Chapter 852: 855 Mysterious Disappearance
Huo Jinnan’s eyes, dense and dark, looked towards Ye Bai. He really wanted to take Huo Minhan with him, didn’t he?
Lighting a cigarette and taking a drag, he spoke in a low voice, "I can’t decide this on my own. I need to ask what he and Qin Huan think."
Ye Bai glanced a few times at Huo Jinnan, somewhat surprised—it was rare to see a man respect a woman’s opinion. "Fine."
Huo Jinnan turned to Shen Mubai, "Once your uncle wakes up, discuss it with him. I’ll head back to Nanyuan Villa with Ye Bai first. I need to discuss it with Huanhuan, too."
...
Upon returning to Nanyuan Villa, when Qin Huan heard Huo Jinnan say that Ye Bai wanted to take the little guy away, she bit her lip and glanced at the kid. She wanted to say no, but then she thought about how both Shen You and Yu Zimu had met with accidents and Xiaowei was still young...
She turned her head to look at Ye Bai.
Ye Bai looked towards Qin Huan.
After a while of looking at each other, Qin Huan turned to the little guy, "Do you want to go with your handsome master?"
The little guy pursed his lips, caught in a moment of inner turmoil.
He really didn’t want to leave Huanhuan, but at this time, if he went with them, Huo Jinnan wouldn’t be distracted and could take better care of Huanhuan.
Looking towards Ye Bai, he said softly, "I want to come back when Huanhuan has the baby."
Ye Bai let out a sigh of relief, clearly in a much better mood. "Fine."
Watching this, Huo Jinnan and Qin Huan could see that Ye Bai was clearly fond of the kid. "Then we’ll entrust his care to you."
Ye Bai looked towards Huo Jinnan and Qin Huan, "He is my apprentice."
...
That night, Huo Jinnan drove Ye Bai, the unconscious Shen You, and the little guy to the airport.
The next day, Huo Bei entered Huo Jinnan’s study, "Sir, there’s been a bit of trouble."
Huo Jinnan raised his gaze towards Huo Bei.
Huo Bei spoke softly, "I specifically checked last night’s flight records. Ye Bai, Director Shen, and the young master did not board the plane. I don’t know where they went."
Huo Jinnan lit another cigarette, "They didn’t board?"
Huo Bei, "Yes."
Huo Jinnan remembered personally escorting them to the boarding gate, watching them enter...
So how did they leave?
Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan, "I checked all the flight information, and there’s no record of them. Sir, could there have been some accident?"
Huo Jinnan thought of Ye Bai and took another puff of his cigarette, flicking off the ash, "It’s fine, you don’t need to worry about this. Go to Youzi’s company to take over his duties."
Huo Bei acknowledged, "I think I’d better offer her a high salary to lure her over. That would make things more secure."
Huo Jinnan’s long fingers pinched the cigarette, his voice deep and resonant, "You don’t need to report these things to me."
Huo Bei, "Understood, sir. I’ll head over there today."
Huo Jinnan, "Go now, we can’t let the company fall into disarray."
Huo Bei left promptly.
Huo Jinnan watched his departing figure, took a couple more drags of his cigarette, then walked to Huo Jinxue’s door, raised his hand, and gently knocked.
Huo Jinxue opened the door, "Second brother."
"Come to my study."
Huo Jinnan glanced at Huo Jinxue and then entered the study.
Huo Jinxue came into the study and looked at Huo Jinnan, lowering her head, "Second brother, I was wrong."
Huo Jinnan raised his eyes to look at Jinxue, "Regarding the contract, the other party caught us out on that. Even if you come forward with the truth, no one will believe it."
Huo Jinxue raised her head to look at Huo Jinnan, "Was it really Grandpa?"
Huo Jinnan took a puff of his cigarette, "You’ll have to be the one to deal with this in the end. I’ll think of a compromise."
Huo Jinxue nodded, "Second brother, whatever you say, I will do."
Huo Jinnan stood up, "I’m going out for a while. Stay at home and spend more time with your sister-in-law. Try not to go out unless necessary."
