Chapter 169 House Arrest
Jian Mo closed her eyes, feeling the pain of being deceived. She rested her head on her arm and said, "Go out."
After being depressed for two days, Huo Qichen did not return to Mingyuan. She was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for herself. She felt that she was pushing herself too hard. Perhaps she needed to find her true self.
She booked a ticket for a trip north.
But I didn't leave.
Late at night, the Haicheng Airport was still bustling with people. Jian Mo was detained for no reason during security check, which attracted the attention of many people.
The airport staff who rushed over was extremely apologetic and spoke with some embarrassment, "Excuse me, is this Miss Jane?"
In the middle of the night, he was called over by his superiors with a series of life-threatening calls. He thought that a major case that would not happen in a decade had occurred, but when he arrived, he found out that they were just arresting a woman.
Jian Mo was indifferent.
“Miss Jane, we might be offended.”
The light in her clear eyes slowly faded, and she said, "What if I must leave?"
Must leave? Could he stop her? Of course he would.
The higher-ups are so anxious, which shows that the person Miss Jane offended is of a high status and the trouble she caused is probably quite serious.
Jian Mo clenched the boarding number in her hand. When she didn't hear the answer, she was silent for a moment, then turned around and left.
When she arrived outside the airport, she looked up and suddenly saw a silent G-Class heading straight towards her. The speed of the car was so fast that it seemed like it was going to go all out. Jian Mo was caught off guard and stood still, unable to move, just watching the car crash into her.
She only knew one person who dared to drive at such a speed.
The car approached from a distance in just ten seconds. No one knew what Jian Mo was thinking in those ten seconds.
Just when the G-Class was about to hit Jian Mo, the person in the driver's seat slammed on the brakes, and the wheels and the floor made a harsh and sharp friction sound that hit people's eardrums.
The oncoming wind blew Jian Mo's long hair, and she inevitably closed her eyes.
The distance between her and the car was only twenty centimeters. If the other party had braked a second slower, she would most likely have died at this moment.
Jian Mo suppressed the trembling in her body, opened her eyes, and met the pair of dark and calm eyes in the driver's seat.
The headlights of the G-Class are so bright that they make people cry.
She stood in the light in a panic, with nowhere to hide.
Jian Mo was placed under house arrest.
This was Huo Qichen's method. He was a man who was particular about doing things without leaking a single drop of water. And when he was determined to do something, there was no chance of the slightest mistake.
For example, now.
The house is still the same house, the people are still the same people, but you can clearly feel that the way they get along is different.
Jian Mo showed absolute indifference for the first time. She cooperated with everything except talking to others.
However, the servants of Mingyuan could see that Jian Mo seemed to be really tired of everything, like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
This is not a good sign.
"Madam, you should eat something at least. It's been a whole day. Eating so little is not good for your health." Ju Ma stood respectfully beside Jian Mo and persuaded her earnestly: "Look, this is what I made specially for you."
Jian Mo was sitting on the balcony in a daze. She was wrapped in a thin blanket and looked at the car approaching downstairs with an expressionless face. The car was driving slowly, no longer as domineering as she was that day.
She still remembered the strength the man used when he dragged her into the car. If he had used a little more force, she could have been strangled to death.
Haicheng has never lacked luxury cars, and even more so, rich young men. However, due to concerns about their family's reputation, few people dare to be as unscrupulous as Huo Qichen. An entire highway was closed. He drove like he was driving a rocket, and he was really fierce.
Jian Mo's face was pale. She felt the speed of the car. She held the seat belt tightly with her hands and clenched her teeth to prevent herself from shouting.
The car finally stopped in Ming Garden. Jian Mo suppressed the urge to vomit and looked at him with gritted teeth, not without hatred: "Huo Qichen, this is all you are capable of."
He was truly furious. He pinched her chin and raised his head. "Normally, I wouldn't value a life, but you're still Mrs. Huo. We're not divorced yet, and I don't want to be labeled a young widow. It's embarrassing."
He spoke quickly and hurriedly, as if he was eager to escape from something.
Jian Mo's eyes were full of strangeness when she confronted him. After a while, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped the man's face with all her strength.
Huo Qichen didn't even try to dodge. His face tilted slightly when he was hit. When he looked up again, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip. He looked sexy and sinister at the same time. He didn't hesitate, got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and dragged her out of the car. He threw her to the servants outside with disgust, "Keep an eye on her."
This is a death order.
He drove away in a cloud of dust, his movements graceful and smooth, without any drag.
The tears that Jian Mo had been holding back for a long time fell instantly after he left. She broke free from the shackles, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears uncontrollably, regardless of her image.
These days, Huo Qi Chen would still return to Mingyuan. His daily routine and schedule were exactly the same as before, but he had never set foot in this building. Even a dumb person could see that this time, Huo Qi Chen and Jian Mo were definitely not just having an ordinary quarrel.
In the early hours of the night, Jian Mo couldn't fall asleep. She suffered from insomnia.
When it began to drizzle outside, Jian Mo finally fell into a light sleep. At this moment, her cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, and the "buzzing" sound was particularly scary in the dark.
Jian Mo picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
Who would call her in the middle of the night?
Jian Mo's fingers were hanging on it, not knowing whether to connect it or not. It was like Pandora's box, she didn't know what would come out if she connected it.
After vibrating for a while, the call finally ended.
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and just put the phone back when it suddenly rang again. She was so scared that her hands started shaking and her heart was pounding.
The number kept buzzing for nearly half an hour. Jian Mo watched from afar, unsure why she didn't answer. The other party was also persistent. Jian Mo was flustered by the noise and grabbed it at the last moment, "Who is it?"
She was really scared.
What frightened her even more was that the phone was deadly quiet, without a sound. Jian Mo asked again with a trembling voice, but it was still the same.
The phone was hung up.
…
What Huo Qichen meant was that if you want to continue working, you can, but if you want to leave Haicheng, there is no way.
Jian Mo was depressed in Mingyuan for a few days. Thinking of the unfinished work, she finally washed her face and went to Huo's.
As expected, Qingying didn't come to work. Xiao Chen said that she had something to do at home.
What could be the problem? It's just that I don't dare to face her.
Jian Mo didn't care. It seemed that the plagiarism scandal she was involved in had not been exposed yet. The organizing committee of the competition handled it very well, and no one knew that such an incident had happened between her and Song Ke.
Huo Qichen has always been very careful in what he does.
