Chapter 328: A Mistake

Over the next few days, Qi Yunzhe seemed to have disappeared without a trace, never appearing in public again. The Qi family also kept a much lower profile.

However, some rumors about Huo Yunting suddenly spread in the market, saying that the Qi family was destroyed by Huo Yunting.

Everyone in Rongcheng's upper class knew that Qi Yunzhe and Huo Yunting were friends for many years. After learning that Huo Yunting was dealing with the Qi family, they began to talk about him behind his back.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Huo to be this kind of person. It seems that all he cares about is profit. He would even sell out his own brothers for profit!"

"Haha, businessmen are all about profit. Brotherhood is nothing. Money is the most important thing!"

"If I were Qi Yunzhe, I would hate Huo Yunting to death. On the surface, he's a good brother, but in the back, he's stabbed me!"

These rumors also reached Huo Yunting's ears, and even people within the Huo family were discussing them.

After hearing this, Ke Ning fired several people who spoke ill of Huo Yunting behind his back, and suddenly no one in the Huo family dared to discuss this matter anymore.

"Mr. Huo, the rumors out there are too much. Do you want to issue a statement to explain?"

Huo Yunting looked indifferent. "Why should I explain? It's a fact that I'm dealing with the Qi family."

Ke Ning frowned, "But you're targeting the Qi Group because President Qi caused you to divorce Miss Chi. It's not like they're saying you're backstabbing President Qi!"

Huo Yunting looked up at him and said coldly, "Who do you think is spreading these rumors behind the scenes?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Ke Ning said cautiously, "Mr. Qi?"

"Except for him, there will be no one else. These rumors can indeed make others begin to sympathize with him, which is also a good thing for the Qi family."

Hearing this, Ke Ning's eyes flashed with anger. "This is too much. It's obvious that they want to use your reputation to negotiate business with other partners."

Qi Yunzhe packaged himself as a victim, so those partners would naturally have a good impression of him and it would be much easier to do business.

Huo Yunting looked calm, "Don't worry about it. If he can seize this opportunity to climb up, it is also his ability."

Those partners are not fools. Even if they sympathize with him, they will immediately turn against Qi if he cannot bring them benefits. After all, everyone cares about their own interests the most.

"Mr. Huo, you are still too kind to Mr. Qi."

"Okay, get out."

After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting picked up the document and continued reading, seemingly unaffected by the incident.

MY.

Chi Muzhen also saw the messages in a group accusing Huo Yunting of being greedy and forgetting his principles. She lowered her eyes for a while and then left.

Now that the two have divorced, what happens to Huo Yunting has nothing to do with her.

However, after she picked up the document, she couldn't concentrate on reading it.

After spending half an hour reading only three pages of the document, Chi Muzhen finally gave up and decided to do something else first.

Just as I was about to call Xu Qing to ask him to notify the shareholders of the meeting, my cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was Qi Yunzhe, Chi Muzhen didn't want to answer.

However, the other party kept calling several times, and Chi Muzhen finally answered.

"Boss Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Yunzhe's slightly bitter voice came over, "Mu Zhen, do you hate me so much now?"

Chi Muzhen frowned and said coldly, "I don't hate you, I just don't want to have anything to do with Mr. Qi anymore. From now on, Mr. Qi should just call me Mr. Chi or Chi Muzhen."

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yunzhe said helplessly, "I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."

"What's the meaning?"

"The Qi family has become a low-ranking family in Rongcheng. I plan to start a new life in another city, so I called you today to say goodbye."

Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said slowly: "Then I wish Mr. Qi success."

Qi Yunzhe smiled bitterly, "Thank you, and I'm really sorry about that. I hope you can forgive me."

"There's no need to forgive or not forgive. We probably won't have any intersection in the future. Goodbye, Mr. Qi."

After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone.

Qi Yunzhe's face was gloomy, and a wave of resentment and anger surged in his heart. Sure enough, after the Qi family was defeated, Chi Muzhen had begun to look down on him!

He dialed a phone with a gloomy face and said coldly: "You said that as long as I listen to you, you can make the Qi family return to its peak and get Chi Muzhen?"

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, and it could be heard that the other party was about forty years old.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yunzhe's eyes became extremely cold.

One day, he will make Huo Yunting regret what he is doing now, definitely!

In the evening, Ke Ning walked into Huo Yunting's office.

"Mr. Huo, Qin Xue wants to see you."

Huo Yunting frowned, "Which Qin Xue?"

Ke Ning: “…”

One look at his expression and you'll know he must have forgotten.

"She's Qin Jun's sister."

A flash of surprise flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes, and then he said coldly: "Bring her to my office."

Following Ke Ning into Huo Yunting's office, Qin Xue became more and more nervous, her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

After bringing Qin Xue to the office, Ke Ning left.

"I heard you wanted to see me."

Qin Xue looked over when she heard the voice and saw Huo Yunting sitting behind his desk, looking at her coldly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and that feeling of fear came back.

"Mr. Huo, I want to ask you to let my brother go."

She thought about it for a long time these days and finally decided to believe Qin Jun's words. After all, he is her brother.

Huo Yunting sneered, "Miss Qin, are you kidding me? Your brother's actions constitute premeditated murder. If I send him to the police station, he could be put in jail for life. But just because of your words, I'm going to let him go. Where do you get the nerve to do that?"

Qin Xue's face turned pale and she couldn't help biting her lower lip.

"Boss Huo, what do you want in exchange for letting my brother go?"

"I can give you a chance."

"What opportunity?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Qin Xue's eyes. As long as there is an opportunity, there is still hope.

"As long as you can get him to tell me everything he knows about the Li family, I can consider letting him go."

Qin Xue was silent for a while, then whispered, "I can try, but I may not succeed."

Huo Yunting didn't say anything else and directly asked Ke Ning to take Qin Xue to see Qin Jun.

An hour later, seeing that Qin Jun's injuries were much more serious than before, Qin Xue burst into tears.

She walked forward quickly and choked up, "Brother...how are you?"

There was no part of Qin Jun's body that didn't hurt. When he heard Qin Xue's voice, he thought he was dreaming. It was not until Qin Xue continued talking that he raised his head with difficulty.

"Xiaoxue, why are you here?"

"Brother, Mr. Huo promised me that as long as you tell him everything you know about the Li family, he will let you go."

Qin Jun's eyes flashed, and his voice became colder, "No! I can't betray the Li family again!"
