Chapter 208 His eyes lit up
Horsley's world seemed to fall silent again.
Meanwhile, in the quiet room, He Xu noticed Huo Sili's serious demeanor and didn't leave. Instead, he stood there, waiting for Huo Sili to finish reading and give any instructions he might need.
Then, He Xu saw that Huo Sili first skimmed through ten lines, and then went back to carefully study the first line.
During this time, the familiar look of loss and dejection that had appeared in Huo Sili's eyes became apparent.
Upon noticing this, He Xu's feelings became complicated.
He desperately wanted to persuade him, but all the words in his heart boiled down to the phrase "the dead cannot be brought back to life," and he couldn't bring himself to say it.
So I continued to stand there quietly like a wooden statue.
He even had a somewhat delusional thought: if only his wife were still alive.
After all, since his wife left, he had witnessed President Huo repeatedly neglecting his health.
This month marks the third month since his wife passed away, and it's also the third month since Mr. Huo left. He has a habit of injuring himself and not seeking timely treatment.
Every now and then a cut appears on my hand or leg; when asked, it's because I was accidentally cut by a sharp object while exercising.
Or it's a bruise, the kind that looks scary with a dark purple bruise. When asked how it happened, they just say they bumped into something accidentally.
But they're all adults. What sharp weapon could cause those cuts without intentionally cutting them?
And the lie about bumping into someone... that's making him sound like a three-year-old.
This tendency is certainly not a good sign.
Most importantly, not long ago, President Lu Xiuyuan had asked President Huo to have a physical examination, and during that examination, he was indeed diagnosed with depression.
The severity is not minor.
He Xu was truly anxious. Huo Sili had saved his and his family's lives, and he had also mentored him. Although they weren't blood brothers, the master-servant relationship they had shared for so many years made him unable to watch Huo Sili gradually "bury" him.
If possible, he still hoped that President Huo could pull himself together and stop hurting himself. Even if the outcome wasn't what he wanted this time, he didn't want it to affect him...
Suddenly, however, he saw that the chest of the man opposite him was heaving faster and throbbing, as if his heart was leaping with joy.
He Xu paused for a moment, then realized that this seemed to be a precursor to Huo Sili's recent heart palpitations and pain!
Realizing this, He Xu's pupils contracted instantly, and he quickly ran forward to help.
But before he could finish uttering the word "Huo...", suddenly, a tall, handsome man in front of him looked at him with unusually bright eyes, and then there was a click!
"Go to this address and check her information. He Xu, you go there yourself now! Go and help me see if it's her, or at least ask around."
Huo Sili's eyes were so bright that He Xu was startled and felt a pang of pity.
Since his wife passed away, Mr. Huo has been searching for her whereabouts.
As a trusted confidant, he naturally knew about this all along, but...
At that time, the wife's clothes and broken hair were found, and the car was burned to a crisp...
How could someone possibly survive in that situation?
And even if his wife were still alive, as far as he knew, she seemed to have always preferred a life of mountains, rivers, fields, and ancient charm. This foreign country, no matter how you looked at it, didn't seem to appeal to her.
Despite harboring doubts, he quickly bent down and stared at her.
He stared intently at the spot where Horstley was pointing at his computer screen, looking at it carefully three times to memorize it.
The person on the other end provided several addresses, but he didn't know why they provided so many.
However, He Xu did have some recollection of the address that Huo Sili pointed to.
That was the suburban area in the eastern part of the continent where they were at that moment.
"Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll go."
……
"Miss, are you sleepy?"
Jiang Qin was painting in the study when Aunt Zhou brought in some cut fruit.
When I came in, I noticed that Jiang Qin seemed to be in a fishing state, her head nodding little by little.
Jiang Qin was awakened by the aroma of fruit. She forked a piece and put it in her mouth, nodding listlessly.
"Hmm, I'm a little sleepy." As she spoke, she pinched her Qingming acupoint.
I wasn't actually that sleepy, but I don't know if it's because the weather wasn't that cold today, but after staying indoors for a long time, I felt quite warm because the doors and windows were closed and the air wasn't circulating much.
So as I continued drawing, I became increasingly sleepy.
"Then, Miss, please take a rest."
After Jiang Qin finished eating the fruit she had cut with the fork, she nodded upon hearing this, "Mm."
She was just about to go back to her bedroom to sleep for a while. Last night's nightmare was longer than any of her previous ones, and it took her a long time to fall back asleep after waking up.
Thinking it through, Jiang Qin got up and walked towards the bedroom.
But for some reason, as I walked, my heart suddenly started racing, and I felt a sudden pang of panic.
At that very moment, the sound of wheels rolling could be heard from outside the door, a sound that was unusually rare.
