Daughter on the Brink of Death, Scumbag CEO Sets Off Fireworks for His First Love

The night before her daughter's death, Bai Shuyu was still desperately calling Gu Hongrui's phone, but all she got was "The number you dialed is unreachable."

Her daughter eve...

Chapter 78 Who is behind the scenes?

"You go out first."

Lin Chen looked at the concern and helplessness in Chen Luoyi's eyes, and waved at her.

Chen Luoyi also quickly walked out of the house.

Huo Jiaqi frowned and looked at Lin Chen: "What on earth are you doing? I haven't even let her leave!"

"Jiaqi, even for the sake of our past relationship, please stop going crazy, okay?"

Huo Jiaqi frowned and looked at Lin Chen: "To you, what I did is just madness."

He sneered: "Lin Chen, you are too ridiculous!"

Lin Chen's eyes also fell on Huo Jiaqi: "Aren't these things crazy?"

Huo Jiaqi noticed the helplessness in his eyes. She opened her mouth but swallowed back the rest of her words.

Huo Jiaqi knew that Lin Chen would most likely not be able to truly empathize with his decisions.

"Jiaqi, I can promise you that I won't let Shuyu and Chen Luoyi partner up together. Now that I've said this, can you just hold back a little bit, okay?"

Lin Chen looked at him: "If you don't say anything else, just do it because you are helping me, okay?"

Huo Jiaqi looked at Lin Chen's humble look and swallowed the rest of his words.

Lin Chen's eyes fell on Huo Jiaqi. Seeing him compromise, Lin Chen finally smiled: "It seems that you are willing to agree to my proposal now."

"Lin Chen, I'll only say this once. This is the first request you've made to me, and I'll agree to it now. But there won't be a next time."

Huo Jiaqi looked at Lin Chen: "You should understand this, right?"

"certainly!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen finally felt relieved and said, "Jia Qi, I feel relieved with your words."

Huo Jiaqi walked out, and when she was about to leave the company gate, she paused and shifted her gaze to Lin Chen: "Also, if the company has any major events, don't use Chen Luoyi."

Lin Chen looked at Huo Jiaqi. He was stunned when he heard this, but he agreed reluctantly: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Huo Jiaqi finally left without looking back.

Corridor, elevator entrance.

Chen Luoyi's gaze fell on Huo Jiaqi: "Boss Huo, would you like to talk to me?"

Huo Jiaqi just glanced at her.

Just that one glance made Chen Luoyi subconsciously feel humiliated.

She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with shame.

Huo Jiaqi saw that Chen Luoyi was not saying anything. As the elevator was about to arrive, Chen Luoyi became anxious and her eyes fell on him.

"Don't you want to know how I got out of prison?"

Chen Luoyi's voice was heard instantly when Huo Jiaqi was about to step into the elevator.

Huo Jiaqi paused, and his eyes finally fell on her.

When Chen Luoyi saw Huo Jiaqi stop, she knew that she had made the right bet.

"Boss Huo, since you want to know now, I don't need to hide it from you."

Chen Luoyi's smiling eyes fell on him, and Huo Jiaqi said coldly: "Speak."

"This isn't a good place to talk, otherwise, Mr. Huo, please follow me."

Her eyes fell on him. Huo Jiaqi thought for a moment before taking a step and following Chen Luoyi.

The two people came to a quiet and deserted place.

Huo Jiaqi looked at Chen Luoyi and said indifferently, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Chen Luoyi's eyes fell on him: "I was able to come out because of the help of someone behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that Mr. Huo would be so interested."

"Boss Huo, you also know the people who helped me. If I tell you clearly, will there be a place for me in Ruilai?"

Chen Luoyi was threatening him.

Huo Jiaqi saw it clearly, and he forced a cold smile: "Chen Luoyi, you still haven't figured it out. If this matter is to be resolved, you need to explain it clearly yourself, and I hope you understand."

"I don't have that much patience."

Chen Luoyi shuddered all over and looked at Huo Jiaqi. Her self-righteous design was probably worthless in front of Huo Jiaqi.

She bit her lip, and the unbearable feeling gradually flooded her heart.

Chen Luoyi looked at Huo Jiaqi, curled her lips, and quickly said, "I admit that I wanted to use these things to make you compromise, but Mr. Huo didn't seem threatened by me."

Huo Jiaqi looked at Chen Luoyi, his eyes shifting slightly: "So?"

"Chen Luoyi, if you keep wasting my time again and again, I'm sorry, but I don't have time to bother with you anymore."

Huo Jiaqi stood up and was about to leave. Chen Luoyi saw it and reached out to grab his wrist: "Boss Huo, what's the rush?"

As soon as Chen Luoyi said this, Huo Jiaqi ruthlessly pushed her away.

She took a few steps back and looked at Huo Jiaqi in disbelief: "Boss Huo, what do you mean?"

Huo Jiaqi sneered, "Miss Chen, I'm afraid I really gave you the illusion that I'm easy to talk to!"

After he said this, he turned and was about to leave.

Chen Luoyi looked at Huo Jiaqi and took a deep breath: "It's the Gu family."

Huo Jiaqi paused, his eyes fixed on Chen Luoyi. His expression was cold: "What did you say?"

Chen Luoyi raised her head and looked at him: "I said, it was the Gu family who rescued me from prison."

"And they asked me to drag Bai Shuyu into the quagmire."

Huo Jiaqi took a deep breath and looked at her face.

Chen Luoyi probably also knew that Huo Jiaqi was watching to see if she was lying.

She now raised her head openly, her eyes fixed on Huo Jiaqi: "Boss Huo, there's no need for me to lie to you. Besides, you hold my lifeline in your hands now, how could I dare to lie to you?"

"I mean everything I say."

Chen Luoyi looked at Huo Jiaqi as she spoke. "At first, I was just as shocked as you, but I never expected that it was the Gu family who actually came to find me."

"Why did they come to you?"

Huo Jiaqi stared at Chen Luoyi bluntly, "From what I've seen, there's almost no benefit for the Gu family in finding you, so why would they find you?"

Chen Luoyi's smiling eyes fell on him: "Boss Huo, have you forgotten the most crucial point?"

Huo Jiaqi heard Chen Luoyi's voice and looked over. He heard Chen Luoyi say, "Aren't you a very popular person for the Gu family?"

"How could they not covet anything from you?"

Huo Jiaqi looked at Chen Luoyi and sneered when he heard this: "Chen Luoyi, so you mean to say that they released you just to deal with Bai Shuyu, so that she would leave me?"
