Lin Yuqing: "..."
More and more people gathered around, some with envious eyes and others with beaming smiles.
Many people took out their phones to record videos, chuckling softly, "I've always heard people talk about kneeling on a washboard, but I never thought I'd actually see someone kneeling on a washboard for their wife today!"
"Hahaha……"
Lin Yuqing's cheeks felt like they were burning up; she wished she could disappear into a hole.
"Lu Lishan! What's wrong with you, acting like this in broad daylight!"
"Get up quickly, stop kneeling!"
As she spoke, she tried to pull him away.
But the man's voice was even louder: "Don't touch me!"
"Anyone who delays my apology to my wife today is my enemy! I, Lu Lishan, still hold some sway in the martial arts world. Anyone who makes an enemy of me, I will absolutely..."
"Ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuqing grabbed his ear.
Although Lu Lishan looked pained, the way he stole glances at Lin Yuqing was overflowing with sweetness.
The henchmen behind him finally couldn't hold back and turned around to cover their mouths and laugh.
Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
"Enough, enough..."
"That's enough, go home!"
"Alright, alright, let's go home! Hey, honey, be gentle..." Lu Lishan was pulled up by her and followed behind her, not forgetting to hold the washboard between his legs. "Hehe, honey, what size ring do you want? Is a ten-carat ring enough?"
...
Although Jiang Can didn't see Huo Zhixing during those days, she knew he was always with her.
She knew that he slept on the sofa at night and bought breakfast before she woke up in the morning, then slipped away.
Actually, he didn't go very far; he just lingered downstairs.
Jiang Can leaned against the window, looking at his tall and lonely back, and a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart.
As time passed, several messages came from Yangcheng, urging Huo Zhixing to return immediately.
After listening, he remained silent for a long time, only instructing Fang Han to "bring my car back."
Fang Han paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Young Master, I think it would be better if you came back. The recent board meetings have practically been dominated by the Second Master and the Eldest Young Master; it seems like they want to control the entire Huo Corporation!"
"Hmm, let them be smug for a few days." Huo Zhixing chuckled coldly.
He hadn't even had time to settle the score for the harm done to him, and now they've hurt Jiang Can too. He won't let them get away with it!
"Young Master, what are your plans?"
"Just keep an eye on the board meeting for me over there. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."
After Huo Zhixing hung up the phone, Wang Meiyun, who was standing next to him, handed him a bowl of white peach oolong tea that she had prepared beforehand.
"Zhixing, you did the right thing!" Wang Meiyun pouted. "Don't listen to your grandfather's insistence on going back. That old fox is good at faking illness!"
"But as soon as he pretends to be sick, it's Huo Zhanhe's turn to jump around and cause trouble... Sigh, your father is good in every way, except that he's so stubborn that he won't utter a sound even after being hit three times, it's infuriating! He doesn't even bother to visit the old man!"
As we were talking, I suddenly realized the tone of the conversation was off. Why was he always badmouthing his father in front of his son?
"Heh, that's not what I meant," Wang Meiyun said with a smile. "I meant that if your dad could take on this responsibility, it wouldn't be Huo Zhanhe's turn. And you wouldn't have to work so hard, so you could stay here and spend all your time with Jiang Can."
"Speaking of Jiang Can... how is she? Is she still ignoring you?"
Huo Zhixing looked gloomy and shook his head.
"I think you should just take her back to Yangcheng! The Huo family has me and your father, they won't let Jiang Can suffer."
"Thank you, Aunt Yun," Huo Zhixing said with a forced smile. "I'm just afraid that doing this will make her hate me even more."
"Has Gu Mang been caught yet?"
"No," Huo Zhixing said in a low voice. "The person who took him away was very cunning and knew the various intersections in the suburbs of Jiangzhou, especially along the river. He would cover his face as soon as they arrived at a place with surveillance cameras. In addition, the car had no license plate, making the investigation a bit difficult."
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need my help," Wang Meiyun reassured her.
Huo Zhixing glanced at her gratefully, nodded slightly, and then casually asked, "When are you and Zhixin going home?"
"Let's do it in the next couple of days. Zhixin should get back into the swing of things and start preparing for her college entrance exams!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Huo Zhixin skipped and hopped in. Upon seeing her brother there, she hurriedly inquired about Jiang Can's condition.
However, Huo Zhixing noticed that there was another person following behind her.
"Greetings, Third Young Master."
Huo Zhixing scrutinized him closely. "You are..."
“My name is Yin Shaoqing. The Third Young Master probably doesn’t know me.”
So this is Yin Shaoqing.
Huo Zhixing felt a little awkward.
This young man looked to be only twenty years old, but he possessed a maturity and composure that belied his age.
He had a clean-cut, handsome face, but his eyes held an inexplicable sinister glint...
Seeing that his cup was empty, Yin Shaoqing offered to refill it. In that instant as he bent down to pour, the surveillance footage he had previously investigated flashed through Huo Zhixing's mind!
The driver in the picture isn't fully visible, but the half of his face peeking out from under his baseball cap is also thin and pale...
Huo Zhixing's heart skipped a beat!
"Are you Yin Shaoqing?"
Yin Shaoqing remained calm and stood humbly before him, nodding slightly. "Yes, Third Young Master."
"In a couple of days, you will drive Aunt Yun and Zhixin back to Yangcheng. Don't drive too fast, be careful on the road, and check before you leave to make sure your license plate is not blocked."
“Heh, Third Young Master,” Yin Shaoqing chuckled, “I’m so sorry, I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet. But I’ve already booked plane tickets to send Madam and Miss back. Don’t worry, I’ll protect their safety.”
Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, then looked at him with a complicated expression.
"I'll buy some gifts to take back and share these next few days. I heard there are a few good specialty shops in the suburbs of Jiangzhou, near the river."
"Young Master, I'm not familiar with the suburbs. Actually, this hotel sells local specialties, so I'll make arrangements before you leave."
Huo Zhixing frowned slightly.
The questions he just asked mentioned "license plate," "suburbs," and "riverside," all of which are related to Gu Mang's escape.
But this person remained calm and composed, answering questions fluently without showing the slightest bit of nervousness...
Is it really possible that he has nothing to do with this?
Huo Zhixing fell into deep thought, his doubts growing stronger.
Subconsciously, he felt he couldn't let Yin Shaoqing escort them alone, so he got up and left, calling Fang Han after leaving the Emperor Hotel.
"Remove your men. They don't need to guard my door for now." He lowered his voice. "Arrange for them to take Aunt Yun and Zhixin back to Yangcheng."
"Yes, young master."
"Also, investigate the farmhand in the family whose surname is Yin."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhixing hurried home.
Jiang Can's injuries have almost healed, but she is becoming increasingly reluctant to see people and is taking more and more showers.
Moreover, the slightest disturbance would make her as easily startled as a bird startled by a bow.
