ratchy, her voice caught in a painful lump. The words "child" were like shards of glass between her lips, impossible to utter. Her heart felt as if it had been ripped from her chest and shredded into...Darkness fell over the entire city.

The CEO's office of the Huo Corporation was brightly lit.

The phone next to Huo Mingzheng rang and stopped, then stopped and rang again. Some were from Li Qin, others from Qin Heng, but Huo Mingzheng didn't answer any of them.

Finally, a phone call got through to Cao Fang's cell phone.

"Cao Fang, where's A Zheng" Qin Heng's voice came from the receiver.

Cao Fang looked at the man on the sofa, who was listless and gloomy. He lowered his voice and said, "Dr. Qin, please come here for a moment. At the Huo family, you can just come by yourself."

Qin Heng didn't ask any further questions and hung up the phone.

He walked into the living room and said to the people in the villa, "Something happened on Azheng's side, he might not be able to come over. I'll go take a look first. Xiaoqin, I'm sorry, happy birthday to you."

Tonight is Li Qin's birthday. We made a plan to have dinner together at the villa tonight to celebrate her.

Qi Ce, holding a glass of champagne, stopped suddenly. "What's the matter Do you need help"

"What could Azheng have that would keep him from leaving for half an hour" Qin Heng didn't know either.

Li Qin's expression froze for a moment.

She gave a stiff smile. "Oh, my bad. Aze is saying he might not be able to make it tonight, I completely forgot about that. You guys go ahead and busy yourselves then. It's fine if we miss the birthday, we can celebrate another time."

Qin Heng nodded and turned to leave.

He accelerated his car to the Ho residence, rushing straight to the elevator and taking it to the top floor.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Huo Mingzheng sitting on the sofa. He stopped in his tracks instinctively.

Tonight, Huo Mingzheng's aura was off. It was filled with a bloodthirsty coldness.

He hadn't seen Huo Mingzheng like this in many years. It was the year he was rescued from the kidnappers, when three boys and girls around his age died in front of him. He spent three days and three nights with their bodies.

After being rescued back to the Huo family, Huo Mingzheng became tyrannical. His current state is on the edge of danger, potentially erupting at any moment.

He was just about to walk past when Cao Fang stopped him, his expression grave. "Doctor Qin, Fu Yan has left,"

Qin Heng was taken aback.

"What does it mean"

She left Nanshi.

Qin Heng's heart skipped a beat. "Where did they go"

Cao Fang shook his head, "General Huo ordered the closure of all checkpoints and transportation hubs—airports, harbors, and train stations—and even the surveillance on the main thoroughfare has been checked. Fu Yan just vanished into thin air."

Qin Heng steadied himself, pushing away Cao Fang's hand. "Don't be hasty, how could a living person simply vanish out of thin air You send more people to search. I'll come and comfort Azheng here."

Thank you, Doctor Qin.

Qin Heng walked to the edge of the sofa, just about to speak, when he caught sight of an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts and two pieces of paper on the coffee table.

He immediately recognized one as a blood test slip and the other as an ultrasound report.

When you see the ultrasound report at the end of the prompt: Intrauterine single pregnancy, 7 weeks.

He unconsciously glanced at the name of the examinee: Fu Yan.

Qin Heng's mind buzzed.

"A-Zheng, this..."

"She's pregnant, I'm going to be a father, Qin Heng, do you believe this is true" The silent man, his voice hoarse, carried a hint of self-deprecating laughter and disbelief.en to me, or them"Cao Fang opened his mouth to explain, but the middle-aged woman on the sofa spoke first, “What are you scaring him for It was I who forced him.”It was Huo Mingzheng's mother, Cheng W...
