An hour later, the Huo family's old house.

Mu Qian returned home first, and Yueyue leaned peacefully in her arms and was already asleep.

Mu Qian placed Yueyue on the bed, quickly walked into the cloakroom, and simply packed up a few pieces of clothing for Huo Jinxi.

When he went there, he didn't know what was going on. These external things were not the most important.

Mu Qian cleaned up briefly, then sat on the sofa and became stunned.

After another half an hour, Huo Jinxi, who had just given the work briefly, rushed back home.

Mu Qian then came to her senses and walked out of the cloakroom. She happened to see Huo Jinxi walking to the bedside, reaching out to touch Yueyue's face.

Mu Qian hurried forward and whispered: "Have you received the call?"

"No." Huo Jinxi said, "either the other party has not yet thought of the conditions, or they are just waiting for me to come."

After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but reach out to support his shoulder and whispered: "I'll go with you."

"No." Huo Jinxi said, "You stay at home and take good care of Qi Ran and Yueyue."

Mu Qian paused, and wanted to say something, but he didn't insist.

"Then you go there and call me at any time." Mu Qian said.

Huo Jinxi responded, looked at the time again, and then said, "It's time for me to go to the airport. Stay at home and don't disturb my grandfather."

Mu Qian nodded, and seeing Huo Jinxi standing up, she couldn't help but reach out and hug him tightly.

"It will be fine, right?" Mu Qian said softly, not knowing whether he was asking Cheng Manshu or Huo Jinxi.

Huo Jinxi lowered her head, kissed her gently at the corner of her eyes, and said, "I'll be back soon."

"I don't doubt this." Mu Qian said, "After all, your daughter is still in my hands."

Huo Jinxi kissed her again, and then hurried to the airport.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed in Nanfang S City on time.

As soon as he got off the plane, Huo Jinxi saw Lin Shu who was waiting at the airport, as well as the bodyguards who were arranged to protect Cheng Manshu.

Perhaps because they knew that they were not doing things well, several of them lowered their heads and looked as if they were dead.

But Huo Jinxi just glanced at them, then walked towards Lin Shu, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it when you go back."

When he returned to his residence, Lin Shucai told Huo Jinxi the details of the matter.

"Your mother went out with Mrs. Chen, the neighbor. At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the two made an appointment to go to morning rush together, but they didn't come back until after 10 o'clock. I thought there was a bodyguard following me, so I was not too worried. At around 10 o'clock, the bodyguard called me and asked me if your mother was back. I realized she was gone..."

Huo Jinxi looked up at the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat. The bodyguard hurriedly said, "We followed our wife out, but the wife has never liked that we were too close. After the morning transportation, she and Mrs. Chen went to the restaurant for breakfast, so we were guarding the door. Until after ten o'clock, I wanted to go in and check the situation, but I found that the wife was missing..."

"Where is that Mrs. Chen?"

"Mrs. Chen has already gone home." The bodyguard replied, "She said she had breakfast and had something urgent to do, so she left through the back door..."

When Huo Jinxi heard the word "back door", his eyes became dim.

The bodyguard immediately lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, we were dereliction of duty and did not notice that there was a back door there."

"Is this the first time I'm going to the restaurant?" Huo Jinxi asked again.

The bodyguard was silent for a moment before nodding again, "Yes."

The air in the car suddenly became suffocating.

Huo Jinxi glanced at the bodyguard again and said slowly: "Because my wife has never liked you to follow me. As time goes by, you have relaxed yourself. It is really easy to follow her wife, right?"

The bodyguard lowered his head and said nothing.

"Now is not the time to talk about this," Lin Shu said. "The most important thing is that your mother is fine... Have you received any calls or something? Or have anyone else received it?"

"No." Huo Jinxi's voice was extremely cold. After pausing for a moment, he asked Lin Shu again: "Who is that Mrs. Chen?"

"It's just an ordinary neighbor..." Lin Shu said, "I moved in half a year after we moved here. I was very enthusiastic and kind, and I soon became familiar with your mother... Do you doubt her? It probably won't... I have been together for more than a year, but I don't think there is anything wrong with her."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jinxi frowned again and looked at the bodyguard in the front row, "Have you checked the surveillance in the restaurant?"

"Check..." the bodyguard replied, "but they said that the surveillance system has been broken for several days and has not had time to fix it..."

Huo Jinxi's eyes instantly became a little darker again, and he looked at Lin Shu and said, "Do you still think that Mrs. Chen is fine?"

Lin Shu was suddenly shocked and could no longer speak.

It seems that there are indeed too many coincidences - the restaurant I went to for the first time, the surveillance that happened to break, and Mrs. Chen who left early... So many coincidences constitute the condition that Cheng Manju was missing, which makes people hard to believe it is a coincidence.

"Is it really related to her?" Lin Shu suddenly gritted her teeth, "I haven't seen her at all for so long - go back quickly! I must catch her and ask clearly!"

Huo Jinxi slowly closed his eyes and did not say a word.

The car quickly drove into the villa community where Cheng Manshu and Lin Shu lived. Before the car could stop, Lin Shu pushed the door and got out of the car and headed straight to the neighbor's house.

However, she lets her ring the doorbell, knock on the door, and shouts for people, but there is no answer in the house.

Lin Shu's face became more and more ugly. She was so angry that she almost wanted to pick up the stones in the garden and smash the window. The security guard of the community arrived and told her: "Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen left at noon and said they were going abroad for vacation..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's face turned pale in an instant and she looked at Huo Jinxi who was standing against the car.

The current situation is really obvious - there must be something wrong with this neighbor and wife.

Huo Jinxi's eyes swept over the house with a closed door, turned around and walked towards the house where Cheng Manshu and Lin Shu lived.

After entering the door, Huo Jinxi sat down on the sofa in the living room, closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was thinking or taking a nap.

Lin Shu walked in quickly, grabbed Huo Jinxi's hand and said, "Jinxi, what should we do now?"

Huo Jinxi sat motionlessly, and after a while, he slowly uttered a word: "Wait."

Although Cheng Manshu has a strange temperament, she has not many opportunities to make enemies with others because she has been at home for a long time. Especially after coming to S City, her mental state and mood have improved a lot, and she lives a very comfortable life, so she won't offend anyone.

No matter how the other party looked, it seemed to be coming for him.

Since this is the case, they will definitely not dare to hurt Cheng Manshu's life. After all, they will keep her and negotiate with him.

But what Huo Jinxi didn't expect was that he had waited for three days.
