Chapter 654 The Person Who Took Revenge on Huo Xingzhou
Qiao Xi murmured, "I’ve been feeling uneasy recently, but I keep comforting myself. Grandpa Cheng used to go into the mountains to gather herbs, and he’d be gone for months without coming back. He’s quite capable of surviving in the wild."
Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Huo Xingzhou, as if seeking some sort of affirmation: "You said you’ve sent everyone out to search for him. Is it possible someone overlooked something? Or maybe Grandpa Cheng isn’t in the Imperial Capital anymore. He could’ve gone back to Haicheng or somewhere else. You surely haven’t looked everywhere."
So perhaps Grandpa Cheng isn’t in trouble—he’s just not been found by Huo Xingzhou’s people.
Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "Originally, I shouldn’t tell you anything until we had a clear result. But I hadn’t anticipated today’s incident. The lack of bodyguards around me must have already spread across the Imperial Capital, and some people definitely won’t pass up this opportunity."
"Then let Old Chen stay with you! You should recall some of your people, and we should report this to the police!"
Qiao Xi’s thoughts were chaotic, as though grasping at a lifeline.
"We can report Grandpa Cheng’s disappearance to the police and ask them for help, can’t we? There are so many people targeting you—the Huo Beiting family refuses to give up. We can’t let them rise again. You can’t afford to have anything happen to you now."
She didn’t want to return to the life she used to live.
Now, even though it seems like she has everything, her grandmother—whom she depended on—has passed away.
Even Grandpa Cheng’s whereabouts are unknown.
