Chapter 22: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Ah Da paused: "The Huo family?"
Su Youran put her hands behind her back and nodded:
"The Huo family is an old family in Sucheng. They are very powerful. The head of the family, Huo Guangchun..."
She looked up at Ah Da expectantly: "Have you heard of it?"
Ah Da frowned slightly, as if he was thinking seriously, and finally shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Su Youran couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then she comforted him, "It's okay, I'll remember it eventually."
Ah Da's eyes were dark: "Miss, do you think I have any connection with the Huo family?"
Su Youran turned sideways and continued walking forward:
"I asked my eldest brother about it. He came back yesterday and told me that he remembered that the eldest son of the Huo family went missing after studying abroad a few years ago. The time was about the same as when I found you..."
Su Youran looked at Ah Da who followed her closely:
"Didn't you also say that you are familiar with Sucheng? There are only a few families worth mentioning in Sucheng. My eldest brother looked through them and only the eldest son of the Huo family is the most likely candidate."
Seeing Ah Da's serious expression, she tried to joke:
"Of course, this is just speculation. What if you sneaked abroad? It would be difficult to investigate then."
Ah Da's eyes flashed:
"No. If it wasn't profitable, why did those people rob me? It means I have a lot of things with me..."
He turned and stared at Su Youran:
"Miss, can you tell me more about the Huo family?"
Su Youran looked quite distressed:
"I know very little, well... I just know that there is a second young master in his family."
No one would specifically tell her about the troubles of the previous generation.
Su Youran looked at Ah Da and roughly gestured: “That Second Young Master is about the same height as you, and should be about the same age.”
Ah Da's eyes were heavy:
"If I am really from the Huo family, then it is possible that I do not have the same mother as this Second Young Master."
Su Youran seemed to have never thought about this question before, and was stunned when she heard him say this:
"Is that so?"
She stroked her chin and suggested:
"My eldest brother will probably be back soon. How about I take you to see him? He must know more than me."
Ah Da nodded: "I want to understand the other party's situation clearly before confirming it."
He has no memory now, so he has no way of judging who is good or bad. If he doesn't prepare in advance, he won't even know when he's been cheated.
Su Youran grabbed Ah Da’s hand and said, “Let’s go wait in front. Maybe Big Brother has already returned.”
Ah Da followed Su Youran to the main building in a daze. His eyes fell on her hand holding his. His eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out of them.
Su Youran was right. When they arrived at the main building, Su Yu just walked in.
He came back earlier today than usual because he was thinking about the Huo family and that Ah Da.
If Ah Da is really the head of the Huo family, then there are some things that need to be carefully considered.
The Huo family and Ye Jiuzhou were at odds, and the Su family had an engagement with Ye Jiuzhou, so it should have been a foregone conclusion that the Ye family would be on their side.
However, if Su Youran really saved the eldest son of the Huo family, it might not be a bad thing for the Su family.
Not to mention the good fortunes, if the Su family simply maintains a neutral attitude, they will never suffer any loss.
Su Yu thought about it again and again and decided to come back to talk to A Da to see if he should act as a middleman and let him meet with the Huo family.
Whether it was true or not, the Huo family had to confirm it. But he didn't expect that Ah Da also wanted to ask him about the Huo family.
When Su Yu saw Ah Da again, he couldn't help but look at him carefully, comparing him with Huo Guangchun and Huo Zhenyao whom he had seen in his memory.
No wonder he always felt that this Ah Da looked familiar. He was indeed four or five points similar to Huo Guangchun.
It’s just that one is old and majestic, and the other is young and handsome, so they didn’t think of going together.
Su Yu gestured to Ah Da: "Let's talk in the study upstairs?"
Before Ah Da could say anything, Su Youran said, “I want to listen, too.”
Su Yu was helpless: "Some things are not suitable for you to hear."
“Brother, are you discriminating against women? Mom!” Su Youran glared at Wu Shuxian, who was still sitting on the sofa, and shouted, “Mom, brother looks down on…”
Su Yu quickly covered Su Youran's mouth and took her upstairs:
"I'm scared of you, little aunt! Come on, come on, why don't we go together?"
Su Youran took his hand away, snorted proudly, and took the lead.
Su Yu pulled her braid from behind: "What an ancestor!"
Su Youran pulled her hair back and turned around to glare at him.
There was indulgence and smile in Ah Da's eyes. Su Yu glanced at it inadvertently and his expression changed slightly, then returned to normal.
Wu Shuxian looked at the three people going upstairs and shook her head in amusement. What are these two siblings doing?
After the three of them sat down in the study, Su Yu looked at Ah Da and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Ah Da had no expression on his face: “All of them.”
Su Yu pondered:
"Our Su family has not had much contact with the Huo family, and what I know is limited..."
He told Ah Da about Huo Guangchun's entanglement with the two women, as well as Mrs. Huo's current mental condition.
