At this moment, Huo Sicheng, who had been in a meeting for a few hours, returned to his office.
As night fell, he came to the window and looked down at half of Jiang City.
Under the neon lights, Jiang City was mesmerizing, but his heart was in a mess.
Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze must be very happy now.
Or rather, Qi Shaoze was laughing at him with Gu Qingcheng by his side.
He also wanted to get rid of Qi Shaoze.
However, Qi Shaoze knew that Gu Qingcheng was his weakness. If he killed Qi Shaoze, Gu Qingcheng would hate him for the rest of her life.
He could not touch Qi Shaoze, so he could only endure it.
“You’re really not loyal,” he said in a low and hoarse voice, “You flirt with women everywhere.”
Chu Yu walked into the president’s office and sighed silently as he looked at President Huo’s lonely figure.
“President Huo, give Madam a call,” he pleaded, “Madam isn’t an unreasonable person. If you lower your head and coax Madam, she will definitely return to your side happily.”
Chu Yu’s voice made Huo Sicheng’s narrow eyes filled with bitterness. He had tried to call Gu Qingcheng, but not only had she not picked up, Qi Shaoze had picked up his call. Qi Shaoze had taunted and provoked him.
Seeing that Huo Sicheng was unmoved, Chu Yu pleaded again, “President Huo, why don’t you give Madam a call, or I’ll contact Madam and tell her to book a restaurant for dinner together?”
When Huo Sicheng heard Chu Yu’s words, he said in a deep voice, “Don’t contact her.”
“I won’t contact Madam,” Chu Yu pleaded, “Then you can contact her, President Huo. If it really doesn’t work, let Little Master contact her. I remember the last time Madam smashed the living room in the villa, she immediately lost her temper as soon as Little Master arrived. President Huo, what do you think?”
Huo Sicheng spat out two words coldly. “Get out.”
Chu Yu had a lot of words to persuade President Huo, but in the end, he swallowed them and could only leave.
Huo Si sat by the window and looked at the night view of Jiang City. After a long time, he raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his wrist. His slender fingers gently rubbed the watch. Finally, he took it off and looked at the custom-made words on it. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The next moment, he slowly put on his wristwatch. The image of Gu Qingcheng watching him unwrap the gift box and her nervous expression, as if she was worried that he wouldn’t like the present, appeared in his mind. It was so adorable. Especially when she gave him the watch and smiled coquettishly, his heart was filled with warmth when he thought of it. This warmth brushed away some of the sourness of jealousy.
“Gu Qingcheng,” he whispered, “how long do you want me to wait for you to be faithful to me?”
But Gu Qingcheng, who wasn’t in front of him, couldn’t answer his question.
At this moment, far away in the Gu family’s villa, Gu Mei, who was lying on the bed half-dead, received a text message. When she saw the photo in the text message, her face was filled with madness. She quickly made a call.
The killer on the other end of the phone asked Gu Mei first, “Miss Gu, do you want to kill her now?”
“I’ll change your order. Let this little bastard live first,” Gu Mei’s expression was bloodthirsty and crazy. “I’ve finally caught this little monster. Don’t kill him. When I get there, I’ll kill this bastard myself!”
She had ordered her men to kill Huo Xuan, but after being tortured by Gu Tianhao, she knew that Gu Qingcheng was the one who had caused her to be tortured. This made her change her mind. She wouldn’t let the killer kill Huo Xuan. She wanted to kill the little bastard herself, take photos, and send videos to Gu Qingcheng. She wanted to see Gu Qingcheng in pain and despair!
“Alright.”
Gu Mei dragged her broken body and sat in a wheelchair. She avoided everyone and quietly left the villa.
“Drive faster,” she urged her personal chauffeur. “Faster!”
“Yes, Miss.”
At the same time, Huo Xuan, who had been knocked unconscious and kidnapped by the killer, woke up. He realized that he was tied up with ropes and looked at the dilapidated houses around him. He panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. His gaze fell on the tall man standing at the door.
“Uncle, I’m thirsty,” a tender voice sounded. The killer looked at Huo Xuan with a fierce look. In his eyes, Huo Xuan was looking at him with her big black eyes. She was not afraid at all. Instead, she was very calm. He was a little surprised that a child could be so calm when he was about to die.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“I’m not afraid of Uncle,” Huo Xuan smiled sweetly. “Uncle, you must have had your difficulties kidnapping me. I can understand you. Besides, I’m tied up here by my uncle. I’m still a child. I can’t escape. Instead of being afraid of Uncle, it was better to face Uncle calmly.”
The killer narrowed his eyes. “The little guy looks like a little monster. I didn’t expect him to be so eloquent.”
“Uncle, can I have some water?” Huo Xuan asked again. “I’m thirsty.”
The killer said straightforwardly, “There’s no water.”
“Is that so…” Huo Xuan looked disappointed. “The food at school was so salty this afternoon. I didn’t even have time to drink water before I was tied up here by Uncle. However, I can understand why Uncle didn’t bring water. Who would bring water when kidnapping? It looks like I’m going to die of thirst.’
The killer ignored Huo Xuan.
“If I die of thirst, I’m sure Uncle won’t be able to receive the ransom, right?” Huo Xuan continued to ask the killer.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die of thirst,” the killer looked at Huo Xuan, who was as white as an angel, with a trace of pity in his eyes. He said ruthlessly,
“Someone will come to kill you in a while. Even the ransom will be waived.” Huo Xuan’s already pale face turned even paler, as if it would disappear at any moment.
“Kill me? Why do you want to kill me?”
When he thought of meeting his parents in death, his heart was filled with fear and dread. However, he remembered that his mother told him to be brave. He forced himself to look at the killer with determination. Who wanted to kill him?
“I don’t know the reason. I’m just an assassin who takes money to eliminate disasters.”
“So you took the money.” A scheming look flashed across Huo Xuan’s eyes.
“How much will the person who killed me pay for my life?”
“Twenty million.”
“Fifty million?” The killer laughed. “Kid, you still want to bargain with me? Look at the school you’re studying in. It’s just a group of ordinary people. You can’t find anyone worth five million yuan in the entire school. Moreover, the children of the rich all went to private schools for the rich. You went to a public school and asked for 50 million? You sold your entire family for more than five million, and you still shamelessly said fifty million.”
“You don’t have to sell my entire family. I can make a phone call and you’ll get 50 million,” Huo Xuan didn’t care about the contempt in the killer’s eyes and words. “Uncle Killer, believe me. I can really give you 50 million.”
The killer laughed mockingly. “I told you to call the police? Do you think I’m stupid?”
“No, no, no. Uncle is not stupid. Uncle is very smart,” Huo Xuan shook her little head. “I’ll give you my number. You can make the call and ask for the money. If you can’t get the 50 million, hand me over to the person who paid you 20 million to kill me.”
The killer thought for a moment and asked Huo Xuan, “Kid, who do you want to call?”
