Chapter 577 - Meeting (2/2)

“Your Highness, you have a maximum of ten minutes. The Queen ordered that no one is to probe the criminal. If I am found out, I might lose my life.”

Mu Sihan nodded. “You’re dismissed.”

The keeper opened the iron door.

Nan Zhi was curled up in the corner since she was captured and brought here from the airport by the guards.

On the way over, she heard the captain of the guards mention that it was a direct order from the Queen, saying that she was related to the SSS group.

Speaking of SSS group, she was also a victim herself, but she thought of Brother Gu Sheng…

Someone must have found out about her relations.h.i.+p with Gu Sheng.

Nan Zhi leaned against the wall and tried to keep calm.

From what she knew about Mu Sihan, he would definitely investigate the matter after knowing that she was arrested.

There was a clang and the iron door was opened.

Nan Zhi looked up and saw a tall figure coming in. She thought it was a guard but when she looked again, she froze.

Mu Sihan took off the hat, revealing a handsome and well-defined face.

He hurried forward to the woman huddling by the corner. Stretching out his long arm, he pulled her into his arms.

Nan Zhi’s chin rested on his broad shoulders and she felt choked up when she smelled the special fresh scent on him.

She closed her eyes and her face moved towards his neck, feeling the heat of his body.

After a moment of silence, Mu Sihan released Nan Zhi, his hands holding her beautiful face, his fingers rubbing on her fair and tender skin. “Did they do anything to you?”

Nan Zhi shook her head. “No.”

He pulled her into his arms again, letting his chin rest on the top of her head. “It happened so suddenly but you have to believe me, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Nan Zhi had no one to depend on here and it was the Queen who gave the order to arrest her. She could only depend on and trust him.

She leaned against his shoulder, looking at his well-defined handsome face and nodded.

Mu Sihan’s large palm caressed her slender back and his voice was deep and husky. “Gu Sheng is SSS group’s high ranking member. Someone reported to the Queen about you having an intimate relations.h.i.+p with him.”

Nan Zhi’s breath tightened slightly.

It seemed like she had guessed right. Her being caught was related to Brother Gu Sheng.

However…

“Mu Sihan, do you believe me?”

Mu Sihan’s dark eyes looked at her. “If I didn’t, would I still be here?”

Nan Zhi nodded and said calmly, “Brother Gu Sheng broke away from SSS group in order to save me. He had the devil poison in his body and he… he is no longer alive.”

Mu Sihan’s gaze was gathered on her and his thin lips were pursed, waiting for her to continue.

“Before he died, in order to not make me sad, he lay down on a bamboo raft and drifted along the river while I was asleep.” At the thought of Gu Sheng’s departure, Nan Zhi felt like crying. “He had the appearance of a seventy or eighty year old.”

Mu Sihan was shocked. He did not expect Gu Sheng would have done something like that for Nan Zhi. Although it was true that he had done her wrong first, since he kidnapped Nan Zhi and caused her to be poisoned in the first place.

But he was able to correct his own mistake and use his life to save Nan Zhi’s, this love was worthy of admiration.

“Do you have a photo of Gu Sheng looking old?”

Nan Zhi lowered her thick and long eyelashes and bit her lip. “Brother Gu Sheng had already become like that, how could I take a photo with him?”

“Did anyone else see him when he left?” Mu Sihan saw the tears in her eyes and he frowned. “Think carefully.”

Nan Zhi held her head in both hands and thought carefully, her fan-like eyelashes fluttering . Suddenly, she looked up and her eyes lit up. “I remember…”
