She Zhuyin: "..."
Good grief! This child's killing intent was far too strong now! That wasn't good...
She sighed, knowing that her choice back then had not been wrong.
But seeing Huo Yushen like this now still broke her heart.
After thinking it over, She Zhuyin said, "How about we tell the public that you were severely injured, and that serious brain failure has left you in a deep coma? Even in the best-case scenario, you'll remain in a vegetative state for the rest of your life."
"This was diagnosed by the chief physician of the Special Security Bureau."
"That Empress was so quick to accept your resignation and have you retire because she was certain you wouldn't recover..."
"So if they discover that you woke up in less than a day, with nothing wrong except for losing a few memories—and that even your Gene Evolution Level hasn't dropped—how do you think they'll react?"
"Do you think that Empress will really let you and your subordinates off so easily?"
Huo Yushen fell silent in thought.
Other than She Zhuyin, only Xia Chujian knew that he had awakened.
He asked cautiously, "Can Xia Chujian keep a secret?"
She Zhuyin gave him a half-smile. "What if she can? What if she can't?"
Huo Yushen said dismissively, "If she can, then leave her alone. If she can't, then..."
He held his palm flat like a blade and made a throat-slitting gesture.
She Zhuyin burst out laughing so hard that she doubled over. "Oh my! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"If you treat her like this, once you recover your memories, you definitely won't survive! Hahahaha..."
Huo Yushen: "..."
There was no way for him to respond to that.
