Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 465: Huo Xingzhou is Here

Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Huo Xingzhou is Here

The guests outside the Guan Family’s gates watched in shock at the scene unfolding before them.

Many young girls even covered their eyes, afraid to witness the gruesome sight.

In the corner of the gate, Li Nianqi, who was representing the Li Family at the banquet, was clenching her teeth, intently staring at the soon-to-be grisly scene.

She harbored a malicious thought in her heart, but was also afraid of why she would have such a notion, her heart a tangled mess of fear and resentment.

Sun Weimeng turned his head, his eyes splitting with rage.

"Qiao Xi, get out of the way!"

But the car was moving too fast, and by the time Qiao Xi realized she needed to dodge, her high heel got caught in the hem of her gown, making her stumble and fall to the ground.

This beautiful dress was sometimes a hindrance.

Her ankle throbbed with pain, as if it were sprained.

Through her blurred vision, she saw Lu Yan, his expression mocking in the driver’s seat, staring at her like a demon.

A sinking feeling hit the pit of Qiao Xi’s stomach.

Was he really going to commit murder in broad daylight?

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiang Ze spoke urgently, "Lu Yan, stop! Don’t cause a scene, or it will be even harder for us to clean up after. This woman, no matter how insignificant she is, is still Huo Xingzhou’s wife!"

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to—"

Lu Yan’s words were cut off as he was dazzled by a burst of intense light.

A Rolls-Royce was coming from the side street at high speed, about to crash into him.

Lu Yan’s face turned to terror as his heart nearly leaped out of his chest, he immediately swerved the steering wheel to avoid it.

Bang!

A loud noise erupted.

The airbags deployed.

The guests were beside themselves with shock, screaming in fright.

All they saw was Lu Yan’s sports car crashing into the external wall of the Guan residence, the front end smashed to pieces. The Rolls-Royce, however, did not collide with the sports car; it stopped just a few dozen centimeters away, its precision impeccable.

"Whose car is that?"

"Driving that recklessly, are they out of their minds? Both of them are out of their minds."

"Doesn’t it seem a bit strange? Lu Yan was going to hit Young Madam Huo, right? It was the sudden appearance of the Rolls-Royce that forced him to change direction!"

Under the public gaze, the Rolls-Royce’s engine shut off.

The car door opened.

The man who stepped out was breathtakingly handsome, tall, and statuesque, his eyes holding shards of cold ice. Like the last handful of snow on a cold winter mountain peak, his presence was commanding, warning strangers to keep their distance.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, his thin lips pressed firmly together.

He appeared like a deity.

"That’s..."

Some were still puzzled about his identity, while others began to suspect.

That was Huo Xingzhou!

The President of the Tianyuan Group from Haicheng!

He alone had brought the business landscape of Haicheng into his realm.

"Young Master!"

"Boss Huo!"

Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to look, the stars in her eyes twinkling bright.

She felt as if she were dreaming; how could Huo Xingzhou, who was far away in Haicheng, appear before her?

No wonder she couldn’t reach him at the banquet.

He must have been on a plane at that time.

Qiao Xi’s apricot eyes were brimming with moisture, as she watched him approach in a daze.

"Husband."

She called out softly.

Warmth bled through the coolness of the man’s eyes, the corners crinkling like fine threads wrapping around her. He bent down and gently helped Qiao Xi to her feet.

A sense of grievance suddenly surged up within Qiao Xi.

In front of others, she was the competent Young Madam Huo, but in Huo Xingzhou’s presence, she could always be that pure and gentle little girl.

"Why are you here? Your visit is so sudden," Qiao Xi’s voice was hoarse, eyes filled with a build-up of moisture.

Huo Xingzhou condescended with grace, squatting down to fit her high heel back onto her urgently twisted ankle, then looked up at her lightly and said, "I wanted to see just how beautiful you are in the Cinderella outfit. Everyone else has seen it, but I have not. I would have regretted it..."

Qiao Xi’s throat constricted, "It’s all dirty."

The crystal shoe of Cinderella almost fell off, luckily he arrived just in time.

