“Yeah, he’s back. He changed his name and snuck back. That’s how he fooled everyone.” Qin Chu regretted gravely how careless he was. He never expected Huo Siyi to dare to come back to China. After all, back then, Huo Siqian wanted to kill his whole family.

Moreover, Qin Chu never thought that Huo Siyi would go after his children rather than seek revenge on Huo Siqian.

“If Huo Siyi is behind this, then he must be after me for revenge.” Huo Mian was able to calm down after hearing that Huo Siyi was behind it.

“Don’t worry… Huo Siyi is a simple-minded person. He’s never going to succeed, and I’m sure he probably just wants money. We’ll give him anything he wants as long as he doesn’t hurt Pudding and Little Bean.” Qin Chu was scared that Huo Mian would become overly anxious.

“I understand.”

“Are you feeling better?” Qin Chu asked.

“Yeah, I feel a lot better. Don’t worry about me. Focus on the kids.”

“Okay. Can you hand the phone over to Su Yu?” Qin Chu asked matter-of-factly.

“Okay.” Then Huo Mian handed Su Yu the phone.

“Hey, it’s me.” Su Yu still felt awkward talking to Qin Chu over the phone, since they were in love with the same woman.

“Please take care of Mian for me… I think Huo Siyi will call her or me for the ransom… I’m afraid that she might act rashly and bring him the money herself… Huo Siyi isn’t after the money. He wants revenge. You have to keep an eye on her. If anything happens, call me!”

“Don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Su Yu nodded.

Huo Mian asked Su Yu, “What did my husband say?” after he hung up the phone.

“Oh… He told me to take care of you. You’re not doing so well and he wants to make sure that you don’t relapse in the future. You just came back from the States, so you’re probably jet-lagged. You need to get some rest while waiting for the kids to come home. You can’t destroy your body.”

“Really?” Huo Mian did not believe Su Yu.

“Of course… When have I ever lied to you?” Su Yu was slightly guilty.

“I’m hungry. Can you get me some food?” Huo Mian suddenly asked.

“What do you want to eat. I can get someone to buy it… It’s too much work for me to go myself…”

“…” Huo Mian didn’t say anything afterward since Su Yu didn’t fall for her trap.

At the Munic.i.p.al Bureau, Qin Chu, Gao Ran, and many other police officers were busy investigating. This case was huge and they had a limited amount of time.

“Who do you think Huo Siyi would call for the ransom money?” Gao Ran asked Qin Chu.

“Probably Mian…”

“Because he’s here for revenge?” Gao Ran furrowed his brows, and Qin Chu nodded with a heavy heart. He seemed to have a lot on his mind.

“Do you think Huo Siqian will get involved?” Gao Ran a.n.a.lyzed the situation.

Qin Chu remained silent. It seemed like he was thinking hard about something.

Time ticked onwards, second by second…

Huo Mian was staring at her phone in the hospital. Su Yu took note of that.

“I’m going to the washroom… Are you going to follow me there?” Huo Mian got up and looked at Su Yu.

“Of course not. Do I look like such a dirty-minded person?”

Huo Mian secretly took her phone and earbuds with her to the washroom in the suite.

Su Yu was worried so he stood by the door. He suspected that she was hiding something from him.

Huo Mian sat on the toilet and stared at her phone.

In less than three minutes, a number starting with 1009 called.

Since her headphones were plugged in, her phone did not ring.

Huo Mian took the call and put on her headphones.

“Huo Mian… It’s been a long time.” From the other side of the call, Huo Mian heard Huo Siyi’s voice, and she felt s.h.i.+vers echo through her body.

“Huo Siyi, where are my daughters?” Huo Mian’s voice was soft. She put the headphone microphone very close to her lips so the person on the line could hear her clearly while Su Yu, who was guarding outside, couldn’t.
