Although she was unaware that Huo Sili had someone check the supermarket's surveillance footage, it was highly likely because she confirmed that she had seen Huo Sili at the supermarket that day.
For three consecutive nights, Jiang Qin had nightmares every night.
In her dream, Horstley seemed to have transformed into a gigantic monster, his hand gripping her neck, his cold and ruthless words escaping his lips one by one.
His words about accompanying her during her abortion, his previous statement that they would never have children together, and the numerous hurtful things he had said to her that she had overheard—all those words that had truly wounded her.
This includes, but is not limited to, the time Huo Sili responded to Wen Chen at the entrance of a private room in a club in northern Beijing, saying that he had stopped liking her a long time ago.
In fact, the content of dreams is completely illogical, and in fact, it seems particularly absurd because it is so illogical.
But what makes nightmares so disgusting is that the physical pain felt at that time can be retrieved again from the memory box.
That night, Jiang Qin woke up in the middle of the night again.
Because of this delay, I couldn't get up again at the usual time to wake up the next day.
Aunt Zhou was a little worried. She had also heard from the mixed-race bodyguard Carlos that Jiang Qin seemed to have met someone she didn't want to see at the shopping mall that day. In short, something was clearly wrong.
They became even more worried.
But he didn't call her. Instead, he waited for Jiang Qin to wake up on her own. After she washed up and went to the dining table, she had almost finished breakfast. Then he observed Jiang Qin's expression, subtly brought up the matter, and asked her with concern.
"Miss, have you been feeling unwell these past few days?"
"If there's anything you're worried about, you can talk to me about it. Maybe I can help you relieve your worries—you're pregnant now, and keeping this to yourself isn't good for your health."
Aunt Zhou was genuinely worried about Jiang Qin. She didn't know her ex-husband had oligospermia before, and she always thought there was something wrong with her own body. In order to get pregnant, she read a lot of books and learned a lot about pregnancy and childbirth.
Although it's regrettable that fate played such a cruel joke on her, that knowledge won't disappear from her mind because of her misfortune—
Aunt Zhou remembers very clearly that if a woman is constantly worried, anxious, or uneasy during pregnancy, it can lead to miscarriage if it gets too serious.
Secondly, even if the pregnant woman is physically strong and the situation is not as serious as described above, there is still a high probability that she will damage her liver due to excessive thinking, and develop nodules or similar things.
In addition, hormonal changes during pregnancy can stimulate nodule growth...
During pregnancy, medications that control the growth of nodules cannot be taken, and surgery carries a high risk. Doctors usually do not recommend surgery during pregnancy. In short, the appearance of nodules at this time is very unfavorable for pregnant women.
In addition, the suffering after childbirth greatly increases the likelihood of developing conditions like mastitis.
The area was inflamed, and you can imagine how uncomfortable it must have been. Aunt Zhou still remembers her immediate feelings after learning about that information; they were quite complex.
So at that time, she was trying to conceive while resisting the pressure from her in-laws, and she was also constantly giving herself psychological counseling, for fear that if she got pregnant one day, she would cause the nodules to come out, and then she would be the one to suffer.
Jiang Qin was good to her, so Aunt Zhou was naturally thinking of her in return. Therefore, even though saying these words might make Jiang Qin think something, Aunt Zhou still said them.
“I…I’m fine, Aunt Zhou.” But it didn’t seem to work.
Jiang Qin glanced at her and replied with this sentence.
Aunt Zhou was a little disappointed, but she also expressed her understanding, "Okay, then..."
"Yes."
The two sentences were uttered almost simultaneously.
Aunt Zhou was slightly taken aback, and when she met Jiang Qin's pretty face with her eyes wide open, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Alright, Miss, I... I thought you didn't want to talk to me, so I thought, if you don't want to talk, then fine, please tell me?"
Jiang Qin was also slightly stunned, but she naturally understood what Aunt Zhou was thinking just now.
She smiled faintly and glanced outside again.
"Shall we talk in the study?"
A small duty room was set up for Carlos outside. During this time, I learned more about him and found out that Carlos seemed to have been learning martial arts since he was a child.
The other party was indeed a man, and according to Jiang Qin's current understanding, his background seemed to differ somewhat from what she knew during the interview and from his resume.
