Speaking Up for Justice
Huo Xiaoran did not emerge, but his bodyguards walked out in unison. The four bodyguards were at least 1.8 meters tall and wore neat suits and sunglasses.
They were dumbfounded.
The instigator, Xie Cunhua, mustered her courage and puffed out her chest. “Xing Chen, don’t be a coward. Come out. We have something to ask you.”
At this moment, the bodyguard walked up to Xie Cunhua and the others and said coldly and disdainfully, “It’s not that CEO Huo doesn’t dare to see you, but he disdains to see you.”
Xie Cunhua was speechless.
The bodyguard continued, “If you have anything to say, tell us. How can you alarm my CEO with such a lousy matter?”
Xie Cunhua felt as if she had been slapped hard. Her face burned.
“I want to talk to Xing Chen,” she insisted.
“There is no Xing Chen here. There’s only CEO Huo Xiaoran. You’re not worthy to see Huo Xiaoran.” The bodyguard said resolutely.
Xie Cunhua’s expression became even uglier.
“Why should he look down on others? Weren’t we friends back then?” Xie Cunhua said suddenly.
“President Huo was born into a wealthy family. You are from two different worlds. When President Huo lost his memory, you were lucky to get to know him. He’s willing to make friends with you stupid people because he was born kind and cultured, but that doesn’t mean you’re worthy of being his friends. Get lost. President Huo isn’t someone you can have a discussion with,” the bodyguard said impatiently.
Xie Chunhua and the others could sense the bodyguards’ disdain for them. It was a proud feeling of looking down on them and treating them as ants. Even if they were born with a proud heart, in the face of the aggressive bodyguards, be it his aura, his speech, or his luxurious clothes, everything hinted to them that it was wishful thinking for them to want Xing Chen to get along with them as equals.
“Get lost.” The bodyguard was impatient.
A mere bodyguard looking down on them like this made them deeply understand the gap between them and Huo Xiaoran.
In the room, Huo Xiaoran was applying ointment for Qiao An.
Qiao An lay on the bed and listened quietly to the commotion outside.
Huo Xiaoran ignored the outside world and seriously observed her wound.
“An’an, you’re recovering well. The skin at the edge is starting to return to normal. The blisters and pus are slowly dissipating.”
Qiao An was not in the mood to listen to him at all. She suddenly said, “Brother Xiaoran, go deal with it.” She winked at him and glanced outside.
Huo Xiaoran put down the ointment with a dark expression.
“They’re bothering you, aren’t they?”
Qiao An nodded. “My heart aches for them to misunderstand you so.”
Resigned to his fate, he stood up and walked out with a dark expression.
Xie Cunhua and the others were worried that they would not have the chance to see Xing Chen when they suddenly heard the creak of the door. Then, they saw Huo Xiaoran walking out in expensive clothes with an elegant and noble aura.
After not seeing him for a day, they had a whole new level of respect for him.
However, the cold aura around him could not be associated with Xing Chen. It could be seen how important a person’s temperament was.
Huo Xiaoran gave off a distant, cold, and unapproachable aura, and Xing Chen was approachable.
Xie Cunhua had no choice but to shoot. She mustered her courage and questioned Huo Xiaoran, “Xing Chen, why did you treat Xiaoya like that?”
Huo Xiaoran walked over with a dark expression and looked at Xie Cunhua disdainfully. His cold tone carried a hint of warning. “It’s not your place to interfere in my matters. If you come to my door and bark again, don’t blame me for being rude to you. Get lost.”
Xie Cunhua was stunned.
Was this what Xing Chen looked like when he was reasoning?
He was completely domineering and single-minded.
It was as if he ruled his world.
Xie Cunhua’s arrogance and aggressiveness instantly lost their power. Her expression changed and she said in a fawning and negotiating tone, “Xing Chen, it doesn’t matter if Xing Xiaoya started this fire, but Xing Xiaoya said that Qiao An isn’t dead. In that case, isn’t your punishment for Xing Xiaoya a little too heavy? You beat her up like that without caring about the four years of kinship. If Father Xing knows that you treated her like this, he will definitely regret saving you.”
After Xie Cunhua finished speaking, her other companions looked at Xing Chen smugly. They were waiting to see Xing Chen regret and feel guilty.
A sinister sneer appeared on Huo Xiaoran’s beautiful face. “I think you have nothing to do after eating too much.” Then, he said to the bodyguards, “These people have too long a tongue. Slap them.”
The bodyguard stepped forward and there was a sudden clatter.
Before Xie Cunhua and the others could react, this disaster happened unexpectedly.
All of them were beaten until their teeth bled. They were in so much pain that they wanted to die, but they did not dare to say anything.
After the fight, they looked at Huo Xiaoran in horror. Their original arrogant provocation disappeared.
Huo Xiaoran explained faintly, “Do you know why you were beaten up?”
Xie Cunhua and the others muttered in their hearts, “It’s all because you’re ferocious.”
If they had known that Xing Chen had become so terrifying, they might have thought twice about today’s crusade.
Huo Xiaoran continued, “It’s not because I’m cold and heartless, but because you’re too stupid. Before fighting for justice, you have to figure out who’s in the wrong. Who gave you the courage to stand on the wrong side and blame the victim?”
A few of Xie Cunhua’s admirers immediately looked at her accusingly. At this moment, they realized that they had made a huge mistake by blindly helping Xie Cunhua suppress Xing Chen.
In particular, Huo Xiaoran said, “Xing Xiaoya set fire to the wooden house and injured a large area of my An’an’s skin. You’re simply courting death by standing up for her.”
After Huo Xiaoran finished speaking, he instructed the bodyguards, “Send them to the police station and say that they disturbed my private life by trespassing. They deliberately were seeking to injure someone and failed. Let the folks at the police station give them some brains.”
Xie Cunhua and the others were all paper tigers. When they heard that they were going to jail, they were so frightened that they peed their pants. They even knelt on the ground and begged Huo Xiaoran for mercy. “Xing Chen, we were wrong. Please forgive us.”
Huo Xiaoran waved his hand as if he was waving a fly. “Take them away.”
Xie Cunhua looked at Xing Chen in horror. Only then did she truly feel that the approachable Xing Chen had disappeared.
Xing Chen, who had regained his memory, exuded a noble aura from his bones.
Xie Cunhua regretted her foolish actions.
Instead of waiting for her good friend’s salvation, Xing Xiaoya heard the villagers discussing that Xie Cunhua and the others had been sent to the police station. Her heart turned completely cold.
