Lu Yi and his two companions got out of the car, startling Butler Hua, who was getting up in the middle of the night.
"Young Master Yi? Second Young Master Gu?"
Upon recognizing the two, Butler Hua excitedly shouted into the courtyard, "Young Master Yi is back! Quickly go and tell President Huo and Second Young Master Huo..."
Ruan Jiaojiao had been caught in the rain and developed a high fever while in the car.
Prolonged sleep deprivation and poor diet have led to a significant decrease in her immunity.
Seeing the red blisters on the corners of her mouth, Butler Hua felt heartbroken and wiped away tears.
"It's good to see you back, Miss Jiaojiao. Mr. Huo talks about you every day!"
All the lights in the Huo family's house were turned on!
Inside and outside the courtyard, it was as bright as day.
The servants were as happy as if it were New Year's Day and came over to help.
Some held up umbrellas, others carried people, as if they wished they had three heads and six arms so the host could see their performance.
"Good brothers! I couldn't get through to you on the phone, it really scared me!"
As Ruan Jiaojiao was carried into the courtyard, Du Guanglong put his arm around one of them and patted their backs.
"It's good that you're back. I knew you would come back. Come on, let's take a hot shower and get some sleep!"
...
Gu Huainan carried Ruan Jiaojiao on his back the whole way, which exhausted him greatly.
After quickly showering and drying myself off, I collapsed onto the bed and started snoring.
Lu Yi was not sleepy at all.
His eyelids were drooping, but he was always on edge.
For some reason, he had a very strong premonition.
The time bomb someone planted in the Huo family is about to explode!
As for who will be hit first this time, he doesn't know yet.
"I heard from Butler Hua that they heard a car. Who brought you back?"
Du Guanglong wiped Lu Yi's hair, feeling very guilty.
Because he waited and waited but Lu Yi didn't come down the mountain, and he couldn't get through on the phone, he was worried about being discovered, so he sent his brothers who were waiting at the foot of the mountain back.
I had planned to wait until dawn before sending people out, but I didn't expect Lu Yi to return first.
"Big brother, I'm going to take a five-minute nap. Call second brother over; I have something important to give him!"
Huo Jingxi has been busy these past few days.
Lu Baofei was obsessed with work efficiency and would personally discuss almost every document with him.
She wasn't even comfortable with something that had been reviewed by a lawyer.
Huo Jingxi, who was never good at these word games, was constantly tied to the internet by Lu Baofei, and he looked quite haggard.
Last night, the merger agreement was finally finalized.
All that's left is for the representatives from both sides to sign today, completing the final procedures, and then this matter will be considered settled.
Du Guanglong felt sorry for this person, then he felt sorry for that person, caught in a dilemma.
Seeing Lu Yi lying on the sofa, fully clothed, she scratched her bald head, covered him with a thin blanket, and tiptoed downstairs.
Huo Jingxi slept soundly.
When he was shaken awake, he was still mumbling the terms of the cooperation.
"My goodness, wasn't this just edited? Why are you changing it again..."
Du Guanglong pinched his cheek. "Second brother, what are you saying? Third brother and Gu Huainan are back. Jiaojiao is fine, she just has a slight fever..."
"What!"
Huo Jingxi threw off the covers, got out of bed, stood on one leg, and wrapped his arms tightly around Du Guanglong's bald head.
"Hey second brother, can you stop being so fanatical? It's giving me the creeps!"
Du Guanglong took his hand off his head and looked around for his prosthetic leg.
"Yes, Gu Huainan was exhausted and fell asleep."
"The second son looks very tired, but he said he has something important to tell you, so I had to wake you up!"
Huo Jingxi stared at him for a moment.
"I also have some news to tell him."
As he spoke, he bent down, pulled out the prosthetic leg from under the bed, and quickly put it on.
Reaching the door, he casually grabbed a bathrobe with his fingers and strode downstairs.
"Hey, wait for me, it's still raining outside!"
...
The Lin Family Villa.
Lin Hongtao sat upright, his two blood-red eyes staring intently at Lin Yuan.
It was as if he wanted to turn all the anger he had ever felt into a sharp sword and stab several bloody holes in Lin Yuan's body!
Why was she arrested?
Lin Yuan sobbed a few times, pulled out a few tissues from the tissue box, and covered her face.
"I don't know either. After hearing about this, I contacted a lawyer immediately, but the lawyer can't see her now!"
She trembled all over and cried out in grievance.
But I felt happier than ever before!
Lin Hongtao, do you think you can protect her for the rest of your life?
joke!
This time, even if your arms are incredibly long, you won't be able to pull her out.
You treated me like that, I'm going to get my revenge tenfold!
She took a deep breath, and her sobs stopped abruptly. "Hong Tao, is she being framed by someone and suffering in silence?"
“I heard from Mengmeng that when they were in school, Xiaoya would often hide in a corner and make phone calls to someone.”
"When Mengmeng asked her, she wasn't sure either. Could it be... that she was tricked by a bad person?"
Lin Yuan stood up and walked back and forth in front of Lin Hongtao.
Lin Hongtao was dizzy from her spinning around. "Bad people? She's a female college student. Besides attending classes, she just goes back to her dorm. What bad people could she possibly encounter?"
His scrutinizing gaze fell on Lin Yuan's slender figure.
As if remembering something, his voice suddenly softened.
With her eyes lowered, she picked up her phone and scrolled through it.
"I remember you attended some charity banquet before and you seemed to get along quite well with a family member of Officer Wang. Did you ask her about it?"
Going through normal channels now is not an option.
The only way to find out is to ask someone to find out why Lin Xiaoya was arrested, so that we can figure out where to start to help her.
