South Hill Manor –
Huo Mian couldn’t sleep for the entire night . All the pressure weighed down on her, rendering her throat hoarse and her body sick .
She couldn’t stop coughing…
*Cough cough cough…”
“Mian, take some medicine . You can’t keep coughing like this . ” It broke Qin Chu’s heart to see her like this .
He took out some cough drops from the first-aid kit and retrieved a glass of warm water .
Huo Mian waved her hands . “I don’t want any medicine . I’m okay . Honey, do you have any new information on the twins?”
“Not yet, but I’m sure we will soon . They can’t leave the city, and C City is only so big,” Qin Chu comforted his wife .
Hearing his response, Huo Mian’s gaze grew heavy again .
“No, I have to go out and look for them . I can’t just wait here . Maybe they’re locked away in some dark cold corner, waiting for us to save them . ”
With that, Huo Mian got up to go downstairs…
“Mian, don’t . We don’t have a target . We can’t just wander the streets aimlessly . ”
“It’s still better than sitting here and doing nothing . ”
With that, against the wishes of Qin Chu, Huo Mian dragged her frail body out into the bitter cold, 6:30 AM in the morning .
She got into her car and began searching the streets…
Maybe only a mother could understand her emotions in a situation like this…
Afraid for Huo Mian’s wellbeing, Qin Chu followed her along the way, keeping a close eye on her .
At the same time, he was in constant contact with Gao Ran, alert for any new leads or movements .
Su Yu was also worried sick . He had to keep drinking water to suppress the fire in his stomach .
“Any news?” Su Yu messaged the Wechat group .
“Su Yu, we all looked but there’s no lead . ”
“Yeah, Su Yu, there’s no lead at all . Maybe they’re no longer in the city?”
“Impossible . The city’s sealed . Even a fly can’t pass through . Stay vigilant and keep searching . ”
With that, Su Yu threw his phone to the side, anxious as could be .
“President Su, do you want breakfast? You’ve been up the entire night . You didn’t get any sleep,” An asked as he drove .
“No, I’m not in the mood,” Su Yu snapped .
An fell silent…
“I wonder how Mian’s doing… she must be… suffering…” Su Yu sighed, murmuring to himself .
He wanted to comfort Huo Mian but didn’t know what to say .
She was an incredibly intelligent woman and was sensible as could be . He, on the other hand, was bad with words .
Plus, at a time like this, the person next to Huo Mian was her husband and calling her all the time would only add to the mess .
The only thing Su Yu wanted to do was to quickly find the twins using all of his resources .
Although the news didn’t reach the officials, on the down-low, the entire city was looking for the twins .
At this point, the twins were still under the control of He Yongjun and on their way to a clinic in the countryside .
At dawn, Huo Yanyan walked out of the suburbs with her daughter and hitchhiked back to the city .
Because He Yongjun had smashed her cellphone on the ground, the only thing she could do was retrieve her SIM card .
At the sight of her, Shen Mingxi immediately ran up to her .
“Where did you go last night?”
“I… went back to the countryside with my mom to visit a couple of relatives . ”
“Why didn’t you tell me? I was so worried!” Shen Mingxi walked over to her and held her hands .
“I…”
Before she could speak, Shen Mingxi discovered the bruising on her face .
“What happened to your face? Who hit you?” Shen Mingxi roared .
“I bumped into something by accident . You know that the toilets are all outside in the countryside . I wasn’t watching my step . ” Huo Yanyan made up a lie .
On the way back, she had also threatened her daughter that any mention of the news to Uncle Shen would lead to the girl’s abandonment .
Tiantian didn’t dare to utter a word…
It was Shen Mingxi who brought up the news unintentionally . “Yanyan, did you hear about the disappearance of Qin Chu and Huo Mian’s twins?”
“How did you find out?” Huo Yanyan looked at him anxiously .
