Chapter 3557 A Devil in a Mask 7

“Yeah. The family, their partners in crime, and the cops pursuing you are all dead.”

“Those people did it?”

Huo Mian referred to the people who offered 2 million to buy her.

She had known those people were evil, but the human traffickers were blinded by money and didn’t listen to Huo Mian’s advice, or they wouldn’t have been killed.

“I think so.”

“Fortunately, we got away in time. Those people are ruthless. I wonder if they were sent by that evil guy Ian.” Huo Mian only knew Ian and his brother Nalo wanted to catch her and weren’t aware of other forces.

“I’ll get to the bottom of it.” Qin Chu had been on guard. Obviously, these people couldn’t catch Lu Yan and decided to target the easy prey that was Huo Mian, but Huo Mian hadn’t even realized how dangerous the situation was for her.

It was no longer a simple case of human trafficking. Even though the human traffickers were real, they were hunted down before they went out to find a buyer. It showed how powerful their enemies’ intelligence network was. They were surrounded by spies.

Seeing her husband’s sulky face, Huo Mian didn’t dare to say more, planning to make some of his favorite dishes to soothe Mr. Qin and comfort his scared heart.

“Honey, you didn’t tell anyone about this incident, right?”

Qin Chu was silent.

“Don’t tell Mom and Dad. They are old and can’t take the scare. We must keep it from the kids, too.”

“Now you’re concerned. What were you thinking?” Despite not having the heart to scold her much, Qin Chu couldn’t help but say.

“They say pregnant women get silly. My IQ plummeted. Haha.”

Huo Mian mocked herself with a smirk, trying to placate Mr. Qin.

After Zeng Rou and her two girlfriends were escorted back to the provincial capital, she went to see the mysterious figure again.

“How did it go?”

“Very well.”

“Did Huo Mian suspect you?”

“I’m not sure. She’s smart and the timing of my appearance was a bit too coincidental. But… our people didn’t kill Zhu Darong and when Qin Chu finds out who did it, we’d be in the clear.”

‘Good.”

“Sir, I don’t understand why we discontinued the line of Su Yu.”

“I got the information that his mother arranged a woman for him. I’m afraid things would get messy if you returned. Then we’d waste our time without getting any useful information. After all, you saved Huo Mian and she’d be grateful no matter how smart she is.”

“So what do I do now?”

“You’ll be hospitalized.”

“Hospitalized?” Zeng Rou frowned, not understanding his meaning.

“You have no reason to return to C City, so we must create one. Since Huo Mian is a doctor, you must return as a patent.”

“Got it. What illness… should I assume?” Zeng Rou was afraid to disobey the man.

That night, when Zeng Rou went shopping in a mall, she was pushed down the stairs and got a slight concussion.

On the next day, she was transferred from the provincial hospital to the South Side Recuperation Center.

Huo Mian didn’t know this until Chen Jie mentioned it the next morning.

“Sister Mian, you know Zeng Rou, right?”

“Yeah. Why ask?”

“She’s now an inpatient in our hospital.”

“What?” Huo Mian was surprised. She found Zeng Rou kept crossing paths with her lately, and it gave her a strange feeling.
