C419 Identity Exposure

"Young Master, Huo Mingyang has been trying to contact some investors for the past few days. It seems like, he plans to set up another sect after he leaves the Huo Family."

Huo Mingshen sat at the desk, drinking coffee while listening to his subordinate's report of Huo Mingyang's recent movements. Hearing that Huo Mingyang had plans to establish his own sect, Huo Mingshen sneered coldly. He put down his coffee cup, looked up at his men, and said slowly: "I think you should know what to do even without my orders."

Hearing this, the man nodded his head and said with understanding, "Young master, don't worry. I know what to do."

"Anything else?" Huo Mingshen saw that the man had not left, so he asked.

"Young Master, Miss Jing Sung has returned to the Huo Family today." The man reported to Huo Mingshen.

"Is there a problem with her returning to the Huo Family?" Huo Mingshen looked at the man in confusion and asked.

Even though his grandfather was very confident that Soong Shiyan could obtain Soong's Group, perhaps he didn't expect that Jing Sung would be able to acquire Soong's Group without spending a single cent of her money to buy shares from the fake Soong Shiyan. Hence, she decided to return to Huo Family because of Grandfather's intentions.

"There are no problems for Miss Jing Sung to return to Huo Family. However, Young Master, we have already found out about the matter that you told us to investigate a few days ago. On that day, the person who surrounded and attacked Miss Jing Sung was Huo Family's bodyguard. "

"What did you say?" A hint of surprise surfaced on Huo Mingshen's face. Anyone who could send out their Huo Family bodyguards to carry out missions, he knew who it was without thinking — could it be that his grandfather had found something?

"What about her now? Is it safe? " Huo Mingshen asked with a serious expression.

"Of course it's safe — I just asked the guards at home, and they said that Miss Jing Sung left the Huo Family an hour ago."

"Mhm," Huo Mingshen muttered, "Looks like it's time to call grandpa."

… ….

Soong Shiyan followed the address on the slip of paper the old man had given her and drove to her destination.

This was a villa, some distance from the main entrance. In front of it was a lawn about the size of a football field. It looked like it had been mended for a long time. The lawn was surrounded by a white fence, and beside the gate was a guardhouse. Inside sat a uniformed doorman.

Soong Shiyan had even intentionally put on her sunglasses, covering most of her face and eyes to prevent others in the villa from recognizing her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that you can't just casually enter here? " The guard saw Soong Shiyan's car slowly stop in front of the door, so he stuck his head out of the guard room and shouted at Soong Shiyan.

"The old man told me to come here. Open the door." Soong Shiyan rolled down the window and said with an expressionless face.

The guard was intimidated by Soong Shiyan's imposing manner and swallowed his saliva. Only then did he look the same. Remembering what Yu Yun had told him, he said to Soong Shiyan, "We won't see anyone, other than the Old Master, even if the Emperor himself comes, we won't open the door."

Although the guard didn't know Huo Mingshen's identity, he had seen him from afar. Although he was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see his face at the time, the guard was still intimidated by the invisible air around him. Plus, with Yu Yun's order to not let anyone else in, he naturally refused Soong Shiyan's request to enter.

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she said to the guard with a stern expression: "Who said the old man didn't come? "The old man's car broke down in the middle of the journey, so he sent me here first. Hurry up and open the door, if you delay, can you afford to wait?"

Soong Shiyan's expression was cold, and her words were biting cold. She radiated with an aura that could make people submit. Hearing Soong Shiyan say that the old man was also behind them, the guard didn't dare to stop her anymore, so he just opened the door and let her in.

Soong Shiyan parked in front of the villa and got out. She walked to the door and rang the doorbell. The servant was in the kitchen on the first floor when he heard the doorbell ring. He wiped his hands on his apron and went to the door.

Since Soong Shiyan had already entered the main door, the servant didn't ask about Soong Shiyan's identity and just opened the door for her.

"Who are you?" the servant asked as she looked at Soong Shiyan who was wearing sunglasses. She had thought that the family's bodyguard had returned. She hadn't thought that it would be a woman. She had worked here for more than a month, but she had never seen a woman in this house before. As a result, she was unable to react in time.

"Tell the people at home that a guest has arrived and that he is to come to see me." Soong Shiyan went straight to the living room, sat on the sofa and said to the servant.

Seeing that Soong Shiyan had come with ill intentions, the servant thought that Soong Shiyan had come because of some emotional issues. She couldn't care about anything else, so she served Soong Shiyan a cup of scented tea. Then she quickly went upstairs to find Yu Yun.

"Yu Yun, there's a guest at my house who says he wants to see Young Master." the servant said. She did not know Huo Mingshen's identity, nor had she seen his face. She only heard Yu Yun call him Young Master, so she followed Yu Yun and called him Young Master.

"Guest?" Hearing that, Yu Yun was a bit surprised. The old tutor was the only one who had been to this villa a few times. No one else knew. If the old tutor had come, it was impossible for the servant not to recognize him.

"Yeah, it's even a lady." the servant said.

"I'll go down and take a look." Yu Yun said in a low voice.

