Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Xunzhou kicked open the door to the study and went straight to the desk to turn on the computer.

Li MO came over and realized that Huo Xunzhou was trying to locate something.

“Big Brother, what are you locating?”

“Huo Chaosheng’s phone.”

Huo Xunzhou did not look up as his hands kept typing on the computer.

Soon, the location became clear.

Li MO looked at it and said shockingly, “That location is… the Huo family’s old mansion? Huo Chaosheng has gone abroad, hasn’t he?”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression was gloomy, and his voice sounded like it was filled with crushed ice.

“Let’s go the Huo family’s old mansion!”

Huo Chaosheng had the audacity to lay a hand on Yun Wu back then, and now he dared to lay a hand on Lin Shanchu. He was definitely involved in this matter.

He had always been too kind to Huo Chaosheng.

Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have dared to act so recklessly.

By the time they arrived at the Huo family’s old mansion, the sky was already dark.

Huo Xunzhou heard the commotion inside as soon as he got out of the car. “Don’t call the ambulance. The master said not to call the ambulance!”

“What are you waiting for? Go and get the master’s private doctor!”

“Hurry up and pack up these things!”

“I’ve already called a doctor…”

The butler had a serious look on his face as he arranged tasks for the household servants. When he turned around, he saw Huo Xunzhou striding through the door.

“Young Master, what brings you here?”

“Where’s Huo Chaosheng?” Huo Xunzhou asked solemnly.

“Young Master, just now he…”

“Where did he go?”

“I don’t know.” The butler sighed heavily and continued, “Young Master, why don’t you go and take a look at the master? He…”

Huo Xunzhou could vaguely guess what had happened judging from the butler’s instructions to the servants.

However, he couldn’t care less about Huo Zhuxiu’s life or death right now. Huo Xunzhou called out Li Mo’s name as if he had not heard anything.

“I’ll get someone to find Huo Chaosheng’s whereabouts now.”

Li MO tacitly understood Huo Xunzhou’s intention and turned around to make a call.

“Why did Huo Chaosheng come back?” Huo Xunzhou asked the butler.

“He, I…” The butler stammered, unable to explain himself.

The butler had been working for the Huo family for decades. It was natural that he naturally knew some of the Huo family’s secrets. He was very loyal, so Huo Xunzhou did not pry anything out of him during his stay in the Huo family.

Huo Xunzhou did not make things difficult for the butler. Instead, he strode inside to look for Huo Zhuxiu.

After entering the foyer, Huo Xunzhou realized that it was a mess inside.

It was as if they had encountered bandits.

Huo Xunzhou went upstairs and saw blood at the door to Huo Zhuxiu’s study.

The blood trail started from the study and connected to Huo Zhuxiu’s bedroom.

Huo Zhuxiu was injured.

It did not take him long to realize that it was Huo Chaosheng’s doing.

Huo Chaosheng was unstable and had an unpredictable personality. It seemed that he had never treated Huo Zhuxiu as his biological father.

Huo Xunzhou was not surprised at all that he would do something so cruel to Huo Zhuxiu.

Huo Xunzhou was about to push the door open with his raised hand and enter the study, but then the door to Huo Zhuxiu’s bedroom suddenly opened. Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhuxiu’s hoarse and weak voice sounded.

“You’re not allowed to enter the study!”

Huo Xunzhou turned around and saw Huo Zhuxiu sitting in a wheelchair with a pale face. He was struggling to control the electric wheelchair to slowly move over.

Huo Zhuxiu was wearing loose black pajamas, and it was obvious that his chest was soaked in liquid.

As he got closer, Huo Xunzhou smelled blood.

Huo Xunzhou coldly curled his lip as Huo Zhuxiu wanted to stop him from entering the study without even bandaging his wound.

As expected, there was a secret hidden in this study.

He had been to this study a few times, but he had not found anything special.

However, Huo Zhuxiu had been keeping the study heavily guarded, so Huo Xunzhou felt that he must have missed out on something. He had originally planned to return to the house tonight to take a closer look at Huo Zhuxiu’s study.

Huo Xunzhou pushed open the study door without hesitation.

Huo Zhuxiu’s furious voice rang behind him.

“Unfilial son!”

Huo Xunzhou walked straight in as if he had not heard anything.

The study was in a mess. Porcelain fragments, various documents and books were scattered on the ground.

Other than being a little messy, the furnishings in the study did not look any different from before.

But soon, Huo Xunzhou noticed something unusual.

The bookshelf behind the desk seemed to be a little loose.

Behind him, his father, who had always been high and mighty, shouted at the top of his lungs, “Where have all these people gone? Get this unfilial son out…’

Huo Zhuxiu, who had lost too much blood, roared so hard that his wounds had torn open. Then, his vision went dark as he lost the strength to scream.

The doctor whom the butler had called for rushed over at this moment. “Hurry up and help Mr. Huo back to his room so that his wound can be treated.”

Struggling, Huo Zhuxiu shook off the servant’s hand and pointed at Huo Xunzhou with a trembling finger.

“Get him… out… Chase him out…”

Huo Xunzhou was standing in front of the bookshelf and checking if there was anything unusual. The servants looked at each other and none of them dared to go forward.

Huo Xunzhou had already taken over Huo Corporation. In addition, he had been acting recklessly during his stay in the Huo family’s old mansion, and even Huo Zhuxiu could not do anything about him. Therefore, everyone gradually knew that the owner of this house had changed.

Huo Xunzhou fumbled around the bookshelf for a while and found something that looked like a button under an ornament on one of the shelves.

He turned to look thoughtfully at Huo Zhuxiu.

Huo Zhuxiu’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and glared at him.

“Huo Xunzhou!”

It seemed that he had found the right place.

Huo Xunzhou slowly pressed the button.

Clang!

The dull sound of some heavy object opening and closing was heard.

“You…” Huo Zhuxiu finally fainted from anger.

The butler looked at Huo Xunzhou deeply with a solemn expression. He did not say anything and just led the servants to take Huo Zhuxiu back to his room.

Huo Xunzhou looked up and opened the door.

He had come to the study so many times, but he had never thought that there would be a hidden passage in the study.

He walked through the opened door, stepped on the stairs that extended downward, and passed through a long dark corridor.

The sensor lights lit up gradually.

At the end of the long corridor was a European retro carved door with high quality.

He reached out and pushed open the carved door, and what came into sight was a meticulously decorated room.

The entire room was in a retro European style, from the small hanging ornaments on the wall to the sofa in the middle of the room—they were all discontinued products.

Every item in the room was something that many retro home enthusiasts could not get even if they spent a lot of money.

There was not a speck of dust in the room.

The clean coffee machine on the bar counter showed signs of long-term use.

There was a woman’s long hair on the bathroom floor.

There was a wooden comb and many skincare products on the dressing table in the bedroom.

All the traces indicated that someone had been living here.

Furthermore, it was a woman.

To Huo Zhuxiu, she was a very important woman.

She was so important that he had to hide her in this sunless room.

If his guess was correct, Huo Chaosheng had taken away that woman.

That unpredictable younger brother of his really knew a lot of Huo Zhuxiu’s secrets. He even knew that there was a woman living in the basement that Huo Zhuxiu had meticulously built..
