The second branch of the family was in a deadlock with Huo Ci.

Zhang Yuechan’s entire family was certain that Huo Ci was the mastermind behind Huo Xu and Huo Lin’s kidnapping. They claimed that someone had seen him do it and forced him to hand the children over.

Huo Ci said, “All of you are slandering me, but I don’t know anything. Don’t blindly slander others. You say that I did it, but you have no evidence. Show me the evidence first!”

“Where’s the Second Brother? Ask him out. With such a major incident happening at home, it’s good that he’s hiding.” Huo Xiao was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Look at what had happened, their family was in such a mess. If word got out, people would laugh at them.

“Brother Zhen is in the hospital.” Zhang Yuechan cried and started to act pitiful. She wiped her tears and looked at Huo Xiao. “Dad, you must help us with this matter. Brother Zhen’s health is not good. He heard that Xu’er and the rest were kidnapped and had a heart attack, so he was hospitalized.”

The two daughters-in-law of the second branch of the family received their mother-in-law’s instructions and knelt down in front of the old master.

Huo Xuanze’s wife, Liu Lan, cried her heart out. “Grandpa, you must help me save my Lin’er.”

Huo Xuancong’s wife, Su Wu, wiped her tears as well. As she sobbed, she said, “Grandpa, if anything happens to Xu’er, I won’t live anymore.”

When Ling Sheng saw this, she still had no idea what was going on. Were Huo Xu and Huo Lin really kidnapped by her father? Although her father’s character was not good, there’s no grudges that should lead him to harming the two children.

Xiaoqi did not know what had happened, he was stunned by the group of people who were fighting and making a fuss. He looked at Huo Ci with his big eyes. His grandfather had been beaten up by his great-grandfather, it must have been very painful!

“You all said that the Sixth Brother did it, but he said that he didn’t do it. What do you want me to do? Show me the evidence.” Huo Xiao’s tone became gentler when he spoke to his granddaughter-in-law. “If you have evidence to prove that the Sixth Brother did it, I will give you an explanation. If you accuse the Sixth Brother without any evidence, don’t blame me for punishing you.”

Ling Sheng, who was standing behind her grandmother, did not say a word. She only frowned slightly. What evidence did they have to insist that her father was behind the kidnapping? Why did they look so bitter and vengeful?

Did the second branch of the family have any evidence? No. If they did, they would not have caused a ruckus at home. They just wanted to force Huo Ci to admit that he was the culprit. There was a witness who said that the person who took the child looked like Huo Ci.

Zhang Yuechan glared hatefully at Xiaoqi, who was beside Ling Sheng. It was all that little bastard’s fault. Why wasn’t he dead? Why was his life so important? He had already been brought to the sea and was about to leave China to reach the open sea, but Huo Ci managed to save him.

She was the only one who knew that her husband had dealt with that little bastard. Even her sons did not know about it. Her husband had always been meticulous in his work, so how did Huo Ci know that it was her husband who had done it? In order to take revenge on them, he had done this to Xu’er and Lin’er.

Sixth Brother, that bastard. Where did he bring her precious grandchildren? What did he want to do to them? The more she thought about it, the more flustered and afraid she became. However, she didn’t have any evidence, she only hoped that her husband’s people would speed up their search and rescue her grandchildren.

“Second sister-in-law, even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to throw such a huge accusation at me!” Huo Ci sneered nonchalantly. “You have a big family, are you bullying mine because our family is small?”

Zhang Yuechan and her family were all maligning others without any evidence. When they heard Huo Ci’s words, they were furious.

“Sixth Brother, what are you saying? Aren’t we all family?” Zhang Yuechan and her family had accused others without any evidence, so when they heard Huo Ci’s words, they were furious. What could they do? What had happened had already happened, and she knew that she was in the wrong. She did not dare to argue anymore, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow her words.

Right now, she only hoped that her husband would quickly find evidence of Huo Ci, that bastard, taking her grandchildren away. They could not do anything to him without it. As long as they had evidence, the Old Master would be able to deal with him.

“When my second sister-in-law accused me of being a criminal, she probably forgot that we’re family.” Huo Ci smiled mockingly.

“Sixth Brother, I was too anxious. I heard that the person who took Xu’er and the rest looked like you. That’s why I came back to ask you.” Zhang Yuechan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she tried her best to maintain her composure and looked at her son and daughter-in-law. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find them!”

“Second sister-in-law, are you planning to leave just like that after you’ve wronged me?” Huo Ci shook his legs, acting nonchalant. “According to the rules of the Huo family, shouldn’t you apologize for doing something wrong?”

Now you know how to be anxious and afraid? Sorry, it’s too late!

Zhang Yuechan stopped in her tracks and turned around. She tried her best to suppress the burning rage within her as she gritted her teeth and said, “Sixth Brother, I was too impulsive earlier. I apologize to you here.”

Huo Ci smiled and nodded, accepting her apology. He looked at the others. “What about you guys? You have no respect for your elders and are challenging your elders’ authority. Aren’t you going to say something?”

Huo Xuanze’s eyes were filled with hatred. He calmed himself down and said obediently, “Sixth Uncle, I’m sorry.”

Huo Xuancong had already been beaten to death by Huo Ci. Every part of his body hurt, especially his chest, which felt like it was about to explode. Upon hearing his words, he had no choice but to compromise. He could not show any dissatisfaction either. He said respectfully, “Sixth Uncle, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

The two daughters-in-law of the second branch of the family also apologized.

Only then was Huo Ci satisfied. Seeing that his family was about to leave after their fight, he shouted loudly. There was a provocative look in his eyes, along with pride and arrogance. “Second sister-in-law, if you need my help, feel free to let me know.”

Zhang Yuechan was so angry that she stumbled and almost spat out blood. There was a salty taste in her throat as she said, “I appreciate Sixth Brother’s kind intentions.”

He wanted to help? He was probably trying to get in our way. Their family didn’t need his help. He was the real culprit who had kidnapped his grandson, and now he was acting like a good person.

“Wait a minute. I’ll get someone to look for her with you.” Huo Xiao could not ignore it. The children that were missing were also his great-grandchildren. It was wrong for the Second Brother to come home and cause trouble, but he still had to look for the children!

“Thank you, Dad.” Zhang Yuechan pretended to be grateful.

Huo Xiao made a few phone calls and asked people to spread out and find the person. They had to find the children as soon as possible.

Zhang Yuechan left with her sons and daughters-in-law.
