Chapter 2: The Huo Family in the Imperial Capital

Chapter 2 The Huo Family in the Imperial Capital

Imperial capital, Huo family.

"Master, Master, there is news about the young master!"

Butler Wang rushed in from outside, his face full of joy.

"What?! Where are the people?"

Huo Yuheng, the head of the Huo family, stood up suddenly.

"I heard that he was abducted by human traffickers and taken to Xincheng, Hu Province..."

Before Butler Wang finished speaking, he saw that Huo Yuheng's face had turned pale, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Master. The young master has been rescued. I have arranged for someone to go to Xincheng and ensure that the young master is brought back as soon as possible."

Even so, Huo Yuheng's face still didn't look good.

When Butler Wang saw this, he also felt suspicious.

Huo Yuchen is the only child of the third generation of the Huo family. He was very well protected, but he was still abducted. If you say there is no trick, Butler Wang would never believe it.

"Tell the eldest brother to go in person. This is his son! Where is he? Go and call him back!"

Huo Yuheng roared, his angry chest heaving violently.

"The eldest master just called and said that he has a lot of things to do recently and may not be able to make it in time."

Butler Wang said in embarrassment.

The eldest son Huo Lingjun has a calm personality and is the designated successor of the Huo family. In the upper class of the entire imperial capital, he is looked up to by the second generation.

Even some old vixens from aristocratic families are no match for him.

The eldest young master is good in every way, except that he had a misunderstanding with the eldest young master's wife some time ago, which implicated the younger young master. She still has a grudge against the younger young master's life experience.

"This bastard!"

Huo Yuheng gritted his teeth.

"Master, although the young master has been saved, he is probably very frightened. His wife has been bedridden for many years, and the eldest young master's wife is also very ill. How about you go there in person?"

Butler Wang said tentatively.

But he also knew that this was unrealistic.

Huo Yuchen's disappearance was unusual. As the head of the Huo family, Huo Yuheng was in a position to take responsibility. If something happened again, the entire Huo family would be finished.

However, the next moment, Huo Yuheng directly ordered: "Go prepare the helicopter and go to Xincheng secretly."

"Yes! No, sir, are you really going?"

Butler Wang agreed subconsciously, and when he realized what was going on, he immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

I told you not to talk too much, now look what the master has done. If anything goes wrong, the eldest master will tear him to pieces!

"Old Wang, you have to remember that in my Huo family, relatives are the most important. If they are gone, what's the use of the Huo family even if they have billions of assets?"

Huo Yuheng said in a somewhat lonely tone.

The Huo family has survived from the previous dynasty to the present day and is still standing strong, all because of its emphasis on friendship and loyalty.

The previous generations were fine, as each generation only had one son. But when it came to his generation, he gave birth to five sons and one daughter, which meant that his descendants were prosperous and there was hope that the Huo family would expand.

However, there is always a price to pay for every gain. It is true that he and his wife had five sons and one daughter, but the youngest daughter was stolen when she was just born and her whereabouts have been unknown to this day.

Among the five sons, only the eldest son, Huo Lingjun, got married and had a son, Huo Yuchen.

The other four sons seemed to be under a curse. They were all in their thirties, but not only did they not get married, they even stayed away from women.

Everyone in the capital secretly laughed at the Huo family for having four perpetual bachelors.

Fortunately, these bastards are not interested in women and have not brought men back, otherwise the words behind their backs would be even more unpleasant.

Butler Wang grew up in the Huo family and knew the Huo family's situation very well, so he agreed with Huo Yuheng's words.

"I'll get ready right away, and I promise I'll be able to see the young master tomorrow morning!"

Butler Wang left in a hurry, leaving Huo Yuheng standing there for a long time with a lonely look on his face before he turned around and went upstairs.

In a spacious and bright bedroom on the second floor, a beautiful middle-aged woman was lying quietly on the bed with a gastric tube inserted, an oxygen mask on her mouth and nose, and her eyes closed, as if she was asleep, with a peaceful expression.

