Chapter 281 Huo Yan Confessed
After they left, Xue Mingxuan said to Bai Shuya, "You have been wronged today. You don't have to swallow your anger in the future. Huo Yan has reached this position today, and you don't have to worry about anything. In the end, they will have to support you."
Bai Shuya looked at Xue Mingxuan in surprise. She didn't expect her to say these words to her.
Xue Mingxuan added: "You have followed Huo Yan for so many years. You naturally know what to do and what not to do. Your status is one of the best in the base. You should think carefully about what means to use. Don't let others take advantage of your and Huo Yan's mistakes."
Bai Shuya immediately thought of what she had done to Li Yao before.
Huo Yan wanted to say a few words to help Bai Shuya, but Xue Mingxuan glared at him and he was immediately speechless.
Finally, she said to Bai Shuya, "You go back and rest first. I have something to ask Huo Yan."
Bai Shuya went back to rest alone, and Huo Yan followed Xue Mingxuan to the study.
As soon as Huo Yan sat down, Xue Mingxuan said, "I know that you and Shen Yan have been doing your own things for the past month. It's a big deal, so I didn't dare to ask more. But I noticed that you've been running to Yaoyao's place recently."
Huo Yan quickly explained: "No, mom, Li Yao and I don't have a romantic relationship, we are just good friends." He was afraid that Xue Mingxuan would misunderstand.
Xue Mingxuan rolled her eyes: "I know that a good girl like Li Yao would not look down on you."
Huo Yan nodded: "Of course."
"I didn't want to ask you." Xue Mingxuan sighed, "But I have a lot of doubts in my heart. If I don't ask them, I won't be able to sleep." She looked at Huo Yan, "So what did you do? What does the research institute have to do with you... and Li Yao?"
Huo Yan knew that he couldn't hide it from his mother. His mother seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, but he knew that the methods she could use were no worse than his.
There was nothing she didn't know, so she just confessed, "The matter of the research institute can be considered to have been solved by Li Yao."
Huo Yan told the whole story, but he didn't say a word about the confidentiality.
Finally, he said, "We have sent people there before, but there has been very little news in the past three years. However, it has been of great use to us. In the past six months, the institute has almost cut off contact with the outside world, and we have lost the news from inside the institute. Later, the core area asked us to send 10,000 people from each area."
He seemed to recall the tragic situation in the institute again.
He said sadly: "The institute had made two preparations at the beginning. After we learned the news, 50,000 to 60,000 people had already gone in. We wanted to stop it, but there was more than one force behind the institute. Those who opposed the institute lost countless people."
Xue Mingxuan could only hear her own heart beating.
Huo Yan continued: "Shen Yan and I took the risk to find Li Yao and planned this."
"You, you really are." Xue Mingxuan kept yelling "you guys" for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. She covered her chest and it took her a long time to recover.
Huo Yan quickly stepped forward to calm her down. Huo Yan said, "After this, I have nothing but admiration for Li Yao. She has done things that many people have not done. In the past three years, from what I know, two or three hundred people have been lost. Those were the talents we trained. Their deaths were heartbreaking. Now..."
He choked up and said, "We are still checking their remains."
Anyone who has been to the research institute will come out with red eyes. There are countless dead bones buried underground in the institute.
Huo Yan stared at Xue Mingxuan: "I know my mother's ability. If I don't tell you, you will definitely use the power in your hands to investigate. You understand that if there is any omission, you will be in danger."
"Besides, Dong Weiqing is not dead yet. Everyone is eyeing the stuff on him. Huo Yan and I seem to be in great glory, but if we are not careful, people will want to kill us. Mom, I, Chen Yan and Li Yao cannot be exposed. Our existence can deter those who are watching secretly, but once we die, there will be a second research institute immediately."
"How many people are left in the human base for them to worry about?"
Xue Mingxuan was silent: "I know what you mean. Don't worry, even if I die, I won't say a word."
Huo Yan smiled bitterly. He knew what his mother meant and could only console her: "Just pretend you don't know. I'm still here."
Xue Mingxuan waved her hand: "Don't worry, it's not that difficult. I know how old you are and how much you've experienced. Who can do anything to me about this matter at the base?"
She was targeted at first because she was too arrogant, but things are different now.
Huo Yan nodded and just said one more thing: "Just pretend you didn't hear me."
Xue Mingxuan returned to her room in silence. She hadn't slept well the whole night as her mind was tossing and turning. When she was having breakfast the next day, Huo Yan felt a pang in his heart when he saw the dark circles under his mother's eyes.
This is a sleepless night.
They had just finished breakfast and the sun came out for a rare moment.
Li Yao has been looking outside since she got up in the morning. Ning Xinyue knew that she had been feeling cooped up in her room for the past few days and now she couldn't go out.
He smiled and said, "Let's pack up later and I'll take you out for a walk."
Li Yao nodded. In that damn place called the research institute, there was no sun or moon for a month, but she did experience two snowstorms.
Yan Yuansi brought out breakfast. Now Yan Yuansi has become extremely virtuous.
While they were eating, Huo Yan came over with a lot of bags. When he saw Li Yao, he felt guilty again.
"Mr. Huo, you're here to please me instead of doing your own things this morning." Huo Yan couldn't even hide the guilty expression on his face.
"Um..." Huo Yan put down his things and Li Yao just took a look.
Huo Yan could only bite the bullet and say, "I was just wondering if you still have any strawberries. We ate all the ones we had yesterday, and my mom likes them, so I came to ask for some more."
Li Yao looked at her steadily. Huo Yan could only withstand her pressure. He rolled his eyes and told her everything that happened with Xue Minghui last night.
"I don't have any other choice." Huo Yan smiled bitterly.
Li Yao put down her chopsticks: "There's still a little bit."
Huo Yan understood what she meant, and one more thing, it was only enough for his mother to eat alone.
Thinking of the bad relationship between Li Yao and Bai Shuya, he nodded quickly: "I know, one thing is also good."
Li Yao picked a box for him, then said to Huo Yan: "What you gave is too valuable. A box of strawberries is not worth much. Take the things back."
Huo Yan smiled and said, "You don't know the market outside. Just this box of strawberries, even if I took twice as many of these things, there would still be people buying them."
Li Yao shook her head: "Yesterday's is enough, no need for today, just consider these as my filial piety to Aunt Xue."
She knew that after what happened at the research institute, Huo Yan and Shen Yan's status in the human base had improved a lot.
When a zombie outbreak occurs in the future and the production crew wants to cause trouble, they can take advantage of Huo Yan.
