Chapter 276 Hostility

Special Assistant Yang hesitated to speak.

If he remembered correctly, this Huo Dongcheng was the president of the Chinese Association when his wife was studying abroad. He had helped his wife a lot and was one of the men close to his wife. He might be the father of the child his wife had given birth to!

Maybe he is so hostile to Mr. Fu because he knows that Mr. Fu is his wife's ex-husband!

One of the reasons why Fu Zheng returned to Fu's this time was that the Huo family poached several core figures in Fu's Group's new energy project at a high price, and the project was shelved.

Every day of delay is a huge loss.

This project was previously supported by Fu Zheng and had involved considerable investment. The top management was unwilling to let all the efforts go to waste, and neither was Fu Zheng.

Anyway, this guy named Huo should not be underestimated.

Special Assistant Yang was about to remind Fu Zheng about the relationship between Huo Dongcheng and Wen Liang when the elevator door opened and Fu Zheng strode out.

Special Assistant Yang could only hurry to catch up.

This dinner was mainly for the acquisition of a technology company.

Fu Zheng immediately put forward this proposal after returning to Fu Group, and it was unanimously approved by the board of directors.

Fu Zheng had just recovered from his stomach problems and was not suitable for drinking. During the social event, Special Assistant Yang was very serious in helping Fu Zheng block the alcohol.

As expected, he drank too much and passed out.

After the dinner was over, Fu Zheng asked the driver to take him home.

When he sobered up, Special Assistant Yang had completely forgotten about Huo Dongcheng.

That evening, Fu Zheng got news from his secretary that Huo Dongcheng was having dinner with Mr. Wang from the technology company in a restaurant and they had a very pleasant conversation.

He is going to intercept again.

Fu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to his secretary calmly, "Please help me make an appointment with Mr. Wang tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Fu."

…

At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Liang received a call from the director.

The director said regretfully, "The victim said she was afraid of remembering those bad things, so she didn't want to see you."

"Uncle, could you please persuade her again? Her testimony is very important. I know this will cause her secondary harm, but I have no other choice. My father is my only relative. I must bring the murderer to justice. Can you help me again?"

The director sighed and said, "Okay, I'll help you persuade him again."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang was worried.

The thing she feared most happened.

If the victim really does not want to come forward, then he can only hope that Ji Dan can complete her commission, capture Zhang Guoan, and send him to China.

But there has been no news about Ji Dan recently, so Wen Liang doesn't dare to hold too much hope.

She thought about it and sent a message to Ji Dan, asking him about the progress and whether he had caught Zhang Guoan.

Early in the morning on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Liang received a call from the director.

She answered the call with a nervous mood, and when she heard the good news from the director, she almost jumped for joy while holding the phone.

The victim agreed to meet her and agreed to meet at a restaurant at 7 o'clock tonight.

The director said that the victim's attitude was not firm and this was her only chance. If she missed it, she might regret it.

"Uncle, I know. I will definitely be there on time. I'm really sorry for bothering you these past few days. Thank you!"

"You're welcome. This is my duty."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The victim's agreement to meet her was a good start.

She opened the message and took a look, but Ji Dan didn't reply at all.

Wen Liang thought that her 50,000 deposit was probably wasted.

At six o'clock in the evening, before going to the restaurant, Wen Liang first sent Fu Shifan to the old house.

Arriving at the parking lot in front of the restaurant, Wen Liang unbuckled his seat belt and turned off the engine. When getting out of the car, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the door of the restaurant. It seemed to be Chu Siyi?

She walked into the restaurant with her bag, went straight to the second floor and headed to the private room she had booked.

After turning the corner, Wen Liang went up the stairs while looking up. Suddenly, she saw a person standing at the second floor stairs. It was the figure she had just seen, Chu Siyi!

Chu Siyi was dressed brightly and beautifully, leaning against the stair railing with an elegant smile on her face. She stared at Wen Liang without blinking, as if she was waiting for her deliberately. "It turns out I wasn't mistaken, that really is your car!"

Wen Liang paused and continued upstairs, "Why? Miss Chu is waiting for me here, do you want to chat with me?"

"Of course not." Chu Siyi said with a smile, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "I just want to give you a special gift-"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and pushed hard.

"ah--"

Wen Liang was caught off guard, his footing slipped, and he tumbled down the stairs.

At that moment, the world was spinning.

When she regained consciousness, she had already fallen heavily to the ground, and the pain made her vision go black.

She looked up and Chu Siyi was gone.

She felt pain of varying degrees all over her body.

The most painful part was her forehead. She gently reached out and touched it. Her face turned pale in pain and a trace of warm scarlet liquid stained her fingers.

"Miss, are you okay?" The waiter saw her and immediately helped her up. "Please sit over there for a moment. I'll get you a first aid kit. Do you need me to call 911?"

As soon as his right foot touched the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle. Wen Liang took a breath and looked at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock.

"No. Got a Band-Aid?"

She didn't dare to waste time. She had finally made an appointment with the victim and was afraid that she would leave if she was late.

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away."

Wen Liang took out a tissue from her bag, gently wiped the blood off her face, and asked the waiter to put two Band-Aids on her forehead. "Please save the surveillance video for me. I'll copy it after I finish my own business."

After the waiter agreed, she held on to the railing, endured the pain, and limped up to the second floor.

No one knew where Chu Siyi had gone, and Wen Liang didn't have the time to argue with her now. He planned to wait until he met the victim before calling the police.

When he arrived at the door of the agreed box, Wen Liang was already sweating profusely from the pain and his face was pale.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and pushed the door open.

Wen Liang took a step further and saw a figure sitting on the sofa. He froze and an angry look instantly appeared on his face. "Chu Siyi, why are you here?! Get out!"

Chu Siyi leaned lazily against the back of the sofa, holding a goblet in her hand, with a smug smile on her face, "Why am I here? Don't you know who you've made an appointment with? Are you sure you want me to leave?"

Wen Liang looked at her smile, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he thought of a possibility in an instant.

She looked at Chu Siyi in astonishment, her face full of disbelief, "You... are the victim of the kidnapping back then?"

Wen Liang's thoughts turned over and over again, and he really didn't expect it to be Chu Siyi.

But now thinking back, it was indeed Chu Siyi.

She had long known from Jiang Mu and Fu Yue that Chu Siyi had been kidnapped and suffered a miserable fate, and the director also said that the victim was a female who had been cruelly tortured by the kidnappers and suffered psychological trauma, which was exactly the same.

Chu Siyi took a sip of her red wine. "Yes, do you know why this case is so secretive? Because of Ah Zheng. After the incident, he used the Fu family's connections to suppress the news and even deleted all the related webpages."