She didn't want too many people to know about her affair with Horst, so it was better to find a room and talk about it behind closed doors.
The study was quiet. Jiang Qin closed the door and briefly told Aunt Zhou about the people Shang Chao had met that day.
She then recounted some past events between herself and Horstley.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou's face turned indignant.
"This, this... this, thank goodness you came out, Miss. This, this man is not a real man."
Aunt Zhou was furious when she heard this.
He immediately understood why Jiang Qin hadn't been sleeping well these past few days; it would be strange if she could sleep well now.
After all, I just heard from the young lady that the man has extraordinary power and a very high status. If you are in love with someone like that, you can overcome all difficulties and he can protect you.
But if you want to escape from the other person, it will be extremely difficult.
Having finally escaped from the other person, Aunt Zhou put herself in their shoes and found it terrifying.
If a man who distrusts his lover like this finds out that the woman is pregnant with his child and fakes her death, what will happen to her if he finds her?
Clearly, Aunt Zhou, having received only a few fragments of information, had already imagined Huo Sili as a controlling bastard and was even more wary of him than Jiang Qin was.
“Miss, you should probably stay home for a while. Just bear with it—he’s here on a business trip and will probably be back in the country in a month or two. Then you can go out again,” Aunt Zhou suggested.
Jiang Qin went to the shopping mall three days ago because she hadn't had a chance to explore the area since she'd been there. Plus, a project she was working on had finally been completed, and she wanted to get out and connect with the outside world and experience life.
After this incident, she naturally didn't dare to go out for a while.
He quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, I won't go out. If I do go out, I'll... disguise myself."
"That's good." Aunt Zhou felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Upon learning all this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Qin when he looked at her.
"Miss, you've been wronged these past few days."
Jiang Qin was a little confused by Aunt Zhou's pitying and caring gaze. Then she realized what Aunt Zhou was worried about her, smiled faintly, and shook her head gently.
"It's okay, it's all over now."
All gone with the wind.
Clearly, someone didn't want her to go with the wind.
At the same time, the local branch office president's office.
Huo Sili was replying to emails when He Xu entered. Huo Sili almost instantly stopped typing and looked up at him.
To He Xu, her eyes seemed somewhat pleading.
He Xu was completely stunned, but he quickly realized that Huo Sili wasn't eager for him to come, but rather eager for the news he might bring.
"Mr. Huo, you want to ask if we've found any information about the woman in the surveillance footage, right? Well, the situation regarding that woman is still under investigation..." There's no news yet.
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Sili's gaze abruptly shifted away from He Xu as soon as he uttered the words "still investigating." The movement was swift, without lingering for even half a second.
He Xu: "..."
I have mixed feelings, but I have to keep doing my job.
He stepped forward, neatly placed the documents he was holding on the table, and shared some information about the project's progress before turning to leave.
It's quite a coincidence.
Just as He Xu was about to step out the door, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Huo Sili paused as he resumed typing, his gaze shooting straight at him like a flashlight in the dark.
He Xu felt a burning sensation on his back. When he turned around, he met Huo Sili's expectant gaze once again.
"..." He quickly took out his phone to look at it, and his eyes widened as he swiped to answer the call.
"Hello, yes, did you find any information?"
Behind the desk, Huo Sili jumped up from his executive chair, quickly walked around the long mahogany desk, and strode over to He Xu.
He Xu simply pressed the speakerphone button, and then he heard the news that Huo Sili wanted to hear.
but……
"We found some information, but when we looked deeper, it seemed like we couldn't find much more..."
That's what I meant.
He Xu, who had once worked as an assassin abroad, keenly sensed something and his expression became somewhat strange.
Clearly, Horst realized something as well. He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
Immediately reply to the other party in English: "Send over what you found now."
"Mr. Huo?" The man on the other end of the phone recognized Huo Sili's voice and was very shocked.
He didn't dial the wrong number. Isn't this Assistant He's number? Why is Mr. Huo talking to him?
However, the man quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly agreed.
The compiled materials were quickly sent to He Xu's email address, and He Xu promptly forwarded them to Huo Sili.
Huo Sili quickly returned to his desk, faced the computer screen, and without even sitting down, opened the email as fast as he could.
