Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 990: Fu Yun: I’m Going to Sell Her

Shortly after the assistant left, Huo Yaozong was brought in to see Pei Ya.

Pei Ya leaned against the desk, arms crossed, with eyebrows raised slightly: "What do you want with me?"

Huo Yaozong, without beating around the bush and with a mysterious look, asked: "Before I tell you, let me ask, you have a good relationship with Qiao Yun, right?"

Pei Ya narrowed his eyes, his gaze instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

This cautious demeanor reassured Huo Yaozong a lot. It seemed that Pei Ya really cared about Qiao Yun; his move was indeed not misplayed.

Pei Ya spoke with a hostile tone: "Why are you asking this?"

Huo Yaozong stopped probing and directly stated his purpose: "Do you know she has disappeared?"

Pei Ya remained silent, his eyes growing more terrifying, like a dagger, wishing to shred the person in front of him to pieces.

Huo Yaozong felt a bit uneasy under that gaze, couldn’t help but step back a few steps, "Don’t you know?"

Pei Ya still didn’t speak.

However, the more silent he appeared, the more certain Huo Yaozong felt: "I know where she is."

"Where is she?" Pei Ya’s face looked gloomy, yet secretly he praised himself for his acting skills; he was a professional after all.

Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to Huo Yaozong.

Now that Huo Yaozong came to him willingly, he suspected that Huo Yaozong might be playing a role in the whole matter.

He didn’t mind playing along with Huo Yaozong.

Huo Yaozong was unaware that he had been seen through, truly believed that Pei Ya trusted him, and was overly self-satisfied, thinking he had deceived everyone.

He didn’t beat around the bush and directly said: "I heard Fu Yun had her taken away, she is surely in Fu Yun’s hands now. The bad news is, Fu Yun has already left on a cruise ship, probably already embarked on the journey. The only one who can stop Fu Yun now is Huo Lin."

Huo Lin is still unaware of the big mess Fu Yun has gotten him into; if Pei Ya really goes to him, then there will be a good show to watch.

Pei Ya looked slightly anxious, seemingly calm as he asked him: "Why are you telling me this? What’s in it for you, or rather, what do you want to gain from me?"

Huo Yaozong didn’t suspect Pei Ya, he sighed and said: "Ah, after all, I was friends with your parents, and what Fu Yun did doesn’t benefit the Huo Family at all. I only hope you seek revenge properly and don’t misdirect your anger at the Huo Family. It’s Huo Lin and Fu Yun who acted on their own; many in the Huo Family are innocent."

Huo Yaozong’s words sounded pleasant, but Pei Ya didn’t believe even half a word.

Previously this person even sought his cooperation to bring down Huo Lin, now suddenly he changed his attitude wanting nothing.

Huo Yaozong’s intention isn’t hard to guess, probably aiming to take over Huo Corporation.

He had long inquired into it, Huo Lin was evidently still kept in the dark by Fu Yun, now Huo Yaozong even wants him to believe Huo Lin was involved in this affair.

A person will spare no means to achieve their goal.

Pei Ya now heavily suspected that Fu Yun could so suddenly concoct the plan to kidnap Qiao Yun, probably with Huo Yaozong’s contribution.

Pei Ya thought of much, his expression still unchanging. He spoke in a cold tone: "Are their deaths really related to them?"

He was referring to Huo Lin’s father and Fu Yun.

Huo Yaozong paused, then sighed deeply: "I’ve told you before, but you didn’t believe me."

Huo Yaozong previously lied to Pei Ya claiming his parents’ deaths were related to Huo Lin’s parents, he indeed was lying.

Little did he know, his lie turned out to be the truth.

Pei Ya naturally wasn’t aware of Huo Yaozong’s nonsensical claims; now recalling it, indeed he did not believe Huo Yaozong’s words.

Unexpectedly, what Huo Yaozong said was true.

So does it imply that his parents’ deaths also involved Huo Yaozong? Even if Huo Yaozong didn’t act, he must have been involved.

In an instant, the way Pei Ya looked at Huo Yaozong was filled with a murderous intent.

Huo Yaozong: ???

Huo Yaozong was startled, almost believing his trick had been seen through, but then thought it impossible.

The whole matter was orchestrated by Fu Yun, at most he had merely suggested it without directly being involved.

With newfound confidence, Huo Yaozong declared righteously, "If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself."

Pei Ya suddenly laughed, speaking evenly, "Do you think I’m a fool now?"

Huo Yaozong’s smile froze on his face, not understanding the meaning behind his words, and laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, why would I, you’re so clever, who would dare treat you like a fool."

