Early in the morning, Gu Sisi was woken up by Huo Cheng.
"Where are we going?" Gu Sisi had already been helped into the car by Huo Cheng. Looking at Huo Cheng, who was getting in from the other side with his long legs, she asked.
"You'll know later." After Huo Cheng sat down, he signaled the driver to start the car.
Gu Sisi didn't ask any more questions, but her heart was in turmoil.
During this period, she always had an illusion. She always felt that Huo Cheng had been very busy recently. Although he was always busy before, he seemed to be even busier this time.
He often worked overtime and didn't come back until one or two o'clock in the morning, then went out again early in the morning.
It was as if he had a lot of work tasks.
The car ride was very comfortable, and Gu Sisi slowly fell asleep.
When she woke up, Huo Cheng's hand was already in front of her. She looked around sleepily. When her consciousness returned to normal, she found that they had come to the police station again.
"What's going on?" Gu Sisi asked Huo Cheng beside her in a low voice.
Both of them were well - known figures at the police station.
When the policemen saw them coming, they greeted them to come in.
As soon as they entered the hall, before Huo Cheng could speak,
Gu Sisi already knew what was going on.
The familiar voices of a man and a woman came from inside: "Uncle policeman, why? This is unfair!"
It turned out that it was the car that Gu Sisi had taken by mistake, which was also the reason why she had accidentally entered the small mountain village.
Gu Sisi's face changed. She nervously tugged at Huo Cheng's sleeve and asked, "Will all the people in that village be sentenced?"
"Let nature take its course," Huo Cheng said indifferently.
At first, Gu Sisi hated that village. But after getting along with the people there, she found that, just as Huo Cheng had said, poverty was the root of all evils. Maybe because she hadn't been hurt, she didn't hate them so much later.
The people in the interrogation room noticed their arrival. They quickly got up and walked towards the two of them.
Laughing heartily, they said, "Old acquaintances!"
The police officer shook hands with them warmly and then said, "I've invited you here to be witnesses."
"Have all the suspects been arrested?" Huo Cheng asked calmly.
The police officer suddenly looked a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Well, this case is a bit complicated."
The three of them sat in another small room.
Only then did Gu Sisi understand that the old couple had committed another crime. But they were caught by the girl's family. After the interrogation, they found that this case was very big.
Following the clues, they found that it was actually related to Gu Sisi.
That's why they had notified the two of them. As for why Huo Cheng would come, the police officer had already assumed that he was there to accompany his wife.
"This is simply too abominable. They should definitely get the death penalty!" the police officer said righteously.
Gu Sisi nodded. She never expected that after them, many other girls had been hurt. The couple's "business" had spread to many poor and remote villages.
"Will the buyers be sentenced? For how long?" Gu Sisi asked with a complicated look on her face.
"It depends on the severity," the police officer could only answer this much.
Gu Sisi made a statement, explaining all the things that had happened that day clearly. Then the two of them got up. When they passed by the interrogation room again, the two suspects were still struggling.
"We were just buying and selling people. We weren't trafficking organs. We were just a way for organ trafficking, but we didn't do it ourselves. Why should we get the death penalty?"
"That's right! We did it for our son who has to have chemotherapy every day! What will happen to him if we're locked up?"
Their shouts were extremely loud.
The police officer was even more excited: "You have a child. But aren't these girls someone else's children? Why should they be treated like this by you?"
"They're not dead."
"Shut up!"
It was extremely noisy inside. Gu Sisi felt uncomfortable for some reason. Maybe it was because she was pregnant and more sentimental.
Huo Cheng gently stroked Gu Sisi's back and said, "It's okay. They will be punished for their crimes."
"Okay."
Just as they were about to reach the door, a young police officer suddenly chased after them.
"Wait a minute. Someone asked us to give this to you."
Both of them were very puzzled. The young police officer was holding a letter, on which it was written: To Wang Hubiao (Brother Biao) and Gu Sisi (Sister Sisi).
Gu Sisi immediately knew who the letter was from. After all, in that small mountain village, only one person called her Sister Sisi.
The young police officer continued, "This person couldn't come, so he asked us to forward this letter. But we've been looking for Wang Hubiao for a long time and couldn't find him."
His voice got smaller and smaller. He was extremely confused.
Gu Sisi took the letter with a smile and said, "My name is also on it. I definitely know who it is. Just give it to me."
"You're right. Thank you!" The young police officer suddenly understood.
He ran back to the police station quickly.
Gu Sisi looked at the letter and then at Huo Cheng with a dark face. She smiled even more and silently complained, "What's up with this name?"
She didn't expect him to reply.
But a voice came from the car silently: "It's a random name."
Gu Sisi could only hold back her laughter. In the car, she roughly skimmed through the letter. It was nothing but words of gratitude.
She folded the letter. The girl in the letter said that she was lucky to have met them. And wasn't she lucky too?
She looked at Huo Cheng, who was closing his eyes beside her, with emotion. Then she silently opened the envelope with a smile and asked, "Do you want to read it, Brother Biao?"
"No," Huo Cheng turned over, looking a bit arrogant.
Gu Sisi silently put the letter away again.
She felt even more emotional. Although she wasn't the main contributor, it felt really good to be thanked.
"Are you always thanked by people?" Gu Sisi asked Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng opened his ink - like eyes. Many scenes flashed through his mind. He gave a soft laugh and said, "I'm not a great philanthropist, nor a great good person."
"But I'm very thankful to you."
Suddenly, Huo Cheng felt his waist being hugged. He was startled and froze. When he came to his senses, his two stiff hands stroked Gu Sisi's back.
Wasn't he the same?
When they arrived at the Huo Mansion, Gu Sisi was about to go upstairs to take a nap.
Huo Cheng called her. She stood on the stairs, looking up at him in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
She even yawned widely.
Huo Cheng hesitated for a long time before he raised his head. Their eyes met. Gu Sisi then found that his eyes were so serious, as if there was something very important.
"Would you like to go to the Huo family's place with me to meet my parents?"
"The Huo family?" Gu Sisi looked around the whole Huo Mansion.
Huo Cheng's face had been serious since he got out of the car.
He shook his head and said, "No. It's my parents' home."
This was the first time Gu Sisi had heard about Huo Cheng's parents. After all, the Huo family had always been very low - key in society. Many people didn't know much about the Huo family, including Gu Sisi. At this moment, Gu Sisi suddenly realized something.
That was that Huo Cheng was just like an ordinary person with a family and parents.
He wasn't just a lonely and extremely powerful person.
Could it be that there had always been conflicts between them? Gu Sisi guessed.
"Sure!" Gu Sisi replied boldly.
There was a struggle in Huo Cheng's eyes. The words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them. Just as he was about to speak again,
Gu Sisi yawned again. She waved at him and said, "Tell me when it's time. I'm going to take a nap now."
After saying that, she walked in through the door under Huo Cheng's gaze.
Just as she was closing the door, she suddenly called Huo Cheng. He looked up absent - mindedly.
"Bye, hubby," Gu Sisi blinked her eyes and smiled brightly.
The door closed. Huo Cheng sorted out his thoughts. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
He could only take one step at a time. After all, this was something he had to face sooner or later.
His current strength was still not enough for him to be "free".
