Chapter 744

Huo Nanchen heard her stammering and a terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in his heart.

Zhou Yunxi had been the one who had been talking about Ruo Chu’s background. She had said that Ruo Chu was the daughter of the Ning family because she had successfully matched Zhou Yunxi’s memories. She had always thought that she was right However, she had never really compared the results of the DNA test to see if Ruo Chu was the daughter of the Ning family.

Perhaps, Ruo Chu was not the daughter of the Ning family at all?

This thought only flashed across his mind

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside, startling Gu Ruochu to look outside. It was pitch-black inside and extremely frightening. However, when it lit up outside, she could clearly see the shadow of a woman.

“Huo Nanchen, there seems to be someone in the room. ”

“What? ”

Fear surfaced in Gu Ruochu’s heart. She even saw the woman’s face flash before her eyes. Her breathing quickened and for the first time, she felt that reality was even more terrifying than the nightmare she had just experienced.

“Hubby, I think I saw someone outside, right on that French window. ”

Huo Nanchen became alert and hugged her even tighter. There was only a trace of rain on the huge French window, not a single person could be seen.

“Don’t be afraid, there’s no one else. ”

Gu Ruochu could not believe that she had just been hallucinating after being frightened in the middle of the night.

“Hubby, call the bodyguards in, quick! ”

“Alright, don’t be afraid. ” Huo Nanchen reached for his phone. After a call, a few bodyguards quickly came down from upstairs.

As bodyguards, they had to be by their employer’s side at all times. However, Gu Ruochu and the others did not have many enemies or problems, so it was rare for them to be called down in the middle of the night.

The door to the bedroom opened as soon as they reached the door. A few bodyguards immediately searched the brightly lit room for something while Huo nanchen carried Gu Ruochu to the door.

“That woman might have climbed down to the floor-to-ceiling window just now. Should we go out and look for her? ”

Gu Ruochu’s hands were tightly wrapped around Huo Nanchen’s neck at the door of the bedroom. She felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought of the blurry face that had just flashed past her.

That figure that had flashed past was definitely not her imagination!

“Young Master, Young Madam, there’s nothing wrong with the room. ”

The two bodyguards walked around and checked the room carefully. They even took out high-tech equipment and instruments to detect explosives and other sensitive chemicals in the room. They only stopped when they realized that it was completely safe.

“Don’t worry, young master. There’s nothing unusual inside. ”

“listen to the young Madam. Go outside and check if there’s anyone there. ”

The two bodyguards nodded and quickly flashed out of the room.

The lightning flashed once again and rumbled

The white lightning illuminated the person’s face. Gu Ruochu’s heart had not slowed down and her body was still tensed. “Nanchen, I’m not seeing things. I really saw someone lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window just now. ”

“Be good, I know. ”

Huo Nanchen knew that she had been thoroughly shocked tonight. She had just finished her nightmare when she saw a figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Anyone else would have been too scared to make a sound.

He reached out to rub her head and pressed her whole body against his chest, “should we go out and take a look? Maybe we can see something. ”

“Okay. ”

Curiosity was more than fear. Besides, she was not a weak person.

Huo Nanchen took out a black coat from his room and wrapped her up from head to toe. The rain-soaked coolness was completely dispelled.

“Let’s go. ”

Huo Nanchen held a big black umbrella and followed a few bodyguards out of the door.
