Pushing away Huo Guanchen's hand, Song Jinning decisively turned away to the car and slammed the door close.
"Drive." Huo Shaoheng immediately commanded. His bulletproof car hummed to a start and quickly departed from the Huo manor.
By the time General Ji and Speaker Long rushed out, they only saw the taillights speeding off, drawing a long line in the dark night. Outside the great iron gates, the street lights glowed a fluorescent white and it was almost as bright as day.
Huo Guanchen was listless as he stood under the light, the muscles on face twitching as tears shimmered in his eyes but never fell.
General Ji looked at him to ask about Song Jinning, "Guanchen, wasn't Song Jinning sick all this time? Why does she look all better now? Do you know when she recovered or woke up?"
Huo Guanchen froze for a second, then gathered his wits and shook his head, "I'm not sure. She was still ill when Shaoheng took her away a few days ago."
