms to hold Nan Zhi tighter in his arms, blocking her face.

"Officer Yan, please don't look around and scare us. I don't care if you are from the Special Investigation Department or not."

"Is Mr. Huo threatening the head of the Special Investigation Division?"

"You can assume so."

Yan Su and Huo Ling stared at each other, neither of them giving in.

"Huo Ling! I'm almost suffocating!" Nan Zhi tried several times to push the person in front of her away but failed, and she cried for help with great difficulty.

Huo Ling was stunned and quickly pulled the person out of his arms. He bent down and looked at Nan Zhi nervously. He also tidied her bangs and fanned her.

"Ah! Okay, okay!" Nan Zhi slapped his hand away: "Since Team Leader Yan is looking for you, can I leave now?"

"Miss Nan, please do as you please."

Nan Zhi nodded and left. Seeing her gone, Huo Ling lost interest in pretending to be serious and his face darkened: "Serious, don't set your sights on Nan Zhi. Otherwise, I'm not afraid of you, let alone the entire Special Investigation Department.

If you want to see me, come to Lingdu tomorrow, and I will let my assistant inform you of the time."

Huo Ling picked up Nan Zhi's dropped hairpin and put it in his pocket, then turned and walked out.

Nan Zhi was sitting in the car at the door at this time, with a cigarette between her fingertips.

She has never smoked in her life and hates the smell of cigarettes. She learned this in her previous life and has never smoked since she came back. Why did she learn this?

Because she couldn't imagine how those who didn't drink or smoke could survive when they were unhappy.

"Zhao Tingfei?"

"Sister Nan, I'm here." Zhao Tingfei swallowed and stood straight.

Nan Zhi threw the cigarette box back to him. She was about to scold him, but when she saw Huo Ling coming out, she lost interest in saying anything.

"Go away, go away."

"Yes Yes!"

As soon as Huo Ling came out, he saw the cigarette on her fingertips, and he took it and put it in his mouth: "When did you learn to smoke?"

Nan Zhi glanced at her empty hands and was somewhat speechless: "Are they looking for you okay?"

"Care about me?" Huo Ling showed no emotion as he leaned lazily beside her and smoked her unfinished cigarette, but his heart was about to explode.

"Tsk." Nan Zhi jumped out of the car and walked to the driver's seat: "Huo Ling, you promised me not to bother me anymore, please keep your promise."

Huo Ling narrowed his eyes and slapped the hood of the car: "It's been so many years, and you're still hiding from me?"
