"sir, is miss huo alright?" uncle li asked.

chen yanzhuo shook his head, "she might have to stay here for a few days. we need to close the winery this week, so we don't want outsiders to come in."

"yes." uncle li nodded in agreement.

"alright, there's nothing else. you can all go rest now." chen yanzhuo ordered.

old li and little du glanced at each other, not daring to say anything more.

at this moment, chen yanzhuo's phone rang again. he took out his phone from his pocket and checked the caller id. it was zhao wei.

he picked up the phone. "what's the matter?"

"i heard something happened to miss huo. how is she?" it was zhao wei's worried voice on the other end of the phone.

"it's nothing serious, i suffered some superficial wounds."

"did the people from cobra do it?" zhao wei asked.

"no, it's just a taxi driver who wants to have s.e.x. speaking of which, it's all my fault, i shouldn't have invited her to the party just to see her, and even more so, i shouldn't have let her pretend to be my girlfriend, drag her into this case, and let her know about the cobra. if it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have left on her own. " chen yanzhuo's voice was filled with self-blame.

"boss, you don't have to blame yourself. it was just an accident." zhao wei comforted him.

"it was an accident this time. what about next time?" chen yanzhuo's voice was filled with a sense of crisis.

zhao wei: "next time? will there be a next time? "

"as long as i don't stay by her side to protect her, her danger will increase by one more day." chen yanzhuo said.

"what do you mean?" hearing this, zhao wei seemed to realize something.

"when the cobra case is over, take care of the impostor, and i'll drop everything." at that time, he would be able to peacefully stay together with her until he was old.

"in the past few years, you have indeed contributed too much to the organization. i believe that everyone will respect your decision. "oh, right. miss huo told me that she found out about your deal with shi hu and the others. she wanted to call the police, but i stopped her."

"cobra should be in touch with me in the next few days. i'll tell her the truth when the case is over."

"boss, are you really going to tell her your real ident.i.ty?"

"if it wasn't for her safety, i wouldn't be hiding this from her." knowing how sad her life had been in the past period of time, his heart ached. if not for his special ident.i.ty, he would have immediately appeared in front of her after his body recovered.

zhao wei was silent for a moment, then said: "don't worry, i'll get yu hui to quickly investigate the real ident.i.ty of that imposter. i won't let this matter drag on for too long."

"oh right, on hui hui, contact her and tell her not to tell anyone else anything about me. she has already leaked the information to xi wen." chen yanzhuo ordered again.

"alright, don't worry. i'll contact her later." zhao wei agreed. the two of them exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.

chen yanzhuo got up and walked out of the house. the night in the suburbs was very quiet, and the stars were shining overhead. it was obvious that tomorrow would be an incomparably clear and bright day.

he lit a cigarette outside. under the night sky, his figure seemed somewhat lonely. on the second floor, the lights in the room had already been extinguished. the entire winery fell into silence.

after finishing the cigarette, he turned around and returned to the villa. he went upstairs, and just as he was about to go to his room to rest, he suddenly heard a terrified sound from inside as he pa.s.sed by huo xiwen's bedroom door.

he pushed the door open and walked in. in the darkness, he could vaguely see huo xiwen lying on the bed, waving both of his hands in the air.

he walked up and turned on the bedside lamp. under the dim warm orange light, huo xiwen's forehead was covered in sweat.

"xi wen, xi wen …" his hand gently patted her shoulder, waking her up.

the moment huo xiwen opened his eyes, he couldn't even see who was sitting beside his bed. he could only instinctively feel that this figure was someone she was familiar with, and she directly dove into his chest with her head lowered. her hands tightly hugged his waist as she said, "fu muyun, don't leave me, i'm afraid that there are bad people, there are a lot of bad people …"

she began to cry.

tears soaked into his shirt, causing his heart to ache from the pain.

he reached out and gently embraced her slender body, then gently patted her back with his warm big palm. "i'm here, there's no need to be afraid. there aren't any bad guys here …"

when huo xiwen heard his voice, he increasingly believed that the person he was hugging was fu muyun. no matter what, she would not let him go.

after a long stalemate, she finally fell back into a deep sleep, and the arms around his waist finally relaxed a little.

he leaned his head against his chest and slept in a not very comfortable position.

looking at the sleeping figure in his arms, chen yanzhuo moved his body in an attempt to make her sleep more comfortably, but before he could gently put his hand on her shoulder, the hand around his waist tightened slightly, as if afraid he would run away.

the two of them maintained this strange posture the entire time, unable to separate or let go of each other.

the next day, at 7: 30 in the morning, the sunlight shone in from outside the window like gold onto a satin quilt. huo xiwen slowly opened his eyes, looked around at the somewhat unfamiliar environment, and his brain froze for a few seconds.

suddenly recalling what happened to her last night, she seemed to come back to her senses. she sat up on the bed and realized that she was only wearing her clothes. the dress she wore last night had already been torn apart and tossed to the side.

wrapping the sheet around her body, she rolled over and was about to get out of bed to find someone.

however, after her feet landed on the ground, a heart-wrenching pain came. she suddenly realized that her feet were injured.

because her feet couldn't handle it, she fell to the ground. at this moment, the door to the room was pushed open by someone, and a female worker came in from the winery with a bottle of water. seeing her fall to the ground, she immediately put down the basin and prepared to help her.

at this time, chen yanzhuo happened to pa.s.s by the door of the room. seeing this scene, the female worker entered the room first and directly picked up the person lying on the floor and put him back on the bed.

"your feet can't get off the ground right now. take care of them on the bed." he warned her after putting her down.

huo xiwen felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. after all, she was only wearing a close-fitting set of clothes right now, and didn't even have a single piece of clothes that could be seen by others.

at this moment, the female worker brought the water over, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to her. "miss huo, please wash your face first. i'll bring you your breakfast later."

huo xiwen took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth. after washing up, the female worker retreated, and saw chen yanzhuo standing at the side looking at her, and said, "you haven't finished answering the questions i asked you last night. can you give me the answers now?"
