The sound of the villagers' footsteps had already distracted Huo Jue and Huo Xiao.

Wen Xia Nuan felt groggy and her eyes fell on Huo Xiao and Huo Jue. Before she could even open her mouth, she heard the villagers' concerned voices ask, "Is Wen Zhiqing okay?"

"Huo Xiao, Huo Chen, why did you two bring Wen Zhiqing here in the middle of the night?"

"Yeah, Huo Jue suddenly showed up in the middle of the night and scared us all. What are you going to do to Wen Zhiqing?"

"Huo Xiao, Huo Chen, you two brought Wen Zhiqing here. Did you intend to do something bad to her?"

Huo Jue also quickly came to Wen Xia Nuan's side at this time: "Are you okay?"

Wen Xia Nuan was held by Huo Jue's hand, and she quickly shook her head.

Huo Jue felt a little relieved in his heart. His eyes fell on Huo Chen who was not far away. His tone was naturally not much better: "Huo Chen, what on earth are you and Huo Xiao doing?"

Huo Chen couldn't utter a word.

Huo Jue's eyes fell on Huo Xiao: "Huo Xiao, since he doesn't want to talk about it, then you should do it."

Huo Xiao's eyes swept over Huo Jue, his gaze burning as he quickly said, "Big Brother, Second Brother wants me to help him kidnap Wen Zhiqing and make her pay the price."

Huo Xiao spoke out his words hesitantly.

Huo Chen's eyes narrowed as his gaze fell on Huo Xiao. Without a second thought, he grabbed his collar and said, "Huo Xiao, do you think you can escape? After you gave me away, you really think you can get away with it, right?"

Huo Xiao's eyes were cold and Huo Chen's tone was very angry. It was at this moment that he realized that Huo Xiao had probably outmaneuvered him.

He looked at Huo Xiao in frustration. Huo Xiao's half-smile fell on Huo Chen. "Second brother, I just understood this matter before you did. Why are you reacting so strongly? Or do you think you won't turn the tables on me?"

Huo Xiao's eyes fell on Huo Chen. It was the first time he knew that Huo Chen could be afraid sometimes.

A strange feeling of joy rose in Huo Xiao's heart. He looked at Huo Chen with an unprecedented sense of relief.

Huo Chen reacted quickly, but at this moment he was unable to really change the situation.

The people standing around were already talking about it.

They didn't expect Huo Chen to be so cruel and ruthless.

Huo Chen suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Everyone looked at him with a different look in their eyes.

Huo Chen felt very uncomfortable being stared at by people all around him. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Huo Xiao, tell me honestly, how did Wen Zhiqing get here?"

I don't know who in the crowd uttered this sentence.

When Huo Xiao was named, he quickly revealed everything he knew.

At this moment, Huo Chen wanted to kill Huo Xiao.

"Huo Xiao, you clearly worked with me to deal with Wen Zhiqing, so why are you pretending to be a good person now? You leaked all this information. Do you really think you can get away with it?"

Huo Xiao shook himself in fear, and at this moment Wen Xia Nuan also came out, her eyes falling on Huo Xiao: "Don't be afraid."

She looked directly at Huo Chen and said seriously, "Huo Chen, didn't you do all these things?"

Huo Chen was stunned. When he looked at Wen Xia Nuan, he wanted to refute but found that he couldn't say a word because Wen Xia Nuan was talking at the moment.

"I was kidnapped here by Huo Xiao, and you're the one behind this. I also heard you were going to throw me into the pond and drown me. Now that you've done this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Wen Xia Nuan's words made Huo Chen's face turn very ugly. Even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't say it out loud.

Huo Chen's gaze fell on Wen Xia Nuan, who looked cold and indifferent: "Huo Chen, I thought I hadn't really offended you, but you turned out to be so vicious. You must give us an explanation for these things."

When Wen Xia Nuan's words came, Huo Chen also looked at her, his expression was indifferent, and Wen Xia Nuan's image as a victim could naturally arouse anyone's sympathy.

"I really can't tell from this brat Huo Chen. He appears to be so gentle on the surface, but how could he be so cruel at heart?"

"That's right. I don't know how Li Mei gave birth to a son who turned out to be so vicious."

"What if someone really dies?"

There was a flurry of chatter all around, and the captain stood there with a serious expression on his face, not seeming to be going anywhere.

"Huo Chen, tell me what exactly you want to do now?"

"Captain, do you think that this was all my doing?"

Huo Chen's eyes widened as he looked at the captain: "If I were the only one doing this, I would have accepted it, but Huo Xiao, do you think he is really innocent?"

He sneered, "Huo Xiao, although I don't know who you've agreed to cooperate with, you can't escape responsibility for these things now!"

A flash of hatred flashed across Huo Chen's eyes, and before anyone could react, he dragged Huo Xiao into the pond.

The huge sound of falling into the water woke up the villagers around.

"Oh, hurry up and save him!"

"This pond is very deep! We can't let them get into trouble in front of us."

A flurry of chattering could be heard, and Huo Jue's eyes were also filled with concern.

He took off his clothes and jumped into the pond. He was so fast that no one could stop him.

Some people who can swim also jumped into the pond.

These actions were totally unexpected.

Time passed minute by minute, and after finally rescuing the two people to the shore, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

The captain looked towards Huo Chen with a very grim expression: "This matter must be handled by our Self-Defense Force. Huo Chen, you have done a very bad job this time."

Huo Chen's gaze fell on the captain. He sneered but didn't say anything.

The captain glanced at the villagers around him and quickly sent a few reliable people to escort Huo Chen back to the village committee.

It was clearly late at night, but the village was bustling with activity.

Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan returned home and packed up their things. When Wen Xia Nuan saw Huo Jue about to go out, she couldn't help but stop him: "Are you going out to look for the captain now?"

Huo Jue paused and nodded, "This incident has a huge impact. I really need to clean up the mess."
