Chapter 2356 - Devil’s Means (7)
“Okay, I will. Thanks for letting me know.”
“My people will keep an eye on Ian’s actions, and I’ll send people over immediately if something seems off.”
“Okay.”
Qin Chu hung up the phone, unable to keep his cool. He spent those four years in the U.S., away from his wife and children, so he could look into Huo Siqian’s 6 years in Germany that were completely blank to the public.
He quickly found out that Huo Siqian had close ties to Ian’s family. During his investigation, he found out that Ian was the worst of the worst… He was barely human.
Ian had already killed too many people over the years to be counted. He was an abomination – a threat to society and the human population.
After Qiao Fei’s phone call, Qin Chu immediately ordered more men to protect his family. Then, he decided to go and see Gao Ran and tell him to stop his blind search.
Rick and Xixi originally planned to leave as soon as they could, but Xixi’s sister injured her hips a few days ago at the set and Xixi wanted to take care of her, so they stayed for a few more days.
Rick was busy as well, so the pair decided to stay in C City for a few more days.
That day, they were at a Japanese restaurant, and Rick seemed to have a lot on his mind.
“What’s wrong?” Xixi asked.
“Nothing…”
“But you looked troubled.”
“I’m thinking about some stuff,” Rick replied as he took his time and ate.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to push back our trip, but I’m really worried about my sister’s injury. You know she’s in the entertainment industry and so many unexpected things happen all the time…”
“Xixi, I don’t blame you for that, don’t think too much, okay?” Rick reached out and put his hand over Xixi’s.
“We’ll go back to the States as soon as she gets better, okay?” Xixi smiled brightly.
“Okay.” Rick nodded, his expression filled with adoration.
At this time, a group of foreigners walked in, immediately sucking the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
This was a rare sight – there were four people, all dressed in black robes. They looked like they belonged to some sort of cult.
Rick wasn’t really interested so he didn’t pay much attention. However, the leader of the group walked up to him. “Hi, old friend, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Rick’s body froze upon hearing the man’s familiar voice. He looked up, but… the face wasn’t familiar. However, that voice…
“You…” Rick wasn’t sure if he heard right.
“Do you like my new face? It’s cool, isn’t it?” The man wore a creepy smile on his face. The whole conversation was spoken in English, and having studied abroad for a few years, Xixi naturally could understand their conversation.
Xixi looked curiously at Rick. “Honey, is he your friend?”
“Honey?” The man tilted his head and glanced at Xixi. She looked into his eyes and for some reason, felt frightened and disgusted. Although the man was extremely good looking, even more so than Rick, she still felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Old friend, this is what you’re into now?” The man asked Rick with a smile that sent chills up Xixi and Rick’s spines.
