After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Fifty: I'll Protect You

Are you injured?

Huo Xiao dares to hurt Mu Xi?!

"Okay, I understand." I hung up the phone.

I don't know where Huo Xiao took Mu Xi.

The only way is to go find Huo Yi.

But I don't know him at all.

Oh, right, Huo Yubai.

Huo Yubai knew how to contact Huo Yi.

I don't know if Huo Yubai changed his phone number.

I tried sending him a WeChat message first.

But when I flipped to his business card, below his name was Huo Yushen, and those three words still sting my eyes to this day.

I opened the dialog box.

Me: Huo Yubai, are you busy?

Huo Yubai replied instantly: No.

Me: Could you help me contact Huo Yi? Huo Xiao has kidnapped Mu Xi, and I'm very worried.

Huo Yubai: Just a moment.

He agreed.

I waited anxiously.

Three minutes later.

Huo Yubai: I'll drive to pick you up. Huo Yi has already sent people to look for you.

Me: Okay.

I sent my location.

Then go and wait for him.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Dai Chen'an asked.

I gently shook my head: "There's still a lot of work in the lab. Could you take care of it for me first? This is my personal matter, and I can handle it myself."

“Okay.” Dai Chen’an dropped me off by the roadside.

I got out of the car and waited for Huo Yubai.

ten minutes later.

A black Maybach stopped in front of me.

The license plate starts with the letter A and ends with four 9s.

My heart sank.

Huo Yubai's status is now unattainable.

He got out of the car: "Huo Yi has found them and is on his way. I'll take you there."

"Okay." I followed him into the car.

There was a driver in the car.

He and I sat in the back row, neither of us saying a word.

It seems we have nothing to say to each other.

Half an hour later.

The car was parked in front of a clubhouse.

Huo Yubai and I hurriedly got out of the car.

Huo Yi has arrived and is already inside.

We entered the clubhouse.

Then I saw Huo Yi carry Mu Xi out in a princess carry.

Mu Xi nestled in Huo Yi's arms, her face covered in wounds, blood trickling from her mouth and nose.

Huo Xiao was still chasing after them.

"Brother, she's my wife!" Huo Xiao shouted angrily.

I stepped forward and grabbed Huo Xiao by the tie, slapping him twice across the face.

When he saw it was me, he tried to resist.

I kicked him away.

He lost his balance and staggered back several steps.

Before he could even look up, I punched him twice in the face.

Huo Xiao's face was also bruised, and blood was flowing from his nose and mouth.

"You?!" Huo Xiao hadn't expected me to be so strong.

He underestimates people.

"You still know she's your wife, and you dare treat her like this? Huo Xiao, if anything happens to Mu Xi, I will definitely kill you!" I wanted nothing more than to crush him.

Huo Xiao was beaten until he was exhausted.

Huo Yubai had his driver take Mu Xi to the hospital.

He said to Huo Yi, "Huo Xiao must give an explanation for what happened today. As the eldest brother, you can't leave."

Huo Yi's face darkened.

He explained to me, "He didn't hurt the person."

“But he forcibly brought him here,” I said coldly.

Huo Yi continued, "It was Su Ran's cousin who did it."

I clenched my fist: "So Huo Xiao just watched a man lay a hand on his wife, is that right?"

I got even angrier.

"Mu Xi started it. She said she didn't care about me and Su Ran, but last night, while my older brother was scolding me, she actually sent someone to my house to threaten Su Ran. Su Ran was so frightened that she fell ill and couldn't get out of bed," Huo Xiao argued.

"Mu Xi isn't the kind of person who pulls dirty tricks behind people's backs!" I said angrily. "You say Mu Xi sent people there, but I think it was Su Ran who orchestrated it all. Have you investigated this thoroughly? You can believe whatever Su Ran says, but first, show me the evidence!"

“What Su Ran said is evidence,” Huo Xiao retorted, still unconvinced.

I sneered, "Fine, since you trust Su Ran so much, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Tell Su Ran to be careful on the street from now on."

"What are you going to do to her?" Huo Xiao asked excitedly.

"I'll do whatever you did to Mu Xi, so don't look at me with such disbelief." I sneered, "Mu Xi didn't tell her family about you two because she was afraid her parents would worry, but that doesn't mean she can be bullied like this."

Huo Xiao retorted, "You damned woman, let me tell you, if you dare touch Su Ran, I won't let you get away with it!"

"Heh, then you'll have to produce evidence first." I looked at him coldly.

Huo Xiao looked at Huo Yi: "Big Brother..."

"You don't need to look at me like that, I can't help you." Huo Yi said, glancing at Huo Yubai.

The person Huo Yubai was protecting was someone even he couldn't touch.

Moreover, he would never hurt Mu Xi for the sake of an outsider.

"Where is Su Ran's cousin?" I asked Huo Yi.

“They ran away,” Huo Yi replied.

I didn't believe it: "Could it be that you let it escape?"

Huo Yi frowned.

"This was definitely not done by Huo Yi," Huo Yubai said. "I've already sent people to look for him."

I gave Huo Xiao a cold glance, then turned and left.

Huo Yubai followed him out.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Huo Yubai said in a deep voice, "I'm not trying to explain for Huo Yi. Huo Xiao is so audacious because Huo Xiao's mother is very popular in their family. Although Huo Yi is the eldest brother and the head of the Huo family, he also faces obstacles."

"Huo Yubai, it's understandable that men have it tough, after all, we're all human, and everyone faces hardships when we're born into society. But does that give you the right to take it out on women?" I questioned. "What did Mu Xi do wrong? The Huo family just tolerates Huo Xiao bullying an innocent woman like this. In my opinion, Huo Xiao is a coward. He likes Su Ran, so why doesn't he insist on refusing the marriage? It's just because he's afraid to disobey his family for money. What's there to explain? He's trash!"

Huo Yubai looked at me with a helpless yet profound expression: "It sounds like you're insulting me?"

"Why would I curse you? I have no grudge against you." I retorted indignantly.

"But you're making veiled accusations." Huo Yubai's dark eyes deepened: "So, Shen Yan, who are you insulting?"

Yes.

Who am I cursing?

Looking at Huo Yubai's face, who can I curse?

Actually, I shouldn't see him again, because looking at his face reminds me of the man who hurt me so deeply.

Even now, I dare not mention his name to anyone.

Even worse, nobody knew he existed.

But Huo Yubai knew; he knew who I was complaining about.

"Are you going to take me to the hospital or not?" I asked, trying to calm myself down.

Huo Yubai gave me a deep look: "Get in the car."

Another car came to pick us up.

This time it's a Bentley.

Half an hour later.

We arrived at the hospital.

After emergency treatment, Mu Xi is out of danger and has regained consciousness.

I went in.

When Mu Xi saw me, she cried: "Yan Yan."

My heart ached: "Muxi, divorce him. Don't worry, I can protect you now. Seeing you like this reminds me of my mother. I was too young to protect anyone back then, but things are different now. Muxi, I'll protect you!"
