As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and played with it in her palm!

This time, Huo Jinnan would never have expected it.

Heh, she’ll just quietly watch the drama unfold.

She put down the phone, glanced at the green card on the bedside table, picked it up, looked at it repeatedly, and kissed it lightly.

...

Huo Jinnan called Huo Bei, "Go check where Xiang Xiran is now."

The next day, Huo Bei returned to Nanyuan Villa.

Huo Jinnan was standing on the balcony of the study, lighting a cigarette, leaning against the white painted railing as he looked in Huo Bei’s direction.

Huo Bei said, "Sir, Xiang Xiran has gone to M Country and applied for political asylum."

Huo Jinnan took a drag on his cigarette without speaking.

Huo Bei continued, "The lawyer handling the bail is Du Bin from the Jinshan Jinmei Law Firm."

Du Bin?

The same Du Bin who handled the car accident case in Li City last time?

Huo Jinnan frowned, "Keep an eye on Du Bin for now, let Yu Zimu manage the company matters alone for the time being." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Huo Bei replied with an "Alright," and quickly went to investigate Du Bin.

Huo Jinnan stood in the study, looking down at the burning cigarette butt between his fingers, his eyes growing darker and colder.

Suddenly, there was a feeling as if a net was slowly tightening.

The current situation was somewhat chaotic, with Shu Cunyu on one hand, Ai Ai, Xiang Xiran, and the person who delivered the dead infant...

It’s certain that the person who contacted Ai Ai and the one who bailed Xiang Xiran out are closely related or might be the same person.

Who exactly is trying to take on the Huo and Qin families?

After finishing one cigarette, he lit a second one.

Even after finishing, there were still no important clues.

So he decided to wait quietly for everything to reveal itself.

He extinguished the cigarette, went downstairs to the living room, where Zhong Qin and Qin Huan were holding Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi.

The old man held Xiaoliao, "man~"

He puckered his lips, mimicking Xiaoliao’s earlier crying face.

Xiaoliao looked at the old man.

The old man moved closer to Xiaoliao, "man~"

Suddenly, Xiaoliao frowned, his little mouth quivered, and he began to cry, louder and louder, his little face turning red from exertion.

Qin Huan, "..."

Zhong Qin, "..."

The old man was also stunned, watching helplessly as Xiaoliao cried even harder, "Oh, my darling, I’m sorry, Great-Grandpa won’t mimic you anymore."

"Great-Grandpa was wrong."

"Great-Grandpa won’t dare again."

"There, there, don’t cry, don’t cry."

...

Xiaoliao cried until tears were streaming down when he saw Huo Jinnan and stopped crying.

Huo Jinnan walked over and picked up Xiaoliao.

The old man stood up with his cane, looking at Xiaoliao.

Xiaoliao glanced at the old man, then looked away.

The old man moved closer, "Xiaoliao."

Xiaoliao looked elsewhere again.

The old man spoke excitedly, "This little rascal, he knows how to get angry now and is ignoring me. I was just mimicking him."

"..." Zhong Qin and Qin Huan didn’t know what to say.

Huo Jinnan held Xiaoliao, "Let Daddy have a look."

Xiaoliao looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan raised his big hand, wiped away his tears, "Give me the bib."

Qin Huan handed it to Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan looked at Xiaoliao, helping him wipe away his tears.

The old man wanted to hold Xiaoliao again, but Xiaoliao kicked him lightly and nestled into Huo Jinnan’s arms, burying his little head into his shirt.

Huo Jinnan handed Xiaoliao to Qin Huan and looked at Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi beamed a smile at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan picked up Xiaoqi, "Great-Grandpa bullied your brother, what should we do?"

Xiaoqi smiled at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan glanced at the old man, remembering how Uncle Guan had been managing the old man’s business, "Grandpa, let Uncle Guan go over to the company to help for a while."
