119: Chapter 119 The Person Behind the Fake Huo Liang 1

"How about this, Young Master Huo, sell yourself to me? Not for much, just ten years. You'll work for me during that time." Gao Ying needed talent right now, and Huo Yunci was a good candidate.

"I can do that. It would be my honor to work for Miss Gao." Huo Yunci agreed without even considering it.

He had a premonition that those documents were very important.

"Heartless, have Young Master Huo sign a contract." Gao Ying tilted her chin toward Heartless.

"Young Master Huo, please." Heartless handed him the contract and a pen.

Huo Yunci didn't even look at it; he flipped directly to the last page and signed his name.

"Young Master Huo is straightforward. These are the documents I found with great difficulty. I hope you don't get too emotional after reading them." Gao Ying showed him the documents.

As Huo Yunci looked at the documents, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes filled with anger and self-reproach.

He was angry that his current father was actually someone else in disguise, and he reproached himself for not even recognizing his own father.

"Do you know who might have a grudge against the Huo Family?" Gao Ying asked.

"I don't know. I was still young then. I only know that after my father went out once, he became distant toward me. I thought I wasn't doing well enough, so I studied very hard.

But what I got in return was him marrying another woman. From then on, the distance between us grew further and further.

When I was in school, I lived in an apartment outside and rarely had contact with them," Huo Yunci recalled.

"I wonder if Kong Liuzhu has noticed anything about the current Huo Liang."

Initially, she only knew that Kong Liuzhu was the stepmother Madam Huo had found for Huo Yunci.

But now things were getting more and more complicated, and it was unclear what role Kong Liuzhu played in all of this.

【Sister, look for me! No matter who they are or what their identity is, I'll investigate everything clearly for you.】 Fugui spoke up anxiously.

"I know finding you is faster, but my methods aren't bad now either. See, didn't I still uncover this Huo Liang's identity that had been hidden for years?

You wouldn't understand the feeling of that moment when a secret is cracked." Gao Ying refused his help.

【But if this continues, I'll feel like I'm useless.】 Fugui said while whimpering.

"How could that be? After all, I still have to rely on you for the daily tasks and side quests.

No matter what, you will always be the most important in my heart. Be good, be a little quieter." For Fugui, Gao Ying just needed to coax him.

"I haven't had much contact with Kong Liuzhu. Could I trouble Miss Gao to help me investigate her? I can add another five years on top of those ten years." Huo Yunci looked at her while holding the contract.

"I can do that." Obtaining five more years of free labor just by moving her fingers—why not?

Gao Ying began to investigate Kong Liuzhu's computer.

Upon looking, she really did discover some issues.

There wasn't anything too complex on Kong Liuzhu's computer, so the unlocking speed was very fast.

Inside, there was only one encrypted file.

After cracking the password, she found a diary inside.

It recorded the events that happened every day.

Starting from the time she was being sponsored.

The beginning was all gratitude toward Madam Huo.

The later parts were about marrying Huo Liang according to Madam Huo's wishes.

The words regarding Huo Yunci all revealed concern.

Until one diary entry recorded the matter of Huo Liang's identity.

【Today Huo Liang got drunk. I brought him home. Huo Liang is a very cautious person; even when drunk, he never talks nonsense.

But today he spoke nonsense. He said he was just a chess piece, being controlled by someone from behind.

I also heard a piece of explosive information. He said he isn't Huo Liang; the real Huo Liang is already dead.

I was very scared. I quickly fled the bedroom and stayed awake in the guest room until dawn.】

What followed were her diary entries about cautiously investigating this Fake Huo Liang.

"Do you think Kong Liuzhu has been targeted?" After finishing the diary, Gao Ying looked at the two men and asked.

"She's definitely been targeted. This password is very easy to crack. I just don't know why this Fake Huo Liang hasn't made a move against Kong Liuzhu?" Huo Yunci didn't think this Fake Huo Liang had any sort of conscience.

"Sometimes, you don't need to get rid of an obstacle; you can also convey some false information to that obstacle," Heartless spoke his thoughts.

"Do you want to tell Kong Liuzhu?" Gao Ying asked Huo Yunci.

Huo Yunci thought of how Kong Liuzhu was, after all, the person his mother had entrusted to take care of him, so he decided to let her stay away from this place of trouble.

"Tell her. Let her take Huo Ling and leave early. Miss Gao, I might have to ask for your help with this.

I don't know what kind of power is behind Huo Liang. I'm afraid of alerting the enemy."

"No problem. Making someone leave quietly is very simple." Gao Ying had expected his choice.

A short while later, Xi Yan and Lou Jingyao returned together.

"Baby, did you miss me?" Lou Jingyao went up and hugged her, planting a fierce kiss on her lips.

"Who was it that said they wouldn't come to my place recently and would solve everything before appearing before me?" Gao Ying pretended to be disgusted as she pushed him away.

"It can't be helped. This heart of mine misses baby so much; it kept urging me to come see you, otherwise it would go on strike." Lou Jingyao took her hand and placed it on his chest, looking at her very sincerely.

"Heartless, pull him away. He's too greasy; I can't stand it." Gao Ying shook off the goosebumps on her body and stood up to sit next to Xi Yan.

Xi Yan naturally pulled her into his arms. Looking at his brother's resentful face, he was in a very good mood.

"Why are you back? Didn't Heartless say you were going to pull an all-nighter?" Gao Ying asked while hugging Xi Yan's waist.

"We came back immediately after seeing the documents you sent. I expect Bai Jue should be arriving soon too."

Speak of the devil; just as Xi Yan finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

"Miss Gao, thank you for the documents. My father insisted that I come to thank you in person." Bai Jue arrived with a gift.

"Chairman Bai is too polite. I only did this for Ah Yan and Jingyao; the Bai Family was just incidental." Gao Ying's words were very blunt.

"Of course, I still have that much self-awareness. Regardless of whether it was incidental, I am very grateful for the documents you provided." Bai Jue didn't feel that her words were disrespectful.

After all, her strength was right there, and he really was just incidental.

"Young Master Huo, it's up to you to decide whether or not to tell them about that matter." Gao Ying looked at the consistently silent Huo Yunci.

Except for Heartless, the other three men all turned their gazes toward him.

"This is the reason Miss Gao asked me to come over." Huo Yunci showed them the information on the Fake Huo Liang.

The three of them looked at the documents with solemn expressions.

"There's no news at all about the person behind this?" Lou Jingyao looked at Huo Yunci.

Since the Huo Family was the primary target, the Huo Family should have some clues.

"No. I was still small back then. I have no idea who my dad or grandfather might have offended," Huo Yunci said, shaking his head.

"So this is something caused by the Huo Family's ancestors, and now someone has come for revenge?" Lou Jingyao thought for a moment and gave this conclusion.

"Not bad, you have quite a few wild plots in your head, but you don't need to be that imaginative.

Perhaps the person behind this doesn't have a grudge against the Huo Family specifically, but is targeting your four top-tier families of the Imperial Capital." This was Gao Ying's guess.
