Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Chapter 411: Chapter 134: Xiao Huo Zui—A Frog Trapped at the Bottom of the Well (Part 4)

"Perhaps in Huo Wei’s view, his father’s death hid other grievances, which is why he resents Old Sir Huo. He knows he can’t shake Old Sir Huo’s sturdy tree, so when Huo Qinyou suggested swapping children, he stole Old Sir Huo and the Princess’s child."

"To someone like Old Sir Huo, isn’t this a kind of heart-piercing revenge?"

"And whether it was A Zui, Song Chi, or the child born of Huo Qinyou and Huo Yunsheng, the three of them actually looked quite similar. Not only that, all three of them were blood type B. This is also why when the children later underwent physical examinations, no suspicions were raised."

After speaking, Ye Mingluo opened his phone and found a photo he had secretly taken from the hospital’s database.

He pointed to the photo, showing a little boy wearing a black and white striped polo shirt and a white visor cap, saying, "This is Old Sir Huo’s son, Huo Lanyue."

Xu Xingguang leaned in to take a look.

In the photo stood three children, with Huo Qinyou’s son Huo Lanyue in the middle, a young Song Chi to Huo Lanyue’s left, and behind the two, a little boy with a water gun backpack.

Little Huo Lanyue didn’t resemble Huo Wen’an much, but looked strikingly like Song Chi, as the two were true brothers after all.

Xu Xingguang took a few more glances at the little boy at the back of the photo.

The boy was tall and sturdy, with light brown hair, giving him a mixed-race appearance.

Xu Xingguang instantly recognized it as a young Jiang Heng. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Putting away the photo, Ye Mingluo sighed, "Huo Wei sure is ruthless, not only deceiving Old Sir Huo but also hiding from Huo Qinyou. Even when the truth came out later, he didn’t confess the truth when Old Sir Huo mistook A Zui’s identity."

"That’s ruthless."

"Which Huo Family member isn’t ruthless?" Xu Xingguang sneered, "Earlier in the Moon Palace, I heard Old Sir Huo say he promised Ms. Huo Zhiyin not to trouble Huo Wei anymore. I really thought he’d softened with age."

"Looking at it now, who knows if it was out of guilt that he agreed?"

Shaking his head, Xu Xingguang mused, "Every member of the Huo Family is a tough character." Rubbing her arms, Xu Xingguang told Ye Mingluo, "Dealing with the Huo Family in the future, be sure to stay vigilant."

Ye Mingluo suspiciously fell silent for a moment, then pointed out, "But Master, you plan to marry the Young Master of the Huo Family."

Xu Xingguang immediately switched to a serious demeanor, saying without hesitation, "A Zui is different, A Zui is the only kind and sweet one on Divine Concealment Island."

Ye Mingluo: "..."

Double standards dog.

Ye Mingluo ridiculed Xu Xingguang, "Ask the people on Divine Concealment Island, see who agrees with what you just said?"

Xu Xingguang felt a bit guilty too, she subtly changed the subject. "So, the three children kidnapped by Rashomon back then must have been Song Chi and Huo Qinyou’s biological son, and the child of the butler Belial."

Thinking of Huo Canghai pretending not to recognize Jiang Heng, Xu Xingguang was even more convinced Jiang Heng was Belial’s child.

In hindsight, when Huo Canghai didn’t kill Jiang Heng on the spot that year, he must have been merciful. He likely avoided blood on his hands, fearing retaliation on his son.

Otherwise, Jiang Heng would have been beheaded long ago.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingguang asked Ye Mingluo, "Is Jiang Heng still on the island?"

Ye Mingluo replied, "Seems he hasn’t left, still staying at the guest building. I heard from Zheng Qin that lately he’s been inquiring about matters of the Moon Palace, not sure what scheming he’s up to." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Heh, he truly won’t cry until he sees the coffin.

Ye Mingluo was puzzled, he asked Xu Xingguang, "Why are you so concerned about Jiang Heng?"

"Jiang Heng, he’s Belial’s child."

Ye Mingluo jumped up immediately. "Whoa!"

Calming the storm within his heart, Ye Mingluo sat back on the bench, lowering his voice to ask Xu Xingguang, "So, Jiang Heng is the son of the Rashomon Sect Leader?"

"Mm."

Ye Mingluo thought carefully about this matter and then frowned, saying, "Then why is he always asking about matters of the Moon Palace?"

Xu Xingguang revealed even heavier news, saying, "I deliberately spread false information before, misleading Jiang Heng, making him think Belial is Old Sir Huo’s mistress."

Ye Mingluo: "..."

"So Jiang Heng thinks he’s the son of Belial and Old Sir Huo?" Ye Mingluo was quite shocked, incredulously saying, "It looks like our Crown Prince wandering outside wants to return to the palace to be a prince?"