Su Youran seemed very angry:
"You men, you are always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl, you are fickle-minded, and when you are comfortable, the women are the ones who are pitiful!"
Su Yu couldn't help but cry out for injustice:
"Miss, what does this have to do with me? I don't even have a favorite person, so how can I be indecisive?"
"Brother, if you dare to do this, be careful or I'll let dad beat you up!"
Su Yu kept on assuring:
"Of course not. With you, my little ancestor, watching over me, I wouldn't dare to do that even if I had ten times the courage."
Ah Da said silently in his heart: "I don't know how to do that either. I am so lucky to have a young lady."
Su Youran looked at Ah Da with concern:
"Ah Da... then do you want to meet the Huo family first? Madam Huo... must be very concerned about her son. If you are really the Huo Zhenxun that my eldest brother said, maybe Madam Huo's illness will be cured after seeing you."
"Don't worry." Ah Da shook his head and continued to ask Su Yu: "Who is in charge of the Huo family now?"
Su Yu looked at Ah Da in surprise. He was a man who had a plan in mind and acted after careful consideration. He smiled in appreciation:
"Mr. Huo is still in charge now."
Ah Da grasped the key point sharply: "In other words, the second young master has taken over part of the Huo family's affairs?"
Su Yu leaned back in his chair leisurely:
"Yes, although Mr. Huo is unwilling to give up power, I heard that his health has not been very good in the past two years. The Huo family has been unstable for a while, and it was all thanks to the second young master Huo who stabilized the situation and won a group of loyal fans."
Ah Da lowered his eyes and looked at the calluses on the palm of his hand. If he was really Huo Zhenxun, he would have to speed up his movements.
If Huo Zhenyao really takes complete control of the Huo family, even if he is really Huo Zhenxun, he will no longer have a place in the Huo family.
By then, not only would she not be able to return to the Huo family, she would also have to keep hiding and not be discovered by Huo Zhenyao.
And even now, when Huo Zhenyao has not yet taken control of the Huo family, if he goes back, he has to be on guard at all times, fearing that Huo Zhenyao and those who support him will continue to harm him in order to maintain their position.
Ah Da was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "At that time...how much did the eldest master know about Huo Zhenxun's going abroad?"
Su Yu was stunned and sat up straight: "What do you mean?"
Ah Da looked him straight in the eyes:
"He shouldn't have gone abroad alone, right? Who followed him? Where is he now? If that person also disappeared, does he have family members in the Huo family? Can you please help me check if there are any abnormalities among the people involved in the past few years?"
Su Yu frowned: "Are you suspicious?"
Su Youran screamed, “Ah Da, do you think that the robbery and beating you suffered wasn’t an accident?”
Seeing that Su Youran seemed frightened, Ah Da quickly tried to comfort her:
"It's alright Miss, I just want to know more clearly. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Su Youran clenched her fists and thought carefully about how she saved Ah Da:
"When I saw you, you were already unconscious, with blood all over your head and body. It was obvious that you were beaten. There was no one around, and there was only an empty box on the ground. Later, I gave it to you."
Ah Da nodded:
"Yes, I brought the box back too, but there is no information on it. It is just an ordinary box. But it is of good quality, so it should be expensive."
That's why he was even more certain that he was not from an ordinary family.
Su Youran continued to recall:
"Chun Tao and I took you to the hospital and called the police, but they didn't find anything. I think it was done by local thugs, but there's no evidence."
Su Yu continued:
"If it really wasn't an accident, but someone deliberately wanted to harm you, then the person who harmed you could only be someone with whom you had a conflict of interest..."
He swallowed the three words "Second Young Master Huo" without saying them out loud, but Ah Da understood it in his heart.
He started to suspect him after hearing that he had a half-brother.
"But……"
Su Yu couldn't figure it out:
"He didn't have the ability to harm you at that time, not to mention that you were in a foreign country where even the Huo family couldn't reach you, so it was even more impossible."
Ah Da's expression was unpredictable:
"So I want to check if there was anyone following me at the time? If there was, that person would be the key."
He could be bribed, exploited or coerced, no matter what means are used, as long as the people who followed him are obedient and he finds someone to harm him when he arrives abroad, then it makes sense.
Of course, the premise of all this is that A Da is the missing eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Zhenxun.
Ah Da felt that he was, he had this feeling for some reason. If possible, he actually wanted to meet Mrs. Huo first.
If he is really Huo Zhenxun, the only person who shares the same interests with him and will not harm him is Mrs. Huo.
But she was crazy...
A Da didn't know how crazy she was. Did she not recognize anyone at all or was she sometimes crazy and sometimes conscious?
He has no strength now, so he cannot alert the enemy. If Huo Zhenyao really did it, he would be even more terrifying now because he is totally different from what he was then.
Ah Da thought that he couldn't confront Huo Zhenyao without any preparation.
It would be great if we could first find evidence that Huo Zhenyao had harmed him...
