Chapter 1071: If People Don’t Offend Me, I Won’t Offend Them
Su Xiyin followed Huo Ci into his bedroom and closed the door before asking softly, “Did you do it?”
Huo Ci smiled. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Su Xiyin pinched him. “Mom knows that you hate Second Brother, but Second Brother was the one who did that. It has nothing to do with the children. Why are you torturing the children? Where did you take them?”
Huo Ci’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was a hint of bloodthirstiness in them. “Mom, you know how to give someone a taste of their own medicine, right? Second Brother dared to do that to me, so why can’t I do the same to him? Let him have the taste of losing a grandchild, or two at once!”
“The children are innocent. You can’t do anything to Xu’er and the rest.” Su Xiyin was shocked by the bloodl.u.s.t in her son’s eyes. She patted him. “Did you hear that?”
How could the grudges between adults involve children?
“Mom, if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them.” Huo Ci’s gaze was dark and cold with bloodl.u.s.t. After pausing for a moment, he said, “I won’t lay a hand on the children. Whoever did this will pay for it.”
He also knew that the children were innocent. Second Brother, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, was not human. He would even lay his hands on children. But he was a human, so he would not lower himself to the level of a beast. He would not touch a hair on the two children that he had taken away.
Huo Xu and Huo Lin had gone missing, and the second branch of the Huo family was frantically searching for them. The other branches, including Huo Ci, were extremely anxious to help search for them. The disappearance of the children was not a small matter, and they did not know the motives of the kidnapper. The kidnappers did not extort them nor ask for ransom. They do not have any news of them at all, it was as if they had vanished into thin air.
The Huo Family was powerful and had searched every corner of Beijing, but they did not find anyone suspicious. What was even stranger was that there was no sign of the children or the kidnapper in any of the surveillance cameras. It was a mysterious disappearance.
Ling Sheng sat on the sofa playing games and eating fruits.
Huo Xuanzhou sat down beside her and s.n.a.t.c.hed the fruit from her hand. He immediately tried to trick her. “Did your father do this?”
“Get lost.” Ling Sheng glared at him. “Your father did it.”
Huo Xuanzhou laughed. “Then, where do you think Huo Lin and Huo Xu went? Were they taken away by aliens? This is too strange. Second Uncle is usually the most cautious, so those two little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have a few bodyguards with them. Normal human traffickers don’t have the guts.”
Ling Sheng said, “Then they might have been taken away by aliens.”
Huo Xuanzhou nodded with a smile as well. “It’s good that they’re taken away, I find those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds annoying anyway. I don’t know how they were taught, they don’t have any manners at all. It’s best if they’re taken to outer s.p.a.ce for dissection.”
He did not believe that the disappearance of Huo Lin and Huo Xu had nothing to do with Sixth Uncle. He heard from his father that Second Uncle had attacked Xiaoqi some time ago. How could Sixth Uncle let him off given his temper?
Ling Sheng asked, “Still no news?”
Huo Xuanzhou looked at her meaningfully and shook his head. “No.”
If it was Sixth Uncle and Jun Shiyan who did it, the Huo family aside, even G.o.d would not be able to find them unless they released them personally.
He even suspected that his Second Uncle was a r.e.t.a.r.d. How dare he lay hands on Xiaoqi? Was he really that confident in himself and believed that he could get away with it? The enemies he was about to face were Sixth Uncle and Jun Shiyan!
“Sigh, if the children were kidnapped by human traffickers, their life will be over.” Ling Sheng sighed, her face full of worry. “If we really can’t find the children, then the Second Aunt and Second Uncle will be so sad!”
Huo Xuanzhou looked at her pretentious look and sighed as well. “That’s right. It wasn’t easy for me to prepare for Grandfather’s birthday banquet. Now that something has happened, the birthday banquet is going to be canceled.”
“What does canceling the birthday banquet have to do with you?” When Ling Sheng saw his regretful expression, she subconsciously felt that he was definitely preparing to do something earth-shattering at her grandfather’s birthday banquet.
“Grandfather’s 70th birthday is a big event, and it’s going to be canceled all of a sudden. Can’t I express my sadness and regret?” Huo Xuanzhou knocked her head with her fingers and snorted. “I’m not heartless like you.”
“Who’s heartless? What are you talking about? I still remember when we first met. ” Ling Sheng was a petty and vengeful person. She looked at him disdainfully while chewing on a fruit. “You said that the string of beads you threw into the sea was a birthday gift for Grandpa.”
Huo Xuanzhou played dumb. “What did you say? When did I see you? Why don’t I remember anything?”
Ling Sheng kicked his calf angrily and rolled her eyes at him. “That’s true. I wonder who jumped off the boat and swam back from the river.”
“I was beaten up by your father when I just came ash.o.r.e. At that time, I was still thinking, f.u.c.k, which little demon could stop my Sixth Uncle from beating me up?” Huo Xuanzhou followed up and even smiled nostalgically.
At that time, he did not expect the little demon to be his sister. If he had known earlier, he would never have created a chance for Jun Shiyan to save the damsel in distress. He regretted the fact that his sister was tricked away by a necklace.
“Did my dad hit you?” Ling Sheng really did not know about this.
“Yes, your father has. .h.i.t me many times.” Huo Xuanzhou looked at her and told her everything he knew. He sighed with emotion. “Little Sister, you don’t know. Your father, my Sixth Uncle, actually cares a lot about you and dotes on you. He just doesn’t know how to express himself. Men are all like that.”
Ling Sheng knew that her father was stubborn but soft-hearted. However, when she heard Huo Xuanzhou say that he had secretly done something for her behind her back and defended her, she felt warm and touched. She sniffled and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Is my father really that good?”
“It’s alright!” Huo Xuanzhou laughed coquettishly and hugged her. “But of course, he is not as good as mine.”
Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away in disdain. “Shameless!”
With such a big incident happening to the Huo family, the two eldest grandchildren suddenly disappeared without a trace, making Huo Xiao anxious. After all, they were his great-grandchildren too. The birthday banquet had already been canceled. Why would he still hold a birthday banquet? At this time, he was not in the mood to celebrate his birthday.
The Huo family agreed to postpone the birthday party until the children were found.
Huo Ci waited for two days, but Huo Zhen was nowhere to be seen. The family of the second branch did not come to find trouble with him or ask him for the children. Instead, they made a big fuss and turned the entire capital upside down searching for them..
