“People like you are extremely selfish. You only want to live a carefree life, but you abandoned your family without any responsibility. If possible, I’d rather you die. At least that way, I can deceive myself and comfort myself that you abandoned Mom and me because you had no choice.” Huo Xiaoran angrily criticized Ninth Master Lu’s irresponsibility.
The smile on Ninth Master Lu’s face froze.
Qiao An looked at the indignant Huo Xiaoran and then at the calm Ninth Master Lu. She didn’t know how guilty Ninth Master Lu felt when he heard Xiaoran’s condemnation.
After all, he was not the irresponsible man Xiaoran had made him out to be.
“Xiaoran, it’s fine if you hate me, but I’m your biological father. I’m old now. You have to support me, right?” Ninth Master Lu played his rogue to the limit.
“Shameless.” Huo Xiaoran was so angry that he was almost speechless.
He questioned the secretary angrily, “What are you waiting for? Get someone to chase him out.”
The secretary looked troubled. “CEO, our bodyguards were beaten up by him.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Ninth Master Lu with a suspicious expression.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Ninth Master Lu.
“Then don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
Ninth Master Lu roared, “Sigh, how can a son hit me?” He really didn’t want to fight with Huo Xiaoran.
However, Huo Xiaoran’s fist landed fiercely and quickly. He could not dodge in time and took a few solid punches.
Qiao An was puzzled. The last time she saw Falcon fight, he was as fast as lightning. If he didn’t fight back now, it was probably because he wanted Xiao Ran to take it out on him.
As Huo Xiaoran’s punches and kicks became more and more ruthless and faster, Ninth Master Lu was forced to retaliate. “Huo Xiaoran, Dad just wants you to support me. You’re my son. It’s only right for you to support me. But you hit me. You, you…” He could not say the ruthless words.
Ninth Master Lu really did not expect Huo Xiaoran’s martial arts to be so powerful. His punches and kicks were simply too fast. Unfortunately, he might not have practiced often and did not have enough strength.
Since Huo Xiaoran forced him to leave, Ninth Master Lu hurriedly pulled his henchmen out.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll come back in a few days.”
He said to Huo Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, calm down. Dad will come and see you in a few days.”
After Ninth Master Lu left, Huo Xiaoran’s scarlet eyes slowly returned to normal.
Qiao An walked over and quickly patted his hand to comfort him. “Brother Xiaoran, he’s gone. It’s fine.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An as if he had something to ask her.
However, he sent the secretary away warily. “Go out first.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The secretary left.
After the secretary closed the office door, the frost on Huo Xiaoran’s face cracked bit by bit. His eagle eyes bloomed with great confusion.
“Brother Xiaoran, what’s wrong?” Qiao An asked.
Huo Xiaoran asked in confusion, “An’an, did he really hurt you when he kidnapped you?”
Qiao An nodded.
The black shadow in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes dissipated and he kicked the desk angrily.
“I shouldn’t have let him off so easily.”
But Qiao An took his hand and pressed him into an office chair. Then she poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. “Calm down first. I’ll tell you something else.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An in confusion.
He took the glass of water and took a perfunctory sip. Then he took Qiao An’s hand and asked anxiously, “What did you want to tell me?”
Qiao An said, “Did you discover something too?”
Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and told the truth. “He’s very skilled. Someone who can cultivate to his level has very tenacious willpower. This is a little inconsistent with his shameless character.”
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran excitedly. “Brother Xiaoran, you’re really smart.”
She swallowed. “I’ve been holding this in for a few days. I was wondering if I should tell you. I didn’t expect you to realize it yourself.”
Huo Xiaoran also knew that Qiao An had been feeling uneasy when she saw him recently. He didn’t expect it to be related to his father.
“An’an, what exactly do you know?”
Qiao An fell into a dilemma again. After a long time, she lowered her voice and told him solemnly, “Brother Xiaoran, your father might be a spy for the police.”
Huo Xiaoran stood up with a desolate expression.
Qiao An was completely stunned by him.
“I knew it. I shouldn’t have told you. How can you let him go when he’s like this?”
Huo Xiaoran seemed to have been struck by lightning. He was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. There was no reaction for a long time.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and felt indignant for his mother. “Does he think he’s very great? He let my mother down his entire life. He didn’t care about his child and didn’t do his duty at all. Why did he pretend to be dead and disappear for so many years?”
Qiao An said bitterly, “Brother Xiaoran, he has indeed let you and Mom down, but he did not let your wife and children down. He saved us from hell.”
The scale in Huo Xiaoran’s heart slowly tilted because of Qiao An’s words.
Qiao An said earnestly, “Brother Xiaoran, when I see you, I can imagine how outstanding he once was. Perhaps it’s because he was too dazzling that he was chosen as the first informant. He’s the one we’re looking for—Falcon.”
“I think that if he hadn’t accepted the mission at the last minute, he definitely wouldn’t have let Mom and you down. He took the risk alone and lived cautiously on the other side to develop the Lone Wolf Organization. With his status, even if he knew of your existence, he wouldn’t dare to see you.”
“He must have wanted to. But he gave up this kinship and turned himself into someone without any ties.”
Huo Xiaoran gradually calmed down.
He hugged Qiao An tightly. Qiao An’s warmth warmed his cold heart slightly.
“An’an, what should I do with him?”
Qiao An knew that Huo Xiaoran’s heart was in chaos.
She warned him solemnly, “Brother Xiaoran, regardless of whether you forgive him or not, the next time you see him, you can’t show any friendliness to him. You can only treat him as you would those heinous bastards. Look, the two people he brought today are actually monitoring him.”
Huo Xiaoran was reminded by Qiao An. “Yes, with his skills, why would he need a bodyguard when he came to me?”
“An’an, my heart is in a mess.”
Qiao An hugged him tightly and comforted him with tears in her eyes. “Brother Xiaoran, I know. This is a very big test for you.”
“I’m sorry, An’an. I probably can’t give you and the children a stable life anymore.”
He knew that Ninth Master Lu might not have come to look for him today to pester him.
In that case, their father-son relationship seemed to have been exposed. Someone had already targeted him.
