Chapter 183 A Storm Of Public Opinion
Huo Yunqi looked at Huo Yunxi with relief and said slowly, “You don’t believe in your affairs, how can I believe it?”
Hearing Huo Yunqi’s words, Huo Yunxi felt a little relieved. However, the next day, the headlines of the major news all reported on this matter. All sides had hidden responsibilities that Xia Luobing was the murderer. For a time, Xia Luobing had become the center of the storm, and the relationship between her and Huo Yunqi had attracted everyone’s attention.
“Good, very good!” Huo Yunqi’s eyes tightened and his pursed lips were like two thin knives, ready to kill the person he hated at any time in the most tragic way.
Ye Shaochen, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but shiver. Whenever Huo Yunqi showed such an expression, it meant that someone was unlucky.
“Yunqi, have you ever looked for Luo Bing? What did she say about this?” Ye Shaochen said, “As long as you stand up and hold a press conference together, you should be able to clarify the matter.”
Huo Yunqi silently pursed her lips and said, “She left with Feng Shuo, but she never contacted me.”
Moreover, they also took Guoguo away.
He did not call to ask about this matter because he did not want Luo Bing to misunderstand his trust in her, and because he was worried that he would hear answers that he did not want to hear.
Xia Luobing had lost her memory. She wasn’t sure if she would choose Feng Shuo or him at this time.
What if it wasn’t him?
Ye Shaochen stared at Huo Yunqi strangely. After pondering for a moment, he asked uncertainly, “You guys didn’t even get a phone call after such a big thing happened, did you?”
Seeing Huo Yunqi’s silence, Ye Shaochen knew that he had guessed correctly. He immediately had a black line on his face and helplessly said, “If you don’t call, she will think that you don’t believe her.”
Huo Yunqi was really firmly placed on Xia Luobing. Who would have thought that Huo Yunqi, who had always been decisive on the sofa in the marketplace, would be so hesitant when facing Xia Luobing!
“I know.”
Huo Yunqi got up and went to the bedroom in the office to make a phone call to Xia Luobing. Wo’er’s face turned ashen as she said coldly, “Nobody answered the phone.”
“What’s going on?” Ye Shaochen asked doubtfully.
Huo Yunqi threw his phone on the table and placed both of his hands on the mahogany desk. His body emitted a strong anger, “Check out Feng Shuo’s recent movements!”
He didn’t believe that Feng Shuo had nothing to do with this matter!
Ye Shaochen replied with a solemn expression, “Alright, I’ll investigate immediately.”
“Dong dong!”
Hearing the knock on the door, Huo Yunqi glanced at Ye Shaochen and said indifferently, “Come in.”
“Brother, it’s me.”
Huo Yunxi pushed the door open with red eyes. Seeing Ye Shaochen was also there, his nose was sour and tears almost fell out of his eyes.
“What happened?” Seeing Huo Yunxi like this, Ye Shaochen hurriedly went over and held her in his arms, “Did you just come back from the hospital?”
Huo Yunxi sniffed and nodded, “Mom hasn’t woken up yet.”
“We’ve already hired the best doctor. Mom will definitely wake up.” Ye Shaochen patted Huo Yunxi’s back and comforted, “Why are you here?”
Under normal circumstances, Huo Yunxi rarely came to the company, so he couldn’t just want to cry this time, could he?
Huo Yunxi remembered his purpose of coming here and quickly sniffed as he came out of Ye Shaochen’s arms to look at Huo Yunqi. “I was taking care of my mother in the hospital when I suddenly remembered something very important!”
She sat in the ward and guarded Liu Yan. She recalled the scene with her mother over and over again and suddenly remembered something.
“What is it?” Huo Yunqi frowned and took out a napkin and handed it to Huo Yunxi. “Stop crying and wipe your nose.”
Ye Shaochen took the napkin and affectionately wiped Huo Yunxi’s nose. “Tell me, no matter what, there are always the two of us!” He spoiled Huo Yunxi.
Huo Yunxi nodded, “It has something to do with the injury to his sister-in-law last time.”
Hearing this, Huo Yunqi’s expression changed as he watched Huo Yunxi wait for his next words.
The late autumn weather was already a little cold, but Huo Yunxi’s words instantly caused the temperature in the office to drop by more than ten degrees. Huo Yunqi’s gaze was so cold that it could almost freeze a person into ice.
“Big brother, that’s all.” Huo Yunxi told Huo Yunqi everything that she had overheard Jiang Yun say, and she no longer dared to look into Huo Yunqi’s eyes.
Because she didn’t want the relationship between her mother and her big brother to break down, Huo Yunxi had been hiding this matter. This time, Liu Yan was unconscious and Xia Luobing was missing. She didn’t dare to continue hiding it anymore, so she quickly ran over.
“Don’t blame Yun Xi like this.” Ye Shaochen hugged Huo Yunxi to prevent Huo Yunqi from scaring his wife again and said unhappily, “She didn’t do it on purpose.”
Huo Yunxi lay in Ye Shaochen’s arms and sobbed, sad as if he was going to die.
If she had said it earlier, wouldn’t things have turned out so badly?
“Take her back first.” Huo Yunqi said in a deep voice and pressed the inside line on his desk. “Bai Yu, come in immediately.”
“Big brother …”
Huo Yunxi looked at Huo Yunqi with tears in his eyes. Ye Shaochen patted her back and stopped her arm to comfort her, “Let’s go, let’s go back first.”
