Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
As soon as Huo Zhongyuan entered Sui Sui's office, he saw Mr. Huo sitting on the sofa.
He paused, frowned, and spoke in a cold voice.
What are you doing here?
"Xiao Yuan!"
Huo Jiakai quickly stood up, his eyes filled with long-lost joy.
"I couldn't reach you by phone, so I had to come to Sui Sui's place to ask her to help me see you."
Seeing his son's cold expression, he quickly explained, "Don't blame Sui Sui, I told her not to tell you I was here."
"It's your fault, why should I blame Sui Sui!"
Huo Zhongyuan walked around him as he approached, went to Sui Sui's side, took her hand, and spoke softly.
"Sui Sui, is he bothering you?"
"No!"
Qin Suisui slowly shook her head, a smile in her eyes.
"Mr. Huo contacted me, saying he wanted to discuss something with you and hoped I could help him arrange a meeting with you. You hung up the phone too quickly just now."
Otherwise, she would have explained it on the phone.
"Alright, it's all my fault. Now come with me and listen to what Mr. Huo has to say?"
Is this appropriate?
Qin Suisui looked up at him.
"It's only natural that you sit next to me."
Huo Zhongyuan pulled Sui Sui toward the reception room.
Seeing that his son completely ignored him, Huo Jiakai felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed, and forced himself to follow him.
"Xiao Yuan!"
"Mr. Huo, just tell me directly, what exactly is your purpose in coming to Huating this time!"
Huo Zhongyuan didn't want to say anything more to him, so he interrupted him and asked directly.
"Me~"
Huo Jiakai glanced quickly at Qin Suisui across from him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his son's hand tightly holding hers.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that the Huo family of Beicheng was already a laughing stock in Beicheng, so he stopped worrying about anything else.
"Xiao Yuan, I don't know if you've heard recently, but our Huo family's stock has been scammed."
"I've heard of it!"
Huo Zhongyuan made no attempt to hide the fact that he knew about it.
"You~"
Huo Jiakai hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to be so blunt, and he suddenly felt uncertain.
However, the thought that the Huo family business, which his father had built, would be ruined by him made him feel a pang of sadness.
He suppressed his helplessness and said softly, "Xiao Yuan, your aunt has been scammed. She entrusted Huo's shares to someone else, and the other party disappeared after selling the shares."
He lowered his head and said, "I can't find the other person through any of my connections. Xiao Yuan, can you help me?"
"cannot!"
"You've been scammed?"
Huo Zhongyuan's lips twitched, a mocking glint in his eyes. Just how blind was this man? With a little inquiry, he could easily find out what kind of relationship his wife had with the other man.
What's even more ridiculous is that after all these years, what kind of woman is Su Chun? How could she have been so easily swindled out of billions of yuan worth of stocks without any precautions?
Unless she trusts the other person completely and considers them one of her own, how could Su Chun, with her greedy nature, possibly suffer such a loss!
Even he could see it clearly, yet the man opposite him couldn't see it at all; he was simply blind.
"With Su Chun's shrewdness, would she be fooled by a stranger?"
"He said he was her brother's friend!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's question, Huo Jiakai quickly answered.
He had his doubts, but Su Chun brought in Su Chengdong to testify.
He had also inquired and confirmed that he had indeed met the other party through Su Chengdong's introduction.
"My brother's friend!"
Huo Zhongyuan chuckled, his face expressionless when he looked up.
"Since he is her brother's friend, wouldn't it be better to ask her brother for him?"
"Her brother can't be found either; I heard he's already gone abroad."
Huo Jiakai quickly explained.
“I asked someone to check the flight schedules for the past two months, and the other party did indeed fly to M country more than a month ago.”
"Yeah?"
Huo Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows, his expression a half-smile.
Qin Suisui listened from the side, speechless. Was there any point in her senior brother and the other party beating around the bush like this? It was a waste of time.
She couldn't help but hook her finger around his palm.
Huo Zhongyuan almost trembled at her words. He glanced down at her, his deep eyes revealing a hint of affection.
Qin Suisui glared at him before lazily asking.
"Then why did you contact me?"
"Xiao Yuan!"
Huo Jiakai forced a smile, looking uneasy.
"I know you have a way. Could you help me find out where this person is?"
"Then what?"
Huo Zhongyuan's voice carried a hint of nonchalance.
"Can you help me find him?"
Huo Jiakai closed his eyes and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Find him?"
Huo Zhongyuan smiled.
"Once you find him, how will your wife cope?"
"What? What do you mean? What happened to Su Chun?"
Huo Jiakai was puzzled and even started to stutter.
Huo Zhongyuan's lips curled up.
"I mean, should Su Chun be overjoyed or terrified to see her lover?"
