Looking into the little girl's pitiful eyes, Charles suddenly had the thought that he was truly wicked. How could he let such a cute child go hungry?
"I'm so sorry, my dear, there really isn't any!" Charles said, full of remorse.
Qiqi couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly!
Ugh, that's disgusting!
Who is your dear baby? I am clearly my mom and dad's dear baby!
You big bad guy, stay away from me!
However, Qiqi looked even more aggrieved, and tears welled up in her big, dark eyes.
But in the end, she held back and obediently nodded, "Okay then, uncle, can I open the window a little? I tend to get carsick when I'm hungry!"
Charles hesitated!
If he hadn't witnessed the little girl's miraculous transformation into a crane before, he naturally wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have let her open it immediately.
But now, he was a little worried that this little girl might be trying to send a message to someone by opening the window!
Seeing that he didn't speak, the little girl pouted and tears fell down her cheeks.
That pitiful little thing instantly melted the hearts of the ruthless mercenaries in the carriage.
I almost couldn't help but yell at Charles, "Let her drive!"
Fortunately, he remembered his identity and responsibilities at the crucial moment and didn't actually shout it out.
But even Charles couldn't handle it; the adorable little dumpling's crying melted his heart.
He softened his tone, "You can open the window, but you can't do anything else!"
Upon hearing his agreement, the little girl instantly stopped crying and started smiling.
Then, blinking her big, innocent eyes, she asked, "Is it okay to stick my head and hands out of the window? Don't worry, Uncle, my second brother taught me that it's dangerous! So don't worry, I won't do that!"
Then she turned her head and carefully rolled down the car window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and her whole face became lively because of that breath.
Charles kept a close eye on Qiqi's every move. Seeing that the little girl had only opened the car window to let the wind in and hadn't done anything else, he couldn't help but feel that he was being a bit of a worrywart!
She's just a naive young girl who doesn't even know she's been kidnapped, so how could she possibly think of sending a message to the outside world?
Little did they know, Qiqi, pressed against the car door, had already secretly taken out a talisman from her bag and torn it into the shape of a paper figure with her small hand hidden by her body.
I put eyes on the paper figure, infused it with spiritual energy, and then attached an invisibility talisman to it.
The little paper figure rubbed against her hand before swaggering out the open window.
Then, stretching out their arms, the paper glides in the wind, heading in the direction instructed by its master to deliver the message.
As the car veered further and further off course, Charles thought Qiqi would definitely ask him a few questions, but to his surprise, the little girl outside the window remained silent, as if she truly trusted him completely!
This innocent little girl was exactly the kind of girl he liked best, but for some reason, Charles suddenly felt a pang of pity.
It's a real shame to kill such a well-behaved little girl.
Why don't we stop using her to test those new poisons and try something else instead?
As Charles was making his own calculations, Qiqi suddenly turned around and glanced at him.
Seeing the scheming in his eyes, Qiqi snorted coldly in her heart!
Just you wait, you big bad guy! If I don't wipe out your whole place this time, I'll change my surname to yours!
***
While Qiqi was outwitting Charles, Huo Yusen and the Ji family were extremely anxious and frustrated!
Because the police haven't made any progress.
After Charles and his group left the restaurant, they changed cars several times along the way. The surveillance cameras captured them three times, but when they caught up with the third car, they found that there was only a driver inside, and Charles and Qiqi were not there at all.
They just vanished into thin air!
In the Ji family home, in Huo Yusen's bedroom.
"Uncle Zheng, thank you for your help! No matter what, you must find Qiqi as soon as possible! She is really important to me!" Huo Yusen said to the other end of the phone with his back to the door and a cold expression.
On the other end of the phone, a deep, gruff voice rang out, "I heard from your grandma that that little girl can cure your leg! Don't worry, Uncle Zheng will definitely find her!"
Huo Yusen wanted to say that Qiqi was not just someone who could heal his leg, but someone more important to him than his own life!
But he was still too weak. He worried that if his rivals and enemies, who were lurking in the shadows, knew how much he cared for the girl, they might try to take advantage of her.
Because of her own abilities, Qiqi was already facing countless troubles in the future, and he didn't want to add to her worries because of his family situation!
For the first time in his life, Huo Yusen felt a strong desire to become stronger.
Unbeknownst to him, the instant this thought arose, a strange black vortex appeared in his left pupil.
The vortex resembled a well, from which black gas gushed forth.
The wisps of black energy seeped into his body, nourishing the desire in his heart and making him yearn for power and to become stronger.
Gradually, his expression became distorted, and he made a "hoarse" sound in his throat.
The person on the other end of the phone heard this and frowned anxiously, asking, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
The deep voice, like muffled thunder, startled Huo Yusen awake.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he was covered in sweat.
Recalling everything that had just happened, Huo Yusen felt a chill run down his spine, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"I'm fine, Uncle Zheng, I'm counting on you for Qiqi!"
After saying that, Huo Yusen hung up the phone in a somewhat flustered manner.
He slumped in his wheelchair, panting heavily.
Cold sweat poured out, quickly soaking his clothes and making him look as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Something's wrong, something's really wrong with his body!
"Huo Fei!"
Upon hearing the young master's voice, Huo Fei immediately pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Huo Yusen's pale face and profuse sweating, his expression immediately changed.
"Young Master, I'll take you to the hospital right away!" she said, reaching out to hug him.
Huo Yusen grabbed his wrist. At this moment, his vision was blacking out, and he was so dizzy and weak that he could hardly speak.
But she still forced herself to say, "Don't...don't alarm the Ji family. And...we must find Qiqi!"
After saying that, everything went black, and he collapsed into Huo Fei's arms, completely losing consciousness!
"Young Master!" Huo Fei roared uncontrollably, immediately scooped him up in his arms, and jumped out of the window.
Cleverly avoiding the Ji family's surveillance and bodyguards, they drove straight to the hospital!
