After Huo Jingxi left with Lu Baofei, Qin Fengying came to Huo Xiao and bowed to him solemnly!
"Brother Huo, your kindness to the Lu family is immeasurable, and our Lu family will never forget it!"
Du Guanglong and Butler Hua stood on either side of Lu Yi, watching her warily, afraid that she might suddenly "make a move" against Lu Yi again.
Huo Xiao pushed the wheelchair forward, his expression becoming complicated.
“Madam Lu, you don’t need to be like this. Yi’er is a good child. Like Fan Shenglun and Gu Yan, I just can’t bear to see him suffer!”
"Long'er, Yi'er has been standing for too long. Take him to the rehabilitation room to rest!"
Huo Xiao could guess what Qin Fengying was going to say!
Taking advantage of Lu Yi's weakness, should we bring him back to the Lu family?
Hmph, not a chance!
Qin Fengying tried to stop him, but Du Guanglong blocked her with his strong arm.
"Yi'er, can you listen to what your mother has to say?"
"Mom came all this way not to upset you, but because I was worried about you and wanted to take you back to the Lu family to make it up to you!"
Unable to overcome Du Guanglong's brute force, Qin Fengying had no choice but to resort to her old trick and howl at the top of her lungs.
"Madam Lu!"
Lu Yi felt numbness in his side and was indeed finding it difficult to stand.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiao noticed his discomfort first.
Seeing Qin Fengying's shamelessness, Lu Yi said in a deep voice, "This is not the Lu family home. If you want to make a scene, go back to your own home!"
"Please, Mrs. Lu, try to recall carefully. Your husband signed a disassociation agreement a year ago. If you've forgotten, I can find it and show it to you."
At this moment, Lu Yi was still unsure whether the Lu family had become desperate or whether Qin Fengying had listened to someone else's advice.
His words and actions are becoming increasingly outrageous!
Before, she at least knew how to be mindful of the occasion, but since her coming-of-age ceremony, she seems to have become completely unrestrained!
Du Guanglong helped Lu Yi walk towards the door.
Butler Hua pushed Huo Xiao's wheelchair back a few steps.
"Yi'er, you can't do this to your mother!"
"If you don't come back with your mother today, do you know what people will think of the Lu family?"
"They...they actually said that the Lu family is the ones who harmed you. Can you bear to watch Lu Yi fall into the vortex of public opinion?"
“Lu Yi, your surname is Lu, not Fan, not Gu, and certainly not Huo. Why do you hurt your mother like this…”
Looking at Lu Yi's frail and weak figure, Qin Fengying couldn't help but vent her dissatisfaction in a hurried tone.
She cried hysterically, as if she were the one who had been wronged, not Lu Yi.
"So, Madam Lu, you did know that Lu Yi-si (Lu is a woman of different surnames) is Lu?"
"Back when he was in your Lu family, he lived in a place worse than a doghouse, ate worse than a stray cat, rode a bicycle everywhere, and had to pay for his own tuition..."
"What are you doing, you gentle, virtuous mother who loves your son so much?"
Du Guanglong couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to confront him angrily.
His fists clenched at his sides; if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, given his bad temper, he would have already attacked her.
I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen someone who tears off their own skin and then praises their own skin for being delicate!
"What do you know? We...we were testing Yi'er. If he passes the test, the Lu family will naturally not mistreat him!"
Qin Fengying was extremely anxious after her vital point was hit.
He stood there, frozen, wringing his hands, and made up a reason.
Yes, that's what Lu Zhengming meant.
Because Han'er said that this brother was dishonest and that the way he looked at the sisters was strange, they had no choice but to do this!
"Madam Lu, if you haven't finished speaking, why don't you condescend to sit in my study?"
"Let's eat when Jingxi and the others come back!"
Huo Xiao interrupted the pointless argument and looked at Lu Yi with concern.
"Long'er, take Lu Yi downstairs and find a doctor to examine him. If he continues to be so weak, who knows how much suffering this child will endure!"
Butler Hua's face turned black with anger.
But he really had no right to speak here.
Otherwise, his criticisms would be even harsher than Du Guanglong's.
He glanced at Qin Fengying with disgust, then gestured to the servants behind him to help Huo Xiao push his wheelchair. He then went to the side and made a phone call.
"Dr. Min, please come over as soon as possible... Yes, please come as soon as possible!"
...
Outside the hospital ward, the police officer on duty immediately stood up and nodded to Huo Jingxi as soon as he saw him.
“Young Master Huo, the person has regained some consciousness, but the doctor advised that the conversation should not be too long, and also…”
He glanced suspiciously at Lu Baofei behind Huo Jingxi, and stammered.
"And what?"
Huo Jingxi slightly raised his eyelids.
The officer frowned in embarrassment and lowered his voice considerably.
"And now only one person is allowed in at a time, otherwise it could lead to an infection and endanger the patient!"
“Young Master Huo, as you know, this person is the only survivor of this case and is crucial to solving it.”
Even if Consort Lu is tactless, she would never make excessive demands.
In what capacity did she speak?
Even if this person is equally important to her, as it relates to her future and her life!
"Young Master Huo, you can go in now. I'll wait outside."
She took a deep breath, trying to appear calm.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Miss Lu."
Huo Jingxi pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that she should sit down and wait, and then walked in with a cold face.
The person in the hospital bed was covered in tubes.
He was wrapped up from head to toe like a mummy; if it weren't for the mechanical hum of the machine above his bed, he would have been indistinguishable from a dead man.
Huo Jingxi took out a pre-prepared recording from his pocket and turned up the volume.
Standing in front of the hospital bed, she sent a message to Lu Yi.
"He's still not awake, don't get your hopes up too high!"
He also didn't want to believe that the Lu family was the mastermind behind it all.
Judging from the reactions of Lu Baofei and Qin Fengying, it would be even stranger if it weren't the Lu family.
He was merely pretending to be an "insider" to trick Lu Baofei, and this person quickly came to ask for help.
Is there any coincidence more striking than this?
After the recording finished playing, Huo Jingxi put the recorder away and spat.
"You idiot, didn't you think about the consequences of revealing your identity?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't confess. Your phone is already in the hands of the police. Once it's deciphered, whether you confess or not is irrelevant!"
"If you remember anything, remember to contact me anytime. Take care of yourself!"
Huo Jingxi patted the man's cheek hard and opened the door to the ward.
Lu Baofei happened to be standing on the side where the door was open. After seeing the person on the hospital bed, she immediately clutched her chest and started gagging.
She felt disgusted.
An inexplicable disgust rose from the soles of my feet and shot straight to the back of my head.
It felt as if something was about to burst out of my body.
"Miss Lu, what's wrong?"
Huo Jingxi stepped forward and offered a helping hand, his questioning gaze sweeping over her.
"I...I'm fine!"
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom. You can go back to the car first!"
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Baofei ran as if fleeing towards the end of the corridor...
