Ye Xinning thought she should go now, otherwise her mother would not let her go out again when she came back. Moreover, the person she was going to see was Huo Qijun, and if her mother was there, there were many things she would not be able to ask.
...
Su Wan and Ye Xinning appeared together in the prison.
After completing the visitation procedures, Ye Xinning and Su Wan sat down and waited.
Huo Qijun soon appeared, led by two prison guards. He was visibly taken aback when he saw that it was Ye Xinning who had come to see him.
Ye Xinning also looked up at Huo Qijun. In just a few months, Huo Qijun looked much more haggard than before, and his steps were heavier. This was the change that prison brought to people.
Ye Xinning knew without much thought that Huo Qijun was having a terrible time inside.
Huo Qijun sat down opposite Ye Xinning and, before Ye Xinning could speak, laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to be you who came."
"Didn't you expect that, Mr. Huo? That's a real pity. My arrival today seems a bit abrupt."
"Let's skip the pretense and get straight to the point. I don't believe you came here specifically to laugh at me."
Ye Xinning lowered her eyes, smiled softly, and played with her fingers, her tone casual, "Jiang An is back. Chairman Huo may not know this news while he's inside, so I came here specifically to inform him."
"Jiang An is back?" Huo Qijun asked doubtfully, then laughed. "So, Jiang An really gave birth to that child, and the child really is Shen Lin's?"
"It seems I misunderstood. Chairman Huo is not completely ignorant."
Huo Qijun suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Ye Xinning, "Sure enough, you're not feeling good right now, are you? The person you love has a child with another woman. Ye Xinning, do you remember what I said a few months ago? You can't be happy. I'm living such a miserable life. If you're too happy, how can that be fair?"
Huo Qijun's words were enough to prove that Ye Xinning was right; he really did know something!
"Chairman Huo, if you're willing to ask, I can make your life inside less terrible." Ye Xinning stopped wasting words and directly gave his terms.
"That's it? What else do you want me to say? Ye Xinning, you underestimate me too much." Huo Qijun clearly looked down on the conditions Ye Xinning offered. He sat in his chair and made an outrageous demand, "You know exactly what I need right now, don't you?"
Ye Xinning's gaze was deep. "I still want to hear it now, but it's useless for you to say it when I don't want to anymore."
"You might fool a child with that, but you won't fool me."
So, you're not planning to talk about it?
"Why should I say that seeing you suffer makes me feel much happier?"
Ye Xinning and Huo Qijun looked at each other. After a few seconds, she looked away and nodded. "You won't tell me? Fine. The Huo Group hasn't been doing well lately. I was thinking of asking my mother for help, but since that's the case, there's no need for that."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he stood up, and Huo Qijun understood the deeper meaning behind her words.
"stop."
"So, Mr. Huo, do you want to say something now?"
What happened to the Huo Group?
"It's almost at the point where we have to file for bankruptcy."
Huo Qijun didn't believe Ye Xinning's words at all. "It's impossible. If it really came to that point, why didn't Yanzhi mention it at all when he came to see me?"
"He doesn't mention it because you are his brother, his only family in the world. He's afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. If anything happens to you in prison, he'll have no family left in the world."
Kenneth Fok's body was tense, his face grim.
Ye Xinning looked him up and down. "Since Chairman Huo is unwilling to speak, it's fine. It's not a big deal to just watch the Huo Group fall into crisis."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking and was about to leave, Huo Qijun's voice was somewhat exasperated this time. "It was a call from France. I don't know who it was. They wanted me to cooperate and told me some things, but I wasn't interested. All I want is the Ye Group. There's no need to offend Shen Lin. After that, that person never called again."
Can you tell a man from a woman's voice?
"No, a voice changer was used."
Ye Xinning was disappointed; it was pretty much exactly what the doctor had said. "That's all?"
"there is none left."
"I know all of this, but Chairman Huo didn't give me any useful information. I'm sorry, it seems I can't help the Huo Group."
Huo Qijun was annoyed, but just then, something suddenly came to mind.
“I remember now, when that person called, there was a sound of Buddhist prayer beads falling to the ground. That person seemed to be a Buddhist.”
Did the prayer beads fall to the ground?
Ye Xinning received this information, his gaze becoming deep.
As she turned to leave, Huo Qijun called out to her, "So, will you help with the Huo Group's needs?"
"The Huo Group is doing very well. Chairman Huo, are you not familiar with your brother or do you not trust my mother?"
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he left with Su Wan without stopping.
It took Huo Qijun behind him a while to realize what Ye Xinning meant. He roared, "Ye Xinning, you're messing with me!"
...
After leaving the prison, Su Wan stood next to Ye Xinning and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Amazing!"
Ye Xinning smiled. "What?"
"With just a few words, you made Huo Qijun believe you and extract the information he wanted."
Ye Xinning looked into the distance and said calmly, "I know Huo Qijun quite well. He is ruthless and his methods are not honorable, but he only cares about one thing and one person: the Huo Group and Huo Yanzhi. If I take Huo Yanzhi as an example, he will definitely lower his guard and believe what I say, which will make things simple."
"Regardless, you've gained something. But regarding these prayer beads, do you, as someone who worships Buddha, have a specific goal in mind?"
Ye Xinning withdrew her gaze, looked at Su Wan, and slowly opened her lips, "Shortly before, not long after I remarried Shen Lin, his aunt Mu Mingwei came to Nancheng to pay respects to Shen Lin's mother."
"Aunt Chen Lin?"
"Yes, after a few days of getting to know each other, Mu Mingwei always had a string of Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist."
Su Wan's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "So, you suspect that Shen Lin's aunt, Mu Mingwei, did this?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head, her expression complex. "I don't know either. Based solely on Huo Qijun's words and the string of Buddhist beads, we can't be certain. But according to all the information we have, Shen Lin's decision not to have children was persuaded by Mu Mingwei. Later, the sperm was placed in France and given to Gu Shilin to arrange for someone to do it. Gu Shilin is Mu Mingwei's son. Putting all of this together, it's clear that Mu Mingwei isn't innocent, and..."
"And what?"
