Shen Linyue was slightly taken aback, her thick, curled eyelashes trembled, and she wanted to ask him how he knew A Xiao was at home, but then she remembered that the housekeeper had his contact information.
Everything seemed to make sense now, but the thought of him accompanying her to an auction while still handling official business made her feel a pang of heartache.
She didn't want to trouble He Liyu any further, so she put aside her doubts and nodded seriously.
"Okay, thank you. You've worked hard today." Not only had she worked hard, but she had also spent a lot of money, Shen Linyue thought to herself.
He Liyu paused, looking at the girl's fluffy head as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't speak but instead patted her head and nodded gently.
"I'll take you out to play again next time."

He Xiao woke up in his room. As his consciousness returned and he thought about what he was about to do, he instantly sat up in bed with a start.
But he found that everything around him was familiar.
And all the memories from before he fell into a coma came flooding back at this moment.
He planned to confront the group of thugs who had kidnapped Qi Yu himself, but he had to explain the situation to Lao He's bodyguard.

The bodyguards advised him against going alone and suggested reporting to He Liyu, but He Xiao didn't care. As for the bodyguards telling him to wait where he was, he pretended not to hear them.

Did Lao He already know about Qi Yu's kidnapping beforehand? That's why he showed up like this?
All sorts of thoughts swirled in his mind, but his newly awakened brain didn't allow him to think so much.
Just as I was struggling to get out of bed after throwing off the covers, the tightly closed bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Butler Uncle Xiao's kind, smiling face came into view.
"Young Master, you're awake?" The butler wasn't surprised that he woke up at this time.
He Xiao watched as his face grew increasingly dark and cold, his brows furrowing like a lion about to unleash its fury.
"You know about Lao He's plan?" he asked in a deep voice.
Uncle Xiao was surprised, then showed a helpless expression and tried to smooth things over: "Young master, I am just a person in charge of cleaning up the mess. You should ask the master for details."
He Xiao sneered, mocking, "Birds of a feather!"
