1544: Let’s See Who’s More Ruthless (5)

Let’s See Who’s More Ruthless (5)

"Our boss said you can't leave until you get an abortion."

Then, they pushed Wang Shasha out the door as she cried out for help, "Help! Let go of me!"

When Wang Shasha woke up, the procedure was already over; she touched her flat stomach…

"Miss, you just had an abortion, get some rest and stay warm."

Wang Shasha's heart sank upon hearing what the nurse said. She knew that Huo Siqian did this and therefore blamed his ruthlessness.

- Huo Corporation -

"Sir, we're done."

"Okay, you can leave now."

"Yes, Sir."

"Bitch… how dare you threaten me with someone else's child, do you take me for an idiot? This is just a little lesson for you…"

- The First Hospital -

Huo Mian drove to the First Hospital after working that afternoon; Mr. and Mrs. Qin haven't been doing well over the past few days – Qin Chu's scandal spread like wildfire so they quickly found out.

After Huo Mian arrived, Mrs. Qin immediately ran up and grabbed her hands. "Mian… how's Qin Chu doing?"

"Mom… I don't know either, they won't let me see him."

"God, what should we do? Will something happen to my son? How can he be framed for murder? This is awful… what should we do?"

"Mom, don't panic. Qin Chu wasn't the murderer so I'm sure he'll be fine."

"Mian… come here."

"Dad…" Huo Mian immediately walked up to Qin Yumin, who was gesturing at her.

"Thanks for taking care of the company over the past few days."

"It's okay."

"Do you have any news about Qin Chu?"

"The trial is starting in three days."

"The first trial?"

"Yes." Huo Mian nodded.

"I heard they found a lot of evidence against Chu."

Upon hearing this, Huo Mian fell silent; her father-in-law was a wise man, so she didn't want to lie to him.

"Chu didn't do it, so he'll be treated fairly."

"Mhm, even if they wrongly sentence him, we'll think of a way to save him. Don't worry Dad and take good care of your body."

"The company's stocks plummeted again, right?"

Huo Mian didn't respond…

"How much longer can you hold onto?"

"I don't know yet, I'm still thinking of countermeasures…"

"Mian…"

"Mhm?"

"If it's necessary, it's okay to give up the company… We can make more money later on, all I want is our family to be together."

"Dad… I won't give up on the company, you dedicated your whole life for GK and Qin Chu had been working hard to manage it…"

"That was then, and this is now. I know you're strong and try to carry everything on your shoulders... but you're human too, a girl who can still at times feel exhausted… You don't always have to bite the bullet. It's okay if the company fails, as long as we're together."

"I'll remember that, Dad."

After consoling her in-laws for a while, Huo Mian walked out of the patient room.

Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted… The good news was that she was against a wall and therefore quickly leaned back onto it…

"Are you okay?" An elderly woman passing by saw Huo Mian leaning against the wall and helped her up.

"I'm okay, thank you."

"Do you need to go to the emergency room?"

"No, it's okay. I've been overworking myself, I just need some sleep," Huo Mian smiled.

"Young people these days disregard their health like it's not theirs, sometimes they stay up night after night working overtime… that's not okay, you're drafting your life, child."

"I know, thank you." After thanking the elderly woman once again, Huo Mian slowly made her way out of the hospital.

But who knew Yang would call as soon as she walked out of the hospital…

"Young Madam, someone is maliciously purchasing our shares in large amounts."

"Let me guess, it's the Huo Corporation, right?"

"It's a subsidiary of the Huo Corporation…"

"Okay, I got it," Huo Mian hung up the phone listlessly. Huo Siqian was at it again; he was a despicable man.

The series of conspiracies left Huo Mian and Qin Chu like ants on a stove – Qin Chu was powerless in front of Huo Siqian, since the latter spent so much time planning everything out.

This wasn't a battle of wits; Huo Siqian was an ambitious man who had been after his prey for a long time and was willing to spend a decade plotting on one single conspiracy.

Therefore, the victims couldn't help but panic because they didn't have the time to even react, let alone think things through.

Huo Mian took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Mian…" He called out her name, gentler than ever.

"Huo Siqian, let's meet up," Huo Mian said.

"Sure… when?"

"Right now."

"Should I pick you up?" he asked.

"No, I'll go to the Huo Family mansion."1

"Sure, I'll be waiting for you." Huo Siqian smiled with a devious charm.
