What Mengmeng said is all true!
"The forest fire I went to see was raging" is the truth.
"I went to see 'Kobayashi Tenmo'" is also true!
Because that's his other name!
These two seemingly different identities and names actually refer to the same person!
It was on that night that Liu Rumeng met her ex-husband again at No. 3 Repulse Bay under the pretext of a "neighbor visit" - Lin Huowang, who used the alias Xiaolin Tianwang!
However, Guo Letian seemed to have no interest in exploring the identity of "Lin Huowang" and the possibility that he was related to Xiaolin Tianwang.
He showed no regard for the down-and-out young man from the mainland.
His purpose is simple and realistic, and he only focuses on the key points that pose the most direct threat to the family's interests.
After listening to Liu Rumeng's explanation, he nodded slowly.
His gaze finally shifted away from Liu Rumeng and he stopped asking questions.
For him, it was enough to know clearly from Liu Rumeng that there was no ambiguity or private affair between her and Xiaolin Tianwang, and to confirm that the two were innocent.
As for how Lin Huowang fell into depravity, when he came to Hong Kong, and where he is now, those are all insignificant dust and not worth the attention of him, the helmsman of the Guo family.
After confirming that the core interests were safe, Guo Letian no longer dwelled on this "gossip".
He lowered his voice, turned his gaze to his two sons, and went straight into the actual stage of crisis response. He said:
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and we must not allow the Huo family to have unnecessary misunderstandings.
Zhiqiang, Zhiming, tell me, how can we... approach the Huo family in a more natural and safe way?
Or, should we find a way to convey a clear message, stating our position, emphasizing Ru Meng's innocence and that she has no connection with the Japanese?
We must not let Mr. Huo be dissatisfied, and we must not let Young Master Huo become jealous or resentful because of this!"
Guo Zhiming immediately said, "Dad, this should be done as soon as possible!
I had an appointment with Hutchison to discuss the dock warehouse this afternoon. How about... I stop by the Huo Group and find an excuse to meet with Mr. Huo? And maybe even get a feel for what he's saying?"
Guo Zhiqiang frowned: "Isn't this too deliberate? Does it make us look guilty?"
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just sit and wait!" Guo Zhiming was a little impatient.
"How about this," Guo Zhiqiang pondered, "Dad, you see... should we ask Uncle Li, your golf partner who's familiar with Mr. Huo, to pass on a message?
Or let Mrs. Chen, who is a family friend of our Guo family and a poker partner of Mrs. Huo, casually mention it at the poker table..."
Mr. Guo twisted a walnut, his eyes deep, weighing the safest way.
Just as the Guo family, father and son, were discussing strategies on how to "naturally" convey information to the Huo family, Guo Linxian seized this brief opportunity.
She could no longer suppress the questions churning in her heart, and suddenly stood up.
Her movements were a little hurried, and she even staggered slightly, but she forced herself to calm down, and her face quickly returned to its usual calmness.
"Mengmeng!"
Guo Linxian's voice trembled slightly, "Now that everything is fine here, you... come with me. I just got a cheongsam, and the material suits you very well. Come and see if the waist is suitable."
The excuse was a bit awkward, but it was normal at this time when the family was discussing serious matters.
Liu Rumeng looked up at her mother, and their eyes met briefly in the air.
Liu Rumeng's eyes were calm, without any surprise or evasion, and even had a hint of understanding.
In fact, she had been paying attention to her mother out of the corner of her eye.
She knew from her mother's slightly distraught look as she stared at the photo in the newspaper just now that her mother had recognized her.
My mother must have confirmed that the man called "Xiao Lin Tianwang" in the newspaper was Lin Huowang.
Liu Rumeng said nothing, but nodded obediently: "Okay, Mom."
She stood up and calmly followed Guo Linxian, who was obviously worried, left the noisy living room and walked into a secluded little hall next door where clothes were stored.
The heavy wooden door closed behind him, isolating him from the outside world.
In the small space, there were only mother and daughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Almost the next second after the door closed, all the calmness that Guo Linxian had pretended to maintain collapsed in an instant.
She turned around suddenly and grabbed Liu Rumeng's arm.
Her chest heaved violently, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were fixed on Liu Rumeng.
"Dream...Dream dream..."
Guo Linxian's voice trembled uncontrollably, "Tell Mom! Look into Mom's eyes and tell me!
That…that Xiaolin Tianwang…is he…is he your Awang?! Is he Lin Huowang?!
