She said that, and Gu Liancheng had no choice but to go back first.

If Li Sinian’s people found him here, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear his name.

Xiao Man grabbed Gu Liancheng’s hand: "Take good care of Qianxun, don’t let her come near me during this time, it’s dangerous..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gu Liancheng’s eyebrows tightened.

It seems that the situation is not as simple as he thought, what Xiao Man encountered seems not to be a common incident.

"I understand, you should rest well first."

Xiao Man rested there until she awoke again, which was two hours later. She changed back into her original clothes, made up herself to look good, sprayed perfume to eliminate the odor of disinfectant alcohol, and opened the window to air out for a while.

She stood in front of the window, sighing.

Living this way is indeed very tiring.

Li Sinian... Perhaps it would be simpler if he just killed her directly.

She opened the door, and Lake and his men were walking back and forth in the hallway, always alert to the surroundings.

Seeing the door open, Lake walked back: "Miss Xiao, you’re awake."

"Um..." Xiao Man yawned, "How come my friend hasn’t come yet? Did they stand me up?"

"Do you need me to check?"

"Never mind, I’ve changed my mind. They made me wait for so long. Let’s go to Liancheng Group."

"Okay."

Lake was not surprised.

Liancheng Group is Xiao Man’s employer, she often goes there for work, so there would be no problem.

Lake protected Xiao Man and notified the people outside to prepare to clear the way to Liancheng Group.

...

This was the first time she appeared at the Liancheng Group after the two XX incidents, and it caused a small commotion.

Most people guessed that she was looking for their CEO Gu Liancheng, although that was indeed the case.

Upon reaching Liancheng Group, everyone aside from Lake waited outside, and Lake, who was not there for the first time accompanying Xiao Man, was always seen as her personal bodyguard.

CEO office.

Su Bai had received the news that Xiao Man was coming, and upon her arrival, he informed her: "Miss Xiao, please wait inside, the CEO will be back right after the meeting."

"Okay."

Lake was kept outside.

Liancheng Group was not so dangerous, so he accepted that.

After a while, Gu Liancheng finished his meeting and returned to the office, locking the door.

Xiao Man was sitting on his office couch, having poured herself a drink, waiting for his return.

Gu Liancheng glanced at her and walked straight to his desk, settling down the documents.

"Miss Xiao Man, drinking right after being injured isn’t very good."

"Drinking helps with the pain," she laughed.

Had he not just witnessed certain things, Gu Liancheng might still think Xiao Man was just a normal person.

But...

"Xiao Man, who exactly are you?"

"I didn’t expect, I haven’t even disclosed everything to Li Sinian, that the first person I ended up telling would be you."

"If I’m not mistaken, you also know about my situation," Gu Liancheng said, "Otherwise, you wouldn’t easily expose your identity in front of me, right? Not afraid to scare me to death?"

"Of course," Xiao Man said nodding, smiling, "About the incident a while ago where Qianxun was kidnapped, I know about it. And how it was resolved too. Who doesn’t have secrets? It’s just that you didn’t tell me, so I pretended as if I knew nothing."
