After leaving Huashan, he quickly went to report to Huo Yingjie. With such tight surveillance, the old woman was able to escape; she must have some extraordinary abilities.
Upon hearing Hua Shan's report, Huo Yingjie frowned slightly, calculated for a moment, and then smiled, "No need to rush, I will personally bring back that Granny Ma."
On the day of the competition, Huo Yingjie felt that Granny Ma was suspicious, so he left a wisp of divine thought on her. Unless the old woman died, that mark would always remain, and Huo Yingjie would be able to find her.
"No need to rush," Huo Yingjie said. Since they had already left, there was no immediate danger to He Tiantian.
The man with the concentrated sulfuric acid is still in critical condition. He wants to personally ask that man who ordered him to do it.
It was from this point that Huo Yingjie realized there were two groups of people trying to deal with He Tiantian.
Xu Weiwei's situation has been investigated and resolved because of the Zhou family, so it won't be difficult to deal with her; however, there is still no news about the other group, which makes Huo Yingjie very uneasy.
That's why Huashan and Cui Ying were left behind, primarily to handle this matter.
If He Tiantian had returned to China immediately after the competition, Huo Yingjie might not have been so worried. However, she has to attend a charity gala tomorrow night and cannot miss it. The day after tomorrow, there is also an overseas premiere.
This was agreed upon beforehand.
“Grandma Ma, Xu Weiwei has already left Hong Kong,” Huo Yingjie said. “She won’t pose a threat to Tiantian for the time being, and I’ve already been following Grandma Ma, so finding them is only a matter of time. Now we need to investigate who that person who carried the concentrated sulfuric acid is.”
Huashan also received information from Cui Ying and learned some things.
"Was it done by Zhao Gang?" Hua Shan asked, referring to another person they were investigating: a triad boss.
Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "The people we sent to follow him didn't find anything unusual about Zhao Gang, so we still can't determine who did it. Let's go to the hospital together now. As long as that person isn't dead, we'll try to get them to tell us."
“Yes,” Hua Shan said, and followed Huo Yingjie to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Huo Yingjie and Hua Shan also obtained the materials related to the short man.
This man, Xia Sanqiang, was indeed a cleaner at the stadium. He had a fairly virtuous wife and two daughters. His job was decent, but he loved gambling. Whenever he had a little money, he would bet on horse races or go to Macau, never returning until he had lost everything. He would even resort to high-interest loans.
Xia Sanqiang currently has 100,000 yuan in usurious loans.
As for whether he was threatened by loan sharks and then did this, or whether it was someone else, we need to ask Xia Sanqiang.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xia Sanqiang had already been saved and was in a high-risk ward. Outside, Xia Sanqiang's wife and daughter were weeping.
Seeing this, Huashan cursed inwardly, thinking, "He has such a good family, yet he doesn't know how to cherish them. All he does is gamble and has accumulated a huge debt."
In Hong Kong, the consequences of not being able to repay high-interest loans are terrifying.
First, they'll mortgage all your assets. If you can't pay it back, they'll make your wife and daughters work as prostitutes—that's a quick way to make money.
Because of usury, countless women have been forced into prostitution, ruining their lives.
Although Huo Yingjie sympathized with the mother and her two daughters, he would not be so kind as to help this man who had once threatened to throw sulfuric acid at his wife.
The nurses persuaded the mother and her two daughters to go back inside. They were in a high-risk ward and couldn't go in, as it would disrupt the hospital's order.
The mother and her two daughters could only stay a distance away and visit each other occasionally.
"Huashan, you watch over those three women. I'm going there," Huo Yingjie said. He didn't have time to wait for Xia Sanqiang to wake up, so he had to use the secret medicine.
After Huo Yingjie went inside, he gave Xia Sanqiang a secret pill.
A minute later, Xia Sanqiang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white roof with a dazed expression.
"Where am I?" Xia Sanqiang asked, confused. His eyes darted around, and he noticed an unfamiliar man standing next to him. "And who are you?"
Huo Yingjie sneered and asked, "Who ordered the sulfuric acid to be brought in? And who is it intended to be splashed on?"
Xia Sanqiang was stunned for a moment, then remembered what had happened before his suicide attempt. The pain in his body told him that he was not dreaming and that he was not dead. He said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't you know?" Huo Yingjie sneered. "You borrowed money from loan sharks, and those people threatened your family. If they can do it, so can I. If you don't tell, your wife and daughter won't have a good ending. What a tragic life that would be for your sixteen-year-old daughter."
Although Huo Yingjie wouldn't actually do that, he had to scare Xia Sanqiang in order to get the information.
Some people just won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
Xia Sanqiang was taken aback by these words and hesitated for a moment.
"Don't you believe me? Otherwise, I'll strip your daughter naked right now and throw her out into the street," Huo Yingjie threatened, his eyes sharp.
Upon hearing this, Xia Sanqiang thought that if this person could get in, he must be quite capable.
"Please, don't hurt my wife and daughter. They are innocent. It's all my fault for gambling, which has dragged them down with me," Xia Sanqiang said. "Don't hurt them."
Although Xia Sanqiang is a scoundrel, he's not rotten to the core.
"Heh, our boss said that if the information you provide is useful, he'll give you some money to settle your family. If it's useless, not only will you not get any money... you know what will happen to you." Huo Yingjie said coldly. This time, he was determined to find the mastermind.
We cannot let Xia Sanqiang's stubborn resistance cause our efforts to be in vain.
Xia Sanqiang knew there was nothing he could do now, so he could only tell the whole story: "A man named Abin contacted me and said he could help me pay off my loan shark debts, as long as I followed his instructions to throw sulfuric acid on an athlete named He Tiantian."
Upon hearing the name "He Tiantian," Huo Yingjie knew that their investigation was on the right track.
"What does that Ah Bin look like?" Huo Yingjie asked. "And what's his background?"
Xia Sanqiang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. I just know that every time I see Abin, he's alone. He's quite young and handsome."
"Do you have a photo?" Huo Yingjie asked, as he couldn't identify the person based on the description alone.
After all, every match was sold out that day.
“I don’t have any photos,” Xia Sanqiang said. “People are very careful when doing things like this. I’m just a small fry, so it’s impossible for me to be allowed to take photos.”
"Think again, is there any other useful information?" Huo Yingjie asked. "You said yourself that you were following Ah Bin's instructions, were they on-site instructions?"
“Yes, that’s the on-site instruction,” Xia Sanqiang said. “On the first day, he was in row 13 of section D, second seat on the left; on the second day, he was in row 12 of section E, first seat on the right; on the third day, he was in row 1 of section C, third seat on the left. Abin sat in these seats for all three days. I really don’t know anything else.”
