Chapter 189 I Suspected It Very Early
As soon as the words fell, Mu Yi suddenly screamed, "There's no turning back, Jian Mo! There's no turning back for me!"
After saying that, she picked up Jian Mo and threw her next to Wen Yuan, "Now I just want to see what choice Huo Qichen will make."
After saying that, the bodyguard watching at the door turned his head and said, "Ms. Mu, Huo Qichen's car has arrived."
Mu Yi raised his head, "He brought people with him?"
He glanced carefully into the distance before answering, "No, I'm alone."
Jian Mo forced her painful limbs to move, raised her head with difficulty and looked outside. The strong light made her squint her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The iron gate was pushed open, and the man strode in, stepping on the residual heat of the sun, accompanied by the long wind. His outline was tall and straight, and his face was extremely gloomy and extremely steady.
Every step he took seemed to step on Jian Mo's heart, making it so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
Mu Yi looked at this figure with an almost crazy expression, almost crying with joy, "Boss Huo...you really came."
Huo Qichen stood not far away, his eyes swept across Jian Mo and paused for a second.
"Didn't you ask me to come?" He reached out to unbutton his sleeves, his eyes filled with a poisonous gloom.
"Mr. Huo, are you here for me?" Mu Yi asked cautiously. He knew it wasn't the case, but still held on to ridiculous expectations.
Huo Qi Chen didn't say anything. He casually took off his coat and threw it on the wood beside him. He also took off the ring on his ring finger and put it away carefully.
"It seems not." Mu Yi's smile slowly faded, and then he looked at the two women beside him, "Then, Mr. Huo, which of them did you come for?"
Jian Mo shrank back. She actually began to feel a little scared. She shouldn't have any expectations of Huo Qichen's answer.
Huo Qichen looked at him as if he were a stranger. "What do you want?"
"I want to know when you started to suspect that I was the one who did it." Even now, she still couldn't change the way she addressed Huo Qi Chen.
"It started a long time ago, since you deleted all the calls from my personal phone." They didn't say who was calling, but both of them knew it.
Mu Yi shook her head in disbelief. "I've followed you for so many years, and you can guess that I have ulterior motives based on just one small detail?"
"More than that." Huo Qichen's tone was calm. "Not many people knew about the incident at the construction site. Even the company's top management didn't know about it. Yet you pointed the finger at Jian Mo, especially at a time when I don't trust her that much. Isn't that strange?"
He is a very suspicious man. When everything seems flawless, he can see bigger flaws.
"Mu Yi, I didn't want to doubt you." Huo Qi Chen stared at her, "You are my trusted confidant who I cultivated."
The fact that he could say such words showed that he was of high status. Mu Yi's eyes were filled with tears. "But just because I threatened Jian Mo, you want to sideline me? Huo Qichen, I was loyal to you!"
"Really?" Huo Qichen said sternly, "How do you explain the photos of Zhou Liangqi and Jian Mo? And who is your third party? Do you dare to tell me?"
It turns out he knew.
Mu Yi avoided his gaze, feeling guilty, "I didn't!"
"What do you want?" Huo Qi Chen was too lazy to waste words with her.
Mu Yi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She gave the bodyguard a look, and the latter immediately dragged Wen Yuan to a suspended area on the side and tied her hands to the steel bars with a hemp rope. Her slender figure suddenly became shaky. If she was not careful, she would fall from the second floor and be crippled if not dead.
Mu Yi pulled out a knife and put it against Jian Mo's throat, a look of crazy pleasure appearing on her face.
"Huo Qichen, you can only save one of the two people." Mu Yi sneered, "If you choose Wen Yuan, I will immediately cut Jian Mo's aorta. If you choose Jian Mo, Wen Yuan's rope will be cut immediately and she will fall down."
"Well, is this an easy choice to make?"
The tip of the knife was against her throat, and Jian Mo felt a stinging pain. She gasped and looked at the man in front of her with a cold look in his eyes, not even knowing what to say.
Huo Qi Chen looked at her, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Mr. Huo, I know your skills, but you can try to see who is faster, you or my sword." Wen Yuan also had people guarding her side, and Huo Qi Chen was alone, so he couldn't take care of both sides.
"Do you like me?" Huo Qichen suddenly asked, and Mu Yi subconsciously avoided the question, "I'm letting you make a choice!"
"Do you really like me?" He chuckled, revealing a charm that was inappropriate for the occasion. "If you had told me earlier, the position of Mrs. Huo would have been yours. How would I have known if you hadn't told me?"
Mu Yi stared at him with love in her eyes. The knife she was holding was shaking, and it cut Jian Mo's skin. She endured the pain.
"You mean, if there's no Jian Mo, then it's me?"
"Of course, I chose to get married at that time, but I just needed a woman to marry, anyone would be fine." Huo Qichen took small steps forward, and his tone of voice was convincing.
Mu Yi showed his vigilance, "But you clearly said before..."
"Our relationship is just that of a superior and a subordinate, so of course I have to say that. But now it's different. I really don't have any feelings for her. If you had told me earlier that you liked me, you would have definitely been able to get the upper hand."
There really was no emotion. Jian Mo felt anxious and sighed secretly, Huo Qichen was really a master of PUA.
Mu Yi pulled Jian Mo back step by step, still full of suspicion, "You are cheating. The Huo Qichen I know would not come here unprepared. Did you call for help? Did you call the police?"
She immediately sent someone outside to check, screaming and tightening her grip on the knife, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Huo Qichen stopped moving forward, his face darkening.
"I didn't call the police."
The bodyguard came back to check and said that he indeed did not see anyone following them.
Mu Yi relaxed a little and took a deep breath. "Choose. On one side is your legitimate Mrs. Huo, and on the other side is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. I'm very curious about your choice. If something happens to Mrs. Huo, the whole of Haicheng will know tomorrow that you, Huo Qichen, are widowed. If something happens to the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the Wen family will definitely not let you go, including the Huo family."
"For a man like you who prioritizes profit, this is such a difficult choice. Mr. Huo, I'm really worried about you."
Huo Qichen raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Jian Mo. In her burning and terrified gaze, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Huo!"
Unexpected, sudden.
Wen Yuan woke up, shaking violently in mid-air, her whole body showing fear, "Why am I here, Brother Huo, save me!"
Her originally cold and beautiful face showed extreme fear. She looked here with wide eyes. Her whole body was shaking, crying and calling for Brother Huo and for help.
Such crying voice made even Jian Mo's heart shrink.
"Xiaoyuan!" Veins bulged on the back of Huo Qichen's hands, and he ran a few steps towards her worriedly.
Jian Mo closed her eyes and smiled bitterly.
