Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Coaxing Her Heart

Three groups reached out to him one after another.

The first group was from Xiao Chaofeng’s subordinates.

The second group, from Lu Huai’an’s subordinates.

And the third, the Southern City Police Station.

"Hello, is this Young Master Huo? This is the Southern City Police Station. Ms. An Ge wants to speak with you. Are you available now?"

[At that moment, Huo Shaoyan was on his way to Jingcheng Hospital], known for its ruthless reputation in the Imperial City. The Lu Family had a distinguished lineage of government officials, and their background was impressive.

If Lu Huai’an desired to escalate the situation, liberating An Ge wouldn’t be easy for Huo Shaoyan. Therefore, he had to visit the hospital and probe Lu Huai’an’s intentions first. Receiving a call from the police station at the peak of his fury triggered an icy response.

"Not now. Let her rot in there," he snapped immediately after the caller finished speaking. Then, he disconnected the call abruptly.

The officer, after the call, directed a cold gaze toward An Ge, stating in a detached tone, "Ms. An, it seems I’ve overestimated you. Young Master Huo doesn’t give a damn about you—he wants you to die in there."

An Ge’s fingers involuntarily clenched as she pressed her lips together, saying, "I... I was acting in self-defense..."

The officer cut her off, "Not my concern. Our boss here can’t afford to offend the Lu Family in the Imperial City. You cracked open the skull of the Lu Family’s young master—smoothing this over won’t be a walk in the park. Moreover, you claim Chairman Lu harassed you? Well, Chairman Lu claims you seduced him."

An Ge’s face turned pale, and she fell silent.

She understood too well the oppressive power of authority. Even Huo Shaoyan wouldn’t easily provoke Lu Huai’an, and she was a nameless woman destined for slaughter.

But she wasn’t resigned.

An Ge bit her lip for a while before pleading with the officer, "Will you please try calling one more time for me..."

The officer’s patience wore thin, "Don’t push your luck with please and thank you."

Quickly, An Ge was escorted away.

She was held alone in a small room barely over twenty square meters, windowless, with only a dim light.

An Ge sat hugging her knees on the hard bed, her mind racing.

If she wanted out, she’d have to seek help from either Lu Huai’an or Huo Shaoyan.

Since Huo Shaoyan had refused her, Lu Huai’an was left.

But she had no desire to plead with Lu Huai’an.

As time unknowingly drifted to night, something inexplicable caused the light bulb to flicker and abruptly explode.

In the pitch-black darkness, an inexplicable fear swiftly engulfed her.

She huddled into a corner, feeling the oppressive darkness and rapidly falling cold invade from all around.

Too cold—it chilled her to the bone.

She couldn’t tell how much time had passed before the metallic clink of keys and the opening of the door echoed, blinding light flooding in as she saw the silhouette of an unusually tall, imposing man standing in the doorway.

He wore a thin, black long coat and held a half-smoked cigarette in one hand, looking almost divine amidst the dazzling light.

An Ge’s heart pounded fiercely in her chest.

Her eyes, reddened from fatigue, fixed unwaveringly on him through the light.

"Waiting to die in here? How about getting out?"

An Ge licked her cracked lips, her voice hoarse, "I...my legs are numb."

Huo Shaoyan took a deep drag of his cigarette, releasing thick rings of smoke before flicking the butt into a trash can.

Entering, he looked down at the disheveled woman.

Her hair was a tangled mess, her lips bruised, her white cardigan stained with unknown blood marks, and her neck bore clear bite marks. He was sure he hadn’t done that.

If it wasn’t him, it could only be Lu Huai’an.

Her bruised lips were probably Lu Huai’an’s doing as well.

A nameless anger flared up suddenly, impossible to suppress no matter how hard he tried.

"You’re just not comfortable unless you’re causing me trouble, aren’t you?"

An Ge rubbed her numbed calf, and as the tingling sensation subsided, she shifted toward the edge of the bed.

Her feet touched the floor, and she attempted to stand by pushing off the bed frame.

But having stayed in the same position for too long, her legs gave out, causing her to collapse back.

But before she fell completely, strong arms encircled her waist, stabilizing her.

Looking up to meet the man’s gaze, An Ge pursed her lips, trying to say something when he scooped her up in his arms.

Startled, An Ge heard him whisper harshly by her ear, "You better behave. If you fall and end up dead, I’m not responsible."

The warmth radiating from him seemed to ease her mind, stirring a greedy desire for more of it.

Her icy hands clung tightly around his neck, burying her face in his chest.

Listening to his heartbeat, she inexplicably felt secure in that moment.

Outside, the temperature plunged further. It was indeed getting colder.

[On the last day of October], someone seemed to have found a place in her heart.

An Ge thought to herself.

Inside the car, it was comfortably warm. An Ge glanced at the man sitting beside her.

His expression was cold, the austerity surrounding him made him unapproachable.

An Ge pressed her lips together before speaking, "Sorry for causing you trouble."

Huo Shaoyan didn’t look at her.

An Ge continued, "I owe you one. I’ll repay you when I get the chance."

"Honestly, it’s not that I underestimate you, but even in your next lifetime, you couldn’t repay this."

An Ge bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, "I won’t take the fifty million reward. I’ll donate my blood without charge for you..."

"Without charge? Do you realize how much trouble you’ve caused me?"

He had invested billions in a medical project in the Imperial City, planning for it to commence in spring. Now, it seemed to be stalled.

With seven stitches on Lu Huai’an’s head, even if he wished to let it slide, the Lu Family wouldn’t.

This matter wasn’t so easily resolved.

Huo Shaoyan continued, "You just stay at Fengqiao Villa for now. You’re not allowed to go anywhere."

An Ge pressed her lips, watching the man’s increasingly inscrutable face, she hesitated before speaking, "If your mother finds out, she won’t be pleased..."

She didn’t finish before the man interrupted coldly, "You mean to say that if she knew, she’d make your life difficult, right? Compared to your sudden death in the streets, your discomfort would be a lesser nuisance."

An Ge instantly grasped the underlying meaning in Huo Shaoyan’s words.

The young master of the Lu Family had been hurt; they might not do anything on the surface, but behind the scenes could be a different story.

Thinking of this, An Ge conceded that preserving her life took precedence.

She told the man, "I’ll follow your arrangements."

For once, her compliance caught Huo Shaoyan off guard, leading him to glance sidelong at her.

Her beautiful eyes, slightly bloodshot at the corners, were fixed unwaveringly on him, appearing both clear and captivating.

Huo Shaoyan quickly redirected his gaze from her face, his tone still icy, "You are in this predicament because you lack proper judgment. If your blood wasn’t beneficial to me, you would either be facing life in prison or end up dead somewhere desolate. Of course, perhaps there is a third option. That is if you surrender yourself to Lu Huai’an, becoming his plaything until he grows tired of you."

An Ge lowered her head, her fingers curling up tightly.
