Chapter 607 I'm telling the truth

Xia Xingxing no longer trusts Huo Nanxiao, and she doesn't believe what Lu Qi said. If Daddy really doubted Xia Wanwan, why did he get engaged to her? And why did he protect her so much?

“She wasn’t like this when she was yelling at me for Xia Wanwan’s sake today.” Xingxing rolled her eyes at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Yuan hid behind Xingxing and whispered, "Uncle Lu, we will follow Uncle Li closely, so you don't need to worry. You should go back."

Chuchu's sweet, childlike voice said, "Let's go quickly, we don't want to see a certain person."

Lu Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was actually quite helpless. There was nothing he could do to stop Huo Shao from doing something wrong!

Since Huo Shao wanted to clear the room, Lu Qi had no choice but to do as Huo Nanxiao said, taking the three children away and locking the door of the private room.

Only Huo Nanxiao and Li Yancheng remained in the large private room.

Li Yancheng crossed his arms, leaned back lazily in his chair, and smirked lazily, "Let's get straight to the point."

"What do you want for me to tell the truth?" Huo Nanxiao didn't mince words.

He knew that Li Yancheng was after him and that everything he did was for the purpose of gaining more benefits.

Li Yancheng: "Even if you want me to talk, you have to tell me what you want to know?"

"You're the only one who knows the truth about what happened back then. Are you dragging Xia Wanwan into this today to get revenge on me, or is there something suspicious about what happened back then?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Why don't you investigate it yourself?"

“I’ve investigated.” Huo Nanxiao looked at him dangerously: “But with the Li family’s abilities, it’s not impossible for them to pass for the real thing.”

Li Yancheng raised his eyes, meeting Huo Nanxiao's deep and terrifying gaze, and provocatively curled the corners of his mouth: "Since you know I would do something shady, you still believe what I say? Nanxiao, back then you swore that you only liked Xia Wanwan, so why are you doubting her now? This is not your style."

"I don't want to waste my time with you. You'd better tell me the truth."

Huo Nanxiao grabbed Li Yancheng by the neck, pinning him to the chair, his fingers tightening as if he could snap Li Yancheng's neck at any moment.

Despite the obvious danger, Li Yancheng merely chuckled, seemingly unconcerned that his life was now in Huo Nanxiao's hands.

"If you don't dare to kill me, why put on airs? If you want me to tell you the truth about what happened back then, what can you give me?" Li Yancheng retorted.

Huo Nanxiao: "What do you want?"

Their eyes met, and a murderous aura surged within them.

Li Yancheng smiled faintly: "I want you to divorce Xia Ningxi. I want her."

"Impossible." Huo Nanxiao refused without hesitation.

Li Yancheng said, "Then there's nothing more to say."

He got up to leave, but Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on his neck, forcibly pushing Li Yancheng back down.

"Get out of my way." Li Yancheng lost his temper.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't force me to take action."

"Ha, Huo Nanxiao, are you sick? Do you dare believe what I say? No matter what I say, you can't possibly believe me, so why bother seeking answers from me? It's pointless whether I say it or not!" Li Yancheng said.

Huo Nanxiao scrutinized the man before him. Not a single word he uttered could be trusted, yet Huo Nanxiao genuinely hoped that Li Yancheng could reveal the truth of what had happened back then, for only he knew what had truly transpired.

If Li Yancheng doesn't want to answer, at least outsiders won't be able to find out.

However, if Li Yancheng doesn't speak today, Huo Nanxiao has no intention of letting him go back alive.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You know what I want. Every word you say needs to be supported by evidence."

“I’ve known Xia Ningxi for a long time. We met around the time of your accident.” Li Yancheng smiled slightly and decided not to pretend anymore.

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "You were there the night Wanwan had her accident, weren't you?"

“That’s right, I was there. I know everything Xia Wanwan has done, and I also know what Xia Ningxi has done,” Li Yancheng admitted.

Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on his neck, asking, "Did Xia Ningxi push Wanwan into the sea?"

"Heh, getting straight to the point. What makes you think I'll tell you the answer? I can give you the answer you want, but can you give me what I want?" Li Yancheng retorted.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Apart from Xia Ningxi, you can propose other conditions."

“Fine, I need your cooperation in building satellite base stations in all suitable locations in the capital, establishing a secure network, and granting me control of Mindong. Also, I need you to open up connections in Lingcheng so that the Li family can smoothly expand the channels between the capital and Lingcheng.” Li Yancheng made an outrageous demand.

What he wanted was control over the technological information rights of these two cities.

He is very bold and knows how to ask for an exorbitant amount.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want Li Yancheng to establish himself in the capital, which is why he suppressed him. Huo Nanxiao knew that once Li Yancheng had successfully completed all his preparations, he would be an extremely dangerous figure. He could easily infiltrate the enemy's information system and obtain what he wanted.

Huo Nanxiao did not agree.

Li Yancheng seemed to have anticipated this, and sneered, "Young Master Huo, you are the Crown Prince of the Imperial City. If you don't give the word, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the Imperial City. If I can't establish myself, your family won't have a smooth life either. Besides, it seems that your three children prefer me a little more..."

Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger and said, "I can agree to that."

"Really?" Li Yancheng was clearly surprised.

Huo Nanxiao warned, "But you must tell the truth. If I find out you're lying to me, I'll kill your whole family."

This warning made Li Yancheng feel uneasy, but he knew that Huo Nanxiao, that madman, was fully capable of doing such a thing. He was calculating in his mind, but his face remained calm and composed as he said, "Okay, I can guarantee that I won't lie to you. Xia Ningxi was indeed by Xia Wanwan's side on the day of her accident."

Huo Nanxiao's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition crept into his heart.

Li Yancheng continued, "I knew all along that Xia Ningxi liked you, and I also knew that you originally planned to marry Xia Wanwan, so before your accident, I specifically told Xia Ningxi about your plan to marry Xia Wanwan..."

She...actually went into the water once and saved someone, but in the end, she didn't pull Xia Wanwan out of the water when she asked for help; she even let go. I think it was something I said to her that upset her, which is why she didn't help Xia Wanwan and even pushed her into the water.

Bang--

A fist landed on Li Yancheng's face.

Li Yancheng was furious. "Huo Nanxiao, are you fucking crazy?"

"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll make sure you can't speak." Huo Nanxiao's fists bulged with veins, his anger burning.

Li Yancheng said, "I'm just telling the whole truth, believe it or not."
