Chapter 117 Huo Shaoting's Keen Insight
Qin Yingxue stared intently at him without blinking, her hands instinctively making a defensive gesture.
Huo Shaoting's once captivating peach blossom eyes had lost their former allure, replaced by a sharp, cold glint.
Just as the two were about to collide, Qin Yingxue was about to step back when Huo Shaoting suddenly stopped.
The two were only two fists apart. Qin Yingxue could clearly see the light reflected in his deep pupils, and then noticed that his nostrils twitched.
Qin Yingxue quickly held her breath and saw Huo Shaoting frown slightly, his eyes searching around. Then he frowned again, a puzzled expression on his face, and slowly turned to leave.
Just as Qin Yingxue was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Huo Shaoting suddenly turned around, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
Qin Yingxue almost choked, and glared at him fiercely.
Huo Shaoting suddenly reached out and touched his forehead. After confirming that his temperature was normal, he gave a wry smile, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Once she was sure he was really gone this time, Qin Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was terrified!
Being so close to Huo Shaoting, she thought he had spotted her.
She said that the invisibility pills produced by the mall could not possibly be so easily detected.
Qin Yingxue patted her chest, about to leave, but out of curiosity, she decided to follow and see.
She always felt that Huo Shaoting was more perceptive than the average person.
His reaction just now was especially precise.
At one point, when their eyes met, Qin Yingxue thought he had discovered her.
Qin Yingxue hurriedly followed, but she was too late. She only managed to see Huo Shaoting get into the car and leave.
Moreover, the car he was in this time was not the same one as last time, and the direction he went was not the military exit.
Qin Yingxue shrugged helplessly, and seeing that it was getting late, decided to go home.
In the car, Huo Shaoting held several documents in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly not focused on them.
Pei Xiang noticed Huo Shaoting's unawareness in the rearview mirror and asked with concern, "Young Master Huo, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the information?"
Huo Shaoting snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
He always felt that he had missed something while he was in the underground base.
Especially that light, faint scent—it was definitely not an illusion.
But it was too fast; by the time he tried to catch it again, it had already vanished without a trace.
Vanished without a trace...
Huo Shaoting clasped his hands together, a thoughtful expression on his face.
If there really were such a person in the world, someone who could not be seen or caught, that would be absolutely terrifying.
The rammed monkey attack is one example, and there are others...
But if someone asked him, "Are there demons and monsters in this world?" he would definitely deny it.
Therefore, the idea just now was simply absurd!
Huo Shaoting took a deep breath, forcing himself not to think any further. He looked down at the documents in his hand, and when Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue's names appeared on them, his expression froze for a moment before turning serious.
After quickly reviewing the information, Huo Shaoting's furrowed brows remained furrowed for a long time.
Although I had suspected it beforehand, seeing it with my own eyes still filled me with a complex and indescribable feeling.
Huo Shaoting involuntarily closed his eyes, his face instantly darkening.
Pei Xiang glanced at Huo Shaoting in the rearview mirror with some concern, then thought for a moment before speaking, "Commander Song is arresting Wu Tianba and his men in Xinli Town; they've already laid an ambush..."
"There's no need to report anything about Battalion Commander Song and Miss Qin anymore." Huo Shaoting coldly interrupted Pei Xiang before he could finish speaking.
"Yes." Pei Xiang quickly shut his mouth.
She glanced at Huo Shaoting through the rearview mirror and saw that he still had his eyes closed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yingxue slept until eleven o'clock, then got up and prepared lunch for Zhu Huiwen. After lunch, Qin Yingxue took the food she had prepared to the small fishing village.
Bai Haijian looked much better after a night's rest. When Qin Yingxue arrived, he was drying fishing nets with Yang Weijun and Xiao Haifeng.
Seeing that Qin Yingxue had brought food, the three of them looked embarrassed.
Qin Yingxue invited them to eat, and after setting out the food, she saw them eating with relish and couldn't help but smile as she quietly watched them eat.
"Auntie, I plan to go out to sea with Boss Hai's fishing boat after my injuries have healed." After finishing his meal, Bai Haijian told Qin Yingxue about his plans.
Qin Yingxue was a little surprised: "Didn't you make some money before? You should take good care of yourself and spend more time with Xiao Haifeng. There's no rush to go to sea."
"Auntie, I'm really not afraid!" Bai Haijian said to Qin Yingxue with a determined look. "I have to earn more money before winter comes to renovate the house and buy two sets of winter clothes... We are really short of money at home."
Bai Haijian's biggest wish is to buy a fishing boat. He knows he definitely won't be able to save enough this year, so he'll have to wait until next year.
"Then you have to promise me you won't go to dangerous places in the deep sea. If it happens again, I won't be able to control you, and I'll have to let your Uncle Song take care of you."
Qin Yingxue looked at Bai Haijian with mixed feelings, but she still had to make the necessary threats.
After all, he is too young now, and I'm afraid he won't listen to advice and will risk his life again.
Otherwise, having just gone through a brush with death, why would they be thinking about making money instead of taking a few days to recover?
It's all because of poverty!
"Auntie, please don't tell Uncle Song..." Bai Haijian still respected Song Yanchuan from the bottom of his heart, and he quickly stopped him upon hearing this.
"Do you think your Uncle Song wouldn't know when he comes back after this incident has caused such a big stir?" Qin Yingxue saw Bai Haijian's face turn pale as soon as he heard Song Yanchuan's name, and felt both amused and a little sad.
Bai Haijian shut his mouth.
"Alright, your Uncle Song isn't someone who can't distinguish right from wrong. As long as you take good care of yourself and Xiao Haifeng, he definitely won't stop you." Qin Yingxue chuckled and patted his head.
Bai Haijian then stopped crying and smiled, looking at Xiao Haifeng with pride in his eyes.
Now that he can earn money and takes good care of his younger brother, Uncle Song definitely won't say anything to him.
Yang Weijun still refused to go back to the army with Qin Yingxue. Qin Yingxue couldn't force him, so she could only subtly remind him, "Your uncle should be arriving soon, right? There's no use running away; you'll have to face it eventually."
Last time when they went shopping in town, Qin Yingxue wanted to take him to see Yang Hongbin, but Yang Weijun disagreed. Qin Yingxue felt that her interference seemed to have made the relationship between the father and son even more distant.
Hearing Qin Yingxue say this, Yang Weijun remained stubbornly silent. Instead, Bai Haijian spoke up, "Weijun, you're all grown up now and can make your own decisions. If you really don't want to go back with your uncle, you can tell them what you think. Whether they listen to you or not is their business. How you choose to live and what you do is your business, understand?"
At the end, Bai Haijian gave Yang Weijun an encouraging smile.
Yang Weijun immediately understood and said to Qin Yingxue, "Auntie, I'll go back with you."
