Chapter 545: If You Want to Die, Die Yourself! (2)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this point, Huo Xinhong limped and dragged Huo Shengyuan up from the ground, then threw him into the living room on the first floor.
Huo Shengyuan’s entire body crashed into the stone statue on the stairs. A mouthful of blood instantly stained the carpet under him.
“Don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid. You couldn’t defeat Huo Jiuxiao even after ten years. This was still determined by genes. The heavens especially favored people like Huo Jiuxiao! You did lose badly, Huo Shengyuan!”
Huo Shengyuan was already injured. Now that Huo Xinhong had beaten him up, he felt that he could not hear anything. It was as if the whole world had gone silent.
“I don’t know how far that lunatic Huo Jiuxiao wants me to go. I have to confirm it.”
Just as Huo Xinhong took out his phone to contact Huo Jiuxiao, Huo Xinhong slowly took out another lighter from his pocket. Before Huo Xinhong could react, he lit it up and threw it on the ground.
The fire instantly erupted, enveloping the two of them in flames.
“If we die, we die together!” With that, Huo Shengyuan, who was already on fire, lunged at Huo Xinhong, but he was kicked away by Huo Xinhong.
“If you want to die, die yourself!” Then, he anxiously began to look for the exit, but the entire Huo family was sealed off because Huo Shengyuan did not leave any room for himself.
Huo Xinghong immediately retreated upstairs, and all he could hear was Huo Shengyuan’s screams. Thinking that he could escape from Huo Jiuxiao’s room, he immediately rushed in, opened the window, and jumped downstairs. He didn’t know that Huo Shengyuan had nailed him under the snow, so the moment he landed, he became a human hedgehog.
At first, in Huo Jiuxiao’s room, he had heard the commotion downstairs, but he was a fugitive after all. He did not dare to look down. He had indeed underestimated Huo Shengyuan’s viciousness.
But even so, he did not die.
It was because his vitals weren’t injured.
As for Huo Shengyuan? He didn’t die because Huo Jiuxiao called the police and put out the fire in time. Huo Shengyuan was only severely burned, but he was still breathing. His entire body was almost burnt, but he was still hanging on in pain. This was the most ruthless revenge in the world. Death was the best way to free themselves. Huo Jiuxiao would never allow these two to be free.
It was already dawn in Jinzhou, and the thick smoke had already dispersed. Huo Jiuxiao stood alone in the snow, his eyes only focused on the ruins.
The police arrived soon after and brought him back to the police station for questioning. There had been too many scandals in the Huo family over the past two days. Could it be that even this young master had to be arrested?
Among the people handling the case, there were people from the Mu family. When they saw Huo Jiuxiao sitting in the interrogation room, their hearts were filled with joy. However, before he could start the interrogation, the captain brought the butler and the surveillance camera.
The housekeeper had installed a surveillance camera on the banyan tree opposite the Huo family’s house. The phone would store three days’ worth of surveillance footage of the Huo family’s main entrance. Therefore, she had taken a picture of Huo Shengyuan’s premeditated arson. As for why Howard had appeared at the Huo family, he could only ask the person involved. In other words, the arson incident last night was caused by Justin himself.
It was fine if he was dead, but he did not die. Now that his entire body was covered in burns, he would probably have to lie in this hospital bed for the rest of his life. Even if he recovered enough to move, he would still be punished by the law.
As for Simon, he had just been rescued and had passed the critical period. Even if the police wanted to ask anything, they would have to wait until Simon recovered. Furthermore, he was a fugitive to begin with.
“Young Master, the procedures have been completed. You can leave now.” The butler said to Huo Jiuxiao, who was sitting in the lounge on the eve of dawn.
Huo Jiuxiao stood up from his chair at the police station.
At this moment, several policemen were discussing.
“He seems to have been frightened. He’s lucky. Otherwise, he would’ve turned into ashes.”
“Huo Shengyuan is so vicious. There are steel nails buried around the Huo family. If he didn’t have something to do. The consequences are unimaginable. This wealthy family is too terrifying.”
Only the police officer who was related to the Mu family snorted coldly. The most sinister and vicious person in the entire Huo family was here, and his colleagues thought that he was innocent. However, compared to Huo Jiuxiao, that trash Huo Chengyuan deserved it.
“Eldest Young Master, where are we going now?” The butler asked Huo Jiuxiao before he drove off.
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t say anything. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said to the butler, “Let’s go to Deer Pavilion.”
The number of bodyguards that appeared last night was not right, and two of them were missing.
The butler seemed to have realized something. He immediately opened the car door and let Huo Jiuxiao in. On the other side, Lin Wanli and Huo Yu’an heard about the fire at the Huo family home after daybreak. Lin Wanli was worried about Huo Jiuxiao and immediately took out her phone to contact him. Coincidentally, Huo Jiuxiao was also contacting her.
This time, Huo Jiuxiao made the call directly. He didn’t need to hear it. He only needed to tell Lin Wanli, “Stay in Deer Pavilion. Don’t go anywhere.”
Lin Wanli knew that he was safe. She felt relieved and replied, “Okay.”
Lin Wanli and Huo Yu’an gave up on the idea of leaving the Xu family.
Forty minutes later, the butler drove the car to the Xu family’s house and stopped at the entrance of the Xu family’s house according to Huo Jiuxiao’s instructions. Huo Jiuxiao didn’t get out of the car, nor did he plan to enter. He just sat in the car until he seemed to have confirmed something. Then, he pushed the door open and got out of the car. He quickly locked onto the bodyguard’s position. He was hiding on the slope behind the Xu family’s house.
He quickly got in, as if he had installed a GPS. No matter where the bodyguard hid, he would always be the first to find him. In the end, the bodyguard was blocked by him at the iron railing.
This person had never seen Huo Jiuxiao’s terror, so he could only lean against the iron door, his body weak.
“Spare… Spare me…”
