Chapter 684: Long and Long
Xiao Tuo always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Mr. Zhao, are you sure? Ten billion is not a small amount."
Although the Xiao family needs this money now, it does not mean that Xiao Tuo can accept this investment without any psychological burden.
Moreover, it is hard not to be suspicious when Mr. Zhao suddenly decides to invest so much money.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, just ask the secretary to give me the company account. I will arrange for the secretary to transfer the funds later."
After a moment's silence, Xiao Tuo slowly said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm very grateful that you are willing to invest so much money in Xiao Corporation, but I cannot accept it. Xiao Corporation is not at the end of its rope yet. I want to rely on myself to get Xiao Corporation back on its feet."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, this money is not invested in vain. When Xiao Corporation overcomes this crisis, I will take a cut of it."
Even so, Xiao still had an indescribable feeling. Over the years in the business world, his intuition had helped him accomplish many things, so Xiao Tuo had always believed in his intuition.
Now, his intuition tells him that there is something wrong with this matter, so he will not accept the investment rashly.
"I know, but I still want to rely on Xiao's own efforts to overcome this crisis. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness."
Seeing Xiao Tuo's insistence, Mr. Zhao didn't know what to say.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhao called Huo Yunting.
"Boss Huo, Boss Xiao refuses to accept this investment no matter what. Why don't you go talk to him?"
"I understand. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhao."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, you're too polite. We're going to cooperate soon. This is as it should be."
However, Mr. Zhao was indeed a little confused. Since Huo Yunting wanted to help Xiao Tuo, why didn't he want Xiao Tuo to know?
"Well, I have a meeting to attend. We can discuss it in detail when President Zhao comes to Beijing."
"good."
Huo Yunting put down his phone, thought for a while, and decided to go talk to Xiao Tuo in person in the evening.
Just as he was about to call Xiao Tuo, Ke Ning pushed open the office door and walked in hurriedly.
"Boss Huo, something's happened to the Xiao family again!"
Huo Yunting's face darkened. He took the tablet handed to him by Ke Ning, and after seeing the news on it, his eyes became extremely cold.
Shocking! Xiao's Haoyu Real Estate was exposed for using toxic building materials, causing cancer in several employees!
That piece of news has become the number one trending search, and now all the comments are cursing the Xiao family.
[I thought Xiao's was some good company. They even won one of the top ten conscientious companies last year. This is a conscientious company selected by an evaluation. I'm so amazed!]
[I remember that most of the pre-sale properties under Haoyu were sold out in seconds, and the prices were quite high. So those owners spent half their life savings to buy a toxic house?!]
"A company like Xiao's that has no moral integrity should be shut down! Those unlucky owners should band together to sue Xiao! Ideally, they should bankrupt Xiao!"
…
The overwhelming number of comments were all cursing the Xiao family.
Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly: "Try to suppress this matter!"
Ke Ning shook his head. "I'm afraid it's too late. Someone is behind this incident, fanning the flames. It's now trending on all major platforms."
Needless to say, it must be Tang Ruxing who is behind this!
"Ask Tang Ruxing to meet."
"I'll be there right away."
The news of Haoyu using toxic materials exploded the entire Internet in less than an hour. There were almost 999+ comments under each video, and the comments were all cursing Xiao and Haoyu. Some owners even spontaneously blocked the door of Xiao's building to demand justice.
The debate was raging online and in Beijing, but Xiao Muzhen in Medicine Valley knew nothing about it.
Shi Yiheng knew about the incident as early as the first day when the Xiao family was in trouble, but he did not tell Xiao Muzhen. He also deliberately turned off all the push notifications on Xiao Muzhen's phone to prevent Xiao Muzhen from knowing about it.
As long as the Xiao family, his backing, falls, Xiao Muzhen will be completely dependent on himself in the future.
Shi Yiheng knew that what he did was despicable, but as long as he could get Xiao Muzhen, what did it matter if he was a little despicable?
Because Xu Ye knew someone in the identification department, the blood test came out quickly.
After reading the report, he found Xiao Muzhen.
"Junior sister, the test results are out, those bloodstains are indeed from Junior Sister."
Xiao Muzhen's face turned pale and he took the appraisal report with trembling hands.
At this point, they can no longer deceive themselves.
Yunling...it's very likely that something unexpected has happened...
Staring at the last line of words on the appraisal report, Xiao Muzhen's vision gradually became blurred.
"What should we do now? We can't tell Master about this for now. He's still unconscious. Even if he wakes up, his physical condition won't be able to withstand this blow..."
Xu Ye also meant this, nodded and said, "Well, when the master asks me, I will say that the appraisal report has not come out yet, and I will delay it for as long as possible."
But they all knew that it wouldn't last long.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and was about to speak when Shi Yiheng's surprised voice came from the door.
"Master Yun, are you awake?!"
Xiao Muzhen and Xu Ye turned around in panic and saw that Old Yun, who was still in a coma, had woken up at some point and was now standing at the door of the living room. The two of them were so immersed in sadness that they didn't even notice him.
"master!"
Xiao Muzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support his shaky body, but Old Yun pushed her away.
"Give me the appraisal report."
"Master, Junior Sister must be fine."
"Give me!"
Old Yun's eyes were filled with anger, and Xiao Muzhen had no choice but to hand the appraisal report to him from behind.
After reading the last line of words clearly, Old Yun's expression became extremely sad. The thin piece of paper in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and slipped from his hand to the ground.
He closed his eyes and said with a heavy expression, "Tell those villagers not to look for it anymore."
Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed with disbelief, "Master, although those bloodstains belong to Junior Sister, she might still be alive and waiting for us to save her somewhere!"
"It's no use looking for them anymore... Stop bothering the villagers..."
In the cold winter, everyone's face, hands and feet were frostbitten from going to find Yun Ling. If there was still hope, Old Yun didn't want them to give up.
But now... the facts are before our eyes...
"Master, please hold on a little longer! I don't want to give up so quickly!"
"If we still haven't found it by tomorrow evening, don't bother the villagers anymore."
He didn't want to take advantage of their kindness and do useless work. The back mountain was so small and he had searched it countless times. If Yun Ling was really still alive, he would have found her long ago.
The most likely outcome now is that she fell off the cliff and was eaten by wild beasts, with no one knowing where her bones were scattered.
Even if he didn't want to accept it, Mr. Yun knew clearly that this was the most likely outcome.
Xiao Muzhen's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily, "Okay!"
