Thinking of the past when he severed ties with the Huo family, Huo Cheng couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He wondered whose plot this was, trying to frame him again.
This time, the scheme was more sophisticated. The mastermind knew to be more covert, leaving fewer loopholes. But Huo Cheng guessed that it was either his eldest sister or second brother, or perhaps they were in cahoots.
"Just based on this, Father suspects me. Surveillance footage can be erased, and faces can be disguised. Does Father really think that if it were me, I'd let the surveillance camera capture my face?"
These words made Father Huo fall into deep thought. What Huo Cheng said made sense. After all, Father Huo had always thought highly of his son since childhood, and he knew well what kind of capabilities Huo Cheng had.
Indeed, if it were really Huo Cheng, he would never let the surveillance camera catch his face. In fact, Father Huo might not even be able to recover this surveillance footage.
"Huo Cheng, does it make any sense to say these things now? The surveillance footage clearly shows it. How can you still deny it?" Second Brother Huo couldn't sit still any longer.
"Shut up! Is this the time for you to speak?" Father Huo snapped.
"Clearly it was him. He even failed the assassination mission last time, yet he boasted so much about his abilities." Second Brother Huo still mumbled.
"If Second Brother doesn't believe me, then so be it. I have no way to prove my innocence," Huo Cheng suddenly found it rather ridiculous.
"What are you talking about, Fourth Brother? It's as if we're forcing you to admit it. The surveillance footage is crystal - clear," Eldest Sister Huo added fuel to the fire.
"All of you, shut up! Who do you think the Huo family is?"
"Someone, detain Huo Cheng in his room. The others are temporarily free, but none of you are allowed to leave the Huo mansion."
Mother Huo, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and made a decisive decision. Father Huo and the others didn't dare to say anything more.
Secretly, Eldest Sister Huo dug her nails deep into her flesh. She thought that Mother still favored her son and was biased towards Fourth Brother. Mother was probably afraid that Father would lock Fourth Brother in the Huo family's dungeon. Thinking of the days she had spent in Huo Cheng's dungeon, Eldest Sister Huo felt quite indignant.
At this thought, she couldn't help but glare hatefully at her second brother. It was all this stupid guy's idea.
Second Brother Huo lowered his head secretly, hating Huo Cheng even more in his heart.
The group came and left quickly. Soon, Huo Cheng was alone in his room.
Perhaps it was Mother Huo's deliberate indulgence, but Huo Cheng's phone wasn't confiscated.
"Go and investigate... as soon as possible. I want the results within a day."
"No need. You don't need to do anything else. Just find out the truth."
Huo Cheng hung up the phone, with a terrifying smile on his face.
Those who had been targeted by Huo Cheng would not end up well.
Huo Cheng had been gone for two days. In these two days, Gu Sisi had gotten along very well with Gu Chenfei. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, they had a lot to talk about.
"How did you and Huo Cheng come up with that idea at that time?" Gu Sisi held a cup of coffee and asked curiously.
"It was originally a long - term plan. Now, I don't know if it can be realized."
"Tell me," Gu Sisi persisted. She was really curious about what kind of plan Gu Chenfei and Huo Cheng had. What kind of cooperation and conditions could make Huo Cheng be so "obedient" to Gu Chenfei?
Now, thinking of the way Huo Cheng was used by Gu Chenfei to make her jealous at that time, Gu Sisi found it rather funny. That side of Huo Cheng was really rare.
Helplessly, in the face of Gu Sisi's persistent questioning, Gu Chenfei stroked Gu Sisi's head and continued:
"At that time, I thought that since the Huo family had determined that I would be Huo Cheng's marriage partner, I could step forward and claim the child. Nominally, the child would be raised by me. Then, I could find an excuse..."
"For example, I don't like children or I don't want to keep the child by my side. Then I could just hand the child over to Huo Cheng."
It turned out that the cooperation between Gu Chenfei and Huo Cheng at that time was to get the child back.
"But will this work?" Gu Sisi expressed deep doubt.
"It should work, but it might be a bit difficult to execute," Gu Chenfei thought for a while and gave a reasonable answer.
"Emmm, okay." This topic came to an end.
"Wh... what are you doing? Staring at me like that is really we... weird," Gu Chenfei noticed Gu Sisi's burning gaze from across and unconsciously took a few sips of water.
Probably not expecting that someone as cold as Gu Chenfei could be shy, Gu Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?!" Gu Chenfei grabbed Gu Sisi by the collar and lifted her up, "menacingly" questioning.
"Hahaha, let me laugh for a while. Hahaha, I won't tell you. You can't hit me anyway." Gu Sisi laughed defiantly.
In these two days, Gu Sisi had figured out Gu Chenfei's temper.
This woman seemed to be high - and - mighty, like a flower on a high mountain, very hard to approach.
But in fact, Gu Chenfei would never really be cruel. For example, just now, although Gu Chenfei seemed to be grabbing her collar fiercely, she didn't actually use much strength.
Gu Sisi dared to laugh so wantonly because she knew that Gu Chenfei wouldn't do anything to her.
However, Gu Sisi still found it very strange. She and Gu Chenfei were not related. The only connection might be that they both had the surname Gu.
Why did Gu Chenfei help her so much? Was it because she liked Huo Cheng and wanted to help him get his son back?
As soon as this thought came up, Gu Sisi shook her head to get rid of it.
No way!
Gu Chenfei liked Huo Cheng? Before getting along with Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi might have believed it, but after these two days, Gu Sisi thought these seven words were just a fantasy.
"Do you think I dare not hit you, Gu Sisi!" Gu Chenfei "threatened" menacingly.
"Yes, I just think you dare not hit me," Gu Sisi answered rather provocatively.
"Humph," Gu Chenfei held Gu Sisi's collar with one hand and made a fist with the other, pretending to punch Gu Sisi in the stomach.
"Ahaahaha, aahaha, stop! Hahaha, Gu Chenfei! You jerk, aahaha..."
Gu Sisi wriggled left and right, trying to escape Gu Chenfei's clutches. Who would have thought that this Gu Chenfei was so annoying. Instead of hitting her, she started tickling her.
Gu Chenfei let go of Gu Sisi's collar and stopped tickling her stomach. Gu Sisi naively thought it was all over.
After just one second, really just one second.
Gu Chenfei grabbed the top of Gu Sisi's head with the hand that had just been holding her collar, lifted her up above her head, and then continued to torment Gu Sisi.
"Aaaa~"
The whole house was filled with Gu Sisi's shrill screams.
