Chapter 273 White Moonlight, Cheng Huan
Huo Wenye followed the secretary into Xie Zhi's office, and his first glance fell on the reception sofa.
Yin Fu sat there.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and met his gaze. Her bright and sparkling eyes curved into a calm, sweet and charming smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
She spoke softly.
Actually it wasn’t that long, but it did feel like a lifetime ago.
She was completely out of his control.
Huo Wenye's handsome face was gloomy. He glanced at her lightly and then looked away, as if he didn't care much.
"Mr. Huo, come here and listen."
Xie Zhi sneered at him with a hint of gloating, "I told you, it's you who caused this trouble. You are the culprit."
In the darkroom, the man was confessing.
"It's... the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Jing City, Wen, Wen Yan!"
The accusation could not be clearer.
Xie Zhi looked at Huo Wenye sarcastically, "Back then, before she left, she asked you to take care of the eldest daughter of the Wen family. You took really good care of her, turning her into a vicious murderer."
Yin Fu couldn't help but stand up when she heard this. "What care?"
Neither man answered her.
That year, Cheng Huan left Hong Kong and went to Beijing.
She said she had to go find certain people and had no choice.
At that time, the Huo family in Beijing was in the most chaotic period.
Mrs. Huo has committed suicide by jumping off a building, and Mr. Huo has fled abroad, leaving behind the Huo Group with a plummeting stock price.
Mr. Huo is bedridden and unable to take charge of the overall situation.
The second young master of the Huo family refused to study business and went to law school.
The third young master of the Huo family suffers from autism and has a tendency to self-harm and commit suicide.
Some of the group's shareholders have joined forces with a rival company, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to bring down the Huo family.
The entire Huo family can be said to be in a precarious situation and on the verge of collapse.
The only one who could stand up and bear all of this at that time was the young Huo Wenye.
He works long hours every day, at high capacity, and doesn't even dare to stop when he's sick.
It's like a rubber band that has been stretched to the extreme and is about to break, in danger of breaking.
That day, when he came out of the group building, the doctor called him and said that his brother had broken a milk bottle and cut his wrists with the glass shards.
He had a bad cold at the time and his vision was blacking out. He barely managed to support his extremely exhausted body and went to the hospital.
When he arrived, there was a girl in Ayan's ward who was reading a book called "Rebuilding Life" to Ayan.
The content was a bit profound, and I don’t know how much Ah Yan understood, but the world-weariness on his childish face faded a little.
It seemed like this wasn't the first time the girl had secretly come to Ah Yan's hospital room. After reading a lesson, she said to Ah Yan, "Your guards here are too strict. If someone finds out, I won't be able to visit you anymore. So, can you please not stay in the hospital anymore? Get better and healthier. When you're discharged, I'll be able to come and play with you."
A Yan didn't say anything, his pale little mouth tightly closed.
But there seemed to be a light in his eyes.
He probably likes this girl to be with him.
Huo Wenye stood outside the door and watched. Perhaps because he was too tired, or perhaps because the girl exuded a gentle and kind aura, he did not move and did not ask anyone to expel her.
He leaned against the door, listening to the girl's soft and sweet voice as she read the contents of the book, and occasionally heard her and A Yan chatting.
He actually fell asleep while standing.
When his head hit the door frame, there was a thud and he suddenly woke up.
In the ward, the girl turned her head and looked over, unable to help but burst out laughing.
He had rarely felt embarrassed in his life, but at that moment he felt truly embarrassed and ashamed.
He turned and left with an expression as if he was about to flee.
Just like that, he got to know her.
We met again the next day, still in A Yan's ward.
She mixed an essential oil incense, which smelled wonderful and soothing.
This time he didn't stand there stupidly, but sat on the chair and listened to her read quietly.
He has always been suspicious and had already asked someone to investigate her identity.
She came from Hong Kong City and was the girlfriend of a gangster named Xie Zhi.
I don’t know why she approached A Yan.
Logically, he should have been extremely wary of her, but he fell asleep again in the pleasant aroma of essential oils.
Sleep very deeply and sleep very well.
It was the best sleep he had had in a while.
His severe cold seemed to have gotten better as a result.
It was all about money, he thought.
He could give it to her.
As long as he can get a good night's sleep every day.
Later, Cheng Huan stayed with him.
He gave her a handsome salary every month, and she bought stocks with it.
She seems to have the ability to predict the future; whatever she buys will skyrocket in price.
The speed at which she was making money made him feel that she would soon no longer need him.
This made him uneasy.
Fortunately, her boyfriend, a gangster in Hong Kong, was short of money, so she gave him all the millions she earned from stock trading.
He had another reason to continue "employing" her.
He didn't need her to do anything, just have her by his side.
She was very busy. She was busy investing in stocks and making money while taking care of Ah Yan.
She said with confidence that Ayan's autism would definitely get better.
Later, just as she said, A Yan was willing to speak again and no longer became depressed and self-harming.
A Yan was very clingy to her, even trying to steal her from him.
Whenever this happened, she would be overjoyed and would say with a smile, "What are you two doing? I have to leave sooner or later."
Ah Yan was still young at that time, and his words were childish. "You are not allowed to leave. You are mine."
