734: Huo Tingrui’s Intentions

Huo Tingrui’s Intentions

It was already 3:00 pm when they got back to City S.2

After getting off the flight, Min Yu received a call from Zhuo Yun. He wanted to talk to Huo Yao when they came out of the arrival gate, but Huo Yulin stood in between them. "Go ahead. Someone is picking us up."

Huo Yulin had overheard his conversation on the phone.

Min Yu put away his phone and glanced at Huo Yulin before he smiled and said, "Okay."

After he left, the cold feeling in Huo Yulin's eyes disappeared.

Huo Yao noticed the look in Huo Yulin's eyes. She raised her brow and asked. "Brother Yulin, do you have a problem with Min Yu?"

Huo Yulin straightened his back with barely any expression on his face and replied calmly. "I don't have a problem with him. I just think he is up to no good."

He paused before he continued in a serious tone. "Yao, you have to be careful."

Huo Yao's phone rang in her pocket. She acknowledged Huo Yulin patronizingly before taking out her phone to answer it. After talking briefly, she hung up. "Come on. Brother Tingrui is waiting for us in the parking lot."

The moment she finished her sentence, she headed over to the parking lot with her luggage.

Huo Yulin did not harp over the previous topic and simply followed behind her.

Before long, they found Huo Tingrui in the parking lot. They had not seen Huo Tingrui in a few days. He had dark circles beneath his eyes and had clearly been working late.

Huo Yao glanced at Huo Tingrui as she put her luggage in the boot before she asked in concern. "Brother Tingrui, have you been very busy?"

Huo Tingrui adjusted his spectacles before opening the front passenger seat door and gesturing for her to get in. After they got into the car, he finally replied. "Uh huh. It is the end of the year, so I tend to have more work."

Huo Yao nodded and got into the car. "No matter how busy you are, you need rest."

"Yulin, you can sit in the back," said Huo Tingrui before he walked around the car and sat in the driver's seat.

Huo Yulin stood by the roadside for two seconds before he opened the back seat door.

Huo Tingrui kept talking to Huo Yao in the car and asking about Old Madam Yang nonstop. Huo Yulin was sitting in the backseat and was unable to join in the conversation.

He sat at the back and felt invisible.

By the time they got home, it was already 4 in the afternoon. Huo Tingrui helped carry the local products that Old Madam Yang had prepared for them into the house before going back to the office.

Huo Yao wanted to find out more about Huo Yulin's past, so she followed behind him.

When they got to the garage, Huo Yao asked. "Brother Tingrui, we bumped into Lu Xia when we went back."

Huo Tingrui automatically frowned. "Did Yulin see Lu Xia?"

"Uh huh." Huo Yao contemplated before she asked him. "Does Brother Yulin's condition have something to do with Lu Xia?"

Huo Tingrui looked at Huo Yao and knew that she was a thoughtful girl. He contemplated for a few seconds before he nodded candidly. "If not for her, Yulin wouldn't have suffered so much.

"What exactly happened during the kidnapping?" asked Huo Yao finally.

Huo Tingrui leaned against the car and sighed. "I don't know that either. After Yulin got rescued, he became severely introverted for two years and refused to talk about it no matter how we tried asking."

Huo Tingrui paused. He looked sad as he thought about the kidnapping incident. After some time, he finally continued. "From then on, I noticed the hate he had for Xiaxia, so I reckoned that the abduction case was not as simple as it seemed."
