Ruan Yimo went to her cabinet, picked up a glass box filled with strange things, and put one of them in a bag.

Then put it in your pocket and let her see how badly this person was injured.

So, following the tree outside her window, she realized that her mother was keeping her confined to her room, preventing her from going anywhere, saying it was to protect her. She could only get out on her own.

She racked her clever little brains, trying to figure out where to get out, and then she saw the tree outside the window.

She glanced at the distance; it wasn't far. Her short legs should be able to jump across. Never mind, let's go!

Fortunately, I didn't fall directly down, but instead slid down the tree.

Although her hands were sore from the rough work, she managed to get down safely. Just as she was feeling happy for herself, a voice came from behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Ruan Yimo turned around abruptly and met a pair of cold eyes. Ruan Yimo stammered, "Mom...Mommy."

Ruan Qian'an: "Stop fooling around." After saying that, she rubbed her temples: "Stay in your room and behave yourself. It's very dangerous lately."

He said to a man in black behind him, "Take the young lady back to her room."

Man in black: "Yes, boss."

Ruan Yimo's operation ended in failure, and she was also puzzled as to why someone would call her "Mommy" or "Boss" when it was someone she had never met before.

So she said, "Uncle, who are you? Could you take me to see Huo Jingmo?"

The man in black simply ignored her with a straight face, which annoyed Ruan Yimo, who stopped walking altogether.

The man in black looked at the little bundle of joy on the ground with a puzzled expression and asked, "Little Miss, are you tired from walking? Do you need me to carry you?"

Then the man in black carefully tried to pick up Ruan Yimo, but Ruan Yimo started to cry.

Startled, the man in black released Ruan Yimo and said in a slightly panicked voice, "Miss, don't cry! I won't touch you!"

Ruan Yimo sobbed, "Then take me to find Huo Jingmo and I won't cry."

The man in black frowned and said, "Miss, I'm just following orders to take you back. It's not safe these days. If anything happens to you, the boss will kill me. Don't make things difficult for me."

Ruan Yimo wondered to himself, "Where did these feudal remnants come from that they're obeying orders?"

Ruan Yimo stopped crying: "I don't care, take me to find Huo Jingmo, that way I won't encounter any danger."

The man in black frowned and said, "Huo Jingmo is your father, right? How can you call your father by his name?"

Ruan Yimo thought to herself, "This is truly a remnant of feudalism: This has nothing to do with you."

The man in black said, "I'm sorry, I cannot comply."

Ruan Yimo stared at the man in black with her teary eyes and said, "I'll just take a look, a sneaky look. I won't let anyone see, and I won't cause any trouble."

The man in black was charmed by her adorable appearance and softened his tone, saying, "Alright, but you can only look once. Then, young lady, you have to go back to your room, okay? No cheating allowed."

Ruan Yimo nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I know, please take me there quickly."

The man in black picked up Ruan Yimo and said, "I'll carry you there quickly. Don't speak inside, or it'll be troublesome if we're discovered."

The man in black led Ruan Yimo quietly to a room, pressed a button, and then entered another room.

There were many bottles and jars inside, while Huo Jingmo lay on the hospital bed with various tubes inserted into his body.

They hid in a small corner, and the man in black shushed Ruan Yimo, "Don't make a sound, just take a look."

A voice came from the other end: "Wang, given what you did to President Huo before, his body was already weak, and now he has suffered such serious injuries. It is already difficult for him to survive, and it will be very difficult for him to fully recover."

Ruan Qian'an's weary voice rang out: "Isn't there any way at all?"

"Yes, it depends on whether Wang is willing."

Ruan Qian'an roughly guessed what it was, and she rubbed her temples: "I know."

After Ruan Qian'an left, Ruan Yimo spoke up: "I want to go and take a look."

The man in black said, "No, young lady."

Ruan Yimo blinked her big eyes and said, "I'm already here, so it's no big deal to get a closer look. Besides, I'm just so worried about him. Is he not going to live much longer?" As she spoke, Ruan Yimo was about to cry.

Seeing this, the man in black quickly covered Ruan Yimo's mouth: "It really won't work!"

Seeing that this approach worked, Ruan Yimo said in a coquettish tone, "I just heard Mommy say that he was very weak, and Xiangxiang is really worried about him. So please let me go and see Uncle."

Then, very sincerely, he said, "Or you can just wait here and I'll go over by myself. That way, Mommy won't find out, and I'll just say I sneaked out."

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll wait outside."

Ruan Yimo only began to act after the man in black left. When she arrived at this place, Huo Jingmo was lying above her height, so she couldn't see him.

So Ruan Yimo took the bag out of his pocket, and inside it was a centipede.

Ruan Yimo said to the centipede, "It's time for you to prove yourself. I don't believe Huo Jingmo was seriously injured. He must have deliberately tried to gain sympathy and get Mommy's attention. He's a ruthless person who will stop at nothing."

