After a pause, he added, "Go to the Mami Love Welfare Institute to investigate a child named Ai Ai."

...

Soon, Huo Bei called Huo Jinnan, "Sir, Shu Cunyu went to check where Shu Mengmeng went and what she did seven years ago, and also sent someone to investigate Ai Ai at the welfare institute."

Huo Jinnan responded with a "Hmm" and said, "Keep watching."

After hanging up the phone, he saw Zhong Qin coming downstairs with Xiaoqi in her arms. The little guy stayed close to the leader, and he walked over to take Xiaoqi from Zhong Qin’s arms.

Zhong Qin looked at Huo Jinnan, "How’s that child doing?"

Huo Jinnan lowered his head to look at Xiaoqi and kissed her cheek, "She’s been in the room all the time."

Zhong Qin glanced at Huo Jinnan, "Is she really Huanhuan’s third brother’s child?"

Huo Jinnan, "No."

Zhong Qin sighed, "The child is quite pretty."

Only then did Huo Jinnan look at Zhong Qin, "Yes, but..."

He didn’t continue, always feeling that the child wasn’t simple.

At this moment, Ai Ai came out.

He walked over to look at Huo Jinnan, "I want to go back to the welfare institute."

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, "Tell me, did anyone come looking for you when you were at the welfare institute?"

Ai Ai didn’t speak, looking at Huo Jinnan. Actually, he already knew Huo Jinnan, having seen Mr. Huo’s photo.

Thinking of what that person had said, he looked at Xiaoqi again.

The little guy was beside him, and upon seeing Ai Ai looking at Xiaoqi, pursed his little lips and patted the leader’s head.

The leader looked at Ai Ai and barked, "Woof woof—".

Ai Ai saw the leader and, feeling a bit scared, stepped back.

The little guy glanced at Ai Ai, "If you have any bad intentions, you’d better be careful."

Ai Ai looked at the little guy.

The little guy looked coldly at Ai Ai, eyes filled with warning.

Ai Ai didn’t dare provoke the little guy and looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan coldly asked, "Your eyes tell me someone has been to you, and you recognized me early on, haven’t you?"

Ai Ai looked at Huo Jinnan, eyes widened in surprise.

Huo Jinnan, "Since someone has approached you, what did they ask you to do?"

Ai Ai stood there silently.

At this moment, Xiaoqi looked at Ai Ai, "Whoa~"

Ai Ai looked at Xiaoqi, feeling Huo Jinnan was still watching him, along with a big dog by his side and a little kid half a head shorter than himself also staring, feeling a bit nervous.

That person had said it was Huo Jinnan and his wife who killed his mom and also said there would definitely be someone coming to look for him.

Sure enough, within a few days, a very nice-looking grandma and uncle came to take him away from the welfare institute.

Thinking of that person who looked so much like him, could it really not be his father?

Xiaoqi reached out and gently scratched him, big eyes fixed on Ai Ai.

Ai Ai looked at Xiaoqi, what a beautiful child!

But—

Seeing the leader, his expression changed slightly, then looked at Huo Jinnan, "I don’t want to stay here with you anymore."

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, sensing he essentially wasn’t bad, "Do you know what kind of person your mother was?"

Ai Ai raised his head, looked at Huo Jinnan, but still didn’t speak.

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, "Is your mother’s name Shu Mengmeng?"

Ai Ai looked at Huo Jinnan and finally nodded.

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, "Do you know how your mother died?"

Ai Ai thought of what that person said, stood there without answering.

Huo Jinnan intensely gazed at Ai Ai, "Are you six years old this year?"

Ai Ai nodded.

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, "Being six, you’re old enough to tell right from wrong. In a few days, I’ll have someone tell you everything."
