4136: Mian, It's Mom (6)

Mian, It's Mom (6)

 "It's not that serious… I didn't get any marks from Pudding and Little Bean's pregnancy. I've been using imported creams lately, so it's not a problem."2

The changes in her body were the biggest giveaway.

Qin Chu hadn't been intimate with her after coming back, so he never saw what Huo Mian's stomach really looked like.

At the hospital, she took care of it herself.

So, if it wasn't for Bella mentioning it, nobody would pay attention to Huo Mian's stomach.

Of course, Bella didn't mean to, it just came up in the conversation. However, that seemed to make Huo Mian very unhappy.

"Mian, don't be sad. You'll have another."

"Mhm, I'm over it. It's in the past now, it's fine."

"Right, I have something really important to tell you."

Bella suddenly seemed to remember something as she purposefully lowered her voice and sounded mysterious.

"Okay, go for it."

Bella looked around cautiously and got close to Huo Mian's ear.

"Mian, that person that you asked for… I've been surveying him, and I found something."

"Oh? Is that right? What did you find?"

Huo Mian had a hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth, and Bella didn't notice how eerie that looked.

She had been with Huo Mian for a few years, and she knew her well. She would never doubt Huo Mian, so she was spilling her secrets.

Bella lowered her voice again...

"Mian, that Jing De… You were right, he really isn't Zhixin's father."

"Who is he then?" Huo Mian calmly asked.

"He feels like a monster." Bella felt her hair stand while thinking about it.

"Monster?" Huo Mian raised her eyebrows.

"Mhm, ever since he got here, weird stuff has been happening in the neighborhood. It started with cats and dogs going missing, then it turned to people. Someone was found hidden behind a corner… It's gotten more and more ridiculous, children between the ages of four and eight are going missing. Everybody in the neighborhood is on edge, and a case has been opened. However, there's been no leads."

"What does it have to do with Jing De?" Huo Mian kept playing dumb.

"Even though I didn't see it myself, it's definitely related to him. One night, I saw him get up creepily, so I followed him. I didn't know what he was doing, but he had blood on the corners of his mouth, really… His eyes look scary too, I don't dare to sleep deeply at night, I'm scared that he's going to do something to me and Zhixin, or Mom… Too bad, Mom trusts him so much, so I don't know how to tell her. Mian, you should be the one to do it. You're Mom's favorite, so she listens to you the most out of everyone."

"Mhm, leave it to me…"

Huo Mian nodded, deep in thought.

"Mian, what do you think his goal is? I don't know where the situation is going from the looks of things… I secretly installed HD cameras around the house, so I'll see something as soon as he tries anything."

"When did you install them?" staring at Bella's eyes, Huo Mian asked.

"Last night, when mom and him went out to get groceries. I asked my friend to help me install a lot of cameras. As soon as I get evidence, we're going to hand it to Gao Ran and let the police take care of it."

Smiling, Huo Mian extended her hand… Her long fingernails glided across Bella's shoulder.

Out of nowhere, Bella got a cold shiver.
