Chapter 2297 - 2298: I Have My Limits Too 6

"Listen to your uncle, pack your things and go back to Vancouver, Maimai, do you understand?"

"Uncle, tell me the truth. They said if I don’t get to Miami within 24 hours, they’ll kill Sheng Sheng. Who are they? Uncle, don’t hide it from me, I have the right to know the truth."

Gu Shaocheng let out a sigh. "Okay, I’ll tell you, but you have to listen to your uncle and come back to Vancouver. Something happened to Sheng Sheng, you can’t have anything happen to you again. Your uncle promises you, I’ve already sent people to rescue Sheng Sheng, so you just behave yourself and come back to Vancouver for me, do you understand?"

Maimai smacked her lips, and for a long, long time, she didn’t respond.

Until Gu Shaocheng’s voice came again, stern and not to be disobeyed, calling her name: "Maimai? Are you still listening?"

"...I’m here."

"Tell me, are you going to listen to your uncle?"

"I..." She clenched the hem of her clothes, lips pressed tightly together.

"I’ll ask you one more time, did you take in what your uncle said or not?"

Maimai pressed her lips together again. "I... I heard you."

Gu Shaocheng let out a breath of relief. "Your uncle will personally go to the airport to pick you up. Before you get on the plane, send your uncle a text message. Your uncle does not want to end up at the airport and not find you there."

After the call ended, facing the looks from Sister A and the assistant, Maimai took a deep breath, then another deep breath. Her head felt muddled and dazed, but she was much calmer than just now.

"Sister A, help me pack. I have to go back to Vancouver right away."

Sister A didn’t ask any more questions, signaled the assistant to pack, then hugged Maimai. "Maimai, hang in there."

"Sister A, I’m fine." She had already adjusted her state as fast as she could. Her whole body felt numb, she forced herself not to think about anything, and she didn’t look at that MMS again. She just stood up, but as soon as she took a step, her body lurched forward with a thud. Luckily Sister A had been watching her the whole time and quickly caught her, so Maimai didn’t actually fall flat on the floor.

She couldn’t even remember how she got back to Vancouver. After she came out of the airport, she was directly pulled into her dad’s arms. Hua Hua wrapped his arms around her back and said in relief, "You’re finally back."

Maimai looked up, her eyes red, but she didn’t cry.

"Dad, Sheng Sheng, he..."

"We’ll talk after we go home. Go home first, there are people to save Sheng Sheng. Come home with Dad."

"Where’s Uncle?"

"It was your uncle who asked me to come pick you up and take you home." Hua Hua took off his overcoat and wrapped it around her, then led her into the car.

Maimai glanced at the time on her watch. "Dad, who’s targeting Sheng Sheng? What do they want? Is it a kidnapping? Is it for money? If it’s money, just give them the money. As long as Sheng Sheng is okay, I have plenty of money, I have a lot."

"Silly girl, this isn’t about money at all. This kind of thing, just leave it to your uncle to handle. You and I would only make things worse," Hua Hua held her hand. "Your Father Ling is also pulling strings and using his connections to save him. Don’t panic, nothing will happen to Sheng Sheng."

"I know, that’s why I came back." She was afraid she’d lose her reason and rush to Miami. Then not only would she be unable to save Sheng Sheng by herself, she’d just be a burden and mess things up, so she listened to her uncle and came home.

But she was so worried!

Her head was full of images of a bunch of bastards torturing Sheng Sheng. She didn’t want to think about it, but she couldn’t control it. It felt like steel wire was coiled around her heart, tightening and tightening until it hurt like hell. "Dad, I can’t not go. What if they kill Sheng Sheng?"
