Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

“I can go with you, but I can’t guarantee we can change the outcome,”

Liu Shiyin looked at Xue'er, whose face was covered in tears, and spoke.

Hearing Liu Shiyin say this, Xue'er felt her despair dispelled by a glimmer of hope. She quickly wiped away her tears, tightly grasped Liu Shiyin's hand, and spoke in a trembling voice filled with gratitude:

"Thank you, Shion-nee. Thank you."

"Let's go,"

Liu Shiyin gently withdrew her hand, stood up, straightened her clothes, and the two of them walked out of the room and headed towards the living room.

Faced with Huo Muchen's harsh interrogation, Xiao Hong's psychological defenses had long since crumbled. Her body trembled, her eyes darted around, unable to meet Huo Muchen's sharp gaze. She knew that if she spoke, all her secrets would be exposed.

However, after the incident, both she and Xue'er accepted bribes from Qin Xiang. These bribes meant food and clothing for their families and were the foundation of their livelihoods.

They decided then and there that they would bear it all, no matter what. They couldn't let Qin Xiang's affair be exposed, nor could they allow themselves and their families to fall into deeper trouble.

Huo Muchen's doubts grew stronger as he watched Xiao Hong stammering.

He knew that Xiao Hong and Xue'er were definitely hiding something. But he also knew that getting the truth out of them wouldn't be easy.

He slowed his speech slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he unexpectedly saw Liu Shiyin and Xue'er slowly walking towards him.

He frowned slightly and asked with a hint of concern:

"Didn't I tell you to rest in your room? Why did you come out?"

As he spoke, Huo Muchen quickly stepped forward to greet her, his voice full of tenderness and worry, as if he were afraid that she would be harmed in the slightest.

Ignoring the sharp gaze Qin Xiang cast at her, Liu Shiyin looked up at Huo Muchen and spoke after a long silence:

"Don't pursue this any further. It's all in the past, and besides..."

"impossible,"

Before Liu Shiyin could finish speaking, Huo Muchen interrupted her. She had no idea how furious Huo Muchen was when he saw the injury on her face.

"They stay, everyone else go down,"

Huo Muchen pointed to Xiao Hong and Xue'er.

Seeing this, the others lowered their heads and tactfully withdrew silently. The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, like a string about to snap.

Huo Muchen's tone was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth:

"Tell me, besides the two of you, who else was involved in this?"

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, piercing straight to the heart.

Xue'er and Xiao Hong trembled in the cold atmosphere, their emotions on the verge of collapse, but they both gritted their teeth and did not speak.

Seeing their reaction, Huo Muchen waved for the two bodyguards behind him to come forward.

“Take them to Yongle Street in Xicheng and say it’s free. Also, I don’t want to see them walk out standing up.”

Huo Muchen's voice was calm and resolute, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Yes, Young Master Huo."

The bodyguards understood immediately and walked towards Xue'er and Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong and Xue'er naturally knew what "Yongle Street" was. It was a gathering place for thugs and recently released convicts, filled with prostitutes and cheap transactions.

Huo Muchen's offer of free services to the two of them was undoubtedly an attempt to kill them.

Tears welled up in Xue'er and Xiao Hong's eyes and streamed down their cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Desperate, their knees buckled and they knelt before Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin, their voices trembling with despair as they pleaded:

"Young Master Huo, Sister Shiyin, we were confused for a moment and made a terrible mistake. Please forgive us, we really know we were wrong. Sister Shiyin, we're sorry, we promise we'll never do it again."

As they spoke, they moved toward Liu Shiyin's feet, hoping to gain some leniency.
