Chapter 517
Wen Shuxu looked at the woman in a daze, not sure if it was because she had stopped abruptly in the middle of the story that she hadn’t recovered?
Or was it because the story she was telling was too shocking?
So much so that, when the woman stopped, she actually half leaned back on the bed for a long time, still with a dumbfounded expression.
The military families of the capital.
That was not just a high family, it was practically royalty, could such a family casually marry a girl?
The girl is also so unrespectful that she is in a hurry to live with the man she loves without being formally welcomed into the family.
Wen Shuxu’s mind, suddenly flashed back to the monster she saw that day upstairs in the ancestral hall ……
“When the God family received the news, of course they were furious, they rushed from the capital to City A overnight to take away God Ying. But at that time, Shen Ying happened to be on a mission for the troops and was not in A City, so in a fit of anger, they took away xiao Fuli, who was already pregnant at the time. They wanted to get rid of her, along with the child in her belly, because, that was a stain on their God family.”
“……”
After a few seconds, seeing that the woman had stopped talking again, Wen Shuxu pursed her cold lips and heard herself ask, “And then?”
“And then?”
The woman whose thoughts had also drifted to nowhere, heard the question and pulled the corners of her mouth, “Then of course that beastly man, finally realised what a stupid thing he had done, he had to cut off two lives for his own selfish desires, and he hastily informed God Ying to come and save them.”
“But no one expected that Goding, who was on a mission, would hear the terrible news, lose his concentration, be hit in the heart by an enemy bullet and die for his country on the spot.”
“……”
There was no more sound.
For a long, long time there was silence in this secret room.
When this story was told, there was really no need to ask what the subsequent plot was, as Huo Siji had survived and ended up becoming Huo Yanying’s son.
In other words, the original xiao Fuli was still saved.
No matter what methods Huo Yanying used, he saved her life in the end and raised the child in her belly as his own son.
Wen Shuxu suddenly remembered how that man had grown up from childhood to adulthood.
Yes, now that I think about it, many times, Huo Yanying was really a little too good to this son, from the mandatory treatment he received when he was a child, to when he was older and went out of his way to keep his secret for him.
He even went so far as to have his hands covered in blood because of it.
Just ask, how many ordinary fathers can do such a thing?
Moreover, even Wen Shuxu was counted on by him back then, precisely for the purpose of fearing that she would reveal his secret.
Chapter 518
Wen Shuxu finally couldn’t bear such excitement, and after a large swath of darkness hit her eyes, she lost consciousness.
This wasn’t real, no.
If it was, then what would he do?
Who else could come and help him through this crisis now? She couldn’t let them ruin him.
—
Domestic.
The old Huo family residence.
Huo Siji and Huo Sen, both of them, eventually found a secret pa*sage in this ancestral hall through the two footprints left at the entrance of the hidden door of the ancestral hall downstairs.
Then, it was in this secret pa*sage that they went in and discovered that there was actually an underground dwelling of quite a large size underneath.
“My goodness, I’ve never heard Uncle say that there is a house hidden underneath this ground, when did this happen? How come we didn’t know anything about it?”
Hossein was stunned at the sight of the gilded bas*ment.
No, it shouldn’t even be called a bas*ment anymore.
Because, the level of luxury here was completely comparable to the luxurious villas above ground, if not more so.
The magnificent crystal lamps, the thickly carpeted hall, the expensive sofas, the purely imported European-style palace cherry wood dining table, no doubt did not show the opulence of this place, even the few decorative paintings hanging on the wall, Huo Sen swept two glances and was shocked to find that they were actually the real paintings of several foreign masters, the value of which could not be measured in money.
My goodness, why would that old man build such a luxurious palace under the ground?
Has he gone mad?
Huo Sen couldn’t believe his eyes.
Huo Si Jue wasn’t much better.
However, after he had taken a glance, his attention began to sharpen what he wanted to know, his ink-black pupils emitting a dark, cold and sharp light, not letting go of every part of the place.
As a result, he did find some movement.
“Who?”
The sudden outburst of the man’s drink immediately made this underground palace buzz.
The pair of feet hidden behind the curtains panicked, and she scattered her legs and darted to the side.
But by this time, Huo Sijiu had already spotted her, so how could he let her run away so easily? With an arrow step, he came after her and grabbed the long and dirty clothes floating behind her back.
“Thud…”
She went down, followed by a rat-like squeak coming out of her mouth, “Squeak ……”
Hossegor: “……”
Frozen for a moment, he almost thought it was really a monster and didn’t let go of his hand on the spot.
Luckily, at this time, Hossein also came over, and after seeing this scene, he instantly stared at the object that had fallen to the ground and exclaimed, “Is this …… a human?”
A human?
Only then did Huo Sijiu once again pinch the object he was cupping in his hand with force.
Sure enough, it was dirty, but soft and, well, warm.
“Squeak ……”
The person he was holding down began to scream again, and along with this time, she struggled violently, just like a mouse really, twisting her head desperately trying to bite Huo Sijiu’s hand.
Huo Sijiu couldn’t stand it any longer and gave her wrist a firm squeeze directly on her wrist.
“Ah…” a miserable cry, finally, this person lying there and not moving.
Seeing that, Huo Sijiu let go of his hand and then flipped her over.
Surprisingly …… it was still a woman?
Huo Sen was stunned: “Big uncle even hid a woman here? Who the hell is she? She can’t be uncle’s lover, can she?”
“You shut up!”
Huo Sijiu immediately scolded in fury, and then, he stared at this woman to take a closer look at her.
But, unfortunately, this woman, who hadn’t washed her face for who knows how long, her entire face was black, except for a pair of eyes and a mouth that could be clearly seen as a person.
The woman in front of me was really no different from a ghost.
A ghost?
Huo Siji suddenly thought of the crazy words his sister Huo Si Xing had been telling him.
“Who the hell are you? Why are you locked up here?” Huo Sijie asked patiently.
But unexpectedly, this woman, who had been holding her head in fear and anxiety after being caught in front of him, heard his voice and suddenly, she raised her head and looked over sharply.
“Zee ……”
Surprisingly her eyes lit up for a moment.
Underneath the dirt-filled skin, those dull and confused pupils, as if they had suddenly been illuminated by something, brightened so much that even Huo Sijiu looked slightly shaken for a moment.
These eyes were really beautiful.
Moreover, he looked somewhat familiar.
“Squeaky ……”
“What is she talking about? It couldn’t be that she’s been locked up here for so long that she’s forgotten what we humans say,” Huoshen said with regret when he saw the scene.
Huo Siji was also a little annoyed.
However, neither of them expected that after the woman “squeaked” a few times, seeing that Huo Siji did not respond, then, from her voice, she actually squeezed out two words with extreme difficulty: “Baby …… ”
Baby?
She called him baby!
Huo Sijiu steeply dark clouds.
However, this is not enough, this woman recognized him, actually followed by opening his arms: “hug …… mother …… hug …… ”
She strained to crawl towards him, trying to hug him.
Huo Siji: “……”
Just when he was so disgusted that he was about to immediately lift his foot and kick it out, suddenly, behind them a person barged in.
