Xia Zhi took out her phone and looked at the time. It was getting late.

Chu Nan called her an hour ago, but Xia Zhi had muted her phone when she entered the villa and missed the call.

Xia Zhi cast a glance at Lin Wang, who was unconscious on the ground. After some hesitation, she located someone with a black profile picture and messaged them. [Send some forces to the old mansion. Ensure that the individual inside remains alive. Don’t give him the chance to end himself and keep your guard up!]

Xia Zhi dialed Chu Nan’s number after sending the message, and the call was answered quickly.

Xia Zhi cleared her throat and asked, “Were you looking for me?”

“I’m outside the door.” Chu Nan whispered.

Xia Zhi frowned. She didn’t understand why Chu Nan would tell her this, but she still replied him patiently, “I’m not in the hospital now. You can just go in.”

“I’m outside the villa.”

After Xia Zhi hung up the phone, she stood there in disbelief for a while. When she opened the door, she found Chu Nan seated in a wheelchair. He had the same expression as always, making it impossible to tell how he felt just by looking at him.

As Xia Zhi emerged from the building, Chu Nan asked, “Have you settled it? When you’re finished, I’m taking you to the hospital.”

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and looked at the calm Chu Nan. After a long pause, she declared, “It’s settled. Let’s go.”

Xia Zhi looked back at the villa for a final glance before leaving. Lin Wang’s body was blocked by the wall, so Chu Nan shouldn’t have been able to see him from where he was. However, the villa was not soundproof.

Xia Zhi had never experienced fear before, but she was momentarily apprehensive.

Xia Zhi followed Chu Nan into the car.

When Xia Zhi got in the car, she stared at Chu Nan’s handsome side profile in a daze. After what felt like an eternity, she finally asked quietly, “When did you arrive?”

Chu Nan turned to face Xia Zhi after hearing her question. He paused for thought and then said somberly, “I arrived about twenty minutes ago. I couldn’t reach you, so I asked Chen Feng to call Zhao Shan. She said that you came to the old mansion, so I followed you”

Xia Zhi was dazed. Finally, she said, “You were here for so long. Why didn’t you just come in?”

“I didn’t want to interrupt you,” Chu Nan replied after some thought.

“Oh.” Xia Zhi responded. After a few seconds, she asked Chu Nan seriously, “Now that you’ve seen the monster beneath the surface, are you disappointed?”

Chu Nan was stunned for a moment. He could not help but rub Xia Zhi’s head gently and spoke with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to be worried over something like this.”

Xia Zhi’s face immediately turned red, but at the same time, she asked Chu Nan fiercely, “What do you mean? Are you mocking me?”

“Of course not!” Chu Nan denied it immediately and explained himself. “I liked that side of you. I don’t have to worry about you being bullied by others. Besides, Zhizhi, have you forgotten that I’m not a good person? I should be the one afraid to know what you think of the monster inside me.”

Xia Zhi read his diversion from a mile away. Even so, she still took the bait and said, “It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. If anything, this only means that we’re compatible.”

Chu Nan smiled and nodded. After a short pause, he asked, “Zhizhi, do you need me to get rid of that person?”

“No need,” Xia Zhi refused. “I’ve already arranged for someone to handle it.”

“Alright.” Chu Nan nodded.

Even so, Chu Nan still decided to have Chen Feng observe the situation to aid Xia Zhi in the future.

When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Chu Nan wanted to go in with Xia Zhi, but Chen Feng suddenly mentioned that he had a meeting to attend.

Chu Nan looked up at Chen Feng and said coldly, “Push.”

Chen Feng was in a tight spot. After all, this was a crucial meeting for the business. After some consideration, his eyes turned to Xia Zhi with a pleading look.
