Chapter 75: Chapter 75: I’ll Take Care of the Rest Myself

Qiao Rui was very skeptical, and when she looked at Pei Liyan again, the man’s handsome, cold, black face seemed to be enveloped in a layer of icy glow.

She was very puzzled and frowned, "Of course it’s worth it."

For a friend, there was no need to quibble over whether it was worth it or not.

At her words, Pei Liyan’s complexion turned ashen, "He’s indeed lucky, to have you so concerned about him, even almost losing your life for him."

"What does this have to do with Mr. Pei? Get in the car quickly and stop fussing." Qiao Rui shook off Pei Liyan’s arm and got into the car.

The man’s hand was empty, and his heart felt empty too.

But seeing the girl getting into the car, sitting there as if she disdained him, a trace of helplessness flashed through his deep, ink-like eyes.

Yes, what did this have to do with him?

He was being nosy, even rushing to be scolded.

Qiao Rui’s attention was all on the driver of Factory Director Xu.

"You were not being honest just now, I know you were pressured by your factory director, but now, you have no choice."

The driver could only say softly, "Miss Rui, actually, Mr. Huo wasn’t attacked by our factory director."

"Really?" Qiao Rui’s tone was clearly one of disbelief.

"It was our factory director’s arch-enemy, He Dong." The driver whispered, "He attacked Mr. Huo, trying to frame our factory director."

Qiao Rui’s eyes shifted, and she glanced at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan’s gaze was indifferent, showing no emotion.

Qiao Rui had no choice but to speak, "What do you think?"

"What?" Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow in response.

"Do you think what he said is true or false?" Qiao Rui asked.

Pei Liyan looked up at the driver in front, who, intimidated by Pei Liyan’s imposing manner, trembled with fear, "I dare not lie."

Qiao Rui slightly raised her eyebrows, her gaze falling on the driver.

"Our factory director may not be a good person either, but Mr. Huo’s arrival only led to a severe scolding for him, making it difficult for him to swallow his pride, so he wanted Mr. Huo to suffer at the hands of others first, actually planning to rescue him after he had enough trouble."

It was indeed using others to punish Huo Sinan, a classic case of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Hearing this, Qiao Rui narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Then I ask you, did Xu, the factory director, tamper with the food that Miss Song and I had yesterday?"

The driver was startled, shook his head, and said confidently, "Definitely not!"

Qiao Rui’s cold gaze fixed on him, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because although the factory director is lecherous, he is still very particular. He said if he touched any of the people brought by Huo Sinan, it would truly be a minor gain for a major loss."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, so it seemed that this factory director was somewhat particular.

But, it didn’t rule out the possibility that he drugged the food without the driver knowing.

Pei Liyan looked sternly at the driver and said coldly, "First, take us to find Huo Sinan!"

"Yes." The driver nodded quickly. "Go straight ahead, it’s in the village ahead."

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at a village located in Tea Mountain, likely inhabited by tea farmers.

It appeared to be a rather prosperous village.

"It’s right ahead." The driver pointed to the village ahead.

"What exactly happened?" Pei Liyan demanded again, "Tell us everything you know."

Intimidated by the pressure from Pei Liyan, the driver dared not speak.

At that moment, Fang Mo, who had been silent, took over the conversation, "President, Miss Rui, their factory has a deputy director named He Dong, who didn’t get along with the factory director and wanted to replace him. Later, the factory director figured out a way to get rid of He Dong, and then He Dong took many collaborating farmers with him, undermining old Xu’s position, thus intensifying their conflict."

The driver was startled; everything Fang Mo said was true.

Qiao Rui looked at Pei Liyan with deep eyes; it turned out they had all investigated.

The things Fang Mo mentioned seemed more credible.

"So you all knew about this." The driver whispered softly, "Our factory director indeed knew Mr. Huo had been attacked and was also detained. He just wanted to use this opportunity to let Mr. Huo suffer a bit before rescuing him; it’s not like he really didn’t care."

"He is really scheming." Qiao Rui’s gaze sharply focused on the driver, "So now, where are Huo Sinan and Lei Ting detained?"

"Right in that residence up ahead." The driver pointed ahead.

It was a luxurious manor, even though it was deep in the countryside, it still looked quite opulent.

The building was large, with guards at the gate.

Seeing their car arrive, the guards immediately surrounded them.

"They have a lot of people; you should be careful." The driver kindly warned, "This He Dong is not a good person either."

"Is there no good person in your tea factory?" Qiao Rui said coldly.

The driver was rendered speechless.

Pei Liyan glanced at Qiao Rui, so many people, he wanted to see how Qiao Rui would handle it.

Receiving his gaze, Qiao Rui also looked at Pei Liyan, then looked at the many people surrounding the car outside, densely packed.

She thought Pei Liyan didn’t want to get involved, so Qiao Rui said, "Mr. Pei, thank you for your help today; I can handle the rest myself."

Pei Liyan’s brow furrowed, his gaze icy as he glanced at her sidelong.

Qiao Rui couldn’t be bothered to talk to him any further and stretched out her hand to open the door.

"Who’s there?"

The people surrounding the car shouted, and seeing a delicate girl get out, everyone was taken aback by her appearance.

Someone, already harboring ill intentions, commented, "Little sister, what are you here for?"

Qiao Rui looked at the group and said sternly, "Call your boss here."

"Little sister, quite the attitude," the leader laughed sinisterly.

Qiao Rui coldly glanced at them and walked forward.

No one expected her to barge in; they all laughed maliciously, "Little sister, so pretty, really charming."

Qiao Rui furrowed her brows slightly, a flash of annoyance in her eyes as she no longer wished to waste time, especially not on these disrespectful men. Raising her foot, she fiercely kicked one of them.

The kick sent the man flying several meters away, clearing a path instantly.

Everyone was shocked, a hint of caution flashing in their eyes, "Fellows, this girl is quite skilled, very spicy, let’s go together!"

Qiao Rui, not wanting to waste more time—a waste that was becoming more frequent—had lost all patience and just wanted to resolve everything quickly to find Huo Sinan and return to Qingcheng sooner.

Seeing a group of big men surrounding a slender girl attempting to make a move—

But the girl was not at all afraid, calm and composed, kicking down several strong men.

Fang Mo was startled by this scene, not expecting her to be so capable.

At that moment, Pei Liyan’s squinting eyes emitted a sharp light, "Get out and help her fight!"

"Yes!"

Fang Mo quickly got out of the car.

Although Qiao Rui was very capable, she was still a girl after all.

Fang Mo joined in swiftly.

Qiao Rui was stunned and turned to look at Pei Liyan.

He had also gotten out of the car; in the sunlight, the man seemed to be enveloped in a layer of white light, akin to an Immortal.

Qiao Rui felt slightly dazed.

Seeing her looking at him, Pei Liyan’s brow furrowed, and he shouted sharply, "Be careful!"
