Chapter 337: The Beauty of Adulthood
Seeing the resistance in Huo Yunting's eyes, Ke Ning was silent for a long time.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Chi..."
"Shut up! I told you it couldn't be her! She must be alive and hiding somewhere, waiting for us to rescue her. Get everyone to search the area immediately and find her!"
"Mr. Huo, the forensic doctor has come to identify her. The necklace she was wearing belonged to Miss Chi, and her figure and other aspects are almost identical to Miss Chi..."
Huo Yunting looked at him coldly, "You also said it was almost! That means there is still a glimmer of hope. Keep looking for her!"
Seeing his excited expression, Koning sighed and did as he said.
Anyway, the DNA of the corpse has been extracted and compared with Chi Muzhen's DNA. I believe the results will be out soon.
By then, even if Huo Yunting didn't want to believe it, he would have to believe it.
The search and rescue operation lasted for three days and three nights, but Chi Muzhen was not found. However, the identification report came out.
Ke Ning handed the appraisal report to Huo Yunting and whispered, "Mr. Huo, this is the appraisal result of the female corpse and Miss Chi's DNA."
Huo Yunting had not slept a wink in the past three days. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked unkempt, which was very different from his usual appearance in a suit and tie.
He took the report with trembling hands and slowly turned to the last page.
After seeing the last line clearly, his body shook and trembled unconsciously, and the hand holding the report suddenly tightened.
"Ke Ning...did I see it wrong? Can you help me take another look..."
Ke Ning took the report, glanced at it, and whispered, "President, you're not mistaken. Miss Chi is indeed... dead."
"How could it be... How could she die..."
Many years later, when Koning recalls the memory of that day, he still feels as if it happened yesterday.
He had followed Huo Yunting for eight years, and that was the first time he saw Huo Yunting cry.
He didn't cry when Huo Yunting was kicked out of the Huo family after a car accident, he didn't cry when he was abandoned by his first love Chi Xuan, he didn't cry when Huo Tianyi schemed against him and he lost everything, and he didn't cry when the Huo family almost went bankrupt.
But the moment he confirmed Chi Muzhen's death, he looked at a loss, like a child who couldn't find his home, and didn't even realize that he was crying.
Huo Yunting sat in Huo's office all night. When Ke Ning went to work the next morning, everything seemed to be back to normal.
Huo Yunting no longer sent anyone to look for Chi Muzhen. Everything returned to the state it was before Chi Muzhen left. Even his work efficiency improved a lot compared to before.
No one dared to mention the name Chi Muzhen in front of Huo Yunting anymore, and these three words became a taboo in the Huo family.
On the day of Chi Muzhen's funeral, Ke Ning hesitated for a long time, but still knocked on the door and walked into Huo Yunting's office.
"Mr. Huo...Today is Miss Chi's funeral. Wouldn't you...want to go and take a look?"
Huo Yunting did not look up, and his expression did not change at all.
"No."
Ke Ning didn't ask any more questions, but just whispered: "We have found Huo Tianyi's whereabouts, and we estimate that we can catch him in a few days."
"Well, I still need to look at some documents. Go out."
The moment he turned around and left, Ke Ning clearly saw that Huo Yunting's hand holding the document was bluish-white, and the document was wrinkled because he used too much force.
Koning sighed slightly in his heart and walked out of the office quickly.
After the office returned to peace, Huo Yunting put down the documents in his hand, slowly closed his red eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheeks.
He rested his arm on his forehead, and in that moment he seemed to have aged a dozen years.
It has been almost half a month since Chi Muzhen was burned to death by Huo Tianyi, but he still cannot accept this fact.
After closing his eyes and leaning back in the chair for a long time, Huo Yunting finally stood up, picked up his coat and quickly left Huo's.
On the other side, Chi Muzhen's funeral.
There were only a few people attending the funeral, including Shen Tian, Xu Ye, and a few employees of MY. No one from the Chi family came.
Chen Tian hugged the ashes, her eyes red as she cursed, "The Chi family is a bunch of ruthless people! Zhenzhen shouldn't have returned to the Chi family in the first place! And Huo Yunting, I heard that Huo Tianyi captured Zhenzhen and that bitch Chi Xuan and asked him to choose who to live, and he chose that bitch Chi Xuan! I better not let me see him again in this life!"
Xu Ye's eyes were also a little red, and his hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into fists.
"When my junior sister swallowed the Hundred Poison Pill to save Old Madam Huo, I was afraid Huo Yunting would let her down. I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag!"
Just as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from the door.
"What Hundred Poison Pills are you talking about?!"
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw Huo Yunting standing at the door. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and looked neatly dressed. It was hard to tell that Chi Muzhen's death had any effect on him.
Shen Tian gritted her teeth and looked at him, "Get lost! Don't come and dirty this place!"
When Shen Tian thought about Huo Yunting giving up Chi Muzhen for that bitch Chi Xuan and killing her, her heart was filled with anger and hatred. If it wasn't Chi Muzhen's funeral at this moment, she would definitely go up and slap him twice to vent her hatred!
Huo Yunting turned a deaf ear to him and walked up to Xu Ye. He stared at him and asked, "What Hundred Poison Pill?"
His eyes were dark, so dark that it was almost impossible to see any emotion.
Xu Ye sneered, "What's the point of Mr. Huo asking now? My junior sister is already dead. Even if I tell you, she won't be able to come back to life."
Huo Yunting looked at him coldly, "Doctor Xu, I give you two choices. One is to tell me the truth, and the other is that your clinic will close tomorrow."
"If Junior Sister knew you were threatening me like this, she would probably regret doing so much for you."
"I'll give you one last chance. If you refuse to speak, don't speak again."
Xu Ye smiled sarcastically and said slowly, "It's okay to tell you. In order to save your grandmother, Junior Sister violated the regulations of the Medicine Valley and forced her way in. Master promised to help her save your grandmother, but at the same time, she was punished by taking the Hundred Poison Pill. This pill takes effect every night in the middle of the night, causing excruciating pain all over the body for an hour. A senior brother once committed suicide because he couldn't bear it anymore."
"Originally, Master made some pills for me to bring to her and gave her a prescription. As long as she took the pills on time every day, her pain would be relieved. But during those two days when Junior Sister was abducted, without the medicine, the effects of the drug that she had previously suppressed would have exploded hundreds or thousands of times. So perhaps death would be a relief for Junior Sister."
Huo Yunting stood there motionless, all the emotions in his eyes quickly faded away, and finally turned into ashes.
It turned out that the box Xu Ye brought her that time contained medicine. It turned out that when Cheng Shumin was undergoing surgery, she disappeared for more than an hour late at night because of a toxic reaction.
She suffered silently every day, but he knew nothing about it.
It started raining heavily outside at some point. Huo Yunting turned around and stumbled into the rain, his back looking lonely and sad.
After Chi Muzhen's funeral, Chen Tian and Xu Ye buried the ashes in a temporary cemetery, stood for a while, and then left.
On the other side, the Chi family.
Chi Xuan has already given birth to the child and is currently recuperating at home.
When she heard that today was Chi Muzhen's funeral, she felt excited. Chi Muzhen was really dead, and no one would compete with her for Huo Yunting anymore!
