Half an hour later, Huo Yao removed the needles.
Huo Yulin had already fallen asleep on the bed. She pulled the blanket over. The moment she saw the skin under his collar, her hand froze.
The scars were hideous. She could imagine how badly he had been injured.
Huo Yao's expression turned solemn as she covered him with the blanket.
Huo Tingrui had already stood up when he saw this. He asked Huo Yao softly. "That's it?"
Did he fall asleep after a few needles?
Huo Yao nodded. She walked to the side and lit a stick of incense.
The fragrance of sandalwood filled the room with a faint medicinal aroma.
"Brother Tingrui, let's go," said Huo Yao to Huo Tingrui as she picked up the box of needles.
The look on her face was clearly telling him not to disturb Huo Yulin's sleep.
Huo Tingrui suddenly felt a little upset when he realized this.
His little sister had never been so gentle to him before.
Before long, they walked out of the room and closed the door behind them. Just as Huo Yao was about to enter the room next door, a thought crossed her mind. She paused and turned around to look at Huo Tingrui with a tilted head. "Did Lu Xia have something to do with Brother Yulin's kidnapping?"
"Huh?" Huo Tingrui was stunned. He quickly composed himself and asked her. "How did you know about Yulin?"
"Dad told me," replied Huo Yao.
Huo Tingrui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had to get to the bottom of things before his family revealed to his little sister. Otherwise, he might end up being the scapegoat for no reason.
He pursed his lips and smiled coldly. "It doesn't matter. It's all in the past." Huo Tingrui paused before he added. "It's getting late. Go and get some rest. You have class tomorrow."
"Okay." Huo Yao did not probe further when she saw Huo Tingrui behaving this way. She pushed the door open and went back to her room.
Huo Tingrui's expression flickered as he watched the door close. In the end, he sighed softly.

Ever since Lu Hongyuan learned from He Xiaoman that Huo Yao's adopted daughter had something to do with the auction, he had secretly sent someone to investigate. After a few days, he finally found some useful information.
His adopted daughter really did know Lin Shuwen, and it seemed like she had some unspeakable relationship with City Councilor Fang.
It wasn't hard to guess the reason why an ordinary high school student would have a relationship with a powerful person.
However, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that through his adopted daughter, he could get in touch with Secretary Lin and Mayor Fang.
Lu Hongyuan called Lu Xia to the study.
Lu Hongyuan sat down in front of the desk and looked at his daughter with a kind look on his face. "Xiaxia, how are you doing in school?"
Lu Xia frowned slightly. She did not know what her father was up to this time. She hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. "I'm doing fine. The final exams are around the corner, so I'm busy with revision."
Lu Hongyuan pulled open the drawer and took out a bank card. He stood up and walked over.
"I've been busy with the company and neglected you. Don't you girls like to go shopping? When you're free, go buy something you like."
When Lu Xia saw this, the strange feeling in her heart became even stronger. She knew what kind of person her biological father was. It was obviously not normal for him to suddenly give her money.
Hence, Lu Xia did not reach out to take the bank card.
"Dad, why did you suddenly give me money..." asked Lu Xia softly with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Do you have something to tell me?"
