Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Love’s Punishment

Mo Yuan felt that she understood less and less about Huo Shaoyan and dared not offend him.

She thought for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Huo Shaoyan responded evasively, "Your brain isn’t damaged, don’t you have any judgment yourself?"

Mo Yuan was taken aback but didn’t get angry.

She objectively analyzed, "I suspect it’s... An Muxin’s doing. An Muxin has this set of videos in her hands."

Upon hearing this, the man glanced at her, "How do you know An Muxin also has this set of videos?"

Mo Yuan quickly explained:

"Previously, An Muxin sent me this video to provoke a rift between me and An Ge. At that time, you weren’t willing to talk to me, so I didn’t have the chance to mention it to you."

Huo Shaoyan raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Mo Yuan said, "If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do."

...

On the other side.

After meeting with Gu Changfeng, An Ge discovered that all news links and videos online had been forcibly removed.

Some sensitive words, like Gu Changfeng’s name, couldn’t even be typed in the search bar.

Once it was confirmed that the negative news online had been taken down, An Ge called Huo Qingzhou, who was far away in Continent M.

She hadn’t contacted Huo Qingzhou for a while now.

Huo Qingzhou was quite surprised to receive her call,

"Well, nothing brings you to the temple without reason. Tell me, what do you need from me?"

An Ge said, "I need you to investigate someone for me."

Huo Qingzhou replied, "Who?"

"An Muxin’s whereabouts in Continent M."

Huo Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, "Okay. But you’ll have to visit Continent M to complete a surgical operation for me."

An Ge asked, "Who is the surgery for?"

Huo Qingzhou replied, "For my old man. He has a tricky tumor in his brainstem; if the incision is bad, it could cause massive bleeding, and he might not survive the operation."

An Ge asked, "Is it urgent?"

Huo Qingzhou responded, "Urgent."

An Ge thought for a moment and said, "I can perform the surgery for Uncle Huo. But I need you to do me another favor."

Huo Qingzhou laughed and scolded, "Unreasonable. How can asking you to perform a surgery be so difficult? Tell me, what is it?"

An Ge said, "Help me get someone out of the police station."

"Who?"

"Gu Changfeng."

Huo Qingzhou frowned, "Gu Changfeng? The one rumored to be Qin Jingzhi, the Sixth Son of Qin Family?"

An Ge replied, "It’s not a rumor; he is indeed Qin Jingzhi, the Sixth Son of Qin Family. I am Qin Xiaoqi, the Seventh of the Qin family."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Qingzhou was silent for a while before replying, "This matter, I can only try my best, but I can’t guarantee."

After ending the call with Huo Qingzhou, An Ge packed her bags and headed to Continent M.

When she arrived at the airport, Huo Shaoyan received the news that she was flying to Continent M.

Qin Lang, with a complex expression, said to him:

"President, do you... want to secretly accompany Ms. An? She’s a pregnant woman, just in case..."

Huo Shaoyan interrupted him coldly, "There’s no ’just in case.’ Send more people to protect her secretly."

Qin Lang sighed, "Alright then."

Huo Shaoyan asked him, "Have you figured out who is secretly instigating this?"

Qin Lang replied, "We’ve almost finished investigating. It was An Muxin, who fled to Continent M, that exposed the video. Secretly instigating and escalating your conflict with Gu Changfeng is Commander An.

My guess is that Commander An wants to silence Gu Changfeng, thus stopping his investigation into the Qin family massacre from years ago."

Huo Shaoyan asked, "Is Mo Yuan involved in this?"

Qin Lang replied, "No."

After a pause,

"However, Ms. Mo Yuan has recently been in contact with a man wearing a silver mask, but unfortunately, the man is extremely cautious, and we haven’t been able to uncover his true identity."

Huo Shaoyan pondered for a moment and said, "Withdraw all those secretly monitoring Mo Yuan." He paused, "Wait for my further instructions."

Qin Lang, "Yes."

After Qin Lang left, Huo Shaoyan called Jiang Qingyi.

He almost never called Jiang Qingyi proactively, so Jiang Qingyi was quite flattered,

"Hey, why did you suddenly call me?"

"Are you particularly short of money?"

Jiang Qingyi had borrowed one million from An Ge, but after Jiang Fengmian found out, she was forced to pay it back.

Since then, Jiang Fengmian punished her, and she couldn’t get a single penny out of her now.

Her phone bill was overdue during the day, and she begged Jiang Fengmian for a long time before he topped it up.

Currently, she was in the hospital, serving Jiang Fengmian like a nanny... Oh no, more like a slave.

She was really impoverished.

"Yes. Desperately."

Huo Shaoyan, "I’ll give you ten million!"

Huo Shaoyan’s words were astonishing.

Jiang Qingyi’s eyes lit up for a second, but the next moment, she felt extremely uneasy, "You... can you possibly be so kind-hearted?"

"Help me with something."

Jiang Qingyi, "I won’t do anything involving murder, arson, or any crimes."

Huo Shaoyan sneered coldly:

"You already split open Jiang Fengmian’s head; if it were someone else, you’d definitely be serving a prison sentence."

Jiang Qingyi pouted, "Do you think I’m having it easy now? I was brought back by his bodyguards, and every day I serve him like a slave; it’d be better to send me to prison for a meal."

Huo Shaoyan said, "That’s why you should take my ten million and escape the misery."

Jiang Qingyi was intrigued: "What exactly do you want me to help you with?"

Huo Shaoyan said: "Don’t worry, I won’t make you do anything illegal. Take the money I gave you and go to M Continent for a trip. Buy whatever you want, ask me for more if it’s not enough."

