My Youth Began With Him

“She’s really outgoing, arrogant and domineering… She missed you, a lot.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Mian felt a rush of complicated emotions; she still had blood-related family on this earth. They had been there all along, and they know her existence…

What an amazing feeling that was…

“Mian…”

“Mhm?” Huo Mian looked up at Qin Chu.

“I’ll help you reunite with Lu Yan and Professor Lu one day, but now’s not a good time. What I’m about to tell you right now is how Huo Siqian managed to blackmail me into divorcing you four years ago.”

“Okay.” Huo Mian nodded; she knew Qin Chu’s words always had a reason.

“Ian is the head of the terrorist organization IOS, the most powerful terrorist organization in the world. He’s extremely violent and kills people without blinking. Moreover, he’s ambitious and has been causing havoc for years, making billions and billions from suffering countries. He’s been wanting to kidnap Professor Lu because the latter had developed a bioweapon that’s incredibly powerful. With Professor Lu’s weapon, Ian would be able to conquer an entire country without even deploying troops. Over the last few years, he’s been hunting your father… Your sister learned to protect herself at a young age, and she often travels the world alone. She’s been hiding from Ian as well… Ian’s family’s really powerful, and his younger brother, Nalo, is the Godfather of Germany’s most powerful mafia who’s capable of doing anything. The reason Huo Siqian knows so much about you because during his six years in Germany, he was close with Nalo… and often came across Ian.”

“You’re saying that Huo Siqian knows that psychotic terrorist?” Huo Mian asked, surprised by what she heard.

“Not only does he know him, he’s actually in his inner circle… That’s how he found out about your real family. The truth is, I kind of want to thank him.”

“Thank him?” Upon hearing those words, Huo Mian was totally confused.

“Yeah, I need to thank him. if he didn’t keep your identity a secret, you would’ve been exposed years ago. You should know that Ian’s been searching for you for years…”

“Searching for me? He knows about my existence?” Huo Mian was dumbfounded. What in the world was going on here?

“He knows that Professor Lu has another daughter in China, but he never found you. Huo Siqian must’ve done something, or else a person like Ian wouldn’t leave you unscathed for so long.”

“Doesn’t Ian suspect Huo Siqian for not finding me?”

“That’s why he’s good at what he does, his relationship with Ian and his men is complicated… Anyways, Professor Lu and Lu Yan didn’t come looking for you because they didn’t want people to find out where they were, which will cause your identity to be revealed. You’re not used to running for your life like Lu Yan, who basically lives her life on the edge at all times. Once Ian finds out who you are, you’ll be in grave danger.”

“So that was why… I finally understand now.”

Qin Chu answered all the questions in Huo Mian’s mind. When Huo Siqian threatened him with her identity, he knew that if revealed, Ian will immediately come looking for her, leaving Huo Mian with no exit strategy. No wonder Qin Chu was so scared.

“But don’t worry, once I take care of Huo Siqian, I’ll think of a way to defeat Ian. Remember, I’ll never let anyone on this earth hurt or threaten you, and I’ll make sure you reunite with your family. I will fulfill your wish,” Qin Chu said in all seriousness.
