Jin Xuyuan frowned when he heard the line get cut off. Did Huo Xiang really have an extraordinary background?
How powerful was he?
Did Xiang Nan know something?
Jin Xuyuan held his phone as he contemplated. He could not suppress his curiosity and called Xiang Nan again. However, he received a message saying Xiang Nan’s phone was switched off. He hung up feeling annoyed.
Jin Xuyuan thought for a moment before he stepped out of the office and headed towards Xiang Nan’s place. When he went past Tong Yu’s office, the door was partially closed and his voice could be heard talking over the phone.
Jin Xuyuan automatically halted in his steps when he heard Tong Yu talking about a confession.
Huo Xiang stood with his back against the door in front of the French windows and spoke on the phone in his office. “… Okay, Tingrui. I understand. I will post updates about Huo Xiang’s physical condition online. Don’t worry. This will blow over in no time.”
Tong Yu quickly hung up the phone. He was particularly surprised when he heard that Xiang Nan’s little brother was going to confess his crimes in front of the police.
After all, Xiang Nan kept insisting vehemently that it wasn’t Xiang Yang in the video.
He turned around and looked up only to notice that the door was not tightly closed and someone had just walked past.
Tong Yu narrowed his eyes quizzically before he veered his eyes without taking it to heart.
He picked up the landline on the table and called the marketing department.
**
Shortly after Xiang Nan posted the announcement online, Tong Yu got the marketing department to log into Huo Xiang’s main social media account to inform the public that Huo Xiang had already recovered.
Since Huo Yao felt bored staying at the hospital, she browsed through social media. She had also seen Xiang Nan’s announcement, but did not care about him leaving the entertainment industry.
However, some good did come out of it since he won’t be around to cause trouble for the Little Princess anymore.
Min Yu sent her a text message asking if she wanted to have dinner. He happened to be near the hospital.
Huo Yao raised her brow when she saw the message and agreed to have dinner with him. Huo Xiang was busy playing video games.
She got off the bed and said as she took her coat and put it on. “Brother Xiang, I am going downstairs for a walk.”
Huo Xiang was so engrossed in his game that it took him a while to react and acknowledge Huo Yao. When he finally looked up, she had already left.
Huo Xiang was flabbergasted. “…”
Huo Xiang scratched his head before he adjusted his posture and started gaming again.
Before long, someone knocked on the hospital ward door. He thought it was the nurse coming in to clean up the room. He told the staff to enter before he lowered his head and continued playing.
Huo Xiang’s hands suddenly halted when he saw a pair of shiny black leather shoes standing by the bed and raised his head in shock. “U-Uncle Changfeng… what brings you here?”
Even his voice sounded uneasy.
Other than his eldest uncle, he was most afraid of Huo Changfeng.
Huo Changfeng raised his brow. He placed a fruit basket on the table before he pulled a chair over and sat down. “Why? Am I not welcome?”
Huo Xiang hurriedly placed his phone under his pillow and straightened his body. He smiled and said, “That’s not true. I am more than happy that you visited.”
Huo Changfeng did not attempt to expose how Huo Xiang genuinely felt about him.
He glanced at the empty bed beside Huo Xiang’s and asked. “Why are you here alone? Where is your little sister?”
“She went downstairs for a walk. Didn’t you bump into her?” replied Huo Xiang candidly.
Huo Changfeng was caught by surprise. He shook his head and said, “I might have missed her when I took the lift.”