Ruan Yimo tossed the centipede onto the bed: "I'm just teaching you a lesson. Let's see if you'll keep pretending."

She didn't know what had triggered the alarm, but Ruan Yimo ran out quickly and hurriedly called to the man in black crouching outside, "Hurry up, uncle!"

The two ran off in a flash, but were stopped before they could even get outside.

Ruan Qian'an's stern voice rang out: "Ruan Yimo! What are you doing here?!"

Ruan Yimo shrank her neck and dared not speak. She realized that her mother was really angry.

The person who had been talking to Mommy ran out from behind: "Something's wrong, Miss Wang... no, you need to go check on Mr. Huo right away."

Ruan Qian'an's sharp gaze swept over Ruan Yimo: "What did you do?"

"Keep an eye on the young lady."

Then they quickly ran inside.

Ruan Yimo looked at the group of people surrounding her and, a little scared, clung to the arm of the man in black, refusing to let go.

The man in black crouched on the ground, clutching his head in fear, tears streaming down his face. He whispered to Ruan Yimo, "Miss, what did you do?!"

Ruan Yimo pouted: "I didn't do anything, I just put a centipede on Huo Jingmo, just to scare him and see if he would still pretend."

The man in black exclaimed upon hearing this: "???!"

Then he fainted. Ruan Yimo exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Uncle?"

Ruan Yimo squatted pitifully inside the encirclement.

The encirclement dispersed, and a pair of shoes appeared in front of Ruan Yimo. Ruan Yimo, her face streaked with tears, raised her head and pitifully called out, "Mommy."

The only response she received was a centipede that had been crushed to death. Throughout the entire ordeal, Ruan Qian'an ignored Ruan Yimo, glanced at the unconscious man in black beside her, and said, "Take him away."

Ruan Qian'an's aura relentlessly assaulted Ruan Yimo, a sensation that caused Ruan Yimo to faint and her soul to tremble, prompting her to plead, "Mom..."

One by one, the people surrounding them collapsed. The person who had been talking to the mother spoke up: "Wang, the young lady is about to faint."

Ruan Qian'an snorted coldly, then walked towards what appeared to be a laboratory.

Ruan Yimo gasped for breath, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her mother like this terrified her. She crouched down, trembling, and hesitantly followed Ruan Qian'an's steps.

As soon as Ruan Yimo entered, she saw Huo Jingmo soaking in a huge tank, his body still covered with tubes and an oxygen tube in his mouth.

He seemed to sense someone coming in; his eyelids twitched, but he didn't open his eyes, as if he were trapped by something.

Ruan Qian'an stretched out a hand and touched the person inside through the glass.

Ruan Yimo followed, and upon closer inspection, she saw a long scar on the man's stomach.

She asked Ruan Qian'an, "Mommy, is he really hurt?"

Seeing that she didn't get a response, she asked herself, "Is your stomach injured? It looks quite serious."

Finally, Ruan Qian'an responded to her: "No, the injury here has been there for a long time."

Ruan Yimo: "If not, then where was he injured?"

Then, with a certainty, she said, "Mommy, he's faking it!"

Ruan Qian'an frowned, clearly not wanting to hear anything more from Ruan Yimo: "Take the young lady back to her room, and she is not allowed to come out without my permission."

Ruan Yimo was horrified. In her mind, her mother had never treated her like this before, so she unconsciously shouted to cover up her panic: "Mommy! You're restricting my freedom because of him! He's a bad person, he's a bad person!"

Ruan Qian'an looked at Ruan Yimo and stared at her, saying, "Bad person? Ruan Yimo! Huo Jingmo was so badly injured saving you, and you not only don't feel guilty, but you also put a centipede on him, and now you still hold a grudge against him!"

Ruan Yimo said fiercely and hatefully, "It's not my fault, it's all because of him. He deliberately broke you and Uncle Chen up, and wouldn't let Uncle Chen come to keep me company. He even stole the time you spent with me. And that kidnapper was someone he hired!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qian'an was startled and asked, "Who told you all this?!"

Ruan Yimo, with an expression that said "I'm right" mixed with excitement, said, "Uncle Chen told me all of this! He's a bad guy, a bad guy! I hate him! No, I hate him! We're living just fine without him, why did he have to come!"

As Ruan Yimo shouted these words, he suddenly met a pair of eyes as dark as ink, filled with hurt. Then those eyes slowly closed.

Ruan Yimo felt at a loss.

Ruan Qian'an followed Ruan Yimo's gaze and saw those open eyes. Just as she was about to feel happy, an alarm sounded behind her.

"Miss, Mr. Huo's health is declining rapidly."

Panic immediately erupted here. Ruan Qian'an's cold voice rang out: "Take her back to her room. Don't let her cause trouble here."

Ruan Yimo felt helpless and obediently allowed himself to be taken away, his eyes fixed on the person who closed his eyes again.
