Chapter 854: Chapter 854: She Really Doesn’t Have An Eighty-Year-Old Grandson Chapter 854: Chapter 854: She Really Doesn’t Have An Eighty-Year-Old Grandson Han Luo was already scared out of his wits.
After dealing with those two people, the man walked up to the driver, “Please take a trip with us. Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you, but we have to prevent you from reporting to anyone.”
The driver felt he was incredibly unlucky.
…
In the Humr.
Although Han Luo wasn’t tied up, his body still shook uncontrollably.
Huo Chi had it worse, his hands and feet were bound, even his mouth was sealed, leaving him only able to glare with eyes filled with fear and malice.
As the car traveled deeper into the forested mountains, Huo Chi’s eyes gradually filled with despair.
It’s over!
Could he have encountered an enemy looking to destroy the body and erase all traces?
Eventually, the vehicle stopped on a deserted hillside.
Huo Chi and Han Luo were taken out.
Huo Chi hadn’t yet steadied himself when he felt a breeze from behind; as he instinctively turned his head, a dull pain shot through his knee.
The bone-chilling pain caused his pupils to constrict, and he let out a muffled groan.
He collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, curling up.
His leg was definitely broken!
Han Luo had never seen such a brutal scene and was so frightened that he fell to the ground, sitting in shock.
A few stern, muscular n, without a word, grabbed one person each and threw them into a pre-dug hole.
Then they began to fill the hole with dirt, huffing and puffing as they worked.
Huo Chi, no longer fixated on the pain, belatedly realized that these heartless monsters might be intending to bury him alive??
Han Luo was petrified, just monts ago dreaming of a successful future, and now in the next second, he faced being buried alive; anyone would struggle to co to terms with this.
It wasn’t until the soil almost covered their necks that the n stopped.
The leader tore the duct tape off Huo Chi’s mouth and patted his cheek, “Li said to let you taste what it’s like to be buried alive. Whether you survive or not is up to your fate.”
Huo Chi wore a blank expression, not expecting Li Hanzhou to be so ruthless.
After leaving these words behind, the n drove off in the Humr.
Huo Chi scread, “Don’t go! Co back, I can give you money, as long as you let go…”
However, the vehicle left without a hint of compassion.
Huo Chi was immobilized, with only his head exposed outside, teeth chattering. This was the first ti he’d been so close to death.
Additionally, his leg was broken, and without prompt treatnt, it would lead to endless trouble!
Huo Chi felt a wave of fear.
Since he was young, he had been surrounded by bodyguards whenever he left the house and had never experienced anything like a kidnapping. Now left abandoned in the deep mountains, with no village or store in sight, his survival was uncertain.
He vented his anger on Han Luo, “It’s all because of your lousy idea! If you hadn’t suggested tampering to stop Qiao Yun from going to Tianqi, we wouldn’t have thoroughly enraged Li Hanzhou.”
Han Luo’s situation was no better than Huo Chi’s; pale-faced, he replied, “You agreed to the idea as well.”
Their current predicant had escalated to this point.
If they survived this, forget collaborating again, they would never have anything to do with each other.
Given Huo Chi’s temperant, he’d probably cause trouble for Han Luo at every turn, ensuring he completely disappeared from their circle.
…
anwhile.
After coming down from the mountain, Shen Qi insisted on treating Qiao Yun to a late-night snack.
He claid it was to thank her for all the guidance she had provided, which had helped him solve many difficult problems; by all rights, Qiao Yun was like a half-teacher to him.
It was only natural for a student to invite a teacher for dinner.
So Qiao Yun, suddenly acquiring a student for no apparent reason, saw Shen Qi’s enthusiasm and, not wishing to refuse, agreed to his invitation.
Lu Shiran watched Shen Qi, who was being incredibly attentive to his sister, and said gloomily, “Is it really appropriate for you to be my sister’s student at your age?”
Shen Qi laughed, “What’s inappropriate about it? Lu Ge, let tell you, so of Professor Qiao’s students are much older than .”
Lu Shiran: “…” Who are you calling ‘Ge’?
Shen Qi, who didn’t know what sha was, chattered on, “I heard that once an elderly professor in his eighties insisted on studying under Professor Qiao. He even declared that if he wasn’t accepted as a student, it was fine, he could be the grandson instead.”
Lu Shiran was astounded, “Is it really that exaggerated?”
“That’s nothing.” Shen Qi took a sip of tea and began boasting to the two kids at the dinner table about all the legends surrounding Professor Qiao over the years.
Qiao Yun silently took a bite of her food, feeling sowhat embarrassed by all the praise.
Li Hanzhou listened with interest, a deep chuckle in his throat, “How co I don’t know about us having an eighty-year-old grandson?”
Qiao Yun cast a sidelong glance at Li Hanzhou.
She really didn’t have an eighty-year-old grandson.
Sigh…
Although she was aware of her many legends, this was truly exaggerated.
Professor Qiao was still soone who respected the old and loved the young.
At this mont, a ssage arrived on her phone.
Qiao Yun pulled out her phone and, after seeing the ssage, she inadvertently glanced at Li Hanzhou, who was smiling.
Her eyes were inexplicably touched.
Qiao Yun put away her phone and said nothing, continuing to eat.
The late-night al, bolstered by Shen Qi’s boasting and the support of Lu Shiran and Li Miao, ca to an end, and afterward, they split from Shen Qi and headed towards the villa.
Once they reached the villa, Li Miao and Lu Shiran bid Qiao Yun goodnight and went inside.
Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou walked leisurely towards the house next door.
It was getting late, and Li Hanzhou suggested Qiao Yun go rest.
Qiao Yun didn’t rush into her room but instead beckoned Li Hanzhou with her finger.
Li Hanzhou humd softly, his voice tinged with laughter, “Do you need sothing?”
When the man ca a bit closer, Qiao Yun lifted her little head and quickly pecked his thin lips.
Li Hanzhou was stunned.
Because Qiao Yun was not fond of physical intimacy, her initiations were few and far between, so this truly caught him by surprise.
Qiao Yun’s ears turned red, and she said with a poker face, “It’s not good to cause a death, you know.”
Before Li Hanzhou could respond, she opened her room door intending to go in.
“Wait a mont…”
Li Hanzhou wrapped his arms around Qiao Yun’s slender waist and bent down to kiss her, “That’s hardly enough…”
…
Jiang Family.
As soon as Jiang Jing entered, Jiang Shaocheng, who had been anxiously waiting, asked, “Did you get selected?”
Jiang Jing didn’t answer, unusually giving Jiang Shaocheng the cold shoulder as she tiredly said, “Whatever it is, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Jiang Shaocheng watched Jiang Jing go upstairs, dumbfounded, then turned to Xu Qiao, “What’s wrong with Jingjing?”
Xu Qiao said hatefully, “She was set up by soone…”
She recounted everything that had happened that day to Jiang Shaocheng in detail.
“It’s all Qiao Yun’s fault. Jingjing is in this state. True to soone with half the blood of the Su Family, one from that family enraptured Jingjing until she lost all sense, while another has ruined her future prospects.”
Jiang Shaocheng said pointedly, “Isn’t it because she blindly trusted Han Luo that she was manipulated? I had told her to stay away from Han Luo, yet she insisted she had things under control. Is this her idea of control?”
Xu Qiao shut her mouth, inwardly disagreeing with Jiang Shaocheng’s reasoning.
However, she didn’t continue the argunt. After all, she had already made up her mind.
Xu Qiao’s eyes darted around before she tentatively asked, “I rember you have your aunt’s contact information, right?”
