Huafei was speechless.
If she were to refuse now, it would seem like she was trying to cover something up.
The only option is to find a way to shake him off halfway through.
Huo Beichen drove her away from the villa himself.
Not long after, she received a message from A-Yue, which contained only a question mark.
Ah Yue must have seen her leave with Huo Beichen and was quite puzzled.
She replied to the message: Everything as usual.
"Where do you want to go?" Huo Beichen asked.
She mentioned the name of a shopping mall.
Huo Beichen looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you suddenly decide to go shopping?"
“Shopping is my hobby,” Hua Fei replied casually. “I saw a few bags and clothes that I liked on my phone, so I wanted to come to the mall to see them in person.”
Actually, she was looking at the messages Sun Xiaowei sent on her phone.
Sun Xiaowei arranged to meet at a building.
That place is about 20 kilometers away from here.
Now, all she has to do is get rid of Huo Beichen.
After arriving at the mall, she started shopping.
Without even trying on the clothes, they randomly picked a few items and had the shop assistant pack them up.
Then Huo Beichen carried it.
Before long, Huo Beichen had already carried more than a dozen bags.
This feeling is quite peculiar.
She'd been with him for so many years, and this was the first time he'd ever carried her bags.
Unexpectedly, she and Huo Beichen had such a complicated relationship.
“You must be tired. Take a rest here for a while,” Hua Fei said as they passed the mall’s rest area. “I’m going to the restroom.”
She emphasized, "I really like all the things I bought today. Please keep an eye on them for me."
After saying that, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Although, if all goes well, this may be the last time they see each other.
"You..." Huo Beichen suddenly spoke up, asking, "Are you coming here to find me later?"
She glanced back at him and responded with a soft "Mmm".
She walked through the door leading to the restroom.
Many people were coming and going through this gate, and soon she was swallowed up by the crowd.
She turned around again, but the crowd blocked her view of Huo Beichen.
Therefore, Huo Beichen was certain that he could no longer see her.
She turned a corner and went through the door leading to the stairwell.
After descending the stairs to the first floor, I hurried towards the main entrance.
She didn't see at all that Huo Beichen was standing in front of the railing on the fifth-floor corridor, watching her departing figure clearly.
As Hua Fei crossed the plaza outside the shopping mall, a person dressed as a mascot walked towards her, holding a large handful of helium balloons.
"Would you like to buy a balloon for your child?" the other person asked, already placing a balloon in her hand.
A piece of paper was tied to the string at one end of the balloon.
She suddenly realized that this was someone arranged by A-Yue.
She immediately took out her phone and pretended to scan the QR code to pay.
As she walked, she quietly opened the note, which contained a license plate number.
Not long after she reached the roadside, a taxi with this license plate drove towards her.
She quickly waved to stop the taxi and got in.
The taxi started moving, and she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she had successfully shaken off Huo Beichen.
"Hello, I was sent by the young lady," the driver said to her.
"Thank you." Hua Fei nodded and told him her destination.
As he drove, he inquired about the building, his voice somewhat grave: "Dr. Hua, this is an unfinished building. You can't tell from the outside, but many floors inside are empty, and there aren't even any stairs."
“A place like this is bound to be full of traps.”
Hua Fei's gaze was firm: "Even if there are traps, we have to go through them."
"I must find my child."
The other party simply followed orders without saying anything more, and instead deployed personnel according to the building's layout.
Afterwards, he handed Hua Fei something the size of a fingernail. "This is the latest invisible earpiece. Put it in your ear, and we can hear you talking, and you can hear me talking too."
"We will stay in touch once you enter the building."
"Thank you," Hua Fei said, feeling even more confident. "You guys are very professional, it's like watching a movie."
"This is a professional team that the young lady specifically asked me to find," the other party replied.
I see.
A dozen minutes later, they arrived near their destination.
Hua Fei's phone suddenly rang; it was Sun Xiaowei calling.
"Did you come alone?" Sun Xiaowei asked coldly.
“Yes,” Hua Fei replied.
The car stopped about 500 meters away; beyond that, it was within Sun Xiaowei's field of vision.
"Dr. Hua, you don't need to worry. We've always had people here."
Huafei is neither worried nor afraid.
She has traveled a long way and faced many dangers in order to find this child.
She walked into the building.
The building was indeed empty; as far as the eye could see, there were only concrete walls and a thick layer of dust.
She took out her phone and called Sun Xiaowei: "I'm here. Where is the child?"
“Come upstairs, to the fifth floor,” Sun Xiaowei replied.
She walked up the stairs step by step.
The earphone hidden in her ear kept emitting a faint "magnetic" sound, indicating that her signal was always connected to A-Yue's.
She arrived on the 5th floor and suddenly heard a piercing alarm sound.
She immediately noticed a small red light-like object on the wall that was constantly flashing, and the piercing alarm sound was coming from it.
"What did you bring?" Sun Xiaowei's voice came through the phone. "A listening device, or a real-time transmission earpiece?"
Huafei couldn't say that they didn't bring anything.
She can't fool the instruments; they can easily detect whether she has any metal on her body.
She simply took off her headphones and tossed them aside.
The alarm stopped abruptly.
"Dr. Hua? Dr. Hua?" The signal suddenly went dead.
Ah Yue's men exchanged glances, realizing that something was wrong.
"It seems the other side was prepared as well."
"what to do?"
"Report the situation to the young lady immediately."
A-Yue put down the phone, her expression grave.
She had to make a decision immediately, otherwise Huafei's safety would be in jeopardy.
She thought for a moment and was about to call Gu Fanyan when she heard a rapid engine sound coming from the garden.
She recognized the car that arrived; it belonged to Gu Fanyan.
"Miss Gu?" She greeted her from the villa, both puzzled and excited. "Why are you here?"
"Ah Yue, tell me quickly," Gu Fanyan walked up to Ah Yue and asked, "Where did Hua Fei go?"
"Miss Gu, you've come at just the right time. Please save Hua Fei."
She explained what had happened.
Gu Fanyan frowned: "What were you thinking? How could you let her go to see Sun Xiaowei alone?"
A-Yue bit her lip: "Isn't Sun Xiaowei the one who wants to be with Huo Beichen the most? All she has to do is hand over the child."
“Have you ever thought,” Gu Fanyan retorted, “that after she pushed Hua Fei and the child off the building to their deaths, no one can stop her anymore?”
A-Yue's heart sank.
Gu Fanyan continued, "Do you think people can't be that cruel?"
"This is the information my people just found out. Take a look for yourself."
