Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Public Enemy of the World

Huo Tian gritted her teeth and said, “Huo You, you knew that He Yu’s plan would implicate Uncle and Mom, that they might get injured or even lose their lives! But you didn’t try to stop him. That’s why you felt guilty, right?”

Huo You didn’t know if it was her imagination, but when Huo Tian got close, she felt like she could smell blood coming from Huo Tian’s body. Her cold expression was very different from any time she had seen before…

Huo You couldn’t help but feel fearful. Her face turned pale as she tried to step back with her hands on the ground.

However, Huo Tian grabbed onto her hair tightly. Huo Tian’s other hand clenched into a fist, but in the end, she only shrugged off her grip on Huo You…

Huo You fell to the ground uncontrollably again, but she didn’t suffer any further harm.

Huo Tian suppressed the anger that was rising in her heart and said in a low voice, “Huo You, you’ve always felt that I owed you for the past 18 years, but I’m telling you clearly that I’ve already paid the Huo Family 20 million yuan. The grudge between the Huo Family, myself, and you has been cleared up. Now, you’re the one who owes my mother and our family now. He Yu has already paid the price for this. If you don’t want to end up like him, be smart and stay away from me, my mother, and my uncle. Do you understand?”

With that, Huo Tian ignored Huo You, who was lying on the ground, as if she had seen something dirty. She turned around, grabbed Si Huan’s hand, and strode forward.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to have realized something and turned to look at Si Huan. “I don’t even know the way, why did you let me walk in front of you?”

Si Huan saw that Huo Tian was still looking furious and knew that He Yu and Huo You had truly angered her. The anger in Huo Tian’s heart wouldn’t be easily resolved. After almost killing He Yu, Huo Tian had no choice but to let Huo You off for the time being. This made her feel frustrated.

Si Huan held Huo Tian’s hand and said, “I know you hate what He Yu and Huo You have done, but we can’t ignore the law as they do…”

When Si Huan realized that Huo Tian was glaring at him again, he quickly said, “The police are already intensifying the investigations on the kidnappers they caught at your house. I will provide the police with more help to find evidence of He Yu colluding with the kidnappers and let him suffer the punishment of the law.”

Huo Tian knew that what Si Huan said was the right way of handling things, but she still couldn’t help but feel depressed. She was like a child who hadn’t had her wish fulfilled by her parents, deliberately shaking Si Huan’s hand that was holding hers in anger, but she didn’t use any strength…

Si Huan looked at the unhappy Huo Tian and let out a long sigh. He gently stroked the loose hair on Huo Tian’s temples…

“Huo Tian, you’re like those superheroes in movies. The power you have is the intelligence in your mind that far exceeds this era. When a hero has the right to privately punish criminals, they will gradually walk to the opposite sides of ordinary people. The attitude people have for these heroes will change from the initial respect and admiration to being followers, and then doubt. They’ll eventually then unite to oppose the heroes together…”

Looking at Huo Tian’s thoughtful expression, Si Huan continued, “If you don’t want to be the public enemy of the world, you have to take the initiative to restrain your power. It’s only right that you can’t challenge the bottom line of the law. The punishment for the bad guys should be handed over to the law. You just have to continue doing the things you like…”

Huo Tian nodded, looking straight into Si Huan’s worried eyes, and assured him, “I understand your painstaking efforts. I’ve been restricted by the way I think in the past. In the future, I’ll work hard to control my emotions. I definitely won’t let something like this happen again.”

“No, there’s another special situation where you don’t have to suppress your strength.” Si Huan chuckled and rubbed Huo Tian’s head. Then, his expression became solemn again. “When you encounter danger, you can cast away all your principles. You just need to use all means to protect your safety.”

Huo Tian was also infected by Si Huan’s solemn emotion that couldn’t help but nod.

Even after that, their gazes didn’t part. Huo Tian suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and her heart seemed to be beating faster.

Just as she was about to say something to ease the abnormal atmosphere, her phone rang.

Huo Tian still felt a little lingering fear when she heard Ding Rong’s voice. She couldn’t help but whine, “Mom…”

However, Ding Rong did not sense anything wrong with Huo Tian’s emotions on the other end of the line. She pretended to use a nonchalant tone to conceal her almost erupting anger. “Tiantian, it’s already 10 pm. Aren’t you done with the banquet? If Si Huan is busy, should Mom go and pick you up personally?”

Huo Tian was sensitive enough to sense that her mother was on the verge of getting angry. She quickly glanced at Si Huan, then said to Ding Rong on the other end of the phone, “Mom, Si Huan is preparing to bring me home. We’ll be home soon.”
