The kidnappers surely didn’t notice that the plastic bag holding the food box had the address of the food seller printed on it. From their conversation, that food place was not far from this room. As long as Huo Juren found that shop and came here, it was just a matter of time.
Huo Yawu looked at the confident Shao Pinxi and seemed infected by her spirit, her fear slightly receding.
“Yes! Sister Pinxi is right, I must believe in my brother!”
“That’s right.”
“Sister Pinxi, can we chat?” The silent environment would only breed inner demons.
“Of course.”
Huo Yawu said: “I’ve always felt that you and my brother are very compatible, like you were meant to be together. So when you broke up, I couldn’t accept it for a long time. Sister Pinxi, can you tell me why you and my brother broke up?”
At this, Shao Pinxi fell silent.
“…I’m not even sure anymore.” The reason for their breakup, she could no longer be certain.
The thoughts of being manipulated and abandoned had begun to waver. From the bottom of her heart, Shao Pinxi hoped that what Liang Bizhi said was true – that some misunderstanding between her and Huo Juren had led to their breakup!
“When I see your brother, I hope to get an answer.”
“So, Sister Pinxi, do you still love my brother?” Huo Yawu wanted to confirm.
“…If I could choose, maybe I would choose not to love. Because the word ‘love’ is really heavy. Many times, I almost couldn’t breathe under the weight of this word.” She slowly revealed a smile mixed with bitterness, “I… loved him from the day I met him.”
She only loved him.
Sounds of breaking down the door, shouting, resistance, and falling filled the area outside their imprisonment room.
The iron door opened again, but this time, it wasn’t the hateful kidnappers, but Huo Juren.
“Brother!” Huo Yawu called out happily.
“Ya Wu!” Huo Junren stepped forward, hugging his startled sister. While passing warmth to her, he looked at Shao Pingxi behind her.
Their gazes met, both seeming to have many unspoken words.
“Mr. Huo, is your sister alright?” The police officer responsible for the rescue operation, who had already subdued all the kidnappers, walked in and asked.
