Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Counter the Sche with a Sche
But after he woke up and realized sothing was wrong, he chose to stay put and observe the changes.
Soon, he saw a servant carrying two children one after the other into a car.
The car had an autonomous driving function. After setting the route, the system would manipulate the car to head towards the destination. When the car reached the bridge, the tir on the bomb would detonate, creating a tragic accident of car destruction and death.
Everyone in the car, whether it was him, Han, or Momo, would be blown to pieces.
By then, all the suspicion could easily be directed at him.
Everyone would doubt that, as the security captain by Huo Tingdong’s side, he had turned traitor, kidnapped the two young masters, and caused such a horrific incident!
However, fortunately, Ren Chaoye woke up in ti.
Although he had been hit with a tranquilizer dart, his strong physique allowed him to withstand the dosage. Nonetheless, he had little strength left.
Momo was the first to notice sothing was wrong.
He climbed into the front passenger seat, studied the auto-control system, and paused it.
The car stopped.
He told Han to get out of the car, and the two little ones worked together to drag Ren Chaoye out of the vehicle.
Just as the three of them got out and shut the car door, the car’s automatic cruising system reactivated, and the vehicle continued driving towards the preset destination.
Momo instructed Han to stay in place and look after Ren Chaoye, while he traced the car’s trajectory and chased after it.
However, as the car reached the Stone Bridge, it suddenly exploded.
From a distance, Momo stood and watched helplessly as the car shattered into pieces, blasting a huge hole in the Stone Bridge before plunging down and crashing below.
Momo imdiately understood that this was a preditated murder plot!
In their misfortune, they were fortunate—they had narrowly escaped death.
However, Momo and Han didn’t imdiately return to the villa.
They thought that since soone had designed this plot to kill them, why not use it to their advantage to flush out the mastermind?
Thus, Momo instructed Ren Chaoye to move them to a secure base. At the sa ti, he had Ren Chaoye call Huo Tingdong to report the situation, as he didn’t want Daddy and Mommy to worry.
In the car, the call Huo Tingdong received was from Ren Chaoye.
By then, Ren had regained 50% of his strength. In the call, he gave a concise account of the events, which Huo Tingdong quickly grasped.
In fact, Huo Tingdong and Momo were on the sa wavelength.
The two of them had already identified a suspect in their minds.
After all, who stood to gain the most if sothing happened to those two children?
Following this line of thought, it wasn’t hard to deduce.
Huo Tingdong inspected the scene. He saw the massive hole blown into the Stone Bridge and the car wreckage at the mountain gorge, feeling a sense of lingering fear.
From a young age, there wasn’t much that could scare him.
But at that mont, he was genuinely terrified—and simultaneously relieved.
He was terrified that he had almost lost Han and Momo.
He was relieved that Momo and Han were smart and vigilant enough to escape the disaster.
Next ca anger.
No matter who it was, no matter the person—anyone daring to harm his sons was courting death!
Huo Tingdong regained his composure, returned to the villa, and exchanged a glance with Lin Qi.
The husband and wife were so in sync.
With just one look, Lin Qi understood from his eyes that Han and Momo were safe. She played along, continuing with the ruse.
Ji Xiuyuan, however, was kept completely in the dark from beginning to end!
He protested indignantly, “You two are too much! You should’ve told earlier! I thought I was going to die from fright!”
He sat down on the sofa, puffed up with anger, accusing them of being heartless and cruel, “You two are such drama kings! It’s a pity you’re not actors!”
Lin Qi replied, “We wanted to tell you earlier, but… I was afraid you couldn’t act convincingly.”
Ji Xiuyuan furrowed his brows and said gloomily, “I’m a professional actor, and you’re worried I can’t act? Are you questioning my acting skills?”
Lin Qi responded, “Acting is acting; genuine emotion is genuine emotion.”
Ji Xiuyuan had started his career in period idol dramas. The over-the-top acting style of idol dramas often seed excessive in real life.
Of course, Lin Qi didn’t trust Ji Xiuyuan’s acting abilities.
Ji Xiuyuan felt deeply insulted!
As an actor, having his acting skills doubted was a serious blow!
Lin Qi, striking where it hurt, added, “Besides, your fa didn’t co from acting; you got famous because of your looks.”
Ji Xiuyuan: “…”
Huo Tingdong cut in, “Alright, we’ve told you now. Momo and Han are fine. You can relax.”
Ji Xiuyuan replied, “Then… what’s next? Do we keep acting?”
Huo Tingdong: “Didn’t you say you’re joining a filming crew tomorrow?”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Then… should I leave this afternoon?”
Huo Tingdong: “Mm.”
It beca clear to Ji Xiuyuan that Huo Tingdong found his presence a nuisance.
He didn’t want to overstay his welco either, so he returned to his room, packed up his belongings, and left.
Outside Lin Qi’s room, additional bodyguards were stationed to take shifts guarding around the clock.
anwhile, Huo Tingdong went back to inspect the accident site once more.
The rescue team had descended the mountain and reached the gorge, locating the vehicle’s crash site.
Fortunately, it had snowed the previous evening; otherwise, a wildfire could have easily broken out.
The car was completely obliterated. The rescue team extinguished the flas.
What remained of the car was just its disintegrated fra. No remains or human tissue were detected on board. It was almost unthinkable that, during such a massive explosion, if anyone had been in the car, their bodies would have been blown to smithereens.
Huo Tingdong exchanged a few words with the police, who assured him they would fully cooperate.
Soon, the rescue efforts concluded.
The accident site was sealed off with layers of police tape.
That evening, the police issued a statent: “A vehicle crash occurred in Danxia Mountain. The specific cause of the accident is still under investigation. Three unidentified bodies were discovered at the accident site, suspected to be one adult male and two children.”
This news quickly caused an uproar online.
As everyone knew, Danxia Mountain connected to Fengxian Mountain and was part of Danshan District.
Danshan District was a well-known area for the wealthy.
Many affluent individuals had built luxurious holiday villas in the mountains.
Thus, such a major accident in Danxia Mountain quickly fueled rampant conspiracy theories online.
In particular, netizens uncovered that the president of Huace Group, the Huo Family heir Huo Tingdong, also had property in Danshan District. Moreover, he had two sons from a previous marriage. Consequently, many suspected that the two child bodies found at the accident scene might be the legendary two young masters of the Huo Family!
That night.
Huo Tingdong made a solitary trip back to the Huo Family estate.
Although he already had a suspect in mind, he wanted to investigate carefully and wait for the mastermind to reveal themselves!
If…
If it turned out to be her…
He would never show rcy again!
