Chapter 465: Sorry, The Number You Have Dialed Is Temporarily Unavailable…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Chaosheng had an arrogant personality and showed his likes and dislikes on his face.
He never concealed his hatred for Huo Zhuxiu.
As Huo Chaosheng’s friend, Lin Shanchu should not have taken the initiative to bring up this matter when he did not want to talk about it.
Now that she had taken the initiative to mention it, wasn’t she trying to stir up trouble?
Huo Chaosheng’s expression, which was not gentle to begin with, darkened immediately.
Lin Shanchu had achieved her goal.
“Although you’re an unreasonable person, you’re not someone who can’t distinguish between good and bad. Huo Zhuxiu has been treating you so well.
Logically speaking, you shouldn’t hate him even if you don’t return the favor.”
She spoke slowly while paying attention to the changes in Huo Chaosheng’s expression.
Huo Chaosheng looked coldly at Lin Shanchu.
“Are you trying to anger me?” Huo Chaosheng gently rubbed his forehead and murmured, “Lin Shanchu, can’t we finish this dinner properly?”
His voice was very soft, but the private room was extremely quiet. Therefore, Lin Shanchu managed to hear him clearly.
Besides, his tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that this dinner seemed to be some sort of ritual for Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng looked up like a normal person and said nicely, “Let’s talk after dinner, okay?”
Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
After that, she did not deliberately stir up trouble.
Huo Chaosheng returned to his usual self and chatted with her about her recent life like a normal friend.
As Huo Chaosheng spoke, he suddenly said in a strange tone, “It’s different now.”
His words were without rhyme or reason, making Lin Shanchu frown slightly.
“What’s different?”
“Drink some wine.”
Huo Chaosheng suddenly picked up the wine bottle.
Lin Shanchu refused his offer.
“I still have to drive home.’
“I’ll get you a chauffeur.”
Huo Chaosheng lifted his chin and gestured for her to bring the wine glass over.
Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before passing the wine glass over.
Since she was already here, it was not life-threatening anyway.
She might as well drink some wine.
Clink!
The two of them raised their glasses and clinked them together, making a clear sound.
After clinking glasses, the two of them looked at each other at the same time when they withdrew their hands.
Unsurprisingly, they saw wariness in each other’s eyes.
They were locked in stalemate for a long time.
Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng laughed.
In a sense, they did have a tacit understanding and sympathized with each other.
Huo Chaosheng looked at her with a faint smile.
“You’re right to guard against me because I drugged the cup. You can choose not to drink it.”
“Is it a deadly poison?”
“Of course not. You’re my only friend. I can’t bear to part with you.”
Huo Chaosheng looked calm as if he was discussing the taste of the red wine with her.
It was hard to tell whether his words were sincere or fake.
However, Lin Shanchu trusted her instincts.
She did not feel that Huo Chaosheng wanted to kill her.
She could even see a trace of sincerity in Huo Chaosheng’s eyes.
Besides, she could not control her hands.
She had no choice but to drink this wine.
Lin Shanchu curled her lip and smiled at Huo Chaosheng. Then, she raised her head and downed the wine in her glass.
Huo Chaosheng’s expression darkened as he stared coldly at her.
The feeling of dizziness came swiftly. Lin Shanchu felt a surge of heavy-headedness and began to fall weakly onto the table as her neck could not support her.
In the end, she collapsed weakly onto the table.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she saw Huo Chaosheng slowly get up and walk towards her.
He looked at her and sighed. “We are different.”
Lin Shanchu’s lips moved slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.
“In the first place, we’re…”
Different.
Before she could say the last word, she completely lost consciousness.
The window in the room was opened.
The wind blew.
It was probably a room facing the sun. The sunlight shone in, making one feel warm all over.
In a daze, Lin Shanchu could feel the temperature and sound of her surroundings.
The surroundings were very quiet. No one spoke, but there was only the sound of the wind.
She even vaguely heard birds chirping.
The weather was frosty after the New Year. Why would there be birds chirping?
Gradually, the chirping of the birds became clearer.
Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and was blinded by the sunlight shining in through the window.
She stretched out her hand to block the sunlight. After gradually adapting to the bright light, she slowly sat up from the bed.
The sunlight illuminated the spacious room. The mild decoration style gave her a warm and comfortable feeling.
Lin Shanchu briefly recalled what happened before she lost consciousness.
Huo Chaosheng had really spiked the wine.
He had used the wine to knock her out and brought her here.
Thinking of this, Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but look up at the furnishings in the room again.
No matter how she looked at it, it was not Huo Chaosheng’s style to have such cozy furnishings.
Lin Shanchu stood up and walked to the window. She was shocked when she saw what was outside.
There was an endless jungle all around.
There was no sign of human habitation.
What was that perverted Huo Chaosheng trying to do?
Lin Shanchu turned around, put on her shoes and ran to the door. She held the doorknob and gently twisted it, opening the door.
Surprisingly, he did not lock the door?
Lin Shanchu walked out of the room, ran to the end of the corridor and went down the spiral staircase.
There was no one in the empty foyer.
Lin Shanchu walked to the front door and tried to pull it open, but she realized that it would not budge.
It turned out that the door was locked. She tried calling Huo Chaosheng by his name.
“Huo Chaosheng!”
She called out several times, but only heard her own echo.
There was no one else in this house except her.
Where was Huo Chaosheng?
Why did he lock her here?
When Lin Shanchu recalled what Huo Chaosheng had done to Yun Wu, she vaguely understood him.
Huo Xunzhou wanted to imprison her.
For what?
To threaten Huo Xunzhou?
Huo Chaosheng’s personality was unpredictable. He had risked his life for her sake, but in the blink of an eye, he imprisoned her.
Would he do the same to Huo Xunzhou?
He used to like Huo Xunzhou so much, but what about now?
What did he want to do to Huo Xunzhou?
Number 1357 said that everyone’s ending was closely related to her.
He also said that it might not be a happy ending.
Yesterday, he only said that her life was not in danger, but he never said that Huo Xunzhou’s life would not be in danger.
Lin Shanchu’s face turned pale as she held onto the door and slowly slid to the ground.
Nothing bad could have happened to Huo Xunzhou.
“Big Brother, shall we set off for the dinner party now?”
Li MO pushed open the door and walked into Huo Xunzhou’s office when it was almost time to get off work.
Huo Xunzhou looked up at him and continued to read the documents in his hands.
“Go in my place.”
“Me again?”
Li MO looked troubled.
He really did not want to dine with those strangers. Everyone at the dinner party spoke in riddles and was very hard to deal with, so he could not understand a word they said.
However, Huo Xunzhou always liked to order him to attend dinner parties in his place.
“Yeah.” Huo Xunzhou said confidently, “I’m going to have dinner with Shanshan. ”
Li MO’s eyes lit up.
It turned out that Huo Xunzhou was going to have dinner with Lin Shanchu.
He gritted his teeth and sighed. “I’ll go.”
He would sacrifice himself for justice.
Huo Xunzhou closed the document and took out his phone to call Lin Shanchu.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
