Chapter 244: Pestle and Mortar
It took him a while to find his voice again.
"You...why are you asking about him suddenly?"
"The car accident involving my uncle and aunt might be related to him. Now Huo Tianyi believes that you are the murderer, and the next target is you. If we can find Zhongjun, we might be able to find out the truth."
Huo Jinsong was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Even if you find Zhongjun, it's useless."
Huo Yunting frowned, "What do you mean?"
"He's been crazy for several years and has been in a sanatorium in Country F. I went to see him once when I was abroad, but he didn't recognize me. I'm afraid it's impossible to get anything out of him."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. Do you still remember the specific address and name of that sanatorium?"
"Remember, I'll write it to you later, but don't get your hopes up."
Soon, after getting the address of the sanatorium, Huo Yunting left.
Huo Jinsong lost his appetite and sat at the dining table for a long time. After changing his clothes, he left the old house.
He went directly to Huo's.
When Huo Tianyi saw him, his eyes were cold, "Second Uncle, what do you want to see me for?"
Huo Jinsong sat down opposite him and sighed, "Tianyi, your parents' car accident really has nothing to do with me and your second aunt. Even if I want to get the Huo Group, I would never do something to kill my eldest brother and his wife."
Huo Tianyi sneered, "I don't believe a word you say, please leave."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to read the documents, saying coldly: "Show me away!"
Huo Jinsong stood there for a while, and finally turned around and left.
It was not until the office door was closed that Huo Tianyi slowly tightened his grip on the document, his eyes cold.
Late at night, Huo Tianyi returned to the villa and frowned unconsciously when he saw Chi Xuan still awake.
"Going to bed early is good for the fetus, why are you staying up late?"
Chi Xuan found it a little funny. Huo Tianyi had wanted her to have an abortion before, but now his attitude had suddenly changed so much. He couldn't really want her to give birth to the child, right?
She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.
This child is destined not to come into this world.
"I’m waiting for you."
Huo Tianyi paused, "What's the matter?"
"Um."
Chi Xuan looked up at him and said slowly, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. I want to go back to be with her, so I won't be back tomorrow night."
Huo Tianyi looked indifferent and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare a gift and send it over tomorrow."
"knew."
After saying this, Chi Xuan turned around and was about to leave when Huo Tianyi suddenly called her.
"By the way, how much do you know about Chi Muzhen?"
Chi Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't understand why he suddenly asked about Chi Muzhen. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a good relationship with her. Why are you asking her?"
"It's okay, go and rest."
Looking at Huo Tianyi's leaving back, Chi Xuan's eyes flashed and she turned back to the bedroom.
Huo Yunting's men acted quickly and found Zhong Jun the next morning, and sent him a video.
In the video, Zhongjun looked haggard, with a silly smile on his face and drool flowing from the corners of his mouth. The only words he uttered were "eat...eat...my stomach aches..." He looked exactly like a two-year-old child.
Huo Yunting's expression turned extremely ugly, and he kept a gloomy face when he went downstairs to have breakfast.
Noticing that something was wrong with him, Chi Muzhen looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad so early in the morning?"
"Zhongjun was found, but he has gone crazy."
Chi Muzhen frowned. How could a healthy person suddenly go crazy?
"Have you found out the reason why he went crazy?"
Huo Yunting shook his head. "Not yet, but judging from the video my men sent, I don't think we'll get anything out of them."
"Show me the video."
After watching the video, Chi Muzhen remained silent. It was impossible for an adult man to suddenly become so stupid. Either he was pretending to be stupid, or it was artificial.
Either of these two possibilities indicates that someone wants to cover up the fact that Huo Tianyi's parents died.
The two did not discuss the matter anymore. After breakfast, Chi Muzhen took Huo Yunting to work at MY.
Seeing Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen coming to the company together, Shen Tian was shocked and quickly pulled Chi Muzhen aside.
"Why did you bring Huo Yunting to MY?"
Chi Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at her, then smiled and said, "He has extensive experience in managing companies and subordinates, so I asked him to come to MY to help me for a while."
Chen Tian frowned and whispered, "Zhenzhen, do you know that rumors are circulating that Huo Yunting sexually harassed Yang Yi and beat Huo Tianyi in public? Everyone seems to be avoiding him when they talk about him. If you bring him to the company now, it will have a negative impact on the company."
The smile on Chi Muzhen's face gradually faded. Looking at Chen Tian, he spoke slowly and clearly, "Do you also think he is the person who sexually harassed Yang Yi and beat Huo Tianyi for no reason?"
Realizing that Chi Muzhen was unhappy, Shen Tian sighed.
"No, it's just that I'm a shareholder of MY and I have to consider the company's image."
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "He has done nothing wrong, and there is no need to worry about those rumors. If there are any problems, I will take responsibility for them myself."
Seeing Chi Muzhen's determined expression, Chen Tian didn't try to persuade her anymore, probably because it was useless.
The news that Chi Muzhen asked Huo Yunting to be her personal assistant spread quickly. In order to please Huo Tianyi, some partners immediately sent people to terminate the contract with MY.
What’s funny is that some of them had previously cooperated with the Huo family and benefited from it.
Xu Qing came to see Chi Muzhen several times in the afternoon, and his expression was gradually getting anxious, but he couldn't say it directly in front of Huo Yunting, so he could only secretly send an email to Chi Muzhen, telling her that another partner wanted to terminate the contract.
Huo Yunting was such a perceptive person that he noticed Xu Qing looking at him from time to time, and he also knew that what he was talking about with Chi Muzhen was related to him.
The next time Xu Qing came in, Huo Yunting said calmly, "Secretary Xu, is there something wrong with me coming to work at MY?"
As soon as the words fell, before Xu Qing could answer, Chi Muzhen spoke first: "Just continue working, don't worry about anything else."
Huo Yunting stood up and walked to Chi Muzhen's desk. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. "I came here to help you. If this causes trouble for MY, it's best for me to leave now."
Chi Muzhen frowned, knowing that if she didn't tell the truth, Huo Yunting would definitely turn around and leave immediately.
She glared at Xu Qing and said, "You go out first."
Xu Qing also felt aggrieved. Who would have thought that so many partners would want to terminate the contract?
When there were only two people left in the office, Chi Muzhen looked at him and said, "Several partners want to terminate their contracts with MY."
"Because of me?"
"Yes and no. Some of these partners don't want to continue cooperating with MY, and some just want to curry favor with Huo Tianyi. It's a good thing to terminate the contract with these fence-sitters as soon as possible."
Huo Yunting frowned and said in a deep voice, "The main reason is that I came to MY to work. I will pack up and leave soon."
"don't want!"
Chi Muzhen stood up excitedly, walked over to him and grabbed his wrist, "You are not allowed to leave!"
Seeing the stubbornness on Chi Muzhen's face, Huo Yunting was stunned for a moment. He rarely saw her look so childish.
"Zhenzhen, my leaving is a good thing for both you and MY."
Now that he has a bad reputation, if they continue to have an affair outside, it will have an impact on both her and MY.
Chi Muzhen looked at him seriously and said, "If I were to draw a line between myself and you now, what difference would that make me any different from those who wrongly accused you without knowing the truth? You are innocent. I will endure all those rumors with you until the day the truth comes out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly embraced by Huo Yunting.
