Chapter 177 Loss of Trust
Jian Mo watched and her heart became calmer and calmer. Even though it was her first time encountering such a situation, she could realize that she was being tricked.
Obviously, it doesn't feel good to be scolded by others.
Gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person.
Xiao Chen didn't hear Jian Mo's voice for a long time, and couldn't help shouting: "Jian Mo, Jian Mo? Are you still there?"
"Here." Jian Mo returned the phone to Zhou Liangqi. "I can only say that if someone wanted to blackmail me, then she did it."
Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable. "How about I find someone to help you check the IP address of the blogger?"
"No, we definitely won't be able to find out. Let's not waste our efforts." Jian Mo was terrifyingly calm. "Thank you, Xiao Chen."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the man in front of her in the backlight.
He frowned, "Look at what I'm doing."
"Is it you?" she asked seriously. "They're apparently targeting me, but they've brought the Huo family along with them. Of all the people I know, you're the only suspect."
"Your reason doesn't seem to hold water."
"So I hope you can tell me."
He answered seriously: "I said it wasn't me, do you believe it?"
He was right. Even if he said so, Jian Mo didn't believe it. She retracted her gaze and said, "Your trust in me has been exhausted."
Zhou Liangqi nudged his cheek with the tip of his tongue, glanced around, and then got into the car. "What on earth did Huo Qichen say to you?"
The top floor of the Huo family.
When the man came out of the meeting, the clock pointed to 9:30 in the evening.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, it was pitch black.
Huo Qichen was holding his coat, wearing only a white shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, his aura still radiating.
The secretary was browsing her iPad when she saw him coming out and immediately followed him, "Mr. Huo."
Huo Qichen handed her his coat and walked forward with a steady pace. His voice was low and deep, "Is she back?"
The secretary understood who he was talking about and said, "Not yet."
Huo Qichen paused and frowned slightly.
The secretary handed over the iPad at the right time and said, "Mrs. Huo is in trouble."
The man stared at the content on the iPad, browsing it quickly. The page was full of comments under the design draft Weibo. The discussion volume continued to rise, and all the words were maliciously slandering Jian Mo.
A fierce look flashed across Huo Qichen's deep black eyes, then disappeared in an instant, his face as pale as water. "Have you found out who did it?"
"not yet."
She thought Huo Qichen wouldn't get so angry for his beloved, and would be moved no matter what. But she didn't expect this reaction, as if it had nothing to do with her.
The secretary asked cautiously, "Boss Huo, shouldn't we help her?"
"Need not."
Huo Qichen put his hands in his pockets and stopped at the door of his office. He raised his eyes and looked inside, then paused. He felt like something was pressing on his heart and wanted to find an outlet to relieve it.
But he actually rejects this emotion.
Huo Qichen came back to his senses and made a quick decision. He handed the iPad back to the secretary and said coldly, "Get rid of these messy things and don't let me see them again."
Her eyes lit up, "Yes."
Even though he is cold-hearted, he still protects others, and it is a very petty way of protecting them.
When she passed by the secretary's office, she turned a corner and slipped in, quickly patting her colleague's desk. "Boss Huo said he doesn't want to see this mess anymore! Congratulations, you have to work overtime again tonight."
The other party wailed, "Ever since Assistant Mu left, the workload is simply too much for a human to handle!"
"Shh!" The secretary quickly looked outside, "Don't let President Huo hear this."
The other party immediately shut up, and then asked cautiously: "Actually, I still don't understand, what happened to Mu Yi, what did she do wrong, why does Mr. Huo drive her like this."
Everyone saw Mu Yi and Huo Qi Chen's collaboration, and they really didn't understand why the special assistant was suddenly sidelined. To put it nicely, he was sidelined, but in fact, he was not far from being fired.
"I don't know. It's better not to ask about these things."
…
Zhou Liangqi brought Jian Mo back to the teahouse. The owner saw him coming back with a woman by his side, and his eyes lit up. "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Bring a pot of green tea."
He looked at Jian Mo and said, "Okay."
In the antique-style box, one could see the hustle and bustle of traffic on the street outside, but Jian Mo was absent-minded. "Why did you bring me in? I want to go back to the Huo family now."
"Check the surveillance?" Zhou Liangqi poured her a cup of steaming hot tea.
"Yeah." She looked at him.
"You guessed it was someone on the inside."
“Only insiders can get my drawings.”
"Since you are an insider, you must be able to erase all traces of surveillance. Will it be useful for you to go back now?" Zhou Liangqi's unhurried rebuttal made Jian Mo's thoughts come to an abrupt halt.
He was right, the surveillance camera would definitely not find anything.
Jian Mo calmed down and thought seriously about who in the design department hated her. It seemed that there were some, but they were just some small quarrels that were obvious. Except for Xiao Chen, no one knew that she had participated in the Golden Bund Awards.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't anxious. She opened her phone to see how public opinion was developing, but when she clicked on it, she found that the entry had disappeared. No one was discussing this matter?
Jian Mo frowned, logged out and refreshed the page again, but still saw nothing.
"Give me your phone."
Zhou Liangqi took out his cell phone and put it in her hand.
Jian Mo repeated the steps, but still didn't see anything.
"The trending search is gone." She said in a daze.
"These remarks have endangered the Huo family. The public relations department will handle it." Zhou Liangqi understood. "It means that the Huo family still wants to protect you." He stared at the changing expression on the woman's face.
Jian Mo is so smart. If Huo hadn't taken action, she might not have had any clue. But now she suddenly figured it out. Huo Qichen was so determined to hide it for her. Was it not because he was afraid that she would be attacked, but because he was afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes would be found?
The phone in my hand vibrated, and several messages popped up one after another.
——Tomorrow is visiting day, would you like to go?
— Bring some summer clothes for your father; the weather is getting hotter.
Jian Mo took a subconscious glance and realized that it was Zhou Liangqi's phone. She was a little surprised and handed the phone back.
"Feel sorry."
Zhou Liangqi glanced at him and said indifferently, "The time we met in the south of the city, I went to visit him in prison."
Jian Mo frowned, and finally understood why Huo Qi Chen had said at the time that it was time.
"Your father?"
"Well, twenty years."
Twenty years is not a low number. Jian Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip to ease her tension. "Is it a criminal case or not?"
"The charge of economic fraud." Zhou Liangqi played with his mobile phone, his eyes deep.
Economic fraud. This type of case is too complicated. For someone with this much wealth, once they commit a crime, there is no turning back.
Jian Mo didn't ask any more questions. She propped up her chin and asked, "Zhou Liangqi, is this why you're dealing with Huo Qichen?"
He showed surprise and looked at her carefully, "Do you know the whole story?"
