After returning to the Huo family, Mo Zhu immediately saw Fang Ran huddled in a corner, looking pitiful.

She pretended not to see this person and walked straight past the girl into the house. Fang Ran naturally noticed the commotion and quickened her steps. She rushed in front of Huo Xuan before he could enter.

A sweet voice sounded, “Young Master Huo, why are you and sister only back now? I’ve been waiting at the door for a long time, my legs are numb from standing there…”

Seeing the scene in front of them, even Xu Huan, who was following behind Huo Xuan, couldn’t help but ask.

“Why do you not want to go home when you have one? Why do you have to insist on standing at the door of someone else’s house like a goalkeeper!”

Fang Ran’s face instantly flushed red from Xu Huan’s teasing. She stammered, “I’m just concerned about my sister and Young Master Huo. I’ve been waiting here since I left the competition hall…”

“Alright, the matter has already been resolved. Ms. Fang, if you have nothing else, you can go home directly. You can come in if you want to stay.”

Huo Xuan rubbed his glabella, a hint of impatience appearing on his face.

“Okay, then I won’t disturb Brother Huo and sister-in-law any longer. Give me a call if you have anything on. I’ll get going first…” After saying this, Xu Huan turned around and drove the car that was parked in Huo Mansion. He disappeared in a flash.

Mo Zhu, who had rushed upstairs, did not idle. After returning to her room, she turned on her phone and quickly dialed a number that wasn’t saved on her phone.

It didn’t ring for long before the other party picked up.

A mature male voice came from the other end of the phone. “Hello, is that K?”

“It’s me. I received your message in the car just now but it was not convenient for me to talk then. Is the news accurate this time?”

Mo Zhu cleared her throat. Her tone sounded anxious, and her fair wrist that was holding the phone trembled slightly.

The person who was talking to Mo Zhu was Cheng Yi of the Pavilion of Love. The people of the Pavilion of Love were in every part of the entire world. As long as there were living people, the Pavilion of Love would definitely have informants. This was also the reason why Mo Zhu chose the Pavilion of Love among the many forces who wanted to rope her in.

“There’s a high chance that it’s true. We’ve been investigating that incident for a long time now, and we suddenly received the news today. Although the news is true, I feel that there hasn’t been any news for so many years and we’ve suddenly gotten such a conclusive lead now, there might be a trap!”

Mo Zhu calmed down and thought about it after hearing Cheng Yi’s words.

The matter that she had been investigating for so many years suddenly had some progress. No matter who it was, it looked like a scheme that had been planned for a long time, waiting for the fish to take the bait. However, Mo Zhu could not wait and she could not afford to lose it. This matter concerned Feng Yu. Even if it meant climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of flames that would take her life, she had to go and investigate!

“Tell me everything that happened in detail. Since there’s news from Love Pavilion, I’ll investigate this matter myself. Please help me keep a lookout for other useful information!”

At this moment, a hint of tears faintly suffused Mo Zhu’s cold eyes. She didn’t know if she was able to bear the outcome if the truth was what she had imagined.

“We received the news this afternoon. The Huo family from Beijing was also involved in that incident back then, and they had contributed the most. We spent an entire afternoon and successfully tracked the domain names that had been used by the Huo Family that they had not had time to eliminate.”

“The Huo family from Beijing?” Wasn’t that Huo Xuan’s people?

Mo Zhu’s heart sank. Could it be that Huo Xuan had also participated in that incident back then? There weren’t many people in the entire Huo family who could mobilize so many people to complete that incident. If Huo Xuan was the one behind it, then everything could be traced!

“What’s the relationship between the Huo family of Beijing and the Huo family of Cloud City?” Mo Zhu frowned slightly and placed a hand on the corner of the cabinet. She really didn’t dare to think about it. If that matter was really done by Huo Xuan…

“According to the investigation of the Pavilion of Love, the Huo family has two big families. One is Elder Huo’s eldest son, Huo Tao, and the other is his second son, Huo Peng…”

“The Huo family in Beijing is currently headed by Huo Peng, and the Huo family in Cloud City can be considered as one of the branches of the Huo family in Beijing. Currently, Huo Tao’s son, Huo Xuan, is staying there. They claimed that the old doctor is in the midst of recuperation…”

“However, outsiders aren’t sure if this illness is real. At present, the information that the Pavilion of Love has gathered is only this much, and it would be difficult to find out more details without entering the Huo’s mansion.

In Cheng Yi’s intermittent descriptions, Mo Zhu had a basic understanding of the structure of the Huo family. There was a limit to what the Pavilion of Love could do. She could only rely on herself for the rest.

Pursing her lips, Mo Zhu replied, “Since we can trace the domain name to the Huo family, then no matter what role the Huo family played in that incident years ago, I have to find out the truth. I’ll personally visit the Huo family mansion. Please help me keep a lookout for the rest of the pieces of the news.”

The man on the other end of the phone agreed readily. Just as he was about to hang up, he seemed to have recalled something and quickly continued, “There’s one more thing. There have been quite a number of orders related to Yun Jing recently. The prices aren’t low. Did he run into any trouble?”

Mo Zhu lowered her head slightly and recalled Yun Jing’s instructions previously, “Reject all orders related to him. If there are any particularly serious cases, contact me directly!”
