‘When Gao Rong heard this, he straightened his expression and nodded. “Got it, Second Uncle. I understand!”
“With Ms. Mo around, it seems like my poison can be cured very soon. Once the news that I’ve recovered spreads, I’m afraid there will be many people eyeing the Gao family covetously.”
Gao Qing lay on the bed with a serious expression. “That’s good too. When I recover, it’s time to manage the Gao family’s business properly!”
Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu left the hotel and had a simple meal. Under Huo Xuan’s arrangements, Uncle Zhang drove all the way back to the Huo family.
After entering, Huo Xuan didn’t care if Kang Wan had returned. He directly grabbed Mo Zhu’s hand and brought the girl back to his room.
After Mo Zhu was settled on the bed and started reading, Huo Xuan opened the closet and casually took two pieces of clothes and went to shower.
‘Mo Zhu had no objections to such an arrangement. She obediently lay on her side and casually flipped through the few magazines that Huo Xuan had stuffed into her hand.
Time ticked by. Ten minutes later, a ringtone came from the pocket of Huo Xuan’s coat that was casually placed on the bedside table. Seeing that the man had not come out of the bathroom, Mo Zhu reached out and took out her phone. She looked up at the caller ID.
Seeing that it was a call from Xu Huan, Mo Zhu quickly swiped the answer button. Xu Huan’s familiar voice instantly came from the other end of the phone. “Brother Huo, there’s news about the matter you asked me to investigate!”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and calmly changed her posture to continue the conversation. “Huo Xuan is showering. Why don’t you call him later? Or you can tell me about it.”
Hearing that it was Mo Zhu on the other end of the phone, Xu Huan coughed awkwardly and replied embarrassedly, “So it’s you, Little Bamboo. Since Brother Huo is showering, I’l talk to him about this later. There’s no hurry, there’s no hurry. You guys go ahead!”
After saying this, Xu Huan raised his hand and was about to hang up.
At this moment, the sound of water in the washroom suddenly stopped. Huo Xuan put on a simple bathrobe and pulled the door open. He asked, “Who called?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she looked up at the man who was loosely wearing a towel and said with an unnatural expression, “It’s Xu Huan.”
When Huo Xuan heard that it was Xu Huan on the other end, he immediately took a towel and placed it on his wet hair. He turned around and left the washroom before taking the phone from Mo Zhu’s hand.
“Hello? What did you find?” Huo Xuan wiped the water droplets that were still dripping from his hair with one hand and asked Xu Huan while holding his phone with the other.
On the other end, Xu Huan knew that Huo Xuan had already taken the phone. He cleared his throat and said seriously, “Brother Huo, the people we have sent to the Zhang family have been constantly changing shifts and keeping an eye on them these two days, but they didn’t obtain any useful
information.”
After a pause, Xu Huan frowned and started to change the topic. “There’s also Black Tiger, whom you asked me to investigate previously. There’s news that he has escaped from Beijing and has appeared in Southeast Asia these two days.”
“Southeast Asia? What’s he doing there?” Huo Xuan placed the towel around his neck and walked two steps to the desk in the room. He picked up his glass and took two sips of water.
Mo Zhu, who had been lying quietly on the bed, watched the man’s actions and turned her gaze to the water droplets that flowed down the man’s neck to his waist. Her face turned red without batting an eyelid. Then, she quickly picked up the magazine from the bedside table and shielded her face,
pretending to be reading seriously.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Huan was still answering seriously. “It seems like the Love Pavilion’s mission system has been updated. He and Poppy have accepted a mission in Southeast Asia at the same time. With Poppy’s help, it’s normal for him to be able to escape our ambush in Beijing easily.”
Huo Xuan put down the glass of water and nodded. Then, he looked out the window and instructed, “Send someone to keep a close eye on the movements in Southeast Asia. Once we find any traces of him, capture him immediately. Also, we cant slack off on the Zhang family’s side for the time being. For
the Zhang family to be able to stand strong in Beijing for so many years, the Zhang family must be very cautious in their actions. Tell our people to be careful!”
After saying this, Huo Xuan hung up the phone before Xu Huan could say anything else.
Huo Xuan placed his phone on the desk and charged it. He returned to the bed and quietly looked at Mo Zhu, who was flipping through a magazine in boredom.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before he could speak, Mo Zhu suddenly avoided his gaze abnormally. She stood up with an unnatural expression and placed the magazine in his arms. “It’s getting late. I have to go back and sleep.”
Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu put on her shoes, opened the door, and walked out, leaving Huo Xuan sitting by the bed with a puzzled expression.
