"We, we didn't mean anything else, Father and Mother said, 'fallen leaves return to their roots'... We just wanted to come back, to see our relatives here, to see Third Uncle..." Jackson stammered out.
Because he lacked confidence, Jackson's words were somewhat halting.
"Oh, really?" Huo Shiqian glanced at him, his tone and demeanor remarkably calm.
Then, Huo Shiqian gently shook his head and continued to caution Jackson, "Jikeson, I warned you last time. This is China; you must be careful in what you say and do."
"Unfortunately, it seems the two of you haven't taken my words to heart."
Huo Shiqian's tone was incredibly casual.
But the more casually he spoke, the more afraid Jackson and his sister felt.
"I, we haven't done anything!" Jackson hurriedly said, "We really just came back to see Third Uncle, that's all!"
