Chapter 63.2: Daddy Stays At Home (2)

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at the time on her phone watch, and replied, “It’s only half past eight. I want to be with Daddy…”

“Then it’s time to sleep. Be obedient, don’t disturb your father and grandfather. Do you want Aunt Zhao to tell you a story?”

With Aunt Zhao hovering over her, Huo Xiao Xiao knew she didn’t have a chance to go in. She looked at the study door dejectedly.

Does her daddy know who framed him?

Does he have a solution?

At that moment in the study, Old MasterHuo frowned after hearing everything Huo Suicheng had said. “Are you sure, that person named Wen Yang did this?”

“I’m not sure. I have already checked it.”#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

“According to you, the other party has no evidence at all. What’s the purpose then ?”

“I don’t know. I’m still investigating.”

“Then…”

“Dad,  calm down.”

Old Master Huo was almost breathless. He was worried about him the entire afternoon, but he didn’t expect the person directly involved in the matter to be calmer than him.

""

It was no use worrying!

“How come you don’t know anything about it?”

“It happened suddenly.”

“Then what are you going to do about this incident?”

“The police cannot convict me for the crime without evidence, and without conviction the suspicion was cleared on today. But this news is expected to be spread widely. The Luming mountain project will be suspended, and the company’s stock will fall in a short period of time, but it does not matter.”

Seeing that he was not at all emotional, Old Master Huo asked, “Are you not worried at all?”

Huo Suicheng looked at him calmly, “Worrying is the most useless emotion, I am not guilty. I believe there will be a solution one day.”

Old master Huo nodded his head not knowing whether he was agreeing to his words or for his unruffled emotions.

Thinking of his frantic action this afternoon, he was really anxious.

“Since you are so sure, wait a minute. I called Professor Duan from the archaeological team today. You will contact him tomorrow to see if you can ask him to do an identification of the ruins of the tomb.”#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

“I know.”

Old Master Huo got up and said, “Rest early.”

“Dad, there is actually one thing I was surprised by. You didn’t doubt me. I thought you would at least say that if you hadn’t developed Luming Mountain, there wouldn’t have been this thing.”

Old Master Huo stood by the door and glanced at him, “Which father would believe that his child had done something bad?”

Huo Suicheng laughed dumbly, “You should rest early.”

The door to the study closed.

Huo Suicheng stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

He looked at the nightlights outside the window and his reflection on the  window.

He remembered an animation that he had watched with Huo Xiaoxiao a long time ago.

In order to eat the sheep, the wolf pretended to be a sheep and entered the flock, and as the time passed it got used to eating grass.

But it was just a habit, could you say that this wolf, in the future, would not ever eat meat again?

His phone on the desk rang.

“How’s your business going?”

It was from Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi smiled and replied on the phone, “It went well. Not only did I sent the photos of Mr. Chen, whom you introduced,  of his little lover to his wife, but also informed a part of his company’s operation over the years. Back then, Mrs. Chen had a part in starting this business. I talked to her. I admire Mrs. Chen’s courage and felt sorry that she had given up her business because her family left the company she founded. After talking with me, Mrs. Chen felt so deeply. I think Mr. Chen will soon have to retreat to the second line and go to the home for the elderly. Master Huo, I’m so embarrassed to waste your chances of matchmaking.”

“No problem.”

“What about you? What about matters related to you? Was it tricky?”

Huo Suicheng flicked his cigarette on his fingertips. He turned to the desk and shook part of the cigarette butts into the ashtray. He said on the phone, “Come prepared.”

“You found out? Who?”

“I didn’t find out, I just guessed it. I guess there will be more clues tomorrow.”

“Okay, if you need help, call me.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, most of the cigarette in Huo Suicheng’s hand were burned.  He did not ignite it to finish, instead he just put it out in the ashtray. The smoke mist that was dense upward, gradually dissipated in the air.

The next morning, Huo Xiaoxiao washed up and left her room. She happened to bump into her dad in the corridor.

The strange thing was that her daddy was in his home clothes and hadn’t changed it this time,  obviously he wasn’t planning to go out.

“Daddy, why haven’t you changed your clothes?”

“Dad won’t go to the company today.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Stay home.”
