Of course, Huo Cheng didn't say this out loud. He wasn't quite sure what his eldest sister and second brother were up to.
But one thing was for sure. The two of them had gone to so much trouble to beat around the bush. They definitely wouldn't let it go at that. They couldn't be satisfied with just this.
He'd just wait and see what these two were up to.
"I didn't say that. Whoever it is knows it in their heart. The treasures of the Huo family aren't just something ordinary," the eldest sister of the Huo family sneered.
"Enough! Stop talking nonsense. Once we find out who it is, everything will be clear. Shut up," Father Huo intervened and put an end to it.
"Yeah, fourth brother, why are you in such a hurry? Whether it's black or white, it will be clear once the investigation is done," the second brother of the Huo family said, looking at Huo Cheng with a mischievous smile.
That night, everyone stayed at the Huo residence, including the third brother, Huo Zhen.
After the group dispersed, Huo Cheng called Chen Fang to inquire about Gu Sisi's situation.
He had left in a hurry. Gu Sisi was still sleeping, so Huo Cheng just left first, leaving Chen Fang there to take care of her.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Miss Sisi has woken up. I just sent her home. If you're still worried, you can call the young mistress."
"Okay, I got it." After hanging up the call with Chen Fang, Huo Cheng didn't call Gu Sisi right away. Instead, he walked towards a room in the Huo mansion.
He pushed open the door. In the middle of the room was a small bed, and lying in the middle was the elder brother of the baby, the son of Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi.
After a long separation, when Huo Cheng saw his son, his eyes were filled with tenderness. Then he dialed Gu Sisi's number.
Beep, beep, beep... The first call was hung up.
The second call was hung up.
The third call was hung up.
After these three calls, President Huo knew that Gu Sisi was angry.
She must be mad at him for leaving her there alone without waiting for her. Huo Cheng helplessly rubbed his forehead. He really couldn't think of any other reason for her anger.
It seemed that Chen Fang hadn't explained to Gu Sisi where he had gone.
Just when he was feeling frustrated, Huo Cheng suddenly saw the active child on the small bed. An idea instantly popped into his mind.
Huo Cheng took several pictures of the baby. The baby was very cooperative. When Huo Cheng was taking pictures, the baby laughed happily and looked extremely cute.
Looking at these pictures, Huo Cheng was very satisfied. So he sent all these pictures to Gu Sisi.

Ding, ding, ding! The phone rang!
Huo Cheng guessed right. As soon as Gu Sisi saw the baby, she called right away. Facing this contrast, Huo Cheng rarely didn't get jealous of his son.
Special situations called for special measures. After all, it was Gu Sisi who was angry now. When Gu Sisi didn't answer the phone like this, being able to make full use of his son, Huo Cheng certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Huo Cheng, who was tasked with coaxing his wife, immediately picked up the phone and suppressed his urge to tease Gu Sisi.
"Huo Cheng, where are you? Is the baby in the picture ours?!" As soon as the call was connected, Gu Sisi hurriedly asked Huo Cheng.
"Yes, this is our baby. Sisi, you're not mistaken."
"Are they willing to return our baby to us?"
"..."
Facing Huo Cheng's silence, Gu Sisi understood.
"I see. You're at the Huo mansion, right? They didn't agree to return our baby to us, did they? I... I see."
Huo Cheng clearly felt the undisguised disappointment in Gu Sisi's tone.
"Sisi, our child will definitely come back. Don't worry. But next, you must listen to me carefully and remember what I say."
Huo Cheng's suddenly serious tone gave Gu Sisi a bad feeling. She perked up and prepared to listen carefully to what Huo Cheng had to say.
"Sisi, during this period, you must pay attention to your safety. If you can work at home, do so. In the morning, ask the driver to take you to the company, and in the evening, let the driver come and pick you up.
"Whether it's a night road or not, don't walk alone. Try to finish your work at home if possible. If you can't find someone to accompany you when you go out, it's better not to go.
"Remember not to believe strangers' words and don't get in strangers' cars easily..."
Huo Cheng rambled on and on. Gu Sisi felt a headache coming on. All he said was to tell her to pay attention to her safety. Gu Sisi was a bit speechless. Did he think of her as a child to give such detailed instructions?
Gu Sisi was getting a headache, but Huo Cheng kept talking.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Why are you more chatty than my mom? I'll pay attention. I'll pay attention to everything, okay?" Gu Sisi couldn't stand it anymore.
But Huo Cheng showed no sign of ending. He simply ignored Gu Sisi's plea and continued to talk about various safety knowledge for going out, staying at home, and working...
Just when Gu Sisi was getting extremely annoyed, Huo Cheng finally finished.
Phew! Gu Sisi instantly let out a sigh of relief. Now it was her turn to question Huo Cheng.
"Are you done? Then let me ask you. Why did you suddenly go back to the Huo mansion? Why did you just leave me there?"
"Because the Huo mansion has raised the first - level alert," Huo Cheng told the truth and described the whole incident to Gu Sisi in detail.
"Will you be okay?" After hearing Huo Cheng's explanation, most of Gu Sisi's anger faded away.
After all, this was something Huo Cheng couldn't decide. He was suddenly called back by the people in the Huo mansion, and they said that a treasure of the Huo family was lost. Gu Sisi inexplicably felt that this matter was not simple.
But what she didn't know was that Huo Cheng thought so too.
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me. You don't need to worry about me."
"Okay. Be careful at the Huo family."
"Do you remember what I just told you?" Huo Cheng suddenly asked.
"Remembered, remembered. I remember everything," Gu Sisi replied quite crisply. After all, she always had a feeling that if she didn't say she remembered, Huo Cheng would repeat what he had just said.
If that happened, it would be better to kill Gu Sisi. She never thought that chatty Huo Cheng could be so powerful. Gu Sisi even suspected that he had learned this chatty skill from her mom.
"Are you beside the baby? I seem to hear the baby crying. Go and check quickly!" Gu Sisi was afraid that Huo Cheng would continue talking, so she asked first.
Huo Cheng looked at the baby sleeping on the small bed in confusion. The baby was sleeping quietly on the small bed, with a pair of eyes staring at Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng stared back at him.
Just when he was amazed by this mysterious connection between father and son, the baby suddenly burst into tears.
Huo Cheng was completely dumbfounded. What... was going on?!
Why did he start crying all of a sudden? Did this child hear what his mom was saying?
