Chapter 364: No Matter who I see.
Chapter 364
It had been a long time since Huang De Han had shown up, but her hatred for him hadn't diminished one bit.
Huo Jian Sheng looked at the run-down neighborhood in front of him, his gaze becoming sharper. He said in a deep voice, 'It's just a guess, but the possibility is very high. Besides Huang De Han, I can't think of anyone else Duo Duo would come here to see.'
Yes, Duo Duo didn't have any friends or classmates here, so why did she run here?
Apart from seeing Huang De Han, Li Man couldn't think of anyone else Duo Duo would come to meet.
Meeting an online friend?
That was also a possibility.
But no matter who Duo Duo came to meet, it had to be taken seriously.
Meeting an online friend was even worse!
She was just a young girl, twelve years old. After the Lunar New Year, she would turn thirteen. Would a thirteen-year-old girl go to meet an online friend?
Just thinking about this possibility gave Li Man a shiver.
No, they had to find out who she went to meet.
Li Man held Huo Jian Sheng's hand and said, 'Let's go home. I must find out today who she went to meet.'
Huo Jian Sheng held Li Man back and said, 'Don't get worked up. If you ask her directly, she won't tell you.'
Li Man asked anxiously, 'Then what should I do? I can't just ignore it, right?'
Huo Jian Sheng reassured her, 'Definitely can't ignore it. Here's what we'll do: I'll have someone keep watch here. If Huang De Han really lives here, he'll definitely come out.'
Li Man gave Huo Jian Sheng an appreciative look and said, 'You always come up with a solution.'
Huo Jian Sheng took out his phone and called Awei.
Awei had been searching for Huang De Han in Shenzhen City, but as soon as he heard that Huang De Han might have come to Ancheng City, he quickly flew over with a few of his brothers.
They couldn't let him escape this time!
Awei thought to himself. He had been in this line of work for so long, and no one had ever escaped from under his nose. Huang De Han was the first, and it was a disgrace for him. He had to wash away that shame!
...
Meanwhile, Huang Duo Duo hurriedly ran back to the neighborhood and bumped into Zhang Yan, who had just come back after buying sugar-coated haws.
Zhang Yan saw Duo Duo running out and asked in surprise, 'Duo Duo, why did you come out?'
Duo Duo was so nervous that she stuttered, 'I, I...'
She was on the verge of tears.
Oh, why was everything going wrong today...
Seeing Duo Duo's red, frozen nose, Zhang Yan felt sorry for her and said, 'Come on, let's go home first. Look how cold you are. Are you feeling cold?'
Saying that, Zhang Yan stepped forward and hugged Duo Duo's shoulder.
The two of them returned home. Zhang Yan took off her coat and hung it in the hallway before asking, 'Duo Duo, why did you run out? It's so cold outside.'
Duo Duo hung her head, resembling a child who had done something wrong. She stuttered, 'I... I was bored at home... so I ran out...'"
Seeing Huang Duoduo in such a frightened state, Zhang Yan gently embraced her and comforted, "Don't be afraid. Grandma isn't scolding you; she's just concerned about you. Look, Grandma has bought you some candied hawthorn skewers. There are strawberry ones, hawthorn ones, and even yam bean ones. They're all for you; Grandma won't eat them."
Saying that, Zhang Yan handed the candied hawthorn skewers she had bought to Huang Duoduo.
Huang Duoduo looked at the candied hawthorn skewers handed to her by Zhang Yan, deeply moved, and sniffled as she said, "Thank you, Grandma."
