“She’s fine.” Huo Junren released his sister and untied her bonds. “Ya Wu, go rest in the car first.”
“Okay.” Huo Ya Wu nodded obediently and was escorted out of the secret room by the police officer.
Huo Junren walked around to Shao Pingxi’s back and helped her loosen the ropes on her hands.
To prevent the hostage from escaping, the kidnappers had bound her tightly, and after removing the coarse hemp rope, a conspicuous red mark appeared on her snow-white skin.
That red mark deeply embedded itself in Huo Junren’s sharp, starry eyes, causing pain in every nerve.
With her bonds gone, Shao Pingxi exhaled, relieved that her hands were no longer tied.
“Thank…” Just as she was about to express gratitude, suddenly—
A strong arm suddenly spread open, embracing her tightly from behind, catching her completely off guard.
After a few seconds, she regained her senses, “You…”
“Don’t move, don’t speak, be quiet for a minute.” His magnetic, charming voice sounded in her ear.
He wanted to hold her quietly for a minute, to feel that she was in his arms and that he hadn’t lost her.
God knows how worried he had been when he learned she had been kidnapped!
Undoubtedly, he was concerned about his sister’s safety, but he was even more worried about Shao Pingxi’s situation!
The thought that Shao Pingxi might disappear from this world, leaving him forever, made his heart feel completely empty.
Fortunately! She was fine, not a hair harmed.
For just this minute, he wanted to forget all emotional entanglements and simply feel the joy of her existence.
As Huo Junren hoped, Shao Pingxi remained motionless, not uttering a single word, allowing him to hold her silently.
She closed her eyes, sharing this brief but unforgettable minute with him.
At the police station, after recounting the kidnapping, Huo Ya Wu pulled her brother aside to share a very important message—
“Brother, Pingxi sister told me in the abandoned house—she loves you! From the day she met you! She still loves you now! It’s absolutely true. At that moment, with life and death uncertain, Pingxi sister couldn’t possibly be lying!”
Upon hearing this, Huo Junren was stunned. She… still loved him? Could he believe it?
Deep down, he desperately hoped that “she still loves him” was a statement, not a question!
