436: A Guess

A Guess

Dad? Daughter? Huo Yunshen looked at Xu Xiyan in awe. Is Ye Xun Ying Bao's father? But I thought she's the daughter of Fang Xiaocheng's relative?1

"Just on time, Mr. Huo," Xu Xiyan smiled. "Dinner is almost done."

Huo Sanyan pushed Huo Yunshen into the living room. Xu Xiyan got a glass of water for him and went back into the kitchen.

"I'll go help her," Huo Sanyan said. "I might be able to learn something."

Learning to cook wasn't Huo Sanyan's intention. What she wanted was to know more about Ye Xun.

Only two men and a cute little girl remained in the living room.

Ying Bao was playing with a puzzle on the table. Ye Xun raised his head and looked at Huo Yunshen.

"Mr. Huo, how many identities do you have?" Ye Xun asked.

"I don't get what you mean," Huo Yunshen replied while raising one of his eyebrows.

"Don't act stupid," Ye Xun said while looking toward the kitchen. "There's only two of us here."

"Hey, don't forget about me," Ying Bao scolded.

"Of course," Ye Xun smiled as he rubbed Ying Bao's head.

"Even from when you bought Room 101, I can't find anything regarding you anywhere," Ye Xun said as if he was possessed by Sherlock Holmes. "Don't you find that suspicious?"

"And why's that?" Huo Yunshen asked. He'd already guessed that Ye Xun would try and look him up.

Huo Yunshen would've already used his power to send Ye Xun back to Estan if not for his sister.

"Just tell me, which side are you on?" Ye Xun said as he got up and stood in front of Huo Yunshen. "JS or Dark Zone?"

In Ye Xun's mind, Huo Yunshen was either with the JS or the Dark Zone.

A few years ago, JS had infiltrated the Dark Zone and killed the brother of their leader, which worsened their relationship. The leader of Dark Zone even had a worldwide 5 billion dollar bounty for the head of the JS leader, Zeus.

Yet, until now, no one had a clue who Zeus was.

"I don't get what you're saying," Huo Yunshen replied calmly. "I'm me, Huo Yunshen."

"Don't play stupid in front of me!" Ye Xun scolded. "5 billion for Zeus's head. If the Dark Zone knew about your identity, what do you think they would do to you?"

Ye Xun wasn't a 100% sure that Huo Yunshen was Zeus, it was only a wild guess.

"5 billion for Zeus's head," Huo Yunshen said coldly. "And how much do you think your head is worth?"

In other words, Huo Yunshen was asking how many heads Ye Xun has.

Xu Xiyan walked out from the kitchen with a tray of cut fruits in her hands, and she saw the awkward situation.

"What are you doing to Mr. Huo?" Xu Xiyan asked in surprise. "What did you say to him this time?"

"Nothing, we were just talking," Ye Xun laughed as he patted Huo Yunshen's shoulder. "Don't worry, we are friends now."

Xu Xiyan stared at him, clearly not believing a word he'd just said.
