"Miss Lin, please adjust your attitude! Let me ask again, how did the victim, Ye Xiao, die?"

I mechanically replied, "She died of her own beauty, she was too good-looking and died of her beauty."

The man across lightly frowned, turned, and asked the officer beside him, "What do you think?"

The officer glanced at me, leaned in, and whispered something in his ear.

I didn't need to hear to know what he said.

Of course, the lie detector showed I wasn't lying because what I said was truer than true!

Holding my head in a fit of helpless rage, I shouted, "Bro! I've told you, she died of her own beauty, why won't you believe me!?"

Huo Zi An looked up at me, "If it were you, would you believe it?"

I fell silent.

Honestly, I wouldn't believe it either.

But it's the truth.

...

After a moment of deadlock, Huo Zi An stood up and walked out.

When he came back, he brought another lie detector.

I reminded him, "Officer Huo, this is the fourth one."

Huo Zi An: "I know."

But he was determined.

The next day, I was released without charge.

The forensic report came out.

Ye Xiao died of a heart attack, plus she was on the phone with a friend when it happened.

After exclaiming, "So beautiful," there was no more movement.

So, in a way, she did die of her own beauty.

Huo Zi An leaned against the wall at the main entrance, watching me leave.

His chin was covered with stubble, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

I guessed he hadn't slept all night.

I waved at him and bent down to get into the taxi.

As soon as the taxi reached my destination, I started sprinting.

There was no time.

No time!

Today is the day the male lead slips on the banana peel.

My brain must have been fried after winning the jackpot.

Such a cool, domineering CEO, and I let him slip on a banana peel and die in front of his own company.

I deserved to die!

This time, I will protect the domineering CEO!

If I can't protect him, I'll have to die with him...

I ran to the bottom of the Fu Corporation's building, glanced at my watch.

There were twenty minutes left...

I hid in the corner, nervously biting my nails.

"What to do? What to do?"

"What if Fu Ming Chen really falls and dies?"

A male voice came from behind me, "What? This time the target is Fu Ming Chen?"

Instinctively, I replied, "Yeah, the last one already died..."

I abruptly fell silent and turned to look at Huo Zi An behind me, my pupils quaking.

Huo Zi An smiled, "Got you, Lin Zhi."

"You really are suspicious."

Before I could say anything, I glimpsed a few children playing and running by.

One of the children casually threw down a banana peel.

The yellow banana peel drew a graceful arc in the sky, finally landing on the open ground in front of the Fu Corporation's building.

!

I was horrified and rushed over to pick up the banana peel.

Moving so cautiously, afraid of missing any bit.

Huo Zi An followed, "What are you doing?"

Without lifting my head, I said, "Picking up trash, isn't it obvious?"

Huo Zi An: "..."

"You look like you're holding a landmine."

What nonsense?

This is way scarier than a landmine.

"The CEO is here! Prepare to welcome him!"

The security guards in the building suddenly got excited and all rushed out.

Huo Zi An and I were isolated outside by them.

Screech—

The sound of a luxury car braking echoed.

Fu Ming Chen, wearing sunglasses, made a dazzling appearance!

My eyes scanned the ground back and forth, left and right.

Now there were no banana peels, Fu Ming Chen shouldn't fall and die.

Huo Zi An patted my shoulder, suspiciously asking, "What are you doing? You are being paranoid."

I slapped the back of his hand with my palm and said, "Lives are at stake, don't mess around."

...

As we talked, Fu Ming Chen had already gotten out of the car.

He walked with his long legs towards the Fu Corporation's building.

I let out a huge sigh of relief, "Now, the male lead shouldn't fall and die..."

My big mouth!

Big mouth!

Before I finished my sentence, I saw Fu Ming Chen's left foot trip over his right foot, his body uncontrollably falling forward.

And his hands were still in his pockets.

I cursed under my breath, pushed away the guards in front of me, and flew over.

At the moment Fu Ming Chen hit the ground, I landed on the ground.

Acting as a human cushion for him.

Fu Ming Chen's head hit my back.

I heard a "crack."

"CEO!"

"Quick, help the CEO up!"

...

Everyone hurriedly lifted Fu Ming Chen away.

I watched Huo Zi An walking over from behind.

He clapped his hands, "Elegant, very elegant." [1]

I was in so much pain that tears shot out, "Call an ambulance, damn it! I think I broke a bone!"
