Chapter 223 Someone's probably going to cry their eyes out
Liang Hui gave Huo Yubai a meaningful look before saying, "Apart from He Xi, everyone else is safe and sound."
I turned to look at Huo Yubai.
Huo Yubai's expression was grim: "Do you know who did it?"
Liang Hui shook his head: "The other side came aggressively and started fighting with us without saying a word. There were too many of them, so I could only let He Ya take the others out through the back door. After that group of people took He Xi away, they also burned this place down."
I was furious: "Those bastards, Liang Hui, do you even remember what they look like?"
Liang Hui nodded.
“You cooperate with Huo Yubai to rescue his mother.” I looked at Huo Yubai: “Go find your mother. I’ll take care of things here first, and then I’ll come find you.”
“They’re all frightened too, you go about your business.” Huo Yubai said solemnly, “No need for Liang Hui to come with me, Huo Fei will be here soon.”
"Alright then." I stood up.
Mu Xi said, "Let everyone stay at my house first."
"it is good."
Liang Hui led us running towards the woods.
Everyone was there, but they all looked disheveled.
When my mom saw me, she hugged me tightly and burst into tears, saying, "You scared me to death!"
"It's alright, Mom, you're safe now." I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He Ya looked at Huo Yubai, who had already gotten into the car not far away, and whispered, "Is Yubai alright?"
“He went to see his mother,” I explained. “I’ll go and be with him after I’ve settled you all in.”
Zhuang Yan was carried out by He Ya, leaving his wheelchair in the villa. He leaned against the wall and said, "The other side came prepared. You and Yu Bai should be careful."
"Don't worry." I helped my mother stand up.
Then they got into Mu Xi's car and went to her house to rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu have already cleaned the room.
My mother was too frightened, so I told her to rest early.
He Ya walked in: "How is your mother?"
“She’s already asleep,” I replied.
He Ya sat down, her brows furrowing slightly: "What do you think these people want, and why are they doing this?"
"It's still not certain who did this," I said.
"Who else could it be but the Huo family?" He Ya said angrily, "He Xi has gone mad, and they still won't let her go!"
“It’s precisely because he’s become a madman that we can’t let him go. Huo Yubai’s father is still counting on him to inherit the family business. If word gets out that Huo Yubai’s mother is mentally ill, the shareholders might not agree.” I said, “If it’s not him, then it’s Huo Yubai’s second uncle. He wants his son to become the president, so He Xi is threatening Huo Yubai.”
"How insidious!" He Ya worriedly asked, "Won't He Xi be in any danger?"
“No.” I shook my head: “She’s a bargaining chip. If she dies, she’ll be no longer a threat to Huo Yubai. They’re not that stupid.”
"But doesn't Grandpa Huo care about what they're doing?" He Ya asked, puzzled. "He just stands by and watches?"
"He's sitting back and watching the tigers fight, trying to choose the most suitable person to take over the company. Anyone who can't handle these crises is not fit to be the president of the Huo Group," I explained.
"To achieve one's goals by any means necessary, is there any humanity left?" He Ya said angrily, "How ruthless must one be to burn down a villa? There were so many people inside. Luckily, Liang Hui was there this time."
Otherwise, everyone will likely meet with bad luck.
"It was my oversight; there weren't enough people protecting you." I blamed myself.
“How can you blame yourself!” He Ya comforted me: “Who could have imagined that they would suddenly appear, and that they would come in a group? You can’t predict how many people they will send. Don’t worry about it.”
"I won't let this go," I said angrily. "This residential area belongs to the Huo Group. With such a big incident happening, I will hold them accountable!"
They need an explanation!
"You must be tired too, go and rest. I'll take care of your mother." He Ya offered to help me take care of my mother when she saw that I was a little tired.
"I'm not tired, I want to go find Huo Yubai." I'm worried about him.
“Go ahead,” He Ya said. “I’ll let you know if anything happens.”
I stood up: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
“Oh, right,” He Ya remembered something: “These past two days, there’s been a stranger loitering around the villa. He runs away as soon as he sees us. I wonder if he’s related to the Huo family.”
"I'll go ask Liang Hui." I turned and went downstairs.
downstairs.
Liang Hui sat on the sofa.
"Liang Hui, have there been strangers loitering around the villa these past few days?" I asked, puzzled.
“Yes, the other person was a very slovenly middle-aged man. He ran away as soon as he saw me. I chased after him, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.” Liang Hui said helplessly, “I was just going to check the surveillance footage, but I didn’t expect this to happen.”
“It’s really my oversight that you have to handle so many things all by yourself. How about I arrange for someone else to help you?” I looked at him.
“Professor Shen, I can handle this.” Liang Hui said excitedly, “There’s no need to send anyone else.”
I patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, even if they send more people, they'll still be under your command."
"Professor Shen, that's not what I meant," Liang Hui tried to explain.
"It's decided then." I reassured you, "Don't worry about it, get some rest, I have to go now."
He stood up: "Professor Shen, where have you been? It's not safe for you to go out alone now."
"The Huo family's target isn't me. Just protect the people here." I walked out of the villa.
Mu Xi was worried and chased after her, asking, "Yan Yan, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Huo Yubai, why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yan Yan, are you going to see Huo Yubai? I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone." She came over and took my hand.
I chuckled softly, "I'd be even more worried if you were with me."
“So you know it’s dangerous outside, and you don’t want to drag me down with you, but I can’t let you face it alone.” She gripped my arm tightly: “Yan Yan, you’re my best friend, and I don’t want to lose you.”
“I don’t want to lose you either, Xixi, and neither do your parents.” I gently pushed her hand away: “I’ll be back soon.”
Mu Xi was very nervous and worried.
At that moment, a black Bentley pulled up in front of the door.
Mu Xi showed a relaxed expression.
I looked at her: "You called her?"
"So far, he's still someone I can trust, isn't he?" Mu Xi said with a smile.
Huo Yi walked over and said, "I've heard about what happened. I spoke with Yu Bai on the phone. I'll take you to him."
"Thank you for your hard work," I said.
Huo Yi gave Mu Xi a meaningful look: "No need to be polite. After all, if something happens to you, someone will probably cry their eyes out."
I glanced sideways at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi seemed hesitant to look me in the eye.
It seems a lot has happened while I was away.
