Chapter 722: An Act of Revenge
If not for the clues in the postmortem investigation report, perhaps even he would have thought that this was an unavoidable accident.
Seeing this, Su Yayan reached out to hold his hand and comforted him, “It’s okay, we’ll find it sooner or later.”
Then she thought of what Huo Shaofeng had said, “Could Huo Shaofeng really know something? I didn’t know much about it before you came back, so I didn’t reject or agree to his offer. I only said that I would discuss it with you when you are back. Do you think you should ask him?”
Huo Chenhuan’s eyes flashed. He nodded and said, “I will handle this. You just focus on taking care of the baby. I will take care of everything else.”
Su Yayan knew that Huo Chenhuan did not want her to get involved in this matter, so she did not ask further. She nodded obediently and agreed.
Huo Chenhuan smiled slightly and touched Su Yayan’s face, which had finally gained some weight, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
“By the way, my uncle is coming back.”
“Your uncle?” Su Yayan blinked and looked surprised, “When?”
“In the next few days, he might come over to see you.”
“See me?” Su Yayan’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked fl.u.s.tered, “Is there anything I need to prepare? Does your uncle have any taboos? Do I need to pay attention to anything?”
“Don’t be nervous, he’s just here to see you. He won’t do anything to you.”
Su Yayan was not comforted at all. Instead, she stared at Huo Chenhuan for a long time and deliberated. “Are you… not on good terms with him?”
Huo Chenhuan was slightly startled. “Why do you ask?”
“You’ve never mentioned him before. Last time, it was rare for you to mention him, but you didn’t seem like you wanted to say anything.”
Huo Chenhuan was silent for a while before he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “It’s not that we don’t have a good relations.h.i.+p, it’s just… There’s some conflict.”
“Conflict?”
“My uncle was originally a special agent in the special department that specialized in dangerous jobs. Most of the people he came into contact with were the most vicious people in the world.”
The only time Huo Chenhuan mentioned his uncle in front of Su Yayan was because he was worried that Hai Yi would attack Luo Baogeng and his wife in order to suppress East City.
At that time, even though Huo Chenhuan only mentioned him in a few words, Su Yayan still had a hunch that this uncle whom she had never met before was not a simple person.
However, she did not expect him to have such an ident.i.ty.
“When my parents pa.s.sed away, he came back as soon as he received the news and gave me a copy of the information.”
“Information?”
“Yes, it was this information that let me know that my parents did not die in an accident.”
“Then…”
“My uncle tried his best to find out the truth, but he accidentally found out that his enemies were involved.”
Su Yayan was stunned and immediately understood what Huo Chenhuan meant.
Due to the special nature of his job, his uncle would inevitably provoke some terrifying enemies. These enemies could not do anything to him, so they were very likely to attack his family.
“I was young at that time, and because of my parents’ matter, I was quite depressed. After I found out about this, I had a one-sided fight with him…”
Su Yayan heard this and hugged his waist with heartache. She curled up in his arms, trying to use the warmth of her body to give him warmth.
When the Huo family was in trouble, Huo Chenhuan was only in his teens. He suddenly lost both his parents, and not long after, he found out that the tragedy of his parents was very likely due to another family member. It was a double blow!
