But I'm sure the IP tried to connect by the svchost is NOT MS related site.

218.213.255.29
80.15.249.167

Well, the first one, probably not.

inetnum:      218.213.0.0 - 218.213.255.255
netname:      HKNET-HK
descr:        HKNet Company Limited
descr:        15/F, Tower 2, Ever Gain Plaza,
descr:        88 Container Port Road, Kwai Chung, N.T.
country:      HK

But the second address we can't be so sure, I've heard that Microsoft
uses Akamai for Windows Update.

inetnum:      80.15.249.0 - 80.15.249.239
netname:      AKAMAI-FT-US
descr:        Akamai Technologies - US machines connected to FT AS5511
