Chapter 372 Huo Haojie's Skills
At the same time, on a mountain outside the western suburbs of the capital, a middle-aged man holding a letter in his hand knocked on a stone wall in a regular rhythm: one long, two short, and three rapid knocks.
After knocking, the middle-aged man stepped aside and waited for about half a minute. Then he saw the stone wall open from the middle in a rotating manner.
"What's the matter?" The person who opened the door was also a middle-aged man, but unlike the person standing outside, he had a long scar on his face from his left eyebrow to his right jaw. Coupled with the ferocious look of the middle-aged man, children would be scared to tears immediately when they saw him.
"Please, Manager He, give this letter to our patriarch." When the man saw the man, he respectfully handed over the envelope in his hand.
"I got it." The man called Manager He took the envelope from the man, left a word, and walked in. The moment he entered, the stone door closed again.
Seeing the door closed, the man still waited outside. The old man had already written about the family matters in a letter. Before he went out, the old man told him that he must wait until the old man replied before he could return.
After Manager He entered the room, he took the letter and walked to a rest area outside the laboratory, where he saw several elderly people sitting there, staring through the transparent glass at the people doing experiments inside.
"Master, this is the letter that your family just sent." After handing the letter to an old man, he retreated behind them and, like the others before him, stared at the people inside without blinking.
The old man took the letter and opened it to read. However, the more he read, the angrier he became. Finally, he slammed the letter on the tea stool beside him. "This is outrageous. The Ruan family doesn't take us seriously at all. Those idiots from the Song family are still trying to stop us at this critical moment. They deserve to be locked up."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing how angry he was, the others stopped staring inside. The old lady sitting next to him took the letter he had placed on the tea stool and started reading it.
In just two minutes of reading the letter, the old lady's expression changed from angry, to furious, and then to calm. "It seems that we have to go back first." After saying this, she handed the letter in her hand to the two people next to her.
After they finished reading the letter, there was reluctance written on everyone's face. The results of the experiment here were about to come out. If they were asked to leave at this time, everyone would feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit. But if they didn't go back, the family would probably be in chaos.
"Well, let's go. There's no time to lose. Go back and take care of the things at home first, and then come over. Let Xiao He take care of things here first." The old man has spoken, and this is all we can do.
"I never thought that Ruan Ruan would cause panic in the capital city after only being back for a few days." The two old ladies supported each other and walked out together.
"If I had known that things would turn out like this because of her, I should not have been so soft-hearted." The old lady walked in front and spoke such vicious words to the people around her in a very calm manner.
"Yeah, who would have thought?"
After they came out, the people waiting outside took them to the car.
In the evening, Huo Haojie saw from afar that the Zhao family's car stopped, and an old man and an old woman got out of the car. Then the old woman turned around and said something to the people in the car before going into the house.
After the car drove away, Huo Haojie glanced at the closed door and walked in the direction the car left.
When Huo Haojie came back, Wang Qun had already prepared dinner for him.
"You're back. You must be hungry. Let's eat." Seeing him come back, Wang Qun and Huo Haocheng went to the kitchen and brought all the dishes to the table.
"Next time I come back late, you don't have to wait for me. You can eat and sleep first and don't worry about me." Seeing that the whole family was waiting for him, Huo Haojie felt warm in his heart, but he said to them not to wait.
This time, Ruanruan asked him to come to help them do something that was inconvenient for them, so sometimes he would come back very late, or not come back at all, and it was not a good thing to keep them waiting.
"Okay, let's eat first." After the meal was ready, Wang Qun also told them to eat first and not to wait. However, Ruan Ruan felt that Huo Haojie had just arrived today and went out to help her with things. Moreover, he was not very familiar with the capital now. Even if he went out, he would not go far, so it was reasonable for her to wait.
After walking for a whole day, Huo Haojie was really hungry. He ate two mouthfuls of food quickly before telling them what happened today. "Before I came back just now, I went to the Zhao and Song families. In the evening, I saw the old men and women from their two families coming back from outside. I asked people and found out that they went out two days ago and just came back today. Moreover, the old lady from the Zhao family said after getting off the car that I would go to their house tomorrow to discuss countermeasures with them."
That’s right, in addition to his excellent martial arts, Huo Haojie also has a skill, which is lip reading. He can read what the other person said by seeing what they said.
This is also the reason why Ruanruan asked him to come.
"Hmph, that's what I was thinking. Things have been going on for the past two days, but why haven't the heads of the two families come out to take charge? Turns out they were away. It seems they heard the news and rushed back today." The previous investigation of the Zhao and Song families showed that these old men and women were not good people. Now that they are back, it depends on how they are going to deal with me.
"Since they are back, I have to go back first. Ruanruan, you and the children should be careful about your safety. If there is anything, don't act on your own. Discuss with Haojie. If there is anything that needs to be done, just let him do it."
The reason Huo Haocheng came back this time was to send Ruanruan and her son back to the capital to live for a while. At present, he is still in the Yuncheng Military Region, so now the time has come for him to go back.
"Okay, then when are you planning to come back?" After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, Ruanruan understood that he was going to go to a dark place.
"Let's do it tomorrow. I can go to the military headquarters and talk to my father-in-law tomorrow morning, and then let Shaohong take me directly to the train station." Not only does he have to leave tomorrow, but he also has to leave when there are many people around. He wants everyone to know that he is getting on the bus back to Yuncheng.
Of course, he will also get off the train before it starts. As for how he gets off the train, it depends on Huo Haocheng's own skills.
"Okay, we won't see you off tomorrow." Ruanruan felt that there was nothing good to see him off. The man would just go to the train station and come back in the evening.
"When you come back, don't go in through the main door. Take the key to the side door with you and go through the side door when you come back. And remember, don't climb over the wall."
"Don't worry, I know. It's just that I'll be busy later on and won't be able to come back every day." Huo Haocheng felt reluctant when he thought that he might not see his wife most of the time in the future.
"It's okay, just think of it as a mission." Facing Huo Haocheng's sudden aggrieved expression, Ruan Ruan said softly that she didn't feel anything and couldn't see it.
After dinner, Wang Qun and Huo Haojie fell asleep on the bed, as they were both tired after a whole day.
Huo Haocheng returned to the room and carried the two sleeping children to their cribs. To prevent accidents, he also covered the guardrails of their cribs with a small blanket to prevent them from waking up suddenly and seeing something they shouldn't see.
"You are really..." Seeing his actions, Ruanruan really felt that she couldn't find an adjective.
"Hey, wife, it's getting late, let's go to bed early..." The word "sleep" here is a verb.
Seeing that he would be busy, Ruanruan stayed with him for most of the night and only fell asleep when the sky was getting light.
Huo Haocheng didn't even know when he left so softly, he didn't feel anything at all.
When she woke up, the two children had already been taken out by their mother to play in the yard.
Hearing the noises of the children outside, she looked at the ceiling of the bed in silence. She hadn't felt the feeling of being crushed for a long time.
She raised her weak hand and hammered it hard on the bed a few times. Of course, there was no sound. She murmured, "Huo Haocheng, I'm soft on you, so I'll take your last name!!!"
After resting enough in bed, Ruanruan slowly got up, put on her clothes, opened the door and came out.
