Chapter 695 Xue Jun is missing



Chapter 695 Xue Jun is missing

At noon, Huo Donglin sat at the dining table, looking at the delicious food in front of him, feeling particularly happy.

He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth, thinking happily that now that Xue Jun was gone, peace could finally return to the family!

However, his good mood only lasted until four in the afternoon.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the Huo family's living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Huo Junshan pushed the door open and walked in, with a look of joy on his face as he returned from fishing.

A few old friends were fishing together. He caught the most fish, including a particularly large black carp. It took three people working together to pull it up. They weighed it and it was found to be ten kilograms.

The reservoir they were heading to was a private resort. The fish in it were farmed, and fishing was also an entertainment activity in the resort. But Huo Junshan was still very happy that he had such good luck.

He told the servant, "Go take down the fishing gear in the trunk and clean it up. Oh, there's a black bass in the trunk. Ask the nanny to take care of it. It will be a snack tonight."

The servant went away in response.

Huo Junshan went upstairs and headed directly towards Xue Jun's room. After taking a few steps, he stopped, smelled the fishy smell on his body, and changed direction.

"Dad, you're back." Hearing the noise, Huo Donglin poked his head out of the room.

"Well, Dad caught a big fish and asked Auntie to prepare it tonight. How do you want to eat it?"

Huo Donglin said happily, "Wow, Dad, you are so awesome, I want to eat braised fish!"

"Okay, then let Auntie braise half of it and steam the other half."

Seeing that Huo Junshan was in a good mood, Huo Donglin hesitated whether to tell him the news of Xue Jun's departure.

Huo Junshan went to his room, "Okay, go do your homework, Dad is going to take a shower."

"……Oh."

Huo Donglin held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and couldn't say them out loud.

Let’s talk about it after Dad finishes taking a shower.

Huo Junshan quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and happily went to Xue Jun's room to share the good news with her.

Unexpectedly, there was no one in Xue Jun's room.

Huo Junshan went downstairs and called the nanny out, "Where's Xiaojun?"

"Miss Xue went out this morning," said the nanny.

"Did she say where she was going?"

“…No.” The nanny lowered her head.

Although she was specifically there to serve Xue Jun, Mr. Huo didn't say that Miss Xue was not allowed to go out.

Huo Junshan glanced at the nanny unhappily, took out his cell phone and called Xue Jun.

A mechanical electronic voice came from the microphone, "Hello, the number you dialed is turned off..."

He called again and asked Uncle Qiao to come over.

Still not connected.

A chill appeared on Huo Junshan's face.

Uncle Qiao came over with a worried look on his face. Knowing that he was looking for Xue Jun, he said directly, "Sir, Miss Xue went out alone this morning, saying that she was going out for a walk and didn't call a car to take her. She called back at noon and said that there was no need to wait for her to have lunch. When I tried to contact her again at three o'clock in the afternoon, I couldn't get through. I have sent someone to retrieve the surveillance video and look for her, but there is no news yet."

Huo Junshan slammed his phone on the coffee table, shocking the servants around him into silence. "It's been an hour, and there's still no news? Why didn't you notify me earlier?!"

Uncle Qiao lowered his head and said, "It is my fault. Please punish me, sir."

Just then, there was a slight noise coming from upstairs.

Huo Junshan looked up and saw Huo Donglin's little head shrinking back in panic.

He thought Huo Donglin was frightened, so he looked away and saw that the maid's eyes were wandering and she looked guilty.

Huo Junshan pointed at the maid and said, "You, come forward."

Meeting Huo Junshan's sharp gaze, the maid's face turned pale and she slowly moved out, "Mr....Mr.."

"what do you want to say?"

The maid hesitated for a while and said, "Sir... this morning, when I was cleaning the second floor, I saw..."

"what did you see?"

"...I saw the Second Young Master talking to Miss Xue, and it seemed that he gave Miss Xue something, and then Miss Xue went out." The maid spoke intermittently, glancing upstairs from time to time.

Huo Junshan's face suddenly became terribly gloomy. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the door suddenly opened and Lin Jiamin walked in carrying a shoulder bag.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing that Butler Qiao and the servants were all there, and sensing the tense atmosphere in the living room, Lin Jiamin looked at Huo Junshan in confusion.

Huo Junshan glanced at her calmly and shouted, "Huo Donglin! Get down here!"

Seeing that Lin Jiamin was puzzled, Uncle Qiao hurried forward and explained the matter briefly in a low voice.

After hearing this, Lin Jiamin's face changed slightly. She looked towards the stairs worriedly and glanced gloomily at the servant who told the story. "Are you sure you saw the Second Young Master talking to Miss Xue with your own eyes?"

The maid took a step back with a pale face. She had already offended the lady, and if she changed her words now, the lady would not appreciate it, and she would also offend the husband.

She lowered her head and answered firmly, "I did see it."

Huo Donglin lowered his head and walked down the stairs slowly, his little hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, looking a little at a loss.

"Donglin, what did you say to Xue Jun this morning?" Huo Junshan asked with a sullen face.

Under the pressure of his father's authority, Huo Donglin was so frightened that he trembled all over, hunched his shoulders, and his eyes unconsciously turned red.

Lin Jiamin walked up to Huo Donglin, patted his shoulder gently, and soothed him with her eyes, "Dongli, tell mom, did you talk to Miss Xue? If not, tell the truth, and dad won't wrongly accuse you."

Hearing the guidance in Lin Jiamin's words, Huo Junshan stared at Huo Donglin, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

Huo Donglin burst into tears instantly: "She...she is a mistress, she just wants dad's money...I...I gave her all my pocket money...let her...let her leave our house..."

By the end of the conversation, it had turned into sobbing.

"You... bastard!" Huo Junshan stood up angrily and pointed at Huo Donglin.

A tall shadow loomed over him, and Huo Donglin burst into tears in fear.

"Junshan!" Lin Jiamin stood in front of her son, "Donglin is still a child, he doesn't understand..."

"I don't know anything?" Huo Junshan sneered, "I think he knows a lot! Did you teach him? Hmm?"

Uncle Qiao and the others lowered their heads deeply, trying hard to pretend they didn't exist.

Lin Jiamin's face turned pale. "What are you talking about? If something happens to Miss Xue, I'll be the first person you suspect. What good will it do for me to do this?"

Either she would not make a move, or, once she made a move, she would pin Xue Jun to death and make it impossible for her to ever stand up again.

She would never do such a stupid thing which would not only fail to kill Xue Jun but also make Huo Junshan angry.

"Dongli," she turned around and held her son's shoulders, her voice gentle but with a force that could not be refused, "Hurry up and admit your mistake to daddy."

Huo Donglin bit his lips and tears fell down in big drops.

He helped his mother drive Xue Jun away, so why did his mother ask him to admit his mistake?

Mom also thinks that he shouldn’t have driven Xue Jun away?
