The two got up very early.
After breakfast, they had nothing to do. They sat quietly on the sofa for a long time.
Finally, the bell they had been looking forward to rang.
It was ten o'clock. The time they had agreed on was approaching, and it was time for them to set off.
Although they seemed calm on the surface, their hearts were extremely excited.
All the way, the air in the car was filled with joy.
They soon arrived at the Huo family's mansion. Just like last time, they could go straight in today.
Along the way, they didn't meet anyone else, which was reasonable. They didn't want any entanglements either.
However, when they reached the room they had agreed on, the small bed was empty.
The child wasn't in the room. The two frowned at the same time, subconsciously feeling uneasy.
But they couldn't have forgotten the day they had agreed on!
Huo Cheng called Huo Zhen on the side, while Gu Sisi tried to find clues in the room.
The small bed wasn't warm, which meant the child hadn't been lying there before. A servant of the Huo family passed by outside. Gu Sisi quickly followed her.
Just then, the phone was answered. Huo Cheng watched Gu Sisi's back as she left the room, then turned around and sat on the chair in the room.
"Where's the child?" Huo Cheng asked straightforwardly.
The person on the other end seemed obviously surprised. "What child?"
"My child. He's not in the room," Huo Cheng said concisely, his tone full of absolute coldness.
Huo Zhen put down his work and also replied concisely. "Wait for me. I'll be back right away."
The call ended. Huo Cheng looked at his phone. It only took a few seconds for the uncertainty in his eyes to turn into determination.
Huo Cheng knew his third brother wouldn't lie to him about this. Could something really have happened?
At this time, Gu Sisi returned to the room. Seeing Huo Cheng looking at her, she shook her head and said, "They all said they didn't know."
She looked extremely dejected. Huo Cheng pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong."
Gu Sisi, who had been extremely worried, felt an unprecedented sense of peace at this moment.
She felt a sense of fullness in her heart. The two were in a hurry, so they went outside to wait directly. Huo Zhen didn't let them down and soon came back.
His steps were a bit hasty. It was the first time Gu Sisi had seen panic on his face.
He looked in their direction, nodded slightly as a sign, and then walked straight inside.
The two waited quietly, checking the time every five minutes. Finally, after fifteen minutes, Gu Sisi couldn't help but ask, "How much longer do we have to wait?"
Huo Cheng shook his head. Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng and suddenly felt panicked.
She actually saw worry in Huo Cheng's eyes. Could something really have happened?
The expressions of these two men kept flashing through Gu Sisi's mind, and her uneasiness intensified.
She could only hope that maybe the Huo family had changed their minds and didn't want them to meet, rather than something really happening to her child.
However, not long after her silent plea, a white racing car suddenly rushed out of the Huo family's mansion.
Before Gu Sisi could react, she heard a voice saying, "Fasten your seatbelt."
She stared blankly at her lap to check. Before she could nod, the car shot out like an arrow from a bow.
Countless scenery flashed by the window. Huo Cheng stared straight at the racing car in front of him. He actually drove the sedan at the speed of a racing car.
It was so fast! Even though Gu Sisi was sitting in the car, she could still feel the strong wind blowing. Even though she had fastened her seatbelt, she still subconsciously grabbed the things beside her to steady herself.
Huo Cheng took one hand off the steering wheel and made another call. Again and again, no one answered.
He kept calling, his eyes still fixed on the car in front. Finally, the call was answered.
"Reason?"
"It's hard to say."
"I need to know the real truth!" Huo Cheng's face darkened.
Gu Sisi didn't know what the person on the other end said. Then she saw Huo Cheng suddenly turn the steering wheel at an intersection and didn't follow the white car anymore.
He tore off his earphone with one hand and stepped on the accelerator harder.
...
Huo Cheng stopped the car at the entrance of a residential area. Just as the car was about to stop, Gu Sisi also saw the white racing car enter their sight.
Huo Cheng got out of the car, and Gu Sisi quickly followed. Huo Zhen also got out of the racing car.
The two looked at each other, then looked at what was in front of them at the same time and nodded.
Gu Sisi didn't understand their eye contact and didn't dare to speak at this time. She knew that coming here must be related to her child.
She was only filled with anxiety.
Huo Cheng put his arm around Gu Sisi's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. The three of them entered a building in a strange atmosphere.
This was a wealthy residential area. The two of them looked well - off, so they weren't stopped by the security guards.
As the elevator went up, Gu Sisi counted quietly. Finally, on the 33rd floor, the elevator stopped.
Huo Zhen stepped out first and walked straight ahead. When Gu Sisi, with a serious face, wanted to quicken her pace to follow him, Huo Cheng grabbed her.
"We'll wait here," Huo Cheng said, dragging her to stand quietly at the intersection of the elevator and the stairs.
Gu Sisi, who didn't understand their actions, could only stand there anxiously.
Time passed by second by second. Suddenly, a figure rushed towards them.
Huo Cheng beside Gu Sisi suddenly rushed out. There was actually Huo Zhen following behind that blurry figure.
Could it be...
Gu Sisi looked closely at the blurry figure and began to suspect that the person was holding a child in their arms.
There was only one house on this floor. Huo Zhen guarded the door, while Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi guarded the elevator and the stairs. After running around a few times, the person quickly realized that there was no way out.
The person simply stopped. Only then did Gu Sisi see the person's face clearly. It was actually the eldest sister of the Huo family. She opened her mouth in surprise. Even more surprisingly, the eldest sister was clearly holding a child in her arms.
Could this be the real reason they had chased after her?
The eldest sister squinted at the few of them and finally fixed her eyes on Gu Sisi. She knew Gu Sisi was their weakest point, so she decided to start from here.
Gu Sisi didn't notice, but Huo Cheng beside her saw her intention and immediately pulled Gu Sisi behind him. The eldest sister hesitated in her steps.
Huo Zhen behind her slowly approached her.
"Oh, my dear brothers, are you trying to force me?" The eldest sister turned around with the child in her arms. Her face was calm, but her heart was extremely flustered.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out why they had discovered her so quickly!
"Eldest sister, have you violated some promise?" Huo Zhen suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the eldest sister's face suddenly changed.
