It was from Old Master Huo’s butler.

  “Young Master, I just received news that Third Master escaped!”


  Huo Heng’s grip on his phone tightened. “What?”


  “I heard that it happened two days ago and I just received news. Master asked me to tell you that he had escaped but was not caught. He might hurt you and Miss Xia. He asked you to be careful! Go home quickly after taking your wedding photos!”


  Huo Heng said, “I understand.”


  He hung up and walked quickly to the women’s changing room.

  He knocked on the door. “Little Camellia, are you done?”


  No one replied.

  Huo Heng was about to knock again when the staff walked over. “Mr. Huo, Lisa is applying makeup for Miss Xia inside.”


  Huo Heng’s expression was dark. “Open the door.” Did she have to lock the door to put on makeup?

  Thinking that Huo Heng and Xia Cha were about to become husband and wife, the staff did not object. He took the key and opened the door.

  A makeup kit was placed on the table. Where was Xia Cha?

  Huo Heng saw that one of the windows was wide open and that there were traces of grass being trampled on. He immediately jumped down.

  Even after chasing for a distance, he did not see Xia Cha.

  Huo Heng immediately called Xia Cha. Her phone was still ringing, and someone picked it up after a while. It was the wedding dress store staff who answered.

  The staff caught up to Huo Heng. Looking at his slender body trembling slightly and his dark expression, she carefully handed him his phone. “Mr. Huo, did something happen?”


  Huo Heng took the phone and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “The fake Lisa kidnapped my wife.”


  “Ah, how did this happen?”


  Huo Heng closed his eyes and didn’t speak again.

  He could already vaguely guess that the fake Lisa was Huo Third Master in disguise.

  He had escaped to take revenge.

  If he took Xia Cha away, he might not hurt her for the time being.

  His real target should be him!

  …


  The Huo family’s mansion.

  When the Old Master found out that Xia Cha had disappeared, he used the cane and poked the ground hard. “Animal, a*shole. Why does he still refuse to realize his error after doing so many bad things?”


  “If anything happens to my granddaughter-in-law, I will not let him off!”


  Jian Yi walked to Huo Heng, who was sitting on the sofa in silence. “Heng’er, can’t we call the police?”


  Jian Yi had already been convinced by Jing Yu, whom Huo Yuan had sent. She had come to the Huo Family in Harbor City, because she wanted to give Huo Heng a complete family.

  Jian Yi had never experienced such a thing. She had never seen Huo Third Master before. It was said that he had taken Huo Yuan’s identity and been the Huo family’s Third Young Master for decades.

  Why did he have to escape and hurt others after being caught?

  Jian Yi’s heart ached at the thought of the thin and weak Xia Cha falling into his hands.

  Over the past few years, she had started to understand how deep Huo Heng’s feelings for Xia Cha were. If anything happened to Xia Cha, Huo Heng would definitely not be able to live!

  “Shall we inform the Xia family about this?”


  Huo Heng raised his bloodshot eyes and shook his head. “I will definitely save her!” He would not let the same thing happen again in his life. Even if he was doomed to not survive this, he would let Xia Cha live well.

  Huo Heng knew that Huo Third Master would definitely contact him, so he went upstairs alone and entered the study.

  His hands clenched into tight fists as he placed them on the table. His heart trembled so badly that even his breathing was about to stop.

  …


  Xia Cha slowly opened her heavy eyelids.

  Her temple was still throbbing in pain.

  Her eyes were covered with a piece of cloth and she could not see her surroundings. She could faintly hear the sound of the waves.

  She did her best to calm herself down and recall what had happened.

  That Lisa…


  She had looked at his eyes and felt that they were slightly familiar. Before she could say anything, her eyelids became heavy.

  Had Lisa kidnapped her and brought her here?

  Xia Cha moved her body and realized that her hands and feet were tied.

  “Oh…”


  Hearing another woman’s voice, Xia Cha hummed.

  The woman responded very quickly.

  Xia Cha vaguely understood that another person had been kidnapped.

  She suppressed the emotions within her as she tried to recall whom she had offended.

  Could it be Xia Zi?

  Had Xia Zi sent someone to do this?

  Didn’t she understand that doing this would ruin her life forever?

  Xia Furong was still in jail and how stupid could she be to go down her old path?

  Just as Xia Cha was deep in thought, someone walked in.

  Xia Cha felt a tall figure stop in front of her.

  The person crouched down and pulled off the tape on her mouth.

  Xia Cha endured the pain of the tape being torn off. Once she could speak, she said, “Who are you? Why did you pretend to be Lisa and bring me here…”


  That pair of eyes…


  Xia Cha paused.

  If his eyes were not blue, they would look exactly the same as the Third Master’s.

  Could it be…


  Xia Cha’s heart thumped.

  “It’s you, isn’t it?” Xia Cha’s voice turned completely cold.

  The person squatting beside her did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.

  After a while, he picked up a bowl of porridge and fed it to Xia Cha.

  Xia Cha gritted her teeth and refused to eat.

  After a while, her chin was suddenly pinched by someone.

  “If you dare, take off the cloth covering my eyes.”


  “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll see you?”


  “Ha, since when did the famous Third Master become so timid?”


  As soon as she finished speaking, the cloth covering Xia Cha’s eyes was pulled off.

  She had been in the dark for some time and was not used to the light.

  Xia Cha closed her eyes and opened them again. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the man in front of her.

  When Huo Third Master was arrested, she had not been in Harbor City. They had not seen each other for a long time.

  He had become very thin now and the area around his eyes had become even deeper. He was wearing an old black coat and his facial features still looked the same as before, but his time in jail had made him look even more aged and haggard.

  Their eyes met and he had no expression on his face, only looking at her with his deep and dark eyes, his eyes still warm and gentle.

  Many memories flooded Xia Cha’s mind and she felt a lump in her throat.

  She gritted her teeth, breaking the silence with a cold expression. “Don’t make another mistake!”


  “Tangtang, are you getting married to him?” He was not like a kidnapper, but like an old friend she had not seen for a long time. He was chatting with her calmly.

  Xia Cha pursed her lips. “Yes.”


  “He hurt you like he did before. Do you really love him?” He reached out his hand and lifted her chin, pulling the distance between them closer. “You were forced, right? It’s okay. I’ll take you away. From now on, we’ll be together no matter where we are.”


  Xia Cha looked at him and reminded herself.

  She could not anger him now.

  But she found it funny when she heard that he was going to take her with him.
