Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Help Me!_1

Because of some suspicions, Huo Yutong had finished her meal and specifically took a stroll in the streets, only to discover that what the boss had said was indeed true.

Whether it was rent, property prices, vegetables, fruits, and so on, everything was much lower than on the Tianhai side.

And the variety was extremely rich.

Beyond that, she noticed a peculiar phenomenon.

On almost every street, one could see a public welfare store owned by Xinmeng Group.

These stores were said to be shops, but the items inside were not purchased with money, but with citizen points instead.

Doing good deeds, contributing to society, having no criminal record, and so on, would all accumulate citizen points.

These citizen points could be used in the public welfare stores to boldly purchase items—anything produced by Xinmeng Group was available.

Of course, some food and medicines were specifically provided for the poor and were completely free.

"What exactly is Xinmeng Group? Could it be that they are using all their income for public welfare?"

Huo Yutong was astoundingly surprised.

Walking on the street, a casual inquiry would yield nothing but praise for Xinmeng Group and Tianxing Company from the passersby.

It felt akin to the worship of a deity.

This made Huo Yutong feel somewhat incredulous.

"I don’t believe there’s such a good company in the world!"

Huo Yutong, having experienced the warmth and coldness of humanity, naturally harbored doubts about Xinmeng Group.

She decided to see it for herself.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

However, at this moment, her phone rang—it was a call from Zhang Meiyu.

"Meiyu, you simply can’t imagine, there’s a company here that might realize all my dreams.

I’m so excited!

I think I might have made the right choice."

She was bursting with excitement as she answered the call.

On the other end, Zhang Meiyu remained silent for a long time.

After a while, a cold voice spoke up: "Your dream?

You made the right choice?

Huo Yutong, Huo Yutong, I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to dare to run to Jiangnan Prefecture.

Did you take my words for nothing but wind?"

The voice on the phone belonged to Xu Shaoming.

This caused Huo Yutong’s complexion to change instantly; she was both frightened and uneasy.

Why was Xu Shaoming with Zhang Meiyu?

Would this lunatic Xu Shaoming actually chase her to Jiangnan Prefecture?

"Xu Shaoming, what have you done to Meiyu?"

Huo Yutong said coldly.

"Heh, true best friends in this world, even at this time, you still care about her.

Better worry about yourself!"

Xu Shaoming sneered, "You think escaping to Jiangcheng, we would have no way to deal with you?

I give you one day to come back obediently, and by the way, tell us your father’s address.

Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences!"

After speaking, the call was disconnected.

Huo Yutong’s face turned pale to the extreme.

She was worried about Zhang Meiyu and also about herself.

How could things have developed to this stage, what should she do?

Could Xu Shaoming really be that crazy, truly fearing nothing?

Was he not going to stop until her father was dead?

In a flurry, Huo Yutong ran back to her residence.

But she didn’t know what to do next.

Go back?

What could she do if she went back?

Could she save Zhang Meiyu?

Could she save her father?

She suddenly felt overcome by endless loss and despair.

Her life had just begun seeing some light, how could it suddenly have entered a dead end?

"No, I must go back. Meiyu is innocent.

No matter what, I must save Meiyu first."

After wrestling with her thoughts for a long time, Huo Yutong finally made up her mind.

Even if it meant breaking herself, she couldn’t let Zhang Meiyu be implicated.

However, just as she was packing her things to leave, a call from Liu Haoran came.

"Don’t come back! Don’t you dare come back! Zhang Meiyu has betrayed you!

I’m hiding at a friend’s place right now; I am safe."

"Whatever you do, don’t come back, or you’ll fall right into their trap!"

"Remember this!"

Liu Haoran seemed to be in a hurry, and he hung up before Huo Yutong could ask anything.

Huo Yutong stood there, stunned. In fact, she had already begun to suspect Zhang Meiyu.

But she was unwilling to admit that her close friend could actually betray her.

Liu Haoran’s words had confirmed her suspicions, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

If it hadn’t been for Liu Haoran’s unwavering support, she would’ve started to wonder if there was anyone in the world worth trusting.

"What should I do?"

Huo Yutong’s thought process had always been clear; what she was living for and what her goal was—

Both were crystal clear.

But reality had left her utterly clueless.

She felt truly pathetic.

Amidst the conflict and despair, Huo Yutong hid in a corner and wept secretly.

Unknowingly, it was already past five o’clock.

Her phone rang again.

She glanced at it but didn’t pick up, fearing she might hear more dreadful news.

However, the phone kept ringing, as if the caller was determined not to give up.

Finally, she picked up the phone, and the display showed her father’s number.

She cried, but it seemed as though she had suddenly found her pillar of strength.

"Dad!"

Upon answering the call, she broke down crying and couldn’t get her words out.

"Help me, please help me!"

She kept repeating.

"Where are you? I’ll come get you!"

Huo Gang had just gotten off work when he saw a call from his daughter and hurriedly called back.

But what he heard was his daughter’s agonized crying and pleas for help.

Seeing the location on the phone,

Huo Gang finally realized that his daughter had already made it to Jiangcheng, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In Jiangcheng, he really wasn’t afraid that his daughter would run into any trouble.

"Buddy, could you please take me to this place?"

Huo Gang said to his driver.

"No problem!"

The driver didn’t ask for details.

Tianxing Company had entrusted him with Huo Gang’s safety and to satisfy all of Huo Gang’s demands to the best of his ability.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the hotel, and after asking the hotel boss, Huo Gang soon found his daughter.

His daughter, sobbing in a corner.

"Dad!"

Seeing Huo Gang, Huo Yutong cried even harder.

All her grievances poured out, "I just wanted to do something that I loved, why is it so hard?"

"My dear child, don’t cry, stop crying!

No matter the difficulty, as long as Dad’s here, there’s nothing to worry about!"

Huo Gang consoled his daughter, his heart aching for her.

Huo Yutong finally began to calm down.

They checked out of the hotel and went outside together.

Seeing the brand new Audi A6, Huo Yutong was taken aback.

"Dad, did you strike it rich?"

Huo Gang scratched his head: "I met a good boss, gave me a house and a car right when I started working.

Let’s talk more in the car!"

The car headed towards Huo Gang’s new home.

In the car, Huo Gang shared his recent experiences.

When it came to the part about his mother being cured, Huo Yutong was utterly astonished.

"Wasn’t it supposed to be incurable?"

"That’s what they said, but there just happened to be someone who could work miracles!"

Huo Gang said excitedly, "That person is the husband of our company’s chairwoman.

To show my gratitude, I joined their company, and now I’m the director of the research center.

A salary of two hundred thousand a month, and that’s not even including bonuses!"

Huo Yutong felt like she was dreaming.

One in Tianhai City, the other in Jiangcheng.

Both striving for their dreams, yet their outcomes were so vastly different.
