Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 34 Suspicions Towards Huo Yanting

"You know I don't like outsiders entering my private quarters. Where your woman is, I don't care, but on my turf—if you dare trespass—you know the consequences." Huo Yanting stopped wasting words and delivered a direct warning.

Huo Qinglin's expression darkened, his features taut as he struggled to maintain his composure: "Brother, don't tell me you're also eyeing the pear garden deed in her hands?"

"Only the incompetent rely on others' strength to curry favor," Huo Yanting retorted bluntly, sparing no regard for niceties.

Huo Qinglin's face stiffened again, and he snapped, "Brother, how can you hold me in such low regard? Even if my abilities don't match yours, you shouldn't belittle my efforts like this."

"Your so-called efforts are just tying yourself to a foolish woman. Just because she's gone missing, look at you panicking... that's the extent of your capability." Huo Yanting's words grew harsher, like relentless slaps striking Huo Qinglin's dignity again and again.

"I suspect my girlfriend is upstairs in your house. I have to go up and look!" Huo Qinglin's stance turned resolute.

"Take one step up those stairs, and just see what happens," Huo Yanting narrowed his cold eyes, his tone turning sharp and fierce.

Huo Qinglin genuinely seemed ready to storm upstairs.

But Huo Yanting's overwhelming aura of intimidation made him hesitate to act recklessly.

"Brother, I was just joking with you. Don't get angry, alright? I'm simply anxious. Since you said she's not here, then she's definitely not here. I trust every single word you say, Brother. I won't disturb you further." Huo Qinglin finally backed down, saying something to smooth things over before turning and quickly walking away.

Huo Yanting's eyes narrowed slightly as he walked to the front hall and locked the door tightly. Then, he ascended the stairs once more.

In the bedroom, the girl was sleeping soundly, her posture endearing. She lay sprawled on the blanket, drowsy and dazed in her slumber.

"You've made him anxious!" Huo Yanting sat by the bedside, his gaze fixed intensely on the sleeping Lin Banxia, cold laughter escaping his lips.

"This act—performed quite well. I'm very satisfied." As he uttered the word "satisfied," Huo Yanting's shadowed eyes drifted toward the woman's fair, exposed skin. Noticing the bruises and marks he had left, a smirk tugged at his thin lips again.

Huo Qinglin returned to his family's living room in utter defeat, venting his fury on the objects on the table with a fit of rage.

"Damn you, Huo Yanting. If you dare lay a finger on my woman... I won't let you off."

Huo Qinglin was almost certain that, nine times out of ten, Lin Banxia was indeed being hidden by Huo Yanting upstairs. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

She had been drugged, and the effects were severe. He feared...

"Damn it!" Huo Qinglin furiously kicked the table a few more times, his face dark and stormy.

More than ten minutes later, Huo Anya rushed back, panting for breath as she said, "Brother, I've searched everywhere at Grandma's place too. I still haven't found her. Do you think... Lin Banxia might have already died somewhere?"

"I doubt it!" Huo Qinglin sneered coldly.

"Brother, what do you mean? Wait, did you find her? Is she at Huo Yanting's house?" Huo Anya's eyes widened in shock.

"I just went to see Huo Yanting. He wouldn't let me search upstairs. If Lin Banxia isn't in any other corner of the estate, then... she must be upstairs with Huo Yanting."

"Oh my God... what do we do? If Lin Banxia and Huo Yanting..." Huo Anya didn't finish her sentence but gestured with her fingers pointing together, her face turning deathly pale.

"This is all your idiotic doing! I only asked you to teach her a lesson—who told you to drug her? How did I end up with a pig-brained sister like you?" Huo Qinglin, enraged, directed all his anger at Huo Anya.

Huo Anya's eyes reddened with grievance. She started sobbing, "Brother, I'm sorry! I didn't expect things to go off track either. I just wanted to find two men to ruin her reputation and relieve my hatred. Besides, once some other men ruined her, you'd still be willing to take her in. She'd trust you even more and definitely hand the deed over to you... Who would've thought..." Huo Anya sniffled miserably.
