Huo Xiao also understood that it was impossible for the child to disappear without a reason. The second branch said that it was the Sixth Brother who did it. The other branches had also been stirring things up these few days, hinting indirectly that Sixth Brother was the one who kidnapped the child.

They shouldn’t treat him like a fool. Second Brother wasn’t a good person either. All these years, he had been pretending to be repentant and fearful of doing something wrong. However, he knew in his heart that he was the most greedy and ruthless person in the Huo family.

When the Second Brother was young, he was able to harm his own brother and almost killed the Sixth Brother. Today, during the New Year, the Sixth Brother had fallen out with them and offended the Second Brother, causing him to feel threatened and he feared that his plan might be ruined.

Last week, something had happened when Sixth Brother and Yu’er had taken Xiaoqi to record a show. Sixth Brother and the others thought they could keep it from him and that he didn’t know anything. But little did they know that he already knew everything.

Someone knocked on the study door.

“Come in!” Huo Xiao looked in the direction of the door and said. He watched the person enter and said, “Close the door.”

Huo Zhen walked in with his walking stick. When he saw the Old Master standing at the window facing him, his eyes darkened. He frowned slightly and called out in a deep voice, “Dad.”

“Second Brother, don’t look for me regarding this matter. It’s useless even if you look for me.” Huo Xiao put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sunset outside the window. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

“Dad!” Huo Zhen threw away his walking stick and knelt down with a thud. His eyes were red as he clenched his fists tightly. “I know that you know everything. Xu’er and the rest were kidnapped by the Sixth Brother. You know that he did it, but you didn’t let him hand them over. What is the meaning behind your actions?”

Huo Xiao did not speak and only sighed softly.

Huo Zhen thought for a long time and hesitated. In the end, he really could not find them, so he came to look for this heartless father who had never treated him as his son. “Dad, for the first time in my life, I beg you to let Xu’er and the rest go.”

Huo Xiao finally spoke up. He pointed at him as if he expected better from him. “Second Brother, don’t be silly!”

Huo Zhen said, “Dad, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Because of that incident back then, Sixth Brother has hated me for so many years. He couldn’t wait for me to die. At that time, I did something wrong because I was young and reckless. All these years, I’ve been avoiding him every day. What else does he want from me? To apologize with death?”
