Chapter 249: The Woman Who Appeared
Seeing Huo Juncheng trying to leave, a woman walked over with graceful steps. When she reached Huo Juncheng, her body actually pressed against him.
Faced with the appearance of this woman, Huo Juncheng took a few steps back. The woman lost her balance and almost fell down.
"Mr. Huo, what are you doing? We were together after all. Even if you have a fiancée now, there's no need to reject me like this. I still love you deeply, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to have you come to Paris."
"I have something urgent to do right now. We can talk about our relationship later."
Huo Juncheng didn't even look at the woman, ignoring her directly, intending to go out and investigate Lin Yilan's whereabouts. The woman realized that Huo Juncheng wanted to leave, so she quickly stepped forward and climbed onto one of Huo Juncheng's arms.
"What could be more important than the two of us sitting down and having a good talk? From what I know, you and your so-called fiancée are just superficially related. As for feelings, it can basically be said that there is none. I still can't let you go, and I don't blame you for abandoning me. If you are willing, we can be together now, Huo Juncheng, won't you consider it?"
Huo Juncheng then fixed his gaze on the woman in front of him, not because he was moved by what she said, but because he realized that if he didn't explain things clearly to her, she would not let him leave easily.
"Ms. Jenny, we've been together for a long time. Perhaps to be more precise, we've never been together. If you keep pestering me, I'll be rude to you."
The foreign woman looked at Huo Juncheng's gradually gloomy expression and knew that Huo Juncheng was really angry at the moment. Although she didn't want to let Huo Juncheng go, she also knew that there was a long way to go and there was no need to exhaust all of Huo Juncheng's patience today.
So he smacked his lips and reluctantly let go of Huo Juncheng's arm. "Okay, since Mr. Huo really has something to do today, then I won't bother you. But if Mr. Huo still wants to cooperate with my father, you should find another time to discuss the cooperation, right?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Huo Juncheng didn't want to waste any more time, so he said something perfunctory and prepared to leave.
At this time, Huo Juncheng's phone suddenly rang. Huo Juncheng took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was his assistant.
"What was the result?"
The assistant hesitated for a long time in response to Huo Juncheng's question. When Huo Juncheng was about to lose his patience, he said cautiously:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. Our people are all in China, so it's difficult to investigate overseas. Add to that the organizers of this banquet... I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, we've stepped up our manpower to investigate the whereabouts of the young lady."
"What's the point of having you? If anything happens to Lin Yilan, you know the consequences!"
Looking at Huo Juncheng's furious expression after answering the phone, although Jenny didn't know who Lin Yilan was, she probably guessed what was going on.
She blinked at Huo Juncheng and said, "I was wondering why Mr. Huo was here alone. I was wondering why he came to Paris to discuss cooperation with my father. How could he have something else important to discuss? Now it seems like he can't find his fiancée?"
Facing Jenny's words, Huo Juncheng remained silent, as if to acquiesce. Suddenly remembering that the host of this banquet was Jenny's father, he spoke without thinking:
"I need the surveillance footage of this banquet. If possible, I hope you can transfer it to me." Although Huo Juncheng spoke politely, his tone revealed a threat that could not be refused.
Of course, Jenny didn't want to refuse Huo Juncheng's request. How could she not seize such a good opportunity? Just imagine that Huo Juncheng had to ask for help from others. It was such a rare thing.
"Since Mr. Huo has said so, how can I refuse? Don't worry, Mr. Huo is unfamiliar with this place. I will send everyone around to look for your fiancée. As long as your fiancée hasn't offended anyone, there's actually no danger. You don't have to worry so much."
Huo Juncheng also knew that his reaction was indeed a bit extreme, but he always felt uneasy. Lin Yilan was here alone, unfamiliar with the place, and had just lost contact. How could Huo Juncheng not be worried!
But now he slowly calmed down, knowing that even if he was anxious, it would be of no practical use. He reorganized his emotions and glanced at Jenny in front of him.
"Thank you for your help. I, Huo Juncheng, owe you a favor. I will pay you back later."
"What are you talking about? Why are you being so reserved with me? I like you so much. If you need any help, I'm definitely willing to help you."
"Ms. Jenny, you know I have a fiancée, and we ended a long time ago. I hope you can recognize this reality, and that there is really no possibility for us. I hope you can understand that you and I can only be considered partners. Of course, if your father is unwilling to continue to cooperate with the Huo family, then we can't even be partners anymore."
Huo Juncheng patiently emphasized to Jenny once again the current relationship between him and Jenny. He was already patient enough on this matter. If it weren't for the cooperation he still needed to discuss with Jenny's father, he wouldn't even be willing to give Jenny a glance.
When Jenny heard Huo Juncheng say such heartless words, she curled her lips indifferently, looking indifferent.
Even if Huo Juncheng has a fiancée, even if Huo Juncheng keeps his distance from her all the time, Jenny always believes that as long as a man uses a little trick, it will be easy to get him.
Now that Huo Juncheng is in Paris and needs her help, Jenny always believes that she can make full use of this time to cultivate her relationship with Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng didn't know what Jenny was thinking at the moment. If he knew what Jenny was thinking at the moment, he would definitely fly back to China as soon as he found Lin Yilan. As for the issue of the contract, he would not waste any more time on it.
But that’s all in the past.
…
On the other side, Lin Yilan watched Zhang Zilan being tortured beside her, but she could do nothing.
Zhang Zilan knew that Huang Liyuan just wanted to see her begging for mercy in a desperate state. She didn't want to do what Huang Liyuan wanted. Even though her body was burning with pain, she didn't cry out.
Huang Liyuan looked at Zhang Zilan and angrily asked the man to hit her harder, wanting to hear Zhang Zilan beg for mercy.
Zhang Zilan glanced at Huang Liyuan and sneered, "Huang Liyuan, that's all you can do. Beat me to death if you dare. You want me to kneel on the ground and beg you? Don't even think about it!"
