Chapter 39 - An Unpeaceful Day

Chapter 39 An Unpeaceful Day

The servants rushed in when they heard the commotion. When they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn’t help but cover their mouths and exclaim.

The scene in front of him was too terrifying!

Huo Ci’s bed was filled with sparrows with their stomachs cut open. Their blood soaked Huo Ci’s bedsheets, and some of it had even flowed along the bedsheets to the ground, emitting a strong stench that made everyone unable to breathe.

“Master! Are you okay?!” The servants scrambled to pull Huo Ci out of the heavy blanket.

The Huo family’s morning was chaotic.

First, Huo Ci’s bed was filled with sparrows. Then in Jiang Li’s room, her wedding photo with Huo Ci was covered in blood.

It felt like an ominous sign, but also like some kind of warning.

Huo Ci sat on the sofa with a dark expression. Jiang Li was feeling uneasy, these people could easily enter her bedroom without being noticed. Of course, they could also do other things without being noticed. The reason why they didn’t do it was to give the Huo family a warning

“Have you found out what happened?” Huo Ci looked at the butler. He had taken many showers, but the stench still followed him everywhere. If he still couldn’t catch the culprit, the Huo family and him would become a joke in a few days.

“I didn’t find anything,” the butler whispered carefully, afraid that the furious Huo Ci would do something extreme again.

“You didn’t find anything? You are useless! Do you mean that no one saw anything that happened to my family?”

The butler did not dare to make a sound. He lowered his head and stood silent.

Jiang Li also said worriedly, “That’s right, Old Huo. We must investigate carefully. This time, it’s this. Who knows what it will be next time?”

“Hurry up and investigate!”

On the other end of the room, a bodyguard rushed over with an exquisite box.

“Master! The Yun family has sent a gift!”

Huo Ru asked, “Who from the Yun family sent it over? Did they leave any message?”

“No, Master. It was sent by a butler. He said it was a gift from Third Master Yun.” “Third Master Yun?” Huo Ci asked in disbelief. “Are you sure it’s from Third Master Yun?”

“Yes, he also left this behind.” The bodyguard handed over the Yun family’s badge.

Curious, Huo Ci opened the box. Inside was a bloody sparrow that was gently placed on a red velvet cloth.

“Ah!!!” Jiang Li was caught off guard and couldn’t help but scream. Huo Ci’s hand trembled and he almost dropped the box.

“What does the Yun family mean by this?” Huo Ru said angrily. “Although our Huo family is not comparable to them, we can’t let them humiliate us!”

The phone rang at the right moment. Huo Ci took the phone from the butler.

“Mr. Huo must have already received a gift from the Yun family. This is just a warning. If you attack Mrs. Yun again, the outcome won’t be so simple.” The person on the call was the Yun family’s butler. Huo Ru had never seen Third Master Yun before and he had always been the one to convey any messages.

Huo Ci, who had been extremely angry just now, was speechless. He smiled apologetically and said, “Third Master Yun must be joking. Xiao Ru is my child, how could I bear to hurt her?”

“That’s great. After all, the Third Master likes his future wife very much.”

The phone was hung up, and the line went dead.

The chaos in the morning was like a game. Like a deflated balloon, Huo Ci waved at the servants dejectedly, indicating for them to leave.

Jiang Li asked worriedly, “The Yun family is like this, but Huo Ru refuses to marry. What should we do?”

“What should we do? What else can we do?! It’s all your fault for letting her go! It’ll be difficult to find her again in the future! The Yun family’s wedding date is coming soon. What should we do then?! If it really doesn’t work out, let Huo Yun take over. It’s better to offend the Zhou family than the Yun family!” Huo Ru said angrily and left with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Li sat on the sofa with a dark expression.

“Mom! What did Dad say? What should we do about that bitch Huo Ru?” Huo Yun hurriedly opened the door and asked when she saw her father leave.

“What else can we do? If we can’t catch Huo Ru, you can only marry into the Yun family on her behalf!”

“I’m not marrying him! I heard that Third Master Yun is a pervert with a crippled body. Will I still be alive if I marry him?” Huo Yun shook her head desperately to deny this fate.

“What else can we do? We can’t catch Huo Ru now…”

Huo Yun ignored her mother and rushed out.
