Chapter 323

enly loosened, my eyes welled up, and I turned my face away.Ho Mingzheng saw her little movements clearly, and his chest felt a dull ache.After hearing Cao Fang's words, Ji Lin sneered and clapped sar...Lan Sao was just about to prepare dinner when she received a call from Cao Fang. She thought he was informing her that Mr. Huo wouldn't be eating dinner there tonight.

"Hello, Assistant Cao."

Cao Fang opened his mouth and asked her, "What was the reason you called me that day"

Lan Sao was taken aback, and cold sweat flowed down her face, "I... I just said that Miss Fu had a stomachache..."

"I didn't even ask you what day it was, how did you know I was asking about this What are you hiding" Cao Fang coldly interrupted her. "You better be honest, or you'll be sorry!"

Lan Sao turned pale with fright and confessed everything at once.

Cao Fang had his speakerphone on, and Lan Sao's trembling voice came through.

"Miss Fu wasn't menstruating, she vomited terribly that day and told me it was motion sickness. But I didn't think so, so I called Mr. Huo. Unexpectedly, Miss Fu stopped me. I was foolish to be scared off by her words. Mr. Huo, please forgive me! I really didn't mean to hide this from you..."

Cao Fang hung up the phone and looked at Huo Mingzheng, who had been silent all along, with complex eyes. How could this be

Why did Ms. Fu lie

With a snap, Huo Mingzheng's pen broke in his hand as the last sliver of sunlight disappeared from the horizon.

Cao Fang's heart pounded in his chest, he dared not look at Huo Mingzheng's expression.

His voice was as cold as ice, "Go check, check if Fu Yan has been to any hospitals recently, start with the People's Hospital you checked last time."

Cao Fang immediately turned around and went out to handle it.

The huge office was pitch black, not even the lights were on. The sun had already set, and in the dim light, Huo Mingzheng sat alone at his desk. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, the city's neon lights began to twinkle.

The pitch-black horizon flickered, with an airplane piercing through the clouds.

Huo Mingzheng stared at the date on the calendar, his brows seeming to be frosted with frost.

The checkup report from Ming Fen Hospital clearly indicates that Fu Yan is not pregnant.

But why did she stop Lan Sao and lie that she was on her period

Most likely...

Ho Mingzheng clutched the broken pen, his eyes like a thick, murky night. In the mist, faint sparks flickered, howling into the darkness of dawn.

He gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently in the dim light.

He suddenly threw down the broken pen and stood up. At the same time, Cao Fang knocked on the door and came in. In the blurry light, he only saw a tall figure of Huo Mingzheng.

Time seemed to stand still.

"Mr. Huo, there's news from the hospital. Ms. Fu's blood sample from People's Hospital was mixed up with someone else's before. She went to have her blood drawn again on New Year's Day."

Cao Fang swallowed nervously and said, "The blood test results show that Miss Fu is pregnant."

With a thunderous roar, the sky seemed to crackle with lightning.

Ho Mingzheng's mind went blank for a moment, and his vision darkened in waves.

Remembering that day, he asked her to kneel in the ancestral hall. Her stubbornness and helplessness, her bruised and swollen knees.

Huo Jingshu cursed her to never have children, she said fiercely that she would not forgive her.

She was nauseated in the bathroom this morning, unable to eat large bites and avoiding anything with a fishy taste for fear he would notice something was wrong.

A chilling wind seemed to blow in from all directions, pouring into my heart. A piercing pain, dense and suffocating, began to seep from the depths of my flesh.

As he moved, his figure gradually came into focus. Cao only then saw the ghastly pallor of his face for a fleeting moment.

"Mr. Huo!" Cao Fang rushed over worriedly.

Immediately, she helped Huo Mingzheng up by his arm. Although his wounds healed quickly, he had lost a lot of blood that day and it would take a long time to recover his previous stamina through treatment.

Now Huo Mingzheng is much weaker than he used to be.

Ho Mingzheng's handsome face was unusually cold, and he forcefully brushed away Cao Fang's hand.

He picked up his phone, his fingers trembling slightly, and dialed a number. The call ended with the voice prompt: "The number you have dialed is currently out of service."

Shutting down....

She is the deputy director of the project department. She is usually very busy with work, and she always keeps a power bank in her bag. There are also data cables in the office to charge her phone at any time. She even doesn't turn it off when she sleeps.

It just happened to shut down at this critical moment.

He snatched Cao Fang's phone and dialed the same number. It still prompted: "The number you dialed is currently out of service."

Cao Fang also sensed something unusual.

Just then, Cao Fang's phone rang. The caller ID showed the bodyguard who picked up and dropped off Fu Yan every day to work.

"Brother Fang, Ms. Fu's phone is turned off. I went upstairs to ask, and Ms. Fu's colleague said that Ms. Fu left the company this afternoon and hasn't come back, and..."

"And what, spit it out!" Cao Fang urged.

The bodyguard said, "Miss Fu has submitted her resignation to the company, and Fu Hanlin approved it."

Cao Fang stood beside Huo Mingzheng, the bodyguard's voice was full of air and urgency.

Cao Fang hung up the phone.

Huo Mingzheng's thin lips were tightly pressed together, paling inch by inch.

She's not the kind of person who acts impulsively. She always plans ahead before doing anything, even if it's leaving the Huo family. She would first find a job in another city before she leaves, and she wouldn't just quit without saying anything.

Unless something unexpected happens, like pregnancy or running away.

Ho Mingzheng's entire person seemed shrouded in a layer of cold air. He said coldly, "Call the Huo Mansion and ask for Song Qing˪."

Cao Fang's expression turned grave after hearing what Huo Gongguan's bodyguard had said.

"Mr. Huo, Song Qing˪ also left Huo's residence this afternoon."

Ho Mingzheng took a step back, his tall and straight body leaning against the desk. He suddenly let out a cold laugh.

These days, the news that he and Li Qin were going to get married had probably reached her ears long ago. He forced her to live in Mingyu Mansion, and she didn't argue or make a fuss, nor did she ask about Li Qin.

He thought she had compromised for her friends and for her mother.

Now it seems that's not the case.

She was indeed planning, planning her escape from him.

This morning, she spoke to him with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, as if discussing something important. Now that I think about it, she was afraid of the doctor, not because she feared pain, but because she feared being diagnosed with pregnancy. Her secret would be exposed like fire unable to be contained by paper.

But she just vanished from his world, without a word.

Huo Mingzheng clenched his fingers, which creaked with the pressure, and the tendons on the back of his hand bulged one by one, a mottled mix of purple and blue.

Fu Yan, you dare not! You dare not take my child away!

You can't leave me! master bedroom was dim, creating a very conducive atmosphere for sleep.Her eyes fell on the large bed in the middle, a flicker of disgust crossing her gaze.Ho Mingzheng saw this and remembered the la...
