The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 47 Don’t give up on me

When leaving the villa where the Fu family lived, Gu Qingyin didn't pay attention. It was not until she brought Huo Xinghai back to their residence that she realized that this man was not simply unconscious.

There were black flames swirling between his eyebrows and chest, like... a backlash of karma?
Gu Qingyin's heart skipped a beat. This kind of karma backlash can only happen to extremely evil people, and it is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Her son is only 21 years old. How many evil things did he do to taste the bitter fruit of backlash at this age?
"Heh." Gu Qingyin laughed angrily. The brat had hidden a lot of things from her.

Gu Qingyin wanted to wait for Huo Xinghai to wake up and then interrogate him thoroughly, but he didn't wake up yet and the police arrived first, and they were those two young men.

"Is there something?" Gu Qingyin was in a bad mood. The corners of her lips that were usually raised were flattened. She exuded a cold and aloof temperament and seemed very difficult to get along with.

The two young policemen looked at each other and explained their purpose.

"We have a few questions for you regarding your son's kidnapping. Would you mind coming in?"

Gu Qingyin had no expression on her face. "If it's inconvenient, can you come back tomorrow?"

The young police officer was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed, while the other one said seriously: "Please cooperate with us."

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes, turned into the living room, sat on the sofa, and uttered a word coldly, "Ask."

The young police officer stood opposite her, opened his notebook, and asked as he looked at it, "When did you find out that Huo Xinghai was missing?"

Gu Qingyin: "After returning from the Lin brothers and sisters, the exact time is unclear."

The young police officer frowned, "What are you doing at the Lin family's place?"

Gu Qingyin's lips curled up slightly, "It's a private matter, and has nothing to do with this case."

The young police officer glared and said, "We will judge whether it is related or not. Please answer truthfully!"

Gu Qingyin's lips flattened again, "Just strolling around."

The young police officer was speechless and could only continue to ask the next question, "Why didn't you call the police after you found out Huo Xinghai was missing?"

"Heh." Gu Qingyin asked back, "Before I rescued my son, did you find Feng Xia?"

The young policeman pursed his lips and said nothing. They indeed didn't find it.

Gu Qingyin chuckled. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning was self-evident - what's the point of calling the police? It seemed like they could find the person.

The young police officer took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and continued to ask: "How did you determine Huo Xinghai's location?"

Gu Qingyin was silent for a moment, and then began to make up a story openly, "Telepathy between mother and child."

The young police officer frowned, "Please be serious."

Gu Qingyin couldn't help rolling her eyes, "That's how I found it, believe it or not."

The young police officer was already a little angry, so he skipped this question and continued to ask, "Did you cause the injuries on Feng Xia's body?"

"Of course not." Gu Qingyin denied it very quickly, and said with a serious face: "I am a good citizen who abides by the law and never resorts to lynching."

After a pause, Gu Qingyin added: "She was injured when I entered the villa." She did not lie. The injury on Feng Xia's ribs was indeed caused by her kicking her before she entered the villa.

The young police officer put a question mark next to this question, then closed his notebook and asked with concern: "Is Huo Xinghai okay? Does he need to go to the hospital?"

Gu Qingyin gave a polite smile, "No need, thank you for your concern. If there is nothing else, please leave first, I need to rest."

The two police officers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Excuse me, Ms. Gu. If you have any further questions, I hope you can actively cooperate."

Gu Qingyin nodded, "I'll try my best." After the police officers left, Gu Qingyin closed the door, went upstairs expressionlessly, and returned to Huo Xinghai's bedroom.

Huo Xinghai was still unconscious. Gu Qingyin looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and started groping around on the bed beneath him, even under the pillow.

"Changed place?" Gu Qingyin whispered to herself.

She had seen Huo Xinghai hiding something before, but she didn't think anything of it at the time. But now she felt something was wrong. Huo Xinghai was a little too panicked at the time.

So, what is hidden?
"If it's not on the bed, where would it be?"

Gu Qingyin stood beside the bed, looking around until her eyes finally stopped at the bedside table. She leaned over and opened the drawer below, revealing a locked rectangular iron box.

She raised her eyebrows, instinctively sensing that this was what Huo Xinghai had hidden at the time.

Now the question is, should she wait for Huo Xinghai to wake up and let him open it himself, or should she open it herself now?

Before I could finish my struggle, a confused and puzzled voice came from the bed: "...Mom?"

Gu Qingyin paused, okay, the answer popped out by itself.

She closed the drawer and looked at Huo Xinghai with concern, "How do you feel?"

Huo Xinghai blinked and his mind became a little clearer. He subconsciously glanced at the bedside table. Gu Qingyin probably hadn't had time to take it out to look at it yet, right?
"What's wrong with me?" Huo Xinghai thought he had fallen asleep, but looking at Gu Qingyin's expression, it was definitely not that simple, and he himself was also confused.

Gu Qingyin frowned slightly, "You don't know anything? You were kidnapped by Feng Xia, and she wanted to get rid of you for Fu Zimo."

Huo Xinghai was very shocked. "She's crazy! She's already a fugitive, why doesn't she try to escape and come back to kidnap people? Isn't this just walking into a trap?"

Gu Qingyin agreed very much, "So she was taken away by the police."

Huo Xinghai showed disgust on his face, "She is as disgusting as Fu Zimo, they are indeed mother and son."

Gu Qingyin changed the subject and asked, "You are not feeling uncomfortable right now, right?"

Huo Xinghai shook his head, "No." It was not the first time he was kidnapped, but it was the first time he went through the whole process in his sleep and had no experience at all.

"I don't sleep that deeply. Did she drug me?" Huo Xinghai made a reasonable guess, his face darkening. "I'm going to sue her!"

Gu Qingyin said, "Feng Xia didn't drug you. It's your own fault that you're unconscious." She leaned over again, opened the drawer, and took out the box. "Open it."

Huo Xinghai's heart tightened, but he pretended to be confused, "What?"

Gu Qingyin smiled and pointed out directly, "This box contains the reason why you were knocked unconscious by the backlash of karma. I must read it today. If you don't want to open it, I can help you."

Huo Xinghai knew he couldn't escape, so he didn't continue to argue. He sat up from the bed, took the box and started turning it.

The sound of a mechanism was heard, and Gu Qingyin couldn't help but snort, "It's actually a mechanical box. Is your treasure inside?"

Huo Xinghai lowered his eyes and said nothing. He seemed to be turning the mechanism in an orderly manner, but in fact, he was sweating.

He was afraid, afraid to see the disappointment, disgust, and even fear in Gu Qingyin's eyes.

The mechanism was adjusted quickly. Huo Xinghai did not open the box immediately, but looked up at Gu Qingyin.

His eyes were red and filled with broken light, and he pleaded carefully, "Mom, promise me that no matter what you see, don't give up on me."
