Chapter 194 A Wonderful Evening

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Charlotte coldly snorted and refused to pay attention to Huo Yunqi. This fellow’s tone of calling her name was not right, so she didn’t want to be tricked again and again.

After the two of them finished their breakfast in the ambiguous room, Xia Luobing’s phone on the table rang relentlessly, causing Yunqi’s eyebrows to jump uncontrollably.

“What? Alright, I’ll be right there!” Xia Luobing said solemnly. He hung up the phone and looked at Yunqi Huo. “I want to go out and inform him to carry out a mission. You should rest in the hotel.”

The local police called her and found traces of the murderers last night. One of the criminals was injured in the arm and is now hiding in the house of a family in Village C. He also kidnapped children and old people. He hopes Xia Luobing can get there as soon as possible.

“I’ll drive you there.” Huo Yunqi had already picked up Xia Luobing’s coat and said as he walked, “You should calm down before we get to the bottom of this.”

On the day he arrived at Village C, the old man and the child in the courtyard were really strange, making it difficult for him not to be suspicious.

Xia Luobing knew that Huo Yunqi really cared about him. Could it be that she nodded obediently and said, “Don’t worry, I know.”

The two of them quickly arrived at the village. The local police had already pulled the entire village into a cordon. The armed police officers and soldiers and the local police guarded the village completely. Seeing Xia Luobing come over, the person in charge came forward to communicate with her about the situation today.

“Captain Xia, he is hiding in that courtyard. There are two people inside.” The fat policeman stared at his greasy face and said, “No one has come out since we entered this courtyard last night.”

The fat policeman was talking about the courtyard where they knocked on the door. He stood outside the police cordon and looked over. There were no traces of the children and old people in the courtyard. He thought that they had been kidnapped into the house.

“Alright, I understand.” Xia Luobing pinched her eyebrows. She raised her eyebrows and called in so many people to surround her. It would be strange if someone could come out!

Someone had already started shouting in the direction of the courtyard, but the courtyard was quiet as if there was no one. This stalemate lasted until the afternoon. The originally sunny sky suddenly darkened, and beansized raindrops crackled down, causing the wind to blow on his face.

“Not good, there’s a rainstorm!” Someone from the police shouted.

Xia Luobing’s body trembled. She already knew what the storm meant to the village, but didn’t the people here have weather forecasts that she couldn’t figure out? Why didn’t you evacuate all the people here in time?

“Everyone inside, listen up. The rainstorm is coming. You can only wait for death inside. Hurry up and come out.” Xia Luobing snatched the trumpet from a policeman and shouted at the courtyard. She felt a strong sense of unease in her heart.

This uneasiness was not only because there were hostages inside, but also because there was something she could not explain clearly.

Shortly after Xia Luobing’s voice landed, a few children walked out one after another. There were also two children supporting the white-haired old man. They followed suit and walked out.

However, the uneasiness in Xia Luobing’s heart did not lessen as she stared at the dilapidated courtyard. The uneasiness in her heart was like a demon gnawing at her heart.

“The people inside quickly come out!” Xia Luobing shouted anxiously, “Otherwise, we would have gone in.”

Her words were like a wisp of green smoke being blown away in the air, and the courtyard not far away was as silent as death.

“Hualala!”

The rainstorm finally rained down, and the rainwater didn’t let anyone off. Huo Yunqi took off his suit and leaned on Charlotte’s head, silently standing aside and not interrupting her work.

“Captain Xia, we must evacuate immediately. The Yellow River will soon overflow. We must immediately assist the others to evacuate.” The fat policeman looked at Xia Luobing anxiously, but the panic in his eyes told her clearly that he was simply scared.

Xia Luobing only came to help the local police solve the case and did not invoke their powers, so now she could only nod her head in indignation, “Alright.”

“Ice.” Huo Yunqi held onto Xia Luobing’s shoulder and saw that she was looking at the courtyard. She whispered, “Are you alright?”

Xia Luobing nodded silently. He grabbed Yunqi’s arm and looked up at him. “There must be someone in this village who hasn’t had time to evacuate. I need to go check it out before I can be at ease.”

She can’t just take people away like that fat cop, or she’ll have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you.”

Village C was said to be a village. At best, it could only be considered a relatively spacious street. The courtyard was scattered all over the place. Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi hurriedly knocked on the door one by one.

Half an hour later, the water beneath her feet had already reached her knees. Charlotte wiped the water off her face and looked at Huo Yunqi, who was also wet, and shouted, “Go back quickly. I’ll go over after I finish looking at that courtyard!”

They’ve been running around for so long. Even if there really are murderers in that courtyard, they should still escape, right?

Charlotte ran in the direction of the courtyard. She pushed the door open to see what was going on, but the moment she stepped into the house, the house collapsed. Then the water spread out and the lightning cut the dark sky bright.

Hua Hua Hua! What a heavy rain!

