Chapter 246: Sneaking and Playing Trickster
Old Mrs. Huo's face suddenly turned pale, and her hands on the table trembled unconsciously.
"What a misfortune for our family... I was so heartbroken about his parents' death that I wanted to give him half of He Yuanhe's shares. I didn't expect that he would not only drug me so cruelly, but also try to kill your mother!"
Although Mrs. Huo has never liked Cheng Shumin, what Huo Tianyi did is simply unscrupulous!
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "He always believed that my parents killed my uncle and aunt, and you helped cover up the truth, so he hates us and you."
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes were horrified, filled with shock and disbelief.
"Is he... is he crazy? If your parents really killed your uncle and aunt, I would be the first one to not forgive them. He actually still believes those rumors!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "Not long after my uncle and aunt's car accident, one of my father's former subordinates left the country in a hurry. Perhaps he was involved in my uncle and aunt's car accident. We've found the person now, but unfortunately, he's gone insane and we can't get anything out of him."
Old Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth and said, "How could a healthy adult suddenly go crazy?!"
There must be some hidden secret here.
"I've already sent someone to bring him back to China. Whether he's truly crazy or just pretending, we'll know when the time comes."
Mrs. Huo sighed and said with some heartache, "Yun Ting, before I came back, I wanted you to consider our brotherly love and let him go, but now what he has done has violated the bottom line of the law. From now on, you don't have to treat him as your cousin anymore. Whatever his fate is, he brought it upon himself."
These words clearly meant that he didn't want to care about Huo Tianyi anymore.
Huo Yunting nodded, "Grandma, I know what to do."
During this meal, Old Mrs. Huo was full of worry. She didn't know how Huo Tianyi, who had been obedient and sensible since childhood, could become like this.
After dinner, Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen sent Old Mrs. Huo to the villa that Huo Yunting had prepared for her, ordered people to guard the area, and then left.
On the way back, Huo Yunting was silent the whole time. He was still thinking about the box that Xu Ye gave to Chi Muzhen.
Why does she need to take tonic for no reason?
Back at the villa, Huo Yunting finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you take the tonic? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chi Muzhen paused for a moment and looked at him calmly, "When Doctor Xu was treating grandma, he took my pulse and said that I was weak, so he brought me some tonics."
Huo Yunting pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "If you feel unwell, tell me and I'll get a doctor to check you out. Medicines are all toxic, so don't take them carelessly."
Chi Muzhen nodded, and they both returned to their rooms.
After closing the door, Chi Muzhen opened the box and took out the prescription inside. After writing down the types and dosages of the herbs, he folded the prescription and put it in the innermost drawer of the dressing table. Then he took out a pill from the box and swallowed it.
With the medicine from her master, the pain she endured every day was within an bearable range, so when Cheng Shumin was being rescued that day, she was able to stand outside with Huo Yunting all night.
During the time when the pain was severe, she told Huo Yunting that she was going to the bathroom, but it would not attract Huo Yunting's attention.
Once Huo Tianyi's problem is resolved, she will start looking for an antidote to the Hundred Poison Pills.
On the other side, Huo Tianyi’s villa.
He had long been keeping an eye on Huo Yunting's every move, so he soon learned about Mrs. Huo's return.
Knowing that Huo Yunting had arranged Old Madam Huo in one of his villas and even sent people to surround the villa in three layers, Huo Tianyi sneered. He didn't think he could stop him like this, did he?
But now Huo Tianyi has no intention of touching Old Madam Huo. After he takes care of Huo Yunting and Huo Jinsong, won't Old Madam Huo let him do whatever he wants?
Thinking of this, he called Yang Yi.
"How's the progress of your lawsuit against Huo Yunting?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Yang Yi's slightly cold voice came.
"We're doing it, but we have no evidence. At most, we'll detain him for a few days. You don't really think we can convict him, do you?"
Huo Tianyi chuckled, "Of course not, you just need to destroy his reputation, and leave the rest to me."
Yang Yi was somewhat skeptical of Huo Tianyi's ability, and gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Tianyi, you'd better really help me get revenge, otherwise the Yang family and the Bai family will not let you go!"
Huo Tianyi's eyes turned cold when he heard this, but his voice remained gentle, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Tianyi curled up the corners of his mouth in a sneer.
He doesn't even take the Yang family and the Bai family seriously.
What's more, he knew about the affair between Yang Yi and Old Master Bai. If this matter were to be exposed, the Yang and Bai families would probably not have the face to stay in Rongcheng anymore. The spit of the people of Rongcheng would be enough to drown them.
He didn't expect that Yang Yi had such a strong taste that even Mr. Bai could eat it.
After instructing his subordinates to keep a close eye on Cheng Shumin and report any situation to him in time, Huo Tianyi got up, left the study, and returned to his bedroom to sleep.
The next morning, when Chi Muzhen just went downstairs, she saw Huo Yunting sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, holding a document in his hand.
"Yun Ting, what's wrong? What's that in your hand?"
Huo Yunting looked up at her, "It's a court summons."
Chi Muzhen frowned and walked quickly to his side, but after taking a look, he sneered.
"She really dares to sue you!"
Huo Yunting's expression was cold. "Don't worry about her."
Chi Muzhen's hand holding the subpoena tightened unconsciously, and he said word by word: "Since she dared to do this, let her remember it well!"
"Zhenzhen, don't worry about this matter. I can handle it myself."
Chi Muzhen looked at him in surprise, "Are you afraid that I'll suffer a loss?"
"No, you're already exhausted from managing the company, and I don't want you to worry about me anymore."
Moreover, he had already made up his mind to just make the Yang family disappear from Rongcheng. He didn't want to spend time on this matter.
As long as Chi Muzhen believed in him, he didn't care what others said about him.
"As long as it's your business, I won't be bothered. Okay, leave it to me."
Seeing her insistence, Huo Yunting had no choice but to nod.
If she couldn't handle it well, he would just take action.
After breakfast, Chi Muzhen left the villa.
But she didn't go to MY, but went directly to Yang Yi.
When he saw her, Yang Yi had a smug smile on his face.
"Chi Muzhen, are you coming to me to beg me to let Huo Yunting go?"
She still hasn't forgotten the day when she and Huo Yunting humiliated her at Mr. Bai's birthday party!
Chi Muzhen's expression was indifferent. She got straight to the point and said, "If you don't want your affair with Mr. Bai to be known to everyone in Rongcheng, withdraw the lawsuit within one day and hold a press conference to explain clearly whether Huo Yunting harassed you!"
The color on Yang Yi's face quickly faded, and he became as pale as paper in an instant.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about?! Chi Muzhen, I'm going to sue you for spreading rumors...slander, and I'm going to rip your mouth off!"
Yang Yi looked agitated and raised his hand to slap Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen held her hand and stuffed a few photos into her hand with a smile.
"Why not take a look at these photos first."
Just one look at the photo and her face turned completely pale.
After a few seconds of silence, Yang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "How do I know if you are lying to me? What if I clarify and you release these photos again?"
Chi Muzhen chuckled, "Do you have any choice?"
Yang Yi's face became even uglier, and her newly made nails dug into her palms. She hated Chi Muzhen in her heart but could do nothing about it.
"Okay, I promise!"
Chi Muzhen stood up with a smile, "Miss Yang, I'll be waiting for your good news."
After Chi Muzhen left, Yang Yi gritted her teeth and called Mr. Bai.
"That bitch Chi Muzhen knows about us!"
