o take a step, I will shoot Miss Li. Hand or foot, I won't take her life, but if she gets shot many times and bleeds too much, don't blame me.She was drugged and her strength hadn't recovered yet, sh...Something else fell into the center of the lake, and ripples spread out from her face toward the front, churning up a dozen or so rings.

Only then did she see that someone was splashing water!

Just as she was about to run away in panic—

I have something to do in Guangcheng later, are you coming with me

She was startled and turned around to see 19-year-old Huo Mingzheng sitting cross-legged on the other side of a thicket of bushes. He idly twirled a stone in his hand before flicking it lightly onto the surface of the lake.

The sound of water splashing incessantly.

Her heart started racing too.

After a long silence, she found her voice again. “But today is New Year's Eve.”

Huo Mingzheng stood up from the stone steps. The military academy was under closed management, and she hadn't seen him for several months. His features had become even more profound, his facial lines more mature, and even his voice was deeper and more magnetic than a few months ago.

He smiled ambiguously, "You've been out for so long, have you seen anyone looking for you"

She pursed her lips and shook her head. Let alone finding her, no one even noticed that she had left.

Ho Mingzheng patted his hands and turned on the faucet used by gardeners to water plants to wash his hands.

She was still lost in thought, suddenly her forehead was tapped by his icy finger, "Are you going or not"

She immediately came to her senses, touching the cold water on her forehead. Yet, it felt as if she had been burned inside.

Watching his tall figure, she hurried to catch up with him, excitedly exclaiming, "I'm going too!"

Ho Mingzheng saw her off back to Nancheng early in the morning, just before the Spring Festival greetings began. She dozed off against the airplane seat, her body fragrant with flowers, a lion hat clutched in her arms, and pockets overflowing with snacks she couldn't finish.

She really dreamed of her father.

That year, she was fifteen years old, sitting beside Huo Mingzheng, who was twenty.

In a few days, she would turn twenty-five. Standing before her was Huo Mingzheng, who was about to turn thirty, willing to give his life for Li Qin.

All this time, for ten years, she had been weaving her own dreams.

She seemed to have lost her soul, murmuring, “Ten years. You know nothing. You didn't know how heartbroken I was when I heard if Big Brother couldn't pull himself together, you would give up on military school. I tried my best to cheer him up, but in the end, you still gave up. I cried all night, so sad. Finally, I gathered the courage to tell you, but you were with Li Qin instead. I know, none of this is your fault. The fault is mine. I shouldn't have, shouldn't have fallen for you. Now, I finally get what I deserve. It's my own doing.”

Huo Mingzheng's fingers at his side trembled because they were clenched tightly.

The distant lighthouse shone in his eyes, sparks of fire flickering in the depths.

"That's enough!" Kevin roared, he was sick and tired of the back-and-forth between Huo Mingzheng and that woman!

However, just as his emotions surged, the gun barrel left Li Qin's temple!

Fu Yan only felt a chill run down her spine, a sweaty hand engulfed hers, and the gun was pointed at Kevin.

With a bang, the bullet struck Kevin on the back of his hand!

As the firearm discharged, Sauron raised his shooting gun toward Kevin, while Cao Fang swiftly leaped forward to save Li Qin!

"Miss Li!" Cao Fang helped her to the side.

Li Qin, through Cao Fang's broad shoulders, looked in the direction of the staircase on the right. Huo Mingzheng snatched the gun from Fu Yan's hand and pulled her into his arms as if nothing had happened. Her already pale face turned even paler.

Kevin was shot. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

He fell to the ground and suddenly let out a sinister laugh. As he opened his coat, a circle of explosives strapped around his waist was revealed!

None of you can escape!ended to doBut she didn't dare to ask.Ms. Li's mood was unpredictable, and she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering her. If it weren't for the fact that the wages offered by the Huo famil...
