Chapter 326: Bit by Bit

Chi Muzhen shook her head. "I know Huo Yunting has captured you these past few days. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

A hint of shock flashed across Qin Xue's eyes, and she unconsciously took two steps back.

"You...how do you know?"

"You haven't been to the company for a few days, and I couldn't contact you, so I asked someone to check your whereabouts and found out that you were taken away by Huo Yunting's people. I wanted to rescue you last night, but Huo Yunting said he would let you go this morning, so I left."

Seeing that Qin Xue didn't seem to be hurt, Chi Muzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xue bit her lower lip. How could she dare to talk about that humiliating experience?

"No... Mr. Huo didn't do anything to me..."

"That's good. By the way, I heard that your brother deliberately pushed Huo Yunting's mother onto the road, causing her to have a car accident. That's why Huo Yunting sent someone to arrest you. Did you know about this?"

Qin Xue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I heard about it... I haven't seen him in many years, and I didn't expect him to do such a thing... But I heard him say that it seemed like someone from the Li family in the capital had instructed him to do this."

Chi Muzhen frowned. She had heard of the Li family before when she was in Beijing. Although it was one of the eight major families in Beijing, it was very ruthless in doing things. It would directly and maliciously suppress its competitors, and finally force them to go bankrupt and jump off the building before giving up.

There are no less than ten families bankrupted by the Li family, so the Li family’s reputation in the capital is not very good, but this does not prevent the Li family from becoming stronger.

In the capital, few people would take the initiative to provoke the Li family.

Suddenly, Chi Muzhen remembered what Huo Yunting had told her before about the secret key. Could it be that the Li family sent people to deal with Cheng Shumin for the secret key?

Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen's expression changed.

Qin Xue also noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly asked, "Boss Chi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. You must have been frightened these past few days. I'll give you a week's vacation. You should rest well during this time and recover before going back to work."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chi."

"Well, feel free to call me if you need anything."

After leaving Qin Xue's house, Chi Muzhen drove directly to Huo's to find Huo Yunting, but learned that he had gone to the hospital to see Cheng Shumin.

At this moment, the hospital.

Cheng Shumin sat on the hospital bed, her face still a little pale.

Huo Yunting stood aside and listened to the doctor's instructions.

Looking at his serious profile, Cheng Shumin's mind unconsciously emerged with the message in her mobile phone. In the past few days, the other party would send her the same message almost every day.

At first, Cheng Shumin could ignore it, but after a long time, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Huo Yunting really was not her son?

"Mr. Huo, that's basically it."

Huo Yunting nodded, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

After the doctor left, Huo Yunting looked at Cheng Shumin, "Mom, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"

"No, if you're busy at work, you don't have to come see me. I have a nurse to take care of me."

"Well, I'll go get you some porridge. The doctor said it's best for you to eat liquid food until you're discharged."

After Huo Yunting left, Cheng Shumin picked up her phone, clicked on the number that sent the text message and dialed it.

The call was connected quickly, but before the other party could say anything, Cheng Shumin angrily said, "Don't text me again, or I'll call the police!"

After a few seconds of silence, a mocking voice came from the other end, "If you truly had no doubts in your heart, you wouldn't have made this call. You would have called the police directly."

Cheng Shumin's grip on the phone tightened as she gritted her teeth and said, "You said Huo Yunting is not my son. Do you have any evidence?!"

"Of course there is evidence, but you have to find it yourself."

"What's the meaning?!"

"You are his mother. He won't be on guard against you. It will be easy to get his hair or something like that. When the time comes, find an identification agency and they will be able to quickly test whether you are related or not."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Cheng Shumin held the phone tightly, her eyes full of struggle.

After a long while, a hint of determination slowly flashed in her eyes. No matter whether what that person said was true or not, she had to do the paternity test to make herself feel at ease!

When Huo Yunting returned to the ward, Cheng Shumin's mood had calmed down.

While drinking porridge, Cheng Shumin casually asked, "You live alone in Yuting now. Do you have an aunt to take care of you?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes. "No, why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

"Don't I know you? You don't even eat when you're busy. I'll ask Aunt Liu to cook for you and clean your room."

Huo Yunting frowned and said, "No need, I hired a part-time worker."

"No hourly worker can be as dedicated as the Huo family's servants. Aunt Liu's cooking skills are also good. You used to like her cola chicken wings. It's settled."

Huo Yunting wanted to refuse, but thinking that Cheng Shumin was still recovering from her injuries, he didn't want to argue with her over such a trivial matter, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Well, go to work. I don't have anything to do here."

"good."

After sending Huo Yunting away, Cheng Shumin immediately called Aunt Liu and told her to get Huo Yunting's hair or toothbrush.

Aunt Liu acted quickly and arrived at the hospital with the necessary supplies in less than two hours.

Cheng Shumin found a trustworthy doctor and, without using her own or Huo Yunting's name, she directly handed the hair to the doctor and asked him to determine whether there was a parent-child relationship.

After the doctor left, Aunt Liu said solemnly, "Madam, do you suspect that the eldest young master is not your child?"

Cheng Shumin shook her head. "Recently, a psychopath has been texting me saying Yun Ting isn't my child. I thought I'd just do a paternity test to put my mind at ease."

"I was waiting outside when you gave birth. The eldest young master is definitely your son. He looks a lot like the old master, so how could he not be from the Huo family?"

"Yeah, I know. I just want to feel at ease."

Aunt Liu sighed and said nothing more.

As soon as Huo Yunting arrived at the door of Huo’s company, he saw Chi Muzhen waiting there.

He frowned and said coldly, "Qin Xue has been released, do you still have something to do?"

Seeing the indifference and alienation in Huo Yunting's eyes, Chi Muzhen frowned. He was holding her and refused to let go last night, but today he looked like he didn't want to see her. This man changed too quickly.

"I came here to ask you, Qin Xue's brother pushed your mother onto the street. Is this incident related to the secret key?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't come to me again in the future. I won't see you again." Huo Yunting said indifferently and was about to leave.

Chi Muzhen grabbed his hand and gritted her teeth, "Huo Yunting, you were the one who told me about the secret key, and now you're asking me not to interfere. Do you think that's possible?"
