Chapter 855: It’s All a Lie

Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking at the darkened screen of the phone, Huo Yichen didn’t know what was wrong with Jiang Weiyang again, but after confirming that Murong Qiao was in Jiang Weiyang’s hands, not only did he not feel relieved, he was even more worried.

The time given by Jiang Weiyang was limited. It didn’t even allow Huo Yichen to do anything else after hanging up. He could only follow the other party’s instructions and go to the address immediately.

At this moment, Huo Yichen was even more worried about Murong Qiao’s safety. He almost instantly returned to his car and drove to the address.

Fortunately, it was already afternoon and not evening. The traffic on the road was not particularly heavy, and the journey was basically unimpeded. Huo Yichen even arrived at the port in 19 and a half minutes.

Just as Jiang Weiyang had said on the phone previously, there was indeed a “ship” waiting for him at the port. However, it was a small boat that only looked suitable for one or two people to ride. Huo Yichen followed Jiang Weiyang’s words and boarded the boat.

The boat swayed in the water with a key in it. Huo Yichen turned it and could start the throttle to drive.

Seeing that Jiang Weiyang seemed to be serious this time, Huo Yichen had already begun to consider all kinds of possibilities.

However, he was not the only one with thoughts. There was also Huo Xiuyuan, who was forced to be on the same side as Jiang Weiyang on the ship.

At this moment, the other party was standing in front of Huo Ya. Under Huo Ya’s accusing gaze, he was a little impatient.

“What’s going on between you and that girl?”

After the joy of meeting, Huo Ya finally couldn’t help but ask this question. When she thought of the scene she saw with Huo Xiuyuan and the girl that day, she felt uncomfortable. She had always wanted to pursue an answer, and now, the opportunity was right in front of her.

Huo Xiuyuan didn’t expect Huo Ya to stay on the ship and wait for him to come over just for an answer. For a moment, his thoughts were complicated.

In a sense, Huo Ya’s goal was too simple, so much so that Huo Xiuyuan found it ridiculous.

“Didn’t you see everything? What else is there to ask?”

Huo Xiuyuan also gave the other party an answer impatiently. Then, he received Huo Ya’s disappointed gaze and disbelief.

Huo Ya bit her lip and suddenly felt that Huo Xiuyuan looked a little unfamiliar. “But you clearly said that you wanted to marry me when you were young.”

She had always cared about this sentence and had taken it seriously when she was young.

Therefore, she had never liked any boys or accepted their confessions until she grew up. From the beginning to the end, she only had Huo Xiuyuan in her heart. She firmly believed that they were childhood sweethearts and that they would get married and be happy when they grew up.

“It’s just nonsense that I said when I was young. You didn’t really take it seriously, did you?” Huo Xiuyuan took two steps back in frustration. He looked at the surging waves outside and felt even more uneasy.

Jiang Weiyang had already disappeared for almost an hour. He didn’t know what the other party was playing with at this moment.

Especially when he thought of the speedboat that had been hidden somewhere, Huo Xiuyuan, who had no way out, felt inexplicably anxious. He could even imagine the worst possibility. Jiang Weiyang might just bury all of them in this sea and die silently without anyone knowing.

He didn’t want to die. The Huo Family was not in his hands yet.

“I don’t believe it.” Huo Ya broke down and asked him with a sobbing tone. “Didn’t you like me very much before and even said so much to me?”

She was referring to what Huo Xiuyuan had said to her when he first returned to the country. The two of them had even chatted very gently on the phone. At that time, Huo Xiuyuan was far more patient with Huo Ya than he was now.

Seeing that Huo Ya had yet to realize it, Huo Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment. However, he didn’t want to expose all of this. It was just his selfish act of obtaining the Huo Corporation’s trade secrets.

He admitted in his heart that he had lied to her, but on the surface, he wanted to occupy Kelly’s resources and use her to help him achieve some goals.

But now that Huo Ya was standing in front of him and questioning him, Huo Xiuyuan was a little impatient.

“That’s all a lie. I already have a girlfriend. Moreover, we plan to hold a wedding after we get engaged.”

Huo Xiuyuan gave the most decisive answer. Moreover, this was also what he had promised Kelly. Although he didn’t want to do it, this became the easiest reason to get rid of Huo Ya.

Previously, he had only said those sweet words because he wanted Huo Ya to help him obtain some business secrets. But now, looking at Huo Ya, who was pestering him and even helping Jiang Weiyang to get Murong Qiao to come up in order to see him, Huo Xiuyuan suddenly felt that he might have made a huge mistake previously.

Therefore, he decisively rejected Huo Ya, wanting her to give up. At the same time, it was to cut off the trouble that might appear later.

He was not afraid of Huo Ya’s pestering, but of Huo Qiuguang’s revenge.

Although the other party was not very influential in the Huo Family now after being separated from the main family for so many years, he must still have some power. Thinking that he would take over the Huo Family in the future, Huo Xiuyuan naturally couldn’t force her to a dead end.

“…”

After hearing Huo Xiuyuan’s words, Huo Ya seemed to have something to say, but after opening her mouth, she didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Huo Xiuyuan in shock, or rather, her gaze should be on the girl who suddenly appeared behind Huo Xiuyuan.

“Who, who are you?” Huo Ya suddenly said, making Huo Xiuyuan feel a little puzzled.

He looked up in confusion and frustration, but he realized that Huo Ya was not looking at him. She was looking behind him, so he immediately became vigilant. He turned around and quickly looked behind him, but he didn’t expect the cold muzzle of a gun to be pressed against his chest.

At that moment, he even felt his heart beating wildly.

“Don’t move.” Sofia looked at the awkward couple with a smile.

She was holding a small lady’s pistol in her hand. Coincidentally, when the other party turned around, she pressed it against his chest and gently pressed her index finger on the trigger, as if she could kill someone in the next second.

Seeing that his life had fallen into the hands of others, Huo Xiuyuan’s body immediately stiffened and he didn’t dare to move.

Huo Ya, on the other hand, stood in a daze. Her legs were so weak that she couldn’t move at all. She watched in horror as Sofia appeared beside Huo Xiuyuan and was controlled. The other party wanted to help, but she didn’t dare to speak loudly, afraid that if she said a word, she would make Sofia unhappy and cause their lives to be lost here.

Wasn’t Jiang Weiyang alone on the ship? When did this person appear?

Huo Xiuyuan’s thoughts raced, but his face was a little stiff as he revealed a fawning smile and showed his friendliness to Sofia.

“How can I help you, Miss?” Huo Xiuyuan didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Sofia raised her chin and gestured at the other party. “Of course I need your help, but please tie up the lady beside you first.”
