One day later, Huo Bainian suddenly appeared in Macau and hurriedly appeared in front of Huo Jinxi.
At that time, Huo Jinxi was presiding over the company's regular meeting via video. However, as soon as Huo Bainian walked in, he closed the laptop in front of him and asked in a face-to-face manner: "What are you doing?"
Huo Jinxi raised his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and replied, "It's a meeting."
Huo Bainian was so angry that his veins popped out, "Why didn't you tell me about your mother's disappearance?"
"Is it useful to tell you?" Huo Jinxi said.
"At least I won't be like you, sitting here doing nothing!" Huo Bainian said, "Why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you try to find your mother? Why did you come to Macau? Can you find your mother here?
?”
Huo Jinxi slowly closed his eyes, and his only trace of patience was finally exhausted by his yelling, "Qi Yuan!"
Qi Yuan accidentally let Huo Bainian in. He was suffering from a headache. Hearing this low voice, he immediately ignored everything and hurried forward. While pulling Huo Bainian out, he explained: "
Mr. Huo, you misunderstood. Mr. Huo came to Macau just for his wife... Mr. Huo has been thinking of a way..."
Qi Yuan finally pushed Huo Bainian out of the door. Huo Jinxi was the only one left in the room, and the silence suddenly returned.
Huo Jinxi sat on the sofa and glanced at the laptop in front of him, but he was no longer interested in continuing the unfinished meeting.
There were cigarettes on the table in front of him that Qi Yuan had not taken away. Huo Jinxi reached out, took the cigarette case, opened it, and was about to take out one, but suddenly stopped.
The next moment, he threw away his cigarette case, picked up his cell phone, and made a video call to Mu Qian.
Mu Qian quickly picked up the video, but it was Qi Ran and Yueyue who appeared on the screen.
The brother and sister are staying in Yueyue's little world. Yueyue is crawling around on the ground hard, while Huo Qiran is showing various toys in front of his sister, trying hard to attract her attention.
Huo Jinxi looked at the brother and sister quietly for a moment before his brows finally relaxed.
The next moment, the video screen switched to Mu Qian.
She took the phone and walked away a little, stared at Huo Jinxi's gloomy face for a while, and then said, "Have you thought about it?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi said calmly: "Do I have any choice?"
"So I'm not asking you this." Mu Qian shrugged and said, "I'm asking you, have you thought of a way to retaliate against him? How can we torture him to death so that we can be happy?"
Hearing these words, Huo Jinxi finally showed a smile and said slowly: "There's no rush, just wait and see."
"Yeah." Mu Qian responded and said, "What I'm anxious about now is... when will you come back?"
…
After this video, Huo Jinxi's mood improved significantly.
However, he had just put down his cell phone when, on the other side, Huo Bainian entered the room again. This time, he seemed a little more angry than before——
"The boy named Ye has a huge appetite! He actually wants to get involved in the development of new islands in the South China Sea! This is a government project and there can be no mistakes!"
Huo Jinxi looked at him again, "So, do you want to give it or not?"
Huo Bainian froze in shock.
Huo Jinxi'an was waiting for his answer quietly, without a trace of confusion in his eyes.
After a long time, Huo Bainian finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your mother is more important! If he wants a share of the pie, just give it to him! It's not that we can't afford it! As for the shareholders, I will find a way to convince them!
"
Huo Jinxi continued to look at him for a moment, then slowly looked away and said nothing.
…
Three days later, City S.
In the small villa where Cheng Manshu and Lin Shu lived, Huo Jinxi sat on the sofa and read a document. Huo Bainian was pacing back and forth anxiously next to him. Lin Shu was cooking in the kitchen and would come out to look at it from time to time.
At first glance, he also had an anxious look on his face.
Just when Lin Shu walked out again, the music of successfully unlocking the smart lock suddenly came from the door. Huo Bainian and Lin Shu were startled at the same time, and the next moment, they both ran to the door in unison.
Cheng Manshu was standing at the door. She had been missing for a whole week, but she still looked clean and elegant, and her face had no abnormality, just like before she disappeared.
"Madam!" As soon as she saw her, Lin Shu immediately stepped forward, stretched out her hand and hugged her, "It's great that you are okay..."
Cheng Manshu was startled for a moment, stretched out his hand and patted her back, and then looked at Huo Bainian who was standing behind the entrance.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Jinxi came slowly from the direction of the living room.
"Jin Xi!" Cheng Manshu reacted and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Huo Jinxi's hand, "I'm sorry, did I cause you trouble again?"
Huo Jinxi slowly shook his head and led her to the living room to sit down. Then he squatted down in front of her, looked at her and said, "Did they make things difficult for you?"
Cheng Manshu shook his head, "I have been trapped by them these days. I have always had good food and shelter, but I can't see anyone or contact the outside world..."
"Then have you seen who is arresting you? Can you recognize it? Even if it is just one person." Huo Bainian then said.
Cheng Manshu looked at him again and slowly shook his head.
"No need to work hard." Huo Jinxi said, "He has arranged it so carefully and will not leave any evidence."
Cheng Manshu heard this and quickly asked: "Who is it?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Huo Jinxi said, "You'd better follow me back to Tongcheng. This place is always out of reach. It will be safer in Tongcheng."
After a slight pause, Cheng Manshu shook his head, "I like it here very much, and I don't want to go back to Tongcheng. If you are really worried, just arrange more people. This time, I won't prevent them from approaching like before, okay?
?”
After hearing this, Huo Bainian seemed to want to say something. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
After Huo Jinxi was quiet for a while, he slowly said: "If you really want to stay here, this is the only way. But you must change to a new community first, and don't live here anymore."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Manshu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to me again and hurt you..."
"I won't let anything happen to you again." Huo Jinxi held her hand and whispered.
Cheng Manshu smiled slightly, reached out and touched his shoulder, and then said: "Have you been here these days? Are you going crazy thinking about Mu Qian and the child? Anyway, I'm fine, go back early.
Bar."
"There's no rush." Huo Jinxi said, "I'll ask Qianqian to bring the child over to show you. Yueyue is half a year old, and I haven't met your grandma yet."
When Cheng Manshu heard this, he was obviously surprised and couldn't hide his surprise. He paused, but couldn't help but said: "Will she be willing to let her child see me?"
