The second floor was very quiet. It was completely different from the situation downstairs.
In the corridor, the maid who had led Huo Yao to her room was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. She must have been killed ten minutes ago.
"She was killed with a single shot." Zhuo Yun could tell how the maid had died right away.
Huo Yulin clenched his fists. His face was terrifyingly dark. He could not imagine what had happened to his little sister.
That was because he had experienced a kidnapping before. That kind of despair was something that he could not forget even in death.
"Yaoyao isn't as weak as we thought," said Min Yu calmly. He seemed to have noticed Huo Yulin's worry.
"I know," said Huo Yulin softly.
He knew that his little sister did not want to appear so harmless. She had just pretended not to know.
Before long, the three of them split up to search for Huo Yao on the second floor. However, there was no trace of her in every room or hiding spot.
There were no signs of a fight at all.
The three of them met up again a few minutes later.
Huo Yulin's patience finally snapped. He took out his phone and made a call. "Seal all the exits of the Earl's residence. Don't let anyone out."
After giving his orders, he went downstairs with a murderous aura around him.
"Yu, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen." Zhuo Yun looked at Huo Yulin's murderous figure. He weighed the pros and cons before he asked. "Should we stop Young Master Huo?"
The Earl's residence was different from the wealthy families. Although they had no conflict of interest, they had power.
Since ancient times, commoners had never fought with officials. If a conflict broke out in front of so many influential families, ministers, and officials, it would be a slap to the royal family's face. The consequences...
Min Yu sneered. He did not seem as murderous as Huo Yulin, but his eyes were cold. "Since Murray dares to do such a thing, he will have to bear the full brunt of our anger."
Min Yu walked downstairs with a flick of his sleeves.
Zhuo Yun could not help pressing his forehead when he saw that his boss had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he looked like he was about to hand Min Yu a knife.
He knew it would be like this!
Zhuo Yun sighed. He took out his phone and called the deputy captain.
Fortunately, he was prepared. So be it. The royal family would not do anything to the Arms Bureau anyway.
Downstairs.
After Huo Yulin's call, a dozen murderous subordinates filed in through the main entrance. They looked more intimidating than an army.
The hall, which was originally a little chaotic, immediately became silent because of the sudden appearance of these people. They looked in the direction of the door in horror.
Little Xie, who was walking at the front, strode up to Huo Yulin and nodded at him. "Young Master Lin."
The first to react was the Countess. She recognized the embroidery on the clothes of these people.
They were from the Huo family.
A sense of unease swept through the Countess's heart. She hadn't expected the Huo family to disregard the situation and barge in like this. However, she was of high status after all, so she quickly calmed herself down and walked towards Huo Yulin with a cold and stern expression.
"Young Master Huo, what do you mean?"
Demanded the countess sharply.
"Where is she?" Huo Yulin looked at the countess expressionlessly.
"Who is it?" The Countess's heart skipped a beat. She pretended not to understand. "This is the Earl's residence. As a guest, Young Master Huo, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to openly allow your subordinates in, is it?"
