After bringing back Gu Sisi, Huo Cheng didn't take her directly home but settled her in a hotel.
"Sisi, stay here for the next few days. I'll come pick you up after I sort out the matters at Huo Mansion," Huo Cheng said, stroking Gu Sisi's hair comfortingly before leaving, and planting a kiss on her forehead.
Huo Cheng still had a lot to do. If the issues at Huo Mansion weren't resolved, it would always be a threat to Gu Sisi.
Huo Cheng could guess why Gu Sisi had gotten into trouble last night. Although he didn't ask her for details, afraid of bringing back bad memories, he could figure out most of it.
To prevent Gu Sisi from getting hurt again, Huo Cheng thought it was the best arrangement to leave her in the hotel.
After Huo Cheng left, Gu Sisi sat there blankly for a long time.
Thinking about what had happened in the past one or two days, she still felt it was like a dream. First, because of Xia Lian, she accidentally learned about everything Huo Cheng had been through at Huo Mansion.
Then, when she set out to find Huo Cheng, things went smoothly at first. But later, she ended up in a black car.
Just thinking about last night still made Gu Sisi feel scared. She had been too careless. She got in the car without understanding anything.
Gu Sisi remembered that after learning about the situation Huo Cheng was facing, she didn't think about anything else. She just wanted to be with Huo Cheng. But she knew it wasn't that easy.
Neither Gu Chenfei nor Sister Hu wanted her to take risks with her own safety. Not to mention that Yang Qian and Jiang Lihao had also come. They all didn't want her to do so.
But Gu Sisi wasn't afraid. She just wanted to be with Huo Cheng no matter what. Moreover, besides Huo Cheng, there was also her other baby.
Seeing the baby only once a month was too short. Gu Sisi wanted to see him every day.
She not only wanted to spend the rest of her life with Huo Cheng but also wanted to watch the baby grow up healthily and happily.
When she was chatting with Gu Chenfei on the balcony, Gu Sisi hesitated for a moment. She thought that maybe it was okay for her not to go with Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng's ability was obvious to all. Everyone believed that he could solve the problems at Huo Mansion perfectly.
But later, when she thought of the baby, she really wanted to go to Huo Mansion again. She had been patient for too long. Huo Cheng always told her to wait, saying that he was working hard.
But Gu Sisi felt that she couldn't wait anymore. She had waited for so long. Just thinking about her baby living in that man - eating den made her have nightmares often.
In her dreams, she always saw the baby. The baby cried and asked her why she wanted the younger brother but not him.
"Mom! Mom, don't you love me!"
"Mom, I'm so cold. Why don't you come and see me?"
"..."
Every time she had such a dream, Gu Sisi would wake up startled. When she woke up, she really wanted to tell Huo Cheng everything and wanted his comfort. But when she saw Huo Cheng's sleeping face, she couldn't bear to do it.
She knew that Huo Cheng also had his hardships.
So Gu Sisi always persuaded herself to relax.
But every time she saw the baby, she would involuntarily think of the other child.
Just thinking about it would bring on a series of nightmares. Gu Sisi felt that those nightmares were driving her crazy.
That's why she was so impulsive last night. No matter what, she wanted to go to the Huo family and be with Huo Cheng. No matter what, she would raise her child, even if it meant stealing or robbing.
But no one had expected that Gu Sisi had guarded against those who really worried about her, but she hadn't guarded against the villains who had prepared in advance.
After parking the car at the car - wash shop, Gu Sisi planned to take a taxi to the area near Huo Mansion.
She had just stood there for a short time when a car came. Without hesitation, she got in, without even thinking about how it was such a coincidence.
At that time, there was actually a taxi still out.
Now thinking about it, she really was stupid back then.
What happened next was really clichéd. As soon as Gu Sisi got in the car, she felt that the smell in the car was strange. Her eyelids got heavier and heavier, and slowly, she closed her eyes.
When she woke up again, she was in an abandoned warehouse.
At that time, Gu Sisi was tied up and thrown on the ground. There was a man sitting on a chair beside her, dozing off with his head down.
After realizing her situation, Gu Sisi tried to escape. But unfortunately, she was tied too tightly. During her struggle, she startled the dozing man.
The man wasn't surprised to see Gu Sisi wake up. Gu Sisi took a look and found that he wasn't the taxi driver.
There wasn't just one person!
Gu Sisi panicked. She didn't know what these people wanted by tying her up.
Her wallet was still there. Since they didn't seem to want money or her body, Gu Sisi really didn't understand what their purpose was.
Sometimes, the scariest thing was when people had other motives instead of seeking money or sex.
"Sir, what do you want? I'll give you whatever you want. Please let me go, okay?"
After finding that struggling was useless, Gu Sisi changed her strategy and shouted loudly to attract the dozing man's attention.
But the man was obviously impatient.
"Stop shouting! Stop shouting! Don't disturb my sleep. Would you give me your life if I asked for it?!"
Gu Sisi was so scared that she choked. This man was really something.
The man still kept his eyes closed and his tone was very fierce, forcing Gu Sisi to be quiet for a while.
"Sir, please let me go. I can give you money. I have a baby at home. A few - month - old baby can't live without his mother!"
"Sir, please. As long as you let me go, I'll agree to anything. Please let me go back. You can see that I have nothing and can do nothing. It's useless to tie me up."
"Sir? Sir? Are you listening?"
The "sir" had a dark look on his face and was close to losing his temper, but Gu Sisi still didn't let up.
"Sir, just let me go. I'm not worth anything. You can't sell me. Sir?"
She successfully made the man sitting opposite unable to sleep. He suddenly stood up, stared at Gu Sisi with full - blown anger, as if it was about to burst out. Gu Sisi suddenly felt a little scared.
"Sir... sir, what are you going to do? Calm down, calm down. Let's talk this over... um"
Gu Sisi's words were suddenly blocked by an unknown object.
"Whew~"
The "sir" felt relieved. Finally, the world was quiet.
After glaring at Gu Sisi, this "sir" went back to doze off.
