"I’m sorry," Xia Chuyi sighed, "I also heard about your news..."
Xia Chuyi felt a little aggrieved again.
Hearing this, Huo Shiqian finally sighed, pulling her into his arms, "Because you care too much, Guo Jiumin took advantage of your feelings."
"Don’t bla for not telling you beforehand, this was a trap," Huo Shiqian said to Xia Chuyi.
Seeing that Huo Shiqian was no longer angry, Xia Chuyi first let out a sigh of relief, then reflected on it, feeling sothing was off.
"A trap?" Xia Chuyi asked him in confusion, "How did you know it was a trap?"
To be more accurate, how did her own husband know... there was such a trap?
"It’s a long story," Huo Shiqian told her, "Let first handle the cleanup here, then I’ll tell you."
"Alright." Xia Chuyi naturally had no objections to Huo Shiqian’s words.
Once the situation here was resolved, on the way ho, Huo Shiqian told Xia Chuyi, "Guo Jiumin and Xia Lan have been captured."
"And Xia Lianlian..." At this point, Huo Shiqian paused slightly, saying, "She’s dead."
"Dead?" Upon suddenly hearing this news, Xia Chuyi was very shocked, "What happened?"
Huo Shiqian gently patted her hand and said, "Xia Lianlian was just a pawn for Guo Jiumin, and once the pawn’s used up, she naturally has no more use."
To put it bluntly, both Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia were manipulated by Guo Jiumin to confuse, seduce, and deal with Xia Chuyi.
Including He Qing, who was also a pawn specially selected by Guo Jiumin.
All were just pawns, and once they outlasted their usefulness, Guo Jiumin wouldn’t keep them around?
Xia Chuyi felt a bit rueful.
At this mont, Huo Shiqian continued, "As for Xia Lianlian’s mother..."
Mother Xia, naturally referring to Xia Lianlian’s mother.
"I plan to have soone send her back to Ling County." Huo Shiqian said coldly, "Having lost her beloved daughter and her sanity, Zhao Chunxiao’s remaining life is fit only for a ntal hospital, without seeing any outsiders."
It was evident that Huo Shiqian was venting his anger over Xia Lianlian onto Mother Xia.
Xia Chuyi naturally didn’t plead for Mother Xia.
Knowing that Huo Shiqian was already showing great rcy by sparing Mother Xia’s life, Xia Chuyi understood.
"Let it be," Xia Chuyi said.
She had already done her utmost for Mother Xia.
After discussing Mother Xia, Huo Shiqian finally told Xia Chuyi how he knew Guo Jiumin’s sche was a trap.
"When rescuing Guo Jiacheng, I already had my suspicions," Huo Shiqian told his wife, "To fra Guo Jiacheng, there had to be an insider within the Guo family."
"More accurately, there was definitely a problem with the Guo family leadership," Huo Shiqian said calmly, "So before entering the dense forest, I’d sent soone to City G to investigate."
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi nodded and looked at Huo Shiqian.
She had to admit, Huo Shiqian was indeed very wise.
At this mont, Huo Shiqian continued, "Once I entered the dense forest, I lost contact with the outside world and couldn’t receive imdiate feedback."
"It wasn’t until later, when I found Guo Jiacheng and rescued him, that through our conversation, we locked onto so suspects," Huo Shiqian said calmly, "Among them was Guo Jiacheng himself."
"Later, after leaving the dense forest, we received reports from City G and confird Guo Jiumin’s plot," Huo Shiqian added.
