Chapter 92

The sun was gradually setting, its twilight rays casting a golden veil over the land.

The wind blew, rustling abandoned plastic bags on the rooftop.

Huo Xiaozheng dragged Jiang Suyuan with one hand, strolling casually towards the edge.

Huo Xiaozheng pulled Jiang Suyuan's body, making him stand on the edge of the roof.

Jiang Suyuan glanced down.

At least six stories high, if he fell, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

Jiang Suyuan tried his best to steady his voice, but a slight tremor still escaped.

"Have you considered your daughter's future in doing this? If you act, she'll forever be known as a murderer's daughter."

Huo Xiaozheng, like him, stood at the edge of the roof, gazing out at the vast fields.

The setting sun had painted half the sky red, unbelievably beautiful.

"Jiang Suyuan, only with your deaths will my daughter have a future."

These words sent chills down Jiang Suyuan's spine.

"Spare Zhi Yi," Jiang Suyuan said, calmer now. "I can write a suicide note, proving I took my own life."

He turned to look at the crazed man beside him: "You wouldn't want other children to suffer the same fate as your daughter, would you?"

Huo Xiaozheng's gaze gradually settled into silence as the sun disappeared.

"Jiang Suyuan, you've got it wrong."

"What do I care about others' lives or deaths?"

As he spoke, his fingers slowly began to loosen...

Jiang Suyuan closed his eyes in despair.

"La la la la la la la..."

A sudden burst of music rang out.

Huo Xiaozheng's brow twitched slightly.

It was Ningning's personalized ringtone.

He pulled out his phone and answered: "Ningning?"

The nearby bodyguard swiftly steadied Jiang Suyuan's body.

"Dad, where are you?"

Hearing Ningning's voice, Huo Xiaozheng's eyes suddenly reddened.

He said hoarsely, "Daddy's out. Are you hungry?"

Hearing this, Huo Guining's nose also began to tingle with emotion.

But hearing the howling wind on the other end of the phone, her unease only grew.

"I'm hungry. Can you buy me some fish porridge from Xiang Ji?"

Ningning's voice sounded a bit dry, her speech slow and somewhat pleading.

Huo Xiaozheng replied gently, "Daddy will go buy it for you now. Wait for daddy, don't fall asleep."

He took out his phone, snapped a photo of Ningning, and spoke into it: "Mom, Ningning's awake. Can you make some nourishing soup and bring it over?"

Shen Shiyan shook his head and walked to Ningning's side. "Ningning, how do you feel?"

Huo Guining pursed her lips: "My head feels a bit fuzzy, but otherwise, I feel okay."

Shen Shiyan performed an examination: "And your chest?"

"No tightness or pain."

Shen Shiyan said gently, "Ningning, people with chest discomfort should avoid strong emotional fluctuations."

Huo Guining lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I..."

Shen Shiyan reached out and patted her head: "No need to apologize, Ningning. You did very well."

Though he didn't know what had happened to Ningning at the Qin family, Huo Yueze immediately affirmed her.

"Sister, don't doubt yourself. You're the best!"

Shen Shiyan: ...

Huo Guining smiled gently.

"Uncle Shen means that no matter what happens, your safety should be your first priority."

"Whether it's your father, your brother, or anyone important you might meet in the future."

"No matter who it is, their importance can't surpass your own."

Huo Guining thought: No, she was bound by rules. To her, Huo Xiaozheng was more important than herself.

But she couldn't say that.

So Huo Guining maintained her smile and nodded obediently: "Mm! I understand!"

Shen Shiyan gave some precautions and then left the room.

Huo Yueze, as usual, sat by her bed, chattering away.

"Sister, you slept for over a week. You really scared me."

"Aunt also came many times, but you were always sleeping. She's mean, she beat me up while you were asleep."

Huo Guining smiled: "Why?"

If he told his sister that he had cried so uncontrollably, it would be too embarrassing.

So, Huo Yueze said: "Because I told Aunt that every time I talk to you, your heartbeat speeds up."

"But when Aunt chats with you, your heartbeat stays steady."

Huo Guining was stunned.

"Did Aunt chat with me?"

Huo Yueze grinned proudly: "See? You really didn't hear."

"Although I don't know what Aunt actually said to you, Uncle Shen said that Aunt always chats with you when I'm not around."

Huo Guining tried hard to remember...

"Bang!"

The door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.
