Chapter 1037: 1047 Ah... Adong, is that you? (4)
Wen Nuan felt a phone slip into her palm, and as she sat there, she thought for a few seconds, then lifted it to her ear, "Huanhuan... brother-in-law, ..."
Wu Long glanced at the assistant.
Before Wen Nuan had the chance to say a second sentence, the assistant took the phone and forcibly hung up.
Wen Nuan sat there, exhaling a sigh of relief, close call!
Luckily, it wasn’t on speaker; she narrowly avoided this disaster, but she wouldn’t be so lucky next time.
She pushed the fruit aside, "I’m tired."
Wu Long looked at the assistant.
The assistant took Wen Nuan to the room, shoved her inside.
Feeling the door locked behind her, Wen Nuan tore off the blindfold from her eyes and glanced around the room, no communication devices! And no clues left behind!
Looking out the window, she didn’t recognize it!
Where on earth is this place?
———— Yunqi Academy ————
Qin Huan, clutching her phone, lay there, constantly furrowing her brows.
Huo Jinnan came back from the study, saw this upon entering, and sat by the bedside, holding her hand tightly in his palm, "What’s wrong?"
Feeling the strength and warmth from his palm, Qin Huan looked up at Huo Jinnan, "I just received a call from Wen Nuan."
"Wen Nuan?"
Huo Jinnan gazed at Qin Huan, his eyes suddenly deep and intense.
Qin Huan nodded, "It sounded like someone made her call me, Wen Nuan purposefully called ’brother-in-law’ before it was forcibly cut off."
Huo Jinnan said, "Give me the phone."
Qin Huan handed the phone to Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan took a look; there was no number displayed, and believed that there would be no trace even if they investigated.
Qin Huan tugged at Huo Jinnan’s sleeve, "Nuannuan was trying to protect me; maybe they aren’t after her but me instead."
Huo Jinnan looked at Qin Huan without speaking.
Qin Huan bit her lip, sitting there, staring at the well-decorated wall opposite.
Huo Jinnan caressed her cheek, "Don’t think too much, once Ye Bai returns, let him take care of you, so I can handle these matters with peace of mind."
Qin Huan nodded, feeling much better thinking of the little one returning soon.
Huo Jinnan observed Qin Huan, worried she’d be preoccupied, and didn’t mention when Ye Bai would return.
Remembering Ye Bai said she’d come over by herself today, he lifted his sleeve to check his watch; it was already one in the afternoon, he wondered what time she could arrive.
...
Ye Bai arrived in Hong Kong, taking the little one to Jin Bo’s place first.
Jin Bo noticed the little one and scanned his gaze over him several times, reminding him so much of his younger brother’s childhood.
The little one looked at Jin Bo, "Are you the mayor?"
Jin Bo replied affirmatively, lighting a cigarette.
Thinking that knowing the mayor and fostering a good relationship would benefit Huo Jinnan too, the little one politely extended his hand, "Nice to meet you."
Jin Bo was taken aback, clasped his large hand around the child’s, and shook hands, "Nice to meet you."
The little one said, "My name is Huo Minhan."
Jin Bo replied, "My name is Jin Bo."
The little one looked at Jin Bo, feeling that he seemed to have a good impression of him, "That’s a nice name."
Jin Bo looked at the little one and laughed heartily, "What makes it nice?"
The little one looked at Jin Bo, pondered for half a minute, "It sounds quite powerful."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Jin Bo glanced over at the little one, then looked at Ye Bai.
Ye Bai said, "Lie down in the bedroom, I’ll take a look at you."
The little one stood beside, glanced up at Ye Bai.
Ye Bai looked at the little one, "Come along."
The little one followed inside.
Ye Bai looked at Jin Bo, "Take off your clothes."
Jin Bo removed his upper garments.
The little one stood there watching, surprised to see a wolf head tattoo on the mayor, looking really fierce!
However—
