The Huo siblings never expected to run into an acquaintance while just strolling around. This was the second time Huo Jinning had seen Ye Lan. If it weren't for this chance encounter, she probably would have forgotten about her long ago.
Just then, Xiao Liu suddenly emitted a notification sound: [Ding, there's some gossip.]
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning immediately perked up and began to eat melons with great interest.
"Nan Chu, Ning Ning, what a coincidence!" Ye Lan greeted them with a smile and a soft voice.
[Pshaw, what coincidence? They clearly followed us here on purpose.]
[It seems like you run into these annoying guys no matter where you go.]
That Qian Chengfeng actually dared to send people to my doorstep to spy on my family.
When I get back, I'm going to make sure those people are all locked up in jail!
In response to Ye Lan's enthusiastic greeting, Huo Nanchu simply replied with a faint "Mm".
It was purely out of basic politeness.
As for Huo Jinning, she simply chose to ignore it and continued to focus on watching the drama unfold.
I'm so angry!
It seems their previous tactic failed, so they've switched to a new one.
[And this time it's a major surprise!]
Ye Lan's husband was brought back from abroad, but she wanted a divorce. He disagreed and harassed her. During their argument, she accidentally pushed him, causing him to hit his head on the coffee table.
[She just watched helplessly, without offering any assistance.]
I have to say, this woman is ruthless.
What's even more despicable is that she conspired with Qian Chengfeng to try and make my older brother take the blame.
[Her husband's body is currently in the house Qian Chengfeng gave her to live in.]
[She's incredibly bold; she killed someone and still has such a good attitude.]
[That's terrifying.]
[She just wanted to invite my older brother to her house for a get-together today, and then she framed him.]
“Nan Chu, I’ve been back for a while now, but I haven’t had a chance to treat everyone to a meal. How about tonight? I’ll host, and I’d like to invite Cheng Feng, Hao Ran, Zi Heng, Zi Yi, and Lan Lan to join us.” Ye Lan looked at Huo Nan Chu with sincere eyes, expressing her earnestness.
[These people are all there to testify for her; my older brother will be in a difficult position later.]
[If I were my older brother, I would definitely agree without hesitation, then bring the police to the banquet and see how she handles it.]
I want to join in the fun too.
[How should I put it? The people she chose are all people she grew up with. It doesn't seem right for me to go.]
[But if I don't go, won't my older brother end up in jail?]
Although Huo Nanchu appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. He could hardly imagine how the innocent, lovely, and carefree little girl had become like this.
If it weren't for Ningning, I probably would have fallen into their carefully laid trap.
I never imagined that being drunk and not going to the company last night would actually save me from a disaster!
If I were to encounter Ye Lan alone, considering that we have known each other for many years and there are other people present, I would definitely agree to meet with her, right?
It was absolutely impossible to have imagined that she would commit murder and frame someone.
This woman is so ruthless! Years of friendship are like trash to her; she can just throw them away like that.
"Okay, I'll send you the address in a bit. Let's set it for 4:30."
Seeing that Huo Nanchu had agreed, Ye Lan finally felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the air conditioning in the room was set to the lowest temperature and several measures were taken to delay blood clotting, it's always better to do it sooner rather than later.
Only an hour has passed since then, so let's set the meeting time for two hours later. At that time, it will only be three hours since the incident, and we should be able to cover it up successfully.
With so many witnesses, he'd have no chance of escaping.
By then, with both witnesses and physical evidence, even a powerful family like the Huo family would probably be helpless.
Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you hadn't treated me coldly because my family had fallen on hard times, how could I have been forced to resort to such methods?
Today, I'm going to let you experience firsthand what it feels like to be looked down upon!
Each of the three harbored their own secret intentions and secretly plotted their next move.
[You see, she doesn't even dare to send the specific time to my older brother via text message.]
[It was just a verbal statement. When the incident occurred, she vehemently denied it, and we were helpless, since my so-called witness testimony was not valid.]
[Hehe, you're just unlucky to have run into me.]
"Okay, nothing else, I'll be going now."
Huo Nanchu didn't want to see Ye Lan's disgusting face anymore.
"Okay, see you later," Ye Lan said warmly, still smiling.
[Hmph, what a smug look on his face.]
[I'll let you be smug for a while.]
I will protect my older brother.
Upon hearing this, Huo Nanchu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, making him feel incredibly comforted and happy.
Then, the three of them went their separate ways.
Just then, Huo Jinning suddenly looked at Huo Nanchu pitifully, blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked, "Big brother, can you take me with you to your gathering later?"
Seeing his sister's eagerness, Huo Nan nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, of course! It's more fun with more people."
He thought to himself that he could protect his sister and save her from worrying about him, so it wouldn't hurt to take her with him.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning immediately beamed with joy and said to Huo Nanchu with delight, "Thank you, big brother! You're so kind!"
Facing his adorable younger sister, Huo Nanchu smiled indulgently and gently stroked her hair, expressing his comfort and affection.
[I'll deliberately dawdle a bit, trying to delay things as much as possible, so I can arrive at our destination with everyone else.]
[It's a pity I'll have to miss out on this sumptuous dinner tonight!]
[Why! ]
Hearing this, Huo Nanchu couldn't help but chuckle.
He thought to himself: This little sister of mine only cares about food.
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?"
Huo Jinning was startled by the laughter.
"It's nothing," Huo Nanchu replied with a slight smile.
"Oh, this is really inexplicable." Huo Jinning muttered, continuing to ponder the matter she hadn't finished thinking about earlier.
[A miniature camera would also work.]
This makes things much safer.
Yes, that's it.
[This Ye Lan really brought this on herself; otherwise, there would have been no way to deal with her.]
[Now she's really gotten herself into trouble.]
[It's just a pity about her husband.]
[I returned to China to tell Ye Lan that she has a share in my will.]
[We could also live together in China instead of going abroad.]
[But before he could speak, Ye Lan pushed him down, causing him to hit his head. He didn't die immediately, but Ye Lan didn't help him and watched him bleed to death.]
