Yan Hua looked at the cold outlines of Bo Yan’s face and bit her lip, saying in a soft voice, “Little Stone got a shock and you have a cold look. I’m afraid that when you find him later, he would get another shock.”
Hearing Yan Hua’s words, Bo Yan smirked. “Do I look that scary?”
“It’s not that you look scary. It’s just that your aura is too cold. Didn’t you notice that you make Little Apple cry every time you go and see her?”
Bo Yan stared at her. “Do I?”
Yan Hua was worried about Little Stone and she stepped forward, pulling Bo Yan’s hand. “Let’s go!”
Her fingers were fair and slender, with a touch of coolness. Bo Yan shivered the moment she touched his wrist, like a spring wind had passed through him.
Yan Hua followed his gaze and looked down. She released him when she realized that she was holding his wrist, but the next second, he grabbed her fingers tightly.
“It’s hard to go up the mountain. I’ll hold your hand.”
Yan Hua struggled but could not break free. Not wanting to waste time on such things, she let him hold her hand and went up the mountain together.
After smelling the scent on Little Stone’s clothes, the police dog led them deep into the mountain.
It was not easy to walk on the mountain road. Thorns were everywhere and Yan Hua got cut on her arms several times. Although it hurt, she kept silent.
The sky was gradually turning dark and the police dog brought Bo Yan and Yan Hua to the cave where Little Stone was hiding.
Little Stone shouted when he saw strangers and resisted their approach.
Yan Hua shook her head at Bo Yan. “Bring the police dog to a spot where Little Stone can’t see. I’ll go in and talk to him.”
Little Stone was around 11 to 12 years old, fair, tall and slim. When Yan Hua was approaching the cave, he kept throwing stones at her.
Yan Hua did not cry out in pain and she said gently, “Little Stone, don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person, I’m here to save you. Don’t worry, me and the uncle outside won’t hurt you.”
Yan Hua’s soft voice was like a bird chirping. Her good voice and her exquisite features did not look like a bad person to people and Little Stone slowly stopped throwing stones at her.
Yan Hua squatted in front of him, reaching out her hand but before she could touch him, Little Stone suddenly lowered his head and bit hard on the arm.
Little Stone bit her hard.
Yan Hua felt like the flesh and skin were going to be bitten off by Little Stone. Tears of pain gushed out from her eyes, but she did not call Bo Yan in, nor did she push Little Stone away.
Little Stone released Yan Hua only after he could hardly bite anymore.
Looking at the tears swimming around Yan Hua’s eyes and how she did not say a word, Little Stone’s body shrank back. “You’re… really not a bad person?”
Yan Hua shook her head. “I’m not. Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.”
Yan Hua reached her hand to Little Stone. “Leave with us from here, okay?”
…
Yan Hua and Bo Yan took Little Stone to a hotel.
After Little Stone had finished eating and had a shower, Bo Yan, who had contacted Mu Sihan, came in.
Looking at Yan Hua’s slightly pale face, he held her wrist. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Yan Hua sucked in a breath of air and tried to pull back her hand. Bo Yan found that something was wrong and pulled up her sleeve.
Seeing the bloody bite wound on her arm, his handsome face darkened. “Why didn’t you say anything when you’ve been bitten so badly?”
Yan Hua shook her head. “I’ll apply medicine later…” She stopped midway when she saw the coldness shooting out from his eyes.
Why was his expression like he had also hurt himself?
Bo Yan looked at Yan Hua, his expression darkening some more. This past year, she really had grown up a lot.
Yan Hua was frightened by his serious and cold expression and she sniffed. “It’s really nothing serious…”
Before she could finish, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
She felt slightly choked up when she knocked into his firm chest.
“Bo Yan…”
He suddenly pulled up the arm that was bitten by Little Stone and gently kissed on the area where she was hurt.
That warm touch made Yan Hua’s body shiver and her eyes were misty with tears.
…
After receiving Bo Yan’s call, Mu Sihan had already sent a private plane to pick them up.
He did not expect that Qiao Yanrong was so mad that he had killed an innocent family.
Such person should be torn from limb to limb!
Now he had found the child who had once seen Gu Sheng’s old appearance, he did not know how was it on Qiao Yanze’s end…
Mu Sihan took out his phone to call Qiao Yanze.
Qiao Yanze had not gotten the DNA testing results, but after meeting Mu Sihan, he was secretly searching for the member of SSS group who was hidden by Qiao Yanrong.
But things were not going smoothly.
Mu Sihan frowned when he heard that Qiao Yanze had not found the person. “There’s not much time left. If we still can’t find that person, your uncle and niece relationship with Nan Zhi will end here.”
Qiao Yanze cursed. “How the hell can I find them in just a day?”
“I have a plan. Do you want to try?”
“Let’s hear it.”
“From what I know, since Lian Yun’s death, Qiao Yanrong would drink several glasses at night. I have a drug here that will make a person hallucinate when added to their wine.”
“You mean, you want me to drug my brother?”
“Now only you can get close to Qiao Yanrong. Also, he’s not your biological brother.”
…
When Qiao Yanrong returned to the castle, it was almost ten p.m.
After taking a bath, he looked at Lian Yun’s photo for a while when there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, he lifted his lips into a smile when he saw Qiao Yanze leaning against the doorway. “Yanze, what’s wrong?”
“Brother, recently I got interested in a girl but she didn’t like me so I fell out of love. I know you have a lot of good wine in your room. Brother, take them out and let’s have a few drinks together!”
Seeing the sadness in Qiao Yanze’s eyes, Qiao Yanrong moved aside to let him in.
Qiao Yanrong took a bottle of Romanée-Conti and Qiao Yanze took it over from Qiao Yanrong, opening it and poured two glasses. He then handed one of the glasses to Qiao Yanrong.
“Brother, we brothers haven’t had a drink together for a long time. I’ll toast you and thank you for taking care of me.”
Qiao Yanrong looked at Qiao Yanze, a faint smile on his lips. He did not take the glass offered by Qiao Yanze but took the other glass from Qiao Yanze’s hand.
Qiao Yanze’s expression changed slightly. “Brother, you don’t trust me?”
Qiao Yanrong touched Qiao Yanze’s glass with his and smiled. “Why wouldn’t I trust you? Come, let’s drink.”
Qiao Yanrong drank all the wine in the glass and looked at Qiao Yanze, who was holding the glass and not drinking. He narrowed his eyes. “Yanze, why aren’t you drinking? Could it be that you drugged this glass of wine?”