"Jingwan, Yuchen has been found. I will bring him back to see you tomorrow. You should have a good rest and don't worry."

Huo Yuheng sat in front of the bed, holding his wife's hand, and whispered.

He had held this hand for more than ten years, and it had never responded to him.

If his palms weren't as warm as normal ones, he would have suspected that his wife had passed away long ago.

It has been more than ten years since the little daughter was stolen when she was just born. My wife was shocked during the confinement period and suddenly fainted, and never woke up again.

"Jingwan, you have to take care of yourself. I will definitely find our daughter and bring her back to see you while I am still alive..."

Huo Yuheng wiped his face and blinked away the sparkling tears in his eyes.

Xincheng, Luqiao Police Station.

At three o'clock in the morning, the police officer on duty was startled by a series of banging on the door. When he walked to the door, he saw a disheveled man lying stiffly in the lobby of the police station. When he saw the police officer on duty, his eyes were filled with joy of being rescued.

The little girl who was staying in the police station was now stepping on the man and looking at him indifferently.

The situation was a bit strange. The police officer on duty subconsciously glanced around, but stopped the next moment.

His gaze lingered on a wanted poster on the bulletin board for a moment, then quickly looked at the man on the ground.

This repeated several times, and finally he pulled out his cell phone: "Boss! The murderer on the wanted list has been caught!"

"Who caught him? Uh..."

The police officer on duty looked at Li Qinghuang and subconsciously lowered his voice: "It's the little girl who caught the human traffickers during the day."

It was unknown what was said on the other end of the phone. The police officer on duty quickly hung up the phone and said to Li Qinghuang: "Our boss will be here right away. This matter is very serious. I will need your cooperation in recording a statement later."

Li Qinghuang nodded slightly and retracted her foot.

As for recording a confession, she is familiar with this job, having done it yesterday.

"Is there a place to take a shower?"

The murderer hid in the sewer, making her stink. If she hadn't held her breath in time, she would have fainted from the suffocation.

"Here, there is a place to take a shower, but there are no clothes to change into..."

At this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow in from outside the door, and a foul smell came to the face, making the police officer on duty subconsciously cover his mouth and nose and take several steps back.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly said, "I'll go find you a clean set of clothes, and you can wear them as you please."

Having said that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Soon, the police officer on duty found a clean men's shirt and a pair of shorts and handed them to her.

He said somewhat awkwardly: "That's all, you..."

Before he could finish, Li Qinghuang grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom.

To her, the body is nothing but skin, and dressing nicely will only make her feel slightly happier.

When Li Qinghuang came out of the bathroom, Chief Yang of the police station had already arrived, and several police officers appeared in the interrogation room.

The murderer was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, waiting to be interrogated.

When the murderer saw Li Qinghuang coming in, his eyes widened and his expression became visibly frightened.

Seeing this scene, the director frowned, but didn't think about anything else.

However, no matter what they asked next, the murderer said nothing, but just opened his mouth wide, like a mute who wanted to speak but couldn't.

In desperation, Director Yang turned to look at Li Qinghuang: "Excuse me, young comrade, how did you catch him?"

Li Qinghuang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then walked forward and lightly kicked the murderer's leg.

“Crack!”

A clear sound of bone breaking was heard in the silent interrogation room.

"This is how you catch it."

Li Qinghuang was about to step back, but after thinking for a moment, he stretched out a finger and poked the murderer.

The next moment, a pig-slaughtering howl resounded throughout the interrogation room.

"I admit it. I admit everything!"

The murderer's expression was horribly distorted, and beads of cold sweat the size of beans were oozing out of his forehead.

“You caught it like this?”

The corners of Director Yang's mouth twitched violently. He was really finding it increasingly difficult to understand the girl in front of him.

She is ruthless and also knows the legendary Dian Xue Kung Fu. What kind of background does this girl have?

Yes, in just two days, Director Yang's worldview had been reshaped by Li Qinghuang, and he realized that there really were some extraordinary things in this world.

“Yes, that’s how I caught him.”

Li Qinghuang nodded in acknowledgment.
