"Things might not be as we think. I'll go to the airport with you tomorrow." I was worried.
Mu Xi nodded: "Okay."
"Get some rest," I told him, then left the room.
I called Xia Zhe: "Help me find out where Huo Xiao is."
Xia Zhe went to check after hanging up the phone.
A few minutes later.
Xia Zhe told me that Huo Xiao was at a bar.
He certainly had the leisure and inclination.
"Keep an eye on him, I'm going there right now!" I put down my phone, got dressed, and went out.
Liang Hui stood at the door, smoking: "Professor Shen, are you coming out?"
"Go and deal with someone. What about you? Why aren't you home so late at night?" I asked, surprised.
“I’m on duty tonight,” Liang Hui said.
"Oh." I remembered.
I've been on high alert ever since my mother's accident.
Bodyguards also need to stand guard and patrol at night.
"I'll go with you." Liang Hui was worried: "If they really want to beat someone up, I can help you."
"No, I don't want to involve anyone in this," I said.
“Then I should stay with you, just in case something unexpected happens,” Liang Hui insisted.
I thought about it and said, "Okay."
He went to get the car.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the entrance of a bar.
"Let's go in quietly, without making a scene," I instructed from inside the car. "When we see Huo Xiao come out, don't waste any words, just put him in a sack and start beating him up!"
Liang Hui frowned: "You came here just for this?"
"Yes!" I explained, "That bastard bullied Mu Xi and even used underhanded tactics, I'll kill him!"
"Is it necessary to be so direct?" Liang Hui asked.
I looked puzzled: "Is this already complicated enough?"
"How badly do you want to beat him up?" Liang Hui asked.
"You don't even acknowledge your own mother," I said fiercely.
"I understand. Huo Xiao doesn't know me. I can go in by myself." He got out of the car and left.
I wanted to go down, but he turned around and gave me a wink.
There was nothing I could do but wait in the car.
It's so boring.
Huo Yubai: Asleep?
Me: Hmm.
Huo Yubai: Do you have a habit of sleepwalking?
I was puzzled: No.
Huo Yubai: Then you should go to the hospital to see why you're wandering around on the street.
I was taken aback: How did you know I was outside?
Huo Yubai: What have you been doing? And why did you park your car in front of the bar?
I was furious: I haven't even asked you yet, how did you handle Huo Xiao's matter? You actually gave him the opportunity to cause trouble for Mu Xi!
Huo Yubai: I have indeed been a bit negligent lately. I didn't know he had gone to see Mu Xi again. I'll go there now.
Me: No need, no man is reliable!
Huo Yubai: ??? You can scold Huo Xiao, but don't scold me too. His own mother is protecting him behind his back, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Me: I knew I could handle this myself, so I hadn't had any worries about it for a long time.
Huo Yubai: You're right to scold me, it's all my fault.
I put down my phone and ignored him.
Twenty minutes have passed, and Liang Hui still hasn't come out.
But two minutes later.
An ambulance was parked at the entrance.
I peeked out.
A short while later, two medical staff carried a man into an ambulance.
The ambulance sped away.
Before I could react, Liang Hui got on the car from the other side and sat in the back seat.
"Are you alright?" I asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Liang Hui handed me a cell phone: "This cell phone contains a conversation between Huo Xiao and Mu Xi's cousin. The two of them had already conspired together."
"What?" I took the phone.
"When I went in, Huo Xiao was still bragging about how he belittled Miss Mu." Liang Hui said angrily, "How can there be such a shameless rich kid?"
"Shamelessness knows no class." I gripped my phone tighter. "Where is he?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem, just a little burn." Liang Hui said, "Before I even made a move, he stood up and threw money, which knocked over the bartender who came to deliver the wine. That wine is a local specialty, and it's still on fire. As a result, it all spilled on him, and his clothes quickly caught fire. The people next to him reacted quickly and helped him put out the fire, but I saw that his eyebrows were burned off."
I was still furious after hearing that: "He should have been burned alive!"
"I listened for a long time and knew there was a lot of stuff on the phone, so I secretly took it. Don't worry, no one saw it, and it wasn't caught on camera," Liang Hui said confidently.
"You've worked hard, let's go." Liang Hui and I drove back.
Just got to the door.
I saw Mu Xi storm out of the villa.
I got out of the car: "What's wrong, Mu Xi?"
"Yan Yan, I'm so angry! Huo Xiao got into trouble at the bar, and his mom called and told me to go check on him. She even tried to pressure me by using my parents as leverage. I'm so furious!" Mu Xi gritted her teeth.
“I’ll go with you.” I gave Liang Hui a wink.
Liang Hui understood.
Mu Xi had a headache: "I don't want to go, but my parents say I should go and see, after all, we were husband and wife."
"Xixi, are your parents confused about this?" I asked worriedly.
"Sigh, they're just worried that if I'm divorced, it'll be hard for me to find a man," Mu Xi explained. "I understand, but don't they know that a man like Huo Xiao is no good?"
"Let's go to the hospital first," I comforted him. "We'll see what happens when we get there."
Mu Xi nodded.
We got into the car.
After thinking about it, I sent Huo Yubai a WeChat message, asking him to inform Huo Yi to meet at the hospital.
After one hour.
We arrived at the hospital.
Huo Xiao is still in the emergency room.
Huo Xiao's mother, Gao Yunxin, was crying outside the operating room.
Huo Kangnian stood to the side, his expression serious.
"Waaah, Xiao'er, if anything happens to me, I don't want to live anymore," Gao Yunxin wailed.
She hadn't started crying yet, even before Mu Xi and I got close.
When she learned that we had arrived, she cried even louder.
Huo Kangnian frowned.
"Uncle, Auntie," Mu Xi greeted.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Xi Xi, Xiao'er is probably in grave danger this time. He's most worried about you. When you see him later, don't upset him. Talk to him nicely," Gao Yunxin instructed.
"Auntie, my parents invited me. The Huo and Mu families are still old friends. I'm just going on their behalf, I don't mean anything else." How could Mu Xi possibly agree to this? If she opened the door to this, Huo Xiao would stick to her like glue, impossible to shake off.
She really didn't expect Huo Xiao to go to such lengths.
Gao Yunxin was taken aback for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Xixi, it's been so long, are you still not over it?"
Huo Kangnian walked over: "Stop talking. I asked you to discipline your son, and look what you've done!"
"Isn't Huo Xiao your son? You're the only one who knows how to criticize me!" Gao Yunxin said angrily. "I know that your affair was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. You don't like me at all. You still have your eyes on Huo Yi's mother, don't you!"
