Wen Ping felt he was probably overwhelmed by everything today, and simply overthinking it.
He automatically disregarded the words he had just heard and cleared his throat. "Excuse me..."
Huo Changfeng's subordinate suddenly veered his head slightly and inadvertently looked in Wen Ping's direction with a vicious look in his eyes. Wen Ping's mind promptly crashed.
He wanted to tell the man about Huo Yao, but eventually was unable to say a word.
When the man noticed it was Wen Ping, he promptly suppressed the murderous look in his eyes and looked at Wen Ping harmlessly. He said in a polite tone, "Sorry about that. Did you want to talk to me?"
Wen Ping's mouth had turned O-shaped from shock. After some time, he finally said, "Junior Sister is fine."
He mechanically raised his hand and pointed inside the hospital.

Wen Ping rubbed his eyes.
Sure enough, he had never hallucinated so much in his life.

Shortly after Huo Yao got to the police station, Huo Changfeng arrived there as well.
"Miss Huo, did you get hurt?" Huo Changfeng frowned as he spoke. Even though he had done his utmost to control himself, he gave off an incredibly murderous aura.
The young cop was helping to write her statement. He promptly felt tense and placed his hand on his hip cautiously out of fear that he might get attacked.
Huo Yao's hair was almost dry and she was wearing Wen Ping's coat. Her face was slightly pale but she seemed alright on the whole.
She looked at Huo Changfeng. "I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."
"Why did you fall into the water? Did something happen?" The moment Huo Changfeng heard about the drowning incident, he rushed over without stopping to find out more from his men.
Huo Yao kept her right hand in the wet coat pocket. The Huo family would find out about Lu Xia sooner or later.
As she gently rubbed the object in her pocket, she said calmly, "I had a conflict with Lu Xia."
She did not go into detail or gripe about it. It seemed as though it was just a common conflict between students.
The moment Huo Changfeng heard the name, his face turned stern.
Young Master Yulin had finally walked out of the kidnapping incident after all these years. Now, they wanted to touch Miss Huo.
Did they think the family would go easy on them on account of their past ties? Was that the reason they kept trying to push Miss Huo around?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid they think the Huo family could not do anything about Lu Xia?
Huo Changfeng inhaled deeply. He was unlike Huo Jinyan and Song Ning. He would certainly not go soft on Lu Xia just because she used to be their daughter.
Huo Changfeng looked at Huo Yao. "Is Lu Xia at Sirin University now?"
"Nope." Huo Yao touched her nose. "She's at the hospital now."
"Is she the one at the hospital?" Huo Changfeng was stunned.
One of them was at the police station while the other was hospitalized. The intimidating look on Huo Changfeng's face eased up slightly. "Miss Huo, did you beat her up?"
He would be very impressed if Miss Huo had attacked Lu Xia directly.
"Nope." Huo Yao shrugged and put on an innocent expression. She pretended she was a good student and would never resort to violence. "I thought her mental illness was acting up, so I sent her to the hospital for a check-up out of the kindness of my heart."
A look of surprise swept across Huo Changfeng's eyes.
Huo Yao continued talking to the cop about getting attacked by someone crazy. Since she was the victim, she asked if she could sue the culprit for it.
