Chapter 141 Are you sure you want to help Qin Xiang?
The sound of emergency brakes rang out, and Huo Muchen got out of the driver's seat. His eyes caught sight of Lin Xiangyao, who was waiting quietly at the door.
He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Where are they?"
Lin Xiangyao looked at him, a ripple of emotion stirring within her. Huo Muchen before her was handsome and refined, his brows revealing an extraordinary air, now tinged with a mixture of anxiety and domineering presence. She smiled slightly and said softly:
"They are in the drawing room,"
Huo Muchen didn't say much, but his pace quickened involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangyao quickly followed his steps, and the two walked one after the other towards the reception room.
Lin Xiangyao kept stealing glances at Huo Muchen's profile, a strange feeling welling up inside her. Huo Muchen, on the other hand, remained serious. The two walked briskly and soon arrived at the door of the reception room.
Huo Muchen turned the handle and found the door locked from the inside. He knocked lightly a few times. Liu Shiyin heard the knocks and thought it was Lin Xiangyao bringing in tea. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Muchen with a worried expression.
"Mu Chen, why are you back now?"
Seeing Liu Shiyin's teary eyes, Huo Muchen didn't say anything, but put his arm around her and walked into the room.
“Aunt Lin, Qin Xiang’s matter has nothing to do with Shi Yin. You should not trespass into my Huo family’s home.”
Huo Muchen's words were as cold as frost, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword.
Looking at Huo Muchen's icy face, Lin Jing felt a chill of fear creep into her heart. She explained in a trembling voice:
"I'm sorry, Mu Chen. Uncle Qin and I have been unable to contact you and are truly at our wits' end."
Seeing this, Liu Shiyin felt a mix of emotions.
"Mu Chen, please don't be like this. What about Miss Qin's matter...?"
Huo Muchen interrupted her, his tone firm:
"As I've already said, this matter has been properly handled. Qin Xiang's attempted murder was unsuccessful; that's an undeniable fact."
After hearing Huo Muchen's words, Lin Jing seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her like this, Liu Shiyin felt extremely distressed. She looked at Huo Muchen, her eyes filled with pleading and expectation:
"Mu Chen, I'm begging you, please help Aunt Lin."
Looking into her tearful eyes, Huo Muchen felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
He knew that Liu Shiyin was a kind and gentle girl, and that her request was not unreasonable, but came from a sincere heart.
Huo Muchen sighed deeply, and looking at Liu Shiyin's resolute gaze, he said:
Are you sure you want to help Qin Xiang?
Lin Xiangyao and Lin Jing both focused their attention on Liu Shiyin.
She took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze:
Yes, I'm sure.
Huo Muchen nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed a number:
"Let's hold off on Qin Xiang's case for a while longer, just let her get some punishment. Hmm, let's change it to one year."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jing rushed to Huo Muchen's side, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
"Thank you, thank you, Mu Chen. Thank you, Miss Liu,"
Liu Shiyin held Lin Jing's hand and gently shook her head.
Huo Muchen did not respond, but turned to Lin Xiangyao and said:
"Take Madam Lin back."
Lin Xiangyao was still reeling from the shock of the wealthy man's absolute power when she heard Huo Muchen's words, and quickly replied:
"Oh well."
She walked quickly to Lin Jing's side and said softly:
"Mrs. Lin, please come with me."
Accompanied by Lin Xiangyao, Lin Jing left the Huo family.