Soong Shiyan sat on the sofa, drinking scented tea and taking her time. She wanted to see who the successor of this old man, who was hiding in the shadows, was!

When Yu Yun arrived at the living room, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa, drinking scented tea. She didn't seem to take him to be an outsider at all. With his back to her, he did not see her face. However, from the view of her back, the woman's appearance should be pretty good.

Seeing that, Yu Yun walked over and asked Soong Shiyan, "Who are you?"

Soong Shiyan thought his voice sounded familiar, so she put down her tea and looked back. Her expression darkened – it was actually this man! In other words, Heir of the Huo Family, who was hidden by the old man, was the man who drugged Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu and sent people to kidnap her!

Due to Soong Shiyan wearing sunglasses, although Yu Yun felt that she looked familiar, he never expected that the woman in front of him would be Soong Shiyan. He walked forward and asked, "Just who are you? What exactly do you want to do here? "

Soong Shiyan knew that if she revealed her true face, she might not be able to see the man in the shadows. Therefore, she did not take off her sunglasses. Instead, she slowly stood up and looked at Yu Yun.

"Miss, don't you think it's a bit rude for you to come to someone else's house and not even take off your own door or your sunglasses?" Yu Yun frowned and said in a neutral tone.

"Then, I'm afraid I have to be a bit more rude. That way, I'll be able to live up to your evaluation of me, won't I?" Soong Shiyan said with a sneer. Then, she slowly walked towards Yu Yun. Before he could guess what she was going to do, she had already taken the initiative and attacked Yu Yun.

Seeing this, Yu Yun quickly dodged but was unable to escape from Soong Shiyan's attack. Instead, he was slapped in the face by Soong Shiyan when he dodged. After training her strength for a long time, Soong Shiyan's strength had improved greatly. After being attacked by her, Yu Yun immediately felt that he had lost his vision. His feet were unsteady, and he immediately sat on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Soong Shiyan retracted her hand, intending to walk upstairs. Yu Yun came back to his senses and saw that Soong Shiyan was about to go upstairs. He didn't have time to care about anything else, he quickly got up and held out his hand to stop Soong Shiyan.

"Halt!" Yu Yun looked at Soong Shiyan and said coldly. There was also a trace of coldness in his voice.

"Scram!" Otherwise, I will not be courteous to you anymore! " Soong Shiyan shouted angrily. Today, no matter what, she had to see that man! She wanted to see who the man behind her was!

Yu Yun stood motionlessly in front of Soong Shiyan. If not for his chest still rising and falling, he really would have looked like a statue.

"Just who are you!" Yu Yun looked at Soong Shiyan and asked coldly.

Soong Shiyan knew that regardless of whether she revealed her true face or not, this man would not let her go upstairs to meet his master. However, Soong Shiyan still took off her sunglasses slowly. She looked at Yu Yun with a mocking smile on her face.

"It's me — you didn't expect it!" Soong Shiyan looked at Yu Yun and said with a sneer.

Looking at Soong Shiyan's face, Yu Yun was stunned on the spot — it was actually Jing Sung! However, how did Jing Sung know about this place?

Soong Shiyan took advantage of the moment Yu Yun was in a daze to grab his arm and throw him over her shoulder at a lightning speed. She then quickly ran up the stairs.

Seeing this, Yu Yun's heart tightened. He struggled to get up from the ground and followed Soong Shiyan with difficulty. While he fished out his phone, he walked upstairs.

Soong Shiyan went upstairs and pushed open the door several times, but there was no sign of her. Finally, she arrived outside the room in the furthest corner. For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart, causing her to feel a trace of cowardice.

Soong Shiyan stood on the spot for a while and saw that Yu Yun had also gone upstairs. He was holding his phone and walking towards her. She did not care about her strange mood as she abruptly pushed open the door.

… ….

Huo Mingshen was sitting in his study room when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. He couldn't help but frown — — What was going on with Yu Yun? Why would someone be so rash and make such a commotion?

He was about to go out and take a look when he noticed that his cell phone was ringing.

"Young master — —" There was a trace of nervousness in Yu Yun's voice.

"What's going on? Aren't you at home? "Why did you call me?" Huo Mingshen was a bit surprised.

"Miss Jing Sung is here. I couldn't stop her, but she has already gone upstairs. Quickly lock the door to the study. If you are late, it will be too late!" Yu Yun fought against time with his words and said in a single breath. He didn't even have a chance to catch his breath.

Hearing that, Huo Mingshen's expression changed. He didn't have time to think about it too much and immediately stood up and walked towards the study room's door. However, before he could reach the door, someone pushed it open.

Their eyes met, and time came to a standstill in that instant. Even the dust floating in the air seemed to stand still.

Soong Shiyan stared blankly at the man standing in front of her. After a long while, she finally muttered, "Fragrant, Mushroom …"1

Although the man in front of her stood against the light, Soong Shiyan was still able to see his appearance. That handsome face, those delicate facial features, she could not be more familiar with them. He was a lentinus edodes, the first person to give her warmth after her rebirth! But, didn't Mushroom already die, on the way to the airport?