A month later, Huo Yunqi opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Huo Yunxi’s red and swollen eyes and Ye Shaochen’s excited but trying hard to control his face.

“Where’s Bing Bing?”

That day, he was only one step slow and watched as Xia Luobing was smashed under the water. Then, the flood rushed over. He was going to swim to bring Xia Luobing out, but was hit by a piece of rushing wood on the back of his head. He fainted and woke up today.

“Big brother, take care of yourself first. We’ll talk about other things later.” Huo Yunxi said softly. She was clearly smiling, but her eyes were clearly flashing with tears.

Huo Yunqi’s expression darkened as he stared at Ye Shaochen.

“Just listen to Yun Xi and nurture your body first!” Ye Shaochen said in a deep voice, “Luo Bing … she’s fine, you can see her after you recover.”

Huo Yunqi refused to accept this explanation.

“Ye Shaochen, you’re lying.” Huo Yunqi sat up weakly. He lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed when Huo Yunxi pressed down on him.

“Big brother, you, you should rest well!” Huo Yunxi choked with tears as he said, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law has already sacrificed herself.”

Sacrifice?

The two words smashed into Huo Yunqi’s mind like a nail, and he didn’t know what they meant.

“I don’t believe it.”

Huo Yunqi said word by word with incomparable determination. He had just made up with her, and he had promised her that they would be together after this. They would never hurt each other again. How could she suddenly be gone?

“Big brother, if big sister-in-law still sees you like this, she will definitely be very sad.” Huo Yunxi said sadly, “Hurry up and get better. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to handle!”

After the flood receded, search and rescue personnel carefully searched every inch of Village C, but there was no trace of Xia Luobing. According to professional analysis, she was most likely washed away by the flood, and it was highly likely that she had died.

Ever since he found out about Xia Luobing’s disappearance that day, Huo Yunqi’s entire body went silent. He completely recovered according to the doctor’s instructions. He would arrange for his men to find Xia Luobing when he was slightly better. However, a whole month had passed and there was still no trace of Xia Luobing.

“President Huo, we haven’t found anyone.” Bai Lin stood in Huo Yunqi’s ward with deep black circles under his eyes.

None of them could accept that someone like Xia Luobing, who was filled with vitality, would suddenly disappear from their side, let alone Huo Yunqi, who had always loved Xia Luobing deeply.

“Continue searching!”

In the past few days, Huo Yunqi’s emotions had calmed down a lot, and he was much colder.

Ye Shaochen was right. The reason why Huo Yunqi was still calm was because he held his last hope. One day, there was a sliver of hope without seeing Xia Luobing’s corpse.

“Yes, President Huo.” Bai Lin respectfully nodded and went out to see Huo Yunxi, who was waiting outside with an anxious expression, shaking his head at her.

Huo Yunxi’s eyes turned red as he grabbed Ye Shaochen’s arm and sobbed, “What should we do? What should we do?”

She vaguely felt that her elder brother’s emotions had been completely suppressed to the lowest level. She did not dare to imagine what terrifying effect these emotions would have when they rebounded like compressed springs. She only felt that the strings in the air were tightened, and the slightest touch would make an ear-piercing sound.

“Don’t worry, there will be a way.” Ye Shaochen held Huo Yunxi’s arm and comforted her heartache, “You’re the only one in the Huo Clan who’s holding on now. Do you need to be strong?”

Although Liu Yan’s condition had improved, there was still no sign of awakening. Huo Yunqi was already awake, but she could collapse at any time. The Huo Clan was truly in a state of turmoil.

Huo Yunxi leaned against Ye Shaochen’s embrace and sniffed, choking, “I know.”

Three days later, Huo Yunqi was discharged from the hospital. It had been two months since Xia Luobing disappeared. Bai Lin still followed his instructions to find people every day and continued to search along the river near Village C.

“Yunqi.” Ai Wei did not open the office door and entered. He looked at the man sitting at his desk with an obsessed expression.

This man was simply created according to the perfect man in her heart, so of course only the most qualified to have him. Everyone else who wanted to rob her would not have a good ending. Xia Luobing was an excellent example. Even if she did not make a move, the heavens would help her take her in.

Thinking of this, the smile on Ai Wei Wei’s face became even brighter.

“Get out!” Huo Yunqi said coldly, and the sunlight on his desk shivered.

Ai Wei Wei knitted his brows and clenched his fingers to suppress the anger in his heart. He softly comforted, ” Yunqi, I know that you are sad in your heart, but you can’t come back from the dead …”

“Bang!”

The crystal ashtray smashed heavily under Ai Wei Wei’s feet, shocking her so much that she covered her chest and took a few steps back. She stared at Huo Yunqi with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief. Was he really going to smash her?

As long as she was a little slower, she would definitely be hit. Just by looking at the traces on the floor, one could tell how painful it would be to be hit!

“Yunqi Huo, are you crazy?” Ai Wei shouted unwillingly.

She did not believe that she could not compare to a dead person!