Huo Xingzhou gently brushed off the dust that had accumulated on the hem of her dress, saying, "It’s very beautiful, just as beautiful as I imagined."

Admiration filled his gaze.

Qiao Xi’s eyes were red, but she couldn’t help laughing.

"Wait here for me for a moment," Huo Xingzhou said indifferently.

Qiao Xi obediently nodded; she couldn’t walk around with her sprained ankle. Sun Weimeng, perceptive as always, sycophantically carried over a chair from the Guan Family for Qiao Xi and said, "Sit."

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him.

Sun Weimeng smiled fawningly, "Am I not thoughtful?"

The corner of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curved slightly as he strode towards that wrecked sports car.

Sun Weimeng gently patted Qiao Xi’s shoulder and said, "Just sit and watch. Knowing Huo Er, someone is definitely going to suffer. Look, even Old Chen is going over there; that’s a man who can kill a pig with a single punch."

Let’s see which pig’s head will get smashed!

Sun Weimeng smacked his lips, still lacking some seeds and snacks for watching the drama.

He gestured and called over a young maid from the Guan Family, giving her a couple of orders. Before long, an array of court pastries made by the Guan Family’s royal chef was arrayed before him.

"Eat."

He generously shared them with Qiao Xi.

Unable to refuse his kindness, Qiao Xi ate while watching Huo Xingzhou.

The guests craned their necks to watch the commotion.

The Lu Family followed and came out too.

They saw Huo Xingzhou walk up to the sports car while Old Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside.

Old Chen, abandoning his usual simple appearance, raised his leg and gave a heavy kick to the car door.

The door shook.

Lu Yan, who was slumped over the steering wheel, slowly raised his head, his vision gradually clearing. His palms were sweaty and he felt nauseous, as if he might vomit.

He might have a slight concussion.

Xiang Ze, in the passenger seat, was more seriously injured, having fainted away, with blood still on him. But judging by the injuries, he wouldn’t die anytime soon.

Lu Yan struggled to push open the driver’s door; he wanted to see which loser dared to mess with him!

In the entire Imperial Capital, nobody was crazier than him!

Before he could steady himself, he heard mocking laughter.

"Still alive, Lu Yan?"

Old Chen chuckled derisively, "Evil lingers for a thousand years, indeed hard to kill."

"You..."

As Lu Yan spoke, there was a taste of blood in his mouth.

His gaze landed on the man beside Old Chen. Seeing that familiar handsome face, Lu Yan’s heart sank with shock.

Huo Xingzhou!

Being a member of the Lu Family, he certainly understood the forces of Haicheng and had seen many reports about Huo Xingzhou.

How did he suddenly come to the Imperial Capital?

Huo Xingzhou’s expression was indifferent, his thin lips parted slightly as he spoke, "Committing violence on the street, Lu Yan has some skill."

Lu Yan stiffened his neck as he replied, "I had no such intentions."

He had only wanted to intimidate Qiao Xi, to make her terrified and begging pitifully. He hadn’t anticipated Huo Xingzhou stepping in halfway.

"The surveillance outside the Guan Family’s gate captured everything clearly, whether it was an attempted murder or an accident, that’s for the police to determine."

Lu Yan, angered by his provocation, sneered, "Hah, who in the Imperial Capital can handle me? You, from Haicheng, you’re going to use your power to pressure me? The mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake, Huo Xingzhou."

He was the young tyrant of the Imperial Capital; all the factions would give him face.

He stared at Huo Xingzhou, his tone challenging.

He didn’t believe that Huo Xingzhou could do anything to him tonight.

"I didn’t expect the Lu Family could cover the sky with one hand in the Imperial Capital. I heard Lu Yan is arrogant and always likes to solve problems with violence."

Lu Yan, having had an unpleasant evening, couldn’t maintain his composure.

"Huo Xingzhou, what do you want?"

Huo Xingzhou spoke indifferently, slowly lifting his eyelids to glance at him before saying, "Of course, to fight violence with violence."
