Su Yaoyao fell silent upon hearing this.

Yes, Huo Xiting is a human being with flesh and blood, not a beast. Although Yu Qing deceived him and even tried to harm Zhang Wei, no one knows whether Yu Qing actually interfered in the Huo family's affairs.

Su Yaoyao suddenly thought of what Old Madam Yu said: Huo Xiting spent the whole night at the police station yesterday, and then he came to find Yu Chiyan. Could it be that Yu Qing and the Huo family have nothing to do with each other?

Thinking of all this, Su Yaoyao's heart sank.

...

In the study.

Two tall men stood facing each other, their powerful auras making the surrounding air seem heavier.

Huo Xiting's brows furrowed with suppressed anger: "Don't you want to know who the mastermind behind helping Yu Qing harm your parents is?"

Yu Chiyan stood beside the desk, his tall figure radiating a chilling aura.

Upon hearing Huo Xiting's words, the man's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at him with icy eyes.

"Who else could have helped harm my parents besides those people from the dark organization?"

Huo Xiting clenched his fist at his side, a hint of struggle flashing across his face.

"He said that those people in the Dark Organization are not as simple as you think!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chiyan looked up at him, his gaze unusually cold.

"Do you really think that if you spare his life, he'll tell you the whole truth? He'll reveal all the secrets he knows about the Dark Organization. Do you think that's possible?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting's face paled slightly. Faced with Yu Chiyan's persistent questioning, he stubbornly uttered a sentence in the end.

"He promised me that if he could get the higher-ups to relent and spare his life, he would tell me why he targeted Zhang Wei and who was responsible for the downfall of my Huo family!"

Yu Qing admitted that he did indeed intend to use him as a tool for his revenge.

However, he did not harm the Huo family after he came out. His encounter with him was indeed just a coincidence.

Furthermore, Yu Qing explained why he took action against Zhang Wei, saying it was to protect him and make him give up investigating what happened back then.

Huo Xiting thought of what Yu Qing had said in prison.

"The Huo family's affairs happened too long ago, but aren't you curious why, despite the huge uproar surrounding the Huo family's tragedy, the police found nothing and ultimately chose to let it go?"

“Xi Ting, when I learned that you were a child of the Huo family and that I was still investigating what happened back then, I didn’t intend to tell you the truth. After all, you are the child I raised. I didn’t tell you in order to protect you.”

Thinking of these words, a complex look appeared in Huo Xiting's eyes.

Looking at his expression, Yu Chiyan's brows furrowed: "You've been by Huo Xiting's side for so long, do you know him? Do you understand what kind of person he is?"

Seeing Huo Xiting's face darken again, Yu Chiyan smiled.

"He's been keeping it a secret from you all this time. You've been by his side for so long and you still didn't know he was a member of the dark organization. So tell me, how much of what he's saying to you now is true?"

Yu Chiyan spoke indifferently, and Huo Xiting knew that he was right. But judging from the current situation, apart from Yu Qing, no one knew what had happened to the Huo family back then.

"You know what it feels like to bear the burden of a blood feud, don't you? Don't forget what you promised me."

Yu Chiyan's eyes darkened, and when he spoke again, his voice carried a hint of coldness, and his gaze became somewhat indifferent.

“I will help you continue to investigate what happened back then, but Yu Qing, I will not plead for him, and neither of us can plead for him.”

What Yu Qing is harming is the interests of the entire Chinese nation.

Huo Xiting's clenched hand loosened and loosened again, finally seeming to lose all strength.

"Okay, I hope you won't go back on your word."

"Of course not."

After receiving Yu Chiyan's reply, Huo Xiting turned and went downstairs.

Seeing her come down, Su Yaoyao quickly went up to her and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Huo Xiting's expression was not good, but he still tried to soften his tone when facing Su Yaoyao.

"Um."

"Um, are you guys alright?"

Huo Xiting smiled and said, "It's alright, don't worry. Yaoyao, I have something to do, so I have to go now."

Just after she finished speaking, Yu Chiyan came downstairs. He seemed to be in no condition, and Su Yaoyao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

She didn't try to keep Huo Xiting and let him leave directly.

He had only been gone a short while when Chu Ling called. After Su Qingqing left the hospital, she was taken to the police station for investigation. She told him everything, including the matter of murdering Old Madam Yu under Yu Qing's instructions.

Su Qingqing has already confessed to her crime and is just waiting for the court hearing and verdict, but now she is clamoring to see Yu Chiyan.

Yu Chiyan was just about to go to the Imperial Court when Yu Qing had already slipped up and the Imperial Court's grievances had been cleared. Now, a lot of things were waiting for him to deal with.

Upon hearing this, the man frowned deeply: "I don't have time."

Chu Ling sighed and glanced at Su Qingqing's face, which was filled with despair and blankness.

"Um, Mr. Yu, why don't you come over tonight? She seems a bit off."

Upon hearing the words "President Yu," Su Qingqing reacted instantly.

"Yu Chiyan? Captain Chu, is he willing to come see me?"

Su Qingqing's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at him with hope.

Chu Ling glanced at the phone in her hand and shook her head helplessly.
