His arms were not strong enough and the tray of food trembled unsteadily. Huo Yunting quickly took the tray from him son.
“I’ll finish them later. Thank you son, now go rest downstairs.”
“No no no, I want to see you finish them!”
“… Alright.”
Lu Zhaoyang was relieved to hear his reply. She tip-toed her way downstairs and missed the gentle look that her husband threw her way.
“Ma’am.”
Lu Zhaoyang had just sat down when Huo Li arrived. He greeted her and then asked quietly, “How’s Brother Ting?”
She nodded, and then shook her head with a heavy heart. “He’s not doing so well. I don’t know what he is busy with these days, he even spends the night in the study. I’ve woken up a few times late at night to find him still awake.”
Huo Li breathed a long exhale and said, “Don’t you worry too much, he might just need some time.”
“I hope so.”
“Brother Ting asked me to see him, I’ll be going upstairs now.”
“Alright.”
Huo Li reached the study and knocked before opening the door. Little Huo Xu was carrying a tray with empty bowls and walking toward him. He smiled at the boy and patted his head. “The boy’s grown older.”
“I have to!”
Huo Xu puffed up his chest and showed the empty bowls to Huo Li. “Daddy finished everything.”
“That’s great!”
The boy smiled proudly at his achievement and walked outside as he muttered, “Daddy really ate a lot, I wonder if he will become what Meimei calls a ‘fathead’…”
Meimei was a classmate that he met in his new school.
“…”
After a brief silence, Huo Li burst out laughing. Even Huo Yunting smiled briefly as he continued reading some documents, bringing some color to his face.
“What a little rascal!”
Huo Li shook his head helplessly and watched the boy go downstairs before heading back into the study and closing the door behind him.
“Brother Ting, these are the information you asked for.”
Huo Yunting took the documents from him and glanced through one of them. The papers contained everything they could find on Xiang Yuan Corp.
Huo Li knew that Brother Ting was deeply infuriated. He was making preparations for his move against Xiang Jinxi.
As his special assistant and loyal brother, Huo Li knew Huo Yunting well enough to know that the man would make Xiang Jinxi pay dearly for his actions.
“Bro Ting,” Huo Li said abruptly, “I have something here that might be helpful.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s this.”
Huo Li took out a black cell phone from his pocket and placed it gently on the study table.
“This is Qin An’s phone, I picked it up that day because I thought it might have something useful in it. Yesterday, I was browsing through the phone and found that it was mostly wiped clean. There was, however, a voice recording that I manage to recover. I hacked the password for the recording — it’s 1129.”
Huo Yunting unlocked the phone and found a voice recording in one of the folders.
It was titled “Xue Yuming”.
His eyes narrowed curiously as he tapped on the icon.
After a few seconds of static, a man’s voice was heard.
It was a steady but very persuasive voice.
“Madam Xue, you have sinned greatly and even got your own daughter in trouble. If you still have any good or motherly love in you, you should think about how to protect her while you can, or her life will definitely spiral into misery.”
