Chapter 694: Your Romance with the Paranoid Villain Boss
However.
Huo Tingzun just waved dismissively, "Don’t waste time on strangers."
The woman and the bodyguard fell silent.
The little boy, however, watched in the direction where Xiao Bailu disappeared and sighed, "That big sister is quite cool. Actually, I’ve always wanted to do that too..."
Huo Tingzun: "..."
The woman quickly intervened, "Little Bao, your dad has a partner interview with the law firm tonight. He’s busy and tight on time, don’t upset him. Try this cheese lava toast..."
The little boy looked serious, "First, don’t call me Little Bao, it’s childish! Second, I’m a man, I don’t like sweets. How many times do I have to say it for you to remember?"
The woman was left speechless, "..."

Imperial Royal Academy.
Cafeteria.
Huo Zhen stared at the phone with a grave expression.
Sister Lu Lu said, is Huo Tingzun back? How come he, the younger brother, hadn’t heard a whisper about it?
But then again, Huo Tingzun is a prominent lawyer, and his confidentiality is always top-notch.
These past three years, many people thought he was dead, but he reincarnated like a cicada shedding its shell.
If he doesn’t want anyone to know his whereabouts, surely no one can find out.
The question is, why would someone who was thought dead return to the Imperial City?
Those who attacked him back then must be trembling with fear.
Is the Imperial City about to face another bloody storm?
And Sister Lu Lu, with her deep obsession with her brother, will she stir up unrest in the Huo Family?
Huo Zhen sighed.
These matters are certainly worrisome, but what concerns him more is something else. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Sister Xin has been missing for 72 hours now. If she doesn’t return soon, I’m going to go on a hunger strike..." Hu Yi counted the grains of rice in his bowl, too worried to eat.
"Wuwuwu, has something happened to Sister Xin?" Song Anjing was even more worried; even the milk tasted bland, as she bit the straw and rested her chin, lost in thought.
Ao Xinghao remained silent, deep in thought.
He was searching for something on his phone, and after a while, he said, "The Nalan Family has private surveillance satellites. I plan to find a way to check the footage from the day Sister Xin left the school, to see where she went and who she met. If someone has harmed her, the surveillance footage should reveal it."
Hu Yi nodded vigorously, "It’s all up to you, Ao Chongchong. My uncle and the Nalan Family are arch-rivals, so I can’t help much, alas."
After a while.
Ao Xinghao breathed a sigh of relief, "Done, the contact agreed to find someone to check. But it will take some time, and he’ll inform me once he knows anything."
Everyone’s expressions were solemn.
The Nalan Family is a top-tier noble family.
Being able to find a connection within the Nalan Family is a remarkable skill.
In the midst of the silence.
Qiu Gang passed by their table with his stainless steel meal tray, excitedly saying, "Did you guys see the update Xinghe just released? It came early today, such a treat. It made my meal all the more enjoyable to read the update while eating."
Noticing the unusual expressions on their faces, normally, they would be eagerly discussing Xinghe, all being big fans, why were they not interested today?
Qiu Gang felt a bit disappointed and said to Song Anjing, "Never mind, you can read it yourself tonight. Anyway, I saw your name and was pleasantly surprised. Did you leave a comment requesting a cameo role? Xinghe actually wrote you into his novel, and from the way the plot is developing, you have a very intense emotional storyline with the paranoid villain..."
Song Anjing initially had no mood to pay attention to him.
However, upon hearing this news, she suddenly became alert.
"It’s Sister Xin! It’s Sister Xin!"
