Chapter 1025: My Good Daughter Was Beaten

In a blink, two days had passed.

Huo Chuan was about to be prosecuted by the procuratorate for multiple charges such as kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, intentional injury, illegal detention, and slander.

Meanwhile, under Xu Shaochen’s influence, the young man in the baseball cap was released.

Following Xu Shaochen’s orders, the young man in the baseball cap met Huo Chuan.

It was then Xu Shaochen learned the young man’s name—Zhang Qiang.

“Boss, you… why do you look like this?”

Zhang Qiang was startled at the sight of Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan’s condition looked worse than it did two days ago when he met Xu Shaochen. He appeared neither human nor ghost.

“How did you get released?”

Huo Chuan looked at Zhang Qiang, eyes slightly squinting, his voice deep and hoarse like metal scraping.

When he was caught, he suspected an insider betrayed him.

Now that Zhang Qiang was released, he naturally had reason to suspect him.

“Boss, it’s all thanks to you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have a way out.”

Zhang Qiang sighed.

“Me?” Huo Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Qiang nodded: “Yes, you tasked me to watch over Huo Ying. I wasn’t involved in anything else, so they had no evidence to prosecute me.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Chuan slightly nodded. The reason seemed plausible enough.

Moreover, he didn’t believe Zhang Qiang betrayed him. He trusted Zhang Qiang; otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned him to watch over Huo Ying.

“You must call, no, personally return to the Wilderness and tell my dad about this so he can save me. Otherwise, it’ll be too late once I’m prosecuted.”

Once his suspicion of Zhang Qiang was dismissed, Huo Chuan became excited, seeing Zhang Qiang as his last hope.

In Jiangzhou, the Xu family was meddling and had blocked the news of his capture. His capture couldn’t be communicated to his father, so no one could rescue him.

“Boss, don’t worry. I bought a ticket before seeing you. Once I finish here, I’ll board the plane back to the Wilderness.”

Zhang Qiang nodded heavily, looking extremely loyal.

“Leave now, leave now.”

Huo Chuan urged impatiently. He couldn’t wait to get out of this hellish place.

“Boss, take care. Once I inform the big boss, he’ll come to save you.”

With those words, Zhang Qiang left reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

After leaving Huo Chuan’s sight, Zhang Qiang changed his demeanor, greeting Xu Shaochen with respect:

“Mr. Xu, it seems he doesn’t suspect me. Besides, I’m his only hope now, so he has to trust me.”

Xu Shaochen nodded: “Go back to the Wilderness, inform Huo Shen, then stay in Daguang and don’t come with Huo Shen to Jiangzhou. Wait for my orders on the rest.”

“Yes, Mr. Xu.”

Zhang Qiang nodded.

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, dismissing him.

Watching Zhang Qiang’s departing figure, a cold glint flashed in Xu Shaochen’s eyes.

Huo Shen, when my two bodyguards were detained in the Wilderness.

You never imagined your son would be detained in Jiangzhou, right? This time, I’ll make sure the Huo family of the Wilderness changes their name completely!

“Boss, Miss Huo should be out of school soon. She doesn’t have classes this afternoon.”

Long Yi approached Xu Shaochen, whispering a reminder.

“Let’s go to the Art Academy.”

As his words fell, Xu Shaochen stepped into the car.

Huo Ying had to go out of town for two days on business and entrusted him to take care of Huo Xiao.

Since Huo Xiao was kidnapped, as her mother, she became very concerned about her daughter’s safety.

Even though she said to take care, there wasn’t much to do, just pick her up from school and perhaps stay the night at Huo Ying’s place.

…………….

At the entrance of Jiangzhou Art Institute.

Huo Xiao was chatting with a girl in a white skirt.

“Xiaoxiao, Senior Li confessed to you but you didn’t accept. Your standards are too high.”

The girl in the white skirt said exaggeratedly, looking at Huo Xiao with envy.

“I’m only a freshman. I don’t want a relationship now, and I heard Senior Li has a girlfriend.”

Huo Xiao replied absent-mindedly, glancing at her watch and silently grumbling about her father being late.

“I don’t get you. If he confessed to me, I’d definitely say yes and go out with him tonight.”

The girl in the white skirt laughed playfully, blushing.

“Ugh, shameless.”

The two joked around until suddenly they stopped.

A group of punks surrounded them, led by a tall woman.

“Is there… something you need?”

Huo Xiao remained calm, having survived a kidnapping. But the girl in white looked pale with fear.

“You little witch, seducing my boyfriend, huh? Today I’ll rip that face of yours apart.”

The tall woman gritted her teeth at Huo Xiao, yelling like a shrew.

“Miss… are you mistaken? I don’t know your boyfriend.”

Huo Xiao looked innocent.

“Nonsense! The whole school knows Li Yan confessed to you!”

The tall girl shouted.

Huo Xiao immediately understood and said: “Miss, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t accept Senior Li’s confession.”

“You vixen dare to lie. Flat as a board and I can’t see what Li Yan sees in you.”

The tall woman glanced disdainfully at Huo Xiao.

“Watch your mouth!”

Huo Xiao’s face turned pale with anger. She hated when people mocked her. Who cares if she’s got a small chest?

“Yelling at me? Teach her a lesson.”

The tall woman said, charging at Huo Xiao, grabbing her hair.

“Ah!”

Huo Xiao screamed in pain, instinctively trying to fight back.

However, the punks swarmed, pushing her and her friend to the ground, then began punching and kicking them.

Huo Xiao and her friend huddled on the ground, crying, too scared to fight back.

“I’ll tell you now, vixen, don’t let me catch you at school again. I’ll beat you every time. Trying to seduce my boyfriend, have you looked in the mirror?”

After a few minutes of beating, the tall woman arrogantly spat words and left with her gang.

Huo Xiao and Bai Ya got up from the ground, crying and in a mess.

Meanwhile, Xu Shaochen’s car stopped before them.

“What happened?”

Seeing Huo Xiao in this state, Xu Shaochen’s face was frighteningly dark.

“Waaaah…”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, Huo Xiao felt an overwhelming sense of grievance and burst into tears, falling into his arms.

Though she was kidnapped earlier, she hadn’t been treated like this. It made her feel wronged.

“Long Yi, pull up the nearby surveillance, find out who did it!”

Xu Shaochen said each word coldly, his gaze freezing.

Long Yi and Long Er knew someone was in for big trouble.
