She thought that the only person who would give people a sense of security in this world other than her own father would be Yan Qiuyan.

Since he was young, without his father's company, Ling Xiaosu didn't know what was his father's sense of security.

Having spent so much time together, she only felt a tiny bit of peace of mind when she heard from Yan Xu Yan, until she defied the will of the heavens.

She had never seen such a good-looking man. When his thick palms were on her hands, when the people in the mansion were difficult for her to protect, and when Chu Xiaoran beat her to protect her in her arms.

Ling Xiaosu stared blankly at the man standing at the entrance of the alleyway with his back to the light, as a sense of security engulfed her.

Even after so many years, Ling Xiaosu would never forget it. At that time, when she stood in front of him with her back to the dim light, she had never felt at ease before.

"Miss Ling, are you alright?" Zhao Wenjie rushed over and put a coat on Ling Xiaosu.

Ling Xiaosu hugged herself as her T-shirt was torn to shreds.

When Ling Xiaosu raised her head to look at the few men groaning in pain on the ground just now, she saw the gloomy expression on their faces and the obvious hostility on their faces.

Rage, gloom, and a vicious aura. He was a heaven defying official that Ling Xiaosu had never seen before.

"Inverse, heaven-defying official …" Ling Xiaosu called out softly as she wrapped the coat that Zhao Wenjie had put on her.

Looking at the men lying on the floor, the great minister turned to Ling Xiaosu and asked coldly, "Are you all right?"

Ling Xiaosu shook her head slightly as she heard the concern in her voice.

How could he not be afraid? Those people …

"Find out who these people are, immediately!" The heaven defying official ordered Zhao Wenjie at the side.

Zhao Wenjie, who had been frightened by the angry roar of the heaven defying official, shook his body twice and said, "Yes, yes, CEO. I will go investigate immediately." After saying this, Zhao Wenjie did not hesitate and quickly left. He did not want to wait for the CEO to vent her anger on him.

After Zhao Wenjie left, Ling Xiaosu could no longer hold back her tears.

Ling Xiaosu then went up the mountain and hugged him, crying loudly, "I'm scared! I'm scared!"

He was almost destroyed by those people.

After a moment, he carefully hugged Ling Xiaosu, letting Ling Xiaosu bury him in his chest as he cried, until his shirt was soaked.

"Sorry I'm late." Looking at Ling Xiaosu crying sorrowfully, he felt guilty.

The sorrowful Ling Xiaosu shook her head as she wiped away the tears on her shirt.

The night wind blew with a slight chill, and the Clairvoyant lowered his head to look at Ling Xiaosu in his arms.

As his clothes were torn to shreds and only a few pieces of cloth remained on his body, Ling Xiaosu seemed to not be wearing any clothes at all. The heaven defying official could only feel a slight throbbing pain in his temples.

Ling Xiaosu, who was still in her arms, sobbed a little. She calmed down and said, "I've brought the car. Let's go to the car."

Ling Xiaosu raised her head and nodded, distancing herself from the embrace of a heaven defying official.

The man coughed lightly and looked away. He then turned around and walked towards the parking spot with Ling Xiaosu following him step by step.

Under the dim light, Ling Xiaosu looked up and saw a clear water stain on the clothes of the heaven defying official. It was from her crying just now.

Ling Xiaosu touched her face. It felt hot and awkward.

"Keep close." Looking at Ling Xiaosu who was walking with her head down, he reminded her.

Hearing his words, Ling Xiaosu quickened her pace to catch up, but her gaze was still on the ground.

Looking at Ling Xiaosu who was still walking with her head down, "…"

The heaven defying official stopped and sighed. He turned around and walked towards Ling Xiaosu who was behind him.

Ling Xiaosu felt that someone was walking towards him as he looked up at her blankly. He then picked up Ling Xiaosu and wrapped her tightly in his coat.

"Reverse …" Ling Xiaosu said in horror.

"I'll take you to the car first. There'll be a doctor coming to check on you later. You look scared." The heaven defying official said without giving any explanation.

Ling Xiaosu lowered his head and allowed the Heaven Defying Minister to hug him.

Ling Xiaosu was gently placed on the passenger seat as she carefully fastened the seat belt for Ling Xiaosu.

The car drove off, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at the road ahead.

"Just now, I heard …" Ling Xiaosu bit her lips, hesitating on whether she should tell him what she had just heard.

"You can say it directly." This was a heaven defying character.

Ling Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief upon receiving the reply. She quickly told them what she had just heard. "I heard from one of those people that they were ordered by someone else to kidnap me. I don't know who that person is, but he gave them a sum of money."

Collecting money to help others get rid of their troubles.

"I will investigate this matter, you don't have to worry."

Ling Xiaosu didn't want to do anything to those people, but he had to know who wanted to harm him. Ling Xiaosu nodded.

"It's already so late, my family must have all gone to sleep. Just leave me by the door of the nearest inn." Ling Xiaosu suddenly remembered that her mother, who was waiting for her at home, was sleeping. She was too embarrassed to worry about her mother.

"You want to live outside?" Looking at Ling Xiaosu's broken body, he suggested, "You should stay at my place for the night. You can go back tomorrow."

"But!" Ling Xiaosu retorted. It was definitely not appropriate for two men and a woman to live together.

"I have a maid and auntie at home. You don't have to worry about what I'll do," he said. He seemed to be able to read Ling Xiaosu's mind.

Ling Xiaosu wanted to say something, but when she saw the cold eyes of the heaven defying official, she shut her mouth.

The residence of the heaven defying official was a high-class residential area and was very verdant. Ling Xiaosu followed him out of the car.

"Mister Ni, you are back." The maid was an old lady in her fifties.

"Yes." The general nodded and replied, "Go and prepare an empty room for me."

The maid was stunned for a moment before looking at Ling Xiaosu, who had followed behind her. This was …

"What are you standing here for? Hurry up and go." The heaven defying official frowned, feeling a bit impatient.

The maid quickly nodded and went to tidy up the empty room, muttering to herself: This is the first time I've brought a woman back with me.

Ling Xiaosu stood uneasily in the room. This was the first time she had ever been to a man's residence other than Yan Huyan's.

Thinking of killing Yan Qianyin, Ling Xiaosu felt a little depressed.

"I still have things to do. I'll go and take care of them first. You can do whatever you want with me." With that, he walked up the stairs to the second floor, opened the door, and entered the study.

Ling Xiaosu looked at the disappearing figure of the heaven defying official as he thought to himself: I haven't even asked him why he didn't pick up her call yet, and I've already received her message.

Forget it, since I have been saved, there is nothing more to ask. Ling Xiaosu shook off those extravagant thoughts.

"This is the first time I've seen Mister Ni bring his men back." Seeing that he had left, the servant girl walked closer to Ling Xiaosu with a smile, "What kind of person are you?"

Ling Xiaosu was slightly stunned. She couldn't possibly be the fiancee of a heaven defying official, right?
