Chapter 1022: You Can Call Me Dad

Huo Chuan was captured and interrogated overnight.

Given the surveillance video evidence.

Even if Huo Chuan said nothing, it was useless because the evidence was conclusive.

In the end, he will be prosecuted for multiple crimes including illegal possession of firearms, intentional assault, illegal detention, kidnapping, and defamation.

A long prison term awaits him.

This situation exposed the disadvantages of Huo Shen being trapped in the wilderness.

Outside the wilderness, he was nothing.

Not to mention how far away Jiangzhou was, he was powerless to save his son.

Of course, Huo Shen didn’t yet know about his son’s capture.

Let’s go back to the present.

Since Huo Shen was captured, Huo Ying’s daughter naturally should be rescued.

Saving the niece-in-name was something Xu Shaochen had to do personally.

Originally, Huo Ying insisted on going as well, but after Xu Shaochen’s persuasion, she agreed to stay home and cook a meal for her daughter’s return.

Huo Ying’s daughter took her surname, named Huo Xiao.

She was held in a suburban house by Huo Chuan.

Xu Shaochen sighed, wondering why those with the same surname would make things difficult for each other. Guarding Huo Xiao, a young girl just eighteen, didn’t require many people, just three.

The police easily subdued them.

“Xiaoxiao, right? I’m here to take you home.”

Xu Shaochen gave Huo Xiao a friendly smile, after all, he had a relationship with her mom.

He greeted her while sizing her up.

Huo Xiao was tall, pure looking, just a bit plain.

Of course, as the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window.

Even though Huo Xiao was flat, her legs were exceptionally long and well-shaped, even better than a model’s.

But why did this girl not resemble Huo Ying?

“Who are you?”

After being kidnapped, Huo Xiao looked somewhat tired but otherwise unharmed, indicating Huo Chuan hadn’t troubled her.

“I’m a friend of your mom’s.”

Xu Shaochen smiled, not daring to say he was her mom’s man.

“Oh.”

Huo Xiao responded indifferently, then followed the police out, ignoring Xu Shaochen.

She instantly saw Xu Shaochen wasn’t a good person because his smile was too forced. Such behavior was either malicious or dishonest.

“Damn it!”

Xu Shaochen’s smile froze, muttering a curse under his breath. This wasn’t how he imagined it.

“Damn my mom? If you dare, go ahead! Really, all talk.”

Huo Xiao heard him, turned back, and gave Xu Shaochen a disdainful look.

Xu Shaochen felt awkward but somehow amused inside. Little girl, honestly, I’ve already done it.

Don’t argue with a little girl.

Xu Shaochen silently reminded himself, then apologized: “Sorry, it’s been a busy night. I’m in a bad mood. Your mom’s waiting for you at home. Let’s go.”

“I’m telling you, whatever you’re planning, give it up. Don’t cling to my mom.”

Huo Xiao warned Xu Shaochen; she’d seen many men like him. Her mom was just too beautiful.

Though Xu Shaochen gave her a sense of danger.

Because, being kidnapped, her mom got Xu Shaochen to pick her up. At least it showed their good relationship.

“Xiaoxiao, get in the car.”

Xu Shaochen maintained his smile, little girl, act tough now, but soon you’ll call me Dad.

Seeing Xu Shaochen and the bodyguards surprised Huo Xiao. She thought Xu Shaochen was a freeloader after her mom.

Now, he seemed like a wealthy second-generation heir.

Yet she still didn’t have a good impression of Xu Shaochen, an idle, lustful rich heir wasn’t attractive.

Clearly, he was after her mom’s looks and body.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Huo Ying’s house.

“Mom.”

“Xiaoxiao, I thought I’d never see you again. I was so worried.”

Mother and daughter hugged tightly, crying uncontrollably.

“Alright, everything’s fine now, stop crying, or the neighbors will say we’re disturbing them.”

Xu Shaochen comforted them, mostly because he couldn’t stand women’s crying, let alone two at once.

“Mom, who is he?”

Huo Xiao suddenly remembered Xu Shaochen was present.

“He is…”

Huo Ying felt awkward, unsure how to introduce Xu Shaochen.

“I’m your mom’s boyfriend. If you don’t mind, you can call me Dad.”

Xu Shaochen wrapped an arm around Huo Ying’s slim waist, looking at Huo Xiao with a playful expression.

“What? Mom, is this true?”

Huo Xiao’s face changed, looking at Huo Ying.

Huo Ying lowered her head and whispered, “Yes.”

“This… can’t be! Absolutely not! He’s not much older than me!”

Huo Xiao felt worse than swallowing a dead fly, looking at Xu Shaochen’s smug face, she wanted to slap it.

Didn’t expect this bastard to mean it…

“Xiaoxiao!”

Huo Ying’s face turned stern, showing her mother’s authority.

Huo Xiao quickly retreated, saying, “Mom, don’t be mad, I mean…”

“Sister Ying, she’s still young, don’t hold it against her. She’ll mature in a couple of years.”

Xu Shaochen comforted Huo Ying, pretending not to mind her immaturity, making Huo Xiao grind her teeth.

The damn bastard really wanted to be her dad!

“Xiao Xu, I’ll bring the dishes.” Huo Ying spoke, then told Xiaoxiao: “Xiaoxiao, be polite to Xiao Xu. Without him, you wouldn’t be home now.”

After she went into the kitchen.

“You, you, have you no shame? You’re so much younger than my mom!”

Huo Xiao said to Xu Shaochen.

“Young lady, you don’t understand. Women your mom’s age are the most attractive.”

Xu Shaochen smiled, then thought of something: “Remember to call me Dad, Xiaoxiao be polite.”

“Go to hell…”

Huo Xiao was furious, but Xu Shaochen raised his voice: “Sister Ying, Xiaoxiao said…”

Huo Xiao’s face changed, quickly covering Xu Shaochen’s mouth, shouting to the kitchen, “Mom, nothing, I was joking with… him.”

“Aren’t you ashamed? You’re so old, whining to my mom!” Huo Xiao said through gritted teeth.

Xu Shaochen chuckled: “Call me Dad.”

“Ugh—Dad… Dad.”

Huo Xiao was disgusted with herself.

“Louder, I can’t hear you.” Xu Shaochen acted smug.

“Dad, Dad, Dad, happy now?” Huo Xiao said angrily, stomping on Xu Shaochen’s foot.

“Ah, good girl, Dad will buy you new clothes.”

Xu Shaochen responded contentedly, patting Huo Xiao’s face.

His smug expression almost angered Huo Xiao to death.

A real man, when he says damn it, he means it!
