“I burned it…” Patiently, Mr. Qin repeated.

“Why did you do that? If you don’t like it, just tell me. I’d give it to my mom…”

“I’ll explain it when we’re out of here.”

Afraid to be overheard in the crowded room, Qin Chu didn’t speak more about it and just bundled his own coat around Huo Mian.

Then, he walked her out of the hospital with his arm around her shoulders.

“Deputy Director’s husband loves her so much.”

“Yeah. He cares for her so much that he even helps her with surgeries. My goodness, I so envy her.”

After they left, some young nurses chatted among themselves.

“Honey, where’s your car?”

Huo Mian looked around but didn’t see Qin Chu’s car.

“I left it downtown… Let’s leave in the RV.”

Holding Huo Mian’s hand, Qin Chu helped her into the RV.

“Now can you tell me why you burned my coat so randomly?”

“Mian, someone tampered with your coat.”

“Huh? Who did it?” Huo Mian froze.

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if Huo Siqian’s hirelings did it… I’m investigating it.”

“What did they do with my coat that made you burn it?”

“Someone poisoned it…”

“I came out home in this coat; how could they have the chance to poison it? Wait… In the changing room… Did the on-duty nurse do it?” Huo Mian guessed.

“I don’t think so. If she did it, she wouldn’t have waited there to get investigated if something happens,” Qin Chu said as he recalled the scene in the changing room.

“You’re right. But how did you know about it?”

“I was afraid you would walk into a trap by coming into the hospital all by yourself, so I came here to check on you. When I arrived, I got a message from Ah-Cheng. It was short and I didn’t get a chance to ask for details.”

“So that’s what happened. It seems I had another narrow escape.” Huo Mian leaned her head on Qin Chu’s shoulder, feeling fearful.

“You’re fine now. Don’t worry; I’m here to help you.”

“Honey, do you think I’m a wastrel? I always need you to protect me…” Huo Mian felt guilty.

“No. My wife is a bad-ass person. You even took the blame of murder for me, remember?” Qin Chu smiled.

“Humph… Don’t mention it again…” Huo Mian rolled her eyes.

“Don’t think you’re useless or that you cause trouble for me. You’re just a human, not a god; if you can do anything and are not afraid of anything, what use do you need for your husband? Just for showing off?” Mr. Qin had never said so many words in one breath.

Huo Mian was pleasantly surprised…

“No. I use you to make babies…” Huo Mian teased him.

Qin Chu: “…”

“Hahaha… Don’t look at me so seriously. I feel embarrassed.”

On their way home, they teased each other. It was a close one, but fortunately, Huo Mian was fine.

Meanwhile, on the road to the airport, Huo Yanyan’s taxi was forced to stop by some commercial vans before it could get to the highway.

More than ten black-clothed men got out of the vans and began smashing the taxi up.

Scared, the taxi driver almost had a stroke; Huo Yanyan and her daughter were scared senseless, and Tiantian bawled.

“Take them,” one of them roared.

A couple of men dragged Huo Yanyan out by her hair.

“How about the girl?”

“Take both of them.”

“Who are you? What are you doing? Let me go! I’ll call the police…”

Huo Yanyan took out her cellphone, but before she could dial 110, the phone was taken from her hand and smashed onto the ground.

Then, someone slapped her viciously, making her dizzy.

“They are noisy; seal their mouths with tape,” the man said.
