Even though Huo Yunshen was in pain, he was not going to give up. He quickly ordered everyone that came with him to start a search and rescue operation.
Helian Qingyu also called Jun Yan and had him send warships to where they were.
Rain began to fall, and it swept the fire away.
Soaked from the rain, Huo Yunshen kneeled by the edge of the canyon. The pain he felt was as if his heart was bleeding.
He alone could understand the agony he was in.
If he had known that something like that would happen, he would’ve never suggested a plan as such.
Huo Yunshen stayed by the canyon as the search teams were looking for Jing Xi. If Helian Qingyu had not reminded Huo Yunshen that he still had two children waiting for him, he would’ve jumped after Jing Xi.
“She might be still alive,” Helian Qingyu comforted. “Didn’t you say that she once jumped out of a plane and still survived?”
But it was different, and Huo Yunshen knew it. When Jing Xi had jumped out from the plane in the past, there was no wind nor tides.
The pain was not the only thing Huo Yunshen felt. He was also furious. And the one responsible for everything was Lady White Tea.
He stood up and grabbed Helian Qingyu by his collar.
“It’s all your mother’s fault!” Huo Yunshen scolded. “It’s all her! She’s the one who killed my wife!”
Huo Yunshen then pushed Helian Qingyu away and went straight for Yun Xuerou.
Yun Xuerou had already woken up and was shaking from cold. Huo Yunshen approached her and threw a punch at her face.
As a man who had never hit a woman once, he could not hold himself back anymore.
The woman before Huo Yunshen was not a woman to him. She was a monster.
“Yun Xuerou! If Jing Xi dies then it’s on you!” Huo Yunshen yelled. “You are going to pay with your life!”
He then proceeded to kick Yun Xuerou and cause her to spit blood from her mouth.
“Wait… Don’t kill me,” Yun Xuerou pleaded as she knew she was about to be showered with punches. “I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you where Jing Xi’s brother is…”
It was her last card. She was hoping to use it to save her own skin.
“Speak!”
Yun Xuerou raised her head and looked at Helian Qingyu.
“It’s him… It’s Qingyu…”
“What? You’re saying that Jing Xi’s twin brother is Qingyu?”
Huo Yunshen couldn’t help but turn to look at Helian Qingyu. Even Helian Qingyu was in shock upon hearing the truth.
“What did you just say? I was never your son? I’m Jing Xi’s twin brother?” Helian Qingyu asked.
Yun Xuerou lowered her head, signaling that it was the truth.
Helain Qingyu knew about Jing Ruyue’s son, who had been separated from her, and knew that Jing Xi was looking for her twin brother, but even in his wildest dream, he had never thought that the boy was him.
That explained why Jing Xi had given him a sense of familiarity when he first met her.
