After returning to school, Huo You realized that most of the students were also talking about the shocking kidnapping incident on the Internet. Some people didn’t know that the person who had been kidnapped was Huo Tian’s mother, and some people didn’t spread the news even though they had some vague idea of the truth.
Huo You asked someone to go to Huo Tian’s class to check the news. The student came back quickly and told Huo You about the information she had found.
“Huo Tian hasn’t come to school for two days. Her classmates don’t know what has happened either. I thought of how Bi Ying, who’s in the first year, was someone close to Huo Tian. Therefore, I went to Bi Ying’s class to take a look. Bi Ying hasn’t come to school for two days either…”
“Bi Ying isn’t in school either?”
Huo You was secretly happy to hear this news. Bi Ying had always been Huo Tian’s follower. The reason they didn’t come to school at the same time must be because something had happened to Huo Tian.
Out of the affection from having spent over ten years together with Ding Rong, in her heart, Huo You didn’t want Ding Rong to be the one who had died from this kidnapping incident. What she hoped to hear was the news of Huo Tian’s death.
Huo You thought darkly how nice it would be if Huo Tian died just like that. Huo Tian would never go against her again, and Si Huan would also suffer a huge blow. Her plan with He Yu would also be much smoother.
Of course, the student who was reporting the gossip she had heard didn’t know about Huo You’s dark thoughts. She guessed, “I heard that Bi Ying ran off with Huo Tian. I don’t know if this news is true.”
Some students around them heard this and exclaimed suggestively, “That can’t be. Huo Tian grew up in the Huo Family and should still have some taste. How could she possibly like a poor guy like Bi Ying?”
“And I heard that Bi Ying is disabled…”
“But he looks fine from head to toe. I can’t tell where he’s disabled.”
“Maybe his disability is somewhere you can’t see…”
This baseless guess immediately led to another round of unpresentable jokes.
Huo You didn’t join in the discussions. She continued to ask the well-informed student, “Are there any news about Si Huan? Has he appeared in school over the past two days?”
The student thought about it for a while, then shook her head. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have realized it. I haven’t seen Si Huan in the past two days. His friend Zhao Feng seems to have taken over the student union’s work. Oh right, Si Huan and Huo Tian are very close too, but he also took leave at this time. The reason for his leave might have something to do with Huo Tian.”
“Is there some unknown secret between Si Huan, Huo Tian, and Bi Ying?”
A classmate at the side guessed excitedly, “Could it be because of a love triangle? Two guys fighting over a girl, resulting in a conflict where all three of them were injured. That’s why they didn’t come to school?”
“This kind of plot is too melodramatic. It’s definitely not like that…” Another student said disdainfully,” Moreover, Si Huan is the head of the Si Family. How could he possibly like Huo Tian, who has been chased out of the Huo Family…”
“That’s true. Then why did Si Huan choose to take leave at this time and not come to school?”
“Who knows? Maybe he has something urgent to deal with at home.”
Huo You continued to listen to the students’ discussion. All the gossip seemed to confirm the information she had obtained from He Yu.
It seemed like something big had happened to the Ding Family. Be it Ding Rong or Huo Tian, one of them must have been harmed.
It was precisely because of this that Si Huan and Bi Ying would take leave together. Moreover, the one who had gotten harmed was more likely to be Huo Tian because, in Huo You’s impression, only Huo Tian would make Si Huan lose his cool.
Huo You returned to the Huo Family after school. To her surprise, she found that Mr. and Mrs. Huo were also discussing the kidnapping incident that had occurred in the Ding Family.
Mrs. Huo frowned as if she had encountered something unlucky. “Hubby, did the police go to the company to look for you?”
Mr. Huo nodded. “I heard that the woman with the surname Ding was kidnapped. The kidnapper asked Huo Tian for a huge ransom. The police asked if Huo Tian had given her a huge sum of money for her living expenses when she left the Huo Family. They said that the kidnapper heard that we had given Huo Tian a lot of money, so they had malicious intentions…”
“What a sin. If Huo Tian and Youyou hadn’t been mistakenly switched and the two of them had grown up in their respective families, how could such a tragedy have occurred…”
Mrs. Huo sighed hypocritically. “The police came to look for me because of this as well. How would I remember how much I spent on Huo Tian since I was young? I can only say that I don’t remember how many things Huo Tian had taken when she left the house either…”
Mr. Huo nodded. “That’s what I told the police too. I heard that the kidnappers have been captured by the police. I hope that they can be convicted quickly.”
Mrs. Huo sighed and said, “Tiantian is really too much. She has been used to living in luxury since she was young and didn’t even restrain herself despite being in such an environment.. That’s why she was targeted by the kidnappers in the end…”
