Huo Xu's knock on the door made her nervous. She lowered her voice and said to the mysterious person on the phone, "I have something to do right now. Can I contact you later?"
"Star, don't play tricks. People who offend the 'Cang Lang' will not end well."
"I know, I will definitely give the organization a satisfactory answer."
The sound of Huo Xu ringing the doorbell gradually rang, and Yu Ruanruan was worried that if she didn't open the door, it would cause panic and suspicion in the man, so she hung up the phone without waiting for the person on the other side to agree.
She stretched out her hand to tangle her hair, pretending that she had just been woken up by the alarm and looked sleepy, and stepped forward to open the door.
"Soft?"
Huo Xu stood outside the door and frowned when he saw the girl looking confused, "Are you just awake?"
"Well, I drank too much last night and my head hurts a bit." Yu Ruanruan held her temples and wrinkled her face, "I didn't hear the doorbell just now."
"Are you feeling better now?"
Huo Xu was startled when he heard this, and reached out to rub her forehead, "I'm sorry, I should have stopped you last night."
"I can't keep my mouth shut, ah! By the way, my mother..."
Speaking of her mother, Yu Ruanruan was startled, and then she realized that the room she was in seemed different from the previous one, and she didn't see Cheng Zishan when she woke up in the morning.
Huo Xu couldn't help but laugh. Did this little confused man actually realize it now?
"You were drunk last night, lying on my back and muttering complaints against me. I was worried that Aunt Cheng would blame me, so I booked a new room for you."
"Ah? Then she didn't become suspicious?"
"She thought you went back to school."
When Huo Xu said this, he paused for a second, and then said, "Last night, do you still remember what you said?"
Yu Ruoruan was stunned, "I...what did I say? Well, you are talking nonsense after drinking. You can't take it seriously. I didn't mean to say bad things about you!"
"You called me at that time, do you still remember how you called me?"
Huo Xu entered the room sideways, placed the breakfast he bought for the girl on the road on the coffee table, opened the lid of the box, and handed it to her along with the disposable chopsticks.
Yu Ruoruan took the chopsticks with guilt and embarrassment.
An idea flashed through my mind.
Damn it!
Did I call you something embarrassing last night?
"What did I call you? I... have no memory." She said cautiously.
abnormal?
Yandere?
Bastard? Or devil?
Could it be...that he's my husband?
Thinking of this, Yu's soft cheeks immediately turned red to the extreme, and her ears felt hot.
She probably probably should... wouldn't call her husband such an incredible name, right?
Huo Xu couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw her face turn red and white. What was this girl thinking?
"You called me big brother."
Huo Xu announced the answer in a deep voice.
When Yu Ruanruan heard this, the heart in her chest fell back into her stomach, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "So this is it?"
What's so surprising about this?
"Ruanruan, you have never called me that before, who is this big brother?"
"Forehead……"
Yu Ruanruan couldn't remember what happened last night. Moreover, she had just received a call from the mysterious person. Her mind was now filled with the past of the "Cang Lang" organization.
"You may have heard wrongly. I called you Big Brother, right? Or maybe you were drunk last night and dreamed about Big Brother."
Huo Xu didn't think so, but looking at Ruan Ruan's expression, it seemed that he really didn't remember what happened yesterday.
"Come over and have breakfast? I just have news to bring you."
Huo Xu sat down on the sofa.
Yu Ruanruan also sat down and took the chopsticks from the man. Breakfast was a nutritious noodle soup, which was still hot.
She actually had no appetite, but she still started eating. While eating, she kept an eye on her cell phone on the table, a little worried that the mysterious person would call again later.
"Ruanruan, something happened to your adoptive mother."
"Pfft, cough cough cough..." Yu Ruanruan choked on a mouthful of egg yolk, coughed violently, and looked at Huo Xu in surprise.
How did he know what happened to Yang Cuihua?
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but frown, and stretched out his hand to pat her back, "Be careful."
"she……"
Yu Ruanruan swallowed and asked tentatively, "What happened to her?"
"I asked Zhang Mian to go to Nianhua Town last night, and it turned out that she has been missing for more than a month." Huo Xu frowned, and there was a dark glow in his phoenix eyes.
"Why did you ask Zhang Mian to go to Nianhua Town?"
Yu Ruanruan was a little suspicious and wary. Huo Xu was the official forensic doctor of the Imperial City Bureau and had a police qualification certificate. If he were to find out about Yang Cuihua and the "Cang Lang" organization, suspicion would inevitably be cast on him.
Yu Ruanruan knows the horror of "Cang Lang" better than anyone else.
Now that her identity has been exposed, the only thing she can do is to pretend to surrender. Sooner or later, she will be taken away by the wolf like Yang Cuihua.
If anyone around you knows your identity, it will be even more dangerous and unstable.
Before she completely gained Cang Lang's trust, Yu Ruanruan did not dare to tell Huo Xu about her past.
As expected, she saw Huo Xu hesitate for a second, and then said to her frankly, "I remember that you also stayed in an orphanage before. I never knew about your past before, so I wanted to talk to your adoptive mother."
"If you talk to her, what can you come up with?"
Yu Ruoruan said hurriedly, "Besides, Yang Cuihua is usually very vicious and has offended many people. Maybe it was her former enemies who..."
When Yu Ruoruan said this, she stopped abruptly.
She suddenly realized that no one around her knew that her relationship with her adoptive mother was not good.
I don't know what Yang Cuihua has done before.
Maybe Huo Xu still regards Yang Cuihua as a hard-working, simple country woman who is not greedy for money, right?
"I mean, this kind of thing should be left to the police. Let's call the police first."
The girl's desire was obvious and she hesitated to speak, but Huo Xu still found out the clues, and he couldn't help but frown.
The relationship between Ruanruan and her adoptive mother is not very good, and Huo Xu knows that.
Because he rarely hears from Ruan Ruan's heart that she misses Yang Cuihua, not to mention that she has almost never returned to Nianhua Town in the past ten years.
Just now he mentioned the news that his adoptive mother was missing, and the girl's reaction was also very abnormal.
Huo Xu felt more and more something was wrong.
Because in his perception, Ruanruan is a person who values friendship.
So, what did Yang Cuihua do to Ruanruan in the past? So that she doesn’t care at all about his disappearance now?
The man looked at Yu Ruanruan with warm eyes, and after a moment, he said, "Aren't you worried at all?"
"Ah? I...of course I'm worried! What did the police say?"
"Ruanruan." Huo Xu interrupted her, looked at her and said warmly, "What did your adoptive mother do to you?"
Yu Ruanruan's heart skipped a beat and she raised her eyes to look at Huo Xu in shock.
