Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 320

After Zhong Yuhuan told her story to Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming, she didn’t bother if they really believed her and happily got in the car, returning to their villa. Then, she went to Yuelan villa, accompanying Grandpa Ding for a few days.

Huo Chengming didn’t really believe it.

He thought it was more likely that Zhong Yuhuan had a dream, but it was so realistic that it made her become overly cautious.

However, Huo Chengming didn’t take this too lightly. He instructed his assistant to collect incidents of ghostly and supernatural events from different places. He wasn’t trying to confirm whether or not Zhong Yuhuan was a reincarnated ghost but rather if everything she said was true, then would there be a day when she has to leave? Would she suddenly disappear from this world?

In comparison, the story that appeared in Li Jinyuan’s mind seemed even more insignificant.

Huo Chengming cared even less about his role in the story. It didn’t matter whether he was a good or bad person.

Although he and Li Jinyuan didn’t like each other, they still understood each other well enough due to growing up together. If Li Jinyuan really acted according to the story, then he’d really be an idiot.

“Mr. Huo, here is the information you requested. I will continue to collect these materials, consistently updating the information you have.” The assistant handed him a folder.

Huo Chengming took it.

The assistant also handed him a USB. “This is the archive.”

“Mhm.” Huo Chengming squeezed it in the palm of his hand and said in a low voice, “Prepare the car. I’m going to Yuelan villa.”

Grandpa Ding had specially called, telling him to come over for dinner.

Even if he didn’t say anything, Huo Chengming would still go. After all, Zhong Yuhuan would be there.

The assistant took Huo Chengming’s laptop into the car and Huo Chengming looked through the information stored on the USB on the way to the Yuelan villa. He pored over each file carefully, ensuring that he wouldn’t miss a thing.

The assistant couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances at Huo Chengming. If someone who didn’t know any better saw him right then, they’d think he was looking through some multibillion contract!

When they got out of the car, Huo Chengming had already read over half of the files on the USB. After reading through the documents, Huo Chengming felt more assured.

He closed the laptop, handing it to the assistant, and walked into the villa.

Meanwhile...

Li Jinyuan had just finished an event. Although he had announced that he was leaving, the jobs that he had signed before making the announcement all had to be completed. Only after doing this could he properly leave the circle, or else he would be known as someone who did not abide by his word.

His assistant handed him a towel and water, saying in a low voice, “The elderly Mr. Ding called, inviting you over for dinner.”

Li Jinyuan froze, then nodded, his smile becoming much more real.

Li Yong was still sitting in his wheelchair with assistant Dong pushing him. They were waiting for Li Jinyuan close by. When Li Yong heard the assistant’s words, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you blaming me? When comparing the two of us, that old Mr. Ding seems to be closer to you.”

“Huanhuan’s grandpa once taught me calligraphy, told me stories, took me fishing, and played chess with me. What have you done?” Li Jinyuan lightly said.

Li Yong wasn’t angry at his words and even nodded seriously. “Makes sense. Feelings should be cultivated. He’s kind towards you, so feelings would naturally develop. You’re not blood-related, but your relation is better than one with blood relations. Especially since he’s also the grandfather of your loved one.”

When Li Jinyuan heard the last sentence, his expression finally softened.

Li Jinyuan started heading towards the backstage, and Li Yong followed. He said, “I heard little Dong say that you’ve been gathering some materials lately and they’re all related to gods, magic arts, resurrection type things… What happened? Could someone have used these methods to harm you?”

Li Jinyuan turned back to glance at his assistant.

His assistant immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Huo Chengming wasn’t the only one who paid great attention to Zhong Yuhuan’s words.

Li Jinyuan was naturally not afraid of the fact that Zhong Yuhuan was someone who had lived through a few lifetimes. He was very clear about Zhong Yuhuan’s state while she told them about it. She was calm and collected, her gaze clear. Therefore, it wasn’t something she made up, nor nonsense under the influence of a nightmare.

Even if Li Jinyuan was hesitant to believe her, he had to now.

And after believing, concern over the health of Huanhuan’s body overcame him, and if something like soul separation could occur in the future became the next thing on his agenda.

Li Jinyuan was too busy, so he asked his assistant to look into it.
