Huo Qi saw Lin Ruanruan's message as soon as it arrived. He had actually been keeping an eye on the Xu family's movements recently.
He immediately called Lin Ruanruan back via WeChat, asking, "Ruanruan, were you scared?"
Lin Ruanruan is already watching TV inside. "A little, but it feels too sudden, and Xu Yelu doesn't seem like it..."
“I know, and it really wasn’t Xu Yelu who did it.” Huo Qi’s voice was slightly cold. “But she’s not innocent either. She knew about these things, and she even used those advantages to harm many people.”
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened instantly. Could the mastermind be the Xu family? But does the Xu family have that much power?
"Aruan, that's all I can tell you right now. Just know that Xu Yelu is innocent."
Lin Ruanruan gave a soft "hmm". The fact that someone she had just seen was sentenced so quickly was still a big shock to her.
"Won't the person behind this do something bad to Brother Huo and you?" Lin Ruanruan clutched her pajamas. "I suddenly feel like this world is so dangerous."
There's some unknown organization that's involved in both drug trafficking and organ sales.
Huo Qi chuckled softly, "Don't worry, everything is under control."
Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from Huo Gege's tone, he must know a lot of things. Since that was the case, she wasn't worried anymore. Huo Gege was much smarter than her, so he would definitely be fine.
For some reason, Lin Ruanruan had absolute trust in Huo Qi.
Now that the plot is completely messed up, so be it. Fate is unpredictable, and every decision will change the future.
She just needs to be herself and cherish everyone around her.
"What is Ah Ruan doing now?"
Lin Ruanruan nestled into the sofa. "I'm watching TV inside the room."
"I remember Yang Province is mostly hilly and mountainous?"
While looking at the documents in his hand, Huo Qi chatted with Lin Ruanruan to prolong the call. He hadn't seen Ruanruan for so many days, and it was definitely a lie for him to say he didn't miss her.
"Yes, our Linjia Village is surrounded by mountains, and the snow is especially heavy in winter."
"That's great. I'm in the south by the sea now, and there's no snow at all." Huo Qi's tone carried a hint of regret. "I really hope I'll have the chance to visit Aruan's hometown someday."
Lin Ruanruan said with a sweet smile, "Come visit whenever you have time. This place is nice all year round."
"Oh, right, speaking of which," Lin Ruanruan suddenly thought of Fang Si, "Brother Fang Si is coming to visit me in the next couple of days."
"Hmm?" Huo Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Fang Si?"
"Yeah, Aunt Huang is forcing him to go on blind dates. He just happened to be in Yang Province on business, so he wanted to avoid me." Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
"Oh, really? He actually ran away. That's not like him at all." Huo Qi was chatting with Lin Ruanruan while his hands were already on his computer. He found Fang Si's WeChat and asked him directly why he went to Yang Province.
Fang Si replied quickly, saying that he had already boarded the plane and was going to the headquarters of the Apple Charitable Foundation in Yang Province.
'I'll go too; my status should make things easier for me than yours.'
"Ah Qi is so kind. Shall I wait for you at my sister's house?"
Huo Qi's lips curled slightly. 'Maybe I was here before you.'
Great, now he has a reason to abandon his official duties and go see his little rabbit.
"Aruan, I came with Fang Si this time, you don't mind, do you?"
Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked happily, "Brother Huo is coming to Lin Family Village too?"
"Hmm, does Aruan welcome Brother Huo?"
We must welcome this with both hands and feet!
Huo Qi's upturned lips never disappeared. He went to find his father while making a phone call, "Okay, I'll bring you some local specialties later."
Huo Xian was chatting with Ms. Yan outside when she noticed Huo Qi passing by in a very good mood. Had her brother tricked someone again? He seemed so happy.
Huo Qicai hadn't gone far when he found Huo's father playing chess with his grandfather. He covered his phone and whispered a few words in his father's ear.
Mr. Huo's expression instantly turned serious. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision in his heart, "Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road."
Huo Qi nodded, greeted Grandpa Huo, and left with light steps, asking Lin Ruanruan on the other end of the phone what local delicacies she wanted to eat as he walked away.
He also listed many snacks that were easy to carry, making Lin Ruanruan want to eat them all.
Grandpa Huo didn't ask much about the father and son's affairs; he continued playing chess as if he hadn't seen anything.
By the time Huo Xian learned from her father that her brother wasn't coming back, Huo Qi was already about to board the plane.
She immediately called Huo Qi, "Brother, where are you going? I didn't see you at dinner. Dad said you were going to run some business?"
"What kind of business requires you to run around during the Chinese New Year?"
Huo Qi paused for a moment, then thought to himself, "Oh no, I forgot to tell Huo Xian that I was going to find Aruan."
Huo Qi coughed. "I have some business in Yang Province, and I'll stop by Aruan's house while I'm there."
"What?" Huo Xian's eyes widened. "Why didn't you take me? I also want to go to Ruan Ruan's hometown."
Lately, she has only been contacting Ruanruan on WeChat. She really wants to meet Ruanruan in person, okay?
Huo Qi chuckled and said directly, "It's time, I have to board the plane. I'll hang up now and we'll talk later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately. Huo Qi touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. It was his fault; he had really forgotten about his sister.
Huo Xian stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up. "Is this really my brother?"
At this moment, Fang Lan shared the same question as Huo Xian. He sat at the dining table, pointed to Fang Si's seat, and said, "My brother is really gone?"
Fang's mother rolled her eyes at him. "Yes, your brother left. Honestly, all you did was set him up on a blind date, and he ran off faster than a rabbit."
Knowing everything, Mr. Fang sat in the main seat, smiling but saying nothing. His eldest son had indeed gone to Yang Province ahead of time for a blind date. Originally, they planned to go after the New Year under the pretext of discussing business.
But now that they have the excuse of a blind date, they can go earlier.
Tears welled up in Fang Lan's eyes. His brother had abandoned him and left. Wouldn't that mean he would be brought up by his mother every day for the next few days?
I promised him I'd take him with me at 8 a.m. tomorrow, but his brother went to Dad's study and then disappeared!
Is this really his own brother?
At the same time, Huo Qi and Fang Si, who were sitting on the plane, sneezed simultaneously. Hmm, it must be their younger sister/brother talking about them behind their backs.
