531: The Lu Family Was Investigating Them

The Lu Family Was Investigating Them

Huo Yao contemplated before she replied succinctly. "He's nobody. He came to thank me because I helped save someone."1

Song Ning was stunned. "Save someone?"

"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yao softly without giving further explanation. She took out her phone and opened the live stream application.

'Little Princess' was participating in the live stream on his own today and she wondered if he got bullied.

Song Ning wanted to ask more but closed her mouth when she saw Huo Yao watching the live stream and did not seem to want to talk about it.

Although her daughter was usually obedient, she had a lot of secrets. If Huo Yao was unkeen on telling them, she would not say it.

Song Ning stopped probing. A thought crossed her mind and she turned to look at Huo Yao. She pretended to ask her casually. "Oh yes. Did anyone from the Lu family look you up?"

Huo Yao continued to look at her phone screen without looking up. A few seconds later, she finally replied. "Nope."

Even though He Xiaoman had looked her up at school once, it was a long time ago, so there was no point bringing it up.

"If anyone from the Lu family comes looking for you, you have to tell me about it." Song Ning picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and took a sip.

Huo Yao turned her head sideways slightly. Her eyes looked puzzled. "Why?"

Song Ning coughed and said, "Nothing. I am just worried they might push you around."

Huo Yao shifted her eyes quietly. "They are incapable of doing so."

"In any case, you have to tell me about it if anything happens. Don't keep it to yourself." A profound look appeared on Song Ning's face.

Huo Changfeng had come in the morning to update them that he had found out who was investigating them. Initially, they assumed that their usual competitors were behind it, so they even arranged for some security to protect their daughter in secret.

However, it turned out that the Lu family was behind it and Huo Yao's foster mother was involved.

She did not know why the woman would suddenly investigate them, but she knew it was bad news.

They had to be prepared.

Before long, Huo Yao received a text message from Lin Shuwen at lunchtime on Wednesday inviting her to examine Fang Chen in the afternoon.

Since Huo Yao had already agreed to it and she was free after school, she agreed to it.

Huo Yao walked out of the school gate at 5:00 pm. A black car sounded its horn from the roadside before a serious-looking man dressed in a black suit got out of the car and walked over to her.

The man walked right up to Huo Yao and bowed politely. "Miss Huo, Mr. Lin is waiting for you in the car."

Lin Shuwen had told the bodyguard to treat Huo Yao with respect.

Huo Yao glanced at him before she acknowledged him softly. She straightened her sling bag and headed over to the black car without hesitation.

The black car was not a posh vehicle. However, she noticed that the car had been modified, and the windows were made of bulletproof glass.

The bodyguard opened the back seat car door. Huo Yao bent down to get in.

Lin Shuwen sat in the front passenger seat. After she got into the car, Lin Shuwen greeted her courteously. "Miss Huo, thank you for coming."

Huo Yao straightened her back before she said, "Uh huh. It's not like I am going for free anyway."
