Yan Xiaoxi heard Huo Bei’s voice, and it startled her.
She looked at Jin Bo, placed her slender fingers on her red lips, and gently hushed, signaling him to stay quiet.
Huo Bei, "Xiaoxi?"
Yan Xiaoxi quickly responded, "Brother, it’s nothing, there was a mouse in the room, it suddenly rushed out and scared me."
Huo Bei, "You’re still awake, aren’t you?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "I was asleep!"
Huo Bei, "Put on some clothes, I’m coming in to help you deal with the mouse."
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the older man.
Jin Bo’s hand was hanging on the balcony, looking at Yan Xiaoxi, gesturing for her to send Huo Bei away.
Yan Xiaoxi felt complicated.
Although she didn’t want the old man to succeed, what if her brother came in and scared the old man into falling down?
The floor was so high—
It was not just a dangerous concept, falling would be fatal!
After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked toward the door, "Brother, it’s so late, maybe we shouldn’t deal with it now?"
Huo Bei, "If it sneaks onto your bed at night, it might scare you."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Huo Bei, "Put on some clothes and come out, sleep on the sofa first."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Brother, it’s very late."
Huo Bei was still uneasy, recalling that someone had planned to kidnap Xiaoxi the other day. Could someone have come in?
He had a bad feeling and stood silently at the door for a while before suddenly kicking it open.
Yan Xiaoxi was startled, "Brother..."
Huo Bei was already on the balcony, "Who’s there?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
She looked in the direction of the balcony railing; the old man was already gone. He probably hadn’t fallen, right?
Her heart was pounding uneasily, her heartbeat somewhat erratic.
Huo Bei looked at Yan Xiaoxi and noticed she was properly dressed, quickly checking on her, "Xiaoxi, are you okay?"
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Huo Bei, guilty, "I’m fine."
Huo Bei was standing on the balcony, glanced downward, didn’t see anyone, and since Xiaoxi was alone there, he couldn’t chase after them.
Yan Xiaoxi stood by, hearing him make a phone call to get someone to search downstairs.
She wondered how the old man was doing?
Hopefully, he hadn’t been discovered.
The mayor himself, if word got out, how would he face people?
Huo Bei glanced at the balcony; it was open-air, making it easy for someone to climb in and take advantage.
He looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Why don’t you stay at my place, or we can enclose the balcony."
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the balcony, "This is a rented house, is that okay?"
Huo Bei, "Then stay at my place; it’s safer."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Huo Bei recalled earlier, "Did you see who it was?"
Yan Xiaoxi shook her head, "I just saw a hand appear over the balcony railing, screamed, and then you came. I guess the person ran away when they heard your voice."
Huo Bei looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Then why were you on the balcony?"
Yan Xiaoxi’s heart was a bit chaotic, did her brother always have such logical thinking!
"I didn’t hear any noise for a while, and the hand was gone, so I came to check."
Huo Bei looked at Yan Xiaoxi with concern, very seriously said, "In the future, in similar situations, don’t take such risks. It’s dangerous, understand?"
Yan Xiaoxi nodded, "Understood."
Huo Bei, worried that Xiaoxi wouldn’t take it seriously, added, "The person might have a gun. Don’t act like this in the future. Call me if you hear anything."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Okay."
Besides this, she didn’t know what to say!
Huo Bei saw Yan Xiaoxi’s face was very red, worried the person might have used something like Aphrodisiac Incense, "Xiaoxi, let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up first."
