Chapter 237: Brother and Sister Meet
The night rain pattered down, the shadows of the trees swayed. The banana trees in the Huo family’s compound were wilted by the heavy rain, and the marks on the bluestone slabs had been cleaned up. Before dawn, along with the fading darkness, the night's battle was also buried.
When news of Huo Xuan's arrest at Tu Su's apartment reached the Huo family’s compound, Huo Lingyin thought she was hallucinating. "He was arrested?"
"Yes." Upon seeing Si Xu, the superhuman who had come to deliver the message suddenly remembered the identity of Miss Jiang at Mr. Tu Su's house. "Mr. Tu Su is fine, but Miss Jiang has injured her arm and has been taken to the hospital."
Huo Lingyin thought she was still hallucinating. "Miss Jiang? Who? Jiang Ran?"
The superhuman nodded. "Yes."
Huo Lingyin asked in confusion, "Why is Jiang Ran at Mr. Tu Su's apartment at this late hour?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Xu stood up from the sofa, yawned lazily like a cat, and interrupted Huo Lingyin's questioning, "I'm going to the hospital to pick up Jiang Ran and take her home."
Before anyone else could speak, he grabbed the umbrella leaning against the door and went out.
As soon as he left, Luo Yuting stood up and said, "Now that the alliance has been established, I'll go back too."
Pei Xiao nodded. "I'll see you out."
In the blink of an eye, the lively living room was left with only the two Huo sisters and Huo Heng.
Huo Lingyin clicked her tongue. "They've all left? The alliance is established already? That bastard Si Xu hasn't even said anything yet."
She sighed, somewhat bored, "Since everyone's gone, I'll go check if Huo Xuan is dead."
She took a few steps, and Huo Heng followed behind her as they walked out.
Huo Lingyin paused, turned to look at Huo Heng. "Aren't you staying?"
"Why..." Why would I want to stay?
Huo Heng didn't ask the question. On the sofa, Huo Lingge said timidly, "Sister, it's already so late. You can see Huo Xuan tomorrow. Why don't you stay and rest for the night?"
Her voice was soft, and her lifeless eyes were fixed on the direction where Huo Lingyin was. Although her eyes were the same empty blackness as before, Huo Lingyin felt that she could see they were filled with anticipation.
Her lips moved, as if she were about to refuse, but Huo Lingge pleaded softly, "Sister?"
Huo Lingyin, "..."
Seeing his captain's hesitation, Huo Heng wisely said, "Captain, I'll go to check on Huo Xuan. You stay here. I'm worried that the remnants of Huo Xuan's followers haven't been completely wiped out and might attack Marshal Huo again tonight."
Huo Lingyin tossed her black hair to cover her pale flushed ears, and said calmly, "What you said makes sense..."
Huo Lingge clapped her hands. "Great! I'll go tidy up the room!"
Having grown accustomed to his captain always not saying what she truly felt, Huo Heng sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go to the hospital."
"No need, you go back and rest. Have the hospital staff keep a close eye on things. I'll go to the hospital with you first thing tomorrow morning."
After Huo Lingyin finished speaking, she glanced at Huo Lingge and realized that after receiving a response, the girl's attention was no longer on them. She couldn't help but begin to doubt her initial conclusion.
Could it be that Huo Lingge really didn't like Huo Heng? If so, why was she... staying in the Huo family?
……
When Pei Xiao saw Luo Yuting off, they happened to run into Xie Chengzhi pushing Luo Rui over to find Huo Sichan.
As Huo Sichan's current friends, the two of them naturally wouldn't be absent from tonight's operation.
Having met once before at Xiling base, Pei Xiao nodded to the two men.
When Luo Rui saw him, she frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and looked away.
Xie Chengzhi politely returned the greeting and pushed Luo Rui inside.
As he brushed past the girl, Luo Yuting's gaze lingered on Luo Rui, feeling that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
These two were probably the two formidable figures from Xiling base that Huo Sichan recently met.
They probably knew Si Xu and Jiang Ran, but since they came here, Jiang Ran had never mentioned them.
It was evident that there was bad blood between them and Jiang Ran at Xiling base.
Having decided to ally with Si Xu, Luo Yuting paid little attention to the two of them.
Just as he was about to look away, a flash of silver light appeared from the shadows and was about to hit the girl's temple.
Luo Yuting's gaze had been fixed on her, so he reacted even faster than Xie Chengzhi.
"Watch out."
As he used his ice blade to block the bullet, he also grabbed the girl's wheelchair. Caught off guard, Luo Rui's wheelchair slid down the steps, and she rolled off the wheelchair as well.
"What happened?"
The change happened in an instant. Xie Chengzhi didn't have time to help Luo Rui up. He leaped toward the hiding place of the person who fired the shot to chase after him.
Pei Xiao instructed the superhumans who surrounded him, "They are Huo Xuan's remnants. Follow Xie Chengzhi to take a look."
"Yes!"
"Also, arrange for someone to guard the Huo family’s compound, so as not to give those people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"Yes."
After giving instructions to the superhumans outside, Pei Xiao looked at the young man who was helping up the wheelchair. "I'll go in and inform Huo Lingyin about the situation here."
"Hmm." Luo Yuting responded absentmindedly, straightened the wheelchair, and squatted down to help Luo Rui.
……
The girl fell to the ground, her clothes and arms covered in mud, looking utterly disheveled.
Knowing that Pei Xiao, who had a good relationship with Jiang Ran, was watching from the side, she really wanted to get up on her own. However, since the tendons in her legs had been severed, if she tried to get up, she would only make herself look pathetic and struggle in front of him.
Unfortunately, Xie Chengzhi was off chasing after the assassin.
A sudden wave of grievance washed over her, and when Luo Yuting reached out to help her, she forcefully waved her hand, trying to shake him off.
"Rip—"
As her movements were too sudden, Luo Yuting couldn’t stop in time. He could only watch helplessly as he tore off a piece of her clothes.
"You!" Feeling a chill run down her spine, Luo Rui hugged her shoulders and glared at Luo Yuting. "Don't look!"
The man's gaze lingered on her shoulder for a long time.
She had a birthmark on her shoulder, a dark red birthmark that contrasted sharply with her snow-white skin, like a red plum blossom on snow. It caught his immediate attention.
This birthmark... this girl...
Who was she?
"You're still looking!" The gazes of the surrounding superhumans lingered on her, and Luo Rui's face flushed red. She wanted to curse this lecherous man, "You..."
Luo Yuting quickly took off his coat, wrapped it around her, and, ignoring her struggles, forcibly picked her up.
"Where are you taking me?" Luo Rui was terrified when he didn't put her in the wheelchair but strode outside. "Put me down! Let go! Put me down! I..."
"Shut up, you're so noisy."
"..."
Seemingly annoyed by her noise, Luo Yuting quickened his pace and finally leaped up, disappearing from everyone's sight after a few jumps.
Pei Xiao, "...What...what's going on? Luo Yuting kidnapped Luo Rui? Oh? Luo...they both have the surname Luo?"
Could it be that Luo Rui was related to the Luo family of Nanjun?
If that was the case, then this alliance was going to be a bit tricky.
