Chapter 1192: Chapter 1205-1206: Assault (12)
The old man was watching the news when he suddenly saw a breaking live report.
"Breaking news, at 10 a.m. local time, the airport was attacked, resulting in 7 deaths and over a hundred injuries. Dozens of attackers were either killed or seriously wounded and have all been subdued.
During the attack, gunfire was intense, and explosions were deafening. The assailants fired at a man in a white shirt..."
How could a shooting incident happen at the airport?
The old man focused, listening to the anchor’s clear and resonant voice—
"...An eyewitness at the airport said the masked gunmen arrived at Terminal 3 and opened fire on a man and two women at the entrance. The witness, who was nearby, accidentally injured themselves while escaping..."
Seeing Huo Jinnan on the news screen suddenly, the old man clutched at his heart, his heartbeat in his throat.
To think such a thing would happen when going to pick someone up!
He picked up his phone, about to make a call, when the door opened.
Seeing Huo Jinnan, Qin Huan, and a stranger walk in, he quickly stood up with the aid of his cane and went over, "Anan, Huanhuan, you two aren’t hurt, are you?"
Huo Jinnan replied in a low voice, "No, but there might be some trouble for big brother."
The old man said nothing, indeed!
This severe shooting incident happened shortly after taking office, and at an airport, no less, the impact is truly disastrous!
Qiao Qiao stood aside and said, "I’m sorry."
Only then did the old man notice her, "It’s good that you’re not hurt, it’s good that you’re not hurt."
He repeated it twice, then looked at Qin Huan, "Huanhuan, is this your friend?"
Qin Huan nodded and looked at Qiao Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, this is my grandfather."
Qiao Qiao felt guilty as today’s events were all because of her, looking at the old man in guilt, "Hello, grandpa, I’m Qiao Qiao, I..."
The old man looked at Qiao Qiao, knowing what she wanted to say, but it couldn’t be blamed on Qiao Qiao; the Huo Family people can’t just stay indoors all the time, can they? Being watched for twenty hours, causing a commotion like this as soon as they step out.
He quickly interrupted Qiao Qiao, "Were you scared?"
Qiao Qiao nodded, it was her first time encountering such a scene! In comparison, last time Gu Jizhou driving them off an overpass was a trivial matter.
The old man looked at Uncle Guan, "Is Miss Qiao’s room ready?"
Uncle Guan, "It’s ready."
The old man turned to Qiao Qiao again, "Take Miss Qiao to rest."
Uncle Guan looked at Qiao Qiao, "Miss Qiao—"
Just then, Qin Moting came back from the company.
As soon as he entered, he saw Qiao Qiao and thought he was seeing things. He looked at Qiao Qiao again.
Qiao Qiao saw Qin Moting, "Fo...Fourth Master, hello..."
Qin Moting, "Qiao Qiao, I heard you went abroad before."
Qiao Qiao quickly regained her composure, "Yes, I just returned today."
Qin Huan and Huo Jinnan said nothing, they knew about this, only the old man was slightly surprised, Qiao Qiao called Qin Moting Fourth Master?
Qin Moting looked at Qin Huan, "Huanhuan, you know Qiao Qiao?"
Qin Huan looked at Qin Moting, "Dad, we’ve always been friends."
Qin Moting said nothing more; with Qiao Qiao back, the Qin Family won’t be quiet anymore.
Qin Huan was about to speak when her phone rang.
She picked it up and glanced at it, it was her second brother, Qin Shaonan.
As soon as she answered, she heard Qin Shaonan’s voice, "Are you and Huo Jinnan unharmed?"
Qin Huan glanced at Qiao Qiao, "No, we weren’t hurt."
Qin Shaonan, "That’s good, rest well."
"Okay."
Just as Qin Huan finished speaking, the call was disconnected.
Second brother—
Is that his way of showing concern?
She put away the phone and looked at Qiao Qiao, "Go and rest, you were on a plane all night, we’ll call you when lunch is ready."
Qiao Qiao was indeed tired and followed Uncle Guan upstairs.
Qin Huan watched her back, thinking her second brother wanted to ask if Qiao Qiao was alright? A bit too reserved, wasn’t he?