"Really?" Pei Ya slightly smiled, "Before you came to me, I received a message saying Qiao Yun was in her custody, asking me to meet her alone. The person you guessed is right, it’s Fu Yun. I planned to go alone, but now, I’ve changed my mind. Since you said her involvement is related to my parents’ death, you might as well be a witness."

Huo Yaozong was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like." Pei Ya couldn’t be bothered to explain and pressed a number.

Soon, several people entered the office.

Pei Ya lifted his jaw and commanded, "Take him away."

Huo Yaozong was shocked, "What are you doing?"

Pei Ya spoke harshly, "You’ll find out soon. Take him away."

"Yes."

The bodyguards stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yaozong’s shoulders.

Huo Yaozong, seething with anger, struggled intensely, "Let go! What are you doing! Let me go!"

The bodyguards completely disregarded Huo Yaozong, tightening their grip even more.

Huo Yaozong paled, his eyes filled with fear of the unknown.

He never expected Pei Ya to be so bold, daring to lay hands on him in broad daylight.

Being almost sixty, he didn’t have the physical strength of these bodyguards and couldn’t resist at all.

Huo Yaozong furiously accused Pei Ya, "Pei Ya! I kindly came to tip you off and this is how you treat me? You ungrateful wretch! I should have never bothered with you."

Pei Ya scoffed coldly, "Saying that, don’t you feel ashamed? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re really thinking."

Huo Yaozong’s accusatory words halted, his gaze flickering slightly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. Speak properly, don’t resort to violence. I am your elder after all, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?"

Pei Ya ignored Huo Yaozong, coldly stating, "Too noisy."

The next second.

The still-struggling Huo Yaozong was knocked out by the bodyguards.

Pei Ya looked at the unconscious Huo Yaozong, sneering sarcastically.

These Huo family members still think he is the old Pei Jiu, each rushing to their doom, he would not be polite anymore.

It’s time to settle things once for all.

...

On the other side.

Qiao Yun’s eyes swept over the fruit knife in Fu Yun’s hand, her expression as calm as ever.

Fu Yun’s face was twisted and manic, her gaze wandering over Qiao Yun’s face, seemingly considering where to start.

However, Qiao Yun’s demeanor somewhat brought her back to her senses, prompting her to ask, "Aren’t you afraid?"

Qiao Yun said, "You wouldn’t dare."

Fu Yun’s face slightly changed, feeling inexplicably looked down upon by Qiao Yun, annoyed she retorted, "How do you know what I dare?"

Qiao Yun said, "Pei Ya would be angry."

Fu Yun’s throat tightened, the hand holding the fruit knife trembled slightly, and her gaze towards Qiao Yun was filled with annoyance and anger, yet she hesitated to make a move.

She indeed didn’t dare to gamble.

Because Pei Ya cared about Qiao Yun.

She worried that if she hurt Qiao Yun, Pei Ya would hate her.

Although things weren’t much better now anyway.

Fu Yun discarded the knife in her hand and sat to one side with a gloomy look, her gaze voraciously fixed on Qiao Yun.

"I won’t do anything to you before Jiujiu arrives."

Qiao Yun didn’t take Fu Yun’s harsh words to heart at all; she scanned the entire room, her gaze pausing at a few spots before casually withdrawing it and sitting blankly in a chair, somewhat stunned.

The waiting time was long.

Fu Yun was able to sit calmly at first, but later she began to pace back and forth anxiously.

In between, she went out for dinner before coming back to continue watching Qiao Yun.

Just as she couldn’t help wanting to send another message to Pei Ya, the manager came over.

The manager didn’t look at Qiao Yun beside him but respectfully said to Fu Yun, "Madam, a yacht is requesting to approach, saying it’s here to find you."

Fu Yun abruptly stood up, her face twisting into a smile, "Let him come up."

"Yes."

After the manager left, about ten minutes later, Pei Ya was brought into the room.

Upon seeing Pei Ya, Fu Yun looked like she wanted to approach but didn’t dare to, and called out dazedly, "Jiujiu, you’re here."

Her face displayed a gentle smile, but the next second her expression turned frantic, "You actually came! Is she that important to you? Worth the risk! Do you care about her that much?"

Pei Ya’s eyes were cold and indifferent, "In any case, she’s more important than you."

These words made Fu Yun extremely uncomfortable, and she murmured, "Why don’t you understand, I’m doing this for your own good, you’re too naive, indeed it’s no good without elders around to guide you."

Pei Ya frowned slightly and stopped looking at Fu Yun, his gaze landing on Qiao Yun, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Yun said, "I’m fine."

