“See, only a not-so-smart person like you would think that Mo Lian was behind this,” Qin Yuan took the opportunity to mock her.

“What did you say?” Huo Yu immediately rushed up and wrestled with Qin Yuan. Unfortunately, she was quickly subdued by Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan did not want to hurt Huo Yu, so he only grabbed her wrists and did not make any unnecessary movements.

“Qin Yuan, you’re hurting me!” Huo Yu cursed in a low voice.

There was actually a hint of crying in her words.

Qin Yuan was so scared that he immediately let go of Huo Yu. He did not expect that the little girl was actually faking it. She took the opportunity to step on his foot ruthlessly. Then, she walked back to Huo Zhen’s back triumphantly.

“Huo Zhen, you take care of your sister.”

“All of you, be quiet!” Mo Yan’s safety was at risk, and he was not in the mood to watch them flirt.

“I have to go back. Since Mo Yan went missing at the charity gala, there must be some traces left behind.” Huo Zhen rubbed his aching head.

“No, it’s too risky for you to go back! They have been looking for you all over the world. Wouldn’t you be falling into a trap if you go back?” Qin Yuan objected as expected.

Huo Zhen had dealt with those people all year round, so it was impossible for him not to know their methods.

“Yes, you can’t go back. Besides, Mo Yan might already been taken away to another city. I’ll send someone to look for her now,” Huo Yu added. It was rare for her to see eye to eye with Qin Yuan on the matter.

“I know, but I have to go back.” Seeing that Qin Yuan still wanted to persuade him, Huo Zhen added, “If it was Huo Yu who was kidnapped, would you still stop me?”

Qin Yuan fell silent. The atmosphere was also a little strange.

“I won’t answer a hypothetical question,” Qin Yuan quickly added. Unfortunately, Huo Zhen and Huo Yu had already noticed his panic.

Huo Yu pretended not to care and looked elsewhere. Her expression was very interesting.

…

“Your dinner for today.” The man threw a box of rice that resembled a pig’s food in front of Mo Yan. He himself was chewing large pieces of beef with a smug look on his face.

Mo Yan used her spoon to mix the box of rice a few times, but she had no appetite at all.

“Hurry up and eat. I won’t let you starve to death. If you don’t want to eat, I’ll just pour it into your mouth!”

“Of course I’ll eat. I don’t want to starve to death.” Mo Yan rolled her eyes at the man. “But I really can’t eat this. Then again, if I get too scrawny, he wouldn’t be willing to spend so much money to buy me.”

The man looked at Mo Yan up and down. What she said sounded very reasonable at first glance.

Mo Yan wouldn’t look good if she became thin due to hunger, and it would be troublesome if she couldn’t retain Su Hai’s attention.

“Then what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it for you, all right?” The man compromised, feeling that Mo Yan was quite interesting.

“I want to eat chicken drumstick. That isn’t too much to ask, right?” Mo Yan glanced over and squeezed out a smile to look at the man.

“Okay, I’ll buy it for you,” the man gritted his teeth and agreed quite straightforwardly.

Soon, he brought chicken drumsticks back.

Mo Yan began to eat it in front of him. However, she secretly hid the chicken bones in a place that the man could not see.

She had no choice but to come up with such a scheme; the man previously searched her body and took away all the sharp objects on her.

“My buddy has already told Su Hai about your situation. I hope he will be willing to spend money for you as you said.”

He had also released the news to Huo Zhen. After all, he could not put all his eggs in one basket.

After saying that, the man stood up and went out, closing the door heavily.

Mo Yan moved her feet and walked to a remote corner. She squatted down and took out the chicken drumstick bone that she had just hidden, rubbed it on the ground, and sharpened it bit by bit.

She looked extremely nervous, afraid that she would be discovered by the man.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhen had already gotten off the plane using his alias, Luo Tao. He was completely silent.

Qin Yuan and Huo Yu had wanted to tag along, but Huo Zhen rejected them. Since his identity of Luo Tao was already exposed, by going back, he was essentially putting himself in danger. There was no need to drag two more people down with him.

Having been demanded a large sum of money by Mo Yan’s kidnapper, Huo Zhen was willing to fork out the money. However, he wouldn’t tolerate the kidnapper touching his woman.

He sneaked into an alley and hid completely in the darkness. Like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait, he quietly watched.

Bang!

A sharp gunshot pierced through the night sky. Huo Zhen killed the assassin chasing after him with one shot. Then, he pointed his pistol at the other person’s chest.

“Don’t move, or I’ll shoot. At such a close distance, even if you don’t die, I can still make a hole in your body.”
