Whether it was the former or the latter, only finding the two of them could clarify things.
Dozens of helicopters ascended into the sky, their whirring rotors making the entire world seem deafening.
Xu Linchuan rushed over the moment he received the news.
Seeing her brother arrive, Xu Linyun's legs went weak, and she was caught by Xu Linchuan just in time.
"Brother... What should we do? What if Tingyun is in trouble? I heard there are many birds of prey in the forest. What if Tingyun gets hurt!"
Xu Linyun's heart was in her throat. She had heard about Huo Tingyun's disappearance as soon as she woke up that morning and hadn't slept much. She got up immediately and walked for an unknown amount of time, feeling the man's footsteps grow heavier.
"Huo Tingyun, prepare to walk out..."
Su Qi heard the sound of helicopter rotors and, fearing the man would collapse as he walked, her eyes welled up slightly.
The man beneath her paused, then quickened his pace.
After walking for more than ten steps, the view suddenly opened up.
Dozens of special police officers appeared, led by Lin Te. Upon seeing Huo Tingyun, Lin Te hurried forward, overjoyed. "Master Huo!"
Su Qi struggled to get down, feeling embarrassed with so many people watching.
However, Huo Tingyun had no intention of letting Su Qi down, holding her tightly so she had no room to dismount.
"Master Huo, please let Miss Su down. We'll take care of her..."
Before Lin Te could finish speaking, Huo Tingyun shot him a cold glance.
Lin Te, who had intended to help Su Qi down, immediately lost his courage.
Su Qi didn't understand what Huo Tingyun was trying to do and could only let him carry her out.
Outside the side door, many people were already waiting for news.
They saw a man walking out from a distance, carrying a woman on his back.
That woman...
It was Su Qi!
"Tingyun..." Xu Linyun's face lit up with joy the moment she saw Huo Tingyun. She took a few steps forward, but before she could reach him, her entire face turned pale upon seeing Su Qi.
Although she had considered many possibilities, Xu Linyun hadn't expected them to come out together.
Even less did she expect Huo Tingyun to be carrying Su Qi.
Even though they had reached this point, the man was still carrying Su Qi.
Knowing that everyone was watching, not just the people from the film crew, but so many eyes, Huo Tingyun was still carrying Su Qi as if he had no intention of putting her down.
Xu Linyun stumbled, seemingly unable to accept it.
Xu Linchuan supported Xu Linyun, his brows furrowed with anger, but he suppressed it, looking at Su Qi. "I'm glad you're alright. I was very worried about you."
"I'm fine..."
But now there was a problem.
She didn't know what had gotten into this man.
He was carrying her in front of so many people.
Was he not afraid of Xu Linyun getting jealous?
Of course, if Xu Linyun got jealous, she would be the one to suffer!
"Thank you, Mr. Huo! If I hadn't run into you, I might not have survived!" Su Qi said, beginning to struggle to get down.
Seeing Su Qi dismount from Huo Tingyun's back, Xu Linyun's expression improved slightly.
It was not convenient to make a scene in front of so many people.
"It's good that you're both alright. Go back and rest..."
Su Qi ignored them and walked directly into the crowd.
Gu Tangxue squeezed forward and hugged Su Qi. "Let's go home!"
After driving for an hour, they went from the suburbs to the city.
Back at the rented apartment, Su Qi was completely exhausted.
She had slept in the car for a while, but she was still very tired.
After taking a hot shower, she lay down on the bed and slept soundly.
When she woke up, it was already late at night.
Because she had slept for too long, her head ached a little.
Su Qi sat up and took a long time to recover.
Huo Tingyun must have been very tired from carrying her for so long.
This man was not a good person, but Huo Tingyun had saved her in the forest.
Su Qi picked up her phone and called Huo Tingyun, wanting to thank him personally.
After a few rings, the call was successfully connected.
"Hello..."
A woman's voice came from the other end.
It was Xu Linyun's voice.
Su Qi was all too familiar with it.
"I... I'm Su Qi."
Su Qi was stunned, her mind going blank for a moment.
Even though she knew Xu Linyun might be by Huo Tingyun's side, she hadn't expected Xu Linyun to still be there at ten o'clock at night. It seemed their relationship was indeed intimate.
"Sister Su Qi, I'm sorry. Tingyun doesn't have your name saved, so I didn't know who it was. Is there something you need from Tingyun?"
"No... I just wanted to thank Tingyun. You can just pass on the message."
Su Qi then made an excuse and hung up the phone.
It wasn't as unbearably painful as she had expected, but she still felt a little upset.
Su Qi gave a self-deprecating laugh, threw off the covers, and went into the bathroom.
When she came out after showering, she checked her phone and saw that Huo Tingyun had called her.
Su Qi pursed her lips, did not call back, and simply deleted Huo Tingyun's number and contact from her phone.
"Whose call is it?"
The man came out of the bathroom and found Xu Linyun standing in his room, holding his phone as if she was answering a call.
Xu Linyun hastily put down the phone. "It's nothing, it's Sister Su Qi. She called to ask when you're getting a divorce..."
Divorce?
Huo Tingyun's eyes darkened slightly, hidden without a trace. He walked over and took the phone from Xu Linyun's hand. "I'm going to rest. You should go."
"Tingyun... did you spend the night together..."
Xu Linyun received only the man's silent response.
"I was so worried about you. How did you end up in the forest park? Did you walk in yourself, or..."
Or did you intend to go in and save Su Qi from the beginning?
But why?
Xu Linyun had many, many questions she wanted to ask the man in front of her.
Having worked all day, Huo Tingyun had no patience to answer Xu Linyun's questions, but he still patiently explained a couple of things, giving her a seemingly reasonable explanation.
Xu Linyun clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't press further. Seeing that the man was tired, she simply told him to rest early and left Huo Tingyun's room.
As soon as the door closed, Huo Tingyun called Su Qi back.
The call showed as unanswered.
A shadow appeared in Huo Tingyun's eyes.
He lit a cigarette to calm himself down. His aching head and overwhelming drowsiness made it impossible for him to think further.
Su Qi took a day off. The next day, when she went to the film set, she noticed everyone looking at her.
As soon as she entered the lounge, everyone inside looked at her in unison. Upon seeing it was Su Qi, an assistant, who was Song Yiming's assistant, spoke sarcastically.
"Some people don't even know their place and still dare to get close. Do they really think a rich young master is that easy to latch onto?"
