"Mr. Huo, your sister is no ordinary person. Aside from her bodyguards, she probably has quite a few people protecting her secretly. She's not easy to keep an eye on..."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. Just keep an eye on things."
"......yes."
When Wen Lijing saw Huo Shiqian come to see him, he was quite surprised. "Mr. Huo, what brings you here?"
“You saved Eleven, so I should come and thank you.”
"Please have a seat," Wen Lijing invited. "Have some tea; I just got some of the best tea here."
"Either is fine." Huo Shiqian sat down at the tea table, watching him brew Kung Fu tea. "You must have put in a lot of effort to save Eleven, right?"
"Of course."
"I don't think so," Huo Shiqian smiled. "As the uncle, it's only right that I spare no effort to save Eleven."
"Although you are Jingting and Wanwan's friend, the effort you put in this time has truly exceeded the scope of a friend, so I naturally want to thank you."
Huo Shiqian was blunt: "I heard you've been having cash flow problems lately. Is it because of saving National Day? We should pay for this. Calculate how much you spent, and I'll pay you back double."
Wen Lijing leisurely brewed tea, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "So, I can still make a profit?"
"It's only right. As his uncle, I didn't have the ability to find out where Eleven was. It's a blessing that he's back safe and sound. Of course, I should pay for his rescue."
"In addition, I would like to donate some money to Wanwan's charity fund as a way to do good deeds. I hope that Xiao Jiu can return safely as soon as possible, just like Shiyi."
Wen Lijing poured out the brewed tea and placed it in front of him. "Since that's the case, I can't accept your money. You love Eleven, and so do I."
“How could we be the same?” Huo Shiqian narrowed his eyes slightly. “I am Eleven’s blood-related maternal uncle.”
“Love knows no blood ties.” Wen Lijing took a sip of hot tea and retorted, “I can give everything for Eleven, and the same goes for Xiao Jiu. If possible, I can still spare no effort to save Xiao Jiu.”
"Did Wanwan agree to any of your conditions?" Huo Shiqian suddenly asked.
Wen Lijing paused, his hand holding the teacup still. "What did you say?"
“I know my sister. Logically, she should be grateful to you for saving Eleven, but when she mentioned you, her expression was very indifferent and unusually calm. This is not normal.” Huo Shiqian’s eyes became more and more sharp. “Did you propose something to her that she could not accept but had to accept, which is why she reacted this way?”
Wen Lijing's expression remained unchanged. "Does President Huo think there's something wrong with me, or that I haven't been good enough to Wanwan?"
"So you're admitting it?" Huo Shiqian frowned slightly. "Jing Ting's life or death is uncertain, how dare you force Wanwan?"
Wen Lijing took a sip of hot tea. "I believe that everyone has a selfish side, so I have no intention of denying my own despicable nature."
"Smack!"
After a sudden loud noise, the ceramic teacup was slammed onto the solid wood tea table, spilling all the tea inside!
The air instantly became condensed!
Huo Shiqian said, word by word, "I don't care how you treat others, but you can't force my sister."
Wen Lijing finished his hot tea in two sips and said unhurriedly, "Since you know Wanwan, you should know that she always keeps her word."
Huo Shiqian suddenly smiled, "My grandfather has always praised you, saying that you are a rare good man. During the days when Jing Ting disappeared, he even had the idea of letting Wanwan let go of Jing Ting and accept you."
"Although I didn't express my opinion explicitly, I felt in my heart that if Jingting really died tragically, and Wanwan could let go of him, you might not be a bad match. However, it seems that Grandpa misjudged you. If he knew that you were forcing Wanwan, he would definitely not let it go."
“I know you won’t allow me to do this, but I did save Eleven, didn’t I?” Wen Lijing said calmly, looking directly into Huo Shiqian’s sharp eyes. “President Huo, I believe you would have done the same if you were Wanwan.”
Huo Shiqian's expression grew even colder. "I don't intend to put myself in Wanwan's shoes to accept this. I only care about the outcome. The outcome is that although Shiyi has returned, he will have to exchange Wanwan for him."
“You just mentioned despicable, and I never thought that people from our background could be truly pure and kind. But you used your despicable methods on my sister, and I will never allow it.”
Huo Shiqian stood up, his long, slender fingers adjusting his dark gray tie, his cold eyes looking down at him with disdain. "Although the Huo Group is not as powerful as Dijing, it is more than capable of dealing with the Wen Group. If you want to win the heart of this beauty, the price you will have to pay is something you probably can't afford. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Wen Lijing sat quietly, his expression unreadable.
Huo Shiqian added, "The money to save Shiyihua will be transferred to your account later. You're a smart person; you know what to do."
......
Wen Lijing's men followed Qiao Wanwan for two days before returning to report.
"Mr. Wen, the security around Mrs. Zhan is too tight. I really can't find anything. As for more details, her phone is protected. Even if I find the best hacker, I'm afraid they can't get in. Besides, aren't the best hackers all in the Imperial View Group?"
Wen Lijing waved his hand, "Alright, I didn't expect you to find anything anyway."
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your understanding, General Wen. However, I did discover something. Although I couldn't track Madam Zhan, I did track her confidants. I found that they went to the slums in secret and arranged quite a few people there."
"The slums?" Wen Lijing frowned. "Why would Wanwan's people go there...?"
"Mr. Wen, it's already good enough that I was able to find this much information. There's really no way to get any more detailed information."
Wen Lijin ignored him and muttered to himself, "My younger sister always shoulders everything by herself, never thinking of telling the family or helping her share the burden..."
"Madam Zhan is no ordinary person. With Master Zhan away, she can keep such a huge Dijing Group under control. Not everyone can do that."
Wen Lijing waved his hand, "Go and keep an eye on the slums secretly. What Wanwan is concerned about is definitely not an ordinary matter."
"yes."
At that time, the president's office of Dijin Group.
"Madam, according to my report, it seems that another group of people has appeared outside the slums in the past two days."
Qiao Wanwan put down the documents in her hand. "Do you know who it is?"
Jiang Dong shook his head. "I don't know for now. Do we need to investigate?"
"This concerns Jing Ting, so we must investigate thoroughly. If there is any threat to Jing Ting, we must eliminate him."
"I see."
The phone on the table rang as soon as he finished speaking.
Qiao Wanwan glanced down at her phone, her face immediately darkening!
