My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 949 - 868: Tacit Understanding

A slender fish fell from the sky, and Qin Miaomiao saw the sharp teeth exposed by the fish’s lips, instinctively covering her mouth.

As if confirming Qin Miaomiao’s suspicion, the fish flapped twice in the water and bit into Da Bao’s tender arm.

Bright red blood drifted through the water, creating long slender and graceful lines, while the fish twisted its body along the threads of blood. Da Bao screamed and cried out.

Qin Miaomiao covered her mouth, choking on her sobs.

Injury was on Da Bao’s body, pain was in her heart. She wished she could take his place.

"Who are you, and why would you hurt an innocent child?"

"You’re nothing but a devil, show yourself!"

"No matter your grievances, come at me. Don’t harm the child."

Qin Miaomiao began cursing in anger, only to eventually plead in helplessness.

But the other party couldn’t hear her.

Qin Miaomiao helplessly collapsed onto the sofa, hearing footsteps, she hurriedly wiped her tears.

When she received the video earlier, Old Sir Lu happened to be in the restroom, missing the video. Otherwise, the old man would have been greatly distressed. If he were harshly provoked... 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She dared not think further.

Old Sir Lu keenly noticed Qin Miaomiao’s abnormality, "Did Lu Qing send any news?"

Qin Miaomiao lowered her head, hiding her reddened eyes, unable to find an appropriate excuse for a moment. Her phone rang, saving her from the predicament.

"Are you there?" Meng Yan pressed the doorbell while calling, "I know everything, how are you holding up?"

Qin Miaomiao raised her phone, signaling the servant to open the door.

Old Sir Lu kept his sharp gaze fixed on the hand Qin Miaomiao used to hold the phone.

Qin Miaomiao deliberately avoided Old Sir Lu’s gaze, her emotions disturbed by Da Bao’s injury seen in the video, making her steps towards the hallway tremble.

Nothing escaped Old Sir Lu’s notice. Qin Miaomiao’s mind was in turmoil, hastening her steps to the hallway, only to freeze when the nanny opened the door.

Outside the door stood Meng Yan and a girl dressed in white cotton-linen clothes.

The girl had a familiar face, easily stirring the pain within Qin Miaomiao’s heart.

Meng Yan said to Qin Miaomiao, "This is Rong Wei." He turned to Rong Wei and said, "This is Qin Miaomiao, the good friend of your brother whom I’ve mentioned."

Qin Miaomiao’s heart ached. Seeing a face so similar to Rong Lan, she seemed to return to the hospital corridor, witnessing Rong Lan lying straight on the gurney, covered with a white cloth, a doctor beside him removing his mask exhaustedly and shaking his head with regret...

This girl, she’s his sister!

As Qin Miaomiao sized up Rong Wei, Rong Wei was also examining her, with questions growing stronger in her mind—

This woman, the one her brother would willingly give up everything for, even forsaking himself. Is she truly that wonderful?

Time ticked away in the grandfather clock’s sound, both women with different thoughts, their eyes moist.

Now was not the time for reminiscence or sentimentality, Old Sir Lu called from the living room ten meters away, "Miaomiao, who’s that?"

Meng Yan waved from the distance, "Grandfather, it’s me."

The three returned to the living room’s sofa area, with servants properly serving tea.

Meng Yan didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, "I just spoke with Lu Qing, this matter is rather tricky." After briefly describing Lu Qing’s previous efforts in searching for Da Bao, he explained, "We’ve used substantial human resources and financial means, but the other party was well-prepared. Lu Qing has to adhere to their game’s rules hesitantly."

"However, the police’s recent sweeping search has angered the kidnappers. They’ve changed the game’s rules."

"Lu Qing got a new card and uses it to contact the kidnappers as instructed. The old phone is switched off, and we can’t reach him."

Old Sir Lu and Qin Miaomiao immediately understood the kidnappers were targeting Lu Qing.
