Chapter 90 - Huo You

Liu Jun’s lips were trembling. Just from his words, the viewers could sense the terror in his heart.

“I was very useless and fainted from the shock, so I don’t know what happened after that… I only know that the neighbor auntie’s family had suffered a huge loss, and the police had also captured those kidnappers. This is an extremely bad incident, but the police now have the situation under control. I hope everyone doesn’t disturb the police who are handling the case and don’t give them too much pressure…”

After that, Liu Jun answered some questions from the netizens and then went offline very quickly.

Although Liu Jun didn’t give a detailed description of the kidnapping incident, some people could always get the information they wanted from his words.

Many people had their attention to this kidnapping incident that took the entire Internet by storm, but Huo You wasn’t one of them.

Huo You didn’t know He Yu’s detailed plan, but she could vaguely guess some things. Moreover, based on Huo You’s understanding of He Yu, she could roughly imagine the cruel methods He Yu would deploy.

He Yu had revealed to Huo You that in order to deal a blow to Si Huan, he was planning to start with Huo Tian and Huo Tian’s family. Back then, Huo You had tacitly approved of He Yu’s plan and was mentally prepared for Ding Rong and Ding Chen to be injured or even die because of this plan.

Although she had made up her mind, she had been with the Ding Family for more than ten years, so she did have feelings for Ding Rong.

Therefore, she hadn’t been paying attention to this matter over the past few days. When she realized that the news of this kidnapping had started to spread on the Internet, out of avoidance, Huo You cut off her connection to the Internet to stop herself from paying attention to the Ding Family’s news.

Therefore, Huo You didn’t pay attention to Liu Jun’s live-stream. She had learned from He Yu that Ding Rong had been kidnapped and the Ding Family had suffered casualties.

Huo You took the phone in her hand and sat on the bed in a daze. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she asked in an uncertain voice, “Did someone really die? Was the person who died Ding Rong or Huo Tian?”

He Yu’s pleasant voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Of course someone died. Why would I lie to you? My men saw an ambulance pulling a corpse covered in a white cloth out of the Ding Family’s small house. As for whether the person who died was Huo Tian or your adoptive mother, Ding Rong, we don’t know.”

The memories of her life in the Ding Family seemed to flash through Huo You’s mind, and Ding Rong’s gentle smile flashed past before her eyes.

The next moment, the smile on her face became strange. Blood seemed to be flowing out of her eyes slowly. Huo You’s heart raced. In her shock, she picked up a pillow and threw it in front of her. The illusion immediately disappeared…

Only then did Huo You realize that it had been her imagination.

He Yu seemed to hear Huo You’s rapid breathing. He sneered and said, “Why? Do you regret it now that you know that the one who died might be your dear adoptive mother?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I won’t regret it.” As if to establish her confidence, Huo You repeated, “I definitely won’t regret it!”

He Yu chuckled softly. “That’s good. I don’t like those business partners who are overly cautious and hesitant.”

Huo You took a few deep breaths and suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart. She said in a low voice, “Can we make a move on Si Huan now?”

“Don’t rush it. If we jump out and make a move on Si Huan now, won’t it prove that we’re linked to this kidnapping incident? Be patient. After the Si Family has internal strife, we’ll take the opportunity to give Si Huan a fatal blow.”

Huo You frowned and asked curiously, “How are you sure the Si Family will be in chaos?”

“Because I expected everything.” He Yu’s voice was filled with smugness. “The kidnapper asked Huo Tian for a ransom of 500 million yuan. Huo Tian could only ask Si Huan for help, and Si Huan didn’t hesitate to help her. According to the information I obtained from the Si Family, Si Huan had taken the liberty to access all the available cash on the accounts. Regardless of whether this money can be returned in the end, the Si Family will no longer trust Si Huan without any reservations. Once trust is broken, it’s very difficult to close…”

Huo You finally understood why He Yu was so certain, but there were still things she couldn’t figure out. “How could you guarantee that the kidnappers will ask for 500 million yuan as ransom? If the amount of ransom isn’t high enough, even if Si Huan used the available cash mentioned in the accounts, the Si Family won’t have any objections, right? Unless your men are amongst the kidnappers…”

“Shush, shush, shush. Good girl, if you’re so smart, you’ll give me a lot of pressure.” He Yu didn’t admit it directly, but his attitude was clear enough. “In order to ensure that this plan is foolproof, I’ve made ample preparations. Even though the ransom amount is just a small detail, I won’t overlook it.”

“Your plans are all closely linked together. If I were your enemy, I would probably be very troubled.” Huo You sighed. “Fortunately, we’re partners.”

“This is truly a supreme praise…”

He Yu laughed happily.
