Chapter 294

lost all color. The blue veins on his temples tightened and bulged due to the intense emotions. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he turned and got into the car.Lu Guanta's car, sent to chase after...Her cell phone was left at Huo's residence, probably because they couldn't find her. They found Ji Lin instead.

Ji Lin stared at the incoming call display for a moment, then let out a sneer. "He came looking for trouble himself," he said. "Today I'll show him what it means to be scolded so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"

However, as soon as he picked up the phone, a cold male voice came from the other end: "Open the door."

Ji Lin: "..."

He took a deep breath, glanced at Fu Yan's knee, hung up the phone silently, and then walked to the entrance hall and opened the door.

A tall and imposing man stood at the door, his eyebrows as dark as ink. Though his appearance was suave and refined, a coldness radiated from him that kept people away. Ji Lin glanced at him impassively, then without warning, he threw a punch!

"Ji Lin!"

Fu Yan immediately realized what had happened. Ignoring the pain in her knee, she ran as fast as she could, but it was too late.

Ji Lin's fist, thrown out with all his might, was intercepted by Cao Fang mid-air.

Cao Fang secretly exerted himself, saying with a calm face: "Second Young Master Ji, it would be a pity if your hand were to be crippled."

"Cao Fang, let him go!" Fu Yan limped quickly towards Ji Lin, her anxiety evident.

Ho Mingzheng's gaze dropped, and Ji Lin was just applying ointment to Qiu Fuyao's knee. Her pants leg was rolled up to her knee but hadn't been put down yet, revealing the shocking bruises on both knees for all to see.

Even Cao Fang and Cao Yuan, such stalwart and resolute men, couldn't help but draw a sharp breath of surprise at this sight.

"Cao Fang, let go of Ji Lin's hand!" Fu Yan called out again.

Ho Mingzheng's eyes trembled slightly, his cold and stern facial features tightened, "Let him go," he said word by word.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Fang also released his hand.

However, to everyone's astonishment, Ji Lin suddenly moved swiftly, throwing a punch at Huo Mingzheng. The blow landed squarely on Huo Mingzheng's left cheek with a resounding "bang." The sound of the flesh meeting flesh sent chills down everyone's spines.

He pulled on Huo Mingzheng's collar with all his might, his movements swift and decisive, all within a span of just two seconds.

Cao Fang and Cao Yuan instinctively wanted to intervene. As long as one of them acted, they could easily subdue Ji Lin. Ji Lin's skills were only outstanding in a professional setting; he wasn't their brothers' match when it came to actual martial arts.

"Everyone, stay put," Huo Mingzheng said as he waved them back.

Ji Lin's fingers clenched tightly, knuckles turning white, gritting his teeth: " Huo Mingzheng, Fu Yan's feelings for you are not for you to abuse. You will regret this one day, especially..."

He couldn't say any more. The child, with the rouge on her face, had to stay behind. That meant she couldn't be discovered by the Huo family.

Both were about the same height, but Huo Mingzheng was a little taller. He lowered his gaze, his expression unchanged, and said coldly, "Are you done"

Ji Lin suddenly pushed him away. Huo Mingzheng stood firm as a mountain, his feet unmoving.

Ho Mingzheng slowly adjusted his collar with his left hand, his eyes calm and composed. He lightly touched the corner of his mouth that had been broken, a faint metallic taste spreading in his mouth.

"Whether or not I regret it is my own business, but if you dare to be rude to me again, I'll make you regret it immediately."

Ji Lin's hands were too important to him, and he never thought that one day his hands would no longer be able to participate in fencing competitions.

"Did President Huo come here just to threaten us" Fu Yan pulled Ji Lin aside. "Or does he still feel yesterday's punishment wasn't enough, so he came to arrest me himself"

Seeing her protectively guarding Ji Lin like a mother hen, Huo Mingzheng's lips curled into a mocking smile. He said in a low voice, "You still can't break the habit of sticking your nose into other people's business. Eight hours of kneeling hasn't cured you."

Fu Yan's nostrils tightened, and she replied with a calm dignity: "I fight for the people I care about because it's my own will."

"Mr. Huo came to find me, did the Du family prepare to sue me"

"Hello, Fu Hanlin stood up for you, Huo Yuanshi pleaded with your grandfather on your behalf, and even your good brother fought for you. Now who dares to touch you"

Ji Lin couldn't stand Huo Mingzheng's tea ceremony, "It wasn't chosen by Fu Yan, it was your Huo family who twisted the facts!"our relationship later. Right now, I'll take you home first."......Late at night, a black Bentley stopped in the green strip beneath the apartment building.A handsome and tall man stepped out of the c...
