Chapter 93: Sudden Change

  I heard Yezi's words and was shocked in my heart: Could something have happened at his home? Liu Hao never skips class.

  "I asked: Yezi, has Liu Hao taken leave?"

  "I don't know, it seems like he didn't ask for leave. I asked Yuan Ye that silly big guy, and he also doesn't know why Liu Hao didn't come to class."

  "With Liu Hao's personality, if he was sick, he would definitely ask for leave. Since he didn't, there is only one possibility - something happened at home. Could it be that the incident with Lao Bian and his family a few days ago brought trouble to Liu Jianmin? Such a big commotion can't go unnoticed. I'll go to his house tonight to check on him, I don't want my matters to implicate them."

  "On a summer evening, the gentle breeze blew up my clothes, bringing a hint of coolness to the sweltering weather. I had just walked to the school gate when I heard someone calling me from behind: 'Rongyao, wait for me, let's go together.' As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was that silly Yuan Ye."

  "How did you know where I was going?"

  Yèzi told me that you're going to Liu Hao's house after school today.

  "Why didn't you go to class today?"

  "Hehe...... In the past few days when you weren't around, I joined the school basketball team. In a few days, it will be the basketball competition among major middle schools in the city. Today we trained for a whole day and I'm exhausted."

  We took a taxi outside the school gate and went straight to Liu Hao's building, got off the car and saw a group of people discussing something downstairs.

  I vaguely heard Liu Jianmin's name mentioned, it seems something has indeed happened.

  We came to the door and knocked, it was Liu Hao's mother who opened the door. The house was quiet, with only Liu Auntie at home. The current Liu Auntie is completely different from when I first met her. Her hair was disheveled and fell on her shoulders, her face was waxen yellow, and her eyes were lifeless. She let us in and sat on the sofa, staring blankly, without saying a word.

  "Auntie, is something wrong at home? Liu Hao hasn't gone to school for three days?"

  "Aunt Liu raised her head and looked at us, speaking incoherently: When did you guys come? You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll go cook. Xiaohao has been out all day, he should be back soon too. You guys wait here for a bit, I'll go make dinner."

  Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

  "I hastily shouted: Auntie, we've finished eating, no need to bother."

  Just then, the sound of opening the door came in. Liu Hao's face was haggard, his clothes were wrinkled and messy, and he no longer had the dashing and sunny appearance he used to have.

  Seeing us sitting there, Liu Hao was taken aback and asked: How did you get here?

  "I shook my head and said: Is something wrong with Uncle Liu? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it."

  Liu Hao sat down beside me and said: My dad has been taken away for double designation.

  "What? Although I had already guessed it, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that the incident three days ago really did affect him?"

  "I didn't make any expression: Tell me what's going on?"

  "I don't know, three days ago the provincial government sent an investigation team and said my dad was corrupt and had a problem with his work style, so they took him away for double regulation. I've been looking for my dad's friends to help these past few days, but not one person is willing to see me, even if I have money it can't be delivered."

  "With a loud slap, he slammed his hand on the coffee table in front of him and cursed: Damn it, these sons of bitches! Before my dad had an accident, they called each other brothers, but now that something has happened, they're all hiding far away. It's really true that you see people's hearts after a long time."

  "Do you think your father will be corrupt?"

  Liu Hao shook his head: "No way, I know what kind of person my dad is, and so does my mom. How could he possibly be corrupt? They also said that my dad has a problem with his work style, which is even more ridiculous. My dad has always loved my mom, how could he go find another woman outside? Even my mom doesn't believe it."

  "I thought for a moment and said calmly: It seems that this matter is not so simple, someone is framing Uncle Liu. And the person who framed Uncle Liu must be very powerful, so powerful that many people dare not speak out. You've been looking for Uncle Liu's old friends all along, haven't you ever looked for his colleagues who got along with him? Although they can't help, they must know something. As long as we know the reason, we will definitely be able to rescue Uncle Liu."

  Liu Hao patted his forehead and said regretfully: How could I have forgotten?
