Chapter 629 Who Are You Doing This For?

There is still no conclusion to this matter after investigation.

Even when all the available data is put together, it doesn't provide many clues.

The sea was rough and it was nighttime, so there wasn't much to do. Huo Nanxiao ordered his men to turn back, but not to the Moon Mountain coast. Instead, they headed towards a small path that the Huo family had bought near the capital city, indicating that they didn't intend for Han Musen to obediently return home.

Unable to contact Han Musen for a long time, Han Youling had no choice but to go to Li Yancheng.

"Young Master Li, my brother has gone missing. Please help me find him," Han Youling pleaded.

Li Yancheng remained calm: "What does his disappearance have to do with me? Why are you looking for me?"

"My brother was taken away by Huo Nanxiao. He's investigating what happened back then. My brother has been missing for a whole night. If you can't bring him back, he might confess everything, which won't do you any good. Think it through," Han Youling warned.

Li Yancheng, however, remained unconcerned: "Are you threatening me? Ha, you should go home and let your family investigate, instead of coming to me. Isn't Han Shouli still alive? His own son is missing; if he doesn't put in the effort to find him, do you expect me to do it for him? Are you kidding me?"

"My brother killed Huo Nanxiao because he listened to you. You can't ignore this." Han Youling was very anxious.

Li Yancheng pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "The matter is over. Even if Huo Nanxiao wants to investigate, it's useless. Your brother doesn't know much. As long as he doesn't talk, Huo Nanxiao will at most skin him alive. It's not a big problem."

"Li Yancheng, are you even speaking human language? What do you mean by 'at most, just a skin peeled off'? How can you say this? If my brother hadn't cooperated with you back then, he would never have gotten involved with Huo Nanxiao, let alone spent so many years in prison. And you still have the nerve to laugh at him here?" Han Youling was so angry that she was about to cry.

However, Li Yancheng did not want to get involved in this matter. He knew very well that if he did, Huo Nanxiao would immediately turn his anger towards him.

It won't be easy to get Huo Nanxiao to release Han Musen. Huo Nanxiao will definitely keep Han Musen under his control, and he will definitely get hurt.

Ignoring it is the best approach.

“Huo Nanxiao has a wife and children to take care of, he doesn’t have time to hold your brother for so long. He’ll send him back later,” Li Yancheng said.

But Han Youling wasn't going to just wait foolishly. She said angrily, "You weren't the one who got caught, so you don't care at all, right? Li Yancheng, how can you be so selfish? Doesn't my brother's life matter? Do you know that Xia Ningxi was there too? It's obvious that Xia Ningxi remembered something, which is why Huo Nanxiao confronted my brother."

When Li Yancheng heard Xia Ningxi's name, his expression suddenly darkened. "Xia Ningxi is also by Huo Nanxiao's side?"

“Yes!” Han Youling replied.

Li Yancheng frowned: "How could Huo Nanxiao possibly take Xia Ningxi to interrogate your brother?"

Han Youling said, "Now is not the time to pursue these matters. My brother is currently in Huo Nanxiao's hands, and his life is uncertain. Young Master Li should find a way to rescue my brother. The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be for my brother. Also, Xia Ningxi seems to have remembered what happened back then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought Huo Nanxiao to torture my brother. Li Yancheng, aren't you afraid that Xia Ningxi will shoot you in the chest again?"

Everyone sensed the threat and warning in his words.

Yao Qing angrily rebuked, "How dare you!"

Han Youling completely disregarded Yao Qing and continued speaking to Li Yancheng, "If anything happens to my brother, Young Master Li won't have an easy time either. Our two families are in the same boat now; you can't be unaware of such a simple principle as 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' can you?"

"Heh." Li Yancheng scoffed coldly and said disdainfully, "All you've said is to get me to step in and save Han Musen. I'll only help you this once. If you're stupid enough to get Huo Nanxiao to use this against you again, don't come looking for me. Just dig a hole and bury yourselves."

Han Youling held back her anger and dared not speak.

Li Yancheng stood up arrogantly, walked to the door, glanced at the vast manor, and slowly asked, "Where did the person disappear to?"

Han Youling quickly replied, "I've already sent people to track them off the coast of Yueshan. They've already headed to international waters, but the Han family's tracking technology is limited. We still need the Li family's satellite system to accurately pinpoint their location. So, without Young Master Li's intervention, no one can find my brother."

If there were any other way, Han Youling would never have come to beg Li Yancheng.

It was precisely because the Li family's information technology was top-notch both domestically and internationally, enabling them to accurately pinpoint Han Musen's location, that she shamelessly came here.

Finding Han Musen was a piece of cake for Li Yancheng.

"Young Master Li, he's still near international waters, but it looks like he's planning to come back." Yao Qing quickly located the cruise ship where Huo Nanxiao was.

Li Yancheng said, "Immediately dispatch the Han family's cruise ship."

"Dispatch the Han family's ships?" Han Youling was very surprised.

Li Yancheng sneered: "Do you expect me to go through all the trouble of rescuing him?"

Han Youling was speechless and dared not refute, so she could only obediently do as Li Yancheng said.

Soon the Han family's ship set sail and located Huo Nanxiao's cruise ship near the high seas.

Similarly, Huo Nanxiao also discovered them.

Without any communication, the two sides slowly advanced towards domestic waters.

Xia Ningxi was somewhat surprised after getting a clear look at the cruise ship through her binoculars. "That looks like the Han family's ship."

“That’s right,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi looked worried: "They're probably after Han Musen. Should we release him?"

Huo Nanxiao did not answer Xia Ningxi's question, but took the binoculars from her hand and then sneered: "Li Yancheng."

"Really?" Xia Ningxi was shocked, and her voice rose several decibels.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at her thoughtfully: "Why are you so excited? Are you that eager to see him?"

“Nonsense,” Xia Ningxi denied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's written all over your face."

“I’m just wondering why he’s here,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Whenever Li Yancheng and Huo Nanxiao meet, something bad always happens, so it's normal for Xia Ningxi to be worried.

As for what Huo Nanxiao thought, she couldn't be bothered to ask.

The Han family's cruise ship chased Huo Nanxiao and his group for thirty nautical miles before Huo Nanxiao finally ordered the captain to stop the ship.

Less than ten minutes later, Li Yancheng called, his purpose clear.

"Release Han Musen," Li Yancheng stated his intention.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "By what right do you demand that I release him?"

“He can’t give you what you want, so give up on him,” Li Yancheng replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "Are you planning to take the blame for him?"

"Huo Nanxiao, you already know everything from back then, why continue this futile investigation? Are you planning to clear Xia Ningxi's name or to vindicate Xia Wanwan?" Li Yancheng questioned.
