Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Unexpected Phone Call

She didn’t really want to watch a movie; she just felt that it would be very strange to do nothing while two people beside her stared with four eyes.

She didn’t know how long had passed when He Xing’s cell phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and said to Fu Han, "It’s a call from Liang Tao; I’m going out to take it," before leaving.

About five minutes later, He Xing came back in. His expression was no longer relaxed as it had been when he left. With a hint of apology, he said, "Xiaohan, I need to step out for a bit... Will you be okay on your own?"

Fu Han’s gaze shifted from her phone to He Xing’s face. She looked at him calmly and said, "No problem."

Hearing that He Xing was leaving made Su Cheng overjoyed. He patted his chest hastily and said, "You go ahead if you’ve got something to do. Don’t worry, I’m here."

He Xing glared at Su Cheng without amusement and eventually left, constantly looking back with every step.

The moment he stepped out of the hospital, he saw Liang Tao parked by the roadside in a business car. He pulled open the rear door and got in. Inside the back seat was a briefcase with a spare computer He Xing kept at the company.

As He Xing rapidly booted up the computer, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

With the car already fired up and starting to move, Liang Tao immediately began to explain, "Chairman He, we only got the news from the police station this morning. The Xia Family has spent a lot of money on a lawyer, claiming they did not kidnap Fu Han and Bai Wei. They say it was Fu Han and Bai Wei who were following them, and that they mistook them for bad actors and accidently injured them."

"Shameless!" All sympathy He Xing might have had for the Xia Family quickly evaporated as he frowned at his emails and asked without looking up, "Have the lawyers we hired arrived?"

Caught at a red light, Liang Tao, who was always extra nervous when answering He Xing’s questions, quickly hit the brakes, "Chairman He, Miss Fu... Miss Fu Han has entrusted Mr. Fu Xingbo to... to hire a lawyer for her, declining the lawyer we recommended."

Liang Tao spoke these simple words with a trembling heart. He nervously swallowed and, glancing through the rearview mirror, could see He Xing’s exceedingly grim expression.

Although he had more to say, He Xing’s look had frightened him into silence.

Lounging back in his seat, He Xing’s black eyes were stormy. The only thought on his mind was that Fu Han no longer trusted him; it must be so, otherwise why would Fu Han not use the expensive lawyers he had hired and instead let Fu Xingbo handle the matter?

On reflecting, it made sense. The Xia Family were the benefactors of He Xing, so how could he truly consign them to their downfall? Maybe Fu Han thought that He Xing’s rushing around to hire lawyers was just to save the Xia siblings with an inside-outside play; after all, Fu Han had called the police without informing He Xing beforehand.

With these thoughts, He Xing’s heart ached as if stabbed by needles.

Fu Han seemed normal on the surface, but in reality...

The light turned green. An elderly man with a cane walked leisurely across the zebra crossing, unruffled, as if the surrounding traffic did not exist to him.

Liang Tao pressed down hard on the brakes, terrified that he might inadvertently hit the accelerator. If he remotely scratched that old man, he would be done for, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t cleanse him.

He Xing unconsciously tapped the armrest of his seat. After a while, he slowly asked, "Do you know which lawyer Mr. Fu has hired?"

"I don’t know," answered Liang Tao promptly. Once the old man had moved on, he pressed the gas pedal to the floor and the car shot out like an arrow from a bow. "Chairman He, Mr. Fu’s people are very good at keeping secrets; we couldn’t find out anything."

"Hmm," came He Xing’s response as he closed his eyes, recalling his conversation with Fu Xingbo from the day before. It seemed that Fu Xingbo didn’t trust him either or thought that he was confused.

The morning in City A was bustling with private cars, buses, and rail cars zooming along the roads. The streets were spacious but often congested, especially during rush hour like now.

However, the traffic didn’t affect He Xing much as his eyes were glued to the computer screen, his hands constantly typing, his expression serious.

About ten minutes later, the traffic finally smoothed out.

Having mustered up the courage, Liang Tao finally spoke again: "Chairman He, the current situation is that, based on Miss Fu’s and Lady Bai Wei’s accusations against Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, the existing evidence isn’t sufficient. However, Xia Cheng and Xia Ning went for a medical examination immediately and are now using the medical reports to accuse Su Cheng and Luo Qinghe."

He Xing’s brows furrowed deeply, his handsome face darkening with a sinister look that sent chills down Liang Tao’s spine, causing his legs to shake involuntarily.

The Xia Group building was now in sight. Liang Tao, gathering his courage, said, "Chairman He, we’ve just learned that Yi Lixing met with Chairman Xia last night, talking for over two hours."

The name "Yi Lixing" intensified the cold aura surrounding He Xing.

This man, whom He Xing had personally promoted to oversee the He Group, had earned He Xing’s full trust only to be bought off by Xia Guoxiong, leaking tender details to the Xia Family several times.

After firing him, He Xing had continued to keep an eye on Yi Lixing. Seeing no further use for him, Xia Guoxiong parted ways with Yi Lixing, but then Yi Lixing got mixed up with Yang Kaitai, and the shady deeds Yang Kaitai had done couldn’t have been without Yi Lixing’s behind-the-scenes scheming.

Unexpectedly, while Yang Kaitai ended up back in prison, Yi Lixing managed to extricate himself unscathed from the murky situation, now once again colluding with Xia Guoxiong.

Initially, He Xing had shown leniency to Yi Lixing, partly to prevent the tender issue from blowing up and making the Xia Group a laughingstock in the industry, but also in consideration of their past superior-subordinate relationship. Who could have expected things to turn out this way?

Indeed, one should sweep away the enemy like autumn leaves, leaving no mercy!

He Xing and Liang Tao entered the Xia Group building. Although He Xing seldom came here, even the security guard at the entrance recognized him and greeted him with bows and nods. He proceeded unhindered to the door of Xia Guoxiong’s office.

However, Xia Guoxiong’s assistant was not as welcoming upon seeing He Xing. The assistant said that Xia Guoxiong was currently in a meeting and if He Xing was willing to wait, he could; otherwise, he could leave.

Instantly fired up upon hearing this, Liang Tao moved forward to argue with Xia Guoxiong’s assistant, "Usually it’s your Chairman Xia begging our Chairman He to come over. Now that our Chairman He is here, what kind of attitude is this?"

Standing like a teapot, the assistant with a waist like a snake and a face like a vixen, had the air of owning the Xia Group: "Past is past, now is now. I’ve said our Chairman Xia is in a meeting. You’ve come up without an appointment, and it’s already polite not to have kicked you out immediately."
