After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1343 - 1342: Main Story Finale 15
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
"As long as a cooperative agreement is reached, you can inform your family that you encountered her and what she has brought!"
"This way, all problems will be easily resolved," Guo Jiumin added, subtly guiding Xia Chuyi.
Previously, the hint Guo Jiumin gave was not fully grasped by Xia Chuyi.
However, Xia Chuyi understood Guo Jiumin's current suggestion perfectly.
Simply put, Guo Jiumin was hinting at getting Xia Chuyi involved in his scheme, essentially pushing her onto a pirate ship for reckless actions.
The question remained, however, whether he could successfully rope Xia Chuyi into his plans...
It seemed Guo Jiumin believed he could coerce her by leveraging the secret of Xia Chuyi being a "prophet."
Unfortunately for Guo Jiumin, he was unaware that any traces of Xia Chuyi being the "prophet" had already been meticulously erased by Huo Shiqian.
Even her involvement in investing in movies and real estate was purely coincidental, something Xia Chuyi happened upon.
Therefore, even if Guo Jiumin were to suffer significant losses to harm her, revealing this secret would not trouble Xia Chuyi in the slightest.
Conversely, it was Guo Jiumin and Xia Lan, who had undoubtedly utilized the prophet's status for numerous schemes, who would face scrutiny.
If any suspicions arose, they would be the primary targets.
At this juncture, Xia Chuyi gently shook her head and stated, "Mr. Guo, you don't truly understand my family."
"If they realize I am missing, they are likely to initiate a city-wide search even before our discussions conclude," Xia Chuyi explained. "Furthermore, the situation with Panpan will undoubtedly alert them beforehand that I am not at the cinema."
"In that scenario, they might commence their search much earlier," Xia Chuyi stated calmly. "These possibilities likely fall outside of your expectations, Mr. Guo, do they not?"
Hearing this, Guo Jiumin fell into a moment of silence.
After a brief pause, Guo Jiumin finally spoke, "I can permit you to make a phone call... however, Young Madam Huo, do not attempt any foolishness or utter any unnecessary words."
"After all, we will be sailing on the same boat in the future."
"And if your secret becomes known to others, it certainly won't benefit you, will it?"
"Moreover, your sister is also here as a guest," Guo Jiumin added, his tone deliberately laced with threat.
Guo Jiumin's intention was indeed to use her secret as a means of coercion.
And Xia Pan... her presence had been a genuine surprise.
Xia Chuyi, maintaining a composed demeanor, replied, "Mr. Guo, you are correct; we are indeed destined to be on the same path moving forward..."
"In that case, Mr. Guo should place more trust in me," Xia Chuyi said calmly. "I assure you, I will not speak carelessly. You can be at ease."
Guo Jiumin scrutinized Xia Chuyi, observing her composed and serious expression, and conceded, "Very well, I shall permit you to make your call."
Upon hearing his agreement, Xia Chuyi let out a silent, relieved sigh.
The call was placed to the Ou family. As Xia Chuyi had anticipated, they had only just become aware of her disappearance.
"Chuyi, where have you gone?" came the anxious voice of Mrs. Ou, who was at home, through the phone. "Didn't I instruct you not to stray? We haven't even figured out the situation behind this yet..."
"Mom!" Xia Chuyi interrupted Mrs. Ou directly. "I am perfectly fine. I merely encountered a friend temporarily to discuss some matters."
"Additionally, Panpan is with me," Xia Chuyi stated earnestly to Mrs. Ou over the phone. "So please do not worry; we are both safe."
"Once our discussion is concluded, I will bring Panpan back," Xia Chuyi assured her. "Therefore, kindly refrain from worrying; we are completely alright."
"Remember, do not worry!"
