Chapter 3522 We are in Big Trouble 2
“Are you a pig? Do you have to ask? Our son has a date with his girlfriend.”
Zhu Lingling reminded her husband.
“I just don’t believe my son would prefer spending time with his girlfriend over bonding with his dad,” Gao Ran said while stealing a glance at Gao Boyuan.
“Dad, you’re wrong.”
Gao Ran: “…”
Zhu Lingling laughed. “Hahahaha! This is hilarious. Son, you’re right.”
“Mom, are you making soup? I smell something’s burning,” Gao Boyuan pointed out.
“Oh, I forgot it. My goodness…”
She dashed into the kitchen.
Gao Boyuan glanced at his dad sitting across from him.
“Chief Gao, give me 200 yuan.”
“For what?”
“I want to buy Super Wings.”
“How much is one?” Gao Ran asked curiously.
“79 yuan for one.”
“Why did you ask for 200?” Gao Ran teased his son.
“I can’t just buy a toy for myself. I want to buy a police car for myself and a fire truck for Little Bean. She likes the pink one.”
“Okay. Even if you buy two, it will be 158 yuan, right?”
“With the remaining 42 yuan, I plan to buy a Haagen-Dasz for Little Bean.”
“42 yuan is only enough for one scoop. How about you?”
“I don’t need it. I’ll only buy one for Little Bean.”
“Son… you’re so good to your girlfriend,” Gao Ran lamented in resignation.
“Dad, give me the money now. Mom will be back any second.”
“Are you afraid your mom’s going to scold you?” Gao Ran grinned slyly as he pulled out 200 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Gao Boyuan.
“No. I’m afraid Mom will scold you.”
“Why? It’s not me who’s taking the money.” Gao Ran didn’t follow his son’s logic.
“You’re finished if Mom figures out that you kept 200 yuan in your private vault without her knowing about it…” Swiftly, Gao Boyuan stuffed the money into his pants pocket.
“Okay. Son, you win.”
Gao Ran realized his son had amazing logical reasoning despite his young age.
After all, he had been playing with the super-smart twins and had picked up something from them.
Not to draw unnecessary attention, Qin Chu drove a Benz SUV and didn’t take any bodyguards, with Huo Mian sitting in the pa.s.senger seat.
At this moment, his cellphone rang.
“It’s Gao Ran,” Huo Mian glanced at the screen and said.
“You answer it for me.”
Huo Mian picked up the cellphone. “Chief Gao, what can we do for you?”
“Huo Mian, you’re with Qin Chu?”
“Yeah.”
“Where are you?”
“We’re on the highway. Mr. Qin’s accompanying me on a business trip.”
“When will you come back?”
“In about two days. What’s up?”
“Give the phone to Qin Chu.” Gao Ran sounded grim.
Since Qin Chu was driving, Huo Mian put the earbuds on him.
“What’s up?” Qin Chu asked.
“Chu, something happened in the psychiatric center.”
“Huo Yanyan died?” Qin Chu guessed.
“It would be great if she died. No, she disappeared.”
“Disappeared?” Qin Chu frowned.
“Yeah. Disappeared.”
“When did that happen?”
“At midnight.”
“How about the surveillance cameras?”
“They were tampered with.”
“She couldn’t have escaped by herself. Someone helped her. Did you ask Shen Mingxi?” The first person that Qin Chu thought of was Shen Mingxi, who had a close relations.h.i.+p with Huo Yanyan.
He knew Shen Mingxi was soft-hearted and might have been fooled by Huo Yanyan’s acting.
“I did. He was surprised. I don’t think it was him,” Gao Ran said.
“Then we’re in big trouble.” Qin Chu’s expression changed instantly.
“Honey, what’s up? Huo Yanyan disappeared?” Huo Mian got a vague idea of what they were talking about but wasn’t certain.
