Chapter 762: Chapter 761: The Boss Behind the Scenes_1 Chapter 762: Chapter 761: The Boss Behind the Scenes_1 “Hello, Professor Dai, our boss has been waiting for you! This way, please.”

“Thank you!”

At this time, in the deepest office of the third-floor working area of the gallery, Huo Kewei was grimacing as he applied medication to his injuries. Although the previous car accident didn’t take his life, his shoulder and head still bore some bruising.

Days have passed but the swelling hasn’t subsided.

Sitting across from him, Zuo Xinyao gave him a cold glance, continuing to concentrate on the investigation materials spread out before him.

Huo Kewei, feeling ignored, complained, “What are you looking at? I’ve noticed you’ve been in contact with my uncle quite a bit lately! Didn’t you two used to not get along?”

“Shut up!”

“I see!” Huo Kewei finally understood. He put down the Yunnan Baiyao in his hand and leaned in to look at the densely written text and blurry photos.

“Is this about our car accident investigation? So it was indeed intentional.”

“So you do have some brains.”

Even though his intelligence was questioned, Huo Kewei didn’t care. A cold smile emerged on his sinister face, “I know, it was my mother who did it, right?”

Finally looking up, Zuo Xinyao flashed surprise in his captivating peach blossom eyes, “Why would you say that?”

“I know it, my dad was killed by her.” Huo Kewei kept a straight face, but the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was so glaring that it altered his entire demeanor, transporting him back to the time just after Huo Dongfeng died.

“I knew it! Who could it be other than my dear mother?” His voice was barely audible, his eyes resembled those of a wounded wild beast, and he seemed to be enveloped in despair.

“It’s not like that, according to our investigation, it definitely wasn’t her. Moreover, she is your mother, she couldn’t harm you…”

“Heh heh heh…” Huo Kewei sneered, “Such an honor I do not wish for, I’d rather she killed me.”

“The matter hasn’t been concluded, it’s too early for you to say that.” Zuo Xinyao finally closed the materials in front of him. He knew Ke Wei was stuck in his own thoughts. It was he and Huo Beijiang who were in charge of such matters.

“Enough about that! We have an important guest coming today, the author of ‘Young Maiden’ that you’ve been curious about.”

Huo Kewei was still a little downcast, but he didn’t want Zuo Xinyao to be affected by his mood, so he rallied his spirits.

“Mr. Mi’s granddaughter? I heard she’s already arrived early in Imperial City.” The news had already spread throughout the art scene in Imperial City, and all major galleries were courting her. He had met her once and took an immediate dislike to her, vowing not to repeat the experience.

Zuo Xinyao’s stern expression finally nuanced a bit on mention of Mr. Mi’s granddaughter.

“That kind of character? You believe it too?” He could tell with just one look that it definitely wasn’t her. If he weren’t discerning, he wouldn’t have ventured into the gallery business. Although this was just one of the many businesses they had, they operated by the principle that if you’re going to do something, do it big.

Initially, when these two set up their business partnership, they capitalized on their abundant resources, venturing into various lucrative businesses such as art pieces, antiques, real estate, foreign trade, automobiles, and others. People laughed at them in the early days, but who’s laughing now?

“No wonder! I’ve always sensed deceit lurking in those eyes.” Huo Kewei perked up, readjusted the clothes that got lifted when applying the medication, and adopted a more serious posture.

“I told you, if she were to choose a gallery to collaborate with, besides us, there could be no better choice.”
