Chapter 1866: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (70)
Xia Cha went on stage to sing a song at the welcome party of Harbor City University as the representative of the freshmen.
However, to her surprise, a cla.s.smate recorded a video and posted it on Weibo and video websites.
Xia Cha originally had a group of fans on the short video website, but she had never shown her face.
Her fans chanced upon the video of Xia Cha and immediately recognized her voice.
The fans had long wanted to see Xia Cha’s true face. At the Welcome Gala, she was dressed in a white dress and her light and elegant makeup made her look like a lotus flower. Her eyebrows were long and slender, and her face was cla.s.sic. She stood on stage with a light breeze and elegance, making people feel that she was indescribably beautiful and moving.
When the fans saw Xia Cha’s face, they were all excited.
With her fans taking the lead, Xia Cha quickly gained popularity on Weibo.
…
In a private room of a high-end club in Harbor City.
Huo Jie showed the video to the man beside him.
The man was the Fourth Master of the Huo family. Fourth Master Huo and Third Master Huo had always been fighting in the dark for the right to inherit the family.
Although Old Master Huo was currently letting Third Master Huo be in charge, the shares in Third Master Huo and Fourth Master Huo’s hands were comparable. As long as Fourth Master Huo produced results and Old Master Huo gave him shares in the future, he had a chance of becoming the head of the family.
Huo Jie was Fourth Master Huo’s cousin and had always worked for him.
“Fourth Brother, look at this video.”
Fourth Master Huo took Huo Jie’s phone and watched the video of Xia Cha singing.
Xia Cha did sing well, but not to the extent that Fourth Master Huo was amazed. After all, Fourth Master Huo had seen many top singers both locally and abroad.
Fourth Master Huo narrowed his deep eyes. “Why?”
“Fourth Brother, don’t be anxious. Watch on. There will be a surprise.”
Fourth Master Huo patiently watched on.
Halfway through the song, the camera turned to the audience.
It was just a glance, but Fourth Master Huo saw a familiar figure.
“Third Brother?”
Huo Jie nodded. “Fourth Brother, don’t you realize that this singing girl looks like the dead Xia Tang? Third Brother secretly went to Harbor City University to watch her perform. Does that mean that he has a strong interest in her?”
“As long as we make the first move and bring this girl to our side, she will listen to us and we can use her to confuse Third Brother. At that time, our plan will work twice as well!”
Fourth Master Huo narrowed his bottomless eyes. “Do as you deem fit.”
…
That evening, Xia Cha went to the library.
Coming out of the library, she received a call from Xia Xing.
“Second Sister…”
Before Xia Cha could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the other end of the phone, “Xia Cha, your second sister is in my hands now. Come to this place in half an hour. Don’t make it public. Otherwise, your second sister…” Xia Xing screamed in pain, not knowing what the man on the other end of the phone had done to Xia Xing.
“Who are you?”
The moment Xia Cha finished speaking, the person hung up.
Soon, Xia Cha received a message. The person had sent her the address.
Xia Cha had no time to think. She ran out of the campus and took a taxi to the address sent by that person.
It was a dazzling and luxurious clubhouse.
Xia Cha alighted from the taxi. Someone standing by the door saw her. After asking her a question, he brought her in.
Xia Cha followed the man into a private room.
The lights in the room were dim and a slender figure was sitting on the burgundy sofa.
In the corner of the room stood a few people. Xia Xing was held by those people.
Xia Xing’s mouth was stuffed with something and she could not speak. When she saw Xia Cha approaching, she kept shaking her head at her and making m.u.f.fled sounds.
Xia Cha looked at the man sitting on the sofa and wracked her brains.
She did not know this person at all!
“Who are you? Why did you capture my sister?”
The man placed his legs on the coffee table and bit on a cigar. Under the lingering smoke, his eyes sized Xia Cha up.
“You look even better in person than in the video.” The man leaned against the back of the sofa, appearing to be very secretive. “You were the one who was supposed to be caught, but my subordinate caught the wrong person.”
Xia Cha frowned. “Since you caught the wrong person, let my sister go.”
Huo Jie looked at Xia Cha, who dared to speak to him in such a tone. He admired her courage.
“Give her the contract.”
Huo Jie’s lips curled up into a sinister smile. “Sign this contract and I’ll release your sister.”
Xia Cha took the contract from Huo Jie’s subordinate and glanced at it.
Huo Jie also ran an entertainment agency. He wanted to sign Xia Cha, and the contract would last twenty years. Without Huo Jie’s permission, Xia Cha could not break the contract.
This was practically an overbearing contract.
A cold look appeared at the corner of Xia Cha’s eyes. “Are you robbers? If I don’t sign it, will you detain me and my sister?”
Huo Jie raised an eyebrow. “Do you see the people holding your sister? If you don’t sign this contract, your sister might be…”
Xia Cha looked at Huo Jie’s expression. He did not seem to be joking.
Xia Xing shook her head with all her might as tears fell from her eyes.
The sisters had never experienced such a thing, especially Xia Xing. Her face was pale from fright, and her legs were trembling.
Xia Cha looked at Huo Jie’s stance and felt uneasy.
She did not know how she had provoked this person, but she could feel that this person’s background was not simple.
If she signed that contract, she would have no freedom for the next twenty years.
If she did not sign that contract, Xia Xing’s life would be ruined.
No matter which path it was, she did not want to see it.
Xia Cha bit her lower lip hard. “Okay, I’ll sign it.”
Xia Cha took the pen from Huo Jie’s subordinate and slowly squatted down.
Seeing Huo Jie lower his head and light up another cigar, Xia Cha took the opportunity to pick up a bottle of wine from the table and smashed it. Then, with lightning speed, she stepped forward and pressed it against Huo Jie’s neck.
The series of actions were quick and fierce. It did not seem like it was done by a nineteen-year-old girl.
“Tell those people to let go of my sister,” Xia Cha said coldly.
Huo Jie was stunned for a moment. He was about to say something when he felt a pain in his neck.
The little girl stabbed the broken bottle into his neck and he pursed his lips. “Do you know the consequences of hurting me?”
Xia Cha did not waste her breath, “I told you to let my sister go.”
A malicious glint flashed across Huo Jie’s eyes. He raised his hand that was holding the cigar. “Let that woman go.”
After Xia Xing regained her freedom, she walked toward Xia Cha, but the latter stopped her, “Second Sister, leave quickly!”
Xia Xing pulled the towel from her mouth. “But Cha Cha, you…”
“Hurry and leave!”
Xia Xing ran out of the room.
Xia Cha said to Huo Jie, “Come with me. Once I’m safe, I’ll let you go.”
