Chapter 474: Aunt

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu did not know if it was just her imagination.

She sensed a trace of danger in Huo Xunzhou’s tone.

Lin Shanchu had made a tableful of sumptuous dishes, and Huo Xizhen had a childish personality, so it was inevitable for her to eat more.

“I’m full,” Huo Xizhen complained to Huo Chaosheng as she felt a little uncomfortable.

Huo Chaosheng patiently helped Huo Xizhen out as he said, “Let’s go out for a

walk.”

Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the dining room.

Lin Shanchu quickly put down the chopsticks and seized the opportunity to ask Huo Xunzhou, “You came alone? How did you get here?”

“I came alone. I flew a helicopter here,” Huo Xunzhou methodically answered her question in detail.

“You flew what?” Lin Shanchu thought that she had misheard him.

“A helicopter, ” Huo Xunzhou repeated after pausing for two seconds. Lin Shanchu blinked as she asked, “You know how to fly a helicopter?”

“I didn’t know I could fly a helicopter before today.” Huo Xunzhou had a complicated expression on his face.

“What do you mean?” Lin Shanchu was a little confused.

“Number 1357,” Huo Xunzhou reminded her.

He had turned the entire city upside down without any rest or sleep, but he still could not find Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu.

He gradually realized that he might have been heading in the wrong direction.

Therefore, he investigated Huo Chaosheng’s history again and found out that he had bought a mountain a few years ago.

There was a forest park not far from Capital City, and the habitat of wild animals was located in the deeper parts of the forest without further development.

Huo Zhuxiu had always granted Huo Chaosheng’s every request. Since Huo Chaosheng wanted to buy a mountain, Huo Zhuxiu would naturally try his best to get it for him.

As long as a person lived in this world, it was impossible for them to leave no traces.

If they did not find it, it was only because they hid it well.

After checking the map, Huo Xunzhou made a plan and planned the route.

In the end, he inexplicably flew a helicopter and came alone.

Realization dawned on Lin Shanchu as she asked, “Did Number 1357 control you as well?”

She had thought it was strange just now as she had never heard of Huo Xunzhou flying a helicopter before.

“As well?” Huo Xunzhou caught the key word in her words.

Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to push all the blame to Number 1357. “Yes, I was brought here by Huo Chaosheng. It’s all thanks to Number 1357.”

“After you went missing, Number 1357 also went missing.” Huo Xunzhou’s tone darkened.

Lin Shanchu snorted. “He must have done something wrong, so he went hiding because of fear.”

She recalled what Huo Xizhen had just said and asked, “Who is Ah Fu?”

“My mother’s full name is Yun Fule, and her nickname is Ah Fu.” Huo Xunzhou’s tone sounded deeper than before.

Huo Xizhen knew Huo Xunzhou’s mother.

Lin Shanchu’s lips squirmed, but she did not continue asking further questions.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly reached out and held Lin Shanchu’s face, carefully examining it inch by inch.

Lin Shanchu obediently let him hold her face and complained to him.

“Huo Chaosheng hasn’t done anything to hurt me these past two days, other than giving me instant food and lunchboxes, locking me up, and waking me up early in the morning to cook meals.

“I almost forgot. He drugged me the afternoon before yesterday and brought me here after I passed out. There are wild wolves in the mountains out there.

He deliberately let me out to scare me…”

She clearly explaining all the grievances she had suffered like a child.

Huo Xunzhou smiled and pulled her into his arms.

“I understand.’

Lin Shanchu’s anxiety was completely soothed.

After thinking carefully for a moment, she finally remembered something.

“Huo Chaosheng even threatened to kill me.”

The aura of the man, who was slightly relaxed, suddenly changed.

“What else did he say?” Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice.

Lin Shanchu thought about it carefully.

Huo Chaosheng did not seem to have gotten any benefits from her in the past two days.

She forced Huo Chaosheng to wash vegetables and dishes and threatened him with Huo Xizhen.

Even she felt that she was a little too arrogant as a imprisoned victim.

“He is probably of afraid of you. He didn’t say anything overboard after that.” Lin Shanchu silently omitted the arrogant deeds she had done.

Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a while before leading Lin Shanchu out.

When they reached the living room, Huo Chaosheng was about to take Huo Xizhen upstairs to get some rest.

Huo Xizhen had the habit of taking a nap after lunch.

Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng looked at each other across the room.

Neither of them said anything, but they understood each other’s thoughts.

Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa and waited for a while before Huo Chaosheng came down.

Huo Chaosheng looked calmly at Huo Xunzhou and spoke with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

“I thought that I could hold on for a few more days at first, but I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly.”

“Today is the third day.”

For Huo Xunzhou, three days was not a short time.

“But I’ve been preparing for more than three years for these three days,” Huo Chaosheng said lazily.

“This should have ended long ago,” Huo Xunzhou said indifferently.

Lin Shanchu was a little confused as she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.

She did not quite understand what Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were talking about.

The expression on Huo Chaosheng’s face also faded.

“She doesn’t take a long nap in the afternoon. Let’s wait until she wakes up.”

Lin Shanchu understood what he meant this time. He was referring to Huo Xizhen.

It was because there were only four of them in this remote house, and only Huo Xizhen was taking an afternoon nap upstairs.

Huo Xunzhou fell silent in acquiescence.

Lin Shanchu was puzzled, but she did not ask further questions. She just felt a little bored and reached out to grab Huo Xunzhou’s hand.

As soon as she grabbed Huo Xunzhou’s hand, he grabbed her hand in return.

“Do you feel cold?” Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou in surprise.

Huo Xunzhou’s hands were cold.

Huo Xunzhou shook his head at her and clasped her hand more tightly.

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and depressing.

“Go and clean up the dining room before she wakes up, ” Lin Shanchu ordered Huo Chaosheng in the depressing atmosphere.

Although she was about to leave, she could not bear to see Huo Chaosheng eat the food she cooked for free without washing the dishes. Otherwise, he would get off easy.

Huo Chaosheng glared at Lin Shanchu and really got up to clean up the dining room.

Lin Shanchu smiled smugly, but when she looked up, she met Huo Xunzhou’s deep gaze.

“Huo Chaosheng is done cleaning the dishes,” she said as her smile faded. “His mother should be awake by now.”

Huo Xunzhou smiled faintly and pinched her cheek.

Lin Shanchu could feel that he seemed unhappy.

She leaned into his arms and did not ask any further questions.

After a while, there was movement from upstairs. Huo Chaosheng had also come out of the dining room.

“Are you guys chatting?” Huo Xizhen asked with a smile when she saw that everyone was there.

Lin Shanchu felt the large hand holding her palm was tightening forcefully. It was obvious that the owner of the large hand had lost control of his emotions at this moment.

The next second, she heard the man beside her say in a deep voice, “Aunt, I’m

Xunzhou.. Don’t you remember me?”
