Escape

The system remained silent for a moment.

It wasn't until after Huo Silin had sent Huo An'an to her room and left that the system responded to Huo An'an's query.

[In a world with supernatural beings, if you deny something even after it's discovered, no one can truly hold you accountable.]

Of course, Huo An'an knew that the real issue at hand was the possibility that the malevolent supporting female character, Ming Zaizai, was some sort of supernatural entity, making this situation quite thorny.

Regardless, escape was the priority.

Huo An'an gathered her belongings. Seizing the moment when Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo were not in the living room, she dialed her cousin Xu Yao's number and simultaneously arranged for the driver to take her away.

When Huo Sishen and Huo Sijin returned with their younger siblings, evening was setting in.

Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo exchanged glances, then looked upstairs.

"Silin, call An'an down for dinner."

"Alright."
