Trust Zaizai, It Can't Be Wrong

The four of them headed straight to Lu Lanlan's house.

Lu Lanlan's house was located outside the Fifth Ring Road in a very old residential area.

The car couldn't enter the area at all, so Bai Mingxu parked the car at the entrance of the residential area. Huo Sijue carried the Milky Dumpling and got out of the car, while Bai Mingxu and Huo Sichen walked into the residential area together.

The Milky Dumpling rubbed her eyes and Huo Sijue thought she was tired, so he gently patted her back.

"If you're sleepy, Zaizai can go to sleep. Second Brother will hold you."

The Milky Dumpling wasn't sleepy at all. She used the power that didn't belong to the human realm.

This place was weird, but she didn't see any black shadows.

It was too clean!

She didn't understand many things in human society, but she knew the living habits of the residents of the underworld very well.

Sister Lu had just committed suicide these past few days, and the photo was taken in her own bathroom.

Life is precious!

Suicide is equivalent to disrespecting life, and in the underworld, it would be punished!

According to normal circumstances, the underworld would definitely arrange for the arrival of officials to guide her. However, there was no trace of any information from the underworld here, which was suspicious.

The Milky Dumpling yawned; her eyes misty.

Her voice was soft and tired.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Huo Sijue looked at the Milky Dumpling, who trusted him, and a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes, which were filled with resentment after being plotted against.

"Zaizai, be a good girl and go to sleep."

Bai Mingxu looked around and couldn't find anything suspicious.

"It's really strange."

Huo Sichen frowned, "What's strange, Mingxu?"

Bai Mingxu carefully looked around, not missing a single detail.

"Take a closer look, everything around here is too clean."

Because he could communicate with the Yin and Yang realms, Bai Mingxu, despite his young age, knew how busy the underworld was nowadays.

But no matter how busy they were, as long as someone died in the human world, whether it was an unexpected accident or a suicide, the underworld would have officials immediately rush over for guidance.

Lu Lanlan committed suicide yesterday, and the officials from the underworld came to guide her yesterday.

But there was no trace left by the officials from the underworld here, which was suspicious.

Someone had tampered with things here.

Although Huo Sijue didn't understand all of this, he had truly gained insight tonight and immediately thought of something.

"The Zhang family knows that our Huo family has a good relationship with your Bai family, so they will definitely cover up all the traces, including the dead Lu Lanlan!"

Bai Mingxu's expression became solemn, "You guys go back to the car, I..."

The Milky Dumpling, who was pretending to sleep in Huo Sijue's arms, suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his collar.

"Second Brother, Zaizai knows where Sister Lu is."

Bai Mingxu, Huo Sijue, and Huo Sichen all looked at her.

"Zaizai knows?"

The Milky Dumpling nodded obediently, and her chubby little face became extremely serious.

"She's in the Zhang family's villa! She's been trapped in a little jar!"

Bai Mingxu, Huo Sijue, and Huo Sichen: "..."

Although what the Milky Dumpling said sounded like a baseless rumor, complete nonsense, there was indeed something wrong here, and the Zhang family was the prime suspect.

Huo Sijue glanced at the time, "Let's go back to the Bai house first. We'll go to the Zhang family after daybreak."

The Milky Dumpling blinked her watery eyes, full of anticipation.

"Why do we have to wait until daybreak, Second Brother?"

Huo Sijue touched her little head, "Because it's too late, Zaizai, you must go to sleep!"

The Milky Dumpling said, "Zaizai doesn't have to sleep at night! Zaizai can sleep during the day!"

Bai Mingxu asked her, "Is Lu Lanlan in danger?"

The Milky Dumpling shook her head, "No, she's just trapped."

Huo Sichen curiously looked at his little sister, "Zaizai, how do you know?"

She couldn't say that!

The Milky Dumpling was at a loss for words, blinked her big eyes, and started to act cute.

Her cheeks puffed up, and her childish voice became even softer and more tender, pleasing to the ear.

