"Xia Lianlian escaped?" Upon receiving news from Ling County, Huo Shiqian slightly furrowed his brow and spoke to Chang Luhui on the other end of the call.
After a brief contemplation, Huo Shiqian asked Chang Luhui, "Who helped her escape?"
The reason for asking this is that without assistance, Xia Lianlian could never have escaped.
"This matter..." Chang Luhui sighed over the phone and said, "It’s partly due to my negligence."
After giving birth, Xia Lianlian was temporarily placed sowhere else under supervision, instead of in the ntal hospital, so she could nurse the child.
A mother who has just given birth tends to elicit sympathy and lower defenses.
"No one expected Xia Lianlian would abandon her child and escape on her own," Chang Luhui said. "By the ti our people noticed, she had already left Ling County."
"Moreover, Zhao Chunxiao, who is Xia Lianlian’s foster mother, also escaped with her..."
"Zhao Chunxiao?" Hearing this na, Huo Shiqian furrowed his brows even deeper and said, "Why is she involved?"
"Well..." Chang Luhui felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Since Xia Lianlian just gave birth, she needed care, so..."
Thus, Chang Luhui was moved by compassion and allowed Mother Xia to care for Xia Lianlian.
Chang Luhui deeply regretted this decision.
"Commander, this is my fault; please punish ." Chang Luhui said with deep remorse.
However, there is no dicine for regret in this world.
To Huo Shiqian, Xia Lianlian might not pose a significant threat.
Yet she had once poisoned his wife and had mysterious connections to the Capital City.
Huo Shiqian doesn’t fear this person but profoundly despises her.
Having soone who hard his wife and child confined in a ntal hospital was already a generous act from Huo Shiqian.
Now that Xia Lianlian has broken free, it’s uncertain what she might intend to do next.
Hence, capturing her should be the top priority.
"Punishnt will co later." Huo Shiqian said in a deep voice, "First, focus all efforts on bringing both of them back."
"Yes, Commander!" Chang Luhui responded firmly.
After speaking, there was a slight hesitation before Chang Luhui added, "Um... Commander, I actually suspect soone might be assisting Xia Lianlian..."
"Assisting Xia Lianlian?" Huo Shiqian asked with a hint of doubt, "Why do you say that?"
"Well, Commander, do you rember how we couldn’t trace the provider of the poison Xia Lianlian used on your wife back then?" Chang Luhui said.
"The poison provider?" ntioning this, Huo Shiqian naturally recalled.
After Xia Lianlian was captured, they imdiately inquired about the source of the poison.
Regarding this matter, Xia Lianlian always claid she wasn’t quite clear.
It seed Xia Lianlian encountered soone by chance and bought the poison.
However, the poison wasn’t considered very rare.
Plus, the anonymous letter caused more concern, so they hadn’t fully investigated the poison source.
"Yes, the poison provider." Chang Luhui continued, "Because this ti, Xia Lianlian used poison in her escape again."
"Of course, because we discovered early, the poisoned person is fine."
"But using poison twice, I suspect that soone is getting close to Xia Lianlian."
"And this person assisting her, I believe, likely has relations with the person who provided the poison last ti." Chang Luhui shared his suspicions.
