C854 No One Answered the Phone
"Uncle Huo." Huo Chengzhou had a helpless look on his face. "Do you think they will let me go just because I let go of the past? You should be able to guess how my leg was injured, right? "
Uncle Huo opened his mouth and sighed. "Cheng..."
"Never mind." Huo Chengzhou smiled faintly. "The choice now is not in my hands. Let's take it one step at a time."
Back in his room, Huo Chengzhou did not sleep for a long time.
Because he was thinking about Qiao An going to the piano competition tomorrow morning, he did not disturb her anymore. He found a voice recording of her talking about her sleep story and tried to sleep as he listened.
...
The next morning.
Six o'clock.
Huo Chengzhou finished washing up and left the bathroom. His phone was vibrating on the table.
He walked over to answer the call. It was Qin Jingyang's nervous voice. "Mr Cheng, Shen Anning and Qiao An did not live in Bamboo Listening Pavilion last night, right?"
"No." Huo Chengzhou answered, saying, "They went back after dinner. What's wrong?"
"Did Qiao An tell you what time they arrived?" Qin Jingyang asked again.
Huo Chengzhou thought for a moment. "It should be around 10: 30. She sent me a message when she was almost home."
"That is to say, she didn't send you a message after she got home?"
"Yes, I was dealing with things in the mansion. When I was done with my work, it was already past 11: 00, so I didn't call her." Huo Chengzhou casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's strange." Qin Jingyang's voice came from the other end of the phone. "No one answered my call just now. I'll go to Jinyuan to take a look."
"Maybe he is still sleeping?"
Huo Chengzhou calculated the time. The piano competition started at 9: 30. Qiao An would be able to wake up at 7: 00 a.m. in time.
"Shen Anning and I have agreed to go for a morning jog today." Qin Jingyang had already carried the car keys downstairs. "I will go and take a look."
"Okay." Huo Chengzhou felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he felt that it should be fine.
"How is the situation on your side? Shall we go to the Huo's later?"
"Yes, everything will go according to plan." Huo Chengzhou said.
"Understood," Qin Jingyang replied.
After hanging up Qin Jingyang's phone, Huo Chengzhou also sent Qiao An a message. He told her to call him when she woke up and then went to the living room.
Today, Huo Jingzhou should give an explanation.
...
In Huo Jingzhou's room, he had also gotten up early. He did not receive any messages from the two phones that he wanted. He was frowning as he sent a message.
[What's going on?]
After a moment, the phone came in. The other party said in a suppressed voice, "Boss, we waited for the whole night downstairs. We did not wait for them to come back!"
"What?" Huo Jingzhou furrowed his brows. "Are you sure you didn't take a nap?"
"Of course I'm doing this with a spirit of 12 points. I'm sure he didn't come back." Yes, the man said.
Huo Jingzhou narrowed his eyes. "Got it. Let's go."
It seemed like Huo Chengzhou had come prepared. He had actually predicted it.
However, he wouldn't think that he only had one trump card.
Huo Chengzhou snorted coldly, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the room.
At this moment, Huo Chengzhou, who was in the living room, received a call from Qin Jingyang. "I knocked on their door for a long time, but no one answered. The phone still couldn't be reached, and there was no sound of a bell in the room. Something's not right!"
Huo Chengzhou looked at his phone. It was already past seven o'clock, and there was still no message from Qiao An on the screen.
His heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw Huo Jingzhou walking towards him. The expression on his face was very intriguing.