Soong Shiyan rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Just as she was about to look at the man in front of her again, Huo Mingshen had already turned around with his back facing Soong Shiyan, leaving her with only a view of his back.

At this moment, Yu Yun had already arrived at the study room. Soong Shiyan had already opened the door and was standing at the entrance. There was a trace of worry on his face. Soon, he came back to his senses and stood between Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingshen. He looked at Soong Shiyan and said, "Please leave immediately — or else, I'll call the police right now and say that you trespassed into the house!"

Hearing that, a sneer appeared on Soong Shiyan's face. She said to Yu Yun, "Okay, but I advise you to call the police right now. When the time comes for the police to come, I want to see exactly why your young master is so shameful! "

"You …" Hearing that, Yu Yun looked at Soong Shiyan angrily, but he didn't know what to say.

"Yu Yun, you may leave!" Huo Mingshen said gloomily.

"Young Master — —" Yu Yun looked at Huo Mingshen's back and shouted helplessly.

"Go on down, I know what I'm doing." Huo Mingshen had his back facing them and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Seeing that Huo Mingshen was determined, Yu Yun could only sigh helplessly. Then, he walked out of the study room, leaving the space to Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingshen.

"Is that you?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen's back, her voice trembling with difficulty as she asked. Her throat felt blocked by something, making it difficult for her to breathe, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

After a long while, Huo Mingshen slowly turned around and looked at Soong Shiyan.

"Vanilla, it's me." There was a trace of guilt and regret in his tone, and his eyes were filled with deep emotion. He wanted to walk over to Soong Shiyan and grab her hand as he had done before. He took a few steps, but finally stopped — now that she knew he had deceived her, perhaps she would not forgive him!

Looking at that familiar face, the face that made her feel guilty and yearning all the time, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but cry. How many times had she dreamed about their lives on Gaoshun Island? They had gone to the beach to pick up shells and watch the sunrise together. At that time, there was no hatred in her heart.

Often, in the middle of a beautiful dream, she would dream of his "death". He lay quietly under the white cloth in the cold mortuary, his face completely unrecognizable. As for her, she could only stare helplessly at his corpse.

Sometimes, she would even dream of his death, even if she hadn't seen him die. His face was covered in blood, and he was no longer recognizable. He was trapped inside the deformed car. The glass in the window had long since been shattered into pieces. His body was like a spring, unceasingly spurting out blood. In the car window, he kept saying to her, "The coriander, I'm in pain, I'm in pain …"

Soong Shiyan would wake up from her dreams every time. Looking at the night outside the window, she felt endless self-blame and regret — At that time, if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have returned to a place he didn't like, and wouldn't have become a thorn in the eyes of Huo Chenglieh and the others again. She was the culprit behind his death!

After such a long time, she finally began to accept the fact that he had passed away. But now, he appeared in front of her again — he had been around her for a long time, and had even harmed Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu.

Looking at Huo Mingshen, Soong Shiyan finally understood what the old man had said when she left the Huo Family just now. That matter was the matter of Huo Mingshen faking his death, not the old man's idea-- So, this was Huo Mingshen's meaning? In other words, he had already returned to normal before Huo Mingshen left for England. Even going to England was his intention?

Soong Shiyan started to probe deeper and suddenly felt like a fool being played around by Huo Mingshen. She looked at Huo Mingshen with a sneer and said coldly, "At that time, weren't you already back to normal — going to England was your idea. Faking your own death was also your intention? "Huo Mingshen, you're really amazing. You messed around with me." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and clenched her fist. With great difficulty, she managed to keep herself from shouting hysterically as she spoke with a calm and cold tone.

"Scented Vegetables, I …" Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan and said hesitantly as he pursed his lips.

"Don't call me coriander, you're not my mushroom anymore! I am Jing Sung — and you are Huo Mingshen. " Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and interrupted him coldly as she spoke heartlessly.

"It was my fault, Xiang Cai. Back then, I shouldn't have hidden it from you …." Huo Mingshen walked to Soong Shiyan's side, reached out his hand to pull her sleeve, lowered his head and explained carefully.

Looking at Huo Mingshen's expression, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but think back to when they were still in Gaoshun Island. Every time he pissed her off, he did what he did now, pulling at her sleeve and apologizing humbly. Every time she saw his pitiful appearance, the anger in Soong Shiyan's heart would instantly dissipate.

"Huo Mingshen, do you think that I will be like how I was in the past, easily forgiving you just because you were a terrible seller?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and said expressionlessly.

"Caraway..." Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan and shouted weakly.

She looked at Huo Mingshen, and said indifferently: "Huo Mingshen, from now on, I don't want to have anything to do with Huo Family, and even more so, I don't want a shred of a relationship to you — from today onwards, you better not appear in front of me again!"

Soong Shiyan waved away Huo Mingshen's hand and turned around, intending to leave.

"Caraway, don't go. Listen to my explanation..." Huo Mingshen walked up to Soong Shiyan, grabbed her arm and pleaded.
