Huo Shen walked into the living room, but the lights in the room were not on.
The red velvet carpet under the moonlight seems to contain countless secrets.
The housekeeper saw Huo Shen and walked straight over, "Master, the master said he is waiting for you in the study."
The lights in Huo Shen's father, Huo Ting's study were still off.
After Huo Shen opened the door for a long time, the person behind the desk moved, "You know that you carry the honor and disgrace of the entire Huo family on your shoulders! Everything you do cannot be manipulated by others."
"Father, why did you call me here so late? Is there something wrong?" Huo Shen walked up to his father and could see his gloomy face in the moonlight.
"I heard that you brought a female companion to Grandpa's house a few days ago. Where is your female companion now?"
"She's in school, and school is about to start." Huo Shen didn't want to explain too much.
"Really?" Huo Ting turned on the desk lamp, and the light cast a strange shadow on his face.
Then he turned on his phone and played the video for Huo Shen.
"Fiancée, wait for me!"
The video showed William Lu chasing Lin Jiu, and he kept calling her his fiancée.
Huo Shen clenched his hands, his brows furrowed.
"I didn't stop you because I heard she was the daughter of the Ye family. But she's already been to the Huo family and is flirting with other men on the street. How can she disrespect our Huo family? Especially since there are other men calling her their fiancée!"
Huo Ting became increasingly angry as he spoke, and he threw his phone at Huo Shen. "Look at yourself carefully. Your grandfather left you in charge of the Huo family's business, yet you chose a woman like this. Your uncles are extremely dissatisfied with you being in charge of the Huo Group, and they're always trying to make things difficult for you, and you still don't care about yourself!"
"Dad, there must be a misunderstanding. Xiaojiu is a good girl."
"Misunderstanding!" Huo Ting stood up angrily. "This video was provided by your uncle. You should think about how to explain this matter at the family meeting. Also, if this matter is not clarified, I will not allow this girl to enter the Huo family!"
Huo Ting slammed the study door shut and left.
Only Huo Shen was left standing there. He held the phone tightly and fiercely said a name, "William Lu!"
Suddenly, Huo Shen's cell phone rang. In such a dark and quiet room, the ringtone seemed extremely abrupt.
The call was from Xicheng.
"Mr. Huo, I found some information. Among iron deficiency diseases, the Xiao family in Nanyang had a family genetic disease. After adulthood, they will show symptoms of iron deficiency. The symptoms will then worsen, the blood will turn brown, and eventually the body will ulcerate and die in pain. They will not live past the age of 25."
"What nonsense are you talking about! The Xiao family and the Ye family in Nanyang are sworn enemies. Xiaojiu is a member of the Ye family, how could he be related to the Xiao family! Also, what kind of terrible disease are you talking about? If you mention it again in the future, I will smash your mouth!"
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
"By the way, don't investigate the iron deficiency issue anymore. Also, arrange for Xiaojiu's attending physicians and nurses at the Imperial Capital Hospital to travel abroad for their entire family for at least three months."
Xicheng didn't ask why, but he felt something was wrong. "It's Mr. Huo, I'll do it right away!"
Huo Shen almost collapsed on the sofa next to him. He felt fortunate that Lin Jiu was in the imperial capital.
As long as she was in the imperial capital, he would find a way to find her.

"What are you going to do?" Li Mo held a bunch of blood-stained tissues in her hand. She had just wiped the blood from Lin Jiu's ears and nose.
But after the bleeding stopped, Lin Jiu refused to go to the hospital.
"I plan to..." Lin Jiu looked at Li Mo and smiled strangely.
