“That’s right,” answered Qin Chu.
“Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say. I’ll go and pack for the trip.”
Huo Mian left the room, thinking her husband was overreacting a bit by insisting on going with her to the meeting.
But Qin Chu knew it wasn’t a small issue.
Now that Huo Mian’s identity was exposed, Ian, Nalo, and even Qiao Nan would target her.
Compared to Lu Yan, she was an ordinary person and easy to catch.
So Qin Chu was extremely cautious with her safety.
As to why he didn’t want Lu Yan to go with her, it was simple.
Lu Yan had too many enemies and was constantly being watched and hunted down.
Her presence would bring Huo Mian danger rather than safety.
Lu Yan knew it, too, which was why she seldom hung out with Huo Mian.
Except for the first day when she stayed with Huo Mian at South Side, she didn’t dare to be seen with her sister, afraid she’d bring danger to Huo Mian.
After all, in the past couple of days, wave after wave of killers had attempted to get her.
While Lu Yan shared a room with Huo Mian, Qin Chu had slept in the study.
Each night, Huo Mian prepared burning scents for him; Qin Chu began to sleep longer each day. The effects were slow but quite obvious.
Now, his complexion looked better.
Finishing the work at hand, Qin Chu called Gao Ran.
“What? You want to have a drink with me?” Gao Ran chuckled.
“Aren’t you on night shift today?”
“You know that?” Gao Ran chuckled.
“I memorized your rotating shift schedule…”
“I believe it. After all, you’ve loved me for many years as deeply as you love Huo Mian.”
“You’re disgusting,” Mr. Qin said with a straight face.
“Hahaha…”
“Old Gao, I want to talk to you about Huo Siqian.”
“What about him?”
“Mian and I talked about it and decided not to keep him alive…”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to use him to lure out a bigger fish?”
“From the looks of it, even without him, the big fish will still come to us… So, he isn’t worth it anymore. Mian is right; we’ve got to get rid of him to avoid future trouble.”
“Yeah. I feel uneasy while he’s alive. We should have gotten rid of him long ago,” Gao Ran said.
“Then you arrange to have someone do it tonight.”
“Tonight?”
“Yeah. Let’s not delay it. Make it neat,” Qin Chu instructed.
“Okay. I’ll have someone do it now.”
Ending the call, Qin Chu lit a cigarette and stood before the window, looking at the view outside quietly.
Huo Siqian had committed many crimes and deserved to die.
He hadn’t dared to kill him because he feared Mian would feel sad.
After all, that devil had been good to Mian and had never hurt her.
Now that Mian told him to kill Huo Siqian, Qin Chu didn’t want to delay it.
Ian now knew Mian’s identity and would come to them sooner or later even if they didn’t have Huo Siqian in their hands.
Mian was right. Huo Siqian was trouble enough and they must be wary of the appearance of Jack.
After careful consideration for a few days, Qin Chu decided to kill Huo Siqian tonight.
– In the suburban prison –
“We got the order from above to execute that prisoner tonight secretly,” the warden instructed his subordinates.
“Do we do it now?”
“Yeah. Do it quietly.”
