Chapter 1236 I Blocked the Knife for Him

Soon, the hot lunch was brought in by Nuan Che.

He easily arranged the bed, table, and food, and then quickly adjusted the angle of the bed. Everything was arranged in the most appropriate and careful way, especially considerate.

An Xiaowan felt warm in her heart and thanked him with a smile.

Huo Shen glanced at her, and his handsome face suddenly darkened again.

He held her in an uncomfortable position to sleep all night for her comfort. Why didn't she thank him properly?

After dinner, Huo Shen looked at Nuan Che who was sitting beside him and ready to go at any time. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous cold light was gathered.

"Nuan Che?"

"Yes, the name my master gave me, it sounds good, right?!" Nuan Che looked happy.

Huo Shen's expression was completely different from his.

The air was slightly cold.

"What is your relationship with the Third Master?"

Nuan Che was startled, frowned slightly and said: "The Third Master donates money to the orphanage every year. On the surface, it is charity, but in fact, it is equivalent to buying and selling children. Every year, he goes there to select the boys and girls he likes and brings them to the team for training. Some of them eventually become his killers, some become his servants, and some are beautifully wrapped gifts from his men."

An Xiaowan, who was lying on the bed, was stunned when she heard this.

Huo Shen also frowned slightly, "What does he use to control them."

"Drugs, or some special drugs." At this point, Nuan Che's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes, "Of course, there are also some who have been with him since childhood and have gained his trust, so they don't use these things. I am one of them."

His hands were clenched at his side.

He once naively thought that everyone was free. But later, he witnessed with his own eyes that a friend who escaped was poisoned and died and the body was brought back for disposal.

"It's terrible." An Xiaowan frowned fiercely.

"Why can you not be drugged." Huo Shen still had doubts and continued to ask.

"He thinks I'm stupid, and I... blocked the knife for him." Nuan Che said, rolling up his clothes and exposing the wound on his waist.

The atmosphere was a little solemn.

Huo Shen looked at the scar, and his trust in his heart increased a little.

He knew that An Xiaowan had decided to bring Nuan Che back to China. Although he was not happy about this, he still couldn't deprive her of this right, so all he could do was to confirm that this person was not suspicious.

And promise that he would not hurt her.

"Are you sure that you will have nothing to do with the Third Master from now on?"

Nuan Che raised his hand high, made a swearing gesture, and said seriously: "I swear that I will have nothing to do with the Third Master. Unless... he stands on the opposite side of you, then I will become his enemy."

"Do you promise not to do anything to hurt An Xiaowan?"

"I swear that not only will I not hurt the master, but I will also do my best to help and protect her in my life."

Huo Shen's heart flashed with displeasure.

This man actually kept saying that he would help and protect her in front of him and An Xiaowan.

Huo Shen was enough to protect An Xiaowan, so why would he need a young boy like him?

But he was less alert.

"Have you finished the interrogation?" An Xiaowan laughed, but a little warmth flowed through her heart, "Are you relieved now?"

She knew that his questions were all because he was afraid that she would be unsafe and hurt.

Huo Shen glanced at her indifferently and did not answer.
