Chapter 105 The man staring at Jiang Qin's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes flashing.
Yuan Lianqing, who had just yelled at the male servant, saw the newcomer and her other hand trembled uncontrollably.
The colored diamonds that were about to be set disappeared silently into the carpet, and the manicurist in charge of the other hand turned pale.
Yuan Lianqing had spent quite a while choosing the colored diamond before she finally picked it out. When she caught a glimpse of the diamond falling to the ground, her brows furrowed immediately. However, before she could get angry, Huo Sili's icy voice rang out first, causing the already eerie atmosphere in the hall to freeze over.
"Mom, brother, you're living a pretty comfortable life."
Huo Chishen's face was expressionless, but his hand holding the teacup clearly paused in mid-air for two seconds before he seemed to realize what was happening. He then put the teacup back on the tea tray and looked over with a concerned yet helpless gaze.
His tone remained as gentle as ever: "Sili, what's wrong?"
Yuan Lianqing glanced at Huo Chishen and almost immediately retorted, "Exactly! What's wrong with you? What do you mean your older brother and I are living a comfortable life? Huo Sili, do you want to curse your own mother for not living a comfortable life?!"
As Yuan Lianqing spoke, her voice grew louder and louder, seizing the moral high ground of filial piety, and she clearly spoke with more confidence.
But Horst's gaze remained unchanged; it was the same as when he entered.
The longer she looked into his gaze, the colder and more frightening it became. When Yuan Lianqing met Huo Sili's dark eyes, she couldn't help but shiver, and her confidence suddenly wavered.
"What, what's going on? Can't we talk this out?"
Yuan Lianqing gestured for the two nail technicians to leave first, then stood up from the sofa and walked towards Huo Sili.
He glanced at Huo Chishen sitting next to him, and then, as if thinking of something, quickened his pace to stand right in front of Huo Sili, very close to him.
However, Huo Sili clearly saw through this behavior. Huo Sili glanced down at his mother standing in front of him, then at Huo Chishen, who was still sitting on the sofa and showed no intention of getting up. He gave a forced smile.
"What's wrong? I should be asking my older brother that—"
"What exactly is it about Qinqin that you, brother, have that would make you have your men kidnap her in broad daylight and lock her in the back of a truck full of dogs?"
Yuan Lianqing's expression changed. "Sili, what are you saying?"
Huo Chi's dark gray-brown pupils narrowed slightly as he met Huo Sili's clearly questioning gaze from a distance.
Huo Sili stepped aside to get past Yuan Lianqing, who was trying to block him from approaching Huo Chishen.
He walked quickly toward the sofa, arriving in front of Huo Chishen in less than a second and a half.
Yuan Lianqing immediately became anxious and ran over in her high heels, seemingly still suffering from the aftereffects of her wheelchair being kicked away. Before she even arrived, she was directing the two male servants waiting beside her.
"Stop the second young master!"
But the two male servants were only a little over 1.7 meters tall. Putting aside their status and position, just looking at their physiques, who would dare to go up against the obviously capable fighter, Holmes?
The two exchanged a glance and didn't dare to go up. Yuan Lianqing cursed them as useless, but it was too late to stop them now.
Bang! !
"Hosley, let go of your older brother!"
Two rather loud voices rang out almost at the same time.
But the former is clearly louder than the latter.
And that was the sound of Huo Chishen being grabbed by the collar and slammed hard onto the coffee table by Huo Sili!
Both of them are over 1.85 meters tall, with Huo Sili approaching 1.9 meters and Huo Chishen being slightly shorter than Huo Sili.
In terms of physique, Huo Chishen's long-term leg problems have forced him to lose his balance during exercise, so his physique is not as good as Huo Sili's.
However, he has maintained upper body training over the years, so although his physique is not as good as Horstley's, it is definitely not bad either.
Horst used at least 80% of his strength to slam it down.
The moment Huo Chishen was lifted up, he instinctively tried to parry, but because Huo Sili was too fast and the force increased too suddenly, he couldn't parry at all.
In the blink of an eye, his entire back, including the arm he instinctively used to brace himself, went numb with pain from the force of Huo Sili's blow.
My vision blurred in waves.
Yuan Lianqing was stunned. Although the two brothers had never gotten along well in the past, Huo Sili would at most say a few words or give Huo Chishen a bad look.
