Huo Yanqing turned around as if nothing had happened and strode upstairs. After a few steps, he turned around and saw that Shuxin was still standing in the corner. "Aren't you going up?"
Shuxin glared at Huo Yanqing. Seriously, she had just arrived at someone else's house and they were already hugging each other. This was too outrageous. She was too embarrassed to face anyone.
Shuxin braced herself and walked upstairs.
Huo Yanqing waited for Shuxin to reach his side. He reached out to hold her hand, but Shuxin put her hand into her pocket first and gave Huo Yanqing a look that said, "Mind your image. Don't pull my hand."
Huo Yanqing didn't seem to understand her look. He approached her and put his arm around her waist.
Shuxin's first reaction was to look at Lu Jinshen, who was standing on the stairs. He was looking at them with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a flash of envy in his eyes.
Shuxin smiled awkwardly. Her cheeks were burning, but she couldn't push Huo Yanqing away in front of Lu Jinshen. She could only let him hold her as they walked upstairs.
When they reached the second floor, Lu Jinshen pointed in a direction. "Qiao 'er is in that room."
"Okay, I'll go see her." Shuxin freed her waist from Huo Yanqing's large hands. As she walked towards Tong Qiao's room, she didn't forget to look back at Huo Yanqing.
"How do you feel when you see her?" Lu Jinshen asked.
Lu Jinshen already knew that Huo Yanqing had regained his sight over the phone.
"I can't get enough of her." Huo Yanqing watched Shuxin enter her room before looking away. "Let's go to your study. I have something to talk to you about."
The two of them sat down on the sofa in the study. Lu Jinshen took out a cigarette box, shook out two cigarettes, and handed one to Huo Yanqing.
Huo Yanqing did not take it. "I quit."
A look of surprise flashed across Lu Jinshen's face. Then, he looked at Huo Yanqing with a half-smile. "You've really quit?"
"Yes."
Lu Jinshen put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. After taking a puff, he placed the cigarette box and lighter on the coffee table in front of him. "Shuxin won't let you smoke?"
"I want to quit myself."
Lu Jinshen looked at Huo Yanqing through the green and white smoke. His eyes showed that he didn't believe what Huo Yanqing had said.
"Smoking is bad for your health. I'm nine years older than Xin 'er. If you don't take care of your health, I won't feel at ease walking in front of her in the future."
Lu Jinshen was stunned. He did not expect this to be the reason.
For a smoker, quitting smoking was not as simple as it sounded.
For example, right now, Huo Yanqing really wanted to smoke when he smelled the cigarette. However, he had strong self-control and had been suppressing that desire in his heart.
Huo Yanqing reached out to take the cigarette between Huo Yanqing's fingers and put it out in the ashtray. "Second-hand smoke is not good for your health."
A thin smile flashed across Lu Jinshen's eyes. "If you can't help it, just say it. Why bother making excuses?" But if it was put out, so be it. After listening to Huo Yanqing's words, Lu Jinshen suddenly felt that smoking was not so easy after all.
Huo Yanqing glanced at Lu Jinshen. He did not deny it. After two seconds of silence, he said, "We have some clues about what happened five years ago."
"Was it really not an accident?"
"Yes. A few months ago, Tingxi found one of Luo Zhenlong's former underlings. He found out from that person that the reason they were able to encircle and suppress us was because they received a call from our troops in advance. They made arrangements in advance and were just waiting to catch a turtle in a jar."
"You're saying there's another mole?" Lu Jinshen found it hard to believe.
"Yes. Recently, I've arranged for Chen Qiang to investigate in the troops. There's already some progress."
"You found the mole?"
