Chapter 56: Huo Ci, Save Me!
“Are you aware of your mistake?” Huo Ci was wearing a black suit, and his figure was half-hidden in the darkness.
His resentment was unconcealable.
“Uncle.” Huo Xuanzhou panted hard. His face was wan when he looked up. Clenching his fists, he forced out some words. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“You don’t understand?” Huo Ci bent down gracefully and tugged at his collar.
Then, he punched him!
It was so unsightly that his assistant, Zuo Ming, squinted as he watched the unfolding scene.
Tonight, the Sixth Master was indeed angry.
On their way there from the airport, he had given Sister Mei a tongue-lashing on the phone.
Especially when he’d heard about Ling Sheng being bullied by Master Zhou on the cruise, he had rushed over here immediately.
Huo Ci punched and kicked Huo Xuanzhou.
Huo Xuanzhou was already weak from the swim, and his lethargy rendered him defenseless. However, he did not dare retaliate and instead cried out helplessly in pain. “Uncle, I was wrong. I was wrong!”
“What was your mistake?” Huo Ci’s eyes were on fire when he kicked his face. He gritted his teeth and bellowed, “Shoot!”
“I... I...” Huo Xuanzhou wanted to end his life right then and there. He had not offended him recently. “I don’t know!”
“You don’t know?” Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. He was infuriated and he wanted to take it out on somebody.
Mei Xuelin had taken it upon herself to bring that brat to the charity auction banquet.
He would have let it go if this had been organized by someone else, but it happened to be Third Old Jun’s doing, so he would never allow it!
He could not suppress that anger. Everyone knew about his feud with Third Old Jun!
It was thus blatantly obvious that they were out to oppose him and did not care about his position as the boss.
“Uncle, I didn’t badmouth you.” The pain spread through Huo Xuanzhou’s organs so he could only admit defeat. He was not able to speak anymore.
He was only afraid of this uncle in the entire Huo Family. He did not even fear his father or grandfather.
He had suffered endless beatings from a young age, yet he had not even been able to tell his family about it, as he would only have suffered a worse beating as a result.
“You dare badmouth me?” Huo Ci gritted his teeth before he landed another kick on his stomach.
The pain hit Huo Xuanzhou so hard that his eyes rolled backward and he fainted.
Huo Ci frowned and his lips curled up coldly. “Useless thing!”
Seeing that his master had finally simmered a little, Zuo Ming secretly got some men to get Huo Xuanzhou out of his master’s sight so that he would not suffer a further beating.
Master Zhou was his grandfather’s favorite at home and did not even fear his biological father, the eldest member of the Huo Family, Huo Ting. However, he feared the Sixth Uncle.
“Sixth Master, where are we going now?” Zuo Ming asked cautiously.
“Where do you think? Where’s Ling Sheng?” The mention of Ling Sheng angered him again.
That brat only knew how to cause him trouble.
What had he told her? He had warned her to never get involved with Jun Shiyan!
Having a daughter was indeed godd*mn troublesome!
He would break her legs today!
“The speedboat is right ahead.” Zuo Ming didn’t even dare breathe deeply.
Master could become immensely scary when he was angered!
The speedboat reached the shore and Xu Qiang dragged Du Manqing ashore.
Huo Ci gave them a casual look and recognized Du Manqing.
She was an artist working under Mei Xuelin and she had claimed the Best Actress Award that year. He had heard that she had brought that brat here.
He went over and stopped the duo, eyeing Du Manqing before asking, “Where’s Ling Sheng?”
When Du Manqing saw Huo Ci, her eyes reddened but she tried to keep calm. “Ling Sheng is with the Third Master.”
“Damn!”
Huo Ci spat out a vulgarity.
He then turned around, planning to leave.
“Let go of me.” Du Manqing stared resentfully at Xu Qiang, her eyes stern as she gritted her teeth. Making up her mind to go all out to save herself, she cried out, “Huo Ci, save me!”