Jiang Qingyi: "Pie falling from the sky?"

Huo Shaoyan felt Jiang Qingyi wasn’t entirely naive, so he semi-genuinely said to her:

"I need Jiang Fengmian to go to M Continent to help me with something, but he’s staying put in the hospital because of the head injury you caused,

So I can only work through you. If you experience a little ’accident’ in M Continent, he will definitely come to your rescue."

Jiang Qingyi: "You wouldn’t be thinking about kidnapping me in M Continent, would you?"

Huo Shaoyan: "Once you’re in M Continent, just find a reason to trick him into coming over. Once it’s done, I’ll give you ten million as a big reward."

With great reward comes courage.

Jiang Qingyi readily agreed.

...

M Continent is far, across the oceans, and takes dozens of hours by plane.

An Ge arrived in M Continent the next afternoon.

Huo Qingzhou personally picked her up at the airport.

An Ge needed to adjust to the time difference. After having a local dinner, she went straight to bed.

Afterwards, Huo Qingzhou made a call to Huo Shaoyan, "The old man is critically ill, do you want to come over?"

Huo Zhenwei indeed wanted to see Huo Shaoyan.

That’s why Huo Qingzhou made this call to Huo Shaoyan.

He thought Huo Shaoyan would refuse, but unexpectedly, he agreed, "Okay."

Huo Qingzhou was quite surprised: "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t acknowledge him as your father even if you died?"

Huo Shaoyan said: "Isn’t he critically ill and about to die? I’m going to see him off, isn’t that allowed?"

Huo Qingzhou: "Is that so? How come I find it hard to believe?"

Huo Shaoyan didn’t bother with the idle talk: "Stay out of Jingcheng matters. And even more so, don’t touch Gu Changfeng’s affairs."

Huo Qingzhou said: "Aren’t you being foolish? Even though I’m in M Continent, I’ve already had someone investigate the case. It’s obviously a setup against both Gu Changfeng and Xinnxinn. Holding Gu Changfeng indefinitely, does it make sense?"

Huo Shaoyan said: "Mind your own business. I warn you again, don’t meddle in Gu Changfeng’s affairs."

Only by keeping Gu Changfeng locked up can the mastermind outside lower their guard, allowing him to delve deeper into the investigation.

Huo Qingzhou: "But I’ve already promised her to get Gu Changfeng out..."

Huo Shaoyan sneered: "You backtrack; she won’t be able to do anything to you."

Huo Qingzhou cursed: "Huo Shaoyan, you’re really not human. Just because she ditched you, you treat her this way?"

"Beep beep..."

...

Perhaps due to being in the second trimester and utterly exhausted, An Ge slept exceptionally soundly.

She didn’t wake until the afternoon of the next day.

It had been a long time since she had slept so deeply.

After getting up and having some food, she asked Huo Qingzhou,

"How about the task I asked you to do?"

Huo Qingzhou said: "I couldn’t get Gu Changfeng out. But, An Muxin... I’ve found her for you."

He paused, "However, she’s already dead."

An Ge was shocked: "Dead?"

Huo Qingzhou sent a news link to An Ge:

"The private nursing home where she lived caught fire this morning, and her body was burnt to a crisp."

An Ge opened the news link, scanning through it quickly.

The news included some photos, one of which was An Jifeng holding a female corpse.

Huo Qingzhou: "See, Mr. An truly had his hands full with his sister. After finally getting her abroad, she ends up dead. It’s said that evil meets its just end, and An Muxin deserved this fate."

An Ge couldn’t believe An Muxin was really gone.

An Muxin was someone who wanted to live intensely, how could she just die like that?

But with An Jifeng even coming to collect her body, it shouldn’t be a fake death.

Huo Qingzhou noticed her expression wasn’t quite right and asked: "Why are you investigating her?"

An Ge said: "I just want to figure out whether the video framing Gu Changfeng was done by An Muxin. If she did it, following the lead should clear Gu Changfeng’s name."

After she finished speaking, Huo Qingzhou tossed a document in front of An Ge, "Take a look at this first."

"What is it?"

Huo Qingzhou said: "Gu Changfeng registered for a marriage certificate abroad using Qin Jingzhi’s identity with Huo Shaoxin, and it’s been several years."

He paused, adding pointedly,

"As soon as this marriage certificate comes to light, the police station would have to let them go. Fun between legal and lawful spouses is entirely justified."

An Ge was no longer just shocked.

Given this, why didn’t Gu Changfeng tell her the truth at the police station?

Was it because of some concern?

An Ge couldn’t figure it out.

Huo Qingzhou spoke again, addressing the key issue,

"I’ve already arranged for the old man’s pre-surgery preparations, here’s his medical record. You should look into it, and tonight, meet his attending physician?"

An Ge asked: "Who is his attending physician?"

Huo Qingzhou succinctly said: "Wen Shiyu."

Upon hearing, An Ge’s eyes showed a subtle change, "Alright. Once I’ve studied Uncle Huo’s medical record, I’ll meet with him."

Huo Qingzhou then stood up, grabbed his car keys, and said to her:

"I’m heading to the airport later. After you review the medical record, contact him yourself." He paused for a few seconds, "You have his contact info, right?"

Wen Shiyu had once pursued An Ge, but An Ge didn’t reciprocate, so she blocked him.

An Ge said: "I’ll remove him from the blacklist later." She paused, then asked, "Who are you going to meet at the airport?"

Huo Qingzhou gave her a secretive look, "Guess?"

Yep, he was going to pick up Huo Shaoyan.
