Huo Yao did not seem to realize that her answer would stir up a storm in Aunt Tong. She nodded and repeated patiently. "This is where my uncle lives."
Shangguan Tong could not help holding her breath when she heard this. She did not know how to describe her feelings.
She had never thought that there would be such a coincidence in this world, that this child Ah Yu would actually have a blood relation with that person.
She knew that Ah Yu's current name was Huo Yao, but she did not connect her to the Huo family... Shangguan Tong suddenly smiled bitterly. Perhaps this was fate?
She closed her eyes and said softly, "It seems like your uncle is a tycoon."
"Exactly," replied Huo Yao. She could not help sighing. "Sigh. My uncle is so rich. I wonder who will inherit his fortune in the future."
Shangguan Tong was stunned again. "... What do you mean? Shouldn't it be him? Shouldn't your uncle's children inherit it? "
Huo Yao glanced at the living room and sighed. "My uncle has had a tough life. He has no children and has to live alone in such a big house. Auntie Tong, don't you think he's pitiful?"
Shangguan Tong felt as though she had been struck by a heavy blow. Her heart swelled with pain. "Didn't he get married or have children?"
Huo Yao could hear the chief's trembling voice on the other end of the line. Her guess was finally confirmed.
Therefore, her third older brother had been investigating the chief all along. Based on the series of indirect attacks, it was not difficult to guess that Aunt Tong and her uncle had a secret past.
One had never married in his entire life, while the other was depressed all day long, as if he had lost his soul.
It was impossible for them to have nothing to do with each other.
Huo Yao pondered for a moment before she replied softly, "No."
Even though Shang Guantong already knew the answer on the other end of the phone, when she really heard Ah Yu say it, the string in her brain that had been holding on suddenly snapped.
Her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
Shangguan Tong stood there without realizing it. Her frail body looked like it would collapse at any moment.
A moment later, she bent down to pick up her phone. The call had ended, perhaps because it had hit the ground.
Shangguan Tong looked at her phone in a daze and did not call again.
He could only let out a bitter sigh.
Huo Yao stared at the phone and waited for two minutes. She assumed that Aunt Tong would not call again, so she put her phone away.
Instead, he pushed open the glass door and walked into the hall.

While Huo Yao was on the phone, the butler came back.
Seeing that Eldest Miss was not in the hall, he did not probe further and quickly said, "Master Feng, that Mr. Fan is still waiting outside. He asked me to bring a message to you."
Without Huo Yao around, Huo Jingfeng's expression was rather cold as his eyes landed on the butler.
"He said he has information about the person you're looking for," the butler replied in a low voice.
When Huo Jingfeng heard this, his eyes suddenly burst with a strong wave of emotion, and his hands on his knees subconsciously tightened. "What else did he say?"
The butler shook his head. "He only asked me to bring this message to you. He didn't say anything else."
Huo Jingfeng's expression didn't look good at this moment. On the contrary, it was very dark.
Huo Changfeng, who was standing to the side, also frowned. He glanced at Master Feng and said, "Master Feng, I'll go see him."
