Chapter 457: Unintentional Help

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Xiuyuan originally wanted to sneak back today, but he didn’t expect Huo Hong to be so vigilant.

“Young Master Huo, please don’t make things difficult for us.” The guard in front of him was expressionless.

Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that his face tensed up. “Difficult? You still know that I’m Young Master Huo!”

He irritably reached out to push the guard away, but the other party’s body, which was far stronger than his, dispelled his thoughts of forcing his way in. “Move aside!” Huo Xiuyuan shouted.

If he couldn’t even enter the house, how could he interfere with Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao’s matters?

Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth. At the thought that Huo Yichen might be discussing the marriage with Murong Qiao in the living room or even starting to discuss where the wedding would be held, he was burning with anxiety.

No matter what the price was, he couldn’t let Huo Yichen have his way with this marriage today. Otherwise, he would be completely sentenced to death.

However, the guard repeated stubbornly, “Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

The orders they received today naturally included that Huo Xiuyuan was not allowed to come in and cause trouble. However, the guards didn’t expect to encounter him, and they felt bitter.

“If you don’t want to lose this job, move aside.” Huo Xiuyuan’s face turned cold, and his patience gradually depleted.

The two sides were in a deadlock at the door, making Huo Yichen unable to move.

As time pa.s.sed, Huo Xiuyuan’s emotions were about to explode.

“You—”

“What’s going on?” The butler’s voice suddenly sounded.

The guard hurriedly turned around and saw the butler appear behind him. As if he had seen his savior, he hurriedly explained the situation.

“Mr. Butler, Young Master Huo insists on going in…”

In front of Huo Xiuyuan, the guard didn’t add fuel to the fire and described the entire matter.

As the butler listened, he kept looking around for Huo Yichen.

He was naturally not pa.s.sing by or appeared here because of a coincidence.

When he realized that there was no movement on Huo Yichen’s side for a long time, even after exceeding the time limit of the plan, the butler realized that there was a change in the plan.

He took the risk of letting the two people in the surveillance room continue searching. Then, he followed the escape route he had agreed with Huo Yichen to confirm the problem. Only then did he arrive at the side door and confront Huo Xiuyuan, who was not supposed to be here.

“It’s good that you’re here. I want to see Father.” Huo Xiuyuan snorted. “There’s a problem with the project.”

Talking to the butler was better than an impersonal guard. Huo Xiuyuan immediately looked at the butler, wanting him to bring him in.

As long as the butler brought him in, he could naturally do whatever he wanted.

The butler glanced at Huo Xiuyuan and actually observed the number of people present. Only then did he understand what the problem was.

After the guard reported the situation, the butler was silent for a long time before slowly making a decision.

“The two of you, bring Young Master Huo to his room first.” He chose the two strongest among the four of them.

With the butler taking the risk, the guards seemed to have found their backbone and naturally listened.

Although it was different from what he had expected, the butler could at least let him in. Naturally, Huo Xiuyuan could only leave with a dark expression.

The butler stayed where he was and looked at the remaining two people.

“Go and investigate the surroundings and see if Young Master Huo has brought anyone back. Report the situation immediately.”

Huo Xiuyuan’s sudden appearance naturally made sense for the butler’s worry.

When the remaining two people saw that Huo Xiuyuan had finally left, they heaved a sigh of relief and agreed. The two of them left in one direction without looking back.

With a few words from the butler, the four of them were sent away. Then, he met Huo Yichen’s gaze and bowed slightly to make way.

“Be careful. I need to return to the front hall,” the butler said softly.

If he didn’t go back soon, Huo Hong would probably become suspicious when he noticed something wrong.

Huo Yichen only nodded in response. Then, the two of them brushed past each other at an extremely fast speed without any hesitation.

After pa.s.sing through the side door, Huo Yichen’s path could be said to be unimpeded.

He quickly climbed over many obstacles and arrived outside through the shortest route possible. Then, he immediately saw the car the butler mentioned.

He took a deep breath and took out his phone. He finally had time to send a message to Murong Qiao.

[Ok.]

If Huo Xiuyuan found out that his actions had helped Huo Yichen escape, he would probably die of anger.

At the same time, the butler also walked quickly to the main door and pretended to have just returned. He knocked on the door and only walked in after receiving permission..
