Chapter 96 Calling Him Cruel
Huo Qichen didn't respond.
Zhao Qian sat on the ground, feeling dispirited, not knowing how much he had heard.
Zhou Liangqi stood up and motioned for someone to take him away before saying, "Qi Chen's forehead is bleeding. Why are you still standing there?"
After he finished speaking, the staff in the box came to their senses and hurriedly began to deal with the situation.
Huo Qichen raised his hand to stop him, and took out a few tissues to wipe it. "It's a minor injury, nothing serious. Why are you here today?"
Zhou Liangqi pulled out a chair and sat down, speaking frankly: "Li Wanli is under investigation, and the people of Wanjing are in turmoil. The funds are disconnected, so I came to get some information. Does Qi Chen really have to take over this mess?"
Huo Qichen crumpled up the blood-stained paper and threw it into the trash can, half-jokingly saying, "Knowing it's a mess, doesn't Liang Qi want to take it over?"
Zhou Liangqi said: "Zhou's branch has completed a secondary financing of up to 1 billion, and its strength is no less than Huo's."
"I know." Huo Qichen pulled out a few more tissues to wipe his hands. "This is indeed good news for the Zhou family, who have just suffered a severe blow. One move can save the whole board. What a good strategy."
Zhou Liangqi added: "Qi Chen, my target is not just Wan Jing."
Huo Qichen just smiled faintly after hearing this, "I heard that you love the white-cut chicken here at Liang Qiu. Did you come here specially to eat it today?"
"You know, I love delicious food and beautiful women the most."
It was late at night and the dew was heavy. The woman at the bar door didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, and her skirt was so short that only the top of her legs was exposed.
Jian Mo stood at the door for a long time, shivering with cold, but she couldn't resist the chill in her heart.
Huo Qichen came out with Liang Qiu, who laughed and shouted, "Sister-in-law, wow, you're injured. Song Keke was carried out. I thought you had won a great victory."
Jian Mo choked and looked around subconsciously, "Don't shout, I won't be responsible if someone hears you."
She was wearing thin clothes and was standing in the wind. Huo Qichen frowned and asked, "Why don't you get in the car and wait?"
She didn't know how to answer, "...I just got out too."
Liang Qiu came forward to examine her expression and quickly understood, "Ah Chen is just unhappy because he's been away from socializing for a while."
His tone was like coaxing a child. Jian Mo was helpless and said, "I don't have it."
Leaving Paradise, the air pressure in the car was very low. Huo Qichen was processing an email on his phone and suddenly asked, "How much did you hear?"
Jian Mo was startled and subconsciously looked up. Seeing his calm expression, he actually knew? "Not much... I wanted to go up to find you and just happened to run into you."
"Where is it hidden?"
"The next box."
Huo Qichen typed quickly with both hands, which was considered as his agreement.
Jian Mo finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Why? There are obviously many ways to bring down the Zhao family, why do you have to start with Zhao Qian? Isn't it too cruel?"
Hearing the word 'cruel', Huo Qichen paused typing. He raised his head, his jaw curved in a superior manner. "You think I'm cruel?"
Jian Mo didn't dare look him in the eye, but the injustice in her heart continued to ferment, "Isn't it? Even though he's a rich second-generation who doesn't care about anything, in his heart, you're a role model and a good brother. Anyone can do it, but you can't. Yet, you personally sent him to his doom."
"Huo Qichen, don't you have any feelings? Or are you just pretending?"
Huo Qichen turned off his phone and sneered, "You are the first person to talk to me about feelings."
Jian Mo swallowed, she was actually very nervous. "I'm not the first one, there's also Zhao Qian."
Huo Qi Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at her through the dim light, wondering what he was thinking and weighing.
"Then let me tell you, from the first day I met Zhao Qian, he was destined to be my chess piece. Are you satisfied?"
Jian Mo pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, I'm nosy."
In an instant, a large hand came across, pinched her face and made her look straight at him. Huo Qichen's expression was unclear, but very sharp. "Who did you meet today?"
The pain on her face touched the wound, and Jian Mo took a breath, but she didn't scream, gritting her teeth and enduring it. She didn't know why, but at this moment she didn't want to confess, "No one."
He sneered and increased his strength. The wound oozed blood, soaking his fingertips. "Zhou Liangqi, huh?"
Jian Mo pursed her lips and was unwilling to answer. She was resentful of him.
"What did you say?" He didn't let go.
She said nothing, even though her face hurt.
"I guess he instilled your current thoughts into you," Huo Qichen concluded. "But the reason you listened to him is because you think the same way. You think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, and I only use the people around me. Is that right?"
It hurt so much that Jian Mo's face flushed and she almost suffocated. After a while, she still didn't speak, so he finally relented and let go of her hand. She immediately covered her throat and coughed loudly.
"Xiao Liu, go to the port."
The car turned and drove to another place.
Jian Mo collapsed in the corner. She touched her face and it was cold.
Haicheng is close to the sea and has several ports for cargo transportation, which is an important place for the city's economic growth.
Huo Qichen's Porsche drove all the way in. Surrounded by tall containers, the atmosphere was depressing. The appearance of this car seemed out of place. The headlights shone on the ground like a sharp blade, making it look white.
He got out of the car first. Jian Mo didn't know why he brought her here, so she followed him closely. The night wind at the seaside blew up her coat, and she was so cold that she almost shivered.
The man put his hands in his pockets, standing in the wind with a deep look in his eyes.
There were several large ships parked on the coast, and many workers were busy going up and down, their backs bent by the cargo, working hard for a living.
Soon, a hunched man with yellow teeth from years of smoking came down from one of the boats. He ran down quickly and came to Huo Qichen. "Mr. Huo, why are you here?"
"I stopped by to see when the loading and unloading will be completed."
"Don't worry, don't worry. The construction period will not be delayed. Our brothers will work overtime just to not let you down." The man smiled flatteringly, his eyes fell on Jian Mo with some curiosity.
Xiao Liu handed over a cigarette and said, "Old Dog, Mr. Huo isn't rushing you. He knows it's not easy for the big guys either."
"I understand. If the Huo family hadn't taken over this mess, we would all be starving. We are all very grateful to President Huo." The man called Lao Gou answered immediately, his face full of gratitude.
After talking for a while, Huo Qichen had nothing else to do, so Lao Gou went downstairs to get busy.
Just then, a worker who was carrying goods passed by him and accidentally bumped into him.
"Mr. Huo!" Xiao Liu stepped forward first.
Jian Mo opened her mouth and subconsciously took two steps forward.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." The worker apologized while packing up his things, obviously very scared.
Huo Qichen brushed off the dust with his hands and said without getting angry, "It's okay, you can continue with your work."
The worker thanked him several times before continuing to move the goods.
