Chapter 426 Paper Tiger
Huo Yunting nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Recently, he has been either at the company or at the villa. He doesn't even have the chance to be alone with Zhuang Manman, let alone do anything to her.
However, there must be someone behind this matter, and the most likely person he could think of is Huo Tianyi.
"By the way, go and investigate the recent whereabouts of Huo Tianyi and the people around him. It is very likely that he did this."
The lawyer nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Several people walked out of the police station together, and suddenly a group of people rushed up and surrounded them.
One of the women, with dark skin and a mean face, pointed at Huo Yunting and said, "You are the black-hearted boss who killed my daughter, right?! I won't let you go! Pay me, you must pay me!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, and the aura he exuded startled the woman. However, she quickly sneered, "I'm telling you, without ten million, we won't let you go!"
"Zhuang Manman's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't report her to the police for hanging herself in my company. The fact that it affected my employees is already a good thing. You still want me to compensate you? Dream on!"
As soon as the words fell, the woman started yelling, "Murder! Black-hearted boss, insulting my daughter wasn't enough, he's even suing us. Is there any justice in this world?!"
Everyone rushed forward, staring at Huo Yunting with eager eyes.
Someone angrily said, "Sister-in-law, don't waste your time talking to him. If he refuses to compensate, we'll beat him up and see if he dares to deny it!"
The lawyer sneered, "If you're not afraid of being arrested, just go ahead and do it!"
"Don't think threatening us will work. Our child worked at your company and committed suicide for no apparent reason. Even if it means jail time, we're going to demand justice!"
"That's right, beat him up! Beat him to death if he doesn't give me money!"
"Oh, my poor daughter! If I had known she would encounter this kind of thing in college, I should have let her drop out of high school and find an honest man to marry!"
…
As they were talking, people in the crowd began to push Huo Yunting and the others, and some men even wanted to take advantage of Xiao Muzhen.
Xiao Muzhen's expression turned cold, and he grabbed the man's hand and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and another man rushed forward and tried to grab Xiao Muzhen, but she kicked him away.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe that Xiao Muzhen was so skilled.
"Go ahead, beat this bitch first!"
The moment she finished speaking, the strong men closest to Xiao Muzhen rushed towards her. However, as soon as they reached Xiao Muzhen, they were beaten to the ground by her and Huo Yunting, unable to get up.
Seeing that she couldn't win, the dark-skinned woman in the lead simply sat down on the ground and began to wail.
"Someone's been beaten! Someone's been beaten in front of the police station. Is anyone doing anything about it? Is there any justice left?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Muzhen angrily, but no one dared to step forward. After all, the people who had rushed forward were still lying on the ground with bruised faces and swollen noses, wailing.
Huo Yunting pulled Xiao Muzhen behind him and whispered, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
The two groups were facing each other, and for a moment the only sound at the police station door was the wailing of the dark-skinned woman.
Her voice was loud and soon attracted the attention of the police, who came out and took them all in to take statements.
After watching the surveillance footage and taking notes, the police let Huo Yunting and the others leave.
As soon as he returned to Huo's, the public relations manager came to see Huo Yunting in a hurry.
"Boss Huo, someone took a photo of you beating up Zhuang Manman's family outside the police station and posted it online. Now everyone's cursing you and the Huo family, and your stock price is plummeting!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "Delete the message! I don't want any photos of this to be leaked!"
The PR manager's face turned grim. "I'm afraid it won't work. Jin Yue's people are behind this and fanning the flames."
Huo Yunting sneered, "Then spread the news that Huo Tianyi had kidnapped my grandmother and second aunt, and deliberately transferred Huo's assets. Oh, and send the evidence to the police."
Originally, he didn't want to touch Huo Tianyi, so as not to alert the enemy, but if he didn't find something for Huo Tianyi to do, he would probably keep a close eye on him.
"Okay, Mr. Huo."
After the PR manager left, Huo Yunting brought Xiao Muzhen to the office, asked Ke Ning to bring her some snacks and drinks, and then went to the meeting.
At the meeting, all the shareholders looked unhappy.
The Huo family was recently discussing a financing project, which had been nearly finalized, with only the signature required. However, due to Huo Yunting's incident, the financing fell through, and the Huo family's assets shrank significantly.
"Mr. Huo, I hope you can give us an explanation for this matter!"
"This morning alone, Huo's stock price has dropped several points. If you, Mr. Huo, can't manage your image, you might as well step down from this position!"
"Many partners have already terminated their contracts recently. Now that this incident has happened, there will definitely be more partners who will terminate their contracts. And the project I recently discussed with Huang's company is probably hopeless!"
Huo Yunting had a cold expression as he glanced coldly at the shareholders below. He sneered at the anger and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"Boss Huo, what are you laughing at?!"
"I just find it funny. Has the Huo Company relied on my image to maintain itself all these years? You're acting like you're facing a major enemy when something like this happens, as if the Huo Company is going bankrupt. All you do is complain. If you have the time, why don't you think about how to change the current situation?"
As he finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.
After a while, a shareholder couldn't help but say, "Mr. Huo, you're the one who caused this trouble. Why should we shareholders cover for you?!"
Huo Yunting looked at the shareholder coldly and spoke slowly, "When I negotiated each cooperation deal, why didn't you say you didn't want the money when you distributed hundreds of billions in dividends at the end of the year? You only want to take advantage and don't want to contribute. How can such a good thing happen?!"
"Besides, I have nothing to do with Zhuang Manman at all. This is just a means for others to deal with the Huo family.
Nothing has happened to the Huo family yet, and you've already started targeting me. If you truly don't trust me, you can sell your shares to me, and I'll buy them back at a price 10% higher than the market price!"
The conference room was silent, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Looking at the shareholders who were like quails, Huo Yunting stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting. If you have time to think about those trivial things, you might as well do your job well!"
After saying that, Huo Yunting left the meeting room directly.
It wasn't until the suffocating atmosphere became relaxed that the shareholders in the conference room all breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the office, Huo Yunting called Ke Ning in and said in a deep voice, "Go and make an appointment with Mr. Huang."
