1307 I Only Want You 5 (1/2)
”We wanted to find you as soon as possible because we were afraid that you would stir trouble again,” An Xiaoning said while hugging his arm, for fear that he would run away again.
”Why is he here too?”
”All because of you, duh.”
Henry remained silent and continued walking toward Xiao Chenyang.
——
Fan Shixin finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Henry had been found.
He rubbed his temples to soothe his headache. He had been feeling tense ever since Henry escaped.
After resting for a while, he called Xiao Huang over.
”Yes, Chief?”
”Bring He Yi to the guardroom. I'll be on my way.”
”Alright.”
Fan Shixin took a shower and got changed before leaving.
He Yi finally saw the light of day after being kept in the basement for so long.
He looked extremely haggard and disheveled, a far cry from his appearance when he was first nabbed.
Fan Shixin looked at him indifferently and said, ”It's not that easy to lure my Young Madam into a trap. I can't believe you used to be Young Sir's classmate. Young Madam said she'll let you off this time. However, you're not to do it again. We won't be letting you off next time. You may leave now.”
The bodyguards holding He Yi down immediately let go.
He Yi stood up straight without uttering another word, knowing that he was not in an advantageous position.
Xiao Huang asked, ”Chief, how can we let him off? Didn't his accomplices all face a death sentence? He should at least be put behind bars for a few years.”
”I'm just following Young Madam's orders. However, he wouldn't be sentenced to death, unlike those people. He wasn't involved in hatching the plan and was merely threatened into executing the plan. He just needs to be taught a lesson. The other seven, however, were spies from the Donggong family, and they've committed a serious crime in our nation. If He Yi was also sent by them, I believe Young Madam wouldn't have let him off.”
”Chief, your hair is still damp. Did you take a shower?”
”Yeah, what's wrong?”
Stroking his chin, Xiao Huang said teasingly, ”You took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Chief, are you going out on a date?”
”Why? Are you annoyed that I am? I can empathize with you. You're just green with envy because you've been single for ages,” Fan Shixin said with a chuckle.
Xiao Huang lamented, ”Chief, can you not rub salt into my wound?”
”Okay, I'm leaving now,” Fan Shixin said after taking a look at the time.
He had been turning Wu Pingyang down and canceling dates with her throughout the period that Henry had been missing. He had given her the excuse of being too busy to go out.
Hence, he decided to make it up to her now that he suddenly had time.
He planned to go look her up now.
He decided not to call her because he wanted to buy her a gift.
Wu Pingyang was at the First People's Hospital in A City.
Fan Shixin bought her a box of red roses, thinking that most women loved flowers.
He headed to the second floor and walked toward the dental department.
Wu Pingyang was in the midst of putting on braces for a teenager and did not see him.
