262 Voice Paper
Su Qian looked at Huo Qi’s cold face and gulped slightly. Although he was Su Qing’s brother, he wasn’t much older than her, let alone be comparable to Huo Qi!
The courage of a newborn calf could only support him for a short period of time. After all, Huo Qi was still a powerful overlord. The power in his hands, the ability, and aura he had were very real.
Su Qian was indeed very smart in some aspects, but once it was related to someone close to him, his intelligence seemed to have disappeared! He cared about his sister, Su Qing, whom he had worked hard to get along with, which was why he hated Huo Qi so much.
Before hearing Huo Feng’s words, Su Qian felt that Huo Qi was using his methods and power to force his sister. However, on careful thought, it seemed a little wrong! With Qingqing’s personality, no one could force her to do anything she didn’t like and wasn’t willing to do! Also, there was Qingqing’s abnormal reaction and response to Huo Qi.
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant. No one spoke anymore. Su Qing looked at Huo Qi’s upright figure and frowned, as though she could feel him suppressing his anger.
At this moment, the waiter in the restaurant happened to be bringing a dish over. He looked at the tense and cold atmosphere and hesitated, not daring to go forward.
When Su Qing saw him, she gestured for him to come over. “Please come and serve the food.” The waiter felt as though he seemed to have been given a token of immunity for a short while, and he quickly put down his food and left.
Su Qing looked at Huo Qi, who was standing motionless and quietly stewing inside. She thought for a moment and said softly, “Are you done eating? Let’s talk.”
As Su Qing spoke, she stood up and left her seat. When Su Qian saw that his sister was leaving with Huo Qi, he naturally disagreed. He subconsciously raised his hand and held Su Qing’s wrist. Before he could speak, Su Qing said coldly, “We’ll talk about your matter later. Let go.”
Su Qian was stunned by Su Qing’s coldness and let go. He watched as Huo Qi left behind Su Qing and suppressed his displeasure, but he still chose to stay where he was. His sister seemed to be in a bad mood.
When Zhang Ke saw Huo Qi’s men leave, he moved his feet and leaned towards Su Qian. He sighed after surviving a calamity and said softly, “Why are you fighting Huo Qi head-on? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll shoot us? If you don’t want to live, I don’t want to die yet! I think Sister and Huo Qi are quite good. Why do you have to interfere?”
“Good? What’s good about that? I don’t like this old man pestering my sister!” Su Qian raised his voice and said to Zhang Ke.
Wu Mu sat inside and retracted her gaze. She looked at Zhang Ke beside her and said with a complicated expression, “Don’t worry! With Qingqing around, Mr. Huo won’t do anything to Senior Su Qian!”
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Su Qian steadily. “When Qingqing’s mission ended yesterday, Mr. Huo was the one who sent her home. Could it be that you happened to bump into her?” She tapped Su Qian lightly with her finger. “So, the reason why you and Qingqing had a conflict this morning was because of Mr. Huo! Is that right?”
It had to be said that Wu Mu was quite sharp. It was not unreasonable for the Wu family to be known as a family of capable police officers!
Looking at Su Qian’s guessed expression, Wu Mu frowned in confusion and asked, “Why do you dislike Mr. Huo so much, Senior Su Qian? Qingqing didn’t even say anything!”
This was not the first time someone had expressed their confusion to Su Qian. Su Qing had never expressed her thoughts about Su Qing and Huo Qi, but as her brothers, they had been jumping around, not giving anyone any peace.
Su Qian glanced at Wu Mu silently and didn’t refute her. From Su Qing’s perspective, Wu Mu really didn’t say anything wrong.
“Actually, on careful thought, I can understand your concerns and worries about Qingqing, but Qingqing…”
Wu Mu looked at Su Qian’s silent expression and thought for a moment, feeling that it was understandable.
Wu Mu thought about Su Qing, who had never bothered to explain anything, and tried her best to assure Su Qian. “Qingqing isn’t an ordinary person. Perhaps it’s not appropriate to put those ordinary worldly principles on her! You don’t know what kind of life Qingqing used to live. It’s already very difficult for her to have her current stable and peaceful life!”
