Chapter 506: Care Notes
Xiao Zhuan was worried that she would do something impulsive, so he quickly called Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Huo, this is Xiao Zhuan. My father was taken away by the police this morning and can't be released on bail. Zhenzhen knew that the famous lawyer Xie Guan was currently at Jinyue, so she drove straight over. I'm afraid she might do something impulsive. Could you please rush over and stop her now? I have some matters to attend to at the police station and can't come over right away."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Huo Yunting's cold voice came, and before Xiao Zhuan could say anything, the other party hung up the phone.
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen drove very fast all the way, and the car stopped downstairs of Jinyue Building in less than half an hour.
She turned off the engine, opened the car door and was about to walk in when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Xiao Muzhen turned around in shock and saw Huo Yunting looking at her coldly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yun Ting, why are you here?"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything. He dragged her to his car and locked the door before speaking coldly, "Xiao Muzhen, do you even know what you're doing?!"
If he hadn't rushed over just now, who knows what consequences would have been caused after she rushed into Jin Yue.
Xiao Muzhen was stunned by his yelling and frowned: "I came here to find someone, what's wrong?"
"Do you know how dangerous Jin Yue is to you? If you just barge in like that, Jin Yue's people can just call the police and have you arrested!"
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Muzhen said coldly: "Did my third brother tell you why I came to Jinyue?!"
"If he hadn't told you, you might have been arrested by Jin Yue's men by now."
Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath and looked at Huo Yunting with cold eyes. "Since you knew my purpose, you shouldn't have stopped me. Besides, you didn't even ask me what I planned to do. How did you know I was going to force my way in?!"
Meeting Xiao Muzhen's questioning gaze, Huo Yunting's brows furrowed even deeper. "Zhenzhen, it's not that I disagree with you saving Mr. Xiao, but there are other ways you can think of. There's no need to be so impulsive."
Xiao Muzhen sneered, "The one locked up in the police station is my dad, not yours. Of course you can say that so easily."
As she finished speaking, the carriage fell into silence.
The angry expression on Huo Yunting's face gradually disappeared, all his emotions calmed down, and his eyes looking at her were full of disappointment.
"So this is how you thought of me in your heart. Perhaps, from the moment you regained your memory, you stopped believing me."
Xiao Muzhen also realized that her words were a bit hurtful, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize at the moment, so she could only glance away and remain silent.
After a while, Huo Yunting started the car and said calmly, "I'll take you back to the police station. Xiao Zhuan asked me to take you back."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.
They were silent all the way. After Huo Yunting's car stopped in front of the police station, Xiao Muzhen pushed open the door and left without looking back.
Looking at her back, Huo Yunting smiled bitterly, started the car and left.
Hearing the sound of a car driving away, Xiao Muzhen gradually stopped and turned his head slightly to look in the direction where Huo Yunting's car was leaving, until the car disappeared from his sight.
Huo Yunting returned to Huo's with a gloomy face. As soon as he sat down, Su Baitian called.
"Yun Ting, I heard that Xiao Tuo was detained. The Xiao family must be very worried now, right? Especially Xiao Muzhen, who can't help at all."
Huo Yunting frowned and immediately realized what Su Baitian meant.
"Are you sending someone to follow me, or to follow Xiao Muzhen?"
Su Baitian chuckled, "Yes, you are worthy of being my son. I did send someone to follow you. I heard that the Xiao family really wants to meet Xie Guan now."
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "What do you want?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything. But if you want Xie Guan to help the Xiao family, I'm the only one who can do it. Xiao Tuo and I have known each other for so many years, so it wouldn't hurt to do him a small favor. It's a pity... you insist on getting entangled with Xiao Muzhen. I have no choice but to put this account on Xiao Tuo's head."
Huo Yunting suddenly tightened his grip and said coldly, "What do you want me to do by calling you?"
"I originally wanted you to get engaged to Zhenzhen, but when I thought about how you tricked me into taking the secret key by going back to the Su family last time, and then you continued to do as you pleased, I gave up the idea."
"I said, I won't be with any other woman except Xiao Muzhen!"
Su Baitian smiled nonchalantly, "You are still too young. I guarantee that you and her won't last long."
Huo Yunting hung up the phone directly, exuding a cold air.
He and Xiao Muzhen will always be together, and he will never let go of her hand.
Calling his secretary in, Huo Yunting said coldly, "Go contact Xie Guan. I want to meet with him!"
An hour later, the secretary knocked on the door and walked into the office with a grim look on his face.
"Mr. Huo, Xie Guan refused, and from what I heard from him, he's already planning to take over Jin Yue's case."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunting's expression turned extremely ugly, and he said coldly, "Where does he live? I'll go find him myself!"
After getting the address from his secretary, Huo Yunting drove directly there.
When we arrived at Xie Guan's house, Xie Guan had just returned.
When he saw Huo Yunting, he raised his eyebrows and his expression was not very good.
"Mr. Huo, if I remember correctly, I've already clearly rejected your secretary. It's a bit inappropriate for her to keep pestering me, right?"
What he hated most was being forced to do things he didn't want to do.
If Xiao had approached him first, he might have taken over Xiao's agency. Unfortunately, he has now planned to cooperate with Jin Yue.
Huo Yunting said calmly, "Lawyer Xie, I just hope you can give the Xiao family a chance."
Xie Guan sneered, his eyes full of mockery, "There are so many people who come to sue me every day. If I gave every one of them a chance, wouldn't I have died of exhaustion long ago?"
"I know you're not the kind of lawyer with a sense of morality. You act on your heart. How about we make a bet?"
Xie Guan frowned and refused directly, "Sorry, I don't like betting with others."
Huo Yunting curled his lips, "Lawyer Xie thinks you'll lose, so you don't want to bet?"
"Mr. Huo, provoking me won't work. I've decided to cooperate with Jin Yue and won't consider other companies."
"I originally thought that Lawyer Xie just had his own personal style, but I didn't expect that he simply had no moral principles. Is such a person worthy of being a lawyer?"
Huo Yunting's contemptuous tone made Xie Guan's face change, and his eyes became extremely cold.
"Boss Huo, if you speak ill of others before you achieve your goal, it will only make people think you can't afford to lose."
"Lawyer Xie, you should be well aware of how many illegal and criminal things Jin Yue has done privately. Yet you're still willing to help Jin Yue. This proves that you're just a money-grubber with no morals or bottom line. For someone like you to be a lawyer is an insult to the law. I guarantee you'll regret this within three days!"
