Huo Mian was running the opposite direction of Su Yu, straight towards the exit .
When the doctors arrived, Su Yu realized Huo Mian was gone… Only then did he realized that he had fallen into Huo Mian’s trap .
He immediately called Qin Chu .
“Qin Chu…”
“Speak . ”
“Huo Mian…” Su Yu was ashamed so he couldn’t say it out loud .
“What about Mian?” Qin Chu was worried by Su Yu’s hesitation .
“Just now, she pretended to faint so I ran out to call the doctors . When I came back, she was gone,” Su Yu said anxiously .
“She’s gone? How? Did you hear her picking up any calls?” Qin Chu guessed that Huo Siyi must’ve contacted Huo Mian .
“I didn’t hear any calls but…”
“But what?”
“She was in the washroom before she pretended to faint, and the walls are soundproof so I couldn’t hear anything . I’m not absolutely sure she didn’t pick up any calls . She was in the washroom for around five minutes . ”
“I understand . ”
They ended the call . Both Qin Chu and Su Yu were worried sick about Huo Mian .
Su Yu started to call everyone he knew, trying to have people investigate where Huo Mian and the twins were .
Just then, Qin Ning called .
Su Yu didn’t know Qin Ning’s number . He saw the call was from the States so he hesitated before picking up .
“Hello?”
“Su Yu?” Qin Ning asked as she wasn’t sure either .
“Yes, that’s me . Who are you?”
“Hi, I’m Qin Ning . ”
“Qin Ning? Oh, you’re Qin Chu’s cousin sister . ” Su Yu realized who he was talking to now .
“Yes, it’s me . From the timing, my brother and his family should have arrived in China . I tried calling Pudding and Little Bean but they aren’t picking up . I also tried calling Mian and my brother, but they aren’t picking up either… I’m worried about them . Did something happen?”
“How did you get my number?” Su Yu was curious .
It was rather surprising to Su Yu that Qin Ning had his cellphone number .
“When Pudding and Little Bean were here, they often mumbled your number and it’s easy to remember so it got embedded in my memory . Am I disturbing you?”
“No… but we are in some trouble right now . ”
“What trouble? Are they in trouble?” Qin Ning was very worried .
Qin Chu didn’t want to pick up Qin Ning’s call because he was in no mood to explain the situation to her . Time was also limited and he did not want her to worry .
Su Yu knew that they couldn’t keep this a secret to her for too long .
“They’re in trouble . I can tell you but you have to promise to stay calm and not to tell anyone in your family, especially your dad and the twins’ grandparents . They will worry…”
“Okay, I promise . ”
“The twins are missing,” Su Yu told Qin Ning the truth .
“They’re missing? What does that mean?” Qin Ning couldn’t put the picture together .
“Someone might have kidnapped them . ”
“Kidnapped?” When Qin Ning heard this word, her mind went blank .
“How can that happen? My brother is a very cautious person . They have bodyguards everywhere they go . How can someone kidnap the twins under their nose?”
“It’s obviously a scheme . Even if your brother was prepared, he would still have some blind spots . This isn’t the time to determine whether your brother was careless or not… Everyone is anxious and trying to find the kids . ”
“Mian is probably worried sick… As the mother of the twins, she’s probably the most affected,” Qin Ning asked . She started crying too .
“Huo Mian is also missing… just as of now…” Su Yu said hesitantly .
“What?” Qin Ning’s mind was exploding with all the information .
“Your brother told me to keep an eye on her but I let her slip away . She probably got a call from the kidnappers and is trying to save her kids . ”
“Oh my god! Mian is a woman… How can she save her children by herself? How can she be this foolish?” For the first time in her life, Qin Ning thought that Huo Mian was irrational .
