Chapter 1028: Sense of Security
st, I'll finish this up and come over.""Beware..." The old woman was somewhat flustered. She knew that Lin Hongliang had a strong following within the palace over the years. Hearing him say his people...Ho Yanchen raised his hand and gently placed it on Arno's shoulder. He lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a long time: "Arno, if there were someone who had been deceived all the time, even forced to be separated from their own flesh and blood, what do you think of this person"
Arnold's eyebrows furrowed.
Although he was much smarter than other children his age, there were some profound things he still couldn't understand.
However, it does sound awful for someone to be constantly deceived and forced to be separated from their children.
"Poor."
He has two mothers, one biological and one adoptive. But for many years... he was deceived, not even knowing they died tragically. He thought they simply passed away accidentally. Do you find him pitiful
"Two mothers now" Arnold's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Nothing left." Huo Yanchen replied.
"If it were Arnold, Arnold would be very sad, very sad." Arnold said seriously.
“Yeah, it’s really heartbreaking.” Huo Yanchen smiled, his thumb lightly rubbing against Arno’s cheek, then he asked, “So if you retaliate against the person who deceived and hurt him, Arno, do you think that’s wrong”
Arnold thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head. “The uncle on the island said that kindness and mercy must have edges, don't hurt others, and don't make concessions to other people's harm.”
"Yeah." Huo Yanchen smiled. "My Arno is a tough man."
"Uncle Ho, who is that person He looks so pitiful," Arno asked.
"Uncle will tell you later," Huo Yanchen replied. "Arnold, what Uncle told you just now, don't tell Mom for the time being, I'm afraid she'll be sad."
"Hmm!" Arnold nodded. "That's certainly a sad thing."
"Arno, can you give me a hug" Huo Yanchen looked at Arno and said softly.
Arnold hesitated for a moment, then said, "Are you going to apologize to Danni"
"Mm." Huo Yanchen nodded. "Yes, I will."
Arnold then stepped forward and hugged Huo Yanchen.
"Uncle Huo, Dan Nu really likes you. After she met you, she doesn't look for Dad anymore. She already considers you her father," Arnold said in a low voice.
Huo Yanchen gently stroked Arno's nape, just responding with a sound, without saying more.
After Huo Yanchen came back, Danniu hid again.
But Arnold knew where she was hiding and quietly told Huo Yanchen.
She hid in Leanne's closet.
Huo Yanchen walked to the cabinet door, let out a soft sigh, and then pushed open the cabinet door.
Dan Ni looked up at him, then got up and was about to run.
Huo Yanchen grabbed her.
"Dan Niang, Uncle Huo was wrong."
Diannu awkwardly turned her head, but her eyes immediately reddened.
"Did you hurt yourself yesterday" Huo Yanchen asked.
Dannie didn't speak, and after a while, she turned her head to ask Huo Yanchen, "Was Dannie not good"
Ho Yanchen shook his head.
"Did Dandan make Uncle angry"
Ho Yanchen still shook his head.
"Uncle Keho doesn't like Danni anymore!" Danni said with red eyes.
"No..."
"Liar!" Dan Niang looked at Huo Yan Chen, "Dan Niang can't feel love from Uncle Huo!"
Huo Yanchen: "..."
Children have their own many logic and standards for judging things.
Sometimes, it's surprisingly accurate.
His feelings for Dan Nu had indeed changed a lot.
Those things, with thorns that pierced his flesh and scraped at his heart, leaving him bleeding all over.
"I know why you're here. Don't worry, DanDan isn't the type to tattle." DanDan surprisingly didn't cry or fuss, "But I hope you don't treat AnAn the way you treated me!"
After saying that, Dan Nu broke free from Huo Yan Chen's fingers and turned to leave.
Huo Yichen stood there, watching the small figure disappear outside the door. He felt a dull ache in his chest for no apparent reason.
Huo Yanchen originally intended to just leave like this.
At a glance, he saw various drugs in Luo Xin's wardrobe.
He frowned slightly, then walked over and picked up one of them, looking at it, then at another.
All medications are for helping with sleep and alleviating anxiety.
On the side of the medicine, there's also a box of plaster that has been opened and used up half, all applied to the wrist for pain.
Huo Yanchen's heart felt as if it had been pierced by something.
All, and to make him look like this, she herself lives such a life
Huo Yanchen's hatred dissipated in an instant.
How much does she hate herself to rather live like this than bring the child back to him, and even make him like this now!
In the eyes of all the people in the know, he was living like an idiot!
After the anger, Huo Yanchen's face gradually became calm.
Who cares why
The answer was no longer important to him.
This is not what he wanted.
Huo Yanchen closed the closet door and then left Luo Anxin's empty room.
Actually, if he had been a little more curious and opened the first shelf of that cabinet containing various drugs, he would have seen that in all these years, Luo Xin's only remaining possession was a photo of her and him.
