Chapter 76: The Overbearing CEO’s Rescue
When Chu Qing woke up in a daze, he found himself lying on a rather… comfortable bed?
He looked around and found himself in a small room with a bed, a wardrobe, and a table and chairs. It seemed to be a hotel in the suburbs, and he could even see the woods outside the window.
Ngh…
He shook his head.
Before he passed out, he had been knocked unconscious and taken away by Huo Liao. In his daze, he seemed to have gotten into a car.
He sat up and saw that his wrists were tied, but other than that, there was nothing.
He looked around warily.
I wonder if Yu Weixi is safe…
Before he passed out, he seemed to have seen them leave Yu Weixi on the ground. It seemed they were unwilling to take another person with them while fleeing.
I hope he’s really not here.
He lowered his head. He had caused trouble for Huo Li.
Will Huo Liao use me to threaten him… and make some difficult demands?
He was a little annoyed.
Bang!
The door was roughly pushed open. Huo Liao stood on the side and glanced at him. “You’re awake? Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
He didn’t answer and just went over and pulled him up, leading him out.
He was pulled and stumbled into the car again.
He glanced at him sitting next to him, paused, and said, “If you want to use me to threaten Mr. Huo, then I’ll kill myself. I’ll die in front of you so you have no bargaining chip.”
He looked at him with contempt and sneered, “Do you really think you’re that important?”
He said with a blank expression, “I am. If Mr. Huo knows that I’m dead, he won’t hold back when he makes a move. Do you think you can escape?”
He was stunned.
He turned his head to look at him.
At this moment, when he was talking about him in front of him, he was no longer the same as before, humble and tentative, always avoiding the topic. He was full of confidence, and even his eyes would be tinged with a bit of affection when he mentioned him.
And looking at his current appearance, when he had gone to the studio to observe and wait for an opportunity, he had seen him and Yu Weixi come out to buy barbecue from a distance.
He was silent, feeling… disgusted.
Why.
He grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard, his voice cold. “Don’t mention Huo Li.”
He endured the pain and said with a grin, “Why are you afraid to mention him? Aren’t you taking me to see him? You’ll have to see him eventually.”
“Shut up!” he said, and twisted his hand outwards, hissing, “Why would I send you back?! I went through so much trouble to bring you out just to return you to him?”
He couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
“If you mention him again, I’ll break your other hand,” he said, and pushed him away, sitting on the side with a dark expression.
He held his hand and thought, I finally know what he’s going to do.
Since he’s not planning to use me to threaten him, then could it be…
To take me on the run with him?
He was stunned, then laughed in a low voice, deliberately provoking, “Mr. Huo Liao, you really like me… you know you have no chance of winning, and you’re planning to run away, but you didn’t forget to take me with you.”
“Are you done?!” he said sternly. “Who would fall for a filthy person like you!”
He said, “Didn’t you say before that you could give me whatever he could give me, and asked me to give him up?”
“That…” he paused and frowned. “Don’t tell me you’re willing to give up now?”
“I’m not.”
“…” he said coldly. “Don’t challenge my bottom line. Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”
“You’ve been asking me to give up on him until now. How could you possibly kill me?”
“…You think I like you?!” he said, as if he had heard a great joke, and sneered, “Get it straight. I’m taking you with me just because he took everything from me, so I’m giving him a taste of his own medicine! Doesn’t he like you? Then I’ll make his life miserable!”
“Mr. Huo Liao, why are you so obsessed with taking his things?” he said with a frown. “If you had been well-behaved from the beginning and hadn’t fought with him for the family property and business, then he wouldn’t have targeted you. You would have had a share of the family property. You’re his younger brother.”
“Bullshit!” he said. “In his eyes, I’m the son of a mistress!”
“But what has he ever done to you? He has never hated you. When I first met him, he also treated you like a real younger brother. But you went against him again and again,” he said. “I know him. He’s fierce on the surface, but he’s actually a clear-headed, rational person who is nostalgic and values relationships.”
“…”
He said gently, persuading, “Let me go back. Have a good talk with him… as long as you’re a little more well-behaved in the future, he won’t necessarily have to kill you.”
“You let me go back, and I’ll also talk to him. He listens to everything I say.”
Huo Liao looked at Chu Qing.
The first time they had met, it was he who had gone to find him.
Because he was really curious. Huo Li had never treated anyone like this before.
When they met, and he learned that he was his Mr. Huo’s younger brother, he had immediately smiled. “H-Hello…! I’m Chu Qing.”
He had held out his hand to him, his smile incredibly gentle.
It was raining at that time. His shoulders and the top of his head were wet from the rain. When he saw this, he had pulled him in and made him a cup of hot cocoa.
He had always been so gentle. He had never met a gentle person, so he felt that he was probably the most gentle and pure person he had ever met.
But from the beginning, he had liked him, only him. No one could sway him.
He was like a great mountain in front of him.
He was the son of a mistress. Not to mention his birth, he was no match for him in any other aspect. Since he was a child, everyone would point at his nose and laugh, saying that he was the stain of the Huo family, no wonder he couldn’t compare to him.
No different from a maggot.
Why.
“It’s too late,” he sneered. “I killed his driver and kidnapped you. He won’t let me go. But… so what? Your Mr. Huo is already dead.”
“…?”
“You said my brother values relationships, right? Ha! He does, but the people around him, his brothers, have all betrayed him. Z betrayed him, I betrayed him, and one of his bodyguards… I took his family and had him plant a bomb under his car. Now he has been blown to death!”
