Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 286 I had no choice in the matter at the time...

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if he wanted to etch the images on the screen into his mind.

When the waiter came in to help Liu Shiyin change her clothes, Gu Heng subconsciously turned away, unwilling to witness this embarrassing scene.

However, Huo Muchen's eyes were fixed intently on the screen. He saw Li Yong taking a selfie with Liu Shiyin in his arms, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter until the knuckles even turned white.

As the video progresses, footage of Li Yong running away in a hurry appears, followed by a scene of Liu Shiyin burying her face in her hands and crying.

At that moment, Huo Muchen felt as if his heart had been torn apart, and he was in excruciating pain.

Huo Muchen suddenly stood up with a "whoosh," grabbed his car keys, and walked out the door without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Gu Heng immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. He knew that if he did not follow Huo Muchen, unpredictable consequences might occur. He quickly followed behind Huo Muchen, preparing to go together.

The two quickly walked out of the room. Huo Muchen's steps were firm and powerful, each step seemingly carrying the force of a thunderbolt.

In the car, Huo Muchen didn't speak, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented rage.

Gu Heng knew that Huo Muchen had to seek justice for Liu Shiyin this time and make Li Yong pay the price he deserved, but his biggest worry was Xiao You.

The car sped along the highway, the lights on both sides of the road flashing past the windows, leaving blurry streaks of light and shadow.

Huo Muchen gripped the steering wheel tightly, driving at breakneck speed. Traffic cameras along the way flashed red lights incessantly, as if warning them of their urgency and anger.

Gu Heng sat in the passenger seat, his heart pounding with anxiety. He picked up his phone; Li Qingyou's contact information was displayed on the screen. His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, producing a crisp sound.

He made up an excuse to have Li Qingyou go to a department store that was far away to buy him some food, hoping to use this as an excuse to keep her away from the impending storm.

Shortly after the message was sent, my phone vibrated; it was a message from Li Qingyou:

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but his worries did not lessen in the slightest. He knew that a storm was coming, and all he could do was try his best to protect the people he cherished.

"Gu Heng, you're here. Xiao You has gone out."

Li Yong saw Gu Heng greeting him warmly, but he didn't notice Huo Muchen, who was staring at him like a hungry wolf behind Gu Heng.

He slowly took a step forward, each step feeling like it was pressing on Li Yong's heart, giving him an unprecedented sense of pressure.

"Mr. Huo,"

Seeing Huo Muchen's furious expression, Li Yong guessed that he must have looked at the USB drive.

"I had no choice at the time..."

Before Li Yong could finish speaking, Huo Muchen suddenly threw a punch, striking Li Yong heavily in the face. Li Yong screamed, falling backward, hitting the wall and sliding to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Huo Muchen didn't stop. He rushed at Li Yong again and kicked him in the stomach. Li Yong groaned in pain, his body convulsing involuntarily.

Every punch and kick from Huo Muchen was filled with anger and power; he wanted to vent all his pain and rage on the person who had hurt his woman.

Gu Heng stood aside, silently observing everything. His heart was filled with complex emotions; he felt both disappointment and anger at Li Yong's actions, and fear that seeing Li Qingyou in this state would sadden her.

Seeing Li Yong lying on the ground, barely alive, Huo Muchen still showed no sign of stopping. Gu Heng quickly stepped forward and hugged Huo Muchen tightly from behind.

"Alright, Mu Chen, now that the truth is out, let him off the hook for Xiao You's sake,"

Li Yong's face was covered in blood and bruises, and his eyes were devoid of any color or life. Huo Muchen looked at him without a trace of pity or sympathy, only disdain and indifference.
