Chapter 147: The Huo Family’s Mansion
Huo Xuan placed a hand on the table and pondered for a moment. He then looked at Xu Huan coldly and said, “Send a message to the Dark Department. Tell them to transfer everyone who hasn’t taken on any missions to Beijing by Monday.”
Xu Huan was shocked when he heard this. He could not be bothered to swallow the rice in his mouth. He quickly asked, “All of them? What do we do with Southeast Asia if they are all transferred to Beijing? Bureau X’s situation is not too stable now. In addition, the encirclement of Black Tiger this morning had failed. If the secret department is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Huo Xuan’s hands didn’t stop moving. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “Let them put aside the things they have on hand for the time being and settle this thorny situation in Beijing first.”
Seeing Huo Xuan’s firm attitude, although Xu Huan was a little worried about his arrangements, he still chose to believe in the man. He pursed his lips and replied, “Alright then, I’ll make the arrangements later. I’ll tell them to gather in Beijing and be on standby at any time.”
He looked up and turned his gaze to the door of a room on the second floor. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled gently. “Let’s go to Beijing tomorrow and ask Mo Wu to prepare three tickets.”
“Three tickets?” Xu Huan did not understand what the man meant. He glanced at Huo Xuan and asked, “Why would you buy three tickets? If you want to accompany Little Bamboo, why did you ask Mo Wu to be the third wheel?”
Huo Xuan sneered angrily and stared at Xu Huan as if he was looking at an idiot. “The other ticket is for you.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Xu Huan’s hand that was about to drink the soup suddenly paused. He looked at the man with a resentful expression and said pitifully, “No way, Brother Huo. That second uncle of yours from Beijing is not easy to deal with. Did you bring me there to use me to distract him?”
Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally and lowered his head, not continuing the conversation.
The next morning.
At dawn, Mo Zhu packed up her backpack and prepared to leave for Beijing. She was just about to inform Huo Xuan after breakfast when she saw Xu Huan standing at the entrance, greeting her with a smile.
“Little Bamboo, you’re up so early. Did you sleep well last night?”
Seeing Xu Huan appear at the Huo residence so early, Mo Zhu looked up in confusion and asked, “Why are you here so early today? Do you have any important documents for Huo Xuan to sign?”
Xu Huan was not angry when he heard Mo Zhu’s irrelevant answer. He went straight to the dining room and pulled out a chair skillfully before sitting down at the table and waited for breakfast. “Nothing much, I just wanted to have breakfast.”
At this moment, Huo Xuan also walked down slowly from upstairs. He ladled the food that the chef had sent over earlier into a bowl and placed it on the table. He looked at Mo Zhu and smiled. “Hurry up and eat. Let’s set off to Beijing together later. I’ve already instructed Mo Wu to buy the tickets.”
Mo Zhu looked up and glanced at Huo Xuan in surprise. “You guys are going to Beijing too?”
“Yes, it just so happens that I have something on in Beijing that I need to make a trip there personally.” Huo Xuan’s voice was soft. When he was facing Mo Zhu, the coldness on his body was deliberately restrained.
Mo Zhu nodded lightly when she heard this and obediently ate her breakfast.
Not long later, the three of them were done eating. After Uncle Zhang stopped the car at the entrance, they carried their backpacks and got into the car.
Six hours later, the Xu family’s driver drove Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu to the Huo family’s mansion.
Knowing that the Huo Family in Beijing had deep connections, Xu Huan found a reason to leave as soon as he got off the plane. Before he left, he specially asked his chauffeur to send them back to the Huo Family’s mansion.
The Huo family’s mansion was rather old and was located in the most famous and wealthy district in Beijing. The courtyard and outside the mansion were decorated like the palace, and even any single strand of grass picked from the garden was worth a lot.
Huo Xuan opened the car door for Mo Zhu habitually and held her hand as they walked into the courtyard.
“We can’t hide the fact that we’re coming to Beijing this time. We have to show our faces at the Huo residence first. No matter what happens after we enter, you can’t take action rashly. It is especially important not to let the others in the Huo family find out that you know medicine.” Huo Xuan pinched his glabella and instructed Mo Zhu worriedly.
The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled teasingly. “Why? Is there a big tiger in the Huo family who can eat me up?”
Huo Xuan gently rubbed the top of Mo Zhu’s head, and his expression turned grave. “The Huo family’s mansion is in chaos. I’m not joking with you. In short, you have to protect yourself. No matter what happens, you can’t reveal your medical skills.”
He paused for a second and added, “Even if something happens to me, you can’t do anything. I’ve instructed Mo Jiu to rush over. Just push it him if anything happens!”
Mo Zhu nodded. She understood that Huo Xuan was really worried about her. She instantly put on a serious expression. “Alright, I understand.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the mansion. Huo Xuan held Mo Zhu’s hand tightly and slowly pressed the doorbell.
Not long later, a middle-aged woman jogged over and opened the door. When she saw that the person who came was Huo Xuan, a smile immediately appeared on her face. “So it’s Young Master. Come in quickly, come in quickly. After receiving the news that you were coming back yesterday, everyone is waiting in the house!”
