Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016 - A Terrifying Calmness

By the time Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan got home…

Xu Xi greeted them. “Third Master, Ms. Ling, Ms. Nangong has already left. She said she has something to take care of. She asked Ms. Sheng Sheng to go home early after dinner.”

Ling Sheng felt a little strange. Hadn’t she said she had something to tell them? Why did she leave? “Did my mom say what it was?”

Xu Xi said honestly, “No.”

Jun Shiyan also found it a little strange. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case. His mother-in-law did things differently from his father-in-law. She definitely wouldn’t do something like standing others up.

…

Huo Ci took a nine-hour flight. When he reached the capital, it was four in the morning. When he reached the Gu residence’s gate, it was five in the morning.

It was early spring weather, and the sky had just brightened a little. It was drizzling again, and there weren’t even old people doing morning exercises. The high-end residential area was strangely quiet. One could only hear a few dog barks occasionally.

Zuo Ming sat in the driver’s seat and looked at the man behind him, who had been maintaining the same expression and position for an entire hour and a half. In the end, he still could not help but ask, “Sixth Master, do you want me to go down and knock on the door?”

Huo Ci shot him a cold look, his tone so calm that it was a little weird and frightening. “No need.”

He would just wait right here for him to come out. If he alerted him, how could he still kill him?!

Zuo Ming nodded. He didn’t know how the Third Master had offended their Sixth Master again. He had never seen the Sixth Master look so scary. The air in the car was so thin that it was difficult to breathe.

Everyone thought that Sixth Master would become hot-headed when he was angry. That was because they had not really witnessed how the Sixth Master looked when he was angry. When the Sixth Master got furious, he was only a little angry. No one could truly anger him.

When he was really angry, he became calm. He was very calm, so calm that it was as though he was another person. However, it was extremely frightening. It was the terrifying kind of calmness and oppression before a storm. A person was the scariest when he wasn’t sad, happy, or angry.

Huo Ci looked at Zuo Ming. “Bring me that iron rod in the trunk.”

“Yes.” Zuo Ming’s heart skipped a beat. Could the Sixth Master be serious? Was he here to kill the Third Master?

If he wasn’t truly angry, he would definitely have knocked on the door and gone up to punish him personally. He wouldn’t be waiting here calmly. Exactly what had the Third Master done to make him so angry?

Jun Shiyan had a meeting in the morning. When he went out, it was seven in the morning. The moment the car left the gate, he heard a loud bang. He subconsciously dodged, only to see that the car window had already shattered. The immense force had even caused the car door to change shape.

An Yan, who was driving, was so startled that he turned around to look and saw Huo Ci through the shattered glass. The latter’s handsome face looked ferocious and frightening; he was also bearing a murderous air. He hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

Jun Shiyan’s eyes darkened. Within a short moment, he had already guessed what was going on. Upon seeing that Huo Ci was about to land the second time, he hurriedly opened the car door. “Father-in-law, please calm down.”

Huo Ci’s lips curled up coldly. The moment he reached out to open the car door, he grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground. Then, he stepped on him and looked down at him. “Let me ask you something. Are you Xiaoqi’s biological father?”

“Yes.” Jun Shiyan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at him and said, “However, I don’t know what’s going on either. Father-in-law, please give me some time. I’ll investigate this thoroughly.”

Huo Ci’s voice was very cold as he enunciated each word clearly. “It’s good so long as you admit it!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sixth Master!”

“Third Master!”

After Zuo Ming and An Yan shouted out loud nervously, they saw Huo Ci pick up the iron rod in his hand like he had gone mad and slam it toward Jun Shiyan.

However, Jun Shiyan didn’t wait for the rod to fall. He reached out to grab the iron rod and stood up slowly. His imposing aura surged, and his narrow eyes were as deep as a cold lake. “I told you, I still don’t know what’s going on for the time being either. Father-in-law, you should calm down!”

Huo Ci had not expected him to dare to dodge. After doing something like that, he still dared to quibble. He was so angry that he laughed instead. He pulled the rod out hard, his eyes red as he bellowed, “You don’t know what happened? Then, where did Ling Xiaoqi come from? Where did he come from?”

At this point in time, this scumbag Third Master Jun still dared to deny it. If she hadn’t accidentally seen the DNA test, how long more would he have kept it from them?!

Nangong Lengyu had initially thought that even if Huo Ci beat Jun Shiyan to death, she would not stop him. However, she still couldn’t bear to do so in the end. After all, he was a child she had watched grow up too. Although she had said that she did not care, how could she truly not care?

Huo Ci’s nasty temper would definitely cause big trouble. After what Ah Yan had done, he definitely wouldn’t retaliate either and would let him vent his anger. She wouldn’t want to see someone dying too.

She had not slept the whole night and was just sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Huo Ci. When it was almost daybreak, she took a nap. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sky was already bright but Huo Ci still hadn’t arrived yet. She knew that something was wrong, so she went directly to the Gu residence.

When she got out of the car, she saw Huo Ci and Jun Shiyan having a stand-off at the gate. She rushed over hurriedly. “Let’s talk nicely. Put down your weapon.”

Looking toward her, Jun Shiyan said firmly and resoundingly, “Mother-in-law, I’ll give the both of you an explanation for this matter.”

And here he was wondering why she had left before he and Sheng Sheng had returned yesterday. It turned out that she had seen the paternity test report in the study. He didn’t have the habit of hiding things in his own house. Otherwise, the matter wouldn’t have been exposed before he had figured it out.

Upon hearing his words, Nangong Lengyu only sneered. An explanation? How was he going to explain this?

“Who are you calling mother-in-law?” Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. He withdrew the iron rod and threw it on the ground. Then, he pulled Nangong Lengyu to his side while suppressing the urge to kill someone. In a very calm voice, he warned him, “Jun Shiyan, don’t look for Ling Sheng again. From now on, our family has nothing to do with you.”

“Sister Yu.” Jun Shiyan looked in her direction. “Do you know when Sheng Sheng’s accident happened? It was on the day of my mother’s death anniversary. I was in France. I can’t be the person in Sheng Sheng’s memory. I’ve been investigating this matter all along.”

Nangong Lengyu’s expression was very cold, and her voice was also so chilly that there was no emotion in it. “She told you everything already?”

That incident was a thorn in her daughter’s heart. She wanted to ask, but she didn’t dare. She didn’t know the exact time, nor did that neighbor’s grandma know exactly which day it was either. The people in town had also roughly deduced when she got pregnant based on the time she had given birth.

However, her daughter told him about this?

“What do you want to say?” Huo Ci let out a cold snort. “You want to clear your name and say that Ling Sheng’s pregnancy and her giving birth to Xiaoqi has nothing to do with you?”
