Chapter 518: He Couldn’t Stay Calm

Su Chenghui thought through and then left. Watching him leave, Su Qingsang wasn’t sure if she did the right thing or not.

That man was her father after all. She didn’t have the heart to see him suffer. If he really loved Li Qianxue, why wouldn’t he give both himself and her a chance?

However, thinking about Li Qianxue made Su Qingsang struggle. If Li Qianxue decided not to forgive Su Chenghui in the end, she would probably blame Su Qingsang for motivating him.

“Don’t worry, mom won’t blame you.”

Just then, Su Yuxin came and sat down next to Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang didn’t even realize that he had come downstairs.

“You heard it?”

“Yes,” Su Yuxin said. He was young but was no longer a kid.

“Sister, don’t worry. Mom wouldn’t be mad at you for real, even if she’s really unhappy.”

“There is nothing I can do to make her happy if she gets mad at me.” Su Qingsang couldn’t bear to let Su Chenghui live a miserable life. Not only her, but Su Yuxin also wished that the family would be as close as it used to be.

Neither of them had any idea what Li Qianxue was going to do.

…

Rong City.

Huo Jinyao had just finished talking to Su Qingsang on the phone. He wasn’t as calm as he had sounded.

He looked at Yang Wenchang a little sullen-faced. “What do you mean by Qiao Hong is gone?”

“I had people watching his apartment. He hadn’t come out in the past few days, so I sent someone to knock on his door using the excuse of collecting property management. Then, we found out that he wasn’t home. We checked the surveillance video and found that last night, he left under a different disguise.”

Yang Wenchang felt very guilty about failing his job. He never thought that he could let the target leave right under his watch.

Huo Jinyao waved his hand. There had indeed been a lot of work to do in the company lately. The partnership deal with Ickes had been problematic also. Huo Yifan and his brother were playing all kinds of small tricks to cause Huo Jinyao trouble.

However, Something more serious was happening at the moment. The data of the new products that Huo Jinyao’s company developed for the next season had been stolen by Qiao Hong, a man working for Huo Jinyao.

That was the reason why Huo Jinyao didn’t have the time to go to Lin City together with Su Qingsang.

He returned to the company and sent his people to keep Qiao Hong under his watch. He didn’t call the police, because it was already the crucial moment for the launch of their new products. No accidents were allowed.

Things could be under control if Qiao Hong only intended to threaten the company with the date and name a price. However, if he sold it to one of the rival companies…

Thinking of that caused the look on Huo Jinyao’s face to grow even more sullen.

“President Huo, maybe we should call the police.”

“No, this will become breaking news once we call the police. If this has nothing to do with our rival companies, the situation will only become even more complicated.”

“I want to know everything about Qiao Hong. Email me his file. I’ll send people to find him.”

Yang Wenchang nodded and soon left. Huo Jinyao picked up his phone and started to make phone calls.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Huo Jinyao thought it was Yang Wenchang, but instead, Ding Qing came in.

“President Huo,” she said, and quickly walked up to Huo Jinyao, holding a file.

“I’ve dug into Qiao Hong’s background and asked his co-workers and neighbors about him. I heard that he has a girlfriend. They were going to get married, but something happened recently.”

“What happened?” For the very first time, Huo Jinyao was impressed by Ding Qing’s high level of efficiency.

Ding Qing was the one who had found that both Qiao Hong and the confidential data from the company were missing. She joined the project midway, but since Zhang Yang was also part of it, she had learned quite a lot about it from him after joining the project.

“Qiao Hong’s girlfriend has uremia. She needs a new kidney. Qiao Hong can’t afford her medical expenses, so I think that’s the reason why he stole the data.”

Huo Jinyao knitted his brows. He didn’t agree with Ding Qing.

Tianyu Group provided its employees with great welfare. Qiao Hong could have talked to the financial department and asked for help instead of touching the company’s assets.

But in the meanwhile, Huo Jinyao also sighed with relief. Things would be more controllable as long as it wasn’t planned by the rival companies or Huo Yifan and his brother.

“I’ve found the hospital his girlfriend is in,” said Ding Qing. She put the file on Huo Jinyao’s desk. “President Huo, maybe I should visit her and try to find Qiao Hong.”

“I’ll do that myself,” said Huo Jinyao, as she glanced at the name of the hospital. Coincidentally, it was also the central hospital where Su Qingsang was working in.

“If what Qiao Hong wants is money, he’ll know that we’re looking for him. President Huo, you are the president after all. I’m afraid that he might not be honest with you.”

Ding Qing merely shared her own opinion. “You see, you’re the boss while he’s an employee. What he did has made you his enemy, so I think I should go.”

Ding Qing was right. Her words reminded Huo Jinyao of the severity of the situation. Ding Qing was new in the company, so not everyone knew her yet. Not even Yang Wenchang was better than her for the job, even though the entire company knew that Yang Wenchang was Huo Jinyao’s assistant.

“Aright, you can go. It’ll be good if you can find him, but it won’t be a problem if you can’t.”

“Yes, sir.” Ding Qing dropped her eyelids. The look on her face was not so serious. “President Huo, don’t worry. I’ll find him.”

“Just try your best,” said Huo Jinyao. He knew that Ding Qing hadn’t put all her abilities and skills to use yet.

He wanted to know exactly how capable she was.

Ding Qing accepted the task and then left. Soon after lunch, she returned.

“Qiao Hong wasn’t there. I’ve talked to his girlfriend. She has no idea what Qiao Hong has been doing. I couldn’t make it too clear to her, as she’s sick.”

Ding Qing paused briefly. Looking at Huo Jinyao and Yang Wenchang, she continued saying, “but, I told her that I had left my phone at home and asked to borrow hers. I called Qiao Hong with his girlfriend’s phone, and he answered the call.”

Both Huo Jinyao and Yang Wenchang looked at her with curiosity, waiting for her to carry on.

“He has agreed to meet with me tonight.”

Huo Jinyao and Yang Wenchang glanced at each other. After making eye-contact, Huo Jinyao said to Ding Qing, “When? Where?”

“Blue Night.”

Huo Jinyao furrowed his brows. Once again, he and Yang Wenchang both looked at Ding Qing.

“President Huo, you see…” Ding Qing said to him. Huo Jinyao clearly knew that he could not let Ding Qing go to that place alone.

Blue Night was a very famous night club in Rong City. It was where cash pooled, and it only accepted VIP members. The ones without membership weren’t allowed in.

“I’ll go with you tonight.”

Huo Jinyao intended to solve the problem before it turned into news.

He did not only need to solve the problem as soon as possible but also had to keep it a secret from the board of directors, especially Huo Yifan and his brother.

After all, they had so many small tricks to play still. Huo Jinyao didn’t want them to grab the opportunity to go against him.

That night, Huo Jinyao arrived at Blue Night together with Ding Qing and Yang Wenchang at the agreed time.

Yang Wenchang stopped the car. Then, he turned to Huo Jinyao who was sitting in the backseat and said, “President Huo, maybe I should go with Miss. Ding.”
