Chapter 75: Finding the Answer

After a pause, as if she had made up her mind, Mo Zhu quickly clicked on the mouse twice. Then, the document was opened and a case report appeared in front of her.

Before Mo Zhu could focus and see what was recorded inside, the sound of a door opening came from behind her.

“Why isn’t Xiao Zhu doing the questions properly?”

Without even turning her head, Mo Zhu knew who it was. Her back instantly tensed up. As she listened to the man’s slow footsteps, she turned her head and looked coldly at Huo Xuan.

“What’s your relationship with Feng Yu?” Mo Zhu asked Huo Xuan. There was redness between her brows, and she was so agitated that her hands were clenched into fists as she panted, as if she was going to kill someone in the next second.

At this moment, Huo Xuan had already walked in front of Mo Zhu. Through the girl’s small body, he saw that the top-secret document related to Feng Yu had been accessed on the screen. He frowned and looked at Mo Zhu. “What’s your relationship with Feng Yu?”

Compared to Huo Xuan and Feng Yu’s relationship, the man was more curious about how Mo Zhu met him. One of them was the young master of the Beijing Feng family, and the other was an ordinary student from Qingyuan Village. How did these two people get to know each other? Furthermore, from the girl’s tone, it seemed like the two of them had a close relationship.

“Did you send someone to capture Feng Yu? Where is he now? You better tell the truth and don’t force me to use my fists!” Mo Zhu no longer had the patience to continue arguing with Huo Xuan. She stood up abruptly and grabbed the man’s collar.

Seeing how irritable Mo Zhu was, Huo Xuan quickly explained, “Xiao Zhu, calm down and listen to me properly. I didn’t kidnap Feng Yu. A few years ago, he was schemed against by others and I saved him. However, his health isn’t good now. No matter what your relationship with him is, I’ll definitely bring you to see him when the time comes!”

After hearing Huo Xuan’s explanation, Mo Zhu couldn’t make up her mind. She didn’t know whether she should believe the man’s words or not.

After calming down a little, Mo Zhu loosened her grip on Huo Xuan’s collar and questioned him angrily, “Who ambushed him? How many enemies does he have? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small!”

Staring at the girl’s eyes that were about to spew fire, Huo Xuan placed his finger on the table and gently tapped it. “To be exact, this matter is a little strange. I’m still investigating the mastermind, but I have news from my people that this matter with Feng Yu has something to do with my second uncle…”

Mo Zhu glanced at the man coldly. “Huo Peng?”

“Yes. Back then, when Feng Yu was seriously injured and saved by me, he only left behind one sentence, which was to tell me to be careful of my second uncle. At that time, the situation was urgent, and I noticed that he probably had a lot to explain, but his injuries were too severe. After saying that, he fell unconscious, and he has been unconscious till now…”

When Huo Xuan said this, he looked very gloomy and his tone was also a little sorrowful. Mo Zhu couldn’t help but ask, “So what’s your relationship with Feng Yu?”

“Xiao Zhu, did you know that Feng Yu is the illegitimate son of the Feng family in Beijing?” After a pause and seeing no reaction from Mo Zhu, Huo Xuan continued, “His mother is an illegitimate daughter raised by the Huo family overseas and she is my youngest aunt.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu’s eyes lit up. She looked at Huo Xuan in disbelief and asked, “You’re his cousin?”

“You could say that. Feng Yu had always been raised overseas by his aunt. It wasn’t until he was 13 years old that the old madam from the Feng family brought him back to the old mansion. Not many people know about the fact that his mother is a member of the Huo family.”
