Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1143: The Sleeping Tiger

”Okay!” Li Na nodded, tidied the files on the desk, and took them to the CEO’s office.

Huo Junmo waited for Li Na to enter the office before he turned and left!

After leaving the Huo Tian Group, Huo Junmo went straight to the police station!

Since being brought into the police station, Ling’s father, Ling’s mother, their elder daughter, and younger daughter were locked in a temporary detention cell.

”Ling Yueyue, that brat, is truly a thankless child. We raised her for nothing; she even got her own parents locked up! She’ll face divine retribution one day!” Ling’s mother sat on the cold stone bed, hands on her hips, never ceasing her curses at Ling Yueyue from the moment they entered the cell.

Ling’s father stood against the wall, head down, looking at his feet, helplessly advising, ”Wife, let it go! Things have come to this point, we can’t blame Yueyue. It’s our own past actions that led to this. If we can get out, let’s just return to the countryside. We’re ordinary people, unable to stand against someone powerful like Huo Junmo! We were born to toil on the land and have no fate for luxury, so let’s not force it.”

”I suffer only because I married you. If you had been successful, our family wouldn’t be living in hardship! In the end, it’s because you’re useless. If I had a fortune like Ling Yueyue, marrying into wealth, would I have ended up like this? I was the village beauty back then, with so many admirers, why did I choose you, a spineless good-for-nothing!” Already angry, Ling’s mother vented all her grievances onto him upon hearing Ling’s father speak.

Thinking of her lifelong hard work and suffering, while Ling Yueyue easily married a wealthy man and lived a life of luxury, she felt even more resentful as she saw herself locked up with no benefit.

Humiliated and scolded by Ling’s mother, Ling’s father’s head hung lower, murmuring, ”It’s all old news, why bring it up! Besides, deep down we know how we treated Yueyue, so her actions are understandable! It’s all our own fault!”

”You...!” Seeing Ling’s father dare to argue, Ling’s mother stood up furiously, ready to charge at him, but stopped as a police officer came over and opened the cell door.

Upon hearing the lock being opened, Ling’s father quickly lifted his head, hopefully asking, ”Are we able to leave?”

”No, someone wants to see you.” The officer coldly replied, signaling to a colleague to take Ling’s father and mother out of the cell.

Seeing only themselves being taken out by the police, Ling’s father quickly asked anxiously, ”We’re leaving? What about our two daughters? They’re scared being here!”

The officer glanced at the two sisters curled up tightly in the corner, dismissively saying, ”They’re grown-ups, what’s there to be afraid of? When you were causing a scene outside President Huo’s house, weren’t you afraid? Now you fear? It’s too late!”

Hearing this, Ling’s father was shocked, fearing that the sisters might never be released, and hurriedly grabbed the officer’s hand, pleading, ”They’re just children, this has nothing to do with them. If someone must be locked up, let it be me alone, please release my wife and kids!”

”Enough, stop babbling and move! Don’t waste our time!” The officer, annoyed, ushered them out of the cell.

Ling’s mother, normally intimidated by threats, meekly followed the police without saying a word.

Watching their parents being taken away, the sisters clung to each other, trembling in fear.

After Ling’s father and mother left the cell, they were taken by the police to a windowless, enclosed room with four walls! The only furniture was a long table and four chairs, with a desk lamp on the table and nothing more.

Pressing Ling’s father and mother into two chairs, the police pushed them down firmly, and they sat heavily.

”Sit still, don’t move!” A police officer commanded coldly, standing guard with arms crossed.

Ling’s father and mother, seeing the officers like gatekeepers, nervously clutched their hands together on the table, as fear pounded in their hearts like a drum, akin to waiting for execution.

As their hearts nearly leaped out of their throats, the door opened again! Both quickly raised their heads towards the entrance!

In entered Huo Junmo, in a sharp suit, escorted by two police officers!

As Huo Junmo approached the chairs, one officer quickly ran ahead, pulled out a chair, gesturing politely, ”Please have a seat, President Huo!”

”Thank you!” Huo Junmo thanked gently and sat down.

Ling’s mother, terrified, clutched Ling’s father’s hand and fearfully asked Huo Junmo, ”Is it you who brought us here? What’s your plan? Are you secretly going to kill us? I’ll let you know, even if we were wrong, we are still your in-laws, you can’t treat us like this! If you kill us, you’ll face divine punishment, and Yueyue will never forgive you!”

She couldn’t be blamed for such thoughts, given the room’s lack of windows and the police’s pandering to Huo Junmo; should he harm them, they dared not speak out!

For the first time, she realized Huo Junmo’s true power! Only now did she understand that Huo Junmo isn’t as harmless as he appears!

Huo Junmo chuckled softly, reassuring gently, ”Don’t worry, this society values law, murder is illegal and punished legally! No matter how powerful I am, I won’t oppose the law!”

His words did nothing to ease Ling’s mother’s anxiety, only heightening it, ”Then why bring us here?”

To her, Huo Junmo resembled a dormant tiger, seemingly mild but inherently fiercer; she feared they might end up tragically under his claws!
