When the old housekeeper heard her asking about the eldest lady, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor, and said, "Speaking of which, the eldest lady usually wakes up to exercise at this time, maybe she slept late last night, but I haven't seen her come down today."
Shangguan Tong frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Yu'er has always been a very self-disciplined person, and will not break her living habits just because she goes to bed late.
At this time, Huo Jingfeng walked down from the upstairs slowly, saw the two standing there, approached, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The old butler hastily called Lord Feng, and then explained: "It's nothing, I'm just wondering that Missy hasn't come downstairs today."
When Huo Jingfeng heard it was this, he looked at Shangguantong, with an imperceptible heaviness in his eyes.
He received two messages this morning.
One is the farewell message that the little niece has returned to China, and the other is to let him look after Ah Tong, and he must not let her leave the Huo family, otherwise she will regret it.
He didn't know what his little niece's second message was reminding him of, but in the past few days, he could feel an invisible tacit understanding between Ah Tong and his little niece.
It seems to be an acquaintance I met a long time ago.
Huo Jingfeng restrained his thoughts, and said, "Yaoyao School has a rather urgent experimental project, so I took the plane back to China early in the morning."
Hearing the word returning to the country, Shangguan Tong looked at Huo Jingfeng suddenly, "You said she has returned to the country?"
Seeing her reaction, Huo Jingfeng felt the influence of his little niece's message sink in his heart, but he still nodded: "... yes."
The disappearance of Hei Yu, Yu'er's sudden return to the country... Shangguan Tong's expression changed a few times.
She took a step back and turned to go upstairs.
Huo Jingfeng grabbed her arm, "A Tong?"
Shangguantong turned around, and at this moment, he didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "I have to go back to the country too."
"Why?" Huo Jingfeng's subordinates subconsciously increased their strength.
"Because..." Shangguan Tong met Huo Jingfeng's eyes, and she suppressed the word 'will die'. She looked away, and said with a hint of anxiety in her voice, "I have a reason to go back."
The child returned to the country without warning and took away the black jade. Something must have happened, otherwise he would never have left in such a hurry.
Huo Jingfeng didn't speak, and he didn't let go of his hand, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
At this moment, the doorbell rang outside, and the old housekeeper, who dared not even vent his breath, hurried to open the door as if he had been rescued.
The person who came over was Xiao Xie.
He also had a bag in his hand.
"Master Feng, Miss Tong." Xiao Xie carefully looked at the two of them, sensitively aware of the strange atmosphere lingering in the hall, and secretly thought that he had come at an untimely time.
After a pause, he hastily raised the bag in his hand, "This is the medicinal material that the eldest lady asked for, and she asked me to deliver it this morning."
Shangguantong's eyes fell on the bag, and then he remembered that her whereabouts were being monitored at any time. He couldn't help but looked at Huo Jingfeng again, and said, "Do you know why that child left the Huo family suddenly?"
Huo Jingfeng's throat suddenly became dry, "Why?"
Shangguan Tong's voice was very soft, like a sigh: "Because she was targeted by the first base."
In the next second, Huo Jingfeng held her hand and let go.
**
On the other side of the plane.
"There are still signal frequencies in this world that you can't search for?" Myron hugged the blanket and sat behind Huo Yao without image, smacking his tongue in amazement.