He had deliberately said it in detail, looking at him with a grin, full of pleasure. “In the US, he has been blown to pieces!”
He had finally won once.
“…” he stared at him blankly.
“Impossible,” he said. “You’re just lying to me to make me behave.”
“Does it matter if I’m lying to you or not?” he sneered.
“…”
He lowered his gaze.
Impossible…
Calm down, calm down… Mr. Huo is so amazing. How could he possibly die…
He thought, I have to hold on. I have to hold on and wait for him to come and save me.
He had always believed him, and yet he didn’t.
It was very contradictory.
He had always felt that he would leave him, but… he thought, I have to believe him.
They have already promised.
Now that he is temporarily not here, I also have to hold on and protect myself well.
I can’t let Mr. Huo worry, otherwise he will be angry.
Mr. Huo will come back.
He said he would come back, so he will definitely be able to do it.
He took a deep breath, grabbed his own wrist, and said with a smile, “Even if he is dead, you still can’t compare to him.”
“…”
“If you can’t compare, you can’t. Snatching me away is no different from a childish little child who can’t get a toy.”
Bang!
He pressed him to the side, grabbed his collar, and said with a terrifying look, “You just keep talking, say whatever you want. When we’re on the boat and settled down… you’ll see how I’ll make you submit.”
“…”
He snorted and let him go.
He sat on the side, holding his aching hand, and discreetly covered his stomach.
After all this, his stomach was also a little uncomfortable.
He naturally didn’t dare to tell him that he was pregnant, otherwise… the consequences would be unimaginable.
He could only be careful himself.
He took a deep breath.
He had tried to persuade him nicely, and he had also tried to provoke him, but he was determined to take him away. After a few attempts, there was no other way.
He closed his eyes. He thought, I can only wait for an opportunity to escape.
…
The car drove on for a day, deliberately taking remote forest paths. It drove non-stop from early morning until late at night, and finally arrived at the pier in the early morning of the next day.
The private pier was in a remote location and was used for fishermen to deliver goods. At this time, it was not yet time, and there were not many people.
In this public place, he couldn’t tie his hands. He hid his handgun in his sleeve and pressed it against his waist. “Go.”
He frowned slightly.
He discreetly observed his surroundings.
They were all his men, surrounding them, and there was also a weapon pressed against his waist. He couldn’t leave.
He would not kill him, but if it was to stop him from escaping, it was not impossible for him to be shot a few times. At that time, the baby in his belly…
He frowned slightly.
How about… I find an opportunity on the boat to turn the tables and make a move on him?
“Go!”
He tapped his back with the muzzle of the gun.
He was led by him across the deck. Just as the boat was about to leave, he only heard a “bang,” and then a large group of people broke out of the cabin.
His eyes widened, and he saw that the deck they were on was surrounded by people, each one holding a gun, looking fierce.
He stood on the side and looked at him with a grin. “You’re here.”
His whole body stiffened.
“You… you…”
What’s going on… how is that possible!!
“You’re not…”
Not dead?
He also thought it was impossible, but he had really done it.
First, he had made him think that he was dead, to let his guard down. Then he had secretly traced the mole from the bomb, but he had not rushed to punish him, but had had the mole arrange for a boat for him.
In the end, he had rushed the flight and had even called a private helicopter, and had finally managed to arrive at his transfer point just before him.
He had been using tricky little paths on the way, which were difficult to track, but only here, there was no escaping.
Perfect… catching a turtle in a jar.
He was also stunned.
Huo Li… Mr. Huo… it’s his Mr. Huo!
“Mr. Huo…!” he called out in a low voice.
Mr. Huo is here!
He tried hard to suppress his emotions.
As expected, he didn’t have to worry about his safety at all.
He would never break a promise he had made.
“You… you forced me,” he said, his features twisted with anger. He still hadn’t figured out the situation and didn’t understand how he had appeared here. He just fiercely pressed the muzzle of the gun to his head and shouted, “If you want Chu Qing’s life, then exchange it for yours!
He frowned slightly.
He shouted at him from not far away, “Don’t you have a gun? Point it at your head! Do it! Aren’t you and Chu Qing so in love that you can give your life for each other! Huh?!”
Hysterical.
He thought, When he saw him “come back from the dead” and was surrounded here, the blow of failure had already made him lose his composure.
“If you don’t, don’t do as I say, I’ll shoot him!” he said, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against his temple.
“Don’t hurt him,” he said, his eyes darkening. “You put down the gun, and I’ll spare your life.”
Of course he had to spare his life.
He sneered.
Otherwise, it would be a pity if he died so easily.
His tone was icy. “Your men can’t beat mine. You have no chance of winning.”
He bared his teeth with a smile. No matter how many people there were, he wouldn’t dare to fight him. He was still here.
He held his neck with one hand and a gun with the other.
He frowned slightly.
No…
This can’t go on.
He took a deep breath. He thought, For Mr. Huo, I’ll risk it…!
Bang—
Everyone was shocked.
They saw him suddenly attack. He didn’t know where he got the strength, but he suddenly hit him hard with his elbow and leg. He used all his weight to pounce on him. One, he was too surprised, and two, he didn’t really want to kill him, so his hand on the trigger was a step too slow, and he was grabbed by the wrist.
He said, “Now!”
The two sides immediately started to fight, and his men clearly had the upper hand.
And he was naturally no match for him, but he had the advantage of the terrain.
The place where the two were standing was on the edge of the deck. He directly pushed him down, and the two of them fell off the boat together.
No one could make a move.
Splash—!
“Quick! Get them!”
“Quick, go down!”
