Chapter 1345 Relieved

After dinner, Huo Yao sat in the living room with the TV still on in front of him.

The phone in my pocket rang.

It was Yuan Xi calling.

Huo Yao thought about the relationship between Yuan Huan and her. Her fingertips paused for two seconds before pressing the answer button.

"Sister Yao, I just found out that you have been on sick leave these days. Are you okay?" Yuan Xi was still coughing while speaking on the other end of the phone.

When Huo Yao heard the low cough, he raised his eyelids and said, "I'm fine, but you, are you still not well?"

Yuan Xi coughed a few more times, and then he frowned and complained, "It's almost healed now, but this cough is like an addiction, it never stops."

Huo Yao nodded, "Drink more hot water."

"I know." Yuan Xi smiled. She gently moved the figurines on the table with her fingers. Her face, which still had some baby fat, was now much thinner. "By the way, are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Rest for two more days." Huo Yao thought for a moment and replied.

"Yeah." Yuan Xi responded softly.

Her throat was always dry and uncomfortable, and she kept coughing once she started, so she hung up the phone without saying a word.

Yuan Xi put down her phone, stood up and walked out of the room, covering her mouth with her hands, and went downstairs while suppressing her cough.

Yuan's mother and father were talking downstairs, both of them had sad expressions on their faces, but when they saw Yuan Xi coming down, their expressions became more restrained.

"Dad, Mom, what happened to you?" Yuan Xi originally wanted to get a glass of water, but seeing that the two of them were acting strangely, she walked straight towards them.

Yuan's mother looked at her, hesitant to speak. After a while, she finally said, "Your eldest brother is in trouble."

When Yuan Xi heard this, she froze in place, "Something happened?"

Yuan's mother's eyes were red. She had always treated Yuan Huan as her own son. "Yes, it was said that some confidential information was leaked and he is now locked up in some special security bureau."

The Yuan father next to him had been sitting on the sofa, his hand on his forehead, looking helpless, and he seemed to have aged ten years.

"So what's the situation now?" Yuan Xi asked, clenching her fingers involuntarily.

"Your father and I asked through our connections, and they said that the crime he committed was very serious, and the chances of him being released are very small..."

Yuan's mother was still saying something, but Yuan Xi didn't listen carefully. At this moment, the only words echoing in her ears were "the chance of being released is very small."

Ever since she accidentally saw Yuan Huan dissecting a living person for an experiment a few years ago, she could no longer regard him as a normal person.

To this day, she still remembers his eyes, which were calm without any emotion, as if human life was nothing more than an ant to him, and its only value was to be used for his research.

She didn't know why Yuan Huan could be so reckless and disregard lives without being punished. She had thought about exposing his hypocritical mask, but in the end she didn't dare to do so.

Because she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of her family members, she tried her best to escape from him over the years, but... she couldn't escape no matter what.

Yuan Xi covered her mouth and coughed again. It felt like something in her throat was about to come out. It was obviously very uncomfortable, but at this moment she felt unusually relaxed.

People like her eldest brother should have been arrested long ago.

Yuan Xi lowered his head, a hint of relief rising at the corners of his lips that he didn't know how to describe.

It doesn't matter if she can't get out... This way she won't have to worry every moment, afraid that one day she will wake up and find herself lying on his laboratory table.
