Huo Liu Hua drove to the bottom of the building, intending to personally see what was going on. From the headphones, he heard the loud noises of their family, seemingly because of Luo Ke's birth, arguing.
The man leaning against the car revealed a proud smile. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. Then, he took a deep breath and the white smoke disappeared into the air, obscuring Huo Tsinghua's face.
Upstairs, Luo Ke was still fighting with her adoptive mother, asking about her background with a sad expression.
Luo Yuan's mother sighed and said to him, "I didn't know much about it when I adopted you. The only thing that can prove your identity is that jade pendant. I don't know anything else."
Looking at the awkward expression on Luo Wei's face, she didn't know what to say. Why didn't she tell her? Luo Ke took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down, and silently waited for her mother's next words.
"Keke, I'm really sorry. I was too old then, but I never had any children so I adopted you. I didn't expect to have Luo Mu after a few years." She turned her head to look at Luo Mu, who was standing beside her.
However, this young boy had been scared stiff by the sudden situation. He looked at his relatives with wide eyes, as if he had not expected the situation to turn out like this.
Huo Tinghua listened calmly to their argument with a satisfied look on his face. The more they argued, the more likely it was that he would find the jade pendant. As long as Luo Ke continued to question her adoptive mother, they would definitely hand it over to her.
At this time, a man in a black suit walked up to Huo Tinghua and whispered, "The lawyer from Mr. Huo's side called again."
"Well, what did he say?" Huo Ye asked casually. He was fully focused on Luo Ke, hoping that he would tell him where the jade pendant was. He didn't even pay attention to what his subordinates had said.
"The lawyer said to ask you to find the whereabouts of the keepsake as soon as possible. The old man's will is about to expire, and if you don't get the keepsake within the set time, then all your assets will be donated to the charity." After saying this, his lackey raised his head and quietly sized up Huo Tinghua's expression. He naturally knew what kind of storm and storm these words would cause.
Hearing his words, the man could no longer maintain his usual calm. He clenched his fists and tightly stared in the direction of Luo Ke's house. His eyes were bloodshot as if he was extremely excited. After waiting for a while, he calmed down and slowly said to his subordinate, "I understand. Go and call the lawyer. Tell him that I will be able to take the keepsake back soon and tell him not to worry."
The lackey nodded as he understood the situation. He walked to a corner and called his family's attorney, following Huo Tinghua's instructions, and told him what his boss wanted. His attitude was very haughty as he continued to talk about things with the terms of his will, as if he would not give him a single cent until he had obtained the keepsake.
Huo Liu's men could only lower their heads and constantly explain to their opponents that they would be able to get the items soon. They hoped that they would be able to calm down and give them some more time. The lawyer, however, did not care what they said.
Without any other choice, the man could only promise the lawyer that they would bring the keepsake back as soon as possible. The man then continued to add, "Since you want to get the old man's inheritance, then you have to follow the terms of the will. As for the rest, you don't need to do anything else."
"Yes, we understand. Sorry for troubling you." After hanging up, he went back to Huo Tiehua's side and told him, "The lawyer said that it is only right to see the token. Nothing else is counted. And I have repeatedly stressed to you the terms of the will, saying that if you do not get the keepsake within the specified time, all your assets will be donated to charity and you will not receive a single cent. "
The other party's words infuriated Huo Da, he grabbed the ornaments on the car and smashed the glass onto the ground, causing it to shatter into pieces. He said to his men fiercely: "This group of people only know how to use a keepsake, and they didn't even see how many things I've done for the family. "Now that you've used your will to blackmail me, you take yourself for a moment."
Seeing that his subordinate didn't dare to speak, he quietly waited for his boss to let out his anger. After a while, Huo Xin Hua calmed down and said to his subordinate: "In that case, we can only speed up the plan. We must obtain the item before the deadline, otherwise you know what the consequences will be. If I can't get the old man's property, then no one else can. "
The underling nodded his head and said to Huo Tsinghua, "I understand Mr. Huo. I will complete the task you gave me."
"Mm. Now go and take a picture of Luo Ke, then send it to Lu Yunqi anonymously. The rest is none of your business." Huo Liuhua instructed him.
The subordinate immediately took out his phone, took a photo and sent an email to Lu Yunqi using an unfamiliar email. Then he turned to his boss and said, "We've already done as you asked. What do we need to do next?"
"Leave a few people here to keep an eye on Luo Ke. The rest, follow me back, there are other things you need to do." With that said, Huo Tsinghua got into the car and led them out of the house.
At that time, Lu Yunqi was at work at the company. He left early in the morning, and was still thinking about going back home in the afternoon to have a good chat with Luo Ke about what had happened yesterday, when he received a new email. At first he thought it was some kind of spam.
Lu Yunqi was puzzled. He opened the email with the mouse and saw Luo Ke blushing as she talked to her foster mother. Both of them looked very excited.
The handsome man frowned, tapping her fingers on the table in confusion. She couldn't imagine who would send him such a photo. Looking at the background, Luo Ke must have snuck back home. It seemed like what she didn't want to tell him yesterday was related to her background. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to find her foster mother to ask about it.
Moreover, the two of them must have been very unhappy, and Luo Ke didn't get the information she wanted. On one hand, it was possible that her foster mother really didn't know, and on the other hand she was deliberately hiding it from him. But it didn't matter what the reason was now. Loko just wanted to know something else.
However, what Lu Yunzhi didn't know was that the main purpose of Luo Ke's return home was to find out if Lu Meng had anything to do with her biological parents' deaths.
