The Huo Family's small villa.
Gentle sunlight streamed through the white sheer curtains into the bedroom, and Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes. She felt around beside her and touched warmth.
Huo Xingzhou had already gotten up.
She heard the sound of a man making a phone call on the balcony, fragments of conversation reaching her ears.

Qiao Xi was surprised, "Didn't Mr. Huo have the bodyguards... "
Contempt surfaced in his eyes, "Just a few bodyguards, they can hardly stop them. This morning the Liu Family publicly claimed that a servant accidentally pushed Xu Xingluo, and you fell into the water because you were implicated. The Liu Family will come to apologize."

"The Liu Family, the Xu Family, or the Xiang Family." Huo Xingzhou had anticipated this.
Qiao Xi said, "Then the forensic expert you mentioned..."
