Chapter 425: Thousand-Mile Horse
"Haha, you think you can do whatever you want just because you have capital?! We may not have the power, but we can unite and put pressure on everyone. We must tell the truth about that dead girl!"
"I don't believe this kind of scumbag would only attack one girl. There must be other victims. This poor girl just happened to have a mental breakdown, so she chose to end her life to expose the true face of Huo the scumbag!"
"I now suspect that perhaps all the attractive female employees of the Huo family have been harassed by Huo Yunting. I suggest the police investigate each one thoroughly!"
Looking at the comments scolding Huo Yunting, Xiao Muzhen's face turned extremely cold.
She dialed a number and said in a deep voice, "Do me a favor."
Ten minutes later, Weibo's server crashed.
Xiao Muzhen looked at the phone screen showing 404, exited the software, and called Ke Ning.
"Is Huo Yunting detained now? Has he hired a lawyer?"
"Ms. Chi, my lawyer and I are following up at the police station. I'll tell you the details later."
Ke Ning's tone was very anxious, and he hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and asked Long Tian to find out which police station Huo Yunting was detained in.
Half an hour later, when Ke Ning saw Xiao Muzhen appear at the police station, he couldn't help but frown.
When Huo Yunting was taken away by the police, he was specifically told not to tell Xiao Muzhen which police station he was in. Unexpectedly, Xiao Muzhen found out by herself.
"Miss Xiao..."
"How is he now?"
Ke Ning's face turned grim. "Things might be a little tricky. The police found some evidence against Mr. Huo at the workstation of the employee who committed suicide. My lawyer is still communicating with the police to see if they can get him released on bail."
Xiao Muzhen's expression was icy. "Have you investigated that employee? Who has she been in contact with recently?"
"Not yet..."
Seeing Ke Ning's serious expression, Xiao Muzhen did not blame him. After all, he had followed Huo Yunting for so long, it was normal for him to suddenly panic when encountering such a thing.
She dialed Long Tian's number and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a name. Find out what she has done in the past three months and who she has met with."
On the other side, President Jin Yue’s office.
Huo Tianyi, Chi Xuan and Chi Zhen sat on the sofa, all with smug smiles on their faces.
Chi Zhen couldn't help but give Huo Tianyi a thumbs-up and said with satisfaction, "Boss Huo, you're amazing. This move not only sent Huo Yunting to jail, but also diverted the public's attention. Those people online have finally stopped hounding the Chi Group's official Weibo account to complain."
Thinking of the guilt and fear he felt when he was scolded for being unfit to be a father and asked to boycott Chi’s products because of the Weibo post posted by Xiao Muzhen, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
But when he thought of Huo Yunting going in, he laughed again.
Huo Tianyi had an indifferent expression and looked at Chi Zhen with contempt. If it weren't for the fact that he was his daughter's grandfather and was still useful to him, Huo Tianyi would have ignored him at all.
"Mr. Chi, don't forget what you promised me when I promised to help Chi Corporation. If there are no concrete actions, I can withdraw my investment in Chi Corporation at any time."
Upon hearing this, Chi Zhen's face suddenly changed. Previously, the Huo and Xiao families had been suppressing the Chi family for Xiao Muzhen. If the Chi family lost Huo Tianyi's investment, not only would it not be able to develop in the capital, it might even go bankrupt!
He forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I will do it as soon as possible."
"Then I'll wait and see how Mr. Chi performs."
He picked up the red wine in front of him and drank it all, then looked at Chi Xuan and said, "We'll be at work soon. You and President Chi should leave first. It's not good for people in the company to see us."
After Chi Xuan and Chi Zhen left, Huo Tianyi called his secretary in.
"How's Huo Yunting doing?"
"Mr. Huo, he is still detained at the police station, but if there is no stronger evidence, he should be released on bail today."
Huo Tianyi curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, his eyes full of hatred and cruelty.
"Don't worry about it for now. Have Zhuang Manman's parents and relatives taken her here?"
"We've arrived and are now guarding the police station entrance."
"Well, for prey, killing it with one blow is meaningless. The most fun is to give it hope again and again, and then make it despair."
Looking at Huo Tianyi's sinister smile, Chang Heng couldn't help but remind him, "Boss Huo, I hope you don't forget that my master wants the secret key. As for the grudge between you and Huo Yunting, we can settle it later."
Huo Tianyi lowered his eyes, his eyes were cold.
"I understand. Go back to work! Remember to send someone to continue negotiating with Huo's shareholders. If we can't reach an agreement, I will bankrupt Huo's!"
"OK."
After Chang Heng left, a cold look flashed in Huo Tianyi's eyes.
He felt uncomfortable with the feeling that someone was watching him all the time.
But now he still has to use the poisonous scorpion to take revenge on Huo Yunting. After dealing with Huo Yunting, he will slowly get rid of those annoying people around him.
Huo Yunting's lawyer negotiated with the police for several hours and finally succeeded in getting Huo Yunting released on bail.
Seeing Xiao Muzhen, Huo Yunting's cold eyes instantly turned to Ke Ning beside him, "Didn't I tell you not to let her know where I was detained?!"
Xiao Muzhen spoke up to help Ke Ning out. "Don't blame him. He's been busy with your affairs. Besides, I checked it myself. Secretary Ke didn't tell me!"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Don't you have to go to work today? I'll ask Ke Ning to take you there."
Unexpectedly, at this time, he didn't care about herself, but was worried about her work. Xiao Muzhen was really angry and distressed.
"I've taken a day off today. I'll help you sort this out."
"No, I can handle it myself, and I don't want to involve you in this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Muzhen looked at him dissatisfiedly, "When you are fine, I am with you, but when you are in trouble, I stay away from you? Who do you think I am?!"
"I don't want this to affect you, Zhenzhen. Be obedient, I will definitely be able to handle it."
Xiao Muzhen shook off his hand and said coldly: "Since you don't want me to deal with it with you, there is no need for us to be together!"
In her heart, two people who are together should share the joys and sorrows and face everything together no matter what happens. However, Huo Yunting pushed her away at this time, making her feel that she was insignificant to him.
Seeing Xiao Muzhen was about to leave, Huo Yunting hurriedly grabbed her, his tone somewhat helpless.
"Okay, but you just need to stay next to me and don't have to do anything else."
Xiao Muzhen was still a little unhappy, and nodded, "I understand."
Seeing that the two had reconciled, the lawyer dared to step forward, "Mr. Huo, Zhuang Manman's family has filed a lawsuit. I need to collect evidence to prove that you did not harass Zhuang Manman. I may need to investigate your recent movements."
