Huo run looked like a little cat, her makeup was a mess from her tears.
Her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and her clothes were dirty. She had lost her usual elegance.
Lu Zhaoyangâs heart ached and she held her hand.
After she had calmed down a little, she tried to calm down and asked,âgo on.â
âMommy ...â Huo run sobbed,âmo ning...Doesnât like me at all. Sheâs been toying with me all this time!â
âWhat?â
Lu Zhaoyang stood up in shock.âWhy would you say that?â
Huo run told him what had happened on campus.
She covered her face with her hands as she thought about mo ningâs ruthlessness and her classmates âmockery and sympathy. Tears began to stream down her face.
âMommy, Iâve become the joke of the school. And Mo ning, I really do like her! Why did she do that to me?â
ââ¦â¦â
Lu Zhaoyang struggled to digest the news.
She had an innate fondness for mo ning. Otherwise, with her personality, she would not have thought of entrusting her daughter to mo ning after only meeting her a few times.
Her impression of mo ning was that she was elegant, modest, and gentle. She was a rare gentleman.
Why would he do something like playing with other peopleâs feelings?
But this was the truth.
âRan ran.â
Lu Zhaoyangâs face was filled with anger. She hugged the sobbing Huo run and patted her back.
âDonât cry. Maybe thereâs a misunderstanding.â
Even now, she still did not believe that mo ning was a scumbag.
Huo run leaned into her arms and shook her head in pain.
She really, really liked mo ning!
Lu Zhaoyang comforted Huo run gently.
Huo Yunting leaned lazily against the armrest with his arms crossed. He looked at his crying adopted daughter, his eyes emotionless.
However, when he saw Lu Zhaoyangâs anxious and loving expression, he frowned. His face darkened, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Mo ning?
The child who had the exact same eyes as him?
Huo Yuntingâs eyes flickered.
If he remembered correctly, mo ning was at the Huo family home when he was discussing the schedule with Huo Li.
Come to think of it, if mo ning was not interested in Huo run, why did she have to act like she really did?
Even if she really treated Huo run as a drug to pass the time, it was undeniable that mo ning was using Huo ran.
Once suspicion was born, it could not be erased until the end.
Huo Yunting narrowed his eyes and went upstairs.
He gave Huo Li a call and asked,âany news from your side?â
âThat force came from Eastern Europe and seemed to be dealing with another organization. Weâve already found their base and destroyed it. We caught a few prisoners, but they committed suicide on the way.â
Huo Liâs listless voice was heard,âbrother ting, I think this lead is going to be cut off.â
âIâm fine. â Huo Yuntingâs eyes were deep.âI want you to investigate someone now.â
âWho is it?â
âMo ning, Huo runâs classmate.â
Huo Yuntingâs eyes glowed dangerously, his well-defined side profile looked extremely cold under the dim light.
âYou donât have to be too detailed. You just need to find out if mo ning has an alibi on the day Lu Zhaoyang died. Let me know immediately if you have any news.â
