Chapter 188: Tricked and Beaten Again

Seeing Huo Jinzhou lose his temper, Li Yunlan, worried that the noise might alert Old Master Huo, could only cover her swollen cheek and leave first, intending to go back and deal with Xiao Lan.

Yun Mu had enjoyed the spectacle of dogs biting each other and was about to return to her room for a good night's sleep when she saw Huo Tingying walking towards the flower house.

"What are you doing?"

Huo Jinzhou, hearing the movement, turned around and saw Huo Tingying walking in, staring at him coldly.

Yun Mu followed closely behind.

Huo Tingying placed his hand on Yun Mu's shoulder and gently pushed her out. "This scene is not suitable for young ladies. Wait outside."

Yun Mu paused, curled her lips, and obediently waited outside.

Then, Huo Tingying went straight up and punched Huo Jinzhou in the face.

The punch was swift and heavy.

With full force.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact remained that this guy had initially planned to take advantage of Yun Mu.

Right here in the Huo residence, right under his nose!

He dared to do it!

Huo Jinzhou, already under the influence of the hypnotic incense, had no time to react. He grunted, took a few steps back, and felt a sharp pain in his mouth and nose. Wiping with his thumb, he saw blood gushing out.

Just then, the butler happened to be patrolling nearby, saw this scene, and drew a cold breath. He quickly instructed the security guards around not to approach.

Without waiting for Huo Jinzhou to recover, Huo Tingying landed another punch.

Right on the chin.

Huo Jinzhou couldn't dodge it and felt his jaw go numb, his teeth aching as if his entire jaw had been dislocated.

"Are you serious?" Huo Jinzhou took a breath, raised his hand to protect his head, and dodged. "What's your intention? One tricks me, and the other chases me to beat me!"

"I warned you. Since words don't work, I'll have to teach you a lesson by force!"

Huo Tingying's fierce attacks left Huo Jinzhou no chance to dodge. Every punch landed squarely, and finally, he pinned Huo Jinzhou to the ground and pummeled him relentlessly.

Yun Mu stood at the door of the flower house, watching the spectacle with interest.

Even without the hypnotic incense, Huo Jinzhou was no match for Huo Tingying, let alone now.

Huo Jinzhou probably never expected that Huo Tingying, who had always been sitting in a wheelchair, pretending to be sick, was actually so strong and agile.

But this scumbag deserved a beating, even though he did reveal some information about Yun Shuiyao and even considered working with her instead of harming her.

But just because he still wanted to play both sides and collaborate with both her and Yun Shuiyao, he deserved every bit of the beating!

At that moment, a servant noticed the commotion and hurried over. "What are you doing? Young Master, Second Young Master... Madam!"

The old butler immediately stopped the servant from informing Li Yunlan and whispered something to him.

The servant's expression changed, looked away, and eventually left as if nothing had happened. The butler was Old Master's man, and given the current situation where the First Young Master clearly held power, it was best for them not to get involved.

Seeing Huo Jinzhou covered in blood and unable to fight back, Yun Mu feared that things might get worse. After all, this was the Huo family's ancestral home, and if the beating got too severe, it would be hard to explain to Old Master.

She stepped in and softly called out, "Tingying, it's enough..."

Huo Tingying, having vented most of his anger, reluctantly stopped, grabbed Huo Jinzhou by the collar, and spat out coldly from his throat.

"If there's a next time, I'll take your life!"

With a hard shove, Huo Jinzhou crashed into the flower rack, which collapsed, burying him in a mess.

Yun Mu approached and handed him a handkerchief. Huo Tingying took it, wiped his hands, and then pulled Yun Mu's hand, bringing her onto his lap.

Yun Mu wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling brightly. "Husband, you looked so cool when you were beating him!"

Huo Tingying narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on her. "Flattery won't work on me. Have I not told you to stay away from Huo Jinzhou?"

"You have, but he said he knew information about Yun Shuiyao and END, so I met him..."

"You believe him? And why specifically in the flower house?"

"I knew he wouldn't tell me easily; there must be a scheme. But I really want to know about END, and I also had backup plans." Yun Mu explained.

Yun Mu couldn't possibly be interested in Huo Jinzhou, that fool.

He had guessed that the only thing that could attract Yun Mu was information about END.

The relationship between Yun Mu and END was definitely not simple.

The man's eyes flickered with a dark glint.

"So what did he tell you?"

Yun Mu didn't hide anything and said, "Yun Shuiyao ordered the organization to make a move against Grandpa. According to END's efficiency, it should happen within the next couple of days."

Huo Tingying's eyes flashed with a cold intensity.

Only if Old Master Yun never wakes up will the truth about the fire five years ago remain buried forever.

It seems that Yun Shuiyao is determined not to let this go.

After a moment, he reined in the coldness in his eyes, raised his hand to rub her hair gently, and said in a chilly tone, "Leave your grandfather's safety to me. I promise no one will get close to him. The people from END have been watching you; stay at home for now and don't make me worry about you."

Yun Mu understood Huo Tingying's concern, but she still shook her head.

"No, this time I must personally watch over Grandfather."

"Do you think I don't have the ability to protect your grandfather?" Huo Tingying frowned.

Yun Mu, "Of course not! I just feel that because I fainted five years ago, Grandfather became a vegetable, and I was blamed as the culprit. So this time, I want to make up for that regret."

Yun Mu's excuses came easily, but Huo Tingying clearly didn't believe her.

This little woman has always been distant and indifferent to the Yun family. How could she possibly feel regret and guilt over what happened five years ago?

Her real intention is probably to get closer to the people from the END organization, right?

A hint of anger flashed through Huo Tingying's mind, but he ultimately said nothing more, only instructing her to be careful.

At that moment, in the master bedroom on the second floor.

Huo Jinzhou's face was bruised and swollen, with bandages on his broken nose, and his entire body ached.

His mood was even worse!

After a while, he grabbed a vase in a fit of rage and smashed it.

Then he yelled at the doctor who was treating him, "Get out!"

Just then, Yun Shuiyao, wearing a nightgown, crossed her arms and walked in with a smug look.

"What a temper! Are you trying to get Old Master to come and see the show?"

Huo Jinzhou's face twisted with fury, and he sneered.

Perfect, he wanted to find her too!
