Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Get Qiao Yun Under Control

Huo Lin argued with reason and evidence: “Only by saying so can you extricate yourself more quickly, or would you prefer to stay there?”

Fu Yun was at a loss for words, her face flushing red with embarrassment, she said uneasily, “But you can’t, you can’t… tell them I’m sick!”

After all, she was his biological mother, and Huo Lin was quite patient: “This is just an excuse to exonerate you.”

Because criminals with mental illness aren’t given heavy sentences.

The crime Fu Yun committed was neither severe nor trivial, but it was enough to make her suffer for a long time. In the end, it was Huo Lin who presented years of her medical records, proving that she indeed suffered from mental illness, which allowed her to leave the police station so quickly.

Fu Yun didn’t understand Huo Lin’s intentions. There are no secrets that can’t be revealed, and it probably wouldn’t take long for word to get out about her illness.

To her, this was absolutely humiliating.

After enduring so much over the years, to become a laughingstock in her old age was more than she could bear. Thinking of this, sadness welled up in Fu Yun’s heart, and tears came to her eyes in an instant.

Huo Lin’s expression softened slightly, but he gave no reaction.

This only infuriated Fu Yun further, and she couldn’t help but raise her voice: “What, now that you’ve grown up and become independent, you have no regard for your mother, do you?”

Huo Lin coaxed her with a go-with-the-flow demeanor: “You’re overthinking it, you really do need to vent your emotions, the doctor said it’s good for you.”

Fu Yun’s lips trembled, “You… you want to anger me to death.”

It was only now that she realized that, lately, Huo Lin’s actions were increasingly not to her liking.

Whether it was recognizing publicly that the AI system belonged to Fu Yao, or this current incident.

She felt a sudden panic and hastily grabbed Huo Lin’s arm, her voice shaking as she asked, “Alin, you wouldn’t neglect me, would you?”

Huo Lin’s face remained calm, he smiled faintly: “Of course not, but if there’s anything you’re hiding from me, Mom, I hope you can tell me the truth. I don’t want to find out at the very end.”

Fu Yun’s eyes flickered slightly, “What could I possibly be hiding from you? You know everything that you should.”

“Are you sure?” The smile in Huo Lin’s eyes slowly dissipated, returning to calm.

In that moment, the atmosphere around him turned somewhat cold, the oppressive air of a superior being.

His voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it made Fu Yun feel somewhat alarmed, her eyes, red and swollen, stared straight at Huo Lin.
