Chapter 268 He is just protecting himself

The young master of the Lu family is always accompanied by bodyguards whenever he travels.

People like them also pay great attention to safety.

There is no way such a young child would be left alone.

Why did all the bodyguards suddenly become sick and depressed on the day of the incident?

One of the bodyguards even told him frankly that he just didn't see Xiaoxiao for two seconds.

In just two seconds, right in her own shopping mall, her child suddenly disappeared from the world.

In the past, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jun thought that someone must have sneaked into the Lu family’s shopping mall, which caused Xiaoxiao to disappear without a trace in such a short period of time.

But now, Tan Shu and Lu Jun no longer think so.

Yecheng and Jiangcheng are not far away from each other.

After learning that Xiaoxiao was missing, they arranged a large number of personnel to closely investigate Jiangcheng and other cities not too far away.

The investigation has not stopped to this day.

It is no exaggeration to say that their people have searched almost the entire Jiangcheng and Yecheng.

However, even so, there was no trace of Xiaoxiao.

This is weird!

Huo Ning frowned, "I do know who is the culprit who caused Lu Xiao to become like this, but you may not believe what I say."

Huo Ning's voice was very faint.

She didn't think that the Lu family would have 100% trust in what she was going to say next just because she had found Lu Xiao.

When she finished speaking, Lu Jun's heart skipped a beat and several names popped up in his mind.

Tan Shu was actually much calmer than him.

She looked at Huo Ning and said, "Master Huo, please say whatever you want. I can still bear it."

Huo Ning counted on her fingers and said to Tan Shu and Lu Jun, "Come to think of it, you all know this person, and you have known him for a long time."

Lu Jun felt even more uneasy.

If what she said is true, then this person is most likely their most familiar relative or friend.

If this is true, the other party is too sinister.

It's too beastly and vicious!

Tan Shu and Lu Jun looked at Huo Ning, "Just tell me who he is."

Huo Lin lowered her eyes, and the next moment, she uttered a name that was unexpected to Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jun.

"It's Huo Zhenting."

This time, both Lu Jun and his wife were shocked.

It’s not that they have a good relationship with Huo Zhenting.

A family with a solid foundation like the Lu family would look down upon a phoenix man like Huo Zhenting who used his wife to gain power and then killed all the people.

They were just shocked that Huo Zhenting would actually attack Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao is just a child and has no grudge against Huo Zhenting!

Lu Jun frowned and looked at Huo Ning deeply. "Master Huo, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

He had almost guessed Huo Ning's identity.

She was kicked out of the Huo family by Huo Zhenting when she was 18 years old. Lu Jun couldn't be so naive as to think that Huo Ning still had any residual father-daughter feelings for Huo Zhenting.

Lu Jun really wanted to cut the person who harmed Xiaoxiao into pieces.

But that doesn't mean he's easy to be taken advantage of.

He was unwilling and didn't want to be a tool for others' revenge.

Huo Ning smiled and said, "So I said, you won't believe what I say."

She glanced at Tan Shu and said, "I have received your divination fee, so I cannot lie to you. Otherwise, I will suffer serious consequences."

"The fact is that the project that the Fok family wanted to take over in cooperation with the government was taken by the Lu family first. Fok Chun-ting was planning to use it to turn things around, but unfortunately the opportunity was taken away by the Lu family."

"Huo Zhenting was filled with hatred, but unfortunately, Master Gao and Master Chengyuan were already dead by then. He could not seize the fortune of the Lu family, nor did he have the ability to destroy the Lu family. So he found Cen Xiu and vented his anger on the youngest Lu Xiao."

The expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jun suddenly turned extremely ugly.

The project in cooperation with the government was indeed won by the Lu family.

The Huo family did want to compete, but unfortunately they were not as skilled as others.

However, this project has not started yet, so not many people know about it.

She is indeed quite capable to be able to calculate this.

Huo Ning shook her head and her eyes fell on Lu Jun and his wife.

"Do you know why the Lu family has spent 30 million to find Lu Xiao, and even though your family members are ready to turn Yecheng upside down, you still can't find Lu Xiao?"

Lu Jun frowned, this was also what he found strange.

"Why?"

"Huo Zhenting asked Shum Xiu to cast a spell on Lu Xiao. Everyone sees him differently. He has countless faces, but no one can see his original face."

Otherwise, why would Lu Xiao suffer such inhumane abuse?

The traffickers wanted to make money from him, so his limbs were repeatedly broken.

However, in order to find Lu Xiao, the Lu family issued a missing person notice with a reward of 30 million.

A businessman wouldn't give up even 30 million just for a few small things!

The reason why the Lu family hasn't been able to find the person for so long is because, even in the eyes of the human traffickers, Lu Xiao's face is not the same as it used to be.

Huo Ning said calmly: "If you don't believe it, just find someone with a higher cultivation level than Cen Xiu and do the math and you will know."

She really disliked the Huo family.

But there is no need to slander the other party on such matters.

Tan Shu and Lu Jun looked at each other.

Huo Ning is not the only famous master in Jiangcheng.

With the strength of the Lu family, it is not difficult to find a master of metaphysics who is more powerful than Cen Xiu.

If what Huo Ning said was false, they only needed to ask the master to calculate it, and her lie would be exposed.

Tan Shu's face darkened. She was afraid that what Huo Ning said was true.

Is it the Huo family?

Oh.

At this time, Lu Xiao timidly raised his head and looked at Huo Ning, "Sister..."

Huo Ning reached out and touched his head. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao. You are safe now. Everyone will protect you."

Lu Xiao had tears in her eyes, and her small body trembled a bit. She still looked at Huo Ning cautiously, "Sister..."

He didn't trust his parents, nor did he dare to trust the little brother brought by his sister too much.

He only trusts his sister.

My sister beat those bad guys away and saved him.

When Tan Shu saw her son looking at her with fear and wariness in his eyes, she felt her heart break.

It was like someone took an ice pick and stabbed it hard into her heart.

Lu Jun's eyes were bloodshot, he turned his head, and choked up: "Master Huo, why is Xiaoxiao afraid of even her parents?"

Normally, if a child is taken home after being abused, he or she will not trust anyone except his or her parents.

But Xiaoxiao is afraid of even him.

If he got a little closer, Xiaoxiao would scream in fear.

Huo Ning sighed, with a look of pity in her eyes, "When he first fell into the hands of the traffickers, he cried and said he wanted to go home and see his parents."

"Every time he mentioned the words related to his parents, he would be severely beaten, even if he mentioned his brother. After being beaten so many times, he began to fear and be afraid of everything related to his family."

"He is not rejecting you nor does he distrust you. He is just subconsciously protecting himself in this way. You need to be patient and give him some time..."

Shit, do you know what outrageous things I wrote before I revised it? I wrote: Lu Xiao, whose legs and arms were broken, timidly stretched out a hand, grabbed the corner of Huo Ning's clothes, and cried, "Sister..."
