Huo Ci frowned. “Second sister-in-law, calm down. Let’s talk it out slowly. What happened to Xu’er and Lin’er?”

Humph!

Now that it was their turn, they knew how to be anxious?

His Second Brother was also a coward, he dared to do everything but not admit it. He even dared to lay his hands on Xiaoqi. Now he was just giving him a tit for tat, what’s the big deal?

“You’re asking the obvious.” Zhang Yuechan’s eyes were red as she pointed at him angrily. “Huo Ci, someone saw it with their own eyes when you took Lin’er and Xu’er away. Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it? I know you’ve always hated your second brother because of that matter, but it’s been decades. Your second brother has already realized his mistake. Can’t you let us off?”

Huo Ci looked surprised. “Second sister-in-law, are you saying that Xu’er and Lin’er are missing? Then why aren’t you guys looking for them quickly? Did you think coming here to make a ruckus can help you find them? Recently, human traffickers have been running rampant in Beijing. If they’re caught, they’ll break their legs, cripple them, and throw them on the streets to beg for food.”

When Zhang Yuechan heard this, she was so angry that her vision darkened and she almost fainted. She gritted her teeth and said, “Huo Ci, stop talking nonsense. You were the one who took the children away. Dad, please save your great-grandson, Sixth brother kidnapped your great-grandchildren in order to take revenge on us!”

“Nonsense.” When Huo Xiao heard this, he finally understood what they were arguing about. He was so angry that his face turned green. “Why would Sixth Brother do that to the children? Why didn’t you go and look for the children when you had lost them? Why are you causing trouble here?”

“Grandfather, it’s Sixth Uncle.” Huo Xuanze walked out, his eyes full of hatred. “Someone saw it. Sixth Uncle took Xu’er and the rest away. We came back to beg the Sixth Uncle to let the child go on account that we’re all family. If the Sixth Uncle wants to vent his anger, we will not complain no matter what.”

“I’ve never seen them before.” Huo Ci laughed coldly, his gaze dangerous. His thin lips parted slightly as he smiled and said, “Ah Ze, you have to think carefully before you speak. Did you see it with your own eyes? Who told you this? You would rather believe an outsider than me?”

It was good that someone had witnessed it. He had deliberately left something behind for others to witness it. If someone saw him taking the person away, they would be more anxious and more afraid, right?

“You saw it with your own eyes?” Huo Xiao exuded a dominating aura, causing the surrounding air to become much thinner. He glanced at them coldly. “If any of you dare to spout nonsense, see if I don’t whip you unfilial descendants to death.”

Huo Xuanze was shocked. He looked at his grandfather and stuttered, “Grandpa, the witness said that Sixth Uncle is the culprit.”

Huo Xiao glared at him and snorted. “Is that so?”

Huo Xuanze gritted his teeth and his body stiffened under his gaze. He braced himself and nodded. “Yes.”

“Then show me the evidence.” Huo Xiao did not believe that Huo Ci would do such a thing.

Although the Sixth Brother was a scoundrel, he also valued relationships the most. He knew how to differentiate between gratitude and grudges and had long forgotten about the grudges between him and the Second Brother. How would he lay his hands on the two children just because of a previous grudge?

“Grandpa, the eyewitness said that it’s Sixth Uncle.” Huo Xuancong took a step forward and insisted. “Sixth Uncle, we’re family. If I produce evidence, I’m afraid Grandpa won’t spare you. If you know what’s good for you, release the children quickly!”

“Fuck, is this how you talk to me?” Huo Ci had a bad temper. He kicked Huo Xuancong with all his might. “Today, I’ll teach you how to talk to your elders.”

“Sixth Brother! How dare you?” Zhang Yuechan shouted as her son was sent flying with a kick from Huo Ci. He landed on the ground with a loud thud and looked at Huo Xiao in anger, begging for help. “Dad, the Sixth Brother is so lawless. Aren’t you going to take care of him?”

Huo Xuanze wanted to go forward and pull him back, but Huo Ci glared at him with murderous intent. He stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move. He could only seek help from the others. “Grandpa, look at Sixth Uncle. Does he even respect you? Does he treat us as family?”

“All of you, stop!” Huo Xiao shouted and hit Huo Ci with his walking stick. “You bastard! How dare you hit someone in front of me? Stop it!”

“Dad, he was the one who disrespected his elders first. I’ll teach him a lesson and teach him how to behave.” When Huo Ci was hit by the walking stick, he vented all his anger on Huo Xuancong. He kicked him repeatedly, using all his strength. “Ah Cong, do you know how to talk to Sixth Uncle now?”

Ling Sheng was afraid that she would be dragged into their conflict, so she quickly pulled Xiaoqi to a safe distance. When she saw her father kicking Huo Xuancong ferociously, and her grandfather using his walking stick to hit him, she felt that the scene before her was very comical.

Her grandfather hadn’t been ruthless, but her father had. Huo Xuancong was badly injured from his kick, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Yuechan panicked, she cried and screamed for him to stop. Huo Ci did not stop, and it was obvious that he was going to continue hitting him. She was afraid that he would really beat her son to death, so she could only seek Old Master Huo for help, but the old master did not budge. “Dad, stop hitting me. Stop hitting me. Please.”

“Sixth Brother.” Huo Xiao shouted angrily and he stopped.

Huo Ci kicked Huo Xuancong twice more before stopping. He looked down at Huo Xuancong condescendingly and licked the corner of his lips in a bloodthirsty manner. “Ah Cong, do you know what words can be spoken and what cannot now?”

Fuck, what kind of person dared to argue with him? They must be courting death! They knew very well what their family had done.

“Alright, alright. Calm down.” Su Xiyin pulled Huo Xiao back. When she looked at the Second Brother and his family, hatred flashed across her eyes, but her expression remained the same. “We’re family. Let’s talk it out nicely. Why did you attack?”

Ci’er had already told her that the mastermind behind Xiaoqi’s disappearance and abduction was Second Brother. She hated him, but she could not bring up this matter in front of her husband. After all, Second Brother was his biological son, and they are all relatives. She did not want to make things difficult for him, nor did she want him to develop a grudge against her.

Moreover, no one had told her husband about Xiaoqi being taken away. They had only followed the clues to reach Second Brother, but they could not find any concrete evidence to prove that he was the one who had hired someone to do it. There was no way to accuse him.

Ling Sheng glanced at her grandmother and then at her father. A strange feeling arose in her heart. She had a feeling that they were hiding something from her, the two of them knew something that she did not..