He was thinking, where is she going? Where can she go? Isn't it just to go to Hong Kong to find that little gangster?
He didn't think at all that he would lose to that little gangster.
He began to pursue her subtly.
She did not resist his approach, but was preparing to leave.
She spent a whole year blending essential oils specifically for him to help him sleep.
She also gave the formula to his special assistant and said, "When I'm gone, you can find someone to mix it for Mr. Huo."
She used the money she earned from stock trading to buy him a small amusement park.
She said that he had worked so hard and was so stressed out that he had never been a willful and naughty child. She hoped that when he felt tired in the future, he would go to the playground for a walk.
He gradually realized that she didn't seem to be going to Gangcheng to find that gangster Xie Zhi.
It's more like making arrangements for what to do after death.
He felt an unprecedented panic.
He took her to get a physical examination despite her objections.
Unexpectedly, his premonition came true.
She has leukemia and doesn't have much time left to live.
The moment he received the report, he was shaking all over and his hands couldn't hold the thin sheets of paper steadily.
But she still smiled brightly, "Aye, I will leave eventually, don't be sad. I'll tell you in secret, I won't really die, I'm just going back to the world that originally belonged to me."
She was trying to comfort him.
Later, Xie Zhi took these words seriously and stubbornly believed that she had traveled from another world.
Cheng Huan's condition deteriorated rapidly, and the doctor said that if a matching bone marrow could not be found, she would not live more than three months.
He was like a madman at that time, desperate to find a matching bone marrow.
Whether it's the open or the dark road, the black road or the white road, as long as it can save her, it's fine!
He doesn't care how much it costs or what the price is!
Xie Zhi was also frantically looking for a way to survive at that time.
Finally, they found it.
Far away and yet close at hand, Wen Yan, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, is the most suitable person.
Wen Yan refused to agree at first, but Xie Zhi was a cruel and violent man, and was ready to kidnap Wen Yan regardless of her consent.
He was afraid of hurting Wen Yan by using tyrannical means, which would lead to the failure of the bone marrow transplant, which would be counterproductive.
He used all his patience to deal with the situation, being extremely gentle to Wen Yan, while at the same time putting cold pressure on the Wen family.
With him and Xie Zhi playing the good cop and the bad cop respectively, and using threats and inducements, Wen Yan finally agreed.
The bone marrow transplant was successful.
He and Xie Zhi were so excited that they almost hugged each other outside the operating room.
The two men almost reconciled their dislike for each other at that moment.
But the happiness didn't last long.
Cheng Huan was only healthy for one month.
She said, "It's no use. My time is up. I should go."
Xie Zhi was like a mad dog at that time, and kidnapped Cheng Huan without any care.
As a result, he didn’t get to see Cheng Huan for the last time.
Later, Xie Zhi said that Cheng Huan had disappeared, vanishing out of thin air.
Xie Zhi refused to admit that Cheng Huan was dead and made up an illusory dream, saying that Cheng Huan had returned to her own world.
Before Cheng Huan passed away, she sent a suicide note to him and A Yan respectively.
She "scolded" him in the letter, saying that if he continued to work all day and not eat well, she would appear in her dreams every night and beat him.
She also told him to be nice to Wen Yan. No matter what, Wen Yan was her savior, so she told him to take good care of Wen Yan.
In the years that followed, he listened to her and treated Wen Yan well.
Every time I look at Wen Yan and recall the time I spent with Cheng Huan, my heart always softens.
But if she knew now that Wen Yan was so vicious as to hire someone to kill someone, she would definitely be extremely disappointed.
"You decide what to do."
In the huge office, Xie Zhi's cold voice rang out, "Do you want to settle this privately or publicly?"
Huo Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly.
The private settlement that Xie Zhi mentioned meant taking Wen Yan's life.
Public handling means handing over witnesses and evidence to the police station for investigation.
"For the sake of..."
For Cheng Huan's sake.
Before Huo Wenye could finish his words, Xie Zhi suddenly flew into a rage and interrupted him harshly, "Don't you fucking dare mention her! Such a vicious woman is not worthy of being mentioned at the same time as her name!"
Huo Wenye pursed his lips, pressed his eyebrows, and felt irritated.
He turned to look at Yin Fu.
Yin Fu didn't look at him. She said to Xie Zhi, "Mr. Xie, you shouldn't have the blood of such a person on your hands."
Xie Zhi paused, staring at Yin Fu with serious eyes.
Yin Fu was not afraid of his anger at all and continued, "She has finally gotten on the right track. Don't ruin her hard work."
Maybe, that was her good intention?
But she's not sure yet.
"You are not allowed to mention her!" Xie Zhi said angrily.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Yin Fu smiled.
Although Xie Zhi was angry, he still followed Yin Fu's advice and chose to run the school publicly.
After all, it was not his own fault. The victim who was hired to kill someone was Yin Fu.
She was so calm, so why should he take it too seriously?
As long as it doesn't affect his time-travel experiment, nothing else matters.
"You and Huo must have something to discuss. I'll be a good person for once and let you two chat here alone."
Xie Zhi said something and turned to leave the office.
