Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

After interrogating Song Chi’s identity, Xu Xingguang relayed Song Chi’s situation to Huo Wen’an, asking him to help investigate Song Chi’s background.

That night, Huo Wen’an obtained the answer Xu Xingguang was looking for.

Huo Wen’an sent her an organized document, which detailed the birth and destruction of a dark organization called ’Rashomon’.

Xu Xingguang read the document carefully and gained a clear understanding of Rashomon.

’Rashomon’ is a dark organization, notorious for their evil deeds and daring to go against all major powers in the world, even the Great Sheep Country suffered damages caused by Rashomon.

About 22 years ago, the sect leader of ’Rashomon’ secretly orchestrated a global kidnapping case that shocked the world.

Single-handedly, he kidnapped the heirs of one hundred top noble and wealthy families worldwide overnight.

Most of these heirs were young and immature children.

In that kidnapping case, two children from the Huo Family were kidnapped.

One was Huo Canghai’s youngest child, Huo Lanyue, whom the Old Helmsman loved the most, and the other was the Old Helmsman’s eldest grandson, Huo Wenbei.

In addition, heirs from several families in Xia Country were also kidnapped, including the only son of West Continent City’s richest man, Jiang Mantian.

The sect leader of Rashomon intended to use these children to restrain the forces behind them, forcing them to cooperate with him.

But noble families and wealthy clans, having withstood many trials and tribulations, how could they allow their centuries-old foundations to be destroyed by a young heir overnight?

To protect their family’s interests, these hundred families, after deliberation, decided to forsake the lives of their young heirs.

The Rashomon sect leader, seeing his plan fail, in a fit of rage, slaughtered those children in one fell swoop.

Not only that, he filmed the bloody scenes of him slaughtering the young heirs, made it into a video, and sent it to each family to let them witness the deaths of their loved ones.

Huo Lanyue and Huo Wenbei both perished in this kidnapping incident.

This incident became a disgrace to the Huo Family and other victimized families.

With the joint efforts of a hundred families, after more than ten years, they finally found Rashomon’s old lair, flattening the entire snow mountain where their base was located.

After reading the document, Xu Xingguang called Huo Wen’an.

She asked Huo Wen’an, ”Do you think this man named Song Chi might very well be a remnant of the Rashomon organization?”

Huo Wen’an indeed had this suspicion.

”Most likely, how old is this man named Song Chi?”

Xu Xingguang rubbed her temple and said with a sigh, ”His memory loss is severe and he doesn’t remember his exact age. But I think he should be about the same age as you.”

Upon hearing that Song Chi is about the same age as himself, Huo Wen’an formed an even bolder hypothesis.

He said, ”Song Chi might not necessarily be a remnant of the Rashomon organization; he could more likely be one of the lucky ones who survived from the children Rashomon kidnapped from the hundred families.”

”You and I thought of the same thing,” Xu Xingguang agreed with Huo Wen’an’s suspicion. ”I will persuade Song Chi to do an identity verification.”

”Mm.”

After discussing the business, Huo Wen’an wanted to ask about personal matters. ”You saved him, I won’t speak on that. But I heard from Cheng Shiguang that you also kept him by your side? Where is he staying now?”

The thought of that guy potentially staying in Xu Xingguang’s small house drove Huo Wen’an mad with jealousy.

He hadn’t even stayed at Xu Xingguang’s home yet.

Xu Xingguang sensed Huo Wen’an’s jealousy and said with a laugh, ”Don’t worry, only you as the opposite sex is allowed into my home. I’ve arranged for Song Chi to stay at your place, in your mother’s room, is that alright with you?”

Xu Xingguang was a sensible person, engaged, so she naturally couldn’t bring a single man to her own house.

Knowing that Song Chi was staying at his place, Huo Wen’an felt somewhat relieved.

”Let him stay there,” as long as Song Chi wasn’t staying in Xu Xingguang’s house, Huo Wen’an had no objections.

Xu Xingguang then asked Huo Wen’an, ”You mentioned earlier, Jiang Heng was also kidnapped?”

Huo Wen’an said, ”Jiang Heng was indeed kidnapped, but he is not the only son of Jiang Mantian who was kidnapped.”

This statement was a bit convoluted.

It took Xu Xingguang a few seconds to grasp the deeper meaning behind Huo Wen’an’s words. ”Could it be that Jiang Heng isn’t the son of Jiang Mantian who was kidnapped?”

”My Xingguang is indeed smart,” Huo Wen’an felt immense pride seeing Xu Xingguang quickly grasp the truth behind his words.
