“Let’s go.”

Song Mingfei pulled Song Qian along and prepared to leave. Xia Sheng did not stop them and let them leave.

Song Qian stumbled after Song Mingfei. When they turned the corner, she asked, “Second Brother, she bullied us like that. Are we going to let her go just like that?”

“She’s not someone to be trifled with.” Song Mingfei sighed. This time, when he thought back to Xia Sheng’s robust figure, he felt that the other party was extremely familiar. Song Mingfei couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he thought of his Goddess R’s robust figure on the competition stage, he couldn’t hide the shock in his heart. If his guess was right, Xia Sheng had an extraordinary relationship with the Goddess R. This thought disappeared in a flash, but it was deeply rooted in Song Mingfei’s heart.

Song Qian pulled a long face and complained indignantly, “What’s so amazing about her? I don’t believe Big Brother would side with her!”

Song Mingfei didn’t want to explain further and chided her softly, “Stop fooling around, let’s go.” When the two of them came, they were high profile. When they left, they were like defeated roosters. They ran away in a hurry, not even bothering with those rich second-generation heirs who followed them.

On the way back to Yun Cheng, a low-profile luxurious business car drove in the dark. The car jolted, and Huo Ye, who was sitting in the car, couldn’t help but frown. “How did you drive?”

The assistant had no choice but to slow down and apologize in a low voice. “Sorry, I couldn’t see the road clearly at night.”

“Tsk, good-for-nothing!” Huo Ye’s legs were not feeling well, and his temper was getting worse.

Xia Sheng noticed that the person beside her was shifting his body slightly and seemed to be adjusting his sitting position, and she understood. This person had accompanied her for such a long distance, and even when he wasn’t feeling well, he had to endure it. Now, it was just a bump in the car, and the discomfort he had suppressed came knocking on his door.

Sensing that the person beside her was moving his body more and more frequently, a thought flashed through her mind. She aimed a kiss at those thin lips and used it to comfort him. This method was indeed effective, Huo Ye’s temper eased a lot and he looked much quieter.

Xia Sheng panted as she leaned against Huo Ye’s chest. She persuaded him gently, “Bear with it for a while, it’ll be fine when we get home.”

The assistant who was driving was forced to witness the sweetness, but he could not help but like Xia Sheng’s actions.

Huo Ye glanced at the assistant in the driver’s seat and warned coldly, “Drive properly.” The assistant shrunk his head and stopped gossiping.

Back at home, Xia Sheng helped Huo Ye back to the bedroom. “Go wash up first. I’ll get something and massage your legs later.”

As he watched Xia Sheng leave, Huo Ye changed into a loose set of home clothes with much difficulty. However, the discomfort in his legs intensified after this short while.

Fortunately, the tools were in her study room. Xia Sheng took the medicine box and returned to the bedroom. She opened the first-aid kit in front of Huo Ye and took out the silver needles, placing them by her side as backup.

Under the light, the silver needles emitted a cold light, and Huo Ye’s eyes flashed with a strange light. “You know acupuncture?”

“I learned a little.” Xia Sheng was busy disinfecting the silver needles and did not pay much attention to Huo Ye’s expression. After everything was done, she looked at Huo Ye with a serious expression. “I’m going to roll up your pants. If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop anytime.”

Huo Ye hid the complicated look in his eyes and replied softly, “You may begin.”

Xia Sheng did not try to be ambiguous. She inserted the needles in an orderly manner and massaged Huo Ye’s legs with the aid of the massage technique. From time to time, she would ask Huo Ye about the feeling of his legs. Little did she know that this skill had already exposed her completely.

Seeing that Xia Sheng was so busy that her forehead was covered in sweat, Huo Ye smiled meaningfully and did not interrupt her. He relaxed and leaned against the head of the bed, enjoying himself.

Xia Sheng was so busy that her hands were sore, she then put away her tools. “How did you hurt your leg?” Even though she was mentally prepared, when she really touched it, she was still a little shocked. His legs were originally fine, but due to his injuries, his muscles had atrophied, and there were hideous scars on his skin. One could imagine how serious the accident was. However, there was another detail. Huo Ye’s leg had left behind such a huge hidden injury, and it had a lot to do with the fact that he did not receive good treatment back then.

Perhaps she felt that asking this question would hurt Huo Ye, so she quickly covered up, “I’m just curious. If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to answer.”

“There’s nothing I can’t say.” Huo Ye looked at his legs self-mockingly and said sarcastically, “The car lost control and crashed into the other party.”

“What about the perpetrator?” Xia Sheng asked, eager to know more details.

“He died on the spot.” Huo Ye laughed coldly. If not for that, he wouldn’t have been unable to investigate more details after the car accident. It was obvious that someone had a guilty conscience and used methods to get rid of the clues.

Xia Sheng blinked and had a plan in her heart. “I’ll help you investigate the truth of the car accident.”

Huo Ye looked up, exuding a dispirited aura. “Don’t you find me a burden?”

“Why would I?” Xia Sheng shook her head and smiled calmly. “Since I’ve chosen you, I’ll definitely take responsibility until the end. Or do you not want to take responsibility after taking advantage of me?”

Huo Ye couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this, and his mood improved greatly. After packing up, the two of them were a little tired, so they returned to their rooms to rest.

However, Xia Sheng went to the study and called Mingzhu.

Mingzhu, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the phone. She looked aggrieved. “Sister, it’s already midnight. Why are you calling me?”

“Help me investigate something,” Xia Sheng said coldly. She did not care about the time now, she just wanted to find out about the car accident as soon as possible.

Mingzhu looked plaintive as she scratched her head irritably. “It’s too late, I beg you to wait until tomorrow morning to investigate.”

“I will cancel all your annual leave this year.” Xia Sheng took out her trump card and threatened her with a clear conscience. “You either investigate now or go back to the company to work. You can choose between the two options.” No matter which path it was, it was all related to work, Mingzhu was clearly arranged.

In the end, Xia Sheng did not forget to add on. “Work hard, I hope you can let me get the information now.”

In the middle of the night, Mingzhu had no choice but to get up and work overtime for the sake of her annual leave. Luckily, Huo Ye’s accident was no secret, Mingzhu quickly found the file and sent it to Xia Sheng’s phone.

Xia Sheng found out by accident that the time of Huo Ye’s accident was very close to the time when she became an orphan, the two of them were almost one after another.

Even if it was a coincidence, wasn’t it too much of a coincidence? Looking at the few photos of the accident scene, Xia Sheng tapped the table with her index finger and smiled meaningfully. She did not believe in the so-called coincidence, these two incidents were definitely linked. It seemed that the incident back then was indeed strange..
