"No need." Huo Xi Wen waved his hand without looking back.
"I won't take any more from you." The driver was still shouting.
However, Huo XIwen had already strode through the district's iron gate, completely ignoring him.
As he was not a resident of this district, Huo XIwen did not have the key. When he entered the district, he was stopped outside the gate.
The security guard at the door saw that she was standing there and seemed to be at a loss of what to do. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you looking for someone?"
"Mhm, my boyfriend lives here. We arranged to meet today, but he arrived and hasn't appeared yet. I called him but he didn't answer. I'm worried something happened to him." Brother, can you let me go in and see him? " Huo XIwen rolled his eyes as he made up some nonsense.
The security guard looked her up and down and saw that she was covered with famous brands and was extremely beautiful. Especially her pair of big beautiful eyes. They flickered as if they knew how to speak, making it impossible for anyone to reject her.
"Which one does your boyfriend live in?" the security guard asked.
"This..." How could Huo XIwen know which house he lived in? The last time she came here, she hadn't even noticed.
The security guard noticed her hesitant expression and asked, "Don't you know where your boyfriend lives?"
"I..." She really didn't know.
Seeing her hesitating, the security guard started to suspect her, "Miss, are you lying?"
"Liar? Who said I lied? How could I lie? I just never noticed which house he lived in, and I know the road." Huo XIwen straightened his neck and spoke righteously.
Just as she finished speaking, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She took out her cell phone from her bag and saw that it was from Chen Yanzhuo. She immediately picked up the phone: "Chen Yanzhuo, why didn't you pick up my call?"
"I was just taking a shower. I didn't hear my cell phone ring." Chen Yanzhuo replied from the other end of the phone.
"Then you're at home right now, come and pick me up at the entrance of your sector. The big brother security said I'm lying and won't let me in." Huo XIwen immediately said.
"Alright, wait for me at the door." Chen Yanzhuo said as he hung up the phone.
After putting the phone back into her bag, she looked up with a smug look at the security guard, "Okay, my boyfriend is coming to pick me up. Even if you invite me in, I won't go in."
When the security guard heard this, his mouth twitched twice. He didn't know what to say.
Huo XIwen waited at the door for about seven to eight minutes before he saw Chen Yanzhuo walking out from the district unhurriedly. He wore a pair of slippers, a towel around his neck, and his hair was a little wet.
When Huo XIwen saw him, he immediately waved at him, "Chen Yanzhuo, I'm here."
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your girlfriend." When the security guard saw Chen Yanzhuo, he immediately bowed and said.
Chen Yanzhuo waved his hand as if he didn't care at all. He walked straight to Huo XIwen, grabbed her hand and led her directly to the small district.
Huo XIwen's heart slightly trembled the moment he held her hand. However, she did not shake off his hand. She only allowed him to lead her into the district.
Neither of them spoke a word as they advanced towards Chen Yanzhuo's home.
"Sit." After entering the room, Chen Yanzhuo pointed in the direction of the sofa and spoke to her.
However, Huo XIwen didn't rush to take his seat. Instead, he turned around and looked at Chen Yanzhuo, "Chen Yanzhuo, I came to find you because I have something important to tell you."
"I know." Chen Yanzhuo turned around and headed to the bathroom.
Seeing this, Huo XIwen could only sit on the sofa and wait for him.
After a while, he heard the sound of a dryer coming from the direction of the bathroom.
So he had gone to blow his hair. It seemed that he was in a hurry to pick her up at the door, so he didn't even have the time to dry his hair.
A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom. The towel was gone from his neck and his hair was completely dry.
He walked to the sofa and sat down. Then, he crossed his long and slender legs and crossed them elegantly."Tell me, what happened?"
"Tonight, I saw a message on Fu Mujun's cell phone saying that it would be sold at an old garage in the suburbs at 2 o'clock in the morning. I suspect that this is the time and place of the deal they made with the drug dealers, so I called you to let you know that you didn't pick up the phone. I asked Zhao Wei, and he said that you were home, and I saw that you didn't answer the phone, so I came to your house to find you. Huo Xi Wen said.
"You said that you saw this message on Fu Mujun's phone? How did you see his cell phone? " Chen Yanzhuo frowned and asked in confusion.
"It's tonight. Didn't he make an appointment with me? "He took me to his house and personally cooked dinner for me. His jacket was placed on the sofa and his cell phone was placed in the pocket of his jacket. I heard his cell phone ring, so I was afraid it was something important. I couldn't help but take a peek." Huo XIwen explained in detail how he had discovered the information.
As Chen Yanzhuo listened to her description, his brows furrowed even more."You said that Fu Mujun threw the coat with the phone on the sofa?"
"Yeah, is something wrong?" Huo XIwen didn't know what he was wondering.
"Do you think he trusts you now?" Chen Yanzhuo asked.
"I don't know either. Actually, there are many times when I felt like he was testing me. But the next second, he felt like I was overthinking things, so I couldn't see through him." Actually, even Huo XIwen himself wasn't sure if Fu Mujun had 100% faith in him or not.
"For you to have such a feeling, it means that he does not truly believe you. Perhaps this is just another form of probing." Chen Yanzhuo said in a calm voice.
"It can't be?" Huo XIwen couldn't believe it.
"You don't believe me? Maybe he even had a camera installed at his house, so he saw you peeking at his phone." Chen Yanzhuo said.
At this moment, Huo XIwen suddenly remembered that he had coincidentally been caught red-handed when he picked up his phone. He had even specifically asked her if it was a call or a message.
Fortunately, she didn't lie to him at the time.
Thinking about it like this, this could have been a trap set up by him to test himself.
"Does he already suspect me, then?" Huo XIwen began to worry again.
"Perhaps, he never truly trusted you. To him, you are but a chess piece that he can use. Right now, he is testing you, and he only wants to confirm whether your chess piece is still usable by him. However, from the looks of it now, you have passed the test." Chen Yanzhuo said in a low voice.
