Chapter 498: They Were All Captured

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As He Yeli and others were arrested, the group of people in Osmanthus Village was also located.

As it turned out, Old Li had dug a basement under a cave not far from the village to swiftly escape. It was his failsafe for fear of being caught when he first started human trafficking. This time, the entire village had relocated into this huge basement.

Old Li was an expert at covering their tracks. After everyone moved into the basement, he and the young adults in the village cleared all traces of moving. They covered up everything—including the girls they locked in the basement.

The entire village was hidden underground. There was enough food stored for the entire village to eat for a period of time. After all, they had lived in the mountains since they were young, so they naturally knew how to survive.

During this time, if one of the kidnapped girls had not sneaked out and encountered the police searching the mountains, it would have been very difficult for the police to find the cave. The cave entrance was well hidden.

Knowing that everyone in Osmanthus Village was hiding in the cave, the police did not act rashly. They requested reinforcements first. When their forces were enough, they surrounded the entire area and rushed in.

Just like that, those who had brought pain to many innocent people finally paid the price!

When the police reported the incident, Chen Wei’er was visiting Huo Yijia in the hospital.

The bodyguard, Xiao Zhang, was sitting on a stool next to Huo Yijia’s bed. He was diligently brewing brown sugar ginger tea for Huo Yijia.

Seeing Chen Wei’er and He Xun enter, Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment. He was flustered and did not know where to put his hands and feet. His face immediately became flushed.

Huo Yijia didn’t expect to see Chen Wei’er again. She had been isolated for two years and hadn’t paid much attention to the business circle before. How could she know He Xun, let alone Chen Wei’er who had later left the dance industry? However, in the two days she was hospitalized, she had already found out who the two people who saved her were through the internet. She also realized how powerful they were and how high their status was.

Huo Yijia panicked and struggled to sit up.

Chen Wei’er held her hand and said gently, “It’s okay. Just lie down.” As she spoke, she teasingly looked at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang silently took out two stools.

“President He, Madam, please sit.”

“Have you been staying here?” How could Chen Wei’er not see Xiao Zhang’s feelings for Huo Yijia? She just didn’t expect this silly boy to be so cute after falling in love. How nice! Everyone had their own place.

Before Xiao Zhang could answer, an old lady on the hospital bed beside him answered for him.

“Aiyo, this young man is very good! He ran around for his wife and slept beside her bed at night. He even carried her to the toilet! This girl is lucky!”

When the old lady said this, Xiao Zhang’s face turned even redder. He instantly became uneasy. He did not know where to look and how to behave.

Huo Yijia, on the other hand, lowered her eyes. Her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Given her advanced age, the old lady nagged.

“You people are still too young to be so desperate without a child. The medical conditions in our era have been so poor, and there is nothing to nourish the body. Who didn’t lose a few children? You’re so young, and your body condition is still good. Take good care of your body. You’ll be able to have children in a few months.”

The old woman thought that Huo Yijia’s cold expression the past two days was because of the miscarriage and her unwillingness to part with the child.

“Look at your husband. He dotes on you so much. He is so attentive… He must also be upset that the child is gone. Young lady, please be more optimistic. This child is not fated. The child will end up in a better place. He’ll look for you again when he’s ready!” The old lady kept talking.

Neither Huo Yijia nor Zhang said anything. They did not admit or deny it.

Only Chen Wei’er echoed the old lady from time to time.

“Grandma is right. You’re too young… Grandma, are you tired? Why don’t you rest early?”

Half an hour later, the old lady finally stopped talking and turned off the communication device. She turned over and fell asleep.

Chen Wei’er was speechless. This quality of sleep is really good? She glanced at the awkward Huo Yijia and smiled at Xiao Zhang.

“Xiao Zhang, go buy some fruits for me.”

“Oh, alright…” Xiao Zhang immediately agreed.

“I’ll go with you.” He Xun, who hadn’t said anything, stood up and walked out with Xiao Zhang. He knew that Chen Wei’er had something to say to Huo Yijia. If he was also there, Huo Yijia would probably be embarrassed. Therefore, he considerately went out with Xiao Zhang..