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Pei Ya’s face.

Which was extremely irritating for Fu Yun to see.

Even though she was Pei Ya’s relative, Pei Ya treated her like a dangerous flood beast.

Pei Ya didn’t talk much with Qiao Yun; right now, the most important thing was to deal with Fu Yun first. Impatiently, he asked Fu Yun, "I’m here, what exactly do you want to do?"

Fu Yun composed herself and said, "I want you to come with me."

"What?" Pei Ya was somewhat astonished, "Just to come with you?"

"Yes." Fu Yun smiled foolishly, "Come with me, I will take good care of you, and from now on we’ll be a family."

Pei Ya revealed a hard-to-describe expression, "Are you insane?"

To make such a fuss, just to have him go with her.

But thinking about Fu Yun’s own mental illness, it didn’t seem so strange for her to have such thoughts.

Fu Yun, fearing that Pei Ya would not agree, threatened, "If you don’t come with me, I won’t let her go."

Pei Ya was silent for a moment, then scoffed, "You think I can resist you now?"

Fu Yun flicked her hair and smiled lightly, "You indeed can’t resist, and even if you don’t agree, I’ll take you away anyway."

She had already asked the bodyguards.

Pei Ya indeed came alone, so she was not at all afraid that Pei Ya would resist, now the entire cruise ship was under her control.

Pei Ya’s expression was cold: "So why say so much nonsense, I will go with you, but you must release her first."

Fu Yun’s expression looked awful as she glanced at Qiao Yun, briskly saying: "Fine, but first, put this on."

As she said that, she threw an electronic lock to Pei Ya and had him lock himself up.

Pei Ya frowned, but did not resist at all, and locked himself up adeptly.

Fu Yun’s expression turned even uglier.

Pei Ya was so obedient, she should be happy, but thinking that Pei Ya was doing this for Qiao Yun made her hate intensely.

And thinking about how she suffered because of Qiao Yun, how her reputation in their circle was ruined.

She laughed, slowly saying: "I’ve changed my mind, I won’t let her go."

Upon hearing this, Pei Ya’s gaze turned frosty: "Do you think you can get far? Two living people, disappearing just like that, how could no one come looking."

That’s why he thought Fu Yun was crazy.

To actually harbor such thoughts.

Fu Yun’s plan was flawed from the start.

Now that Pei Ya was in her grips, Fu Yun’s mind relaxed, she spoke softly and gently: "Silly child, even if someone comes looking, how could they suspect me? Besides, we will be leaving the country soon."

She opened her mobile, and showed several pictures to Pei Ya: "Do you like this place? I’ve specially chosen this uninhabited island for you, you can stay here peacefully until you realize your mistakes."

Pei Ya was quite puzzled: "What mistake have I made."

Fu Yun’s expression changed: "Your mistake is not recognizing me, your mistake lies in believing her words and opposing me for her!"

She said that while pointing at the innocent-faced Qiao Yun.

"So young and yet so wicked, she must learn a lesson, I’ve already decided, once I’ve settled you down, I’ll sell her off."

Pei Ya said angrily: "You dare!"

Fu Yun saw Pei Ya’s powerless resistance, and noticed Qiao Yun complying meekly to her will; her mood was unprecedentedly good.

She admired Pei Ya’s helpless rage for a while, then elegantly poured herself a cup of coffee, savoring it while laughing: "Alright, alright, don’t be angry, then I won’t sell her. I’ll just keep her at my side as a servant, to atone for her actions, how about that?"

Pei Ya’s expression was not good: "Madwoman."

Fu Yun took that as if Pei Ya was complimenting her.

Pei Ya scoffed: "Does Huo Lin know about this?"

A flash of guilt crossed Fu Yun’s face.

Pei Ya could tell immediately: "He really doesn’t know, I thought as much, if he knew he would have stopped you."

Fu Yun’s actions would only damage the interests of the Huo Family.

Fu Yun pursed her lips, a sense of guilt towards Huo Lin rose in her heart, but it was only for a moment before she dismissed it.

Instead, she said assertively: "I am his mother, no matter what I do, he has to help me."

Pei Ya felt that Huo Lin was quite unfortunate, having such a mother.

"What about my mother?" Pei Ya said hatefully: "Did she deserve to die? You’re her own sister, if not helping her is one thing, why did you harm her!"

Fu Yun held her coffee cup, her hand trembling slightly, a few droplets of hot liquid splashed onto her hand, yet she felt nothing.

Her pupils dilated slightly, "You, what are you talking about, spouting such nonsense!"

Pei Ya pronounced each word distinctly: "You are the murderer of my mother!"
