Huo Jin Ze very obediently placed his palms on his thighs, letting her bandage his wounds, "Where did you live yesterday?"

His words caused An Xia to pause, nervously lowering his head, not even daring to look at him.

How would she answer?

She was very nervous, and couldn't think of an answer.

"I'm asking you a question!" His tone gradually turned more and more serious.

He was angry.

An Xia was frightened to the point that her shoulders suddenly shrank. The cotton swab in her hand fell to the ground. "I …" I live in the house of a man who saved me. "

"Male?"

The pressure above her head made her hesitate. She nodded slowly and hesitantly.

Just as she nodded her head, the man suddenly retracted his hand. The injured hand slammed onto the table.

Fresh blood continued to gush out from his injured hand as if he was unable to stop. However, the man seemed to be unable to feel any pain as he stared at her without batting an eyelid.

That light sound clearly showed his anger. An Xia's heart contracted as his body trembled.

She was like a frightened deer, looking at him with timid eyes. When her eyes met his, she was so scared that she immediately dodged, her nervous hands slightly trembling.

At this moment, Huo Jinze only had one thought in his mind, she was afraid!

Was she afraid of him?

His rising anger faded at that moment, and her fear filled his deep eyes.

Those people must have scared her, just like he did.

He took a deep breath and gradually eased the expression on his face. Once again, he placed his palm before her eyes. "Continue."

He didn't care who she was, he only knew that she was scared now.

As for him, he couldn't see it.

The wound on his palm was not shallow, and after he ripped it open, the fresh blood that An Xia had just wiped away once again seeped out.

It was the first time she had seen such a gash. She almost wiped the blood from the wound with her trembling hands.

It was so bloody that even the tender flesh hidden in the skin could be seen.

It must hurt.

She carefully bandaged his wound, and he watched her silently, as if she were a robot that didn't know pain.

She wiped off the blood on her wound and carefully applied the medicine. Her lips pouted slightly as she blew on his wound. "Does it hurt?"

she asked softly.

The man looked at her bright eyes and shook his head slightly. He replied, "It doesn't hurt."

She wouldn't believe it.

She didn't know how many more of these things would happen in the future. Why did everyone who was with her get hurt?

Was she really what her elder sister had said she was?

The Bane of the Dead Mother.

The people who were with her would not have a good ending. They would either be injured or die?

Thinking about how his mother died because of him, and how his father was lying in bed because of him, and the man in front of him …

A sorrowful feeling spread from the bottom of her heart as tears welled up in her eyes.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and a warm palm fell on her face to wipe them away. "Are you crying for me?"

Huo Jinze thought so, looking at her watery eyes, he slightly frowned, "Don't cry."

His heart was broken.

He was completely defeated by this little girl in front of him.

If he could, he thought, he would lose the world just to see her laugh.

He liked that little girl who loved to laugh when she was little, even though her life was not so good.

Perhaps An Xia didn't notice, but standing at the side, Yang Wei saw a strange expression in Huo Jin Ze's eyes, a kind of emotion he had never seen before.

Perhaps, from the moment he met her, he was no longer himself …

It was good that he didn't say anything. Once he said it, An Xia's tears couldn't be stopped. She didn't know why she was always so weak in front of this man.

She cried so hard that she could barely see what was in front of her. She covered his hands with gauze as she sobbed.

"I promise, it won't happen again." He made a gesture with his hand.

Only Yang Wei knew that the CEO was giving her a promise to protect her.

What he said was always true to what he said.

Ansha bandaged his wounds, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said nothing.

She didn't want to be like this anymore. She just wanted to go back to the time when she didn't know him and her father didn't go to the hospital.

She doesn't believe it?

Looking at her, he felt as if something had pricked his heart. His big hand gently gripped her chin as he stared into her bright eyes.

"No one has ever dared to question what I've said."

An Xia's eyes slightly blinked as she uneasily looked at him.

"Yang Wei, prepare the car!" He suddenly ordered. Yang Wei responded and ran out the door to get ready.

An Xia didn't even have time to react before she was pulled up from the ground by a large hand. She looked at him in surprise and followed behind him, "You …" "Where are you going?"

Huo Jin Ze's unquestionable voice came from in front of him, "Go to a place where you won't be afraid anymore."

A place no longer to be afraid of?

An Xia couldn't think of anything.

