485 A Family Outside of Home
“Chen Yufeng lives in Building 8, Room 2,” Sisi told everyone excitedly when they returned to the car.
Huo Zhou praised, “You’re really something. What should we do now? Go straight to Chen Yufeng?”
Qiao An fell into deep thought. After a moment, Qiao An said, “This will alert the enemy.” She looked at Sisi. “Sisi, your excuse just now was very good. Now, pretend to look for Chen Yufeng and take the opportunity to observe if there’s any sign of Uncle Lu at home.”
Sisi made an OK gesture. “Leave this to me.”
Seeing her confident expression, Huo Zhou reminded her worriedly, “Don’t give yourself away.”
Sisi smiled and said, “Zhou Zhou, don’t worry. I studied journalism in university and have experience being a paparazzi.”
Huo Zhou was enlightened. “No wonder.”
Sisi pushed open the car door and walked towards the villa door.
Qiao An, Huo Xiaoran, and the others sat in the car. Huo Zhou asked in boredom, “We’ll stay in the car? Don’t you find it boring?”
Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him. “What else? Are you going in to admire the scenery of this villa?”
Huo Zhou disagreed. “Why not?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “If Uncle Lu is really the kind of person we think he is, then his anti-reconnaissance methods are very powerful. If he sees us here, he will definitely be suspicious. Next, it will be difficult for us to investigate other things.”
Huo Zhou was puzzled. “I really don’t understand. Xiaoran, instead of being a domineering CEO, you insisted on investigating such a boring matter with Qiao An. This doesn’t match your cold and domineering persona.”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless. “Do you think An’an and I have nothing better to do?”
Huo Zhou said incredulously, “Even if the cause of Aunt Lu’s death is suspicious, can’t we just leave this to the police to investigate? Why should we torture ourselves?”
Only then did Qiao An tell Huo Zhou, “I suspect Father Lu’s identity.”
Huo Zhou was stunned. “What do you mean? Isn’t he just a retired officer?”
Qiao An said, “I keep feeling that there are many secrets about him that we can’t see. Why don’t the good police officers around him end up well?”
“Qiao An, what do you mean?” Huo Zhou smelled something ominous.
His life was smooth-sailing. He always thought of human nature as so beautiful.
Huo Xiaoran hit the nail on the head. “An’an suspects that Qianqian and Xiao Ming’s deaths are related to him.”
“How is that possible?”
Qiao An glared at Huo Zhou with a fierce expression. “Brother Xiao Ming and Sister Qianqian’s lurking skills are the best I’ve ever seen. But their identities were discovered. Sister Qianqian was killed when she was fleeing with me, and when Brother Xiao Ming realized that his identity had been exposed, he escaped. When he returned to the Xiao family, he clearly hid it so well. Why was his identity still exposed in the end?”
Huo Zhou’s handsome face gradually lost color.
“This makes me wonder if someone around us betrayed Xiao Ming. But who was it? I used to think it was someone from the Xiao family, but later, I found out that the men of the Xiao family had sacrificed a few lives for the narcotics business. The Xiao family hated drug-trafficking terrorists. After I excluded the Xiao family, I was very confused.”
“That was until this morning when I heard Auntie Lu’s brother reprimanding Uncle Lu. Why were he and Old Madam Lu safe and sound when others around them were dead?”
“Although my suspicions don’t make sense, I’m willing to trust a woman’s intuition.”
Huo Zhou trembled and crossed his arms in fear. “Xiaoran, I’m afraid.”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless.
Then he opened his arms. “Do you want a hug from Cousin?”
Huo Zhou looked at the joking Xiaoran and felt nauseous.
At this moment, Sisi sneaked out of the door, opened the car door, and got in. She quickly urged, “Go, go.”
Huo Zhou stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
“Sisi, did you discover something?” Qiao An asked excitedly.
Sisi handed the phone to Qiao An. “Sister Qiao An, I don’t know the Uncle Lu you’re talking about, but I found a family photo in Chen Yufeng’s home. I secretly took it. Look, is the man on your Uncle Lu?”
Qiao An picked up her phone and stared at the enlarged family photo on the screen.
In the photo, Chen Yufeng was standing in front, and Uncle Lu was hugging two young boys. The family was smiling brightly. That smile reflected a happiness Qiao An had never seen in Uncle Lu.
Qiao An’s heart slid to the bottom.
She handed the photo to Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou. The two men’s heads were together. When Huo Zhou saw this photo, he was immediately shocked.
“Heavens, I didn’t expect Uncle Lu to have a family outside. He’s actually such an immoral man?” Huo Zhou exclaimed.
Qiao An rolled her eyes at him, teasing his innocence. “Now do you believe how dark human nature is?”
Huo Zhou couldn’t recover for a long time. He felt very disgusted by Uncle Lu. He scolded him angrily, “I didn’t expect him to be such a refined scum. He looks serious on the surface, but he’s so vulgar in private.”
Qiao An sneered. “Who writes the word bad guy on their faces?”
After Qiao An finished speaking, she thought of something else. She looked at Huo Xiaoran worriedly. “Brother Xiaoran, I suspect that Uncle Lu is an undercover agent of the drug cartel in the police. Although I don’t have evidence, this feeling is very strong. I’m very worried that Uncle Lu already knows about tomorrow’s mission. If he leaks it, you will be in danger.”
Huo Xiaoran nodded with a solemn expression.
“Xiaoran, what mission are you on?” Huo Zhou asked anxiously.
Huo Xiaoran looked at him. “You have to keep what we said today a secret.”
Huo Zhou was anxious. “You didn’t tell me anything! What can I reveal?”
Huo Xiaoran patted his shoulder. “Zhou Zhou, you’re timid. It’s best that you don’t know.”
Huo Zhou shook off his hand. “You’re my only brother. Don’t do anything risky, understand?”
Huo Xiaoran nodded.
At this moment, Qiao An issued an emergency order to the detective agency. “Track this person immediately.” Then, she sent the photo of the target, Uncle Lu, his home address, and his lover’s home address to the workgroup.
“Roger that, Boss.” The group began to clamor. “Got another job.”
Then, Qiao An said to Huo Xiaoran, “Brother Xiaoran, I think it’s necessary to report this to Uncle Xiao.”
Huo Xiaoran nodded. “That’s good too. Our plan might need to be changed tomorrow. Moreover, the fewer people know, the better.”
