Granting You A Second Life 163 The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

Madame Qin relaxed a little, however, she couldn't help feeling that something wasn't quite right. 

Zhou FengMian: "Auntie Qin they just want to have fun. Besides, there are guards with them too." She exaggeratedly pointed at the guards, which was a signal for Zhou Suyin.  

Zhou Suyin pulled Rui Rui and whispered: "Let's go so we have longer to hide". They both began running. Rui Rui and Zhou Suyin giggled with glee both for different reasons. 

Jun Wen noticed the girls getting away: "No fair! That's cheating." He ran in the other direction. 

Little 4th and Lee HuiQing, and Li xiuying also went to find a hiding spot. 

Gou Sheng turned around with his back and randomly counted: "1, 2, 3, 50, 64, 77"

Qin Jie muttered under his breathe: "First bouncing around and now playing hide and seek. Is she having a mid-quarter of a life crisis?"

Madame Qin: "What was that dear? Something interesting in your book?"

Qin Jie coughed awkwardly and checked his phone. 

Qn Xian Jun message: [Little bro be vigilant and tell Mom to look out for hidden trials], Qin Jie quirked an eyebrow and scanned the surrounding area. 

Qin Jie kept his voice even: "Mom, father messaged. He said we should start heading home."

Madame Qin's facial expression still appeared relaxed but her heart was pounding rapidly in her chest. She sighed: "Your father never lets us have peace on our outings, always interrupting." 

Qin Jie: "He Bo notify the others we will be leaving in 10 minutes."

Qin Jie reclined on his chair and his fingers flew across the keypad [What's going on? They've all gone to play hide and seek. I've given the order for them to return now.]

.....

Qin family black phantom

Qin Xian Jun: "Bro, Jie said he asked everyone to return now."

Qin Song immediately turned his gaze on Qin Xian Jun: "Where did they go?"

Qin Xian Jun back immediately straightened, even he could tell soemthing was seriously wrong now: "He said What's going on? They've all gone to play hide and seek. I've given the order for them to return now." 

Qin Song lowered the part.i.tion between the driver and the back seats: "Step on it now."

The driver was already going above the speed limit, he did what he was told and pressed down on the gas pedal: "Yes"

Qin Song got on the phone to Shen Mengyao.

Shen Mengyao: "Song how are you? I have good news, now it isn't 100% confirmed yet but I will be receiving the post of ..."

Qin Song: "Uncle Shen, I need a police escort."

Shen Mengyao's voice became serious: "Where? What's going on?"

Qin Song: "National park flower entrance. 6 children Qin, Gou, Lee, Jun, Zhou. Possible kidnapping attempt".

Qin Xian Jun's body was frozen with shock and worry. 

Shen Mengyao: "I'll alert my men. Send me the exact co-ordinates of the children and your current location. Just get to the park as soon as possible." He hung up the phone. 

Qin Xian Jun: "Big brother Little 4th, Rui Rui and the others..."

Qin Song: "Everything will be fine." 

.....

Qin Jie and Madame Qin's eyes were constantly flittering around the enclosure. 

Zhou FengMian: "Jie what's going on? Is everything okay with Uncle QIn?"

Qin Jie: "Yes, just some Qin family business." He put particular emphasis on 'Qin'.

Zhou FengMian said with heartfelt emotion: "You are my little brother, just because I'm not yet married into the Qin family doesn't mean we aren't family. I'll be your official big sister soon enough."

Qin Jie nodded but didn't say anything in response. 

Zhou FengMian: "Look there's Gou Sheng and Rui Rui."

Qin Jie and Madame Qin Immediately looked at were Zhou FengMian was indicating and saw a guard bringing over the two little ones. 

Madame Qin: "Why don't you both come over here?" She had already asked He Bo to bring stools over earlier. 

Gou Sheng: "Auntie we didn't finish our game. If I don't go and find the others they'll just carry on hiding." He may have wanted to let Li Xiuying wait alone to the point of anger and frustration but he would never let his brothers suffer. 

