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...
"Whose boyfriend? Su Chun's boyfriend?"
Huo Jiakai's face was pale and his smile was weak.
"Xiao Yuan, don't joke like that!"
"Mr. Huo, you should know I wouldn't joke like that!"
Huo Zhongyuan smiled nonchalantly, but his words caused Huo Jiakai excruciating pain.
"Over the years, based on your understanding of Su Chun, you should know best what kind of person she is at heart."
"Who could make her willingly entrust her stocks to someone? Only someone she would willingly trust!"
"impossible!"
Huo Jiakai was completely exhausted, his hands and feet were ice cold, and his eyes were filled with painful pleading.
"Xiao Yuan, you're not joking with your dad, are you?"
What do you think?
Huo Zhongyuan didn't want to continue this meaningless conversation, so he looked down at his delicate, fair fingers intertwined with his own.
"No wonder it was like that~"
Huo Jiakai muttered to himself and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Senior brother, is he alright?"
Qin Suisui looked at the other person's dazed expression, as if he had suffered a great blow, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She knew of the resentment her senior brother harbored deep within his heart, an emotion he never revealed outwardly.
But she knew that her senior brother had always kept this deep love and sorrow for his mother in his heart.
Every word I said to Mr. Huo today, though seemingly plain, was like a knife, each one releasing my senior's soul.
Huo Zhongyuan slowly raised his head and looked at Sui Sui's worried eyes, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.
"fine!"
It was as if something had broken free of its shackles from the depths of his heart; his face showed a sense of relief at letting go of the past.
"Mr. Huo, is there anything else?"
Upon hearing his voice, Huo Jiakai gradually came to his senses, his expression revealing undisguised pain.
"Xiao Yuan, did you already know? But you—" Why didn't you tell me?
The unspoken words were written on his face, which Huo Zhongyuan found laughable.
His rough fingers rubbed against Sui Sui's palm as he laughed mockingly.
"When Sui Sui was investigating her client's case, she happened to get involved with the other party, and that's when she found out that you and your husband had sold all the stocks that your grandfather left you!"
"In less than a year, if Grandpa knew this from beyond the grave, he would probably be so angry that he would bang his coffin open."
His son's tone was clearly sarcastic, which made Huo Jiakai feel like his heart was being torn apart.
At that moment, he was having trouble even breathing, and his smile was strained.
"Xiao Yuan, I know you resent me, but I'm begging you, for your grandfather's sake, please help me!"
"Help you?"
Huo Zhongyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
How can I help you?
"Help me find that man named Pang Yi!"
When Huo Jiakai spoke of Pang Yi, his eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
"Xiao Yuan!"
He looked up at Huo Zhongyuan.
"Please help me! I'm willing to pay any price to get my shares back!"
"Hmph~"
Huo Zhongyuan sneered, his expression indifferent.
“Mr. Huo, I know best how much real estate you own. Even if you sold it all, it might only be enough to redeem the value of your shares.”
"Then, I'd like to ask you, what benefit would I get from helping you redeem your shares?"
Xiao Yuan's relenting gave Huo Jiakai a much-needed boost.
“Xiao Yuan, if the shares can be recovered, I only need to get back 5%. At least that will give your grandfather an explanation. I’ll give you the rest of the shares.”
His smile grew increasingly bitter: "Now I finally understand your grandfather's good intentions. He probably foresaw that if the Huo Group's shares were left to me, the Huo Group would only head towards its demise."
"Only by leaving it to you can the Huo family grow bigger and stronger, and only you can lead the Huo family to create a new chapter!"
Huo Zhongyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Qin Suisui.
"Sui Sui, do you think I should accept?"
Qin Suisui glanced at him sideways, then turned her gaze to Huo Jiakai.
"Mr. Huo, after the other party maliciously sold the shares, I wonder if you reported it to the police."
"I called the police, but I only called them a week ago!"
Speaking of reporting the case, Huo Jiakai wished he could immediately return to Beicheng and kick that bitch Su Chun out of the Huo family villa.
If Su Chun hadn't kept it a secret, how could he have only reported it a week ago?
When he returns this time, he will definitely investigate Su Chun and Pang Yi's affair thoroughly. If what Xiao Yuan said is true, he will make sure Su Chun leaves with nothing.
"However, the police said that Pang Yi has already gone abroad and his whereabouts are currently unknown. In addition, he has a power of attorney from me, so it may be very difficult to obtain evidence!"
Qin Suisui knew very well where Pang Yi was. After investigation, Huating police cooperated with Taizhou police last week and Pang Yi was arrested in Taizhou. He was extradited back to China the day before yesterday and is now being held in Huating Detention Center.
However, in order to cooperate with the next step of the Huating Procuratorate's plan, she certainly wouldn't reveal a single word.
