Chapter 106: Strength Was the Most Important Factor

On the second day in Jing City, Mo Yan and Li Guoguo started to get busy.

According to their plan, Mo Yan and Li Guoguo left the hotel at around seven o’clock. They thought that it was a good idea to leave at that time, but...

“Mo Yan, how long will the traffic jam last?” Li Guoguo said to Mo Yan with a mournful face.

Mo Yan was also quite dumbfounded. Seeing that the meter was beating non-stop, she could feel her heart bleeding.

“Guoguo, from what I remember, taxi fees during our business trip should be reimbursed!”

Although Mo Yan remembered that there was such a rule, if the taxi fare was too high, the company might think that she was lying about it!

Glancing at the meter, Li Guoguo said hesitantly, “It must be reimbursed!”

After waiting for a while, the car was finally able to move. Mo Yan asked the driver to drop them off at the nearest bus stop, and the two of them took the bus to their destination.

The location of Lin Group’s real estate project was rather remote, so the two of them still needed to walk a bit more after getting off the bus. They heard that it was because of the good feng shui here that Lin Group decided to develop a mid-to high-end villa area here.

It was already close to 10 o’clock when the two of them started working.

In the Huo Group building located in the most prosperous area of Jing City, Luo Tao was sitting behind his desk listening to his subordinates’ reports.

During the few months that he had been away, although he had given instructions to his subordinates remotely, there were still some things that he needed to personally deal with.

“Fourth Master, before you left, Second Master had wanted to interfere with the Board of Directors’ elections and the bidding for new projects.”

“Okay.” Luo Tao gently rubbed his temples and responded.

After his call with Mo Yan last night, Luo Tao had drunk quite a lot with the bunch of them.

They did not care about their image as heirs. First, it was beer, then red wine, and finally white wine. Even Luo Tao, who thought that he would never get drunk, could not take it anymore.

As for Qin Yuan, he was a chatterbox. When he was drunk, he would tell everyone everything. He even asked Luo Tao how it felt to have a wife.

It would be a good time for Luo Tao to talk to Uncle Qin about replaceing Qin Yuan a wife.

“Huo Zhen! What did I do to offend you? Why did you call me here in the morning. My head hurts!”

The person who spoke was none other than Qin Yuan, whom Luo Tao had been thinking about. He lay on the sofa in Luo Tao’s office, half-dead and wailing.

Luo Tao ignored him and continued to let his subordinates report.

“There’s no news from third uncle?”

“No.” Just as he replied, his subordinate seemed to have thought of something that he had missed out on. “One month after your accident, Third Master and Old Master had a private conversation. No one knows the details of what they talked about.”

“Okay.”

Before Luo Tao could say anything, Qin Yuan interrupted.

“Private conversation? What? Huo Zhen, is your third uncle trying to stir up trouble again?”

As he spoke, Qin Yuan sauntered over to Luo Tao’s desk. He drank the coffee in front of Luo Tao in one gulp and continued, “If it were up to me, your third uncle would be in trouble.”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was chattering non-stop, his subordinates looked at Luo Tao. Luo Tao frowned and asked his men to leave.

“How much did you drink last night?”

Luo Tao asked casually. He did not expect Qin Yuan to actually recall it in detail.

“11 or 12 bottles of beer, red... I can’t remember. White... I can’t remember either.”

Luo Tao held his forehead. He now felt that Qin Yuan was even more unreliable.

“How’s the task I gave you going?” Luo Tao asked.

Although he wanted to let Mo Yan learn how to handle her problem alone, he could still help her with small things.

Qin Yuan used his slow brain to think. “Oh! Are you talking about those stupid women, Mo Lian?”

“They’ve been dealt with. The video evidence is sufficient. They’ll be locked up for a few days and have to write a self-reflection. After they’re released, they’ll apologize to sister-in-law one by one. Is that alright?”

Although it was a question, Qin Yuan felt that it was enough.

However, Luo Tao still felt that it was not enough. Every time he thought of Mo Yan’s crying face that day, his heart would ache.

Luo Tao glanced at Qin Yuan indifferently and did not continue talking about this topic.

“Help me investigate the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing.”

“Investigate him? What did he do to your mistress?” Qin Yuan asked improperly. A company of Hong Jing’s scale was really not worthy of Luo Tao’s attention. Therefore, every time Luo Tao brought up Hong Jing, it would be related to Mo Yan.

As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, he saw Luo Tao’s cold gaze. His eyes were cold.

“Eh, my bad. Hehe, I mean sister-in-law.”

After hearing Qin Yuan’s change of words, Luo Tao retracted his gaze.

However, it was also because of these drunken words that Luo Tao suddenly realized that for someone of Huo Zhen’s status, Mo Yan’s current situation was still a little tricky.

“The data that Mo Yan brought to Jing City was ruined by someone else. I think it was the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing who did it.”