"Zaizai had a dream just now, and that's what she dreamed of!"

Huo Sichen: "..."

Should they believe it or not?

But Bai Mingxu and Huo Sijue nodded without hesitation, "Zaizai, we believe you."

The Milky Dumpling was happy!

She grinned and giggled.

"Trust Zaizai, she can't be wrong! Zaizai's dreams are always accurate!"

The four children set off again and returned to the Bai house, waiting for daybreak.

The next morning, while the four children were still asleep, the Huo Manor became lively because the Zhang family had arrived.

Zhang Guodong, the elder uncle of the Zhang family, arrived with his sister Zhang Jing, who had originally been recuperating in the hospital. As soon as they entered, their faces turned grim.

"Huo Chenling, is this how you take care of our Little Ning?" Zhang Guodong questioned with a stern expression.

Zhang Guolin, the second uncle of the Zhang family, smiled insincerely, "That's right. No matter what, Little Ning has given birth to three sons for you. Even though she didn't contribute anything and you adopted an unrelated orphan girl without even informing her, why did you allow that girl to beat her? What did she do to deserve this?"

The Zhang family came with a strong force, and Zhang Jing, with a pale face, appeared particularly weak.

She couldn't control her tears as she gently but firmly defended Huo Chenling.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I asked you to bring me back, not to interfere in my family matters."

Zhang Guodong, Zhang Guolin, and Zhang Jing echoed each other's sentiments, not giving Huo Chenling a chance to speak. They had already condemned the orphan girl he had adopted, Ming Zaizai.

"It's all because of that orphan girl's mischief!"

Zhang Jing quickly defended, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Ming Zaizai is only three and a half years old. She doesn't understand anything. She didn't hit me on purpose."

Zhang Guolin frowned discontentedly, "Chenling, not to criticize you, but if you really love having a daughter, you and Little Ning are still young. Why don't you have a child of your own?"

Huo Chenling, who had been silent all along, glanced indifferently at the three siblings of the Zhang family. His voice was cold and imposing.

"Little Ning? It's surprising that you still remember her!"

Zhang Guodong felt a tremor in his heart but thought that their plan was flawless. He coldly looked at Huo Chenling.

"Chenling, what do you mean by that? Little Ning is standing right here!"

Zhang Guolin chimed in, "That's right! Chenling, your words are hurting Little Ning's heart."

Huo Chenling looked at Butler Luo with a glance of understanding. Luo raised his hand, and the living room door quickly closed. Not only did the living room door close, but the gates of the Huo Manor also closed.

The Zhang siblings sensed that something was wrong and quickly exchanged glances.

Zhang Jing weakly walked up to Huo Chenling and tried to hold his hand.

"Chenling, what are you doing?"

Huo Chenling's gaze towards her was unusually cold, avoiding her touch and not hiding his disgust towards her.

"What am I doing?"

He smiled coldly, completely indifferent.

"Closing the door and catching the dog!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Guodong was so angry that he nearly jumped.

"Huo Chenling, watch your words! Regardless, we are still your brothers-in-law! We are the biological uncles of your three sons!"

Huo Chenling sarcastically added, "And their aunt?"

Zhang Jing's heart trembled, and she almost couldn't stand, hastily supporting herself on the nearby sofa backrest.

"Chenling, what are you saying? I am your wife, Zhang Ning. Little Jing... she died in a car accident three months ago."

Huo Chenling couldn't be bothered to waste time watching their performance. He looked at Jiang Lin, who had been waiting nearby.

"Show them."

Jiang Lin stepped forward, "Yes!"

As the Zhang siblings observed the situation, they felt a tinge of unease. However, they remembered that their father had paid a high price to hire an expert who had repeatedly guaranteed that there would be no problems. During this period, Huo Chenling had been accommodating to the Zhang family's requests in his work, even more so than when Zhang Ning was alive. They believed that Huo Chenling might have heard something and was now just trying to deceive them.

As long as they stabilized the situation, soon the entire Huo Corporation would be theirs.
