Qi Yuexi screamed at Huo Nan, and after he led his men out of the house, Qi Yuexi struggled more and more fiercely.
Despite the difficulty of holding him, Yu Hao didn't dare to let go.
They only released the person after the guards reported that the person had driven away.
As soon as Yu Hao let go, Qi Yuexi slapped her hard across the face. "Yu Hao, are you crazy? Why did you let him leave? Yu Yao hasn't come back yet?"
Everyone in the room was so shocked by Qi Yuexi's actions that their mouths dropped open.
Yu Hao was furious and slapped Qi Yuexi to the ground. "Are you crazy? You don't even know who sent you the message, yet you dare to demand someone from the Huo family. If it's just someone playing a malicious joke, how are you going to handle it?"
Qi Yuexi calmed down and argued softly, "Isn't the photo of Yu Yao fainting at the garbage dump proof enough?"
"Prove what a load of crap."
This only proves that she was at the garbage dump.
Qi Yuexi got up. "I'll go to the school to find her."
Yu Hao was also worried about Yu Yao's safety, and upon hearing this, he waved to Aunt Li.
Seeing this, Aunt Li quickly chased after them.

"Cousin?"
Huo Nan was somewhat surprised, "They came to you to plead for them?"
"yes."
After receiving Huo Nan's call in the car, Lao Liu had a bad feeling and called his father and grandmother.
The two arrived shortly after Huo Nan left.
Huo Si'an did not meet with them, but had someone relay to the two that Lao Liu had embezzled 50% of the profits.
After hearing this, they knelt on the ground and begged Huo Si'an for mercy while crying.
Unfortunately, he was still dismissed from his post.
They were told that out of consideration for their kinship, they would not hold a grudge against the two, but they did not need to come over again.
After learning that Master Huo had sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the money, the two knelt for a while longer before being driven away by Master Huo's men.
"Damn it," Huo Nan cursed, "I'll deal with them later."
"Whatever you say. Now focus all your efforts on investigating Jian Yu's whereabouts."
"yes."
The conversation on the other end came to a close, but Jian Yu's fingers were still busy on the keyboard.
Huo Tingzhen leaned closer curiously, "What are you doing..."
The rest of the words disappeared automatically from my mouth.
She was shocked.
Jian Yu actually accessed the IP address and even placed an order.
The receiving account is called Li Ji Barbecue.
Because it was an express order, I paid a tip in addition to the balance.
The owner happily accepted the meat, instructing his staff to skewer it while saying into the phone, "Don't worry! I guarantee it will be delivered to you within an hour. Our barbecue is very famous."
Jian Yu didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly.
"You ordered barbecue? Will it be delivered later?" Huo Tingzhen was dumbfounded. Wasn't this blatantly telling Huo Si'an that they were here?
Jian Yu tapped the screen to show her.
Huo Tingzhen looked closely and saw that the IP address showed the location as the gate of a welfare home 200 kilometers away.
Huo Tingzhen, “…”
At this moment, Huo Nan also received a call from his subordinate with long curly hair.
Huo Nan guessed there was a new clue, raised an eyebrow, and quickly answered the call, "Hmm?"
"Third Brother, we've found Jian Yu's whereabouts. He's at a barbecue restaurant 200 kilometers away."
Huo Nan reached out and patted the back of the driver's seat, and the driver immediately turned around and headed towards the destination.
The IP address disappeared after half an hour.
Huo Nan couldn't help but curse, "So cunning."
As dawn approached, Huo Nan and his group arrived at the orphanage.
The security guards at the welfare home told them that someone had ordered a large amount of barbecue for the children that night.
But no one showed up.
The group then went to Li Ji Barbecue, but the shop was already closed when they arrived.
The boss even turned off his phone.
Using the phone number on the shop owner's signboard, the long-haired man found his location. To avoid attracting attention, Huo Nan only sent three people up.
