Reborn As Super Heiress

Gu Xu asked worriedly:

”Will there be danger? If it’s too risky, I’ll let others try it out. You don’t have to show yourself.”

Huo Sining smiled: ”No worries. I’ve been to Yin Yizhai many times, he won’t be on guard. If a stranger suddenly visits, he might become cautious.”

Gu Xu didn’t say more, nodding in agreement with Huo Sining, but still somewhat worried. He decided in his mind that when his wife goes to meet Lu Huairu, he has to follow her.

Thinking about Lu Huairu, Huo Sining couldn’t help but recall what Su Lan mentioned on the phone:

”Besides Lu Huairu, we have to be concerned about another issue. Although Fujiwara Seiho is dead, it doesn’t mean our crisis has been eliminated.”

”Su Lan told me there’s someone behind Fujiwara Seiho, the head of Iga-ryu. It’s said that this person has been pursuing the secrets of the Jiaoren clan, probably similar to Ge Hong, trying to find the key to immortality through the Jiaoren.”

”These guys set up an ARC Underground Laboratory in the Las Vegas Desert, ostensibly for researching cancer treatment drugs, but in reality, they are conducting live experiments on Jiaoren to extract the substance of immortality from them!”

”Last year, when we attended the auction in Philadelphia, Su Lan and Yan Feng infiltrated that underground lab, rescued a half-mermaid, and blew up the Fujiwara Clan’s research facility.”

Huo Sining’s words shocked everyone in the room, their mouths agape. Conducting live experiments on Jiaoren, they had never heard of such a thing, but just listening felt incredibly cruel.

”These bastards are truly descendants of Dongyang devils, unable to shake off their brutal, cold-blooded nature. Back in Hua Country Liaodong, they conducted live experiments on Hua people and used poisonous gas to kill. Now they use this trick against us. These scumbags should die! No, dying is too easy for them; they should be sliced to pieces!”

Yue Shuwen spoke through gritted teeth.

Compared to Yue Shuwen’s hatred, Qibao was more concerned about Yan Feng’s safety, urgently tugging on Huo Sining’s sleeve and asking anxiously:

”What about big brother? Is he okay? I haven’t seen him for so long. Ever since we parted last time, I haven’t been able to sense his location. He’s too far from me! Blowing up that lab must have been dangerous, right? Did he get hurt? Where is he now? When will he come back?”

Huo Sining, somewhat amused, replied:

”You’re asking so many questions at once; which one should I answer for you?”

”Don’t worry; since Su Lan can take my call, it shows everything is under his control.”

”I’ve already asked. They’re all fine, but the half-mermaid they rescued is in a bad condition. They’re trying to find a way, but they won’t be delayed for too long. They should be back soon.”

With Huo Sining’s words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Sining felt somewhat helpless. These folks completely shifted their focus, but she originally intended to warn them that the people behind the Fujiwara Clan are not simple. With their heir murdered, they certainly won’t let it go, and might mobilize all forces to thoroughly investigate, possibly targeting them and putting them in harm’s way.

But these folks didn’t take it seriously at all, placing no importance on the Fujiwara Family and Iga-ryu’s forces.

Seeming to sense Huo Sining’s inner concern, Gu Xu couldn’t help but reach out to tuck a strand of his wife’s hair behind her ear, smiling:

”Don’t worry, I’m here. Although you’re already quite formidable, remember you still have your husband. If anything happens that you truly can’t handle, I’m here to support you. Even if I’m not enough, the Gu Family still has people who will safeguard all of you. Don’t overthink it.”

Huo Sining always liked to solve things independently, partly due to her character, and partly to avoid burdening Gu Xu. Now, hearing Gu Xu’s words, she was somewhat embarrassed:

”I’m afraid of causing trouble for you. We’re too special, and if discovered and exposed, it won’t just affect us. You’ll undoubtedly face much greater pressure, and might even attract criticism—”

Before finishing her sentence, Gu Xu covered Huo Sining’s mouth, his expression turning stern. He stared at her with unprecedented determination:

”Back then, knowing your identity, I still decided to be with you, predicting the worst that might happen. No matter your identity, wife, you won’t get rid of me in this lifetime.”

”Remember, you’re never a trouble for me. Regardless of what happens, I’ll always be your strong support!”

Gu Xu’s resolute words moved Huo Sining deeply, whereas the surrounding people, forcibly fed a mouthful of dog food, found it quite unpleasant, simply not wanting to witness any more.

Seeing that the two of them, facing each other, were about to perform unsuitable-for-children displays of affection, everyone around couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

”Ugh, my eyes hurt. I’m going to watch TV.” Qibao said irritably.

”Critical hit of ten thousand points. Before you spread dog food, could you give us a heads-up, asking if we’re willing to see it?” Yue Shuwen rolled her eyes, taking the dazed Saiji with her.

”I’ve had enough; I’m flipping this bowl of dog food over. You continue, you continue, I’m leaving!” The little troublemaker Niuniu patted her butt and left too.

Even Zhong Xiaoyao, who couldn’t speak, covered her eyes, blushing fully.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh at these jokesters. What was supposed to be a solemn meeting was disrupted by them and ended hastily.

Due to Saiji’s unique appearance, Yue Shuwen dared not let her leave her private room, only allowing her to stay inside.

Saiji was still quite curious and longing for the human world over a thousand years later, but she was aware of her special condition. Once outside, she couldn’t see the new world, but rather would become a target for capture.

Although feeling regretful, she adhered to the rules Huo Sining explained, staying obediently in the room.

Perhaps noticing Saiji’s curiosity about this world, Yue Shuwen decided to accompany her in the room, even teaching her how to turn on the TV and use the computer, explaining the principles behind TV programs and the internet.

To go into depth, those things could take three days and nights to explain, but being clever, Saiji never asked about their origins or principles. She only knew that the TV programs were like those ancient scripts brought to life by real people.
