Chapter 296: Easing of relations
But Lin Yilan forgot one thing. Their current posture was very awkward. If they just stayed here, Lin Yilan could have continued to waste time with Huo Juncheng. But now Huo Juncheng was holding her in his arms. If she continued like this, she would have no way to calm down.
"Huo Juncheng, can you please let me go first?"
"You know what I want to ask you. First, tell me what's going on between you and Gao Xianyang. Then I'll consider letting you go."
"Mr. Huo, that Mr. Lin from abroad said..."
"Get lost! Since he's unwilling to cooperate, the Huo family doesn't care about him. Just tell him directly that if he doesn't cooperate with the Huo family, he will bear the consequences!"
When the assistant came in, he saw Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan hugging each other. He thought that this was definitely the end. Sure enough, before he could find an excuse to leave, Huo Juncheng yelled him out the door.
Lin Yilan was also frightened by Huo Juncheng's move. She blinked and it took her a long time to realize what was going on. Although she and Huo Juncheng had been together for quite a while, she rarely saw Huo Juncheng angry.
"I really have something important to tell you today. We'll talk about the rest later. Do you remember the organization that attacked you at Haida? We couldn't find the mastermind back then, and the clues kept disappearing. Do you remember?"
Huo Juncheng had no intention of listening to what Lin Yilan said, because he felt that no matter what Lin Yilan said, it was just an excuse to avoid his questions.
However, Huo Juncheng did not expect that Lin Yilan would actually mention those things at Haida University. This was something he could not let go of. Not only because he could not catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but Huo Juncheng might be in danger again.
What Huo Juncheng was more worried about was the danger that would come to society if such an organization were allowed to go unpunished!
"Why are you suddenly mentioning this? Have you found out anything about the whereabouts of this organization?"
Because the matter of Haida was of great importance, Huo Juncheng stopped joking with Lin Yilan. Instead, he let go of Lin Yilan and listened quietly to what she said next.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng's serious expression and knew that Huo Juncheng took this matter very seriously, so she also became serious.
In fact, Lin Yilan suddenly mentioned this matter just to find an excuse. After all, the man didn't say anything. All Lin Yilan knew now was that everyone in that organization had a tattoo on the back of their neck.
But now it seems that Lin Yilan really needs to thank Zhang Zilan. If it weren't for that man who let her get a little bit of information about the organization, Lin Yilan wouldn't know how to persuade Huo Juncheng to let her go.
"Actually, I haven't gotten any useful clues. The main reason is that I accidentally discovered today that the man who kidnapped Zhang Zilan and me wasn't just an ordinary driver in Paris. He spoke Chinese very well and looked like he grew up in China."
"Are you saying that the driver who kidnapped you and Zhang Zilan was from that organization?"
Lin Yilan nodded and continued speaking.
"That's right. When I was at Maritime University, I accidentally saw the tattoos on the back of their necks. The man who kidnapped me also had that tattoo on the back of his neck. At first, I couldn't tell if it was the symbol of that organization, but after seeing that man, I'm sure it's inextricably linked to that organization."
"So, what clues did you get from that man? Do you know who is behind them? And where is their organization's base?"
Lin Yilan hadn't expected Huo Juncheng to ask such questions directly. She shook her head helplessly. "As a member of that organization, it's already very difficult for me to see him now. Rumor has it that organizations like this all commit suicide the moment they're caught to prevent the leaking of secrets."
Looking at Lin Yilan's wrinkled face, Huo Juncheng had the urge to pinch it, but in the end he stopped himself.
Pretending to be indifferent, he looked at Lin Yilan and said, "Since you haven't found anything, what's the point of telling me all this? Instead of listening to your meaningless words, I'd rather hear the answer to the question I just asked you."
"I'm not saying anything insincere! Initially, all our leads were cut off, and we had no information about that organization at all. Now, we've finally found someone connected to that organization. I think this is a very important matter, okay?"
Lin Yilan was very dissatisfied with what Huo Juncheng had just said. She glared at Huo Juncheng and before Huo Juncheng could say anything, she continued, "Besides, when we were investigating Lin Pinyan's whereabouts, we couldn't find a living person. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"Who said I didn't find out where Lin Pinyan is?"
"You found out, so why didn't you tell me?"
The conversation between the two was like that of a child. If the assistant outside the door had heard or seen this, they would definitely be shocked. The dignified CEO of Huo Group would actually argue with Lin Yilan. It was the kind of joke that only a second-grade kid would make...
Huo Juncheng also realized his loss of composure at this moment. He coughed twice and spoke calmly:
"I did find out Lin Pinyan's whereabouts. She was last seen in the black market, taken there by Shen Shenyan. But later, when I tried to track her down, she disappeared without a trace again."
"Chen Shenyan? Why did he bring Lin Pinyan to that place? Also, why did Lin Pinyan disappear for no reason? Did she meet someone else? Logically speaking, the Huo family shouldn't be able to track her whereabouts..."
"The Huo family is in the open, while the troublemakers are in the dark. Although the Huo family has some informants and connections, they are ultimately no match for those who are involved in the underworld and operate in the gray area. If Lin Pinyan has been hiding with Shen Shenyan these days, then we have reason to suspect that Shen Shenyan's role must be more than just the role of the Shen Group's president."
When Lin Yilan heard what Huo Juncheng said, she nodded in agreement. She didn't expect that Huo Juncheng had investigated so many things in places she didn't know about.
Every day Lin Yilan saw Huo Juncheng's company, and the Huo family's two power plants were busy as a line. At that time, she didn't understand what Huo Juncheng was busy with every day, but now she has some understanding.
It turns out that as the president of Huo Group, Huo Juncheng is not only busy with company affairs every day, but also with other things. Thinking about it this way, Huo Juncheng seems to be very tired. So is it not good for me to be angry with Huo Juncheng all the time?
Lin Yilan thought so, and she did think so, but she still had no intention of reconciling with Huo Juncheng.