And those yearnings that reached their peak, unable to be expressed, she filled the blank page with thoughts of you, thoughts of you, thoughts of you...
An entire cabinet filled with thoughts of you.
After going downstairs.
Dan Nu and Arno are no longer in the living room.
Xilin told Huo Yanchen that they had already returned to the room to rest.
Huo Yanchen responded with a sound, then sat on the sofa and waited for Luo Anxin to come back.
In Huo Yanchen's memory, every time he sat here waiting for Luo Anxin to get off work, he was filled with joy.
But this time, his heart was a cold void. The only thing that wasn't cold was the mockery.
Just past ten o'clock, Luo Xin and Bai Xiaoru returned together.
Ho Yanchen stood up.
"Good evening, Mr. Huo," Bai Xiaorui waved her hand.
Ho Yanchen nodded slightly in response: "Gong Yi is helping my personal doctor look into some things, he's estimated to be very busy for the next two days and might delay your time together."
Bai Xiaorui shook her head: “I heard, Dr. Chen Hua is a good person, he also helped Palace Yi's mother before, this is what we should do.”
Huoyan Chen nodded.
"I'm going to rest first, won't disturb you." Bai Xiaoru finished speaking and went toward her room.
Luo Xin stood on the spot, tilting her head to look at Huo Yanchen: "What are you doing standing so far away"
Ho Yanchen's lips curled into a smile, looking exceptionally handsome: "I'll wait for you to come over and hug me."
Luo Xin smiled silently, but still walked over and hugged Huo Yanchen. She wrapped her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed against his chest.
Before this, Huo Yanchen had discovered that Luo Anxin particularly liked being held like this.
"Why are you always hugging me like this" Huo Yanchen asked.
Luo Xin closed her eyes: "Your heartbeat, it gives me a sense of security."
Huo Yanchen's finger trembled slightly.
Hearing this would make your heart race, it would give me a sense of security. If I heard this before knowing the truth, I might just rip my heart out and give it to her right then and there.
"Then listen for a while longer." Huo Yanchen's fingertips lifted a strand of her hair, twirling it around his finger.
Luo Xin readily responded with a nod, tightening her grip.
This evening, Huo Yanchen did not show any abnormalities.
Even though Luo Xin was unusually tired, she didn't notice anything.
After kissing each of the sleeping children around Go Egg Nui and Arnold, she went back to her room.
Chen Hua's grandson has yet to be found, and the kidnapper's identity remains unconfirmed.
Gong Yi and Huo Yanchen dispatched more people to search the school.
After finding the backpack and shoes, all vehicles and people entering and exiting all school exits were searched.
However...
Still nothing but a barren field.
Gong Yi stood in the monitoring room, looking at the playback screens before him. His face was extremely cold.
"Young Master, I've checked everything there is to check." A man from the Gong family said in a low voice behind him.
"All of it" Gong Yi asked in a low voice.
The man thought for a moment: "Besides our own cars."
Gong Yi's brows furrowed tightly: "Investigate everyone, you never know if someone else has snuck in."
"Yes!"
After everyone left, Gong Yi still stared at the monitor.
For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling today that there might be something else on the surveillance side that hadn't been discovered.
Gong Yi is a staunch materialist.
I absolutely don't believe that people can just vanish into thin air.
Moreover, it's even more conspicuous in a bustling school.
Then, he went to the monitoring room and asked them to pull up all the footage from this morning so he could watch it again himself.
Now that half of the surveillance footage has been reviewed, nothing has been found.
Ke Gongyi always felt that something was off.
But no matter how I tried, I couldn't find that spot.
And just like that, the entire night passed.
The golden 24-hour rescue window after a child goes missing has also passed.
This also means that the probability of Chen Xiaoguo's victimization may have increased significantly.
But just at that moment, a piece of exciting news came from the laboratory.
When Bai Xiaorui ran down from upstairs, Luo Anxin was having breakfast.
Huo Yanchen left very early.
"It's not Chen Xiaoguo!" Bai Xiaorui rushed to Luo Anxin's face, "Anxin, the blood on your schoolbag is not Chen Xiaoguo's!"
Luo Xin immediately stood up: “Are you sure”
"Definitely! Definitely!" Bai Xiaoru nodded repeatedly.
"That's good, it means there's a greater chance of survival." Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief. "But...it wasn't Xiaoguo's blood, then whose was it The murderer's"
"The police have already started looking in the DNA database, and there should be news soon." Bai Xiaorui's face was full of joy. "The Chen family people knowing this news, I'm afraid they can also breathe a sigh of relief."
“The other party put those things there obviously to scare the Chen family, but he probably wouldn't hurt the child, so he came up with these things as a distraction.” Luo Xin pursed her lips, “We have to keep sending more people to look. Xiao Guo must still be alive!”solemn, "How old was Qiu Zhiying at that time""Eleven years old." Huo Yanchen replied.Luoxin felt a chill inexplicably creep up her spine from the soles of her feet to the top of her head."If it reall...
