Chapter 666: The Way to Make Money
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen turned around and got into the ambulance.
Huo Yunting did not follow. He watched the ambulance leave silently before turning around and getting into his own car.
When he returned to the villa, Koning was waiting for him at the door.
"Boss Huo, the people we sent to protect Miss Xiao are missing. They're probably in grave danger. I just checked the road where Miss Xiao had the accident, but I haven't found any suspicious cars. They must have left from that section of road where there's no surveillance."
"Keep tracking. As long as it appears, it will definitely leave traces."
"yes!"
"How's the investigation going on Man Yue?"
Ke Ning lowered his head guiltily, "There's been no progress so far."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting opened the door and walked into the villa.
"Yun Ting, you're back. I made you a midnight snack. Eat something before you go to sleep."
Seeing Cheng Shumin, Huo Yunting frowned, "How did you get in?"
Cheng Shumin put the dumplings on the table with a smile on her face. "I asked Yiyi for the password. Yiyi wanted to wait for you to come back, but you worked overtime too late, so she went to bed first."
After hearing this, Huo Yunting stopped talking and prepared to find an opportunity to remind Huo Yiyi not to tell the password to anyone else.
Seeing Huo Yunting's indifferent expression, Cheng Shumin's smile froze. "Yunting, I understand that you have a problem with me because of what happened before, but I have really thought it through now. The mother-son relationship we have had for more than 20 years is not fake, so give me a chance to make up for our mother-son relationship, okay?"
"No, you don't need to come here again."
After saying that, he walked directly towards the study.
"Yun Ting... If you don't like me coming over, I won't come over in the future. The dumplings are ready. If you don't want to eat them, just throw them away."
Cheng Shumin took off her apron, lowered her head and walked out.
Even after she walked out of the villa, Huo Yunting didn't call her.
Hearing the door closing, Huo Yunting went straight to the study without even looking at the steaming dumplings on the table.
The next morning, Huo Yiyi washed up and went downstairs. Seeing Huo Yunting sitting at the dining table, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Brother, shouldn't you be going to work at this time?"
Huo Yunting looked at her and said, "I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" Huo Yiyi pointed at herself and said in disbelief, "Do you want to go to work with me?"
Huo Yunting looked at the plate of dumplings on the table and said calmly, "Well, eat the dumplings first."
Huo Yiyi really felt surprised. Today, Huo Yunting not only waited for her to go to work together, but also left breakfast for her.
You know, she usually just buys some bread on the roadside to make ends meet.
"Brother, you are so good to me."
Huo Yiyi was not on guard at all. She pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a dumpling and putting it into her mouth.
Next second.
"Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
She spat the dumpling into the trash can and frowned, "Why is this dumpling cold?!"
"If you want something hot, you should have stayed in the kitchen last night."
No matter how slow she was, Huo Yiyi could tell that something was wrong with Huo Yunting and quickly asked, "What do you mean by 'last night'? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"If you don't understand, then eat all the dumplings. Then maybe you'll understand."
Seeing Huo Yunting's cold face, Huo Yiyi felt uneasy, but she was also really confused.
"I really don't understand what you're talking about. Last night I went to my mom's house for dinner. She said she would take me back, but soon after I got home I felt sleepy and went upstairs to sleep. I didn't do anything!"
Huo Yunting sneered, "But when I came back, Ms. Cheng had just cooked dumplings and brought them out from the kitchen. She said you told her the password to the villa."
Huo Yiyi finally understood why Huo Yunting was so angry, and quickly said, "I didn't give her the password at all! Mom is just talking nonsense!"
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting stood up and said, "I don't like others coming here. This will not happen again. Otherwise, you will move in with them."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After she was the only one left in the villa, she became more and more angry. At the same time, she also realized that her sudden sleepiness last night was not right, so she immediately called Cheng Shumin.
"Mom, why didn't you leave after I went to bed last night? Why did you have to wait until my brother came back? Do you know that he just scolded me?!"
Cheng Shumin paid no attention to her daughter's questioning. She said nonchalantly, "It was quite late when you fell asleep. I saw Yun Ting hadn't come back yet, so I made him a midnight snack. He's my son. Don't I even have the freedom to make him a midnight snack?"
"Then why did you tell him that I gave you the password?!"
"I just said it casually... who knew he would take it so seriously..."
Huo Yiyi: “…”
She took a deep breath and said word by word, "Is there something wrong with the water you gave me last night?"
When she woke up this morning, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Normally, she wouldn't feel sleepy until eleven or twelve o'clock, but last night she felt sleepy at around nine o'clock and fell asleep very quickly.
Combined with what Huo Yunting said this morning, she couldn't help but suspect whether Cheng Shumin had other purposes for sending her back last night. After all, Cheng Shumin had always hoped that she could snatch Huo's company from Huo Yunting, but unexpectedly she hadn't mentioned it again during this period.
She originally thought that Cheng Shumin had figured it out, but now she felt that the other party must be doing something behind her back!
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before Cheng Shumin's voice, filled with disbelief and disappointment, rang out. "Huo Yiyi, I've been so good to you, and you actually suspected me of drugging you. Do you still have a conscience?"
"If you're unwilling to tell the truth, I'll go to the hospital for a physical examination right now. If you really drugged me, it should be detectable by now. I'll then tell my brother about it. What happens to you and Dad is not something I can decide."
As she finished speaking, the other side suddenly fell silent.
Cheng Shumin's silence just confirmed Huo Yiyi's guess.
Her heart suddenly sank. "You sent me back last night and gave me sleeping pills. It shouldn't be to make a midnight snack for my brother, but for some other purpose, right?"
Finally, Cheng Shumin spoke, "Yiyi, I've really thought it through recently and I want to get along well with Yun Ting. Why don't you all believe me?"
Her voice was filled with sadness, but Huo Yiyi just said coldly: "Not long ago, you were clamoring for me to snatch Huo's from my brother. Now you've suddenly changed your mind so drastically, any normal person would doubt your intentions."
"If you don't believe me, forget it! I won't send you back again, okay?"
Huo Yiyi was about to speak when Cheng Shumin hung up the phone.
She put away her phone, feeling a little uneasy, hoping that she was just overthinking it...
On the other side, after Cheng Shumin hung up the phone, she said angrily, "That damn girl, I was doing this for her own good, and she still questioned me. Once she gets the Huo Corporation, she'll know everything I said is true!"
After muttering this to herself, she quickly dialed another number.
