Especially when he was facing this person who was totally out of his expectations; he could not respond at all.
The small figure opposite him was watching him seriously, his eyes wrought with guilt.
Huo Jinyan’s mouth felt dry.
There was only one question in his mind.
He would hardly have suspected him.
He should know this very well.
He could have used his identity as a child to hide from all his investigations and observe him without being discovered. No one would be the wiser.
Huo Jinyan realized that Lu Jingzhi must have known from the beginning that he was here for him. Yet, he had been hiding for so long without saying anything. However, now he had suddenly revealed this secret when nothing had happened.
What’s the reason?
A child, acting on a childish impulse?
Impossible.
He no longer had the mentality of a child when he was able to do these things.
He definitely would not behave like some impulsive child now.
Huo Jinyan stared at Lu Jingzhi with a dark gaze.
His big round eyes met Huo Jinyan’s without a trace of fear.
He even apologized again sincerely, “I’m sorry.”
However, no matter how sincere he was, he had certainly put Huo Jinyan and Old Master Huo in danger several times.
Huo Jinyan stared at him for a long time before speaking.
His voice was cold and hard. “Why tell me?”
Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment and understood what he meant.
He had no intention of hiding it, and since he had already told him half of it, he might as well tell him all of it.
“Because of my sister.”
Lu Jingzhi spoke softly.
He kept his eyes on Huo Jinyan without blinking.
Huo Jinyan also looked at him. “Lu Ning?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded.
“Sister said that she doesn’t want you to get injured again and wants you to be safe. However, you don’t seem like the sort to pay attention to her reminder. On the other hand, you might listen if you hear what I have to say.” Huo Jinyan was stunned, and something flashed in his eyes. Lu Jingzhi continued, “At dawn three days later, at your residence.”
He mentioned the time and place without any other details.
But it was enough.
Huo Jinyan looked at the child and did not speak for a long time. He swallowed hard.
As he was not speaking, Lu Jingzhi did not quite understand what his expression was supposed to mean. He turned to look at the crowd outside the window, then looked at Huo Jinyan. “Uncle Huo, I’ll leave first.”
He reached for his school bag.
Huo Jinyan stopped him. “Wait.”
Lu Jingzhi turned around to look at him.
“Did your sister really say that?”
Lu Jingzhi was a little surprised.
Huo Jinyan said again, “Did she really say that she didn’t want me to get hurt?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. “If my sister didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to tell you these things. 1 don’t want her to be sad.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his bag and hopped down from his seat. After slinging the bag across his shoulders, he turned to leave. However, after two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around.
This time, he walked directly to Huo Jinyan’s side and looked at him. “If you want to settle the score, look for me. Don’t hold Sister accountable for what I did, she doesn’t know anything. 1 did those things before she even came, so you have no reason to bully her for it.”
Huo Jinyan looked at her, his gaze softening. “l won’t bully her.”
His eyes were earnest and serious.
Lu Jingzhi looked at him. “Thank you.”
Then, he took two steps back and bowed to him. After glancing at Huo Jinvan, he turned to leave.
Huo Jinyan looked at his back and sighed slightly as he sat in his seat. Before, when he came to look for Z, his mind was filled with anger…
