Chapter 650: Don’t Think of Bribing
Almost at the moment when Chen Jie got out of the car, Gao Long and Gao Hu also got out of the car very quickly and chased in the direction Chen Jie was running.
Chen Jie ran forward with all his might. He ran into a very busy market. He did not forget to look back. From a distance, he could see two tall and strong men slowly approaching him.
"Hmph!" Chen Jie sneered, gritted his teeth, and sped up to shuttle into the crowd.
"Oh my, why is this kid bumping into things left and right? Doesn't he look at the road?" Some people who were hit by Chen Jie looked at the little boy's back in confusion and muttered a few words.
After all, Gao Long and Gao Hu were professionally trained bodyguards, and they caught up with Chen Jie in a short while.
Gao Long grabbed Chen Jie's collar and pulled him back.
"Ouch!" Chen Jie was strangled and screamed in horror.
Because he was a child, his voice was a little shrill, and his shout attracted the attention of the people around him.
Soon a circle of people gathered around, surrounding Chen Jie and the other three, and the passers-by were whispering.
Chen Jie stared with wide eyes at Gao Long in front of him, who was much taller than him. He knew that he would definitely lose in a fight. He looked around and suddenly a white light flashed through his mind.
"Let me go! I don't even know you!" the little boy shouted very loudly, his whole face wrinkled, as if he was about to cry out of fear in the next second.
Gao Long paused and frowned.
Chen Jie keenly caught Gao Long's little action. He smiled triumphantly in his heart and continued to shout loudly.
"Help! I don't know them at all. They are human traffickers and they are here to arrest me!" The little boy shouted while wiping his eyes.
There were many parents with children or people with a strong sense of justice among the pedestrians around. When they heard the word "human traffickers", the crowd was already boiling with excitement. Some people directly stepped forward to subdue Gao Long and Gao Hu.
When Chen Jie saw this scene, he stuck out his tongue at Gao Long provocatively and ran away.
Passersby were so noisy that no one noticed that the little boy had run away long ago.
"Ding Dong—" The shrill doorbell suddenly rang.
Huo Juncheng, who was originally being affectionate with Lin Yilan, was startled by the sudden doorbell. Then his face turned black, almost as dark as coal.
"puff……"
Lin Yilan couldn't help laughing when she saw Huo Juncheng's face-changing expression, which was like a Peking Opera performance. She pushed away Huo Juncheng who was pressing his nose against hers and said, "Okay, go open the door."
Huo Juncheng, who was pushed away by Lin Yilan, looked at her with his mouth drooping, and the corners of his eyes drooped, like a giant dog.
In the end, Huo Juncheng sighed, stood up resignedly and went to open the door for the "uninvited guest".
When I opened the door, Gao Long and Gao Hu came into view.
Huo Juncheng was startled by the two people in front of him.
There were still some broken egg shells hanging on Gao Long's hair, and his clothes and head were covered with egg liquid and tomatoes. Gao Hu was not much better, with a messy hair and a rotten vegetable leaf hanging on his clothes.
"Did you... send Chen Jie to an orphanage or to the battlefield?" Huo Juncheng asked in surprise.
God knows how much effort Gao Long and Gao Hu put in to escape from that group of boss ladies and come to Huo Juncheng.
"Boss, it's our fault that we let Chen Jie escape and we weren't sent to the orphanage." The two said in unison.
"...It's okay. Chen Jie can't cause any trouble right now anyway." Huo Juncheng paused, looking at the two people in front of him with an indescribable expression, "You two should go back and change your clothes and take a shower. Look at what has happened."
A rare blush appeared on Gao Long and the other man's faces. As soon as Huo Juncheng finished speaking, the two of them ran away, looking extremely funny.
"Who is it?" Lin Yilan saw Huo Juncheng standing at the door for a long time, so she walked over curiously and asked.
"Gao Long and Gao Hu, come back and report to me. Chen Jie has escaped." Huo Juncheng said indifferently, and did not forget to rub Lin Yilan's head.
Hearing this, Lin Yilan was stunned. She thought that Chen Jie's efforts would be in vain, but she didn't expect that Chen Jie would actually run away. Thinking of all the things that happened before, the feeling of guilt surged up like a tide.
After returning to the living room, Lin Yilan felt really guilty towards Huo Juncheng. After thinking about it, she walked into the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator and looked at the various ingredients inside. She felt both familiar and unfamiliar. She turned on the air conditioner for a long time and finally took out two tomatoes and three eggs.
After all, apart from scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Lin Yilan really can't think of any other cooking skills.
Lin Yilan took a deep breath, then nodded heavily as if to encourage herself, and began her cooking journey.
Little did he know that Huo Juncheng was leaning against the door at this moment, watching Lin Yilan busy in the kitchen, with a doting yet helpless smile on his lips.
After a long struggle, a simple dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was finally ready. Lin Yilan served it out and took a closer look. Fortunately, it looked good, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Lin Yilan about to turn around and leave, Huo Juncheng immediately ran back to his original seat in a panic and looked at his phone as if nothing had happened.
The naive Lin Yilan thought Huo Juncheng knew nothing, so she brought scrambled eggs with tomatoes and quietly walked to Huo Juncheng.
"Hey!" She stretched out her arm and handed the dish to Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He took a look at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then turned to look at Lin Yilan and asked with a smile, "Why are you making this dish all of a sudden?"
Lin Yilan pouted and lowered her eyes.
"I want to bribe you with this dish." She said in a low voice.
"Bribe me with what?" Huo Juncheng continued to ask with a smile.
"I came to bribe you, so don't blame me for being too stupid since you trusted others so easily." Lin Yilan said with great guilt.
Without having to explain it clearly, Huo Juncheng also knew that Lin Yilan was talking about the incident about Chen Jie. He knew that Lin Yilan had been brooding over it and felt very guilty towards him.
Huo Juncheng sighed helplessly, with tenderness written all over his face. He whispered, "I wouldn't blame you even if you didn't bribe me. How could I blame you?" After that, he kissed the tip of Lin Yilan's nose.
After hearing what Huo Juncheng said, the melancholy on Lin Yilan's face finally disappeared.
At this moment, the door clicked open, and it was Sister Xiu who had bandaged her wound and came back.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the young couple sitting there talking happily, and a smile appeared on her face.
Sister Xiu walked over and said to Lin Yilan, "I've noticed Chen Jie has been acting strangely lately. I have a feeling he's got something to do with this car accident."
"Maybe." Perhaps just as Sister Xiu thought, this matter has something to do with Chen Jie.
Ever since they adopted Chen Jie, everything that has happened recently has been too weird.
This little boy seemed innocent and harmless, but he was terrifying.
