Jiang Xiaowei was shocked and looked at the driver, unable to believe his audacious idea.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
The driver shook his head: "I don't plan to do anything. I'll take you home now so you can take a hot shower and get some rest."
He had completely calmed down.
I've already planned out everything in my mind.
Feeling relaxed, he drove towards the Jiang family's residence.
At 3 PM, it's Zeze's time to practice horseback riding.
After Zeze fell ill, Huo Beichen reduced his studies considerably.
But Zeze likes horseback riding, so this option was left out.
The coach arrived at the Huo family's house half an hour early. The spacious lawn in the villa area was located at the foot of the mountain, making it an excellent place for children to practice horseback riding.
"The coach is here early today." The driver passed by the door, and the coach was inside checking the various protective gear that Zeze would use when riding a horse.
The coach smiled slightly.
The driver came in, filled two cups with water from the indoor water dispenser, gave one to the instructor, and kept the other for himself.
"Coach, a relative's child also wants to learn how to ride a horse. Could you ask me to inquire about the price?"
“Just like Zeze,” the coach replied.
The driver chuckled, "We're old acquaintances, can't you give me a discount?"
The instructor laughed and said, "Sure, but at most a 5% discount. You know, teaching kids to ride horses is a lot of work."
As he spoke, the coach picked up his water glass and drank most of it.
Take checking safety equipment, for example; it has to be done every day.
Although it can be tedious and boring, it's no joke if something actually happens to a child while riding a horse.
“Okay, okay,” the driver nodded. “I’ll discuss it with my relatives.”
Zeze is a quick learner and an obedient child.
The coach is quite easy to teach him, but today the coach himself is a bit of a worry, as he suddenly had a severe stomachache.
It hurts like I ate something wrong.
"Zeze, get off the horse first. I need to go to the restroom." The coach didn't dare to take any risks, so he endured the pain and carried Zeze off the horse before quickly running to the restroom.
Zeze was having a great time riding when he grabbed the reins with both hands and pushed off with both feet, and he was back on the horse.
He knew the coach was acting in his safety's best interest.
But he's been learning for two years, so galloping on horseback isn't a problem for him.
He then patted the horse and started running around the grassland.
Suddenly, a loud whistle rang out from somewhere.
The horse trembled and immediately ran uncontrollably toward the whistle.
"Little Ben, stop, Little Ben..." Zeze called out the horse's name urgently.
However, the whistle blew again from the other side.
After that, whistles sounded again from two directions.
The horse was completely terrified, lost its way, and became extremely excited, galloping forward wildly, ignoring Zeze's cries.
The place was at the foot of the mountain, some distance from the residents of the villa area, and Zeze's shouts did not attract anyone's attention.
The horse ran further and further away, and Zeze's little figure gradually disappeared from sight.
"Why!"
In the treatment room, Hua Fei had just given the patient an injection.
The patient cried out in pain.
Hua Fei then realized that she had been distracted while receiving the acupuncture.
"Does Dr. Hua have something on her mind today?" the patient asked.
Huo Beichen had promised her that he wouldn't restrict her from treating other patients, so besides Zeze, she had several other patients under her care.
"No," Hua Fei replied. With another acupuncture, the patient felt little pain.
“Dr. Hua’s skills are still there, so he must be troubled by something,” the patient said again.
Hua Fei sighed softly.
If she had something on her mind, she did have one.
That was Huo Beichen's agreement (provocation) for tonight.
She couldn't figure out what he was up to.
But I had no choice but to go.
If he reacts like he did in the study last time, how should she deal with it?
We can't possibly give him two more injections!
Let's focus on treating the patient first!
The riding instructor squatted in the restroom for half an hour before finally feeling a bit better.
He originally planned to go to Huafei for two injections to relieve the pain, but now he feels okay.
However, when he returned to the training ground, he was immediately taken aback.
The vast grassland was empty; there were neither horses nor people in sight.
"Zeze, Zeze, Xiaoben, Xiaoben..." He paced around anxiously.
"Coach." At that moment, the butler hurried over.
"Butler!" The coach strode up to the butler. "Young Master Zeze..."
The butler nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo needs to see the young master, so he had the driver pick him up."
I see.
The head coach breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a false alarm, and there's good news: I can leave work early today.
In the evening, Huo Beichen returned to the villa.
"Where is Zeze?" He asked as he entered the villa and saw the driver.
"The equestrian club had an event today, and the coach took Zeze to participate," the driver replied.
Huo Beichen frowned: "He didn't inform me."
“He asked me to tell you,” the driver said, “I heard that the club has invited a world equestrian champion, and Zeze insisted on going as soon as he heard that, and even told the coach not to tell you.”
Huo Beichen sighed helplessly, "Zeze always thinks I'll restrict him."
Despite his frustration, he was also delighted by Zeze's cleverness.
Speaking of this cleverness, he couldn't help but think of that woman... Zeze's biological mother, wasn't she also good at hiding her true intentions and manipulating people's hearts?
Lately, he keeps thinking about Sheng Nanyin.
He shook off these thoughts and went up to the second floor.
A moment later, the butler came over upon hearing the noise.
"Butler," the driver greeted him.
"Is that Mr. Huo returning?" the butler asked. "Did the young master come back with him?"
The driver shook his head: "Mr. Huo said that an assistant took Zeze to the amusement park."
The butler looked puzzled.
The driver lowered his voice and said, "Zeze and Miss Jiang have a tense relationship. President Huo is already having a headache over this. For now, don't bother President Huo with Zeze's matter."
The butler thought it made sense and nodded.
A cold smile flickered across the driver's lips.
When you see Zeze again... no, if nothing unexpected happens, you will never see Zeze again.
As the driver stepped out of the villa, his phone suddenly rang; it was a familiar yet unfamiliar number.
"What's going on?" the driver asked.
"We chased him to a steep slope, and he went crazy and slid down it."
“The steep slope was full of trees and rocks. We found some fresh bloodstains, but we haven’t found the person yet.”
"But with such a steep slope, he's definitely dead."
The driver coldly retorted, "Nonsense! You won't get a second payment until you see the body!"
He hung up the phone and glanced back at the villa.
He lied to both sides, which at least guarantees that no one will be looking for Zeze's whereabouts in the next few hours.
He got into the car without hesitation and drove away.
The sun gradually sets in the west.
The aroma of roasted chicken wafted from the villa's kitchen.
The nanny took the roast chicken out of the oven, sprinkled it with black pepper and chopped parsley, and the aroma instantly filled the air.
“This is the young master’s favorite food,” the nanny murmured. “It makes him feel better.”
The butler happened to be passing by the kitchen and stopped to say, "Young Master went to the amusement park and won't be having dinner at home tonight."
The nanny was taken aback: "This is what he specifically asked for, why did he go to the amusement park?"
