Chapter 170 - Life And Death Are Uncertain
“Are you obedient, Daddy and Mommy will come back together?”
“Yes.”
An hour had passed since Xia Luobing fell into the water. The salvage crew’s expression became heavier and heavier. Almost everyone had an answer in their hearts. Xia Luobing could no longer live. Even if a healthy person fell into such an urgent river, it was still dangerous, let alone injured Xia Luobing.
“High game, what should we do?” Li Xiang’s eyes were red as he said in a deep voice. If he had taken the initiative to charge at the front, perhaps such a serious matter would not have happened.
Xia Luobing was a subordinate brought up by the high bureau. Now that her life and death were uncertain, Director Gao’s heart ached endlessly. As for Qana, the sky gradually darkened, and he said in a low voice, “Find him! Until we find him!”
Now that there was no bad news, it was good news. One day, when there was no corpse, there would be a day of hope.
Huo Yunqi was like a silent statue, staring at the people he had brought with him. He didn’t say a word as they gradually expanded their search waters. His expression was darker than that of the night.
The next day, at dawn, Huo Yunqi went to the intoxicated villa without saying a word, bringing Duo Duo back to the villa where he and Charlotte lived.
“Daddy, what’s wrong with you?” Duo Duo stretched out her small hand to touch Yunqi Huo’s face and said in a milky voice, “Daddy is not happy.”
Huo Yunqi’s cheeks were folded with his daughter’s warm little face. Only then did he feel that the life force in his body was slowly returning to his body.
“Duoduo, be good. Daddy will definitely protect Duoduo.”
Huo Yunqi seemed to be talking to a child or as if he had promised. He personally cooked breakfast for Duo Duo and took care of her like Charlotte when she was around. “Duo Duo needs to eat obediently so that Mommy will come back early.”
“I know Mommy went to catch the bad guy!” Duoduo raised her hand excitedly and shook it, “Auntie Intoxicated said that Mommy is a great hero!”
Yunqi touched his daughter’s hair and said, “Duo Duo is right. Mommy is a great hero.”
Therefore, the great hero will definitely return safely. He knows that he will!
“Dingdong ~ Dingdong ~”
The doorbell rang outside. Yunqi’s body stiffened and he suddenly stood up. He almost flipped the soup bowl on the table. He heard the doorbell, so it was
“Daddy, hurry up and open the door. Mommy must be back! Daddy, hurry up and open the door!” Duoduo urged excitedly, “The great hero is back!”
Huo Yunqi’s hand trembled as he opened the door. The light in his eyes instantly extinguished, and his expression dimmed as he said, “What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Huo Yunqi like this, Huo Yunxi sighed, bent down and picked Duo Duo up, kissed the little fellow’s cheek and said, “I’m here to see Duo Duo.”
Huo Yunqi answered with a “yes”, turned around and sat down on the sofa without saying a word.
“Big brother, let me bring Duo Duo home.” Huo Yunxi said. She was already intoxicated. She also knew the results of the DNA paternity test yesterday. “Let Mom and I take care of Duo Duo. Focus on finding sister-in-law! I believe she will be safe and sound!”
Huo Yunqi thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”
With Huo Yunxi taking care of Duo Duo, he could rest assured that he would go to Xia Luobing. While searching the waters, he had already sent people to investigate hospitals within a few dozen kilometers of him. He was betting that Xia Luobing was lucky enough to be rescued.
As long as he was sent to the hospital, he would be able to find him!
After Huo Yunxi left with Duo Duo, Huo Yunqi received a phone call from Bai Lin. It was said that there was a patient in a hospital in the northern suburbs who matched Xia Luobing’s condition.
“Immediately find the best doctor and go to the hospital in the northern suburbs.” Huo Yunqi hurriedly left. He had a strong premonition that it must be Xia Luobing, it must be her!
He felt her presence, she must be waiting for him!
The two cars drove towards the northern suburbs like lightning bolts. Huo Yunqi had been pursing his lips tightly for two hours without saying a word, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
Huo Yunqi and the others had already greeted the hospital before coming, so they saw Xia Luobing lying in the intensive care unit without any hindrance. However, when they saw her face, Huo Yunqi was completely stunned by her familiar and unfamiliar face. “Why her?”
Bai Lin also saw the person lying in the hospital bed. He confirmed that it wasn’t Xia Luobing, but judging from the boss’s tone, it seemed that the boss recognized this woman.
“May I ask if this young miss is the person you are looking for?” The doctor asked cautiously, “She was sent here by a fisherman who was fishing nearby. At that time, she was shot in the chest. It was very dangerous.”
Huo Yunqi looked at the pale-faced woman in the hospital bed and looked at Bai Lin. “Bring her back to City A Hospital.”
It was actually Zhuang Xinran. No matter what, Huo Yunqi did not expect to see Zhuang Xinran in such a situation.
Bai Lin nodded doubtfully and instructed his assistant to arrange Zhuang Xinran’s transfer.
On the way back from Beijiao Hospital, Huo Yunqi’s expression was solemn without a word. His entire body emitted a dangerous aura of “strangers don’t approach”. Bai Lin, who was sitting at the side, felt as if he was swimming in an ice cave. His entire body was icy cold.
“Boss, we’re here.” Bai Lin had already arranged for Zhuang Xinran to be transferred to A City’s Second People’s Hospital. He had come home from Huo Yunqi.