Madame Qin: "Don't worry Sheng. The guards are all on the lookout for the others. They should return soon." She was partly rea.s.suring Gou Sheng and partly rea.s.suring herself. 

Rui Rui asked with a scrunched face: "Grandma, why are we all going home now?"

Madame Qin: "Your grandfather has asked us to return. There's a little incident at a home that's all."

Zhou FengMian's voice contained a little concern: "Rui Rui where's Suyin? Didn't you both hide together?"

Rui Rui: "We ran together to hide but then Zhou Suyin ran behind Lee HuiQing as soon as he entered the tree line. I had to hide on my own." She felt aggrieved and frustrated with Zhou Suyin's actions so she no longer wanted to call her Suyin. She was abandoned by Zhou Suyin for one of the smelly boys. 

Zhou FengMian thought to herself 'This silly child, I told her to hide alone not to go running blindly after the guy she likes. ' She didn't blink twice when thinking this and failed to see it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black. 

Zhou FengMian: "Don't worry Rui Rui I'll teach Suyin a lesson when she's back. How can she run away and leave our adorable Rui Rui? But maybe she didn't realize you wanted to hide together? If you hide alone then you wouldn't need to find such a big hiding place?" Although she scolded Zhou Suyin she also carefully defended her. 

Rui Rui nodded, this auntie clearly understood her grievances and what she said made sense. 

Qin Jie: "Zhou Suyin and little 4th are back."

Little 4th had a grumpy expression on her face whilst Zhou Suyin was babbling away. 

Little 4th quickened his steps towards his mother. When he reached her he whispered: "Mother. What's going on?"

Madame Qin hugged little 4th and her heart felt somewhat relieved: "Your father is calling for us to come back."

Little 4th's body immediately went tense. Those were the code words they used when danger was imminent.

Little 4th worriedly asked: "Where is big sister YingYing. Have HuiQing and Wen not been found yet?"

Qin Jie: "Come sit over here." He moved aside slightly and let little 4th sit on his chair and placed his arm around him. Little 4th leaned into his brother, his face was taught. 

Zhou FengMian hugged Zhou Suyin: "Suyin why did you leave Rui Rui to hide alone?"

Zhou Suyin: "I didn't want Rui Rui to get found. So I thought it would be better to hide separately so we could hide in smaller places."

Rui Rui pretended to not be listening. 

Zhou Suyin got out of her aunties embrace and held Rui Rui's hand "Don't be mad Rui Rui. I didn't want you to be found and I saw you heading towards a really good hiding s.p.a.ce. I didn't want you to be dragged down by me, so then even if I was found they couldn't find you."

Rui Rui smiled: "Okay Suyin, but you mustn't leave friends behind." 

Zhou Suyin and Rui Rui began talking about going to each other's houses and having tea parties and their favorite desserts. 

Zhou FengMian 'Our families Suyin is so smart already, such high EQ.'

.....

Qin Song and Qin Xian Jun immediately left the car when they saw the park ahead, they didn't even wait until the car was fully parked. 

8 plain-clothed policemen also exited their vehicles and began running towards the co-ordinates on the map. 

One Policeman spoke as he ran up to Qin Song said: "Mr Qin there will be more of my colleagues arriving in 6 minutes they have been ordered to immediately scatter and search the perimeter. Chief Shen asked me to inform you that he is currently making his way here."

Qin Song: "Fine."

Qin Song slowed his steps as he saw the entrance of the enclosed area and steadied his breathing. He cooly glided forwarded. 

Zhou FengMian felt someone was looking at her, she turned around to see Qin Song. Her face lit up with joy and she immediately made her way towards him and into his arms. 

Zhou FengMian: "Songggg baby what are you doing here? I didn't think you would be available to come."

Qin Song: "I wasn't going to come but then I suddenly heard that you were here." His words carried a double meaning. 

Zhou FengMian smiled with glee and giggled. 

They all suddenly heard Little 4th shouting and then saw him running: "HuiQing what happened?! HuiQing!!!"
