The words had barely ceased when no echo followed.
Huo Jinnan touched his gun, set it atop his wrist as the bullet swiftly entered the chamber, and he took step by step forward.
He shot Qin Shaojin a look and arrived at the door of the first room, gently pushing it open.
Qin Shaojin’s vision, extraordinary beyond ordinary people’s, swept around the room before he shook his head.
No sooner had Huo Jinnan reached the next room’s door than his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Huo Bei, he answered the call.
Huo Bei spoke softly, "Sir, the electronic surveillance has been destroyed, we weren’t able to find anything."
"Alright. I got it."
Huo Jinnan hung up, approached, and gently pushed open the door; hearing no unusual noises, he looked towards Qin Shaojin, who shook his head again.
Upon reaching the third room, opening the door, Ye Bai sat quietly on the sofa, looking at Huo Jinnan and Qin Shaojin, "You are more formidable than I’ve imagined."
Huo Jinnan, not expecting Ye Bai, looked at him with a frown knitting his brows.
Then seeing his white shirt and black pants, and realizing this was the room Huo Jinxue would stay over the weekend, "The one who saved Huo Jinxue, was it you?"
"Yep."
Huo Jinnan scrutinized him, "Why?"
Ye Bai, who disliked lying, replied in a low voice, "I just happened to be there. Wouldn’t you have intervened as well?"
Huo Jinnan lit a cigarette, took a puff, "Yes, I would have intervened, but the excuse of just happening to be there seems a bit too far-fetched."
"..."
Ye Bai said no more.
He didn’t like lying, it truly wasn’t a re coincidence, and if it weren’t for the task Huo Jindong gave him, he would never casually appear at the cri scene.
He hadn’t expected Huo Jinnan to believe him anyway; believe it or not.
Huo Jinnan stared at Ye Bai, "Since you’ve co, you’re a guest, co downstairs and join us for dinner."
Ye Bai thought about going back at this hour, Huo Jindong surely would’ve already eaten.
He had saved Huo Jinnan’s sister; snagging a al couldn’t be considered too presumptuous, right?
"Okay."
Hearing his straightforward acceptance surprised Huo Jinnan.
While Qin Shaojin, standing aside, had no idea what just happened.
He stepped aside and rang Shen You, "It’s all clear now, you can co in."
The three of them went downstairs together, arrived in the living room, Yu Zimu, and Shen You were already eating dumplings.
Qin Huan’s gaze fell on Ye Bai, dressed in white and black, then onto the little one.
In fact, she heard nothing and completely missed anything amiss.
The genes must have been inherited from Huo Jinnan!
However, Huo Jinxue, from the mont she saw Ye Bai, couldn’t shift her gaze away!
It was him!
The man who had saved her.
Recalling how he effortlessly dealt with several people, her heartbeat ramped up instantly.
Ye Bai was made uncomfortable under Huo Jinxue’s stare.
The little one gently prodded Huo Jinxue, "Aunt, can you be a bit more reserved?"
Huo Jinxue’s cheeks flushed, "What does a brat know."
She smiled towards Ye Bai, "Thank you for saving today."
"No need for thanks, I was just passing by."
Ye Bai sat there, his expression indifferent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
He lowered his gaze to a bowl of dumplings in front of him, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and quietly started eating.
Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan’s eyes landed on Qin Huan, "He lives in the sa place we visited last ti."
Qin Huan quickly understood, Ye Bai and Mayor Jin were living together.
Having saved Jinxue, could it be that Mayor Jin was really the elder brother?
Her gaze at Huo Jinnan tightened.
Huo Jinnan sat next to Qin Huan, noticing Yu Zimu, Shen You, and Qin Shaojin all looking at him, filled with curiosity about Ye Bai, but with no intent to explain, he picked up a dumpling and ate one, asking Ye Bai, "Is the taste to your liking?"
