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.
