Chapter 775 Scare People Away

Huo Lanci thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was not absent.

If this is really the case, then the other party must be aiming for something big.

I hope Huo Xi can find the person out as soon as possible.

Lu Jingan nodded: "I also think it is more likely that they are using my Shengmei to set up a trap."

Mr. Huo happened to hear the conversation between the two and looked over: "No matter who it is, as long as they dare to set up this trap, we can catch them."

"I'm not afraid of him setting up a trap, I'm afraid of him not taking action."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing'an looked over, guessed the old man's identity, and quickly stepped forward to greet Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."

Lu Jingan didn't see Yu Wanqing, so he asked curiously, "Where's Xiaowu?"

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "She went to give acupuncture to someone next door."

"He's been gone for a while and should be back soon." Mr. Huo was worried that Lu Jing'an would feel uncomfortable, so he started to find topics to talk to him.

Although Mr. Huo came from a military background, he was actually a very good scholar when he was young. He only gave up literature and took up military service because the country needed him.

Both of them were knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

When Yu Wanqing came back to start the meal, the two of them were still not satisfied.

She smiled and asked, "What did Grandpa and Uncle Lu talk about?"

"History." Mr. Huo replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that Professor Lu is not only capable of doing research, but also quite knowledgeable about history."

“It was really unexpected.”

After listening to this, Lu Jingan smiled and said, "My wife and daughter like to study history. As time goes by, I start to read books with them. I learn a lot from listening to them talk about historical anecdotes."

Speaking of this, Lu Jing'an wanted to sigh. Thinking that this was at the Yu family, he hid all the discomfort and sadness in his heart.

He laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I discussed the past and present with someone like this. Mr. Huo is very knowledgeable and talented. I really admire him."

Mr. Huo waved his hands and said, "I am a rough man and cannot compare with you scholars."

Wen Shuanghua brought the dishes over and smiled as she invited them to eat: "Whether we are talking about the past or the present, or doing anything else, we need to fill our stomachs first so that we can have the energy to continue talking about other things."

Everyone was amused by her words.

On the second night that Lu Jingan stayed at Yu's house, Huo Xi came to visit.

Wen Shuanghua knew that they were going to discuss serious matters, so she and Xu Xiuqing and Aunt Zhuang quickly went to play next door with their children.

Yu Wanqing asked Huo Xi: "Comrade Huo Xi, is there any news?"

"Someone is setting up a trap to target the people at the research base." Huo Xi looked at Lu Jing'an and said, "I have already reported this to my superiors. Now everyone should hurry up and investigate Comrade Sheng Mei's case."

"Professor Lu, don't worry, as long as there is news, we will inform you as soon as possible."

When Lu Jingan's guess was confirmed, she thought of the friend who notified her to come to Beijing and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been so long since I left, but there are still people who care about our research."

"No matter how long you can open the capital city, as long as you are still doing research, they will be thinking about your achievements." Huo Xi reminded: "During this time, you should live in the Huo family. It should be the safest place here."

"When we went to investigate this matter, we also encountered people who were looking for missing persons."

Huo Xi couldn't help laughing when he thought about this: "They ran right into our hands, and took them all back for questioning."

After hearing this, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "They really don't have long eyes."

"It's true that they are a bit short-sighted. It's a pity that they are just some small fish and shrimp. If there is a big fish among them, it may be of great help to the direction we will pursue next." Speaking of this, Huo Xi couldn't help but feel regretful.

Mr. Huo looked at Huo Xi and said, "Young man, you must be patient. What you have done will leave traces. The more nervous and impatient you are, the more likely you are to miss some clues."

Huo Xi nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa is right, Huo Xi understands."

Huo Lanci raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Xi: "Are you not going to cover it up?"

Huo Xi chuckled: "Brother Aci, this matter really cannot be blamed on me. I was just following the teachings of my ancestors."

My brother Aci...

Huo Lanci even wanted to kill someone.

In terms of age, he was actually younger than Huo Xi, and even his eldest brother had to call him cousin.

It's inexplicable, but I have a brother above me. This feeling is really not very good.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

A few people were talking when there was a hurried knock on the door: "Boss, sister-in-law, are you home?"

Yu Wanqing and his wife both recognized that this was Feng Yongxin's voice.

"He came here at this time, probably because there is news from Sichuan Province." After Yu Wanqing finished speaking, she hurried to open the door.

Huo Lanci explained to everyone: "We suspect Sheng Mei is in Sichuan Province, and have been asking people to find out the news."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing'an clenched his hands tightly together and clenched his teeth, with endless anticipation in his heart.

After Feng Yongxin came in, he saw a stranger in the room and for a moment he didn't know whether he should say anything.

Huo Lanci said, "You can tell me whatever news you heard. There are no outsiders here."

Feng Yongxin nodded and said, "My friend in Sichuan Province called and told me some news about the comrade who was rescued."

"She said that the comrade had already gone to Beijing with her parents."

"Oh, it's the adoptive parents." Feng Yongxin quickly explained: "He tried to find out about the lesbian's adoptive parents, but it seems that he was silenced and couldn't find out anything. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they came to Beijing."

"Boss, sister-in-law, I guess the identity of that lesbian's adoptive parents must be very high, and the information is kept confidential."

At this point, he glanced at Mr. Huo cautiously and said, "General Huo, it might be faster if you go check it out."

Old Huo glanced at Feng Yongxin and said, "Not bad for a young man."

Everyone will arrange their own work.

Feng Yongxin was startled by this look and quickly explained: "I, I just thought that you know a lot of people, so you might know such a person."

"Old General, did I say something wrong?"

"I didn't say anything wrong." Seeing that he had frightened the child like this, Mr. Huo also realized that something was wrong and said slowly, "You did a good job. When you get the news, tell your boss and sister-in-law as soon as possible."

Feng Yongxin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I know that the boss and sister-in-law are worried about Comrade Lu Shengmei."

"Okay, you go back first, we will ask someone to investigate." Yu Wanqing smiled and asked Feng Yongxin to go back first. If he stayed any longer, he might really be scared by his grandfather.

After hearing this, Feng Yongxin turned around and ran away, saying as he ran: "Old General, Boss, Sister-in-law, I'm going back first."

Huo Lanci looked at his grandfather and said, "Next time you are scared by someone who scares me like this, you will be so scared that you won't be able to find anyone to do the work."

"If you don't even have this much courage, how can you go on a mission to kill the enemy?" Mr. Huo muttered in a low voice: "Okay, I get it."

"Since we already have clues, let's investigate quickly to see who has returned from Sichuan Province in the past year or recently."
