Chapter 3908: 3908
“Tiantian, you’re… still up?”
“I’m scared . ”
Wearing a white cotton sleeping gown, Tiantian walked slowly to Shen Mingxi’s side on bare feet .
“Why didn’t you put on shoes? It’s cold on the floor . ” Shen Mingxi glanced at the child’s feet and frowned .
“I had a nightmare, Uncle Shen . ”
“What’s up?”
Not in the mood to talk to the kid, his tone was dismissive .
But to his surprise, Tiantian walked over and sat on his lap, leaning her small body on his wide chest .
“Uncle Shen, I had a scary dream… I dreamed my mom died . Her face was covered in blood and she kept yelling for help . ”
If it was in the past, Shen Mingxi wouldn’t show any reaction .
After all, he didn’t care about Huo Yanyan anymore .
But tonight…
Tiantian’s words made him shiver violently .
“Uncle Shen, are you okay?”
Tiantian looked up and saw Shen Mingxi’s dark expression; she asked innocently .
“No… Nothing . It’s just a dream . Don’t be afraid . ” As he said the words, Shen Mingxi felt turmoil inside .
As Huo Yanyan’s daughter, Tiantian might have some special connection with her mother .
“Uncle Shen, I want to call my mom… I feel bad that I was rude to her… After all, she’s my mom and she loves me… Do you mind?”
The request caught him by surprise .
“No… I don’t . ”
“Can I use your cellphone? Mine is out of power and is recharging in my bedroom . ”

“Okay . ” Shen Mingxi picked up his phone from the desk slowly and handed it to Tiantian .
Tiantian dialed Huo Yanyan’s number and it went through, but no one answered .
It seemed Huo Yanyan had left her cellphone in her house when Bao’s people dragged her out .
“Huh? That’s strange… Why isn’t my mom answering the call? Is she asleep?”
“Maybe…”
Shen Mingxi had a strange look on his face .
“Uncle Shen, you are not mad at me for missing my mom, right?”
“No . ”
“Good . I’ll call again tomorrow . Uncle Shen, you must go to bed now . ”
Then she kissed his cheek and ran back to her room barefooted .

In the whole process, Shen Mingxi looked numb .
He hadn’t thought how he’d face Tiantian after this thing; after all, Huo Yanyan was Tiantian’s last family member in the world .
Now that her mother was dead, Tiantian was an orphan without parents or grandparents .
Tiantian had only him in the world now…
He felt it was a cruel thing to a kid of seven years .
He couldn’t sleep during the night, struggling with guilt and common sense . On one hand, he felt he did the right thing by killing Huo Yanyan; on the other hand, his act made Tiantian an orphan, taking the last family member from her .
He didn’t know that Tiantian had walked out of his study with a weird smile on her lips .
She was still young and had no ability to know the whole process, but she had known Shen Mingxi would get rid of her mother .
From his expression tonight, he should have done it .
Tiantian called her mother just to confirm it . Huo Yanyan would never leave a call unanswered even in the middle of the night .

The only explanation was that she was dead .
– In South Hill Manor –
After receiving the video, Gao Ran arrested the gangsters and knew the whole thing through interrogation .
He called Qin Chu immediately .
It was 5 AM .
“Chu, Huo Yanyan was killed . ”
