When Qin Heng woke up, he found that he was not dead, nor had he fallen into the hands of those people. In a completely unfamiliar environment, this place was pitifully small. There was nothing but a bed.

He turned his head and saw some water and food on the ground, and some medicine scattered beside them. It was obvious that this was left behind by someone else. Who was the one who saved him?

When Hu Jian came in with the packed food, she saw that he had already woken up, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Hu Jian knew a thing or two about Qin Heng. Because he was young and promising, the gang leader wanted to work with him. However, he was in a trance now. He didn’t look as high-spirited as the last time she saw him, and she couldn’t find the confidence he had before.

“You’re awake?” Hu Jian handed the things in her hand to Qin Heng and sat cross-legged on the ground under his stunned expression.

Qin Heng took the boxes and looked at Hu Jian. He remembered that she was the waitress of the bistro. Before he fainted, she had brought him to the room upstairs.

“Eat your food first. Because someone is looking for you, you can’t go to the hospital. You can only rely on these medicines to survive. If you have anything to say, say it after you’ve eaten your food and taken medicine. Before that, I’m very pleased to meet you, Qin Heng.”

This time, Qin Heng was completely shocked. If before he was just shocked that this girl had saved him, then he is on guard now. No matter how he looked at it, she was just a young child in her teens. How could she say such sophisticated words, moreover, he didn’t know her. How could she know his name?

“Don’t look at me like that. Saving you was indeed an accident. I’m not someone who was sent here. Is it very surprising to know your name? Qin Heng, who’s already famous before the age of 30, don’t tell me you don’t know that you’ve been on TV before?” Hu Jian looked at him with amusement.

Qin Heng also relaxed a little when he heard this. He looked at the lunchbox in his hand and started to eat. He had been hungry for a long time and had not eaten anything since yesterday.

“Thank you.” After he said that, he started to eat without caring about his image. Hu Jian, who was opposite him, did not care at all. She casually took out the arcane mathematics data in her bag and began to read it.

Only after he finished eating did he realize that he had been very unrefined just now. He looked at Hu Jian embarrassedly.

“It’s okay.” Hu Jian closed the data and said lightly.

Although Qin Heng had a glib tongue when it came to business, he was now facing a child who was still studying. This made Qin Heng, who was always eloquent, not know how to speak.

After a moment of silence, he still decided to break the awkwardness. “Well, thank you for saving me, but I can’t give you any trouble, so I can’t stay here.”

“They won’t be able to find this place. No one knows except me,” Hu Jian said nonchalantly.

When she brought him here, no one had seen them, let alone found out about it. She was very confident about this.

“You’re still young. You don’t understand. It’s not as simple as you think.” Qin Heng treated her words as a child’s joke and didn’t care at all. When he said this, he felt a little helpless.

Hu Jian saw that he was too lazy to say anything. She wasn’t a person who liked to waste her energy.

“Can I ask you about something?” Hu Jian asked faintly.

“What is it?” This made Qin Heng somewhat curious. He still wanted to know what she wanted to ask.

“How is Scarlet Flame now?”

Finally, she asked this question. Ever since she was reborn, she had always wanted to know if the gang leader was still alive?

This question made Qin Heng very curious about her. Of course, he knew about this gang, but he did not understand why this little girl in front of him knew about this.

“Queen”, a cold and beautiful woman. Other than her hot figure and eye-catching eyebrows, her strength was not to be underestimated. The killer “Queen”, who was feared by people on the street, he had once crossed paths with this woman. She was the one who persuaded him to cooperate with Scarlet Flame, but he refused. Not long ago, Scarlet Flame was ambushed. Not only was the gang leader injured, but that arrogant woman died in the ruins in order to protect the gang leader.

Qin Heng recalled the woman called Queen and told her everything he knew about the Scarlet Flame gang leader. Although he was very curious why this fair and clean little girl in front of him would be interested in such underworld matters, on account of her saving him, he told her everything he knew.

“Are you saying that the Scarlet Flame gang leader is injured? Is it serious?”
