Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Don’t Let Any Escape!
Momo, despite being injured, walked towards Han and grabbed his shoulders, saying, “Han, do you remember now?”
Han nodded his head.
He remembered that afternoon, when he couldn’t find Momo, he walked out of the classroom to see Fang Heng standing at the other end of the corridor, speaking with a tone of gloating and disdain, “I pushed Lin Jinmo into the water. He’s drowning. Do you want to see how he drowns?”
Stricken with the cruel and naive tone, Han broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, filled with fear and anxiety, he ran towards Fang Heng, yelling, “Give Momo back to me!”
Fang Heng taunted, “Silly boy, come catch me!” After saying this, he ran off far ahead.
Han desperately chased after him.
The two of them ran into the swimming pool one after the other.
Believing that Fang Heng had pushed Momo into the pool, Han leaned over the pool edge, searching for a long while. Meanwhile, Fang Heng stood by, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly, “Fool, such a fool!”
It was then that Han realized he had been deceived. Trembling with anger, he demanded to know where Momo was.
But Fang Heng wouldn’t say, instead he splashed water on him, mocking him.
For the first time, Han cursed at someone: “Bastard!”
Fang Heng, not expecting him to swear, was provoked and furiously pushed him into the water, only then realizing that the place where he pushed Han was the deep section.
He dared not jump in to rescue him or make a noise, fearing the blame if others discovered that he was the one who had pushed Han. So, he turned and fled.
In that moment, a childish yet cruel thought nearly crossed his mind: as long as Han drowned, no one would find out it was he who pushed Han into the water!
Han pointed at Fang Heng and said, “He pushed me!” He seldom spoke, so his words were not very coherent.
Mrs. Fang looked towards Huo Tingdong and, seeing the man’s face visibly turn grim and icy, she hurriedly began to explain, “Mr. Huo, Young Master Han is so young, and besides, he has an intellectual disability, his words can’t be taken seriously!”
Lin Qi coldly said, “Are you suggesting that Han is mentally deficient?”
Mrs. Fang retorted, “Is there room for you to interfere here?”
Huo Tingdong scoffed, “I should believe my son’s words. Am I supposed to believe your son’s unilateral account?”
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Fang Heng, “Did you push Han into the water?”
Fang Heng, intimidated by his gaze, was so frightened that he fell to the ground, shaking.
Mrs. Fang immediately rushed up, protecting her son, “Mr. Huo, are you trying to coerce a confession? You are scaring him by questioning him like this! He will surely speak out of fear!”
Huo Tingdong grabbed her by the arm, coldly saying, “He knows fear? What about you? Do you know fear? Do you know Han is my life? Do you dare to harm my life? Do you think I wouldn’t dare to touch the Fang Family?”
Mrs. Fang turned deathly pale, “Mr. Huo, please let me explain…”
Han walked over, pointing at Fang Heng, “He is the one who pushed.”
Mrs. Fang said, “You’re lying. My son would never push you.”
“Han would not lie,” Han said earnestly, “It was him.”
Lin Qi declared, “This is attempted murder….” If kids push each other and it accidentally leads to falling into water, that’s one thing, but Fang Heng’s case is different. He did it intentionally, intending to kill Han.
So young, yet so malicious.
Momo looked at Fang Heng, who was cowering behind Mrs. Fang, trembling, and thought back to when Fang Heng had raised a steel sword toward him. If it weren’t for Huo Tingdong intervening in time to protect him, he might have been struck on the head and bleeding profusely.
It hadn’t dawned on him until this moment.
He suddenly felt a sting on his neck and gently wiped it with his hand, finding a trace of blood on his palm.
Seeing the blood, Lin Qi was terrified, “Momo, are you alright?”
She pulled open Momo’s collar to check, fortunately, Momo had dodged in time, and it was just a scratch, not a deep wound.
Momo reassured, “Mommy, don’t worry, this injury won’t leave a scar.”
Lin Qi laughed in relief, “Who cares about scars? Mommy is worried about whether it hurts.”
“It doesn’t hurt,” Momo smiled, “Mommy, I won.”
Lin Qi embraced him with heartfelt concern.
In the Sword Hall, suddenly resounded Huo Tingdong’s deep voice, yet filled with an air of suppressed rage: “The Huo Family won’t let this go easily!”
He picked up Han and walked over to Lin Qi, noticing the blood on Momo’s neck, his expression darkened again, “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
…
Song Shuyan changed into a Chanel gown and when she rushed to Windsor High School, the school celebration had already ended prematurely.
The entrance was packed with luxury cars.
Parents were leaving with their children one after another.
Trying to reach Huo Tingdong, Song Shuyan found her calls unanswered.
What happened?
She randomly stopped a parent and asked, “Is the garden party over?”
“Yes.”
“What happened?” Song Shuyan asked worriedly, “Isn’t there a banquet tonight?”
“It’s said that a major incident occurred, the Fang Family is done for this time!”
Another parent passing by also paused to add, mockingly, “The Fang Family has always acted superior and arrogant among the elite, but now that they have provoked the Huo Family, the Huo Family will not let them off easily!”
Song Shuyan furrowed her eyebrows, “How did the Fang Family provoke the Huo Family?”
“Some time ago, the young master of the Huo Family nearly drowned in the swimming pool, it wasn’t an accident, he was pushed into the water by Mrs. Fang’s son!”
“Isn’t that attempted murder?”
“Who doesn’t know, Young Master Han is Mr. Huo’s darling?”
Hearing this, Song Shuyan’s heart skipped a beat.
She had never heard Huo Tingdong mention this.
At Yuhua Mansion.
Momo was sitting on the sofa, his wounds meticulously tended by the nanny who applied medicine and bandaged him, saying with sympathy, “Fortunately, the wound isn’t deep, and not much blood was lost, do you need a tetanus shot?”
Lin Qi replied, “No need, it’s just a superficial wound, disinfection is enough.”
She was still somewhat fearful.
The neck area, where the helmet and protective gear meet, wasn’t fully protected. It was apparent that Momo reacted quickly. Had his response been a bit slower, and the sword thrust a bit deeper, it could have been a gruesome hole.
Han clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, “I won’t let him off!”
He turned, grabbed Huo Tingdong’s big hand, looking at him with a furious expression.
Huo Tingdong pinched his cheek, coaxing him with a smile, “Okay, Daddy won’t let him off.”
Han nodded seriously.
After all, it was the people from the Fang Family who bullied him, bullied Momo, and bullied Aunt Qiqi.
Not one will be spared!
Momo told Han, “Han, I’m alright.”
Han walked over and tenderly blew on his neck.
Yet Momo could only giggle as he covered his neck, “Hahaha! Stop blowing, it’s so ticklish!”
Seeing Momo laugh, Han also started to laugh, showing his bright white teeth.
Laughter indeed is contagious.
Han looked at Lin Qi, then at her beautiful dress, and suddenly his expression turned sad, his lashes downturned into an almost crying expression.
Lin Qi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Seemingly understanding Han’s disappointment, Momo said, “He’s disappointed he didn’t get to see Mommy and Uncle Huo dance.”
What do you think?