Right now, Huo Yunqi needed some time to calm down. If the results of the investigation showed that his mother really wanted to harm Xia Luobing, what should he do?
The car drove smoothly on the road. Huo Yunxi looked pitifully at Ye Shaochen, “Big brother, are you angry?”
Ye Shaochen held Huo Yunxi’s hand and comforted, “It has nothing to do with you. His posture needs some time to buffer, okay?”
Huo Yunxi nodded, but her tears still fell uncontrollably. She was so sad that she seemed to be about to die. If she told her big brother more, wouldn’t things be so bad?
“I will help him.”
After Ye Shaochen took Huo Yunxi away, Bai Yu quickly arrived at Huo Yunqi’s office. Seeing the president’s serious expression, Bai Yu worried, “Did something happen to the president?”
“Help me investigate who Feng Shuo has seen recently and what he has done. Trust me!”
“Alright.” Bai Yu nodded after a moment of silence.
He also knew about the Huo Clan. Although he didn’t know what the truth was, it wasn’t good enough.
Moreover, he was a member of the Huo Clan after all
Bai Yu silently pursed his lips. He remembered Huo Yunqi’s instructions and turned around to leave. Huo Yunqi was the only person left in the empty office. He stood at the window and looked at the ant-like people in the square downstairs. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.
“Luo Bing.”
Bai Yu’s efficiency was very fast. He wrote down a list of Feng Shuo’s recent activities and sent it to Huo Yunqi’s desk.
“Indeed.” Huo Yunqi’s gaze stopped at the time and place where Feng Shuo and Xia Luoxin met a week ago. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he instructed, “All the newspapers that appeared in the teahouse on the day of the acquisition.”
How could there be no problem with so many reporters appearing in the teahouse by coincidence?
“President Huo, we can buy those newspapers, but what about after the acquisition? What should we do?” Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked, “QC does not manage this piece of media.”
It would be too inappropriate for a businessman to buy just for the sake of buying.
Huo Yunqi placed his finger on the table and knocked on it. His rhythmic voice suddenly stopped and he said, “From now on, you have it. Find someone suitable to deal with this place.”
Since the power of public opinion was so strong, it was better to hold these newspapers in his hands.
Bai Yu nodded, “Alright, I know.”
QC’s aggressive takeover of newspapers set off a new wave in A City, but this time the media were all silent, partly because they had already been taken over and refused to blame their boss, and partly because they had learned from the examples of those people from before.
“Yunqi, we found Feng Shuo’s hiding place.” Ye Shaochen excitedly ran into the office and sent a report to Huo Yunqi’s desk. “What do you want to do next?”
In the past few days, Huo Yunqi hadn’t mentioned looking for Xia Luobing, but Ye Shaochen, who had been with him for so long, knew that the more he endured it, the more destructive it would be when it exploded. Of course, it was obviously Feng Shuo who was destroyed.
Huo Yunqi looked at the information Ye Shaochen put on the table and said indifferently, “Prepare to buy Feng Shuo’s company.”
Ye Shaochen’s eyes widened and his mouth opened as he said dryly, “Did you just say that you want to buy Feng Shuo’s company?” The office instantly quieted down. After a while, Ye Shaochen opened his eyes wide and said dryly, “Are you talking about buying Feng Shuo’s company?”
Huo Yunqi said “yes”, proving that Ye Shaochen had not heard wrongly.
Ye Shaochen was unable to be as calm as Huo Yunqi. His lips trembled a few times and he said with difficulty, “QC’s strength is not enough to buy his company. It is risky for us to do so.”
Although QC’s development momentum has been good in recent years, it is simply a fool’s dream to purchase Feng Shuo’s company just after arriving in City A.
Not to mention the fact that the current Feng Corporation had been improved from the extrusion of the Huo Corporation. Its foundation in City A was very deep, and it could not be easily crushed.
“What if I say I have to buy it?” Huo Yunqi looked at Ye Shaochen and said, “What do you think?”
You must be out of your mind!
This was what Ye Shaochen thought in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it directly.
“Go prepare. Investigate all the cooperation cases that Feng Shuo has done in the years since we left. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to be clear and detailed, right?” Huo Yunqi said indifferently.
Ye Shaochen nodded, “It’s not difficult, but what do you want this for? Is it related to your acquisition of Feng Shuo’s company?”
“Of course.”
Huo Yunqi stopped holding the mouse, and a strong cold aura flashed across his brows. His fruitful days of peace were truly over.
Ye Shaochen was frightened by the chill on Huo Yunqi’s body, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Feng Shuo. He was originally a brother, but now he was in an endless situation.
Feng Shuo really shouldn’t have offended Huo Yunqi, and he had offended Huo Yunqi so deeply!
In the villa, Feng Shuo sat in the living room and looked at Xia Luobing who was glaring at him on the sofa opposite him. “Bing Bing, you didn’t treat me like this before. You relied on me and liked to smile at me.”
“I know.” Xia Luobing said coldly. Seeing Feng Shuo’s happy expression, she sneered, “I also know that you abandoned me, Leng, and used me!”
She really didn’t understand why such a shameless person would have the face to mention the love he had for her back then.
Just how outstanding did he feel that she had to be him?
These days, Feng Shuo was accustomed to Xia Luobing’s mockery. He wasn’t angry at all when he heard her say such words. He still smiled and said, “Bing Bing, I will make up for you.”
