Chapter 528: Little Skinny Pole in Peril!

In the neighboring room, Zhouzhou clutched the corner of her blanket, rolling herself into a little cocoon.

After a moment's thought, she heaved herself up to fetch a longer blanket from the cupboard, ensuring room for her feet. If she grew taller in her sleep, her long legs would have ample space.

Satisfied with her preparations, Zhouzhou nestled into bed. Just as she was about to close her eyes, a faint noise reached her ears.

Her round eyes snapped open, and she jumped to the window. Below, she saw a figure in black hefting Huo Ji'an into a car, which sped away.

Zhouzhou's heart leapt with joy. Grandma hadn't lied—thirty thousand had really come! Her sleepiness vanished instantly as she grabbed the POS machine and dashed downstairs.

Qin Lie, sitting in the living room reviewing documents, looked up at the commotion. "What's wrong?"

Zhouzhou, leaping the last two steps, hurried to his side. "Daddy, something terrible happened! Little Skinny Pole has been kidnapped!"
