My Youth Began With Him

"Young Madam Qin, what went missing? Let's all go out and search for it for you."

The security guard tried to relieve the Young Madam's anxiety.

"No, nothing went missing. Thank you."

Finding nothing in the surveillance cameras, Huo Mian walked out of the room.

Gao Ran came quite late. He had planned to come with Zhu Lingling and Gao Boyuan, but someone got killed in the city and he had to go to the crime scene. When he came, the entrance was almost sealed up.

"Chu."

"How is the case?"

"It's nothing big. A group of gangsters fought each other and killed one… The victim and the suspect are both poor. The suspect confessed and is ready to do his time. It's not complicated."

"Good."

"Chu, you look worried. What happened?"

"Do I?"

"Of course you do."

Gao Ran was Qin Chu's best friend and they had known each other since childhood, so other than Huo Mian, only he could understand the subtle expressions on Qin Chu's face.

"Gao Ran, how many people do you have now?"

"You mean in my police squad?"

"Yeah."

"Excluding the ones on night duty, there are about 50."

"Can you move them here?"

"Move them?"

"Yeah. As an entrepreneur, I am applying for protection from the police… Move all your people here."

"What… happened? Your yacht is under attack?" Gao Ran joked.

"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight…"

Qin Chu couldn't describe his feelings. He just felt the quietness was a bit too weird for his ease of mind.

Up until now, nothing had happened, which was weird.

After all, Huo Mian's identity had been exposed; while they were having a big party in a yacht, their enemies wouldn't stand by and watch.

No matter if it was Ian, Huo Siqian or those mysterious guys wearing masks, they all wanted to take Huo Mian.

But up until now, things were eerily quiet on the yacht, which made Qin Chu even more uneasy.

Of course, if Huo Mian told him about the wedding gown, he'd be more worried.

"Are all your people here?"

Gao Ran glanced around and found all the security people working for Qin Chu had come, including Huo Mian's bodyguards and the bodyguards from South Hill Manor.

It looked as if he was ready for a war…

"They are all here."

"Do you expect someone to crash the party?"

"It's hard to say." Qin Chu was as brief as usual.

"I'll get my people here, just in case…"

Seeing Qin Chu's grim expression, Gao Ran knew his friend wasn't joking.

Without further ado, Gao Ran called his superior, asking for permission to move police officers to keep order for a big gathering.

His superior naturally agreed; after all, Gao Ran did all the work while the credit always went to his superiors.

- At 8 PM, the big show began -

Tang Chuan and Qin Ning had prepared the show in person and the performers were almost as good as those on CCTV's New Year's Gala.

There were cross talks, witty skits, acrobatics, singing, and dancing; the programs were excellent.

After the show began, people came into the great hall one by one.

Huo Mian glanced around uneasily.

"What's up?" Qin Chu held her shoulders.

"Honey, Nie Lingxuan is not here."
