"You can't escape." There was a hint of annoyance and humiliation on the man's face as he tried to grab her.
Gu Sisi quickly dodged and ran in the other direction.
Thinking that Gu Sisi was trying to escape, the man rushed over and slammed the door shut.
"Do you think you can get away?" The man stepped towards Gu Sisi slowly.
She was cornered onto the bed until her back hit the headboard with no way back.
The ferocious smile on the man's face grew wider. He ran his hand across the knife. "You'll have to die."
Just as he was about to raise the knife, there was a "bang". The man hesitated and touched his head. His hand was covered in blood.
He looked behind him. His pupils dilated suddenly. He was just about to run.
But his head was held down by a pillow by someone he never expected.
Then, there was another heavy blow from someone. He fell into deep darkness, not knowing when he could break free. Maybe he never would.
"Well done." Huo Cheng hugged the shivering Gu Sisi in his arms. Seeing her body temperature getting colder, he picked her up.
Walking to the door, he looked at the boss who had rushed in after being notified with a look of disgust and said indifferently, "Just throw him out."
The boss quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead and stammered, "Okay."
Seeing the pool of blood on the bed, his face turned even paler. He turned around and fainted.
"I'm okay."
This was already the second time, or maybe the third. Huo Cheng suddenly felt a bit self - reproachful. He had let her be in danger again.
If he hadn't received Gu Sisi's distress text this time, he didn't dare to think about what would happen.
"It's my negligence." Huo Cheng shook his head.
Seeing Huo Cheng blaming himself, Gu Sisi felt bad too. Who could have predicted such a thing?
But she knew she couldn't persuade him who was blaming himself. She patted his back and whispered, "Didn't I notice something was wrong early on? There must be no danger."
When she met the delivery guy who still needed her to confirm the order at the hotel entrance, she knew something was off. Although she hadn't looked closely at the delivery guy's face these days, the delivery guy must have remembered her.
She had been ordering the same thing these days. There was no way he needed her to confirm.
"It's my negligence. Otherwise, you wouldn't have encountered this at all." Huo Cheng shook his head, looking stubborn and determined that it was his fault. He walked to the window and made a phone call.
When he walked back again, he said, "I'll stay with you all the time until the matter is fully investigated."
"No need. You can't always take me with you."
Gu Sisi thought Huo Cheng was overreacting.
The killers she had encountered these days seemed a bit strange. They wanted to kill her for no reason, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. Huo Cheng opened the door. A group of people came in, which made Gu Sisi jump.
"These days, they will protect you closely. In this way, I'll feel more at ease whether I'm by your side or not."
"Huo Cheng~" Gu Sisi thought this was too much. She had a hunch that this kind of thing wouldn't happen again.
"You guys stay outside the door!" Huo Cheng said expressionlessly to the group.
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison. Like a well - trained army, they left in an orderly manner.
Gu Sisi thought that Huo Cheng had already taken measures by moving them to the VIP room on the top floor because of this incident. That should be enough.
But she couldn't persuade Huo Cheng. These days, Gu Sisi was like a prisoner. Wherever she went, there was a group of people following her.
When she walked on the beach, a group of people in suits looked around warily.
When she went to the hotel to eat, a group of people stood behind her.
After receiving countless strange looks, she didn't want to go out at all. Occasionally, because she was bored, she would look at the big Buddha outside and then turn back.
She was really annoyed.
"How much longer do we have to stay here!" Gu Sisi finally wanted to return to a normal life.
"Soon." Huo Cheng kissed her forehead. "The investigation hasn't made any progress yet. These people hardly have any connections. But we won't wait any longer. When my business is done, we'll go back."
"Okay~" Gu Sisi was a bit reluctant, but she understood that Huo Cheng was trying his best.
"I have a cocktail party today. I originally wanted to take you there, but there will be a large and noisy crowd. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. So stay at home. I'll come back early today."
Gu Sisi folded her arms, turned her face to the side, and pouted. "Got it."
She naturally understood. That was why she was stuck here for no reason. Moreover, the floor was too high, and she couldn't see much scenery.
"I'll make it up to you later." Huo Cheng whispered ambiguously in her ear, teasing her.
Sure enough, Gu Sisi blushed immediately. She picked up a pillow and threw it at him, puffing with anger. "I don't want it."
Huo Cheng laughed and raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, we won't. We don't need it."
"......" Gu Sisi felt even angrier.
Looking at the empty big room, Gu Sisi lay on the sofa like a corpse and sighed.
These days, all she did was eat and sleep. She was almost like a pig. And Huo Cheng ordered a high - calorie dessert for her every day, saying it was good for her health.
Good my foot. Gu Sisi touched the extra flesh on her body. Her body was only getting fatter!
"No, I can't go on like this." As soon as she thought of it, she got up. Gu Sisi decided to secretly take a stroll on the beach as exercise.
However, seeing a group of people about to follow her, she turned around and squinted. She didn't want to be the center of attention anymore.
"You and you follow me. The rest of you stay at the door."
The people looked at each other. They seemed a bit embarrassed.
Gu Sisi raised her eyebrows. "If you follow me like this every day, aren't you just showing others where I am? And if you follow me so blatantly, it would be strange if the bad guys came."
Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding.
"So!" Gu Sisi cleared her throat. "Only two of you can follow me, and you have to be quiet. Otherwise, how can you catch the bad guys?"
Seeing their confused looks, Gu Sisi continued to persuade them patiently. "You were brought here for a purpose, which is to catch the bad guys! And two people, what's wrong with two? Are you doubting your own abilities? Then I'll also doubt your capabilities."
These people had all received strict training. Hearing their abilities being doubted, they didn't feel good.
"No."
"Good. Do as I said."
After some persuasion, Gu Sisi swaggered onto the beach. She felt extremely comfortable. There were few people there. Looking behind her, the two people's clothes were no longer so eye - catching, and they were a few meters away from her.
"It's so nice!" Gu Sisi lay on the deck chair and closed her eyes.
