Huo Ling no longer looked at the old lady. Instead, he walked around her and gestured with his hand to the people behind him to come in. “Search the place!”

A large group of people rushed in and began to comb the place carefully to locate Quan Meng. A few hours later, someone finally found the unconscious Quan Meng in the locked old hut in the back mountain.

Huo Ling had never seen a healthy person become like that in just a few days. Without any nutrition, her hair was tangled into a mess, her skin was an unhealthy white, and her body was covered in patches of red and purple as if she had been bitten by something. Her clothes were covered in old grime that could not be wiped off, and she was emitting a strange smell from all over.

Was this really the Quan Meng who usually acted cute and coquettishly to him?

Huo Ling walked up to her in disbelief. He reached out to check the woman’s breath. Her weak breathing indicated that she was still alive.

“Someone come and take a look at her!”

After receiving instructions, a group of medical staff ran over with a stretcher. Quan Meng was in a critical state and had to be sent back to the hospital for treatment immediately. The ambulance left the scene in a hurry.

“How should we deal with this person?” The police officer who was called over stood on the side and held the old woman down.

They had been dispatched purely because the Yu family had invested a lot in the police station. Although the Quan family had previously told them not to be nosy and this was only a family matter, they had no choice but to listen to Yu Yan’s words. What they didn’t expect was that the so-called “family matter” would turn out to be something like this.

“Settle it in accordance with the law. Pry her mouth open and find out who instructed her. I want the exact names.”

Huo Ling then turned around and left, ignoring the old woman’s pleas.

Huo Ling knew very well that it could not be anyone else other than the Quan family. However, he still needed solid evidence and statements in black and white. He needed evidence that the Quan family could not refute.

After all, Quan Meng was someone who had registered marriage with him. If they were going to bully her, they still had to ask for his permission!

When Quan Meng woke up, she was blinded by the dazzling light until she could not open her eyes. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and sat up abruptly, ignoring the IV drip’s tubing attached to the back of her hand.

“Where is this place?” Quan Meng shrank her body, holding her head with both hands, and curled herself into a ball.

Aunt Yun’s heart ached at the sight of Quan Meng in this state. After spending nearly half a month with her, she had long since treated Quan Meng as her own child, not to mention the fact that she was the wife of the young master, whom she had watched grow up.

During the few days when Quan Meng was kidnapped, she blamed herself endlessly. She and Shen Xin went back and forth to many places, but they could not get any news of Quan Meng.

Fortunately, Quan Meng had been found at last.

“My child, it’s okay. It’s all in the past.” Aunt Yun gently hugged Quan Meng. She could feel Quan Meng trembling in her arms. She gently comforted her until she fell asleep again.

Huo Ling pushed the door open and walked in with the report in his hand. His face was visibly unpleasant.

When he saw Aunt Yun comforting Quan Meng, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

There was not much problem with Quan Meng’s health. She only suffered some malnutrition and mosquito bites. She would be fine after getting some nutrition and some ointment applied to the bites.

It was probably because he had been tense and tired for a long time. Huo Ling’s body was not used to it when he suddenly relaxed, and he toppled over all of a sudden.

Aunt Yun got a big shock. She quickly called for the doctor and helped Huo Ling up.

The reason Huo Ling fainted was that he had low blood sugar. He would be fine after receiving a glucose infusion. The doctor left the ward after prescribing the medicine while Aunt Yun went to prepare food for the two of them.

Only Quan Meng and Huo Ling were left in the huge ward.

Huo Ling was sitting on the sofa at the side. His hand was still receiving an infusion of glucose, but his eyes were fixed squarely on Quan Meng, who was sleeping nearby.

The girl didn’t sleep well. Her brows were furrowed, and she broke out in a cold sweat from time to time. Her body kept twitching as if she was having a nightmare.

Huo Ling propped himself up with the IV drip stand and slowly walked forward to dim down the light. He then reached out to smooth out Quan Meng’s frowning brows. He took a towel from the side and wiped the sweat from her forehead. He then tucked her in.

After Huo Ling tucked Quan Meng in, he sat back down and continued to watch quietly. When Aunt Yun returned, he was done with his glucose infusion.

Huo Ling only gave Aunt Yun a few instructions before he turned around and left.

He felt a little flustered, but he didn’t know why. Could it be that he had really fallen for Quan Meng?
