Predicament
Currently, A Country and J Country were in a stalemate. Freya and the rest were detained, but of course, Freya and the rest would not wait for those people to catch them. When she received the news, Freya immediately moved to another location, leaving Lan Shaoyu's men empty-handed.
Now, she was most worried about Qiao Qiao's safety.
When Qiaoqiao was in trouble, Adam had sent out a secret signal to ask for help. However, by the time she brought people over, all they saw was a sea of fire and a GPS device that had fallen on the road.
Just when she thought that Qiao Qiao had been caught by Lan Shaoyu and was about to rescue her, the major media outlets spread the news that He Shaochen had rescued Qiao Qiao and successfully shifted the blame to Family He.
In an instant, Family He had become the target of public criticism.
Freya thought of Father He.
"Oh, how rare. You actually took the initiative to call me." Father He's words were full of ridicule.
Although he tried his best to hide it, Freya could still hear the tiredness in Father He's voice. These days, he had to face the doubts of the outside world and the crazy attacks from within the family. He must be exhausted both physically and mentally.
Freya could not help but ask, "How have you been?"
"Hmm?" Father He was stunned and seemed a little surprised. After two seconds, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm just an idle person. But you, A Country is looking for you everywhere. Why are you suddenly calling me instead of running away? "
"After all, we've been friends for more than 20 years. Can't I show some concern for you?"
Freya was unhappy.
But all she got was a dry laugh.
When she heard the slightly tired laughter, she could not help but sigh and say, "If there's anything I can help with, don't hesitate to tell me. If I can help, I'll definitely …"
Without waiting for her to finish, Father He said, "What could possibly happen to me? Even if he's a traitor, that's He Shaochen's problem alone. That brat from the Lan Family can't do anything to me. "
'Really?'
Freya thought of the rumors of defeating his Clan that were spreading like wildfire outside. Many indignant youths were paraded on the streets. When they saw the stores of his Clan's companies, they didn't care about the consequences and wanted to smash them first. Many companies that cooperated with his Clan also withdrew their investments like fence-sitters. Today's his Clan was no longer the same as before. They were like paper tigers.
"He Guanrui, if there's anything I can do, please don't hide it from me."
Freya said solemnly.
Father He nodded and smiled. "I got it. But you, where are you now? Now that the border is sealed, it won't be easy for you to leave the country. Do you need my help?"
"Don't meddle in my affairs anymore. If you're discovered again, his Clan will really be finished."
"Haha."
When Freya heard that Father He's voice seemed to be a little clearer, she was relieved. She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "This time, we've caused trouble for your family. If I could remind Lilith more, things wouldn't be so bad, and his Clan wouldn't be criticized."
Perhaps his Clan was already under attack, but He Shaochen's act of saving Qiao Qiao undoubtedly worsened his Clan's crisis.
Father He shook his head and let out a long sigh. "Why are you apologizing? Qiao Qiao is Shaochen's wife and also Sichu's mother. How could he not save her? I don't blame him. His Clan has long been a tall tree that attracts the wind. His Clan is also full of vermin. When I took over, there were already clues. When Shaochen took over his Clan, he was also very clear about this. That's why he thought of cooperating with Lan Shaoyu back then. But he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape this disaster. "
Freya didn't speak anymore.
It was an unchanging law since time immemorial.
Even the Charlie Royal Family had experienced glory and disgrace.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. If we talk for too long, I'm worried that those people will follow the vine to find the melon. There are several powerful hackers on the Lan Family's side, and the kid from the An Family is also there."
"Alright then, I'll hang up first. I'll contact you after I successfully leave A Country with Lilith."
"Alright."
After Freya hung up the phone, Father He was still staring at the phone thoughtfully. He closed his eyes and a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes. Then, he sighed and destroyed all the chat records. He took out the SIM card and forcefully broke it into two.
Then, he walked out of the room.
Outside the He Residence.
A man dressed in a black suit, meticulously dressed as an elite, looked at Father He with a smile and said, "Mr. He, is everything done?"
Father He's expression was calm. He looked at the person calmly and said, "Alright, let's go."
"I like people like Mr. He who are straightforward." The man smiled. The subordinate behind him walked forward and handcuffed Father He's wrist accurately. The man said, "Actually, we don't want to do this. But someone reported Mr. He for colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. We can only do things according to procedure. Invite Mr. He to stay with us for a few days. When we investigate the truth of the matter, we will definitely give Mr. He justice."
No one would believe this kind of excuse.
Father He's gaze fell on He Shao Qiu, who was standing not too far away. He saw a cold smile flash across the man's eyes. He quickly retracted his gaze and said flatly, "Thank you for your trouble."
After Father He was arrested, He Shao Qiu looked at the car that slowly drove away and sneered thoughtfully, "Your father was arrested too. Let's see if you'll hand over that woman!"
…
"Mr. He!"
Qin Dong hurriedly rushed over and whispered into He Shaochen's ear.
He Shaochen's expression suddenly changed.
Qiao Qiao, who was sitting by the bed, saw the drastic change in He Shaochen's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao again. He put the peeled apple into the fruit bowl and said calmly, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry."
Qiao Qiao had been with He Shaochen for so long. How could she not understand him? He must be hiding something from her. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said a little desolately, "I know I'll only cause trouble for you. It's okay if you don't tell me."
He Shaochen heard her and said, "It's really nothing. Don't worry."
Qiao Qiao smiled. "En."
Clearly, she didn't believe him.
He Shaochen then said, "Oh right, the fire is under control. When our people went to the scene, they didn't find Adam's whereabouts. Maybe it's just as you said. Adam isn't dead. He's just being held back by something."
When she heard about Adam, Qiao Qiao couldn't care less about the desolation she felt earlier. Her eyes flashed brightly as she grabbed He Shaochen's hand and asked, "Do you think Adam might still be alive?"
Did she instantly perk up at the mention of Adam?
He Shaochen didn't know what to feel when he saw Qiao Qiao's bright eyes filled with anticipation. He had hurt her so many times and rejected her so many times. What reason did she have to be jealous and dissatisfied?
