Chapter 1620 - I Know He’s Still Alive (1)
“I’m still fishing around the area, but it’s really hard because it’s the Pacific Ocean. I plan on giving up if we don’t find anything in three days. By then, we’ll be certain that Qin Chu’s dead. Huo Mian might come back any time, and I’ll tell her what happened. At the same time, we should all be on high alert. Huo Siqian won’t stop just because Qin Chu died. Don’t forget, his ultimate goal is Huo Mian.”
Jiang Xiaowei looked up. “I agree with Rick, we can’t relax. Huo Siqian’s not going to give up on Mian, we need to plan our next step.”
“What’s going to happen to GK then?” Gao Ran asked.
“I heard that Qin Chu’s uncle took over, the U.S. headquarters will manage it.”
“Does Qin Chu’s parents know what happened?”
“Not yet, I’ll ask my brother to contact Qin Chu’s parents later.”
After Rick said this, the crowd fell silent once again…
The people’s faces filled with grief when they walked out of Seductive Fox; Zhixin didn’t cry, but his expression was a little off.
“Zhixin, don’t go back to Sky Blessing Court, it’s not safe there. Come stay at my place,” Jiang Xiaowei offered.
“No, it’s okay, Xiaowei. I’m not a very important person, that asshole Huo Siqian won’t do anything to me.”
“Zhixin, come stay with me then, we have an extra bedroom,” Zhu Lingling said as she placed her arms around Zhixin’s.
“I’m really fine, Lingling, I’m not a child anymore… I’m going to wait at home for my sister to come back…” Zhixin shook his head; then, he looked down and said, his voice breaking, “My mom doesn’t know what happened to my sister and my brother-in-law yet…”
“Let’s just go home and keep in touch in case anything else happens. Let’s all be extra careful… I’ll make sure to update you guys about Huo Mian’s status in Jing City. Oh, right, Wei Liao, can you ask Su Yu what’s going on with the military?”
“I’ll call him later.” Wei Liao nodded.
After getting into their Mercedes, Jiang Xiaowei seemed out of sorts.
“Honey, what’s wrong?”
“Honey… get someone to follow Zhixin. If they see that he’s acting abnormal, knock him out cold and bring him to our place.”
“Why, you’re worried that he’ll…”
“Mhm, I don’t want him to do anything stupid. Mian’s not here right now, and we don’t know where Qin Chu is. I won’t be able to explain things to Mian if something happens to Zhixin as well.”
“Okay, I’ll get someone to follow him.”
After they returned home, Wei Liao and Jiang Xiaowei were just about to sit down and have dinner when Wei Liao received a phone call.
After a brief exchange with the person on the other end of the line, he looked at Jiang Xiaowei with admiration. “Honey, you were right.”
“What? What did Zhixin do?”
“That idiot… changed out of his clothes and left Sky Blessing Court with a fruit knife. He was going to the Huo Family mansion in search for Huo Siqian.”
“I can’t believe he would be stupid enough to do that… Huo Siqian’s not that easy to deal with.”
“Yeah… I’m glad you reminded me, or else sh*t would’ve happened… If Huo Siqian catches him, Zhixin would be charged with trespassing and attempted murder. If convicted, he’d be sentenced to at least seven years in prison…”
At this very moment, Wei Liao was extremely grateful for his wife’s wits.
“Where is he right now?”
“My people knocked him out cold and tied him up. He’s on his way to our place as we speak.”
“Mhm, hold him captive for now, at least until Mian comes home,” Jiang Xiaowei said, and Wei Liao nodded. “I will.”
“Honey, what’s wrong with Yu? Did something happen to him because he tried to save Mian?” Ever since Mian was taken out of prison, everyone lost touch with Su Yu. This made Jiang Xiaowei worry.
“Yu, he…” Wei Liao hesitated, obviously unwilling to tell his wife the truth.
“What happened to Yu!” Jiang Xiaowei almost jumped up in anxiety, pinching Wei Liao’s arm as if he was made of putty.
So many things had happened recently, she really couldn’t withstand any more bad news.
