Chapter 283: Chapter 284: The Considerate Little Cotton-padded Coat

"No!" The little guy immediately shook his head, "I just came to invite you downstairs for breakfast."

"Okay, you go play first, and I’ll come down as soon as I change my clothes."

"Then I’m going to change, the horseback riding teacher is coming over soon."

The little guy turned around and headed for the door.

"Xiaotang." Gan Yuan called him, "Have you seen Uncle Huangfu?"

"He had some urgent business and has already left." Hearing her mention Huangfu Jue, Gan Tang turned back, his eyes bright as he stared at her face, "Mommy, you really love Uncle Huangfu, don’t you?"

"I..." Gan Yuan was at a loss for words. After a moment, she put on an adult’s stern face, "Little brat, what do you know about love? Aren’t you going to change your clothes?"

The little guy just assumed she was shy, his tender lips curving up into a smile, "I’ll go change. Remember to dry your hair before you come downstairs, or you’ll catch a cold."

"I know." Gan Yuan smiled back.

They say daughters are like warm cotton pads close to the heart, but in her opinion, her son was.

Opening the door, the little guy left the bedroom, and she raised her right hand to inspect the wound on the back of her hand, pulling a tissue to wipe away the blood that had seeped out.

Opening the wardrobe, she took out a band-aid from her backpack and covered the deepest cut on her hand, Gan Yuan quickly got dressed, her gaze falling back on the backpack she had packed before, her brow furrowing again.

She grasped the strap of the backpack; the small bag felt mountainously heavy.

Last night, Huangfu Jue must have stayed up all night, and this morning he left early, something big must have happened.

At such a time, if she were to leave, wouldn’t that be adding to the trouble? Moreover, he was surrounded by danger.

But...

Feeling restless and anxious, she snatched the bag and stuffed it back into the wardrobe, stepping briskly out of the bedroom and into Huangfu Jue’s study.

Glancing quickly at the shredded paper in the bin under the shredder, she walked to the desk.

On the desk lay drawing paper, pencils, erasers, and other tools. Because Huangfu Jue had left in a hurry and the study’s servants were not allowed to enter willy-nilly, no one had tidied up for him, and the usually neat desk was somewhat disordered.

He always had a bit of a cleanliness obsession; this wasn’t his usual style, meaning only that he must have left in a great hurry.

Moving around the table, Gan Yuan pulled open his drawer and immediately saw the files on top. Spotting the photo of the assassin, she took out the files and quickly scanned the text.

Noticing the word "Red Flame," her heart thumped hard.

The assassin was a member of "Red Flame"?!

Flipping to the first page, she quickly went through the information below; the useful details on the file weren’t abundant.

The thin stack of pages suddenly felt extremely heavy, and her heart too quickly sank.

The style of "Red Flame" was to never give up on a target once locked in.

This time, their assassination attempt on Huangfu Jue, was it someone else’s commission, or was it arranged by Moses?

Thinking back to last night’s party, Gan Yuan’s brows furrowed tighter—could it be that Moses’s visit to A Country was specifically for Huangfu Jue?!

A thought struck her, and she suddenly remembered her discovery in the forest; she quickly turned and went back to her room to fetch a pair of binoculars, looking toward the direction of the forest.

There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary in the forest, but just outside, a car was parked.

Adjusting the focus, she immediately made out the figure standing outside the car.

Tall and slim, dressed in a black shirt and suit, even standing in the sunshine, the man was like the night—it was Moses!