Huo Yunqi looked out the window and silently pushed open the car door. Just as he entered the living room, he heard Duo Duo crying. His heart suddenly grabbed and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
In the living room, Duo Duo sat on the ground, her white and tender hands flushed red, two lines of tears hanging on her face, and broken glass fragments on the ground.
“Duoduo, what’s wrong?” Huo Yunqi quickly walked over and hugged her daughter into his arms. Looking at her red arms, he said, “Does it hurt?”
Duo Duo nodded with a sob, “Duo Duo is in pain.”
Hearing the commotion downstairs, Liu Yan hurriedly went downstairs. Seeing the mess on the ground, she immediately stared at Duo Duo and lectured, “I told you not to move. Why are you such a disobedient child! You are truly uneducated!”
Duo Duo timidly hid in Huo Yunqi’s arms, her face clearly wanting to cry, but she had no choice but to endure not to cry, causing Huo Yunqi’s heart to ache incomparably.
“Mom, what are you doing?!” Huo Yunqi said coldly, his face filled with fury of thunder.
Liu Yan was shocked by Huo Yunqi’s gaze, but when she thought of what Xia Luoxin had said before, she immediately said unhappily, ” Yunqi, don’t forget who caused our Huo Clan to be like this! How could you treat Xia Luobing’s child so well and let someone bring her home?”
“She’s my daughter!” Huo Yunqi hugged Duo Duo and said coldly.
Huo Yunqi had just experienced the blow from hope to disappointment, and had just returned home without seeing her daughter’s miserable side. He felt his anger surge out like a wild horse that had escaped his control.
“She is Feng Shuo’s child!” Liu Yan said angrily, “Don’t be fooled by Xia Luobing!”
Huo Yunqi looked at Liu Yan and silently picked up Duo Duo and turned around. Letting Duo Duo come here was simply a mistake!
When Huo Yunxi arrived at the door, he hurriedly ran in with the child in his arms. Seeing Duo Duo’s wronged expression, he was shocked, “Big brother, what happened to Duo Duo?”
“Where did you go?” Huo Yunqi said coldly.
Huo Yunxi felt a strong pressure. He knew that the calmer Huo Yunqi’s tone, the angrier he became. He quickly explained, “Rui Rui has diarrhea. I took him to the hospital …”
Because Ye Shaochen wasn’t around, she couldn’t take care of two children by herself, so she could only leave Duoduo to her mother first. She didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
Huo Yunqi hugged Duo Duo and left the Huo Clan. Liu Yan was so angry that her face turned ashen. She gritted her teeth and said, “Take a look, this Xia Luobing is clearly dead, yet she left behind a little bastard to provoke our mother-son relationship!”
“Mom!” Huo Yunxi’s face instantly turned cold. She finally knew what she was wrong. Her brain was really squeezed by the door, so she would ask Duo Duo to give it to her mother!
Liu Yan glanced at Huo Yunxi, “So, am I wrong?”
“Of course not! That’s my elder brother’s child, your granddaughter. How can you use such vicious words to describe her!” Huo Yunxi said angrily while coaxing her son in his arms, “Moreover, the life and death of sister-in-law are unknown. Everyone is worried. How can you curse her to death?”
Originally, she thought that after so many things, her mother’s personality would ease up a bit, but she didn’t expect that after returning to City A, she would still do as she pleased, completely ignoring other people’s feelings.
“You helped that bitch teach me a lesson, didn’t you?” Liu Yan hurriedly grabbed the pillow and threw it at Huo Yunxi. “Xia Luobing killed your father!”
When Huo Yunxi saw the big pillow flying towards her son’s head, his face immediately turned pale with fear. He quickly turned to hide and smashed the pillow heavily on her back.
This time, Huo Yunxi was really angry, “Mom, do you want to smash your Rui Rui to death?”
Actually, when she threw out the pillow, Liu Yan was also shocked, but now that Rui Rui was safe and sound, her tone hardened, “What are you yelling at me for! Rui Rui is my grandson, why would I hit him!”
“You, you … you’re simply unreasonable!” Huo Yunxi carried her son upstairs angrily. She was really worried that staying in the living room would attract other unknown objects.
Looking at the messy living room, Liu Yan felt extremely depressed in her heart. She forcefully kicked the landing vase in the living room. After a “clang” sound, the good vase turned into broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
“All of them are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!” Liu Yan roared angrily. She took her bag and went out with a dark face.
She was wholeheartedly doing this for the good of the family, but neither her son nor daughter understood her. Instead, she had added more responsibilities to her. It was truly irritating!
“Dingdong ~ Dingdong ~”
As soon as Liu Yan left, she heard the phone in her pocket ring. She took out a strange number with a dark face and looked at it. She was puzzled. A terrifying laugh came from the phone, followed by the threat of Yin Testing, “Long time no see, Mrs. Huo.”
“You, who are you?” Liu Yan asked in a trembling voice. Although it was broad daylight, she felt her back go cold, as if someone was secretly staring at her.
“Who am I? I am your daughter-in-law! Haha …”
“Ah!”
Liu Yan was so scared that she threw away her phone. The phone fell to pieces on the road, but she felt that the horrifying laughter was still echoing in her ears.
“I am your daughter-in-law, hahaha …”
“Ah! Ah!” Liu Yan ran back home in horror. She shut the door with a “bang”. Without caring about her quarrel with Huo Yunxi, she rushed into her room and grabbed her hand anxiously. “There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost … Xia Luobing must have turned into a ghost and come looking for me!”
