Chapter 482: Appearing to Provoke
"Lin Yilan, what's going on in your head?" Huo Juncheng opened his arms and gently held Lin Yilan in his arms.
Lin Yilan pressed herself against his chest, listening to the beat of his heart.
At that moment, their shadows overlapped in the sunlight.
Lin Yilan put her arms around his waist with satisfaction. At that moment, she suddenly felt that time had stopped and the years were so peaceful.
——
After Chu Siran returned to the Chu family, he was greeted by the choking smell of cigarettes that filled the entire house.
"Dad, Mom, where did you go? What happened just now?"
When Chu's father and mother recalled everything that had just happened, they were overwhelmed with indescribable emotions! After Chu Xi was put in jail, they really wanted to abandon Chu Xi as a chess piece, but they didn't expect... Chu Xi would let the people who kidnapped her release her.
The old couple had mixed feelings at this time. Dad Chu didn't say a word, just smoked and sighed.
Chu Siran was really confused and sat down next to Chu's mother inexplicably: "Mom, you guys...don't scare me, don't ignore me, what happened? What's going on between you and Dad?"
"Chu Xi she..." Chu's mother actually didn't know how to introduce Chu Xi to Chu Siran.
"What happened to Chu Xi? Did she threaten you? Or did she do anything detrimental to the company?"
"No, Siran... It was Chu Xi's mother who hired the mafia to kidnap your father and me. They were holding guns and trying to kill us... If Chu Xi hadn't been kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for us, we would have died! You can't even see us now."
Chu Xi's mother wants to kill her own parents?
Chu Siran was a little confused: "Mom...are you sure? Shouldn't her mother be grateful to our family? We raised Chu Xi, how could she repay kindness with hatred!?"
Chu's father and mother were silent, looking at each other with worried expressions.
All of this happened so suddenly. How did a mother suddenly appear out of nowhere? And... she seemed to be quite powerful.
Chu Siran was afraid that Lin Yilan would worry, so she told her about the family's affairs: "Baby, now that things have turned out like this, tell me, what should I do? In such a blatant place like the hotel, his family dared to kill him! What if...one day he gets upset and runs to my house? "
"No." Lin Yilan comforted.
This is Haicheng, Country Z! I can only do something so impulsive once.
If this happens again, I will really not take the Haicheng police seriously!
In the following days, Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng waited for Jenny's parents to return from abroad, but they never arrived. They had thought that this armed kidnapping case would quickly make the news in Haicheng, but unexpectedly, it was calm and there was no news at all.
This... is strange.
Could it be that Smith and Ada are so good at keeping things under control?
That's impossible.
Lin Yilan was quite doubtful, her eyes fixed blankly on the ground in front of her.
Huo Juncheng walked out of Jenny's ward and walked quietly to Lin Yilan.
He walked to Lin Yilan's side, took off his coat and put it on Lin Yilan.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked in a low, gentle voice.
Lin Yilan raised her eyes and looked at Huo Juncheng bewilderedly: "No, I just think it's weird."
"Thinking about Chu Xi's parents?"
"Yeah. Don't you find it strange that such a big thing didn't make the news? I don't think Smith has the ability to suppress this news."
Huo Juncheng's eyes turned slightly and he smiled: "I tell you, it's because they don't dare to announce this news."
"Hmm? Don't dare?"
"Think about it, wouldn't it be scary for Haicheng, a city that's always been so quiet, to suddenly have such a major incident? If they make it public, it would mean telling the outside world that Haicheng is unsafe, and then the safety of Haicheng would also be at risk. They won't do something like that that would only shoot themselves in the foot."
Lin Yilan understood: "Did you hide it on purpose?"
"Well, we won't publish it until we've cracked the case. We're probably already investigating it secretly. You'll know when you tell Chief Zhang."
"I'm not going to fight you. I'm not a gossiper. I'm just curious. Now that you've explained it to me, I know why I'm asking."
Lin Yilan gave Huo Juncheng a silly smile. "Hey, Mr. Huo, when will Jenny's parents arrive?" Jenny's time was running out. Why hadn't her parents shown up since they found out about her accident? Was their daughter's life really that worthless?
"I don't know." Huo Juncheng took a deep breath: "I can't contact them anymore."
"Can't get in touch?"
"Well, no one answered the phone. It's out of service area."
Lin Yilan originally hated Jenny, but now she suddenly felt sorry for her.
What horrific experiences had she endured these past few days? She was terrified at the thought. Just hearing the words the medical examiner used to describe her was particularly terrifying.
Huo Juncheng didn't say anything. After a while, the nurse called Jenny's family to accompany Jenny for treatment.
These days, Huo Juncheng has been with Jenny in all her daily life, including treatment.
Huo Juncheng stood up straight, took a deep breath and followed the nurse.
Lin Yilan sat in the corridor with nothing to do, her mind in a mess, all the recent events resurfacing in her mind. The first day of the new year had already passed, and the mysterious organization hadn't done anything to her or Huo Juncheng.
She always felt that it was dangerous for her and Huo Juncheng to be out there like this, especially in a dangerous place like a hospital where they would come into contact with many people at any time.
They don't know what identities these people will suddenly appear in if they appear.
There is no way around this!
Lin Yilan stood up and sent a text message to Long Cheng asking him to protect Huo Juncheng at all times. She then called to inquire about her milk tea shop.
Unexpectedly, Vivian called her at this time: "Lin Yilan, where are you?"
"Vivian? What's wrong with me being in the hospital now?"
"I've taken on a new film, and the director needs a martial arts director. If you're free, would you like to join us?"
"Another one? Vivian, you can't work so hard even for the money. You don't take your health seriously at all!" Lin Yilan couldn't take on any new roles in her current condition, so she could only politely decline: "Vivian, I may not be able to fight alongside you this time. Huo Juncheng has something going on, and I may not be able to leave for a while."
Vivian's disappointment was obvious: "Oh, well, I'll try to find another friend of mine when the time comes."
"Okay, sorry Vivian."
Lin Yilan had just hung up the phone when she caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly passing by her. The man's gaze was very sharp, and the moment his eyes met Lin Yilan's, he deliberately lowered his hat.
She looked at the man and felt that he was familiar, and was stunned for a moment.
She wanted to chase him, but the man had already left her and made a provocative gesture in the crowd!
