Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The noise in the background grew louder and louder, until she could no longer hear clearly. After a while, the call disconnected automatically, and she was greeted by the ”beep beep beep” of a busy signal.

Che Huan sat there, suddenly finding it difficult to breathe; the ”beep beep beep” sound stabbing her heart like a sharp awl.

What had happened on his end?

He, he should be alright, shouldn’t he?

She subconsciously clenched her phone, her palm quickly becoming damp with sweat.

After a moment, Che Huan quickly opened her phone’s GPS tracker and saw his location, which wasn’t in Hong Kong, but in Winter City.

Winter City? That’s far from Hong Kong. What was he doing in Winter City?

At this moment, she couldn’t afford to worry about whether it was inconvenient for him or not; without a hint of hesitation, she dialed his number directly.

One ring, two rings, three rings...

She counted all the way to ten rings, but no one answered the call.

Until the automated message ”The number you have dialed is currently unavailable” came on and the call ended, Che Huan could still hear her heart thumping.

Coming back to her senses, she tried calling Huo Bei’s phone only to encounter the same result: no answer, and the call ended automatically, her entire body turning cold in an instant.

The little guy also sensed the abnormality in Che Huan’s breathing, looked back at her, and noticed the color of her face, as pale as a sheet of paper!

He furrowed his brow, reached out to grasp Che Huan’s hand, felt the coldness, and pursed his lips, ”Huanhuan, what’s wrong?”

Che Huan asked absently, ”Does your father often go to Winter City?”

The little guy nodded, ”Not very often, but he does go. Why?”

Seeing that the little guy also didn’t know anything and remembering the phone call he had had with Qin Shaojin in the morning, she guessed they must have met.

She lowered her head, holding the phone, and dialed Qin Shaojin’s number, the lawyer.

One ring, two rings, three rings...

Again a long wait, every second becoming unbearably slow, and the result was the same in the end! No one answered, and the call disconnected automatically.

At this time, whom should she trust?

Whom should she seek help from?

There was not a single trustworthy person in the Huo Family!

Instinctively, she thought of Qin Moting and hesitated for a moment, biting her lip. In times like these, could he be relied upon?

After pausing for a while, she quickly called Wen Hua, ”Uncle, I want to know if Qin Moting and Jinnan have any kind of grudge?

Wen Hua noticed something was wrong with her breath, which was all over the place, ”Huanhuan, what’s the matter?”

Che Huan took a deep breath, ”He left early this morning and hasn’t returned yet. Just now I received a call from Huo Bei, and it was very noisy on the other end. I only heard him say that ’the gentleman here has encountered some issues,’ and then the call cut off. I checked the GPS, and he’s in Winter City.”

Winter City?

Wen Hua paused, remembering Xiaoru saying that Qichang had served many years in the army before retiring. Why would he suddenly return to Winter City?

Then, recalling that Huo Qichang was in the Dongcheng Military Region and that the old man of the Huo Family had also been in Winter City, he realized Winter City was indeed the Huo Family’s old base.

He firmly said, ”Huanhuan, don’t panic, wait for him to call you back.”

”...” Che Huan did not respond, how could she not panic!

After a good while, she repeated, ”Uncle, can Qin Moting be trusted?”

Thinking back to the time when Qin Moting stood by and did not save the Wen Family, but also remembering that at a critical moment, it was thanks to Qin Moting that Xiaoru and he were able to save their lives! And that he had been able to safely stay in Hong Kong, however, they had never met again afterward, and soon after he heard about Qin Moting’s marriage to Huo Jinyun.

Reflecting on it made him realize that he no longer understood Qin Moting as a man.

”Uncle.”

Hearing Che Huan’s voice, Wen Hua snapped back to reality, ”Huanhuan, Qin Moting and Jinnan probably don’t have any grudge, but Winter City, you absolutely cannot go there!”
