“Okay, I will . Thanks for letting me know . ”
“My people will keep an eye on Ian’s actions, and I’ll send people over immediately if something seems off . ”
“Okay . ”
Qin Chu hung up the phone, unable to keep his cool . He spent those four years in the U . S . , away from his wife and children, so he could look into Huo Siqian’s 6 years in Germany that were completely blank to the public .
He quickly found out that Huo Siqian had close ties to Ian’s family . During his investigation, he found out that Ian was the worst of the worst… He was barely human .
Ian had already killed too many people over the years to be counted . He was an abomination – a threat to society and the human population .
After Qiao Fei’s phone call, Qin Chu immediately ordered more men to protect his family . Then, he decided to go and see Gao Ran and tell him to stop his blind search .
Rick and Xixi originally planned to leave as soon as they could, but Xixi’s sister injured her hips a few days ago at the set and Xixi wanted to take care of her, so they stayed for a few more days .
Rick was busy as well, so the pair decided to stay in C City for a few more days .
That day, they were at a Japanese restaurant, and Rick seemed to have a lot on his mind .
“What’s wrong?” Xixi asked .
“Nothing…”
“But you looked troubled . ”
“I’m thinking about some stuff,” Rick replied as he took his time and ate .
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to push back our trip, but I’m really worried about my sister’s injury . You know she’s in the entertainment industry and so many unexpected things happen all the time…”
“Xixi, I don’t blame you for that, don’t think too much, okay?” Rick reached out and put his hand over Xixi’s .
“We’ll go back to the States as soon as she gets better, okay?” Xixi smiled brightly .
“Okay . ” Rick nodded, his expression filled with adoration .
At this time, a group of foreigners walked in, immediately sucking the attention of everyone in the restaurant .
This was a rare sight – there were four people, all dressed in black robes . They looked like they belonged to some sort of cult .
Rick wasn’t really interested so he didn’t pay much attention . However, the leader of the group walked up to him . “Hi, old friend, I didn’t expect to see you here . ”
Rick’s body froze upon hearing the man’s familiar voice . He looked up, but… the face wasn’t familiar . However, that voice…
“You…” Rick wasn’t sure if he heard right .
“Do you like my new face? It’s cool, isn’t it?” The man wore a creepy smile on his face . The whole conversation was spoken in English, and having studied abroad for a few years, Xixi naturally could understand their conversation .
Xixi looked curiously at Rick . “Honey, is he your friend?”
“Honey?” The man tilted his head and glanced at Xixi . She looked into his eyes and for some reason, felt frightened and disgusted . Although the man was extremely good looking, even more so than Rick, she still felt goosebumps all over her body .
“Old friend, this is what you’re into now?” The man asked Rick with a smile that sent chills up Xixi and Rick’s spines .
