Chapter 1018: Accidentally Gained Such a Big Daughter

“What… what are you going to do I… I really don’t know where Zhao Qing is!”

Zhou Xue was pinned to the table unable to move, her face filled with terror.

“Such a pretty face, it’d be a shame to scar it, don’t you think?”

Xu Shaochen casually picked up a pair of scissors, tapping them on Zhou Xue’s smooth cheek.

The blade touched her face.

“Ah! No, Mr. Xu, please don’t, I’ll tell, I’ll tell sob…”

Feeling the chill of the blade Zhou Xue shivered, closed her eyes, and screamed tearing up.

For a woman.

What could be more painful than disfigurement?

Especially for a rather beautiful woman.

“Speak.”

Xu Shaochen removed the scissors.

“I… I really don’t know where he is…” Zhou Xue noticed Xu Shaochen’s expression turning cold and quickly added:

“I’m not lying. Last night, I left the bar… I really don’t know what happened after that, I just made a phone call.”

Zhou Xue recounted the events, crying uncontrollably, scared out of her wits, and wet herself as a foul smell filled the air.

“Wow, Zhao Qing was wholeheartedly in love with you, and not only do you cheat on him, breaking up now poses a life threat to him.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Zhou Xue with a cold smile, his gaze terrifyingly icy.

This woman claimed she just made a phone call.

But because of that call, Zhao Qing’s life and death are uncertain.

“Mr. Xu spare my life Mr. Xu I was wrong I really know I was wrong please for my sister’s sake let me go please…”

Zhou Xue was scared to death and kept begging Xu Shaochen, her makeup smeared from crying.

“I don’t care if you steal or rob or sell yourself; one week, every penny Zhao Qing spent on you must be returned, can you do that?”

Xu Shaochen couldn’t possibly kill her, it’d be too easy.

Zhou Xue froze, she couldn’t even remember how much she spent of Zhao Qing’s money but it had to be a considerable sum.

She relied on men to fund her lifestyle without saving a cent, where could she find the money to repay Zhao Qing?

“What, is there a problem?”

Xu Shaochen glanced at her.

Zhou Xue shivered, shaking her head vigorously: “No, no problem, I’ll definitely pay it back within a week.”

No matter if she could repay it or not, she had to handle the immediate situation first.

“You better pray Zhao Qing is alright, or it won’t be just about repaying money.”

Xu Shaochen coldly left the comment, then walked away with his people.

“Thud!”

Zhou Xue felt drained of strength and collapsed on the floor, gasping heavily, her back drenched in sweat.

Suddenly, she smelled something strange.

Looking down, there was a puddle on the ground, and she instantly felt ashamed, quickly covering her skirt and ran to the bathroom.

“Check the surveillance near the supermarket Zhou Xue mentioned.”

“Also, have someone investigate the area to see if there were any witnesses that night.”

Xu Shaochen ordered Long Yi and the others.

But he didn’t call the police.

Because he felt this group wasn’t targeting Zhao Qing but himself.

The ones who kidnapped Zhao Qing were probably the same ones who threatened Huo Ying.

From the moment he returned from Jiangzhou, he was being watched.

This person was very cautious, and Xu Shaochen couldn’t find any flaws or identify who was behind all this.

To be honest, he was somewhat selfish, and selfish people don’t unconditionally trust others.

Zhao Qing handled too many shady things for him, and he couldn’t risk whether Zhao Qing could withstand interrogation without betraying him.

His position didn’t allow him to take risks, even with the slightest uncertainty, he couldn’t gamble.

He couldn’t afford to bet; a single loss could mean losing everything.

If Zhao Qing couldn’t withstand torture and betrayed him, contacting the police might bring him trouble.

So he had to handle this matter himself.

Of course, he still believed Zhao Qing wouldn’t betray him.

He just didn’t dare gamble on human nature.

After sending Long Yi to investigate near the supermarket, Xu Shaochen went to Huo Ying’s Western Restaurant.

“What brings you here?”

Upon seeing Xu Shaochen, Huo Ying’s worried look vanished, replaced with joy.

After more than a decade without touching a man, she seemed more charming and alluring after rediscovering passion.

“Someone under me was kidnapped, can you help confirm if it was those who threatened you?”

Xu Shaochen asked with a smile, his hands restlessly moving on Huo Ying.

Because Huo Ying told him the baseball cap man was always watching her.

Acting serious would only raise suspicion.

“Hmm~” Huo Ying frowned and groaned, hugging Xu Shaochen and whispered in his ear: “How can I confirm it? They wouldn’t tell me, I’m just a tool to them.”

“You’re so beautiful, the baseball cap young man is full of energy watching you, I can’t believe he’s not interested.”

Xu Shaochen spoke while carrying Huo Ying into the bedroom, undressing her.

“Damn it! Always going to the bedroom at critical times, can’t you do it outside?”

The young man monitoring Huo Ying in the opposite building cursed, throwing down the binoculars.

He thought he’d finally get a chance to admire Huo Ying’s mature body but was disappointed when they went to the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Xu Shaochen and Huo Ying were busy, discussing serious matters.

“Slow down, you’re pulling my hair. You want me to seduce him? What do you think I am, letting you degrade me like this?”

Huo Ying pinched Xu Shaochen, pouting like a little girl, but her body remained honest.

“Just get him drunk and press for information, not actually climb into bed. Our daughter is in their hands, he’d definitely drop his guard with you.”

Xu Shaochen spoke while attending to Huo Ying.

“That’s my daughter.” Huo Ying rolled her eyes.

Xu Shaochen grinned: “We’re this close now, shouldn’t she call me dad? I’ve got such a beautiful woman like you, and a big daughter for free.”

“You can’t expect anything decent out of you.”

Huo Ying playfully glared at him, turning away to close her eyes, tacitly accepting Xu Shaochen’s terrible idea.
