Chapter 285: Show the Face
Wen Wan thought about it, and suddenly rolled her eyes and said: "No, I have to investigate clearly, where did Lu Siyu go, I don't worry if I don't investigate this clearly." β
In fact, she is planning to find an opportunity to be a demon from it!
Wen Wan's investigation direction was completely different from Huo Chengze's, so she quickly found out that this matter was related to Old Man Huo.
Lu Siyu's disappearance this time was obviously not done by her and Qiao Sisi, so there must be someone else who doesn't like Lu Siyu, and the woman's sixth sense told her to pay attention to Old Man Huo, and sure enough......
Wen Wan was obviously very excited, and said to Qiao Sisi: "I'll go to Old Man Huo tomorrow to talk to see if I can know where Lu Siyu is." Nine times out of ten, Lu Siyu was taken away by him. β
"Are you going to set Old Man Huo's words?" Qiao Sisi obviously didn't believe Wen Wan, what kind of character was Old Man Huo, how could he let Wen Wan talk?
She looked at her with displeasure, "Don't you believe me?"
Qiao Sisi wanted to nod yes, but given that Wen Wan was her current dog-headed military advisor, if she made Wen Wan angry, would Wen Wan not help her?
Thinking of this, Qiao Sisi hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I just want to remind you to pay attention to safety." β
This far-fetched explanation made Wen Wan pout, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes: Qiao Sisi, do you think I'm as stupid as you?
Early the next morning, Wen Wan cleaned herself up, gritted her teeth, and used the last cash in her bag to buy some gifts and take them to Huo's house.
Before the next person came to open the door, she was still in pain - when she went back, she must find Qiao Sisi to reimburse herself, after all, this is for her!
Wen Wan met Old Man Huo very smoothly, and the two chatted as usual.
Those boring topics all the time, it's a waste of time, and Wen Wan can't sit still.
After ten seconds of silence, she suddenly said, "I don't know how Brother Aze and Miss Lu are now, speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a long time." β
Old Man Huo secretly raised his eyebrows, "Oh, haven't you always liked Aze and hated Lu Siyu, why did you suddenly ask about them?"
"Actually, old man, I heard something...... Wen Wan pretended to be mysterious last night, and lowered her voice by an octave, "I heard others say that Lu Siyu seems to be missing, as if he was captured by someone, Brother Aze is looking for it everywhere." I don't know, old man, do you know about this?"
"Which other person did you listen to?" Old Man Huo's eyes flashed with a fine light, and his tone became a little heavier.
Wen Wan was cold and didn't expect him to get to the bottom of it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, this other person was originally nonsense.
What else is there?
She slurred, "I, a friend of mine ......"
Old Man Huo took all her demeanor into his eyes, a trace of disgust flashed in his heart, and his voice was a little cold and hard, "Wen Wan, this is not your business." β
Wen Wan rarely heard Old Man Huo call her with his surname, usually either calling her Wanwan or Wen Yatou, and the meaning of doting and closeness is very obvious.
But now, this kind of pampering is gone, and the word "gentle" has pulled her heart to the bottom.
The old man is so perverse!
"Sorry, sorry, I trespassed. Wen Wan lowered her head and apologized, pinching her thighs hard, her eyes a little red.
If she had behaved like this in the past, Old Man Huo would have forgiven her a long time ago, but today Old Man Huo was unmoved, and still sat there and said coldly: "It's good to know that you have trespassed, it will not be your business in the future, you better take care of it." β
This gentleness actually wanted to get words out of his mouth, and she was so eager that she didn't even have this bit of patience, and she was easily recognized by him.
The means are too clever.
Old man Huo felt that it was necessary to give her a little face, no matter how bad Lu Siyu was, he was also the person Huo Chengze liked, and Huo Chengze was his own grandson, to put it bluntly, this was an internal matter of their Huo family, where was it the turn of an outsider to inquire? !
Wen Wan forcibly squeezed out a smile, trying to restore herself to the same as before, but all failed, in the face of Old Man Huo's disappointment, she completely lost her usual calmness and laughter, and was as timid as a country girl who had never seen the world.
"Alright, I don't have anything you want to know here, just get out if you're okay. Old Man Huo pinched his eyebrows and waved his hand a little tiredly.
Wen Wan was blushed by his straightforward words, and she couldn't sit or walk for a while.
The housekeeper on the side took advantage of the effort to add water, and said respectfully to Wen Wan: "Miss Wen, our old man has not been in good health recently, and the doctor said that he should recuperate and not let outsiders disturb him too much, so please go back first." β
Old Man Huo picked up the teacup, and the meaning of sending off the guests was very obvious.
No matter how thick Wen Wan's face was, she was embarrassed to continue to sit here, she stood up and said to Old Man Huo crampedly: "Then I'll come to see you next time, take care of your body, I'll go first." β
After speaking, she ran out of the Huo family's old mansion for the first time.
Just when Huo Chengze had been checking for several days without results, he suddenly felt that he had missed something.
"Ye Zhun, do you think I missed something? According to our intelligence network, it is impossible that we have not found any clues for so long. β
Ye Zhun's face was a little haggard, he had been working overtime day and night these days, coupled with worrying about Lu Mingying, which made him uneasy.
"Second brother, if you can completely avoid our intelligence network, I can only think of two points at present. First, the other party is very strong, so powerful that it is much more powerful than Huo's, so that it cannot be found. Second, they know everything about our intelligence network. What do you think?"
"If you know it?" Huo Chengze said to himself, ...... fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he remembered the information that he had been ignoring all alongβgrandpa!
He invoked the power of the Huo family to check the people of the Huo family, how could he find out?!
"Ye Zhun, I know, it's grandpa! It must be him!" Huo Chengze walked around the room, the furrow between his eyebrows deep enough to trap a fly.
"Old Man Huo?" Ye Zhun was a little incredulous, "Didn't he promise you not to interfere with you?"
In his heart, the old man is still very dignified and credible, but Huo Chengze's speculation broke his inherent impression of the old man.
Huo Chengze said tiredly: "I can't imagine anyone else here who is more powerful than the Huo family, and Siyu is even more unlikely to provoke those people." Eliminate the first possibility, then second, if you are in charge of the Huo family and kidnap me under my nose, apart from grandpa, who else in the Huo family can do this? So I dare to conclude that this time the thing was definitely done by grandpa, don't be deceived by his appearance, he said that there are many times when he regrets it, not to mention this one. β
Ye Zhun: "......"
So now they are going to rob the old man of people?
What if he's a little weak?
