Chapter 255: His gentleness makes people sink._1

The man standing at the door made eye contact with her, his dark eyes slightly sinking, as he wordlessly moved towards her.

"Had a nightmare?"

"Uh..."

Huo Sichen approached her, noticing her instinctive retreat, his gaze deepened.

She was afraid of him.

Why?

His gaze rested on her cell phone for a few seconds, then asked, "Who did you make a call to?"

Seeing he had asked first, Li Susu voiced her doubts directly: "I heard that Ye Shanlan and her two classmates... disappeared."

She followed up, "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

She hoped to see a confused expression on his face, but the man's demeanor was too calm, not even creasing his brows.

It was as if he already knew about it.

Li Susu was instantly upset.

"Huo Sichen, I don't want anything to happen to you for me..."

As if delayed by half a beat, he asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? Why would I be in trouble?"

She responded blankly, "You didn't do it?"

Could it be—

Mr. Xu?
