Chapter 240: Killed with One Strike
When the thugs saw Huo Qinghuang, they were stunned at first, but then they reacted and pulled out daggers from their waists, surrounding Huo Qinghuang in a fan shape.
"Who are you? You dare to meddle in our affairs? You are tired of living! Go ahead, tie up this woman, rape her first and then kill her!"
A gangster with a scar on his face said viciously.
Huo Qinghuang had a cold expression on his face. In a flash, he came in front of the scarred thug. He raised his leg and kicked him, sending him flying several meters away. He hit the wall heavily, making a dull sound.
The other thugs were startled and turned to look at Huo Qinghuang.
She was seen standing in the dim light, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she exuded a heart-pounding aura.
"You... who are you?"
One of the thugs asked stutteringly, obviously intimidated by Huo Qinghuang's aura.
Huo Qinghuang did not answer, but just looked at them coldly and slowly raised his hand.
The next moment, the thugs felt an invisible force binding them tightly and unable to move.
"You, who are you?"
Several people shouted in horror, their eyes full of fear.
Huo Qinghuang ignored them and walked straight to Huo Jiayue. With a slight wave of her hand, the ropes and tapes that bound her broke instantly.
As soon as Huo Jiayue was free, she threw herself into Huo Qinghuang's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, sister, you, you are finally here! Woo woo, I'm so scared..."
Huo Qinghuang patted her back gently, her tone softening a little: "It's okay, I'm here."
She raised her head, her eyes becoming even colder: "Tell me, who ordered you to kidnap her?"
The thugs looked at each other, obviously not daring to speak easily.
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly and flicked his finger lightly. One of them immediately screamed as if he was in great pain.
"I say! I say!"
The man finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Yes...it was the young master of the Zhang family who asked us to do this! He said that as long as we kidnap the second young lady of the Huo family, he will give us a large sum of money!"
"Zhang family?"
Huo Qinghuang frowned and looked down at Huo Jiayue.
She had never heard of this Zhang family. Where did they come from?
Huo Jiayue raised her head, her eyes full of confusion: "Why did the Zhang family kidnap me? Hasn't our family had no contact with the Zhang family?"
Huo Qinghuang sneered: "It seems that the Zhang family is just a small fry, and there may be someone else behind them."
She looked at the thugs with an indifferent expression, and the spiritual power around her instantly exploded, turning into several sharp blades that instantly pierced through the bodies of those thugs.
The thugs fell to the ground without even having time to scream, dead.
Huo Qinghuang glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
Huo Jiayue stared at the scene with eyes wide open, horror and fear, her body shaking like a sieve, obviously she was terrified.
"It's just a dead person, there's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go back."
Huo Qinghuang frowned, took Huo Jiayue's hand without saying anything, turned around and left the unfinished building.
When they got home, Aunt Liu was already waiting anxiously at the door. When she saw Huo Jiayue return safely, she was immediately relieved and hurried forward to hold her hand.
"Second Miss, you scared me to death! What's going on?"
Huo Jiayuemu shook his head blankly, obviously still in shock: "I don't know either. I wanted to go home after school, but I was suddenly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in that unfinished building..."
Huo Qinghuang said calmly: "I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry."
Aunt Liu nodded. Although she was still confused, she did not dare to ask more questions when she saw Huo Qinghuang's stern expression. She could only take Huo Jiayue to rest and prepare some calming soup for her.
Huo Qinghuang stood in the living room, looking through the window into the night in the distance, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"Zhang family? It seems that some people won't cry until they see the coffin."
She whispered to herself and then turned back to her room.
This night is destined not to be peaceful.
…
At the Huo family's house, Mrs. Huo was standing in the living room, walking back and forth, holding her cell phone tightly in both hands, and occasionally looking down at it.
"No news yet on Jiayue?"
Her eyes were red and her voice was filled with anxiety as she looked at Huo Yuheng, who was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
Huo Yuheng frowned, his face gloomy: "I have sent people to check, but there is no news so far. There is no movement from Qinghuang for the time being, I don't know what the situation is."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo burst into tears: "What if something happens to Jiayue? She is so young, how could she encounter such a thing..."
Huo Yuheng sighed, stood up, walked to Mrs. Huo, and patted her shoulder gently.
"Don't worry too much. Jiayue is a smart kid and will be fine. Didn't Qinghuang go find her? With her around, Jiayue will be fine."
Mrs. Huo shook her head, her voice choking with sobs: "But Qinghuang is just a child after all. If she goes alone, what if she encounters danger? Since those people dared to kidnap Jiayue, they must not be good people..."
Huo Yuheng was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Perhaps only in Jingwan's eyes, Qinghuang is the one who needs to be protected.
In fact, his daughter's strength is unfathomable. Even Director Long is impressed by her and has expressed envy and jealousy in front of him many times.
Therefore, even though Huo Yuheng sent people out to look for her, he actually placed most of his hopes on Huo Qinghuang.
Just when the two were extremely anxious, there was a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly heard outside the door.
Mrs. Huo raised her head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "Is Jiayue back?"
Before he finished speaking, Butler Wang pushed the door open and walked in.
"how?"
Huo Yuheng asked with a serious face, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Master, the second young lady has been rescued. It was the eldest young lady who took action. Our people arrived too late and only had time to deal with the aftermath."
Butler Wang reported in a low voice, and a trace of bright red blood was faintly visible on the white gloves hanging on both sides of his thighs.
Huo Yuheng did not miss this scene, and his heart sank.
"Are the two children injured?"
"No."
Butler Wang answered honestly.
"What happened? Where's Qing Huang? Is she injured?"
When Mrs. Huo heard Butler Wang say that it was Huo Qinghuang who rescued Huo Jiayue, she could no longer sit still and asked hurriedly.
"To answer Madam, both young ladies are safe and sound. According to the eldest young lady, the criminals confessed that it was the young master of the Zhang family who paid a large price to let them kidnap the second young lady."
Butler Wang briefly explained what happened, but he did not mention the bloodiest scene.
The deaths of the gangsters were not actually tragic. They were all killed with one knife. They just shed a lot of blood, and the scene almost turned into a river of blood.
But it was precisely because of this that Butler Wang felt a chill.
