Chapter 411 A New Choice
On the other side, Ma Qiang kept his phone on as he looked for a signal. Soon, he noticed that one signal bar had lit up!
His eyes widened as he instructed the driver, “Drive faster! We have a signal now!”
“Is there a signal?” The sleep-deprived passengers in the RV were thrilled. They also took out their phones to check the signal.
Ma Qiang immediately called Assistant Yang.
When his cell phone rang, Assistant Yang was having his breakfast. He grabbed the device and saw a call from Ma Qiang, the bodyguard who had gone to the mountains with President He!
‘There shouldn’t be a signal there, right?’ Assistant Yang thought as he pressed the answer button.
“Assistant Yang, bad news!” Ma Qiang’s voice was trembling.
Assistant Yang immediately stood up.
“Don’t be anxious. Tell me slowly. What’s wrong?”
But how could Ma Qiang control his panic? He relayed, “Quick, call the police. We have been separated from President He and Madam. There is a village in the Anning Mountains called Osmanthus Village. We have discovered their illegal operations. They abduct women. Now, the people from Osmanthus Village are hunting us down!”
Assistant Yang’s hands shook. He did not have the time to ask about the particulars. He quickly took out another cell phone and called the police.
When the police heard the information, they all became serious. After all, this involved a major incident like the trafficking of women!
In addition, the other parties were He Xun and Chen Wei’er, who had garnered a good reputation in society!
After Assistant Yang confirmed that the police had already taken action, his anxious heart slowly relaxed. He instructed the person in charge, “Explain it without rushing. Why did you guys separate from President He? Didn’t I ask you to protect President He?”
When the other party heard this, his face reddened. However, it was not the time to be embarrassed. He explained what had happened.
Assistant Yang naturally knew about He Xun’s temper, and he also understood his abilities and skills. But the most crucial part was that President He and Chen Wei’er were by themselves…
Moreover, President He had not called or contacted Assistant Yang at all! This meant that Ma Qiang and the others were the first to escape! President He and Chen Wei’er were still in danger.
For some reason, Assistant Yang had a bad feeling about this. He ordered the other person, “Quickly come back!”
“We are already on our way back. We should be there by noon!” The man nodded.
Assistant Yang was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered something and said, “No, you should leave two people to contact the local authorities. Lead the police to the road where you split up. The rest of you, come back!”
“Alright!” After hanging up the phone, the head of security immediately commanded, “Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, the two of you should stay with me to look for the police. Assistant Yang has already handed over the information to them! The rest of you, go back!”
“Yes!” Everyone quickly acted according to the instructions. Three people got out of the car, but the car still accelerated forward.
The girls also woke up. Since the head alighted, the person with the highest authority in the car was Xiao Zhang. He handed a phone to Huo Yijia, who was the closest to him.
Huo Yijia’s face was extremely pale. Was she happy? Of course, she was happy! But she was also afraid. What everyone had said before resurfaced in her mind. Everyone was persuading her not to give birth to her child! She was not determined to begin with, but now, she was even more confused.
She recalled her conversation with Lu Haiying.
Lu Haiying seemed to like Chang’an, her child, very much. The other woman had always been patient and gentle with him. However, the significance of Chang’an to Lu Haiying seemed to be tied to her life whenever she spoke.
Lu Haiying recognized that if she were to forever remain in Osmanthus Village, she had to give birth to a child. Only then would she have a chance of surviving…
Back then, Huo Yijia was uncontrollably crying. Even after hearing Lu Haiying’s words, she did not think about it carefully. But now that she pondered about it, Huo Yijia seemed to have realized something else.
Perhaps Lu Haiying…regretted it? Lu Haiying had only given birth to Chang’an as a means to survive in Osmanthus Village! It wasn’t out of wanting the child.
This time, Lu Haiying was no longer under the control of Osmanthus Village, but she still had to raise Chang’an out of responsibility.
But even then, it was purely out of societal pressure. Lu Haiying didn’t inherently desire to raise Chang’an…
Huo Yijia’s heart slowly turned cold. She had been impulsive about wanting to protect the child in her stomach. Would she really not regret it in the future? It was just that her past education urged her to put up with her pregnancy and make the necessary sacrifices. She hadn’t thought about whether she should tell her parents about her experience during this period of time. She was afraid that her parents would find out what she had gone through and despise her for being a disgrace to the family! But if she didn’t tell them, how was she going to raise her child?
