Chapter 110 Looking for the truth
Qiao Qin and Huo Yan turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes met at that moment, as if the air froze.
The classmate's eyes were full of anticipation, but he froze when he saw the mysterious gold-rimmed mask on Huo Yan's face. Then, a trace of embarrassment crept up on his face.
"I'm sorry, I... I think I recognized the wrong person. Your back looks so much like a senior I knew before." There was a hint of apology in his voice, as well as a hint of loss that was hard to conceal.
This was a common misunderstanding on campus, but Qiao Qin's heart was gently moved by these brief words.
"Do the backs look similar?"
She muttered to herself, her eyes involuntarily drifting towards Huo Yan beside her.
He stood tall and straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind. His familiar outline gradually became clearer in Qiao Qin's memory.
She looked at him secretly but very seriously, and her heart seemed to be filled with waves.
That tall figure and that unique temperament gradually overlapped with the figure of Huo Shiyan in her memory.
Father, like son!
Why didn't she realize before that Huo Yan and Huo Shiyan's figures were so similar?
The doubts in Qiao Qin's heart, like an undercurrent lurking beneath the deep sea, became more and more turbulent.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yan's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, like a breeze blowing across the lake, with a hint of concern that could not be ignored.
Qiao Qin raised her head and met his eyes, which were as deep as the night, filled with deep concern and confusion for her.
However, Qiao Qin's mood at the moment was a tangled mess.
She tried to force out a smile to cover up her inner panic: "I'm really fine, maybe I'm too tired, let's go back."
Two days later.
Qiao Qin followed Huo Yan back to China, although she still did not find Huo Shiyan and had no definite evidence to prove that they were the same person.
However, that deep suspicion was like a vine rooted in her heart, growing and spreading. She could not ignore that feeling, nor could she stop looking for the answer.
"Madam, you seem to be worried lately." Aunt Song's caring voice floated into Qiao Qin's ears like a spring breeze. "Are you feeling unwell? Or are these meals not to your taste?"
Qiao Qin sighed and shook her head gently: "Aunt Song, I'm really fine."
However, Aunt Song obviously didn't believe it and continued to comfort her softly, "Madam, you can hardly eat recently. How can you say you're fine in this state? And the young master is still young. If something happens to you, what will he do?"
Qiao Qin's heart trembled slightly, as if the softest part deep in her heart was touched.
She looked at the dishes on the table, took a deep breath, forced herself to pick up the chopsticks again, picked up a few pieces of food, but felt that they tasted like chewing wax.
Just then, a pleasant ringtone broke the dull atmosphere.
Qiao Qin picked up the phone and heard Lin Xingran's familiar and warm voice. The caring words flowed into her heart like a warm current, calming her mood a little.
"Xiao Qin, I heard from my brother that you are in a bad mood recently?"
"What happened? We were fine the last time we met."
A complex look flashed across Qiao Qin's eyes. She lowered her head slightly, and said in a heavy voice, "It's a long story. Let's meet and talk."
She has too many secrets and mysteries hidden in her heart, like a time bomb that could explode at any time. If she doesn't speak it out, she will suffocate to death sooner or later.
Time passed quietly at my fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
"What did you say?" Lin Xingran's voice was filled with astonishment. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, and her face was full of disbelief. "Do you suspect that my brother and that bastard Huo Shiyan are the same person?"
The Bo family had been expelled from the villa. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the empty space. It seemed as if the whole world had quieted down, with only the two people's breathing and heartbeats echoing.
Qiao Qin took a deep breath and told Lin Xingran all the doubts in her heart and the abnormalities she had observed during this period of time, as if they were all her treasures.
As she finished her words, she seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and a long-lost sense of relief surged in her heart.
"Just because of a seemingly identical amulet, you think my brother and Huo Shiyan are the same person?" Lin Xingran's voice was full of doubt.
Qiao Qin nodded gently, her eyes firm.
However, Lin Xingran shook her head decisively, her tone full of unquestionable certainty.
"That's absolutely impossible! The two of them are completely different in character, behavior, and other aspects. My brother is gentle and polite to others; while Huo Shiyan, that bastard, is so cold-blooded and ruthless to everyone."
She held Qiao Qin's wrist tightly, as if trying to bring her thoughts back to reality in this way.
"Think about it again, is there something wrong?" Lin Xingran's voice was full of concern and worry.
During the brief silence, Qiao Qin's frown gradually relaxed.
Xiao Ran's words flowed through her heart like a clear spring, causing her to reflect on whether she was too sensitive and therefore overthinking.
A moment of silence.
Lin Xingran looked at her and sighed softly, then stretched out her slender fingers and gently poked Qiao Qin's forehead, saying helplessly, "What a silly girl, if you are really worried, why don't you go directly to Huo Shiyan and ask him in person?"
Qiao Qin was slightly stunned by this poke, then shook her head, with a bit of bitterness in her voice: "But, I went to Country A and didn't find him at all."
Lin Xingran frowned slightly, but soon came up with an idea, with wisdom flashing in her eyes: "There are always more solutions than problems, and don't we have Assistant Yan? He must know the news about Huo Shiyan."
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Qiao Qin's eyes. After a brief exchange with Lin Xingran, she turned and left. Her finger gently slid across the screen of her mobile phone and dialed Assistant Yan's number.
"Dududu-"
However, there seemed to be endless silence on the other end of the phone, and no response came for a long time.
Qiao Qin frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. She no longer hesitated and drove directly to the Huo's Building.
The elevator door slowly opened, and she walked out of the elevator. A female employee in professional attire came towards her.
"Mrs. Huo, good afternoon." The female employee greeted with a smile, her tone full of respect, "Mr. Huo is currently in a meeting, so I'm sorry to disturb you. How about I take you to the lounge to have a cup of tea and take a short rest?"
There is an unwritten rule within the Huo Group - it is better to offend Mr. Huo than to offend Mr. Huo's wife.
however.
Qiao Qin shook her head slightly. Her voice was low and firm. "I'm not here to see Huo Yan. I'm here to see Assistant Yan. Where is he?"
Qiao Qin looked around, but the familiar workstation was empty, as if it had been gently blown by a breeze, leaving only silence.
At this moment, I heard the female employee's reply: "Assistant Yan, he recently asked for leave. Something seems to have happened at home."
Qiao Qin frowned slightly, and a trace of anxiety rose in her heart.
Why did something happen in Assistant Yan’s home at this time?
