428 Xiao Ran’s Father, A Hero’s Life

Huo Xiaoran retorted, “Get lost.”

Huo Zhou was very helpless. “Xiaoran, don’t be like this.”

Huo Xiaoran glared at Huo Zhou. “Do you think my An’an’s life hasn’t been complicated enough?”

Huo Zhou fell silent.

The Xiao father and son also looked very embarrassed.

Qiao An looked at Old Master Xiao with her deer-like eyes. At this moment, she also had something in her heart that she wanted to ask Old Master Xiao.

Qiao An advised Xiao Ran kindly, “Hubby, go out with Cousin first. I have something to ask Old Master Xiao.”

Only then did Huo Xiaoran leave reluctantly.

After the Huo family’s friends, Old Madam Xiao, and Xiao Yue left, Huo Zhou glanced at the hostile-looking Huo Xiaoran and carefully curried favor with him. “Xiaoran, they won’t hurt Qiao An. On the contrary, they will protect Qiao An better.”

Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him. “What do you know? Other than chasing after Lu Qianqian heartlessly and treating her words as an imperial edict, your intelligence is inferior to a three-year-old child in front of her.”

Huo Zhou’s expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with sadness.

Old Madam Huo told Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, stop scolding Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou hasn’t been doing well these past two days.”

Although Huo Xiaoran hated Huo Zhou’s unclear personality, he was still a brother who shared his joy and sorrow. He could not bear to see Zhou Zhou suffer. He asked him in disappointment, “What happened?”

With his concern for Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou’s expression instantly lit up. “Qianqian has been missing for a few days. A few days ago, your Li family had a funeral. We knew that you were busy and didn’t dare to disturb you.”

Huo Xiaoran looked puzzled. “Missing?”

Then, he connected the matter of Qiao An’s kidnapping. Huo Xiaoran felt that the two things must be related. He sneered and said, “She disappeared at the right time.”

Huo Zhou had deep feelings for Lu Qianqian and was a little dissatisfied with Huo Xiaoran’s teasing. “Xiaoran, don’t hit her when she’s down.”

Huo Xiaoran was speechless. “Huo Zhou, you’re really hopeless.”

In the ward, Old Master Xiao sat in front of the bed while his son stood at the side like a white poplar. As for Qiao An, she sat on the bed with a faint smile on her fair face.

“Grandpa, Uncle, if you came today for business, Qiao An will definitely tell you everything she knows. But if you came today for personal reasons, I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Old Master Xiao was stunned for a long time before he laughed heartily. “Qiao An, Qiao An, so I underestimated you.”

Old Master Xiao gave his son a look, and Xiao Yue’s father immediately took out their credentials.

Unexpectedly, Qiao An took them and checked them thoroughly. Even their police numbers had to be checked. Then, she returned them respectfully.

Old Master Xiao said, “Qiao An, the person who kidnapped you this time is from the Chinese branch of an international drug cartel. He has committed a heinous crime. Although we’ve captured a portion of them, they’re all small leaders. I heard that their boss has already fled. Have you seen that person?”

Qiao An fell into hesitation. She glanced at Old Master Xiao, and a conflicted look flashed across her eyes.

The person they were looking for was definitely that man if she was not wrong. The man who had run away with her help.

He was Xiaoran’s biological father.

He was also an undercover police officer with police identification number 9557. However, she had to confirm if he was really an undercover officer.

And Qiao An knew that only a few people knew the identity of the undercover. With the differences in ages between Xiao Yue’s father and Xiaoran’s father, these two people in front of her might not know Xiaoran’s father’s undercover identity. If she said it, they would definitely not believe her. At that time, it would cause Xiaoran’s father a lot of trouble.

“I want to know police number of the undercover in the drug cartel.” Qiao An whispered.

Xiao Yue’s father was amused by her ignorance. “Qiao An, do you know what you’re talking about? We don’t have an undercover agent inside. Even if we do, it’s a top-secret file. How can we tell an outsider like you?”

Qiao An’s gaze landed on Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao’s eyes were deep and sharp.

“Go out first,” he suddenly instructed his son.

Xiao Yue’s father was stunned. He might have realized that something was amiss and his suspicious gaze lingered on Qiao An and Old Master.

In the end, he turned around and left decisively.

When the people outside saw Xiao Yue’s father coming out, they all revealed surprised expressions.

“Uncle, what’s going on?” Huo Zhou asked in surprise.

Xiao Yue’s father glared at him, and Huo Zhou shut up resentfully. Xiao Yue’s father glanced at Huo Xiaoran again. Seeing that his expression was normal, he knew that he must know some inside information.

He pulled Xiaoran aside and asked, “Xiaoran, let me ask you, what has Qiao An experienced in the past few years?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “If I could let you know, why would they chase you out?”

Xiao Yue’s father was speechless.

In the ward, Old Master Xiao said earnestly, “Qiao An, I’ve long suspected that you’re related to the drug cartel. Some time ago, you kept pushing Qianqian around, making me suspect that you might be their informant. But now, I’m more willing to believe that you’re the victim.”

Qiao An looked at him steadily, her deer-like eyes shining with determination.

Old Master Xiao continued, “I want to know why they schemed to capture you?”

Qiao An didn’t answer his question directly. She just asked him, “I just want to know if there’s an undercover inside.”

Old Master Xiao nodded solemnly under her scrutinizing gaze. “Did you meet him?”

“What’s his police number?”

Old Master Xiao studied Qiao An’s face. It was obvious that he did not trust Qiao An to keep his secret.

Qiao An said, “But it starts with a 9?”

Old Master Xiao looked surprised and said, “95…”

Qiao An smiled. “955…”

Old Master Xiao made the final decision. “7.”

Tears welled up in Qiao An’s eyes.

The man she saw was indeed Xiaoran’s father, that irresponsible man who was thought to have abandoned his wife and son and made people grit their teeth. It turned out that he had always protected his country.

Old Master Xiao looked at Qiao An and gently patted her back. “Qiao An, don’t tell Xiaoran about this.”

Qiao An suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with tears and anger. “So you’ve always known that Xiaoran is his child? How could you let his child live so hard?”

Old Master Xiao said, “Qiao An, Falcon entrusted the mother and son to me, but I only found out that they had come to the capital after a long time. In order to keep this promise, I transferred my job to the capital. At that time, Xiaoran’s mother had already left. I also regret that I came late.”
