In the video, Su Yu was shot in both collarbones but she couldn’t see the shooter.
Zhao Qingya’s voice came at the end of the video, “Huo Mian, bitch, you didn’t keep your promise and even investigated us in the States? Hehe. This is a lesson for you… Remember, you must come alone. If you play games with us again, just wait to get Su Yu’s body.”
Seeing Su Yu fall to the ground, Huo Mian’s heart contracted.
She tried to calm down and analyzed Zhao Qingya’s words.
She didn’t investigate Zhao Qingya, not to mention investigating them in the States… Was it possible…?
Huo Mian remained silent and thoughtful for the whole evening.
Seeing Su Yu being shot in the video made it impossible for her to remain calm; she wished she could go right now and rescue him.
When someone’s bottom line was reached, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, everyone had only one life. If Su Yu died, nothing could get him back.
The twins were tired due to the day’s activities and went to bed early after a shower.
Huo Mian sat in the bedroom and waited for Qin Chu’s return.
He came back at almost 7 PM. The moment he entered the bedroom, Huo Mian stood up.
“Hon, are the children asleep?”
“Yeah, they’re tired.”
“Are you tired? If you are, go to bed now.” Qin Chu looked a bit different tonight.
“Hon, I need to talk to you.”
“Okay.”
Qin Chu took off his coat and loosened his tie.
“What’s up? You look serious.”
Qin Chu walked over, held her face in his palms and kissed her.
“Hon, are you keeping something from me?” Huo Mian asked.
“What do you mean?” Something flashed across his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Mian looked up at him in the eye.
“Hon, you monitored my phone calls, right? You investigated them, right?”
Other than Qin Chu, Huo Mian couldn’t think anyone could have connections to investigate in the States so swiftly.
Hearing Huo Mian mention the issue, Qin Chu sighed slightly.
“You finally want to talk with me about it.”
“Hon, I didn’t want to keep it from you…”
Huo Mian tried to explain since she didn’t want her husband to misunderstand her.
“I know it’s not your fault. I heard the phone conversation. Zhao Qingya threatened you and you had no choice.”
“You decoded it so soon…?” Huo Mian knew her conversation had been encrypted. Even though Qin Chu’s hacking skills were good, she was still stunned that he could decode it so fast.
Qin Chu looked at her eyes calmly.
“I must thank Dad for it.”
“Dad?” Huo Mian was surprised.
“Did you call your dad?”
“Yeah.” Huo Mian nodded.
“He noticed something was not right and contacted me. I was having trouble decoding the phone record and he helped me.”
“I see… Dad is very good.” Huo Mian understood suddenly.
“You can’t keep it a secret anymore. Mian, I know how important Su Yu is to you… I don’t want him dead, either. After all, we’re deeply indebted to the Su Family and I’m not an ungrateful man. But please don’t shoulder it alone. Let’s work together and get Su Yu back, okay?”
Qin Chu didn’t blame Huo Mian for keeping it from him; he just soothed her gently since he knew how hard the whole thing was to her.
Hearing his words, Hou Mian burst into tears; terrified, Qin Chu moved over and held her tightly in his arms.
