Lin Shanchu’s warning gaze didn’t make Huo Chaosheng angry.
Instead, his eyes lit up in excitement. The corners of his lips started to twitch, indicating he was about to speak.
But at this moment, a familiar voice emitted in front of them.
“Huo Chaosheng!”
It was a deep male voice resonating from someone with a sharp aura.
That voice was so pleasant and recognizable that Lin Shanchu didn’t even need to look to know who it was.
Huo Xunzhou rolled forward in his wheelchair. His indifferent expression concealing his emotions and his beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were usually inscrutable, now seemed deeper and more profound.
The moment Huo Chaosheng saw Huo Xunzhou, his relaxed expression disappeared and his eyes darkened.
The two of them were so obvious that Lin Shanchu knew she had guessed correctly.
Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were indeed related.
After a while, Huo Chaosheng seemed to have sorted out his emotions and called out with a smile, “Third Brother.”
Third Brother?
Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise.
She then realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her… no, more specifically, he was looking beside her at Yun Wu.
Huo Xunzhou only let his gaze linger on Yun Wu briefly before looking away.
“Come out,” he said, signaling for Li MO to leave.
Huo Chaosheng tilted his head in an interested manner as he looked at Lin Shanchu.
Speaking in a tone as if he was introducing a loved one to an old friend, he said to Lin Shanchu, “That’s my third brother. It’s been a long time since we last met, so he probably wants to catch up with me.”
“Is that so?” The expression Huo Xunzhou had didn’t seem like he wanted to catch up with Huo Chaosheng.
Without confirming nor denying it, Huo Chaosheng said, “I’m leaving now. I’ll come and play with you guys later.”
After Huo Chaosheng left, Yun Wu heaved a long sigh of relief.
Lin Shanchu saw this and did not ask further. He left the canteen with Yun Wu without saying a word.
As soon as Huo Chaosheng left, the trainees in the cafeteria who had deliberately taken their time to eat just to take a few more glances at Huo Chaosheng started leaving.
Before Yun Wu could even reach the training room, she was swarmed by a bunch of trainees asking her about herself and the members of SOF.
There were so many people to the point Lin Shanchu got squeezed out.
She stood at the side and gawked for a moment before heading to the balcony for some fresh air.
A cool breeze blew in the late summer evening.
The hot air dissipated and the curtain of night fell.
The street lamps on the sidewalk in front of the training camp gate gradually lit up.
Both lanes of the road were lined with cars that stretched out onto the entire street like a train.
Usually, there would be cars parked by the roadside, but there were never as many as today.
Lin Shanchu’s gaze trailed the row of cars and was met with a white car at the end of the line.
The street lights were dim, so she couldn’t see clearly. But, she vaguely noticed that there was blue paint on the car. That model with a white base and blue paint…
Wasn’t that a police car?
No wonder. It wasn’t that Huo Xunzhou failed to report the incident, instead, he coordinated with the police to handle the case discreetly so no one was alarmed.
Lin Shanchu chuckled.
Indeed, he was an upright and honorable character.
The production crew hoped for a low-profile police investigation, so naturally, they wouldn’t want the trainees to discover the police’s presence in the training camp.
Once the police arrived, they would have immediately gone to review the surveillance footage to find the suspect.
Speculating in this way, Huo Xunzhou must have left for the cafeteria earlier to help the police.
But right now, Huo Xunzhou was only calling for Huo Chaosong.
If they had checked the surveillance footage, the police would have definitely found out that she had gone to the director’s office along with Jiang Ziyu.
Why wasn’t he calling for her?
When Huo Xunzhou arrived at the cafeteria just now, he didn’t even spare her a glance.
Something was fishy about this.
After contemplating for a moment, Lin Shanchu turned around and headed in the direction of Nan Mu’s office.
When she went over, a group of people happened to come out of Nan Mu’s office.
“Feel free to contact us if needed. We will fully cooperate with the investigation…” Nan Mu spoke solemnly to the man in black beside him.
They were obviously undercover police officers.
The undercover policemen grabbed Huo Chaosheng’s arm and said, “We’ll take
Huo Chaosheng back to the station for now. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Huo Chaosheng’s hands were clasped in front of him and his wrists were wrapped in a black cloth.
He was probably handcuffed underneath.
When Huo Chaosheng was being taken away by the police, he casually looked back at Huo Xunzhou and talked to him as if it was no big deal, “Third brother, let’s grab a meal together when I come back.”
Huo Xunzhou looked at Huo Chaosheng silently with a dark expression.
After the police disappeared with Huo Chaosheng, Nan Mu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a regretful expression.
“Xunzhou, I really didn’t know that Huo Chaosheng was your notorious younger brother. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have invited him as a guest on the show.”
Huo Xunzhou seemed lost in thought and took several seconds before speaking.
He suddenly spoke about something that was completely unrelated to Huo Chaosheng.
“Investigate Jiang Ziyu.”
Nan Mu was expecting Huo Xunzhou to be angry, so he stood there stunned for a moment from his reaction before replying, “Alright, I’ll check it out immediately.”
Nan Mu walked back to his office.
Now, only Li MO and Huo Xunzhou were left.
“Big Brother, I know the surveillance footage shows that Huo Chaosheng was the only one who entered the director’s office before and after Jiang Ziyu’s incident, but… was he really the one who did this?”
“It doesn’t matter if he did it or not,” Huo Xunzhou’s voice grew deep.
Li MO seemed to have a realization and said angrily, “Yeah, no matter what he does, someone will always be there to clean up his mess.”
In this brief conversation between the two, a lot of information was conveyed.
The police did not see Lin Shanchu entering the director’s office in the surveillance footage with Jiang Ziyu.
Huo Chaosheng was not a person to be trifled with and he often acted arrogantly.
However, he had a strong background. No matter what he did, someone would help cover it up.
In other words, even if Huo Chaosong was taken away by the police, he would soon De released It tnere wasn’t any solid evidence.
No wonder Huo Chaosong seemed so relaxed when he was taken away.
He knew he would be fine.
“Who’s there?!”
Li MO suddenly shouted loudly in Lin Shanchu’s direction.
Lin Shanchu came back to her senses and realized that the corner of her shirt was sticking out.
She decided to show herself confidently.
“Miss Lin?” Li MO was shocked.
Huo Xunzhou also looked up at her, his expression unfazed.
“Miss Lin, when did you arrive?” Li MO looked a little nervous.
Lin Shanchu knew what he was nervous about.
“I heard everything you said just now.”
Hiding the truth would only raise suspicion towards him while admitting it would prove his honesty.
Li MO looked helpless as he turned to Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou finally spoke his first words to Lin Shanchu since his appearance.
“Do you need something?”
How was she supposed to respond?
Lin Shanchu was a bit dissatisfied with Huo Xunzhou’s opening line especially after not seeing him for over ten days.
As for why she was dissatisfied, she hadn’t really given it a thought.
Lin Shanchu walked up to Huo Xunzhou with light steps.
Her cat-like eyes fixed on him.
“Brother Xunzhou, do you think we’re in the kind of relationship where we must have a reason to meet?”
Her soft and gentle voice was like a vine that could wrap around one’s heart.
Li MO’s eyes widened.
Brother?
Are they siblings or a match made in heaven?
Had he missed out on some exciting news?
Since when did Miss Lin start calling Big Brother ‘Brother’?
Since she was calling him ‘brother’, was their following conversation something that he was allowed to hear?
