Chen Hao was aware of Su Hong’s intention for holding this auction event.
She obviously wanted to involve as many forces as possible into this deadly battle, so they, the Yu Family, could be the final winner without effort.
Obviously, Shen Lan and Xiaobei thought that this was just a common auction event.
They did not expect that the more mysterious they were, the easier they became targeted.
Why did both of you come to meddle in this matter?
The person outside the window was none other than Chen Hao.
At this moment, Chen Hao could not help but think these thoughts worriedly while looking at the two corpses next to his feet.
Shen Lan was clearly keeping a low profile in this trip as she did not bring many people with her.
Feeling worried for them, Chen Hao decided to protect them secretly.
He did not know which forces sent these two corpses to investigate them. But since he met them, he got rid of them directly.
The mysterious man in black had assigned four bodyguards, East, South, West and North, to Chen Hao, and he could use them to protect Shen Lan. However, he did not trust them fully.
Therefore, he stayed seated outside the window and listened to the conversation between Shen Lan and Xiaobei.
I know I’ve made everyone worried ever since I vanished. It has been half a year now, but I have no choice. I can’t go back now.
Besides, Shen Lan is the person I owe the most in my life. Even after such a long time, she still poses herself as my fiancée. However, me and her will never be together! Chen Hao emphasized this in his heart.
Slowly, midnight fell.
Xiaobei had gone back to rest, while Shen Lan had cried herself to sleep.
Chen Hao walked into the room slowly.
With the dim light of the moon, Chen Hao could see the tears on Shen Lan’s cheeks.
He raised his hand and wiped it off gently, and pulled the blanket over her.
“Chen Hao, I knew that I wanted to be your wife ever since I was young. So don’t hide anymore and come home. Please come home,” Shen Lan murmured in her sleep.
“Home? I don’t even know when I can go home.” Chen Hao sat on the edge of the bed and smiled bitterly as he spoke.
Shen Lan, I understand the feelings you have for me. I swear I will never let anyone harm you as long as I live! Chen Hao silently promised.
He then gently touched the forehead of Shen Lan, who looked worn out.
Suddenly, the door opened and a girl walked in unexpectedly.
“Ah—”
The girl was frightened when she saw a man sitting on the edge of Shen Lan’s bed.
Before she could scream, the figure had moved and appeared in front of her in a flash, covering her mouth.
“Xiaobei, don’t be scared. It’s me!” Chen Hao whispered into Xiaobei’s ear.
Upon hearing his voice, Xiaobei widened her eyes in shock.
“Don’t make a sound. Let’s talk outside!”
Chen Hao grabbed Xiaobei’s arm and pulled her into her room.
“Chen Hao!” Xiaobei wailed and shouted. Astonishment, excitement and overjoy were not even close to what she was feeling right now.
She threw herself into Chen Hao’s arms.
“Chen Hao! Is it really you? Am I dreaming?” Xiaobei cried as she spoke.
“Mo Jian is nothing in my eyes. What’s important is that you promise me, Xiaobei. You mustn’t tell anyone that you saw me. Also, there are many dangers in this auction event. Both of you have to be extra cautious. If you suspect anything, you must tell me immediately. I will protect and assist you in secret!” Chen Hao held Xiaobei’s shoulder and warned her.
Xiaobei nodded firmly. “I understand. I will not tell anyone about this. Anyway, I am beyond happy that you are well!”
“Silly girl. Oh right, I am the chairperson of Tian Long Group now. Xiaobei, you have to help me to get the King Ginseng in this auction. Anyway, this thing is useless even if you bring it back to the Chen Family!” Chen Hao said.
“No problem! Chen Hao, I can keep your matters as a secret, but can I at least tell Shen Lan? I’m with Shen Lan every day and I can’t bear to see her sad when she thinks of you every day!”
“When the time comes, I’ll show myself and meet with her. You must not tell her about me!” Chen Hao reminded her once again.
“Alright, I know…”
“Shh!” Suddenly, Chen Hao made a gesture of silence at Xiaobei.
“Someone’s coming. Don’t make a sound!” Chen Hao frowned and told her softly.
At once, Xiaobei was frightened to silence.
Chen Hao’s figure flitted and left the room under the astonished gaze of Xiaobei.
At this moment, there was a masked figure in black outside the villa, approaching the room sneakily.
Chen Hao looked at the branch under his leg and stepped on it on purpose.
Crack!
“Mm?”
The figure in black was alerted at once and fled at an extremely swift pace.
“That person is quite skilled! It seems like those that came this time are all experts!”
Chen Hao took out a mask and chased after that figure…
