My Youth Began With Him

Zeng Rou obviously saw Huo Mian too after Huo Mian called her name.

Zeng Rou was so shocked that she tossed the potato away.

“Huo… Huo Mian?” Zeng Rou asked with surprise.

“Zeng Rou, it’s really you?!”

Huo Mian was rather excited to see a familiar face here so she rushed over.

“Yeah. Why are you here?”

Zeng Rou looked around and realized Huo Mian was all alone.

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.” Huo Mian didn’t tell her how she came as she didn’t know if she was actually safe.

“Me and a few friends were hiking at a nearby mountain earlier. Then we went to a farm where you could pick fruits. It was getting late so we thought we would stay at Auntie Guihua’s place for the night.”

“You know the owner of this house?”

“Yeah. Auntie Guihua was a nanny for a friend. My friend and I are family friends. My friend wanted to visit Auntie Guihua while the rest of us wanted to eat dishes from the rural parts so we decided we’ll come here for the night.”

Huo Mian only believed half of what Zeng Rou said, although she did see that SUV by the house.

However, Zeng Rou was such a coincidence Zeng Rou appeared here.

Was she connected to the person that wanted to buy her in a hefty sum?

“What’s the matter, Huo Mian?”

“Oh, nothing much. Zeng Rou, can I borrow your phone?”

“Yeah.”

Without hesitation, Zeng Rou gave her phone to Huo Mian.

Huo Mian used Zeng Rou’s phone to call Qin Chu.

Huo Mian went to an isolated corner. The phone rang three times and Qin Chu picked up. With his deep melodious voice, he said, “Hello?”

“Honey, it’s me.”

“Mian? Where are you? Did you get hurt? How are you?” Qin Chu was worried sick.

“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me. Listen to me carefully. I’m at a village near Kaoshan Town. I think it’s called Sunset village.”

“I’m only 30 minutes away from Kaoshan Town. Wait for me there.”

“No, you can’t enter the village no matter what.”

“Why?”

“I don’t have time to explain. Honey, you should stop driving right now and send your location to this phone. I’ll come to find you.”

“No. Don’t worry and I’ll come to pick you up.” Qin Chu had made up his mind that he would pick Huo Mian up.

“Honey I’m fine. I’m with Zeng Rou.”

“Zeng Rou?” Qin Chu said with surprise.

“I’ll explain to you later. Hurry up and send me your location and I’ll come to find you. We must leave here as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Qin Chu had faith in Huo Mian and her plan so he did as she said. He parked at a nearby place and sent her his location.

After she received her husband’s location, Huo Mian whispered to Zeng Rou, “Can I borrow your car. I’m going to find my husband. When we get home, I’ll have someone drive the car back. Of course, you guys can come with me too.”

“Why? It’s already late. What’s the rush?” Zeng Rou did not understand.

Huo Mian looked closely at Zeng Rou’s eyes and didn’t find any signs that she knew what was happening to her.

“Someone wants to capture me so I must leave here now.” Huo Mian tried to keep her voice low.

“What? Capture you?” Zeng Rou was even more surprised.

“I don’t have time. We must leave now,” Huo Mian said as she pointed to her car.

Huo Mian had called Qin Chu using Zeng Rou’s phone. If Zeng Rou was plotting against her, Qin Chu would never forgive Zeng Rou. That was why Huo Mian decided to take the risk: she would take Zeng Rou’s car and leave this place.

“Okay. Let’s go now. I’ll call my friends.”

Then, Zeng Rou entered the house and called the two girls she came with to leave.

“I’ll drive. I drive fast,” Huo Mian requested.
