My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 1769

Chapter 1769: 1769

“Going to the Huo Family, eh? Are you related to them, miss? Relatives, perhaps?” the taxi driver asked with much interest .

Huo Mian didn’t answer as the image she saw on the video played in her head .

In the video, Zhu Lingling was lying in a dark room, completely unconscious . She looked like she had been drugged and was only wearing a thin nightdress .

The message that accompanied the video said, “Mian, I want to see you at home in half an hour . Or else Zhu Lingling will be raped until the sun comes up, and the video will be posted the next day . Do you want to take a guess as for whether the Gao Family would still want her as their daughter-in-law, or if Gao Ran would still love her?”

Huo Mian’s head felt like it was going to explode as she read on .

She would never let anything happen to Zhu Lingling, she had just gotten married not long ago .

If something terrible happened to Zhu Lingling because of her, she would blame herself for the rest of her life .

“Huo Siqian, don’t do anything rash . I’ll be right over . ” Even if what was waiting for her was a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s cave, she would go without a second thought for Zhu Lingling . But, she did feel guilty for lying to Su Yu again .

“Sir, can you drive faster? I’m in a rush . ”

“It’s right up front, we are almost there . ”

Huo Mian quickly threw down a hundred yuan and got out of the car as soon as it stopped .

It was already ten o’clock at night, and the Huo Family Mansion looked pitch dark, as if it had been abandoned .

After Huo Zhenghai died, Jiang Hong and Huo Siqian became enemies . She then moved back with her parents, leaving Huo Siqian all alone in the big empty mansion .

Huo Siqian, on the other hand, seemed very attached to the place, and he had always thought of the place as his only home .

Huo Mian walked up to the front door, and warily, she rang the bell . To be honest, she was afraid of Huo Siqian .

She had no idea what might happen if she stepped into this house today . But, she had no choice, because she had to rescue Zhu Lingling .

The only thing that this bastard knows is to threaten the people close to me, Huo Mian thought .

The front door opened slowly .

“Miss, you’re back?” To Huo Mian’s surprise, the Huo Family’s housekeeper from before opened the front door .

The housekeeper knew who Huo Mian was, so she was also surprised to see her .

“Where’s Huo Siqian?” Huo Mian asked after the initial shock

“Young Master is in the reading room, he will be right down . I just made dinner! When Young Master said you are coming tonight, I almost didn’t believe him!” The housekeeper welcomed Huo Mian in enthusiastically .

The interior decoration of the mansion looked exactly the same as it used to . As Huo Mian scanned around, she didn’t notice any traces of Zhu Lingling and guessed that perhaps she was locked away somewhere else .

Her observation was interrupted by a series of footsteps . She looked up as Huo Siqian made his way downstairs in a salmon-colored dress shirt .

“Mian, you’re here . ”

“Where’s Lingling?” Huo Mian demanded icily…

Huo Siqian let out a smile . “Don’t worry, she’ll be fine . ”

“I’m here, so you better let her go immediately . ”

“I did, she should be sleeping at home right now . If you don’t believe me, call her . ”

Huo Mian took out her phone immediately and dialed Lingling’s number . Just then when she called, Lingling’s phone was out of service, but now the call went through .

Zhu Lingling picked up the phone and answered drowsily after the third ring .

“Mian…”

“Lingling, where are you?”

“I’m at home, sleeping . ”

“Where is Gao Ran?”

“He’s on a night shift, and he won’t be back till the morning . ”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine? What’s wrong? Why are you calling so late?” Zhu Lingling asked confusedly .

“N-nothing . Go back to sleep . Lock the door, be careful . ” Huo Mian hung up .

“See, I didn’t lie to you, Mian . ”

“Huo Siqian, what the hell do you want?” Huo Mian looked Huo Siqian in the eye as a chill ran down her spine .
