When Luan Jia returned home, she found out the phone number hidden under the drawer.It's not easy to make cross-country calls, so he calculated the time difference, went to rest first, and picked a time to call the next day.Before his mother died, he entrusted someone in the family to take care of his property, and he didn't hand over the property to him until he was an adult. Luan Jia never cared much about it, and never called his mother's phone number.

Luan Jia always felt that she was not close to her mother, nor was she close to her father.He is not a pure Chinese, nor a pure Western European, and he is very alienated from people on both sides.Luan Jia dialed the phone, and a cold voice came from the other side: "Mr. Xiaoluan."

Luan Jia asked politely: "Hello, is this Mr. Huo Sen?" Luan Jia remembered that his mother said that the person who took care of his property was called Huo Sen, but Luan Jia didn't remember the more complete name.

"It's me," said the man over there. "I was entrusted by your mother to manage your inheritance until you came of age. Are you calling me because you have some trouble and need my help?"

"No." Luan Jia is not very used to communicating in foreign languages. After a pause, he collected his thoughts and said, "I want to ask Mr. Huo Sen to help me investigate something, which is something that a friend of mine wants to know. He suspects him His younger brother was taken to Western Europe, hoping to find more clues."

Huo Sen asked Luan Jia about the specific situation carefully, and he fell silent after listening.

"This is a very important friend of mine," Luan Jia emphasized. "We have known each other for almost ten years. This is the first time he asked me to help him. I really hope that I can help him."

"Okay, I will try my best." Huo Sen agreed.However, Huo Sen cared more about Luan Jia's state than investigating the rescue team for Luan Jia's friends.Although there was only a brief conversation, Huo Sen could hear a deep sense of self-loathing from Luan Jia's words, as well as a desire to be recognized by friends and to be needed.This means that Luan Jia is not doing well, at least not in a good mental state.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Sen asked people to find out about the situation of the rescue team.After finding out the names registered at the beginning, Huo Sen called back all the people he sent out.This person was shot dead a year ago, and the news has been kept secret, only a few people know.Back then, the members of the rescue team were silent, and if anyone wanted to investigate them, they would have to inform each other so that no one could find out about them.

Howson would know this because his father was a housekeeper in a long-established, old-school family.He will be chosen by Ms. Cathy to manage the estate also because he has such a good "family background".After thinking about it for a long time, Huo Sen asked someone to buy a ticket to China.

Ms. Cathy hopes that her son will grow up healthy. If Luan Jia doesn't take the initiative to contact here, they can't bother Luan Jia.But this time was different, this time Luan Jia had already asked for help, he should go back and see how his client was doing.

When Huo Sen arrived at Luan's house, Luan Jia was sitting on the balcony smoking a cigarette. The 13-year-old boy looks very good, but he is lighting a cigarette in his hand. It smells very strong, which is not a "healthy cigarette".Huo Sen frowned, stepped forward, and raised his hand to snatch the cigarette from Luan Jia's hand.

Luan Jia was taken aback, looking at the young man who was close at hand.Huo Sen is only about 22 or [-] years old, at most ten years older than him, but he looks much more mature than him, with dark and serious eyes, looking him up and down with serious eyes.

Luan Jia also checked herself up and down, and found that her hands smelled of cigarettes, her clothes were unbuttoned, slippers were hanging on her feet, and she was slumped on the chair without any dignity.In contrast, Huo Sen even took care of the direction of every strand of hair in an orderly manner.

One can tell at a glance that this guy is the same kind of person as Zhang Xiuyan.

Luan Jia said, "Mr. Huo Sen?"

Huo Sen said: "I will live in Huaguo temporarily," he looked at Luan Jia, "I hope we get along well. But I don't think it will be happy, after all, you seem to have acquired a lot of bad habits." smokes.

Luan Jia: "..."

He also suddenly felt that it was impossible for them to get along happily.

Luan Jia sat up straight and asked, "Mr. Huo Sen, have you found out what I asked you to help investigate?"

"I wish I could meet that friend of yours," Hosen said. "I don't want to say the same thing twice."

"Okay," Luan Jia stood up, and found that her height was only up to Huo Sen's shoulders, and she was a little uncomfortable.He said, "Can I ask first whether you found good or bad results?"

"I don't know whether it's good or bad, it depends on your friend's judgment." Huo Sen stared at Luan Jia.

"Then you rest first, I will make an appointment with Lao Yan."

"You can ask him to come here now," Huo Sen looked at his watch, "I don't need to sleep for now, I can finish talking with him before resting."

Luan Jia went to call obediently.

After Luan Jia finished notifying Zhang Xiuyan, he found that Huo Sen had several packs of cigarettes in his hand, found the trash can, and threw them all in.Luan Jia recognized that it was her own cigarette, and said painfully: "Those are all expensive things, how could you just throw away my cigarettes!"

Huo Sen said: "Mr. Xiaoluan, I remember you just turned thirteen this year." His expression was not very good, "I have deep doubts about China's tobacco and alcohol control system."

Luan Jia said: "You don't understand this. Many parents in Huaguo are very lazy. When they play mahjong and get addicted to cigarettes, they will ask their children to help them buy it; and many bosses in Huaguo are all about making money. You say Say 'I'll help my dad buy cigarettes' and they'll bring it to you - sometimes you don't even have to lie like that, just say 'give me a pack of cigarettes'."

Huo Sen said: "You seem very proud? Are you proud that you can take advantage of this loophole?" He looked down at Luan Jia, "I will stay in Huaguo until you quit smoking."

Luan Jia shrugged: "Then you may spend your whole life in Huaguo. I have never seen someone who can quit smoking."

Huo Sen was irritated by Luan Jia's attitude: "I don't believe there is anything impossible in the world. From today, I will take on the responsibility of supervising you."

Luan Jia was also irritated by Huo Sen's attitude. He stood up and glared at Huo Sen and said, "My father doesn't care about me, what right do you have to care about me!"

Huo Sen calmed down and looked at Luan Jia quietly.

This boy is not like his mother at all, but so much like his mother.

Especially this sharp and fragile appearance.

It seems that the "father" in his mouth has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

Huo Sen put out the chips calmly: "Your friend needs my help."

Luan Jia suddenly became dumb.