The boss was a typical ordinary citizen who had never experienced darkness. When threatened, he immediately revealed everything he knew.
“The girl placed the order, and I took it. Because she ordered too much, I baked it all and delivered it over an hour later. The girl had other things to do, so she didn’t wait for me at the orphanage. Anyway, I delivered it to her.”
Huo Nan's face was grim. He ordered his men to bring the boss out and said, "Make him find the security camera footage at the shop entrance."
Upon hearing this, the boss waved his hand dismissively, "No need to look anymore, you won't find it."
"Why?" Huo Nan's voice on the phone was like ice shards, making the boss shiver.
"Because our whole street lost power last night."
"How long has it been stopped?" Huo Nan asked through gritted teeth.
"Less than two hours," the owner said cautiously. "There was a fire caused by an old power line on the street. It took more than an hour to repair. All the customers had left, and I was about to close up shop when I received a call. The girl said it was too dark on the street, so she wouldn't come over and asked me to grill the food and deliver it to her."
Huonan and his party, "..."
Huo Tingzhen gave Jian Yu a thumbs up, "How did you know they had a power outage there?"
"Watch the news!"
Jianyu saw a news report that suddenly popped up: "Power outage suddenly occurred in a certain street in a certain city. Power is expected to be restored within two hours."
Only then would I dare to do this.
Naturally, everyone assumed she was really there.
Huo Nan left a group of people to continue searching for Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen's whereabouts, while he returned to City A to find Liu Shan's family, who had caused him to return empty-handed from the Yu family.
She grabbed Grandma Liu Shan, who was lying on the bed, and asked, "Hello, Auntie! Where's my cousin?"
Grandma Liu's eyes darted around, but Huo Nan didn't bother to look at her cunning expression. "Someone just reported that the safe deposit box that Lao Liu kept at the Seventh Bank was opened and the contents were taken."
Grandma Liu's eyes froze instantly, and upon closer inspection, her body was trembling slightly.
"It's okay, my dad has already sent people to retrieve the items from the other bank safe deposit boxes. I'm puzzled as to why my cousin didn't retrieve the safe deposit boxes from so many big banks, but instead went to retrieve the safe deposit box from a small bank first?"
Grandma Liu broke out in a cold sweat, but she kept her head down and remained silent.
"When my aunt got married, the Liu family was very wealthy, but unfortunately, it was all squandered by my cousin. Even this house of yours, if it weren't for the Huo family's intervention, would have been lost! Out of consideration for growing up together, my dad let my cousin help out at the company, but he was exposed for embezzling huge kickbacks and had to be kicked out of the Huo family. At that time, you shamelessly begged my dad to take in Liu Shan, and even guaranteed that your family would never do such a thing again. My dad gave your family another chance, but I didn't expect that Liu Shan would be even worse. Over the years, he has pocketed half of the entire Southeast Asia's revenue. And what was found in the bank safe deposit box was only one-tenth of that money. Can you tell me where the rest went?"
Grandma Liu's back was soaked with sweat, and her face was frighteningly pale. After a long silence, she only managed to utter four words.
"I have no idea."
"have no idea?"
Huo Nan gave her a cold look, then turned and sat down on the sofa. "Do it!"
"I..." Grandma Liu Shan looked up in a panic, "Ahhh!"
One man in black pinned her hand to the sandalwood table with a dagger, while another grabbed her hair and pointed a dagger at one of her eyes...
"Cousin?"
Grandma Liu Shan's mouth trembled as she said, "I...I...don't know."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes had already been blinded.
"Ahhhhh"
The screams grew increasingly shrill.
Huo Nan whistled merrily, "I'll ask you one more time. If you don't answer, you can forget about having your other eye."
The subordinate immediately pulled out the dagger, which had penetrated quite deeply; when it was pulled out, even the eyeball came out with it.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh"
With only one eye remaining, staring at the knife's tip so close to her, Grandma Liu finally broke down, "I know where it is."
