Huo Suicheng had entered the police station at eleven in the morning and left around five in the evening.

Considering the fact that the anonymous reporter had certain evidence in his hand, the Municipal Public Security Bureau had paid great attention to the case and routinely asked Huo Suicheng many questions related to the matter.

And the so-called evidence that Jiang Zhi had said on the phone, was an anonymous person, a “client” named Qian Dachuan, who reported that Huo Suicheng wanted to destroy the ancient tomb..

Qian Dachuan, who had received illegal fees and benefits, said that it was Huo Suicheng who made him do it.

According to Qian Dachuan’s testimony, the police did find a tunnel in Luming Mountain which led directly to the ancient tomb.

On account of the Huo family’s connections , heritage that had been accumulated over the years and the fact that  there was no direct evidence stating that Qian Dachuan destroyed the tomb instigated by Huo Suicheng, the police had to release him and send  him after questioning at five o’clock in the evening.

On the way back to Huo Mansion, Huo Suicheng asked Xiao Wu to pull the car to the side of the road and asked him to get out of the car so he could make a phone call to his family.

Huo Suicheng sat inside the car alone.

In more than 30 years of his life, this was not the first day Huo Suicheng had to deal with the police. But it was the first time he had entered the police station as a suspect.

The police keep the identity of the anonymous reporter strictly confidential. Huo Suicheng admitted to himself that his recent style was much better than before and had not thought that anyone would spend so much effort on him.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

After much deliberation, he inexplicably thought of Wen Yang who he had met once that day.

It was just that he and Wen Yang have only met once, so there was no grievance between them at all.

However, intuition told Huo Suicheng that this was not impossible.

Xiao Wu stood outside the car and quietly lit a cigarette.

The weather was starting to get colder.   The cold wind swept over one or two yellow leaves that swirled and fell on his shoulders.

He breathed out a puff of smoke, shivered with his arms folded, and the fallen leaf also shuddered.

It was seven o’clock in the evening when they returned to the Huo Mansion.

Huo Xiaoxiao accompanied Old Master Huo and waited all afternoon until the sound of the engine came from outside the Huo Mansion. She even forgot to put down the spoon in her hand and immediately asked Aunt Zhao to lift her from her position.

“Daddy! Is Daddy back? Huo Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

Huo Xiaoxiao went out and was delighted to see Huo Suicheng striding in.

“Daddy!”

Huo Suicheng looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, who was excitedly running towards him, with a spoon in her hand, bowed and picked her up. After Xiaoxiao hugged his neck tightly, her soft face rubbed against him. On his cheeks, there seemed to be a warm current flowing from the bottom of his heart.

Old Master Huo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huo Suicheng but said nothing. He held his cane and looked at him shakingly, “Back?”

“Yes, I came back.”

“Great, let’s eat first.”

Huo Xiaoxiao hugged her father’s neck, and whispered softly, “Daddy, don’t look at Grandpa like that, he was so worried about you this afternoon. He kept calling and calling other people- Fortunately you are back-oh, of course, I was worried about you too.”

“Daddy, I believe you. Grandpa and I both believe that  you didn’t do anything bad. You’ll be fine.”

“Good, Dad knows.”

In just one afternoon, everyone in the family knew about this. Aunt Zhao, Uncle Chen and others were all worried until now.  Seeing Huo Suicheng come back, they were relieved.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

At the dinner table, Huo Suicheng didn’t mention the matter, old Master Huo didn’t ask about it either, and they acted as if nothing happened.

After eating, Huo Xiaoxiao wanted to stay there and listen to her father talk about it, but she was denied to go to his study.

She didn’t give up though. She clung to the door to listen to the movement inside. She didn’t hear a word even when her ears were pricked up sharply.

When she was thinking of knocking on the door, Aunt Zhao came over.

“Xiaoxiao, what time is this? Why are you still not in bed?”
