“Okay, thanks.” Hu Jian had a general understanding after listening to Li Yang’s description.

It seemed that this person had not been recorded in the diary of Little Hu Jian. In this way, she did not look like a scheming person like Wang Xin and Yang Si.

Therefore, Hu Jian did not think too much about it. Yesterday, Sister Yu did not send Hu Jian home, and so she hurriedly asked for a long time and thought that something had happened to her. Therefore, after school today, Hu Jian went to the bistro early.

“Little Jian, did anything happen yesterday?” Sister Yu was very worried about Hu Jian.

“No, my dad came to pick me up. I’ve made you worry,” Hu Jian said embarrassedly.

“Not at all. As long as you are fine, go do your work!” Sister Yu saw that Hu Jian was fine, so she turned around and went to do her own work.

Hu Jian was taking a cup at the bar counter. When she looked up, she saw a man enter the door.

When she saw the man’s face, Hu Jian couldn’t help but widen her eyes. The man in front of her was the partner that the gang leader wanted to work with previously — Qin Heng.

Whenever Hu Jian approached Qin Heng, she could completely feel that there was a hint of blood in the air. This smell was very sensitive to her.

She sized up Qin Heng secretly. He was injured.

It was not difficult to see he was hiding.

“Sir, you don’t look too well. Do you need to rest?” Hu Jian asked.

Only then did Qin Heng look up at the young girl in front of him. “Please find me an empty room to rest.”

As he spoke, he did not forget to look at the door. Clearly, Hu Jian was right. He was being hunted.

She quickly found a room and brought him in. To be on the safe side, she hung a repair sign at the door of the room.

As soon as she came out of the room, a few burly men came to the door.

Sister Yu hurried to welcome them.

“What can I get for you gentlemen?”

The men didn’t answer her. Instead, they began to inspect the customers in the shop. This series of events made Hu Jian even more certain that these people were here to look for Qin Heng.

“Did a man in a black suit come in just now?” The man asked out of the blue.

Sister Yu naturally didn’t notice Qin Heng just now, so she answered that she didn’t see him.

“Little Jian, did you receive a man in a black suit just now?” Sister Yu turned to ask Hu Jian.

“No, Sister Yu, there aren’t many people in the shop. Did something happen?” Hu Jian stuck her head out from the stairs when she heard Sister Yu calling.

“What’s upstairs?” The man asked.

“Sir, upstairs is our guest room. It provides guests with a short break,” Sister Yu answered.

“If there’s no one, why is she upstairs?” The man obviously didn’t believe Hu Jian’s words. He clearly saw Qin Heng running this way.

“We have a room upstairs that’s under maintenance. She’s a university student here, so she only works here at night. So I’ll ask her to check if the room is functional,” Sister Yu answered so smoothly that the man couldn’t find any faults with her.

However, the man did not believe her. He prepared to go upstairs to take a look, but the others were left on the first floor.

Hu Jian knew that she could not play hardball with them at this time, so she brought him upstairs.

“Take a look.” After saying that, Hu Jian followed behind the man. She was certain that the man would not enter the door.

The man stopped at the door of Qin Heng’s room. He looked at the paper that was about to fall off, then looked at Hu Jian’s face. He turned around and went downstairs.

He thought that she was just a university student, so she probably didn’t know Qin Heng. Usually, girls wouldn’t help someone they didn’t know. Moreover, Qin Heng was covered in blood. If she saw him, the girl in front of him would probably be scared out of her wits, instead of being so calm.

Hu Jian also guessed the man’s thoughts, so she was sure that the man wouldn’t open the door to find Qin Heng. She would just move him to another place later.

When it was almost midnight, Hu Jian blocked all the surveillance cameras as usual. Looking at the unconscious Qin Heng in the room, she brought him to a very shabby little house.

According to her memories, this was something that Little Hu Jian had accidentally discovered previously. She had read about this in her diary the last time, and now it would come in handy. There would not be many people here either.

After briefly bandaging Qin Heng, she headed home. This time, if it was even later, Lin Yan would have a lot to say. At the thought of this, Hu Jian couldn’t help but run.

As for Qin Heng, she would come and ask him tomorrow when he woke up.

Hu Jian thought that she didn’t have to go to the bistro tomorrow. She had more important things to do, so she planned to ask for leave tomorrow.

After returning home, Hu Jian returned to her room after a few words with Lin Yan as usual. Lin Yan didn’t mind too much. At least now, she still belonged to him. If he pressed too hard, she would be disgusted, so he decided to take it slow, give himself time and give her time.

Hu Jian naturally didn’t know what he was thinking. After showering, she went to bed. She was thinking about Qin Heng, so she fell asleep in no time.

The next morning, Hu Jian got up as soon as the alarm went off. After washing up, she was ready to go out when Lin Yan hugged her at the door.

“You have to study hard today too!” After saying that, he let go and urged her to hurry to school and pay attention to her safety.

Hu Jian’s small face instantly blushed a little. However, seeing that he did not show any overly extreme behavior, such as kissing or anything ambiguous, she just let him be.

After leaving the house, she patted her face and went to school.

Hu Jian fell asleep in just a few minutes after arriving at the classroom. She would go to see Qin Heng once she woke up. She really needed a good rest now.

When Li Yang arrived at the classroom, he saw Hu Jian who had already fallen asleep.

“Don’t you sleep at night? Why are you so tired?” Li Yang put down his school bag and went to sleep on the table.

The students of F Class saw this scene and their mouths twitched. Aren’t you two the same?

The two of them slept until noon. Hu Jian woke up first. After she woke up, she didn’t attend the later classes and left the classroom. Now, it was time to find Qin Heng and ask him some questions.

Li Yang woke up when he heard the noise. He looked at Hu Jian’s back as she left. He thought he was arrogant enough. It wasn’t until he got to know Hu Jian that he realized that he was nothing..
