Sensing the danger, Huo Mian tried to wake up but couldn’t…
In the afternoon, Qin Chu finished making the arrangements and tried to start a video talk with Huo Mian .
But she didn’t accept it .
He sent her a message through WeChat, but she didn’t reply .
He tried to call her, but she didn’t answer the call .
Qin Chu was alarmed .
He called the fixed phone in the house and Pudding answered it .
“Dad…” Pudding yelled sweetly .
“Pudding, where’s your Mom?”
“She’s upstairs… She went back to the bedroom to take a nap more than one hour ago . She looked fatigued,” Pudding said .
“I called her, but she didn’t answer; she didn’t reply to my WeChat message, either . ”
“Huh? Really?” Pudding was puzzled because she knew her mom was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sound, not to mention the ring of her cellphone .
“Pudding, go up and check up on her . ”
“Okay . ”
“Hurry . ” Qin Chu was anxious .
“Okay . ”
Without hanging up the phone, Pudding immediately ran upstairs .
She knocked lightly on the door, afraid to alarm her mom .
“Mommy, are you in there?”
After waiting five seconds, she pushed open the door gently when she didn’t hear a reply .
Seeing the person in the bed, Pudding exhaled lightly .
“Hu… She’s sleeping,” Pudding mumbled to herself .
She saw Huo Main lying on the bed facing away from the door in her favorite sleeping gown .
Her back rose and fell slightly and looked to be sound asleep .
Pudding closed the door gently, walked out, and picked up the phone .
“Dad, Mom is indeed sleeping . ”
“Did you see her?” Qin Chu asked .
“Yeah . I saw her . I pushed open the door and she’s lying in bed . She’s sound asleep and didn’t hear the phone or she had muted the phone . Do you want me to wake her up?” Pudding asked .
“No . She’s been tense lately and might have slept poorly last night . Let her sleep . ”
“Okay, Dad . Anything else?”
“Is there anything unusual happening at home? Did any strange people come to the house?” worriedly, Qin Chu asked .
“No . Nothing unusual . ”
“Good . ”
“Uh-huh . ”
“You and your sister stay put . Tonight, I’ll probably deliver you to the Su Family . ”
“The Su Family? Why?”
“I’ll tell you later . Just do as I tell you . ”
“Okay . No problem, Daddy . ” Pudding nodded obediently .
Qin Chu ended the conversation with his daughter .
Then he called Su Yu .
Afraid that their phones were being monitored, Qin Chu asked Su Yu to come to the company .
Su Yu got his call in the middle of his meal with some directors .
“President Qin, President Su is here . ”
“Let him in . ”
“Okay . ”
Assistant Yang ushered Su Yu into the president’s office .
“You seldom ask to see me… Something big is going to happen?” Su Yu went to the point as soon as he entered the room .
“Take a seat . ”
Su Yu nodded and sat down on the sofa across from Qin Chu .
“Tonight, I want you to do me a favor . ”
“What is it?” Su Yu was surprised .
“After dark, I want you to pick up Mian and the kids to stay the night at your home . ”
“My home?” Su Yu was puzzled .
“Not your own house . I mean Grandpa Su’s house,” Qin Chu corrected him .
“Um… Why?” Su Yu knew Qin Chu wouldn’t let his wife and children stay the night outside without a good reason .
“It’s because Grandpa Su’s house is well guarded . ” Qin Chu was frank with him .
Understanding dawned on Su Yu and he asked grimly, “Are you going to war with Huo Siqian now?”
