444 Father and Son Relationship
“Rosa, I know you have hatred in your heart, but your hatred shouldn’t have evolved into revenge on society. After all, the person who hurt you was Mrs. Lu. If the evidence of her abandoning you is conclusive, the law can pursue her abandonment. At present, the people you hurt are innocent citizens whom your sister and brother-in-law protected with their lives.”
With that, Qiao An left without looking back.
Rosa stood rooted to the ground, not reacting for a moment.
Old Master Xiao walked in. Seeing Rosa’s lowered head, he suddenly felt that Qiao An’s gentleness was indeed effective.
“Rosa, Qiao An has left,” he said.
Rosa suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Old Master Xiao in a daze. Suddenly, she begged softly, “I want to see Zhu Yuanyuan.”
Zhu Yuanyuan was her mother.
Old Master Xiao was very surprised, but he still nodded solemnly and agreed. “I’ll help you arrange it.”
Only then did Rosa get up and follow the staff with her head lowered. She left dejectedly.
When Old Master Xiao told Qiao An that Rosa wanted to see Mrs. Lu alone, Qiao An’s expression turned serious.
Old Master Xiao asked her, “Qiao An, is there a problem?”
Qiao An said, “We have to work hard to resolve the hatred in Rosa’s heart. Only then can she completely wake up and even turn over a new leaf. But Mrs. Lu might not be able to admit her mistake openly. If she can’t sincerely repent, I’m afraid Rosa’s heart, which had finally softened, will be sealed again.”
Old Master Xiao nodded repeatedly. “You’re right. I have to think about this at length.”
Qiao An was a little tired when she returned from prison. She sat on the sofa and massaged her temples.
Huo Xiaoran walked in from outside with an envelope in his hand. It contained a thick stack of photos. Seeing Qiao An’s exhausted appearance, Huo Xiaoran quickened his pace.
He walked up to her and dropped the envelope on the coffee table. The photos slid out.
“An’an, Hubby will massage you.” He massaged her gently, and Qiao An revealed a satisfied expression.
However, when her gaze swept across the photos and she saw the young, beautiful, and smiling girls, Qiao An’s smile disappeared.
“What is this?” She picked up the photos and looked at them one by one.
They were all young and beautiful girls.
Huo Xiaoran hurriedly explained, “These are profiles of single women collected for Zhou Zhou.”
“Where do you know so many single women of age?”
Huo Xiaoran sensed the interrogation in Qiao An’s eyes and immediately felt that something was wrong. He quickly sat up straight and explained, “Honey, I don’t know any of them. These are girls I asked my secretary to find at the engagement company. You know that Grandma handed Zhou Zhou’s marriage to me, so I can’t ignore it. You don’t know, ever since Zhou Zhou found out that Sister Qianqian sacrificed herself, he has been depressed all day and hasn’t gone to the company to work for many days.”
“Is that so?” Qiao An didn’t expect Huo Zhou to be so affected.
After roughly flipping through the photos, she said to Huo Xiaoran, “Hubby, the profiles of the girls in this engagement company will be exaggerated. Huo Zhou is your closest brother. You have to find him a girl who knows him well.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled. “I didn’t expect these girls to catch his eye. I just wanted them to pester him so that Huo Zhou would be overwhelmed and forget his troubles.”
Qiao An smiled. “So that’s what you’re thinking.”
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Every night, the moon in the sky would become more and more perfect.
Ninth Master Lu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but he could not fall asleep. This state was not a good thing for someone like him who lived in a hail of bullets.
He needed to rest too much. Only when he rested well could he conserve his energy to do what he had to do.
Unable to fall asleep, he sat up in frustration and lit a cigarette in the night. When the sparks burned, the light shone on his handsome face. His hawk eyes were sharper than a night eagle’s, but they were filled with sadness and worry that he had never felt before.
He knew that he was no longer the Falcon who could act alone and do things without any worries.
Unable to sleep, he turned on his phone. He wanted to search for his son, Huo Xiaoran, on Baidu, but at the last moment, he resisted.
Although he was a very high-ranking person in the gang, the boss, Nighthawk, was very guarded against the people around him. It would not be good if he knew that he had a son.
He threw the phone in the drawer and lay on the bed with his hands behind his head. He replayed Qiao An’s words in his mind. When she mentioned Xinping, he felt guilty. When she described Xiaoran, he felt relieved.
In the night, his deep eyes flickered with tears.
At this moment, in the next room, someone gently slipped into Boss Nighthawk’s room.
“Boss.”
Nighthawk turned on the bed lamp. He was sitting on the bed, fully dressed, and holding an elite revolver. Seeing that it was one of his own, he lowered it.
“Did you get any information about Falcon?”
That person glanced warily at the door. After confirming that there was no one, he walked up to Boss and lowered his voice. “There’s no news. But we’ve finally met with Rosa. Rosa sent a credible message. She said that she saw a man who looks exactly like Ninth Master. She suspects that he’s Ninth Master’s son.”
The man frowned. “Why didn’t I know he has a son?”
“Go and call him over. I want to interrogate him personally.”
“Yes.”
Soon, there was a knock on the door in the next room.
Falcon’s heart tightened. He took off his coat, walked to the door with sleepy eyes, and pulled it open. He said impatiently, “Who is it? Are you going to let me sleep?”
“Ninth Brother, Big Brother wants you to go over.”
He glanced at Boss’s room and slowly walked over.
“Brother, are you looking for me?” After entering, he sat lazily on the sofa opposite the bed.
Nighthawk stared at him, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s.
“Ninth Brother, look at this.” He handed the note to the man.
The man took it and saw the note. “Huo Xiaoran, the CEO of the Huo Corporation, looks exactly like Ninth Master.”
Nighthawk looked at the man. “How do you explain that?”
Ninth Master Lu sank into the sofa and raised his head, his eyes shining.
“Brother, he might really be my son, but I’m not sure.”
“Why not?”
“When I was in college, I liked a girl. After I moved in with her, I ran away irresponsibly. I haven’t seen her again in my life. I think she could have been pregnant when I left her.”
“So what are you going to do?”