The luxurious sports car sped through the air and finally stopped at the entrance of a casino.

An Xia recognized it at a glance. It was the place she had borrowed money from.

The car stopped. Yang Wei got out of the car and opened the door. An Xia followed Huo Jin Ze out of the car.

From start to finish, he held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would lose it.

When the two of them arrived at the casino's entrance, An Xia immediately recognized the guard at the door. He was one of the two people who went to her house to collect the debt that day.

Seeing his face, An Xia subconsciously withdrew his body. "Let's go back?"

She couldn't help but to worry. She had been here before, even if there were hundreds or dozens of thugs, but Huo Jin Ze only brought Yang Wei.

How could the weak strength of the two of them contend against them?

Huo Jinze noticed her strangeness, so he gripped her fingers and gave her a calm look, "Don't be afraid."

The man held out his hand to stop them just as they reached the door.

"Show me your card." The moment the man said that, he could feel a killing intent coming from the man. For some reason, he was intimidated by the aura coming from the man.

A trace of withdrawal was born in his heart. Just from the aura of this man, one could tell that he must have an extraordinary status.

He wasn't someone he could provoke.

When his gaze landed on the woman beside him, the fear in his heart disappeared. He knew that this woman did not have much strength.

"It's you!" What? Did you call your man over to vent your anger? Little, girl … "Pa …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Wei ruthlessly slapped his face.

That huge force carried his entire body to the side, causing him to sway slightly and almost fall down.

"You actually dared to hit me!" The man was instantly angered, he held his face while waving his fist in the direction of Huo Jin Ze.

His ferocious expression made An Xia think of the scene from that day. His heart couldn't help but beat faster, and his whole body tensed up. When the punch struck her, she subconsciously withdrew into Huo Jin Ze's embrace.

But Huo Jinze was as steady as Mt. Tai, and his face didn't change as he looked at the incoming fist.

The moment his fist was about to come into contact with Li Yao, Yang Wei grabbed Li Yao's wrist and twisted with force.

"Creak."

It was the sound of bones breaking.

Along with the sounds came the painful howls of a man.

The woman's heart rippled, but her face was frowning in displeasure.

He could not imagine what these people had done to her after they had done such a thing to her.

How could he forgive them today?

"Tell your boss to come out and see me."

The man covered his hands and wailed in pain. He looked at Ye Zichen in fear, then ran into the casino with trembling lips.

It was unknown what he said to his boss, but in less than ten minutes, he saw a thin man with a serious expression walking out with a group of people behind him.

"Boss!" It was this bastard who came to cause trouble! " The man looked at Huo Jin Ze with contempt, pointing at him.

With his boss backing him up here, how could he still be afraid of him?

In less than two seconds, his face started to burn with a burning pain. "Boss."

"Young Master Huo is someone that you can casually point at?"

The man who was called 'Eldest Brother' slapped him angrily, then respectfully walked in front of Huo Jin Ze and invited him inside with a smile, "Young Master Huo, this way please."

An Xia slowly raised her head from his embrace after the situation had quieted down.

Huo Jinze was led by his boss to the meeting hall behind the casino, and without a second thought, he gave Huo Jinze his seat of honor.

Only now did An Xia realize that he had underestimated the power and influence of this man.

Huo Jin Ze's gaze swept across the chair, touching An Xia's shoulder as he led her to the side of the chair, "Sit down first."

This action caused the boss of the casino to be completely stunned. He couldn't help but look at An Xia in astonishment.

This woman can actually make Young Master Huo give up his seat?!

Although An Xia had been here before, this was the first time he sat like this in front of a group of black-clothed people. He couldn't help but feel anxious and nervous inside.

Her trembling hands made Huo Jin Ze shake his head and sigh slightly. He pulled her up from the seat and sat down by himself. Then he carried her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

An Xia, who was sitting on his lap, couldn't help but become more nervous and shy. She struggled to get off his leg, but he held her waist, preventing her from moving.

"Young Master Huo, did you need me to help you with something for you?"

The casino boss timidly took out a box of cigarettes and handed it over to him.

He did not reject the cigarette. Instead, he put it on his lips and lit it up with a flattering smile on his face.

An Xia was sitting beside him, moving uncomfortably.

He seemed to have thought of something, and pinched the cigarette in his mouth as he glanced at the man.

The casino's boss quickly stepped forward and asked, "What orders does Young Master Huo have?"
