Even the nightingale cannot escape

Chapter 494 Doubt

Finally, Yu Qingli met Huo Yixiu, but she was still a little bit in disbelief.

During this period, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to meet Huo Yixiu to ask him about Yu Qingrao's whereabouts.

But every time she came, the answer she got was that Huo Yixiu was busy. How could she not know in her heart that he was clearly avoiding her?

The more Huo Yixiu acted like this, the more suspicious she became.

Fortunately, this time she finally got to see the other person.

"You should know why I want to see you." Yu Qingli said straight to the point.

"I'm really not sure. Is it because of Qingrao?" Huo Yixiu asked back.

"Where is she? Did you do something to her?" Yu Qingli asked directly, "I tell you, this is imprisonment, which is illegal."

"Sister, why do you think so? Why would I imprison Qingrao? We are an engaged couple." Huo Yixiu looked innocent and whispered, "Qingrao really doesn't want to see anyone from the Yu family now. She has been angry that you have been trying to cancel our engagement."

"She is indeed being willful, but don't worry, I will persuade her properly when the time comes and will never let her continue to be willful. I also understand your concerns about not wanting us to be together. I will definitely treat her well. In a few days, I will bring her back home to visit and admit her mistake."

Yu Qingli found Huo Yixiu's sincerity funny and asked directly, "Don't pretend. If Qingrao just stopped seeing us family members, I wouldn't be so worried. She has stopped updating on all her social media platforms, and her other friends have disappeared. She has even stopped sending messages on her shopping platforms. This is not her nature."

"She has completely cut off ties with the outside world now. You tell me that she is just being willful, do you think I will believe it?" Yu Qingli sneered.

Before Huo Yixiu could say anything, he said directly: "Let me tell you, although our Yu family is not as powerful as your Huo family, if you dare to hurt my sister, we will make you pay the price even if we sacrifice the entire Yu family."

"You two sisters have a good relationship." Huo Yixiu suddenly exclaimed.

"Of course. Do you think everyone is like your Huo family? Brothers fighting over the family property like enemies? I watched Qingrao grow up. Although she is a little willful now, I will never allow anyone to hurt her." The look in Yu Qingli's eyes became colder and colder.

Then he said, "Do you really think I don't know? The person you like has never been Qingrao. The person you like is Shen Chuan. If that's the case, there's no need for you to be with Qingrao. She can't provide you with any help at all."

At this point, Yu Qingli's tone softened, even pleading: "As long as you are willing to let my sister go, I promise that our Yu family will not embarrass you, and my sister will never tell anyone even if she knows something."

"What does your sister know? What do you think your sister knows?" Huo Yixiu asked with a smile.

Yu Qingli was stumped by the question. After hesitating for a while, she tentatively asked, "For example, you kidnapped Shen Chuan?"

"You said I kidnapped Shen Chuan? Do you have any evidence? The police have already announced that the kidnapper is dead. What does this have to do with me? You are slandering me." Huo Yixiu said directly. "I just know it, just like you said, there is no evidence, so what are you worried about? Even if my sister saw something, she will never tell anyone because of her feelings for you." Yu Qingli continued.

At this moment, panic flashed through her heart. Although she had been in the business world for so many years, she thought she had seen many big scenes.

But when facing Huo Yixiu, he couldn't help feeling a little panic.

After all, what the other party did was not that simple, and even the illegal and disorderly things involved criminal law.

She was really afraid that if she angered the other party, he would hurt Yu Qingrao.

"You really misunderstood. How could I be so powerful? I didn't imprison your sister. Sister, have you read any novels recently? Your imagination is so wild." Huo Yixiu chuckled and said, "How about this, if you don't believe me, I will accompany Qingrao back to Yu's house in a few days. Then you will know that nothing really happened to her."

"If nothing really happened to her, then ask her to call me now, or you call her yourself." Yu Qingli said insistently.

"There's nothing I can do if she doesn't want to communicate with you now. I can't force her to call you, and she should be taking a nap at this time, so I can't disturb her." Huo Yixiu refused.

"In the final analysis, you just imprisoned Qingrao and are afraid of being exposed by me." Yu Qingli sneered, the worry in his heart becoming more and more obvious.

"I am a law-abiding citizen. How could I do such a thing? If you really believe that I am the one who imprisoned Qing Rao and kidnapped Shen Chuan, then you should call the police and let them make the final decision." Huo Yixiu said helplessly, "But if that is the case, our two families will become a laughing stock in Beijing."

"Don't think that I won't dare call the police just because of what you said. For the sake of my sister, what does it matter if I become a joke?" Yu Qingli retorted.

"Then go ahead, sister." Huo Yixiu spread out her palms and continued, "But if that's the case, Qingrao and I were planning to go to Yu's house in a few days. If Qingrao knew about this, I'm afraid she would blame you even more."

"Are you sure you will go back to the Yu family with Qingrao in a few days?" Yu Qingli asked again, still feeling uneasy.

"This is something Qingrao and I have discussed a long time ago, and it's definitely confirmed. But if my sister calls the police, I'm really worried that Qingrao will blame you for this."

Listening to Huo Yixiu's words, Yu Qingli fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at the other person again, then said, "Okay, then I'll wait a few more days. If I don't see my sister at Yu's house within five days, don't blame me for calling the police. Anyway, no matter what the cost, I must see my sister safe and sound."

"Okay." Huo Yixiu agreed directly, and said in the face of the other party's suspicious look: "Don't worry, sister, I will go back with Qingrao when the time comes, and it's a good opportunity to talk about the marriage between our two families."

Speaking of this, Yu Qingli sneered and said, "We really need to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement. Your Huo family is wealthy and powerful, there is no need for us to marry into a family of higher status." Then he left without looking back.
