Chapter 133 News Leaked
Jian Mo's eyelids were twitching and she felt very anxious. She had no idea if it was because she almost lost her virginity just now.
She let him comfort her, and finally leaned into his arms. She was reluctant to speak at first, but after a long time, she felt that Huo Qichen's patience was about to disappear, and finally spoke: "The layout of this hotel should be changed."
The feeling of being isolated and helpless left her with lingering fears.
What would she do if...if Qingying didn't show up...what would she do if Qingying didn't save her?
Huo Qichen felt the same fear in his heart, and his expression became much more dignified: "Yes, it needs to be changed."
Not only do we need to change, we need to change it drastically.
Two months later, this most prestigious hotel in Haicheng underwent a major overhaul. Rumor has it that Huo Qichen spent tens of millions on the project, and he won't stop until he's satisfied. Zhang Lan's family, however, wasn't spared. They'd initially held back because they didn't want to wipe them out, but now...
It's all blood.
Of course, this is all later.
The road would be difficult to clear for the time being, so Huo Qichen simply turned around and went another way. He took her back to another residence in Haicheng.
He doesn't live here permanently and doesn't have any servants, so it's very quiet.
Passing by the small courtyard, Jian Mo looked up in his arms and saw two lights on in the corridor.
The night light illuminates the returning people.
The man patted her shoulder and put her on the bed in the master bedroom. It was a one-story villa with lush green plants planted outside the master bedroom. The sound of water dripping from the eaves into the pool was crisp and pleasant.
Probably because he didn't come here often, Huo Qi Chen had forgotten the layout of the place. He stood up to find the necessary things. Jian Mo lay on the bed with her eyes slightly closed, watching the busy man.
She felt complicated.
If Huo Qichen was the gentle man she remembered now, then the brutality and indifference he had shown a few days ago seemed like a completely different person. She didn't understand how one person could possess such diametrically opposed temperaments.
It made her heart ache.
Because of the sudden change in trajectory, the doctor couldn't come for a while, so Huo Qi Chen found the medicine box and treated the abrasions on her body gently.
"Don't you know how to run?"
Jian Mo didn't have the energy to speak, and her voice was very low, "Will running help?"
"It's just a door away. As long as you go in, it will be useful."
Jian Mo closed her eyes, not wanting to elaborate on how fast and ruthless Zhang Lan's movements were.
She looked like a broken porcelain doll. Huo Qichen glanced at her, retracted his cold gaze, and stood up to wash his hands.
When I came back, Jian Mo was curled up in the corner with the quilt covering her head. I didn't know if she was asleep or not.
Huo Qichen stood at the door for a moment, then raised his hand to turn off the light and turned to leave.
He slept in the study that night. He couldn't really say he slept, he just sat on the sofa, watching the sky outside the window gradually brighten up, his dark eyes filled with calculations and plans.
When the sky turned pale, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
Huo Qi Chen pressed his eyebrows and opened his personal mobile phone. There were many missed calls, most of which were from Mu Yi.
"What's up?" he called back.
"Oh no, Mr. Huo. The person who had an accident at the construction site suffered a cerebral hemorrhage last night and couldn't be saved. The media got the news." Mu Yi said anxiously, "I wanted to come to you directly, but because of... Miss Jian, I have reservations."
Huo Qichen's eyes gleamed, "Only a few people know about this. Where did the media get the news?"
Mu Yi continued, "Yes, we signed a confidentiality agreement with the workers present, and the hospital is extremely strict. How could the media find out?"
Huo Qichen strode out of the study. It was raining outside, and the raindrops were dripping under the eaves. He was intimidating without being angry. "Check the staff around you."
"I checked it when you didn't answer the phone, and there's no problem, Mr. Huo... Excuse me, have you told anyone about this?" Mu Yi asked cautiously.
Huo Qi Chen raised his eyes and saw that Jian Mo's door was closed. There was no sound from inside, only the sound of rain echoing in his ears.
"She won't."
Mu Yi couldn't help but emphasize his tone on the phone, "This matter is very serious. Many reporters have been blocking the entrance of Huo's company. If we can't find the source, it will be difficult for PR to handle it."
Huo Qichen closed his eyes for a moment, then hung up the phone: "Wait a moment."
When I pushed open the door, Jian Mo was sitting in front of the window in a trance. She looked at the drizzling rain outside, not knowing what she was thinking. The weather was cold and she was only wearing a nightgown. She looked so lonely that it was heartbreaking.
She didn't turn her head when she heard the sound, as if she had lost her soul.
"You don't have to go to Huo's today. Just stay here and have a good rest." Huo Qichen's big hand held the door handle, his expression was indifferent and no emotion could be seen.
Jian Mo didn't respond. When he turned around, she said, "I want to go see Qingying."
No matter how complicated the relationship between the two is, this is a life-saving favor, and there is no reason not to express gratitude.
Huo Qichen didn't even look back, "I'll have someone send you the hospitalization information."
Quiet.
After taking two steps, the man stopped again. "You were with Zhou Liangqi the night the accident happened at the construction site. Did you tell him about this?"
Jian Mo finally showed some reaction, but she looked bewildered. "...never."
After getting this answer, Huo Qi Chen didn't ask any more questions and strode out of the villa. Soon, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
It was unknown how long it took for Jian Mo to come back to her senses. She washed up and turned on her phone to find Qingying's location, which was in the hospital where her father was hospitalized.
She took a taxi and bought some fruit before entering the hospital. Current affairs news was being broadcast on the TV in the fruit shop. Many reporters approached Huo Qichen with microphones in their hands. He remained calm in the noise.
"Mr. Huo, a life was lost shortly after the Jinxiu City project began. Did the Huo company fail to oversee it?"
"Mr. Huo, can you explain the cause of the accident?"
“…”
Huo Qichen faced the camera, his eyes firm and calm. "We are cooperating with the police in their investigation into the cause of the accident. We have already taken care of the family's comfort. There has been no negative news regarding the projects supervised by Huo's company. Once the investigation is completed, we will make the truth of the accident public."
"Everyone, please be patient."
After saying that, Huo Qichen turned and left, and his bodyguards immediately stopped the reporters.
"Girl, why are you standing there? Carry it." The owner handed over the fruit.
Only then did Jian Mo come to her senses.
Qingying caught a cold and was frightened, so she is still in the hospital for observation. As a rich lady, she is very unrestrained in the VIP ward, playing games and eating steak.
Xu Ming grabbed Jian Mo and asked, "Do you still know such a friend?"
Jian Mo was puzzled: "She... is difficult to deal with?"
Xu Ming nodded. "The nurse said everyone who came to visit her was kicked out, and the things they brought with them were thrown out of the window, hitting passersby. It was just a superficial injury, so she waved her hand and compensated them with 20,000 yuan."