Aside from the time she slapped Jiang Qin and Huo Sili kicked Huo Chishen's wheelchair to vent Jiang Qin's anger, when has he ever actually laid a hand on Huo Chishen? No.
So, did Chi Shen really have Jiang Qin kidnapped, and what his son said earlier was true?
When Yuan Lianqing came to her senses, she saw Huo Chishen lying unconscious on the coffee table, and she was immediately unable to think calmly.
"Hosley, you, how could you possibly do this?!"
Yuan Lianqing hurriedly took out her phone to call a doctor and asked someone to help support Huo Chishen.
Huo Sili stood to one side, coldly watching the anxious and flustered crowd before him.
The doctor arrived quickly, and several medical staff lifted Huo Chishen onto a stretcher. When Yuan Lianqing was about to follow, Huo Sili called out to her to stop.
"Mom, Huo Chishen and I have a question."
Yuan Lianqing frowned, but stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said irritably, "What do you want to ask?"
Hollis looked into his mother's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Am I your biological son, or is Huo Chishen your biological son?"
Yuan Lianqing's expression changed.
……
Yunhai Huafu.
After the meal, Jiang Qin took a walk for a while, but after thinking about it, she still didn't want to delay her schedule.
She was originally scheduled to work today, which is why she planned to go to the embassy this afternoon. But now that Horstley has given her the day off, she is free this morning as well.
Although the afternoon will be delayed, she can go this morning.
Go now, and if you're lucky, you might make it in time.
Of course, she had to rehearse her story with Wang Ma before going.
After all, going to the embassy now would take too much time, so she definitely wouldn't be able to have lunch at Yunhai Huafu.
Secondly, if Huo Sili were to suddenly ask Wang Ma where she had gone, Wang Ma's vague answers would be detrimental to her.
It would be better if she had just given Wang Ma the "correct" answer from the beginning.
With that in mind, Jiang Qin did just that.
Perhaps it was the time she spent dealing with Huo Sili about whether she was pregnant or not that honed her acting skills. She was worried that she might give herself away, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her ability to lie had obviously improved.
There was a temple near the embassy, and Jiang Qin found a reason to go there to pray for blessings and have a vegetarian meal.
Wang Ma used to be the old lady's attendant, and she had become somewhat of a Buddhist since following the old lady. Upon hearing this, and recalling that Jiang Qin had been carried into the house in a princess carry by Huo Sili this morning, she couldn't help but wonder if the two had reconciled.
Now my wife says she's going to the temple to pray for blessings. Is she asking Buddha to bless her and her husband so they can reconcile?
Wang Ma was overjoyed, thinking it was a good omen, and readily agreed.
However, he repeatedly told Jiang Qin to be careful and come back soon before he stopped saying anything more.
Jiang Qin naturally valued safety, but for the sake of future plans, she couldn't let Uncle Yang give her a ride today.
Jiang Qin booked a female driver on the app who had a high number of accepted orders and a high positive review rate.
After packing my things and stepping outside, the car arrived just in time. After confirming the last four digits of my phone number, the car drove to the temple.
Upon arriving at the temple, Jiang Qin got out of the car and took a picture. Using the same method, she hailed another taxi and arrived at the embassy.
At the same time, at Yunhai Huafu, Wang Ma glanced at the license plate number she had photographed on her phone.
She sighed inwardly. She hadn't reminded her once, and the lady had forgotten to send her the taxi's license plate number.
They're still young, and their sense of caution is lacking.
Fortunately, she took a picture at the time! If something really happened, she would know who to contact.
Jiang Qin had just arrived at the embassy when she received a WeChat message from Wang Ma asking if she had arrived at the temple.
Jiang Qin sent the photos she had taken earlier to Wang Ma, telling her not to worry.
Afraid of being bumped into, Jiang Qin typed with one hand and carried her bag with the other. After entering the room, she took the initiative to stand on the side where no one was around.
The message had barely been sent when, although the person wasn't hit, they were being targeted.
A sharp but vaguely suspicious gaze shot over with a clear target.
Jiang Qin keenly noticed this, paused slightly, turned off her phone, and turned her head to look at the person who was looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Qin frowned slightly.
At the same time, the man looking at Jiang Qin's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes flashing.
The person who was speaking respectfully to the man followed his gaze and looked at Jiang Qin. The person stopped talking abruptly and widened their eyes.
