Chapter 254 A Wind Blows
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, if I tell you this now, will you still rescue me?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise I can rescue you and let you in again!"
Mr. Liu's eyelids twitched, a piercing chill surged to the soles of his feet, and his body trembled unconsciously.
He knew very well that Huo Yunting always kept his word.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. I promise you won't regret saving me."
The two reached an agreement, and Huo Yunting left with his lawyer.
Leaving the police station, the lawyer couldn't help but frown and said, "Mr. Huo, economic crimes can be big or small. Mr. Liu illegally raised hundreds of millions of yuan, which is a huge amount. It will probably be difficult to bail him out."
Huo Yunting looked indifferent and said in a cold voice, "I know. You just need to do your part. I will take care of the rest."
After the lawyer left, Huo Yunting called Ke Ning.
"Go investigate Mr. Liu's illegal fundraising. I want to know the whole story and find a way to get him out! If you can find evidence to prove that Huo Tianyi did it, hand it over to the police directly."
After giving these instructions, Huo Yunting drove away.
When he returned to the villa, Huo Yunting was a little surprised to find six dishes and a soup on the table.
"You left work early today?"
Chi Muzhen placed the bowl on the table and said with a smile, "No, Zhen Yan recently finished filming and came over to play. She's been being followed by paparazzi lately, so it's not convenient for her to eat out. She ordered food from the restaurant and had it delivered directly to her."
"Where is she?"
Huo Yunting knew about Zhen Yan. After all, Liang Zixuan almost fell out with his family because of her, but for some reason, Liang Zixuan never mentioned her again.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, looked up at Huo Yunting and said, "She went next door to invite Shi Yiheng to come have dinner together."
While speaking, Chi Muzhen had been observing Huo Yunting's expression. Seeing him frown, she quickly said, "I wanted to refuse this, but today is her birthday. If you are unhappy, can we go out to eat alone?"
Huo Yunting said calmly, "No need."
It just so happened that he also planned to talk to Shi Yiheng.
Previously, he asked Ke Ning to give Shi Yiheng the TV series and movies he invested in to choose from, but he refused them all, obviously not intending to let him repay his favor on behalf of Chi Muzhen.
But whether he wants it or not, Huo Yunting is determined to repay this favor.
Seeing that he showed no signs of being angry, Chi Muzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. She planned to apologize to him and coax him after Zhen Yan and Shi Yiheng left.
Soon, Zhen Yan and Shi Yiheng walked into the villa together.
Zhen Yan and Shi Yiheng have recently collaborated on many dramas, and they get along well with each other and have now become good friends.
Chi Muzhen introduced Huo Yunting to Zhen Yan, and then they sat down to eat.
Because Zhen Yan was there, the atmosphere wasn't particularly awkward.
She discussed their new drama with Shi Yiheng, then couldn't help but joke, "You've taken the cast off your foot now. When are you going to join the crew? The director is waiting for you. But which drama did you get injured in? I remember reading the script for your previous drama, and it didn't seem like there were any scenes requiring wirework."
Shi Yiheng lowered his eyes and whispered, "It was added temporarily."
"All right."
No one noticed that when Zhen Yan asked that question, Huo Yunting's hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously tightened.
During the meal, apart from Zhen Yan and Shi Yiheng talking about their upcoming new drama, Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting hardly spoke.
Shi Yiheng occasionally looked at Chi Muzhen pretending to be casual. She basically lowered her head and ate quietly while listening to them talk, occasionally picking up some food for Huo Yunting.
A hint of loss flashed in his eyes, and a pain unconsciously spread in his heart.
He wanted her to be happy, but he was not the one who could give her happiness.
After finishing his meal, he stood up and said goodbye.
As I walked out of the villa, a cold voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Actor Shi, I have something to tell you."
Shi Yiheng turned around and met Huo Yunting's cold eyes. There was no trace of retreat or fear in his eyes.
"What does Mr. Huo want to say?"
Huo Yunting walked up to him and said in a low voice, "I'm really grateful to you for saving Zhenzhen. I hope you can accept my thank you gift."
Shi Yiheng chuckled, his eyes full of mockery, "Mr. Huo, are you referring to those scripts?"
Huo Yunting frowned and said in a colder voice, "Mr. Shi, if you want money, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Yiheng sneered and said word by word, "Boss Huo, I don't need your thanks, and please don't insult me with money and scripts. I saved Mu Zhen voluntarily and never thought of getting anything in return!"
Huo Yunting was about to speak when Chi Muzhen's voice came from behind him, "Yunting, what are you talking about?"
As he spoke, Chi Muzhen had already walked up to the two of them, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
After all, Huo Yunting had misunderstood the relationship between her and Shi Yiheng before, and she knew that he had never liked Shi Yiheng.
Shi Yiheng smiled and said, "Nothing. I recently had a new play invested by Huo's company, and Mr. Huo asked if I was interested in participating."
"real?"
Chi Muzhen's eyes were full of suspicion. Would Huo Yunting introduce a job to Shi Yiheng?
"Well, it's cold outside. You can go back now. You don't have to see me off."
After saying that, Shi Yiheng turned around and left.
Huo Yunting stared at his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chi Muzhen, who was standing by, took his arm and whispered, "Yun Ting, he and I are really just friends. Don't bother him."
Huo Yunting nodded, "Okay."
He agreed so readily that Chi Muzhen found it incredible, and her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly unconsciously.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "I'm just a little surprised. You always got upset when I mentioned Shi Yiheng before."
Huo Yunting looked down at her, his eyes full of seriousness. "That's because I didn't understand your feelings before. Now I know you like me, so naturally you won't care about other men."
Chi Muzhen blushed, and then couldn't help laughing.
"I'm glad you know."
"Zhenzhen, I will cherish you in the future and will never make you sad again."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, snorted coldly and said, "If you don't cherish me, I won't wrong myself to stay with you."
Huo Yunting held her hand tightly and said, "No."
The two turned around and were about to enter the villa when they saw Zhen Yan walking out in a hurry.
"Zhenzhen, something suddenly happened to me, so I won't be back tonight."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, "But I haven't given you the birthday present yet."
"I'll ask Sister Hong to come get it tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhen Yan drove away in a hurry.
Chi Muzhen frowned, feeling a little worried. It was so late, what could have happened that could make Zhen Yan leave in such a hurry?
"Yun Ting, can you have someone follow Zhen Yan and see where she goes? I'm a little worried about her."
Huo Yunting glanced down at her and said with a smile, "She's going to look for Liang Zixuan. She'll be fine, don't worry."
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, "Aren't they no longer in contact?"
