Huo Yunting softened even more to see his family so happy together.
The joyful atmosphere in the family was interrupted later at night.
“Brother Ting!”
Huo Li cried as he stepped into the house. “Xiang Jinxi escaped!”
“Shut up!”
As expected, something happened. Huo Yunting’s expression darkened.
However, his mood was ruined not because of the news. He darted a quick look at his wife beside him.
She looked surprised, so he asked, “Huo Li, what do you mean? Xiang Jinxi escaped? What happened and how did he escape?”
“…”
Silence in the air.
F*ck!
Huo Li realized a second too late that they were acting without Lu Zhaoyang’s knowledge.
She had no idea about their plan.
“Talk to me!”
Lu Zhaoyang realized something was amiss as well. Her gaze turned cold as she glared at Huo Yunting like a provoked animal.
“Huo Yunting, what did you hide from me? I’ll give you one chance to explain everything to me now, or else… we are done!”
“Cough…”
Huo Yunting sidled up toward her. However, before his arm reached her waist, she had already slid away to the far end of the sofa.
“Tell me!”
“The truth is…”
Huo Yunting stopped delaying and gave her a brief and concise overview of his plan.
After that, she looked even more furious and upset. She said slowly, word by word, “So, you lost the tender on purpose? What were you so disappointed and upset about?!”
Huo Li looked at him sympathetically.
They were paying the price for lying to her.
Huo Yunting blinked under her unwavering gaze. He sighed inside and opened his arms wide, going for the shameless answer. “When did I say I was disappointed and upset?”
“…”
Huo Li was shocked!
As expected of Brother Ting.
What a bold move!
“I see!”
Lu Zhaoyang smiled cooly. She slowly got up from the sofa and glared at him again.
“Huo Yunting, from today onward, you are not allowed to step into the bedroom, or I will bring your two children out of this house. Oh, and may I ask, do you want a hat? Perhaps a green one?!”
“… Wife, I was wrong!”
He received a cold shoulder in return.
Huo Yunting was truly saddened and disappointed this time. He was going to tell her about the plan earlier today, but Lu Zhaoyang’s pregnancy made him forget all about it.
He turned to look at the man who caused all of this. Huo Li shuddered under his dark gaze and chuckled dryly as he tried to steer his attention away.
“Brother Ting, Xiang Jinxi was rescued.”
Huo Yunting frowned. “By who?”
“I have not investigated yet.”
He came straight to the mansion to report when he heard the news.
“State Security called and said that their car was rammed and flipped over by a few trucks while en route to prison. They exchanged gunfire with the other party, but they lost Xiang Jinxi. No one knows where he is now.”
Huo Yunting said nothing. He simply tapped his finger on the sofa in distraction.
Xiang Jinxi always gave him the feeling of a lone wolf. He had no support from other influential people and he might not even have friends.
Who could have overcome State Security’s men and help him escape?
