No wonder there was fear in Huo Xu's eyes just now. The memory of his childhood has been haunting him like a nightmare. The most profound impression he has on his mother is probably the scene of her lying in the car covered in blood after the car accident.
.
Yu Ruoran's eyes were moist and she said quickly, "Let's go back quickly! I'll change these clothes right now!"
In the end, it was the kind-hearted little policewoman from the police station who kindly borrowed a set of clothes from Yu Ruanruan and took a shower in the staff dormitory behind the police station before they returned to the hotel.
The bathroom was filled with mist.
Yu Ruoruan rinsed herself from the inside out again, using up half a bottle of shampoo before completely cleaning off the red paint on her head.
When she came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, she saw Huo Xu sitting in a daze on the lounge chair by the window.
He had just finished taking a shower. His hair was wet and hanging in front of his forehead. The belt of his white bathrobe was tied so tightly that no bones could be seen below his neck.
After he took off his suit, the edges and corners of his body suddenly disappeared, without any edge, and he looked like a lost child, a little well-behaved and a little confused.
Yu Ruanruan was overflowing with motherly love all of a sudden. Seeing Huo Xu like this, she just wanted to hold him in her arms and rub her face vigorously.
She tentatively walked towards the man, tilting her head to observe his reaction.
Huo Xu noticed her, but didn't react at all. Yu Ruanruan walked sideways like a crab and slowly moved to Huo Xu's side.
Then he bent down and gently hugged his neck from behind.
Her movements were very gentle, and the girl's body was already very soft. Such a touch made the man's body suddenly tense.
Yu Ruanruan lay on his shoulder, tilting her head to observe his reaction, "What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?"
Huo Xu suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind and with a strong force, the girl fell onto his lap.
He held Yu's limp chin and frowned at her, "You know the truth."
This is a declarative sentence.
But it’s also a double entendre.
It refers to whether he is happy or not, and it also refers to Qin Hongying's murder case.
Yu Ruanruan sat on his lap, couldn't help but squeeze the fabric of his bathrobe, and bit her lip.
How to explain to Huo Xu?
"Why don't you say anything?" The man looked at her with serious eyes.
Yu Ruoruan rubbed her sweaty hands guiltily, "I don't know where to start..."
"From the disappearance of your adoptive mother."
"All right."
Yu Ruanruan lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to lay the groundwork, "Do you still remember that I said before that I support you in finding Tangtang?"
"uh-huh?"
"You mentioned Canglang, a human trafficking organization, to me at that time."
Yu Ruanruan swallowed and finally summoned up the courage to say, "Actually, my adoptive mother was once a member of the Canglang."
"What did you say?" Huo Xu's expression suddenly changed and he looked at the girl in disbelief.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Yu Ruanruan shushed three times in a row, reaching out and covering the man's mouth tightly, "First of all, let's say that no matter what happens, you will definitely trust me, right? Just wink if you agree.
Eyes, otherwise, I will silence you!"
she said jokingly.
Huo Xu blinked. He had never thought that the truth was indeed like this. If Ruanruan didn't tell her today, how much time and police force would have been wasted on this matter to determine the result.
However, Ruanruan is even willing to tell herself such a secret, which proves that she actually completely trusts him in her heart.
When Yu Ruanruan let go of her little hand covering his lips, the man stared at her closely, "What next?"
"Then...as her adopted daughter, I used to be a member of the Wolf..."
Huo Xu's hands on his knees suddenly clenched tightly.
Yu Ruoruan noticed his defensiveness and strangeness at this moment, and her heart suddenly became cold, "Will you... look down on me?"
Huo Xu took a deep breath and waited for a long time before silently pushing her away, standing up and leaving.
Seeing him walking away without saying a word, Yu Ruanruan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Canglang's status is indeed disgraceful...
Is Huo Xu disappointed with her?
"I was still young at that time. Although I did a lot of bad things like cheating and kidnapping, I had no choice but to survive. Later, after Yang Cuihua took me to escape from the organization, I never did any bad things again! Really."
Yu Ruoruan explained that at this moment, she felt a little panicked in her heart.
She believed that Huo Xu would not embarrass her because he knew her secret, but she was not sure whether this identity would create a gap between them.
After all, Huo Xu's Tangtang was most likely abducted by Canglang.
Will he be angry and take it out on her?
Yu Ruanruan felt that normal people would be somewhat angry.
She lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly in her heart.
Forget it, just take it out on yourself.
Anyway, she and Huo Xu are now in a state of breaking up and not getting back together, although he said the words "she is the only person he wants to marry in this life" at the police station today.
But after all, he was helping her out, so she couldn't take it too seriously.
Huo Xu actually doesn't know her, nor does he know her past. Those dirty pasts, those traces that she erased, will be exposed to the sun sooner or later.
You can be deceived for a while, but you can't be deceived forever.
What's more, next, she plans to infiltrate into the "Cang Lang" organization and work as an undercover agent.
In this first task, she relied on intuition and action to win the trust of Cang Lang and gain the initiative. Next, she needed the cooperation of Huo Xu and the police.
Regardless of whether Huo Xu can accept her past or whether there will be any estrangement from her, she will implement these things and plans step by step.
This may be her mission of rebirth.
Just when Yu Ruanruan thought that after the man left, he might not come back again.
Three minutes later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Huo Xu held a folder in his hand and handed it to Yu Ruanruan.
"This is?"
Yu Ruanruan was stunned and blinked suspiciously.
"Investigation file on the Nianhua Town murder case."
Yu Ruanruan opened the file, and the first thing that fell out of it were a few pictures.
It was a close-up photo of a human limb.
Some have lost three fingers, and some have half their ears cut off, but these people all have a common feature, that is, they must have wolf head tattoos on their bodies.
When I opened the title page, I saw a piece of information about Yang Cuihua, with a capital and bold text on the header saying: Identity is doubtful, suspected to be a remnant of the Wolf.
Yu Ruanruan was stunned, then raised her head and met Huo Xu's eyes, "Have you... found out?"
