Chapter 240: Stroking the Tiger's Whiskers
Chi Muzhen unconsciously grabbed Huo Yunting's shirt on his chest, and the distance between them gradually closed.
Just as their lips were about to touch, the phone suddenly rang.
Chi Muzhen was startled and quickly jumped off Huo Yunting, her face flushed as she said, "Your phone is ringing. I...I'll go up first."
After saying that, she turned around and left in a hurry, as if something was chasing her from behind.
Huo Yunting frowned unconsciously. Ever since he and Chi Muzhen got back together, there hadn't been any of the intimate actions they had before.
He had thought that the relationship between the two would improve tonight, but it was ruined by a phone call, so he was in a bad mood at the moment!
Seeing that it was a call from the Huo family's old house, he frowned and answered the call. He didn't know what was said on the other end, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting sent a message to Chi Muzhen and then left the villa.
In the bedroom, Chi Muzhen's face flushed red. She went to the bathroom to wash her face before she calmed down.
If it weren't for that phone call, she and Huo Yunting would have been kissing now.
Thinking of that scene, my face, which had finally cooled down, seemed to be getting warmer again.
She quickly shook her head to get rid of the beautiful images in her mind, took her nightgown and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, when she came out of the shower and finished drying her hair and getting ready for bed, she saw the message from Huo Yunting and immediately called him.
The line rang for a long time before it was connected. Huo Yunting's voice seemed even deeper than usual. "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
"Where are you now?"
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting whispered, "The Huo family's old house."
"Did something happen?"
Under normal circumstances, Huo Jinsong and Cheng Shumin would not have asked Huo Yunting to go back at this time.
There was another silence, until Chi Muzhen's patience was almost exhausted, Huo Yunting finally spoke: "Well, my mother is missing."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen quickly changed her clothes and drove to the Huo family's old house.
In the living room, Huo Jinsong and Huo Yunting sat opposite each other, both with ugly expressions on their faces.
Chi Muzhen walked over to Huo Yunting and sat down. "What happened? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Huo Yunting looked at Huo Jinsong coldly without saying anything.
The housekeeper beside him said quickly, "The master and his wife had a quarrel this afternoon. His wife said she was going out to play cards, but she didn't come back until dinner time. I called her and found out that she didn't go out to play cards at all. I don't know where she went, and her phone is turned off."
Huo Jinsong frowned and said coldly, "It's normal for couples to quarrel. She might just want to be alone and quiet and doesn't want others to disturb her. You should go back first!"
Although Chi Muzhen knew that Huo Jinsong and Cheng Shumin had a bad relationship, he didn't expect it to be so bad. His wife had been missing for most of the day, but he was not nervous at all.
"Have you sent anyone to look for it?"
Huo Yunting nodded grimly, "Yes, but there is no news yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
"Master, we found Madam's cell phone in an abandoned factory in the suburbs. It was broken. We didn't see Madam or her car."
"Keep looking!"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting's face became even colder.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Damai, asking him to check Cheng Shumin's call records.
Soon, Barley's message came.
Seeing that Cheng Shumin had been in intermittent contact with an unfamiliar phone number since 2:30 in the afternoon, Chi Muzhen immediately asked Damai to check the owner of this number.
Five minutes later, when Chi Muzhen saw the name sent by Damai, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The number Cheng Shumin contacted was actually Huo Tianyi's!
"Yun Ting, go check where Huo Tianyi is now!"
Seeing her serious expression, Huo Yunting immediately called his men and then said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is my mother's disappearance related to Huo Tianyi?"
Chi Muzhen nodded. "Since 2:30 this afternoon, Huo Tianyi has called her several times. I guess it was Huo Tianyi who asked her to go to the abandoned factory. Now she might have been kidnapped by Huo Tianyi."
Neither of them noticed that Huo Jinsong's face opposite him suddenly became extremely ugly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunting exuded a coldness and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
"If anything happens to my mother, I will never let him go!"
After receiving the location information of Huo Tianyi from their subordinates, Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen immediately set out to find Huo Tianyi.
At this moment, Chengdu Cemetery.
Huo Tianyi stood in front of the tombstones of Huo Zheng and Zhan Yue, burning paper as he said, "Dad, Mom, the murderers who killed you will soon come down to accompany you. After Cheng Shumin dies, I will quickly send that beast Huo Jinsong down to the underworld and let them atone for your sins!"
As he spoke, Huo Tianyi raised the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.
Gradually, his laughter became louder and louder, and his laughter seemed particularly terrifying in the empty and cold cemetery.
Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting rushed to the gate of the cemetery and met Huo Tianyi who was leaving.
Huo Yunting quickly stepped forward, grabbed Huo Tianyi's collar, and punched him directly, his eyes full of cruelty.
Huo Tianyi fell to the ground, but with a smile on his face, he said sarcastically: "Huo Yunting, even if you kill me, I will not tell you where Cheng Shumin is!"
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his voice was extremely cold. "I think you are looking for death!"
Seeing that he was about to step forward, Chi Muzhen immediately held him back, "Yun Ting, calm down. Have you forgotten what you promised me on the way here?"
Huo Yunting took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you three minutes."
Chi Muzhen let go of him and turned to look at Huo Tianyi. "Your parents' death has nothing to do with Yun Ting's parents. Even if you kill them, you will only be responsible for two lives."
Hearing this, Huo Tianyi's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he looked at Chi Muzhen angrily, "Shut up! If it weren't for Cheng Shumin and Huo Jinsong, my parents would definitely still be alive now, and I wouldn't have to snatch the Huo family from Huo Yunting, but would inherit it openly!"
Huo Yunting looked at him coldly, "Your father has no business ability at all. If the Huo Group had continued to be in his hands, it would have gone bankrupt within two years."
"Shut up!"
Huo Tianyi's face was filled with hatred. "Your parents killed my parents, and I want them to pay the price. Wait for Cheng Shumin's body to be collected. I found a very good place for her. If nothing unexpected happens, she should have gone to the underworld to atone for her sins for my parents."
Huo Yunting's expression suddenly darkened upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, Chi Muzhen beside him suddenly spoke up: "The good place you're talking about should be a place that means a lot to you or your parents. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the place where your parents had the car accident, right?"
Huo Tianyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was about to refute when Chi Muzhen immediately said, "Let the Huo family go to the scene of the car accident where Huo Tianyi's parents were!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tianyi burst into laughter.
"It's no use going now, Huo Yunting. You'll soon feel the same way I did!"
