Chapter 147: The Huo Family’s Mansion

Huo Xuan placed a hand on the table and pondered for a moment. He then looked at Xu Huan coldly and said, “Send a message to the Dark Department. Tell them to transfer everyone who hasn’t taken on any missions to Beijing by Monday.”

Xu Huan was shocked when he heard this. He could not be bothered to swallow the rice in his mouth. He quickly asked, “All of them? What do we do with Southeast Asia if they are all transferred to Beijing? Bureau X’s situation is not too stable now. In addition, the encirclement of Black Tiger this morning had failed. If the secret department is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Huo Xuan’s hands didn’t stop moving. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “Let them put aside the things they have on hand for the time being and settle this thorny situation in Beijing first.”

Seeing Huo Xuan’s firm attitude, although Xu Huan was a little worried about his arrangements, he still chose to believe in the man. He pursed his lips and replied, “Alright then, I’ll make the arrangements later. I’ll tell them to gather in Beijing and be on standby at any time.”

He looked up and turned his gaze to the door of a room on the second floor. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled gently. “Let’s go to Beijing tomorrow and ask Mo Wu to prepare three tickets.”

“Three tickets?” Xu Huan did not understand what the man meant. He glanced at Huo Xuan and asked, “Why would you buy three tickets? If you want to accompany Little Bamboo, why did you ask Mo Wu to be the third wheel?”

Huo Xuan sneered angrily and stared at Xu Huan as if he was looking at an idiot. “The other ticket is for you.”

Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Xu Huan’s hand that was about to drink the soup suddenly paused. He looked at the man with a resentful expression and said pitifully, “No way, Brother Huo. That second uncle of yours from Beijing is not easy to deal with. Did you bring me there to use me to distract him?”

Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally and lowered his head, not continuing the conversation.

The next morning.

At dawn, Mo Zhu packed up her backpack and prepared to leave for Beijing. She was just about to inform Huo Xuan after breakfast when she saw Xu Huan standing at the entrance, greeting her with a smile.

“Little Bamboo, you’re up so early. Did you sleep well last night?”

Seeing Xu Huan appear at the Huo residence so early, Mo Zhu looked up in confusion and asked, “Why are you here so early today? Do you have any important documents for Huo Xuan to sign?”

Xu Huan was not angry when he heard Mo Zhu’s irrelevant answer. He went straight to the dining room and pulled out a chair skillfully before sitting down at the table and waited for breakfast. “Nothing much, I just wanted to have breakfast.”

At this moment, Huo Xuan also walked down slowly from upstairs. He ladled the food that the chef had sent over earlier into a bowl and placed it on the table. He looked at Mo Zhu and smiled. “Hurry up and eat. Let’s set off to Beijing together later. I’ve already instructed Mo Wu to buy the tickets.”

Mo Zhu looked up and glanced at Huo Xuan in surprise. “You guys are going to Beijing too?”

“Yes, it just so happens that I have something on in Beijing that I need to make a trip there personally.” Huo Xuan’s voice was soft. When he was facing Mo Zhu, the coldness on his body was deliberately restrained.

Mo Zhu nodded lightly when she heard this and obediently ate her breakfast.

Not long later, the three of them were done eating. After Uncle Zhang stopped the car at the entrance, they carried their backpacks and got into the car.
