Chapter 871

"clear."

Mr. Huo only said this and then hung up the phone.

Huo Baiyuan put down his phone and tilted his head to look at the scenery flashing by outside the car window. The winner and loser of this war without gunpowder between him and Huo Yijun would soon be revealed.

A few days passed in a flash, and Huo Baiyuan didn't feel like anything was missing. Even though Song Lishu was dead, the world would still go on as usual. She had no friends or relatives, and after a few days, she would gradually be forgotten by everyone.

Early in the morning, Huo Baiyuan came down from the second floor. Qin Miao happened to walk into the door, came to Huo Baiyuan, and handed him the envelope in his hand.

Huo Baiyuan took a look and didn't answer: "What is this?"

"The rent bill." Qin Miao replied.

Huo Baiyuan frowned. He didn't think he would have anything to do with such a bill.

Qin Miao explained: "I have investigated. The eldest young lady rented a house outside. Because the eldest young lady passed away suddenly, the rent was suddenly cut off this month, so the landlord sent a bill."

Huo Baiyuan narrowed his eyes: "You mean, Song Lishu rented a house outside?"

"Yes."

Huo Baiyuan snatched the bill from Qin Miao's hand, opened it and took a look, his face darkened slightly: "The Huo's house is so big that it's not big enough for her to live in, so she has to rent a house outside?"

Qin Miao lowered his head and said nothing.

Huo Baiyuan crumpled the bill into a ball and threw it on the ground.

Huo Baiyuan was feeling a little upset the whole day. He couldn't even read any documents. His mind was full of the rent bill that Qin Miao gave him in the morning.

The next day, Huo Baiyuan called Qin Miao.

"Where is the address of her rented house? Take me there." Qin Miao was stunned for a moment and felt very surprised.

In the car, Qin Miao looked through the rearview mirror at Huo Baiyuan in the back seat and saw that Huo Baiyuan had a gloomy face and looked angry.

There should be only one reason that could make a rich lady secretly rent another house, and that is that she secretly kept a man outside. Huo Baiyuan was indeed very angry, but he was angry only because Song Lishu dared to use the Huo family's money to support another man.

He really underestimated her!

A few minutes later, the car stopped at a remote and old residential building. The several-story building was dilapidated, with gray and white walls falling off, and it looked shaky.

Huo Baiyuan couldn't help but frowned: "Is it here?"

Qin Miao nodded: "It's right here."

Huo Baiyuan opened the car door and got out.

There were no security measures here. Qin Miao took Huo Baiyuan into the building, passed through the narrow and dark corridor, and came to the third floor. Qin Miao took out the key from his pocket, which was what he asked for from the landlord.

Opening the door, Huo Baiyuan stepped in.

The furnishings in the house were simple, even shabby, but the decoration was very warm. Pink curtains were hanging and cute stickers were pasted on the window glass. The kitchen was clean and there was an exquisite vase on the table, but the white flowers had withered and yellowed. Further in was a large bed with a neatly folded quilt, as if someone still lived here.

Huo Baiyuan glanced at them casually and thought with a sneer, it's really shabby to keep a man here.

At this time, Huo Baiyuan noticed that there was a simple wooden shoe rack at the door. On the rack were two pairs of couple's slippers, a pair of women's leather shoes, and two pairs of canvas shoes that were obviously men's.

Huo Baiyuan stared at the pairs of shoes placed together and looked away in annoyance.
