Xue Beilei placed a cup of water in front of Huo Chenhuan and sat opposite him like an old friend. She said calmly, “I thought you wouldn’t come looking for me again after Huo Qihan was captured.”

“On the contrary, I thought you hoped that I would come to you.”

Xue Beilei’s expression stiffened slightly. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Huo Chenhuan had no intention of beating around the bush with her. He went straight to the point. “Huo Qihan wanted to kidnap my child. Why did not you tell me in advance?”

“It’s not that I did not tell you in advance, but although Huo Qihan brought me along, he usually avoids me and doesn’t let me know about such things.”

Huo Chenhuan’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You’re lying.”

“I’m not lying.” Xue Beilei was not afraid of Huo Chenhuan at all. Her smile was sarcastic and empty. “When Huo Qihan contacted that woman, he was indeed avoiding me. Perhaps in his eyes, I’m just dependent on him. If not for the fact that I showed him deep affection when he was deserted by everyone and satisfied his chauvinistic vanity, he would have gotten rid of me long ago.

“But no matter how careful he was, I still overheard him.”

When Xue Beilei said this, her eyes stared at Huo Chenhuan openly. She was calm and numb.

It was as if she did not care if Huo Chenhuan would be angry when he heard this, or if he would take revenge on her after this.

Huo Chenhuan’s eyes turned slightly cold. He had long understood Xue Beilei’s true motive.

“You want me to kill Huo Qihan for you.”

“I’m the one who let you and your wife down, but I don’t regret it.”

Xue Beilei was originally a spy that Huo Chenhuan had planted beside Huo Qihan. She helped Huo Chenhuan keep an eye on the Huo family’s every move and also stirred up trouble to make Huo Qihan betray his family.

However, this time, Xue Beilei had clearly received news that Huo Qihan had colluded with the servants of the old residence to steal Huo Chenhuan’s child. However, he had remained silent from beginning to end.

“You already knew where Huo Qihan was hiding. You teased him like a cat playing with a mouse, making him see hope and fall deeper into despair. But this is far from enough for me.”

Xue Beilei took a deep breath. “If this hadn’t happened and he’d been caught, what would have happened?”

At most, he would be locked up for the rest of his life, but Xue Beilei wanted Huo Qihan dead.

She knew that Huo Chenhuan’s wife and children were his sore spot. As long as they were affected, Huo Qihan would have no reason to continue living.

Back then, Huo Qihan had caused her family to be destroyed and owed their family three lives. Now, if she only took his life, Xue Beilei felt that she had suffered a loss.

Huo Chenhuan looked at her and frowned slightly. As if sensing something, he said, “Do you want to die?”

She knew that doing so would offend him, but if Xue Beilei really wanted to withdraw from this matter, she should have left after Huo Qihan was arrested. The further she went, the better.

Instead of staying in this place and waiting for him to come to her.

The only explanation was that she had never wanted to live in the first place. Revenge was the only thing keeping her alive.

The only thing she wanted to do now was to see him pay for all the things he had done. After that, she would find her loved ones in this familiar place.

Huo Chenhuan was silent for a long time before he suddenly stood up. “The results of Huo Qihan’s case will be out within a month.”

Xue Beilei was stunned and smiled. “Really? That’s great.”

Huo Chenhuan glanced at her and turned to walk out. However, the moment he stepped out of the door, he whispered, “Leave this place. Find a place where no one knows you and start over.”
