The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 41

Ch 41: Can’t Keep Up the Act

The medical facilities on the island were complete, and the ambulance arrived quickly, immediately starting the first round of rescue.

Fortunately, with the efforts of the medical staff, Fu Zimo regained consciousness and was taken to the ambulance, rushing to the hospital.

Director Qian, upon hearing this news after waking up, breathed a heavy sigh of relief. As long as the person wasn’t dead, that was good. Ultimately, this wasn’t the responsibility of their program, but if it wasn’t handled well, their program might not be able to continue filming!

Director Qian sighed wearily, “Go to the hospital.” He was helped up, and then asked, “Has Feng Xia been found?”

“We’ve already notified people to look for her, but there’s no news yet.”

Director Qian was exhausted and decisively said, “Stop looking, just call the police!”

Running away after hurting someone is clearly fleeing from a crime. Fu Zimo almost died, so Feng Xia is at least guilty of intentional injury, and at worst, attempted murder. Letting their program staff look for her—who would be responsible if something happened?

The person next to him responded and quickly took out his phone to send a notification.

At the same time, the other guests also received a notification from the production crew, briefly explaining what happened, telling them to be wary of Feng Xia, and then announcing the suspension of the live broadcast. As for when the live broadcast would resume, they only said it depended on the situation.

Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows after reading it. Feng Xia lost control so quickly?

Opening Weibo and taking a look at the trending searches, Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but sigh. Fu Zimo really knows how to court death.

Closing Weibo, Gu Qingyin opened the dialogue box with Huo Xingye again. The latest message was a document, detailing the ownership of this small island and the information of the owner of that technological-style villa.

She could guess that the island was a Hengtai property, but what was unexpected was that Huo Corporation was actually behind Hengtai! The person who injected capital to save Hengtai from the brink of bankruptcy back then was actually Huo Xingye!

And the owner of that villa was Qi Zhou, the current CEO of Hengtai.

The document included Qi Zhou’s contact number, and specifically stated that they had already communicated with the other party, so Gu Qingyin could call directly. At the very end, it mentioned: Qi Zhou is very rich.

Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but smile after reading it. Her son is so thoughtful.

The phone was dialed and picked up after only two rings.

“Hello, is this Master Gu?”

A magnetic and pleasant voice came from the phone, with a hint of caution.

“It’s me.” Gu Qingyin went straight to the point, “You should already understand the situation, let’s talk about the Affinity Fee.”

Qi Zhou originally wanted to exchange a few pleasantries, but he didn’t expect the other party to be so focused on money. He smiled and proactively offered a price, “Fifty million, what do you think?” Whether from the matter itself or from the other party’s identity, he felt this price was very reasonable.

Gu Qingyin didn’t expect the other party to quote such a high price, so high that she was embarrassed to continue raising it.

“Then let’s do that.” Gu Qingyin tried to appear calm and collected, “I’ll send you the bank card details later.”

Qi Zhou agreed, smiling and saying, “Then I’ll leave it to Master Gu.”

Hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyin changed into sportswear, packed her satchel, and went out. Before going downstairs, she paused and went to Huo Xinghai’s room.

She just wanted to say hello, as she might be returning very late tonight.

The door wasn’t closed, so Gu Qingyin walked over and knocked on the door. Raising her eyes, she saw Huo Xinghai quickly stuffing something into the blanket.

Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes, only then realizing that there was a faint, almost imperceptible, trace of evil energy lingering in the room.

“What are you doing? You seem so guilty.”

“Nothing.” Huo Xinghai’s acting skills exploded, revealing an embarrassed smile with a hint of shyness.

Gu Qingyin: …If she hadn’t sensed the evil energy, she might have really been fooled.

Huo Xinghai must have gotten some strange things. She didn’t have time to question him carefully now, so she could only pretend she didn’t see it. Anyway, Huo Xinghai had the jade amulet, so he wouldn’t have any major problems in the short term.

“I’m going out for a while.” Gu Qingyin instructed, “Try not to go out at night, and wear the jade amulet close to your body.”

Huo Xinghai’s expression relaxed a little, and he asked with concern, “Where are you going?”

Gu Qingyin smiled, “To make money.”

Huo Xinghai’s eyes flickered slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Gu Qingyin cut him off, “I can’t take you this time, okay? If you’re curious, wait until next time.”

“Why?”

Gu Qingyin didn’t explain in detail, only saying, “The situation is a bit complicated, and I might not be able to take care of you.” She was facing a Ghost Cultivator for the first time, and if something unexpected happened, she wouldn’t even have time to regret it.

Huo Xinghai was unhappy, but he was also afraid of holding her back and implicating her, so he could only nod, “Then be careful yourself.”

Gu Qingyin left, and Huo Xinghai sat by the bed, his heart in turmoil. Just now… she shouldn’t have seen it, right?

It was already dark outside, but the streetlights weren’t on.

Gu Qingyin drove the sightseeing car alone towards the Lin family siblings’ residence, but she hadn’t gone far when a beam of light shone on her face.

Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she didn’t stop the car. Instead, she sped up a little.

“Stop the car!”

A car rushed over from the opposite direction, forcing Gu Qingyin’s car to stop.

Gu Qingyin sat in the car expressionlessly, waiting for the people from the opposite car to get out. Only then did she see that the two people were wearing police uniforms.

The police officer holding the flashlight questioned her with a serious expression, “Why did you run when you saw us?”

Gu Qingyin smiled, “I was driving well on the road, and suddenly someone shone a flashlight in my eyes. What else could I do but run? I’d be in danger if they were robbers.”

The two police officers exchanged glances, not speaking, probably assessing the truth in her words.

Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue, the smile on her face fading, “Can you not shine it on my face?”

The police officer then reacted and quickly moved the beam of light away, “Sorry, it’s a habit.”

Gu Qingyin sized them up, “You’re trainee police officers, right?”

“How did you know?”

Gu Qingyin scoffed, “Clumsy and impolite.”

The police officer holding the flashlight immediately blushed, with shame and a bit of annoyance.

The other police officer said, “Are you a guest on the program? What are you doing out so late?”

“I was bored, so I went to see Lin Tian to see if she was better.” Gu Qingyin paused after speaking, and asked in confusion, “The program crew didn’t say we weren’t allowed to go out, did they? Is the island under lockdown now?”

“No, but Feng Xia still hasn’t been found, so there’s potential danger.”

Gu Qingyin suddenly understood, and then started the car, “Then I have to go quickly, you guys should hurry up and find her.”

The car quickly disappeared into the darkness, and the two trainee police officers looked at each other.

“Will she be in danger?”

“Probably not, she’s pretty alert.”

Gu Qingyin parked the sightseeing car and leisurely walked to the front of the villa gate, but the smart home system’s voice didn’t sound, and the gate didn’t show any signs of opening.

A normal person would probably suspect that there was a problem with the smart home system, but Gu Qingyin looked at the brightly lit small building in the courtyard and suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, “What’s wrong? Can’t keep up the act with the smart home system?”
