Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1784: Chapter 1686: Contraband

Xiao Fan is a fan of Huo Sining, so he naturally pays close attention to news about her.

Although the media didn’t dare to reveal Huo Sining’s specific identity, like being Chief Lu’s god-granddaughter, her wedding with Gu Xu was attended by guests whose presence was disclosed. Chief Lu, Qin Lianshan, Lu Zhenghang all made appearances, and the media dug deep into the Gu Family’s background. All of Huo Sining’s fans know that she married into a top-notch red hereditary family, one of the elite even in the Imperial Capital.

So Xiao Fan knows very well that, just because of the protection from the Gu Family, Zhao Si wouldn’t dare to do anything to Huo Sining, unless he doesn’t want to work at the Bureau of Justice anymore.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt quite pleased and was very much looking forward to seeing what Zhao Si’s expression would be like once he learned of Huo Sining’s identity.

It would certainly be spectacular.

Xiao Fan imagined Zhao Si changing from arrogant and rude to submissive and fawning, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The other kids didn’t understand Xiao Fan’s thoughts. Seeing him not worried about Huo Sining at all but instead smiling, they immediately got angry:

”Fantong, what do you mean by that? Even if we are strangers to the beautiful sister, she saved our teacher. We can’t stand by and do nothing!”

”Exactly, the beautiful sister has been so good to us; we can’t just watch her get harmed by Zhao Si!”

”At worst, we’ll fight that Zhao Si. Even if we can’t beat him, we’ll take a few down with us!”

Seeing a few of his companions rolling up their sleeves ready to fight, Xiao Fan was utterly speechless:

”What are you talking about? Can’t you hear? I said, with the beautiful sister’s identity, Zhao Si wouldn’t dare to provoke her. Do you not understand that?”

As soon as he said this, his companions turned to look at him in suspicion.

Seeing the serious look on Xiao Fan’s face, not joking, his companions were taken aback, hearing something was off in his words.

”Fantong, what do you mean by that? Who exactly is the beautiful sister, and why wouldn’t Zhao Si dare to provoke her?”

Xiao Fan smiled mysteriously and said, ”It’s none of your concern who she is. What matters is that Zhao Si simply can’t mess with her, so stop worrying and get on with whatever you’re supposed to be doing!”

The kids listened to Xiao Fan and seemed half-convinced.

But seeing the serious expression on Xiao Fan’s face, they couldn’t help but believe him.

The kids stared at Xiao Fan and then turned their gaze to Huo Sining nearby, still bewildered.

Everyone was waiting for Zhao Si to bring people over, but Huo Sining acted like nothing was happening. After performing emergency wound treatment on a previous casualty, she led her team of kids back into the hotel ruins to rescue more people.

By evening, the rescue unit from the military region had finally arrived at the disaster area. Huo Sining’s makeshift rescue team was almost spent, and the emergency medical bottles in their backpacks were nearly all used up.

A group of people fell exhausted onto the ground but felt very satisfied.

In one afternoon, they saved over twenty people. Huo Sining also spent much of her spiritual energy, and because they were busy without stopping, all five were tired and pale but none complained about being exhausted.

”Sister Huo, you’re amazing!”

The kids looked at Huo Sining with admiration. Her quick and efficient methods, and decisive command during the rescue efforts, saved them a lot of unnecessary work and successfully rescued many buried in the ruins.

Especially Xiao Fan, who was so close to his idol and unexpectedly found that she knew not only treasure appraisal, magic, and gambling but also rescue. Xiao Fan, for the first time, felt that his idol was not only versatile but also calm and steady, truly a great talent.

It was Xiao Fan’s first time being so close to a star, but Huo Sining gave him a sense not of distance but of someone real, with a kind heart. This strengthened his resolve to follow his goddess’s footsteps, not to waste his studies, and to become a knowledgeable and cultured fan.

During these few short hours of rescue, Huo Sining also had a much better impression of these kids.

Though they seemed naive, in the matter of saving people, none shirked their duties, and everyone gave their all, proving these kids were kind-hearted without any ulterior motives.

However, what disappointed Huo Sining was that during her rescue operations at the hotel with these four kids, she really wanted to find Zheng Lixiang and Xie Yuxing, but to her dismay, none of the twenty-odd survivors pulled from the rubble were from ”The Legend of the Mermaid” crew.

Currently, Huo Sining’s Heavenly Eye could see within a radius of several dozen meters, and after scanning through the hotel, she realized that Zheng Lixiang, Xie Yuxing, and the others didn’t seem to be buried in the hotel ruins. She scanned the hotel ruins no fewer than ten times and was sure she saw no sign of them.

This made Huo Sining feel a bit tense but also gave her a sliver of hope.

No news might be the best news. Nobody under the ruins meant that Sister Xing and the others were not at the hotel. Perhaps they left the hotel to do something else and just happened to avoid this disaster.

Meishan was in utter chaos, so finding those people would be no easy task for Huo Sining. She could only pray in her heart, hoping Xie Yuxing, Zheng Lixiang, and the others were all alright.

Huo Sining and the kids were resting on the ground, just catching their breath, when suddenly a few men in police uniforms walked over from not far away and stood in front of Huo Sining:

”Hello, we received a report that this afternoon, you had a conflict with Lei Hu, and during the dispute, you used a lethal weapon—a pepper spray—on Lei Hu. Pepper spray is police equipment and requires holding a police badge to be carried around. We suspect you purchased it illegally and hope you can come with us!”

Huo Sining was stunned, seemingly not expecting anyone to pay attention to her pepper spray. But she quickly realized that these police officers were likely sent by Zhao Si.

If they wanted to cause her trouble, they needed a pretext, didn’t they? With Lei Hu being the one who first took hostages, even with all his courage, he wouldn’t dare call the police on her; otherwise, rather than her being punished, he’d get himself in trouble, and Lei Hu wouldn’t be foolish enough to do such a losing deal.

The only explanation is that Zhao Si investigated her, then, knowing what happened that afternoon, seized on the opportunity to find an excuse to bring her into the station!
