Luo Tao went out that day for no other reason than that Qin Yuan suddenly called to say that someone had discovered his whereabouts and asked him to make a quick trip to his jade shop.

It was surely not a small matter, especially since Qin Yuan used a very urgent tone to ask him to rush over.

If he was really exposed, not only would forces have to be redeployed to Jing City, but foreign countries would also need to send more people over.

However, when Luo Tao arrived, he saw Qin Yuan leisurely sipping tea in his office.

“Exposed? ” Luo Tao raised his eyebrows. As soon as he saw Qin Yuan’s expression, he knew that he might have been played by Qin Yuan.

“How free you are, ” Luo Tao said lightly.

Qin Yuan saw that Luo Tao’s expression was not friendly and quickly shook his head.

“No, I’m serious. Your whereabouts have been discovered by a person in Jing City. ”

“Who? ”

“It’s… ” Qin Yuan suddenly raised his voice.

Luo Tao was still waiting for the next part.

However, in the next second, Luo Tao suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind. He dodged and used his arm to support his body. In an instant, he flipped over the couch and grabbed the person’s neck.

“Who are you? ” Luo Tao looked at the back of the person who was somewhat familiar.

“Brother, my dear brother, you should be gentler! ” the person who was pressed against the back of the couch by Luo Tao let out a blood-curdling scream.

“Huo Yu? Why are you here? ”

Luo Tao quickly released his grip and helped Huo Yu up.

Huo Yu, his younger sister, was adopted by the Huo family when she was young. He once heard that when she was adopted, a geomancy master said that the Huo family’s yang energy was too strong and needed the balance of yin energy, leading to her adoption. Huo Yu was also the only warmth he felt in the Huo family other than his grandfather.

What made him unhappy was that his grandfather’s hard-core education had turned a good girl into a tomboy. She had learned mixed martial arts early and was sent abroad to study after graduating from university. As a result, he had not seen her for nearly two years.

“I heard that you let gave up the succession rights to the Huo family, so I rushed back! ”

“Mhm. ” Luo Tao lowered his eyes. Huo Yu must have gotten permission from the old man to come back. It seemed that the old man wanted him to go back and reclaim his power as soon as possible?

Seeing that Luo Tao had no reaction, Huo Yu was a little anxious.

“How can you give up your rights as the heir to the Huo family? Those uncles and cousins are all thinking of destroying you! ”

Luo Tao tapped the couch with his fingertips and laughed. “I don’t have anything in my hands now. What do they want to destroy me for? ”

“That’s hard to say. ” Huo Yu supported herself on the back of the couch and jumped up.

She sat beside Luo Tao and took the teacup that he had never used before, then poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.

“Those bastards have long treated you as a thorn in their flesh. It’s just that they haven’t found out that you’re in City C yet, so they haven’t made a move. Now that your authority is gone, it would be even more dangerous if they found out, ” Huo Yu said worriedly.

“They didn’t realize that I was in City C, but how did you find out? ” Luo Tao asked.

Huo Yu smiled mysteriously and said, “I have my own ways. I’m but you, Huo Zhen’s sister. How can I live such a carefree life without any capabilities? ”

Then, Huo Yu seemed to have thought of something. She frowned and asked, “Huo Zhen, did you hide here to deliberately give up the rights to succeed the family? ”

Huo Yu was too worried about Huo Zhen. As the saying went, concern led to irrationality. When Huo Yu was looking for Huo Zhen, she did not think too much about it. Now that she saw that Huo Zhen was safe, she noticed that something was amiss.

Huo Zhen nodded and glanced at Huo Yu. “Have your whereabouts been exposed? ”

Huo Yu said seriously, “Of course not! Because you gave up the rights to succeed the family, those family members became afraid that Grandpa would appoint me as the next successor out of favor for our father. They attacked me twice abroad. Only when I found out and asked Grandpa did I know that so much had happened at home. I sneaked back to the country. ”

Luo Tao really did not expect that his plan would involve Huo Yu. He originally thought that since Huo Yu had never come into contact with the family business overseas, they would not care about Huo Yu. He did not expect those people to really have no bottom line.

“Do you know who attacked you? ”

Huo Yu shook her head. “I once caught a person, but that person was shot before he could be interrogated. ”

Luo Tao frowned. “Then go back to the country. Grandpa can take care of you. I will ask Wen Ze to send more people to ensure your and Grandpa’s safety. ”
