“Huo Siqian, stop trying to scare me . Come out if you dare . I’m not afraid of you . ”
Huo Mian roared into the phone, but the other person hung up the phone quickly…
It was probably to avoid GPS tracking .
Huo Mian checked the phone number and discovered that it was a serial number; it was impossible to trace .
The birthday present and the bizarre phone call, however, was enough to tell Huo Mian that Huo Siqian was behind all of this .
He didn’t die; he was saved by someone mysterious on that day and disappeared ever since .
Huo Mian knew, however, that he’d never leave her alone as long as he was alive .
The history between her and Huo Siqian… everything that happened between them, there was no way that it would end if he was still alive .
After a long while of messy thoughts, Huo Mian sat down, unable to focus on anything else .
This birthday was proving to be a scary one .
Ever since she found out that the kidnappers still had people after her, Huo Mian made sure to stay alert .
She had her eyes on her surroundings all the time and watched her kids constantly .
Of course, she also kept a close eye on Zhixin and her mother .
She was simply too afraid of another attack .
Before Yan left, she emphasized over and over again the importance of staying low-key .
However, with her birthday celebration coming up, even though it was too grand of a gesture, she couldn’t refuse Tang Chuan and Qin Ning’s good intentions .
Huo Mian knew, however, that the less low-key she was and the more public they made the event, the more likely she’d be a target of her enemies .
She didn’t even recognize some of them… but nonetheless, they still wanted to capture her… or kill her .
After Chen Jie returned from throwing out the dress, she ran into Zeng Rou . The latter was donning a patient scrub .
“Jie, what are you doing?”
“Oh, I’m handling some stuff for the Vice Director . ”
“What stuff?”
“Oh, just some unwanted lab coats . ” Chen Jie didn’t say much .
“Oh… alright then, I’ll see you on the boat after work . ”
Zeng Rou made it look like she was close to Huo Mian so Chen Jie didn’t suspect anything .
Once there was some distance between her and Chen Jie, Zeng Rou walked toward the dumpsite .
She grabbed the white bridal gown and stuffed it inside a plastic bag .
– A remote corner in the hospital –
“Commander, please check this bridal gown . Huo Mian seems off . ”
Zeng Rou then snapped some photos of the gown and placed the dress back to where she’d found it .
This was to prevent Huo Mian from getting suspicious if she ever decided to look for the dress .
After three minutes, the Commander replied to Zeng Rou .
“Huo Mian was wearing it during the kidnapping by Huo Siqian next to the cliff wedding . ”
“But why is there blood on it?” Zeng Rou was confused .
“Maybe it’s a warning of some sort… or a threat?”
“So… does this confirm Huo Siqian’s appearance?”
“Not exactly… maybe someone’s pulling a prank,” the Commander replied .
“Not likely . Huo Mian’s been acting weird the entire afternoon . Her assistant’s been acting anxious too . I think there’s something going on . ”
“It’s not necessarily bad news if Huo Siqian’s really back . I really want to know who rescued him . After all, even Lu Yan didn’t pose a threat to them . Maybe they could be of use to us in the future . ”
The Commander seemed ambitious…even wanting to team up with the people behind Huo Siqian .
“Then what should I do tonight?”
“Go with the original plan… but make sure to be extra careful . Tonight… there will be a lot going on in the ship . ” The Commander emphasized every word .
Zeng Rou was excited too . She could sense that something big was about to happen .
