Chapter 124 Is it really not you?
This was my first time visiting the Huo family.
I was still thinking about how to get in.
The receptionist greeted me warmly, "Professor Shen, you've arrived. Are you here to see President Huo?"
"Yes." I walked over: "Does your CEO Huo know me?"
The receptionist handed me an access card: "Mr. Huo's assistant instructed that Professor Shen can go up whenever he comes. Here is your card, please take it."
"Thank you." I took the access card and turned to leave.
I took the elevator to the 39th floor.
As soon as I came out, I felt that it was very quiet here, and I couldn't hear a sound.
It seems that Huo Yubai has moved the president's office downstairs.
His office was the only one on this floor.
I walked to the door and was just about to knock.
"Come in," Huo Yubai said in a deep, magnetic voice.
Did he know I was coming?
I looked up and saw the security camera at the door.
So that's where I saw it.
I pushed the door open and went in.
Huo Yubai sat at the large rosewood desk, his obsidian-like eyes deep and unfathomable: "You've come."
"The Mohists have started pressuring you. How do you plan to deal with it?" I asked directly.
He smiled faintly: "I didn't intend to respond; the Mohists can't force me."
"Don't forget, that's how Old Madam Mo rose to power!" I reminded her.
"She was able to rise to power only because the Mo family weighed the pros and cons. With her limited abilities, the Mo family could not possibly submit to her." Huo Yubai said indifferently, "At that time, the Mo family's maternal family was still quite powerful, which is why the Mo family agreed."
“But this time, Mo Lei has evidence. Just the fact that Mo Yue entered your room and hasn’t come out since makes it hard for you to explain.” I worried.
"The surveillance cameras are broken. The Mo family can say that Mo Yue didn't leave, and I can say that she left shortly after she went in. In short, the Mo family can't find any fault with me," Huo Yubai said confidently.
I hesitated for a moment: "Is it really not you?"
“Give me a reason.” He wasn’t angry because I doubted him.
"It's Mo Yue who's so clingy." I thought for a moment, "You're annoying."
“Shen Yan, I have countless ways to deal with her. There’s no need to make her disappear completely,” Huo Yubai said. “I can just have someone break one of her legs, and she’ll never dare to show her face again. Why should I take a life for myself?”
What he said is exactly what I was thinking.
It's just a woman; Huo Yubai doesn't need to make a big fuss about it.
“That means the Mohists hid her.” I paused. “We need to find a way to find her.”
"She's not with the Mo family." Huo Yubai's expression was cold. "She's truly missing."
"Really?" I asked doubtfully. "It wasn't the Mohists who were behind this?"
"After Mo Yue disappeared, I sent people to follow Mo Lei. I also have spies in the Mo family. Mo Yue has indeed disappeared," Huo Yubai said. "However, the Mo family is just going with the flow. They are waiting for me to take the initiative to come to them so that they can give me another woman. After all, there are many women of marriageable age in the Mo family. Even if they are children from collateral branches, it doesn't matter, as long as they have the surname Mo."
"It seems the Mohists really can't bear to part with such a big fish as you," I joked.
He smiled faintly: "Although you look down on me, I'm still very sought after by others."
I paused for a moment: "I have never looked down on you."
"There's no difference." He smiled casually. "If you think I'm perfect in every way, why reject me?"
I don't want to explain anymore.
At this moment, Huo Fei rushed in: "It's bad! Mo Lei has arrived downstairs at the company with his men, and he wants you to give him an explanation!"
A cold glint flashed in Huo Yubai's deep black eyes: "He came in person?"
Huo Fei nodded: "They're quite aggressive."
"It seems that Madam Mo is pressing hard." Huo Yubai stood up: "I'll go take a look. Shen Yan, you rest here."
“Why should I rest? I’m going too!” I said.
Huo Yubai smiled casually: "Okay, let's go together."
Murray came fully prepared.
He brought the media with him.
They were well-prepared, taking photos and doing a live stream.
Huo Yubai's expression was cold: "Mo Lei, are you trying to completely break ties with me?"
"Mo Yue is missing. You must give me an explanation." Mo Lei's expression was serious.
He didn't seem to be joking.
"You think Mo Yue's disappearance is related to me, just because she went to my room?" Huo Yubai asked sarcastically.
“Isn’t this enough?” Murray’s face was tense.
Huo Yubai sneered: "Mo Lei, you know that this reason cannot constitute evidence that I kidnapped Mo Yue."
“But she disappeared after she went to find you.” Murray clenched his fist.
I increasingly felt that something was wrong.
“Mo Lei, I said that day that Huo Yubai was in my room that night.” I was worried that Huo Yubai was really wronged and coerced by the Mo family, so he had to stand up and admit it.
Everyone was surprised.
It was so late, and they were alone together; it was hard not to let people's imaginations run wild.
Huo Yubai looked at me with eyes as dark as ink.
"Shen Yan, you have no evidence." Mo Lei said coldly, "Are you willing to sacrifice your own innocence to help Huo Yubai clear his name? Don't forget, this matter requires evidence, not just what you say!"
I raised my chin: "Your evidence is just a small fragment of the surveillance footage, while my evidence is solid proof that Huo Yubai and I were together."
"What did you say?" Murray was stunned.
“That day, Huo Yubai came to see me while I was having a video call with a laboratory overseas on my computer,” I said. “Because some data didn’t match, I asked them to recalculate it using a computer. However, the data was huge and would take all night, so I asked them not to turn off the video. That’s why Huo Yubai’s voice was recorded when he came to see me that night.”
"That's impossible!" Murray exclaimed in disbelief.
"I can tell you the name of the lab. Go check it yourself and see if they have a copy of the same video, and if it records my voice and Huo Yubai's voice in the same way." I said with a serious expression.
Huo Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Murray's expression was still somewhat hesitant.
I continued, "According to the hotel's restored surveillance footage, when Huo Yubai came to find me, Mo Yue was in his room, but almost a minute later, Huo Yubai came to find me. How could he have kidnapped and taken Mo Yue away in just one minute? He had a fever at the time, and everyone in the hotel knew about it."
It's indeed highly unlikely that the crime could be completed in just one minute.
"Huo Yubai asked me to take him in, and it wasn't until this morning that we found out Mo Yue was missing. I heard that you discovered Mo Yue was missing in the early hours of the morning, so you had the hotel sealed off and checked every corner of the hotel, even the parking lot, but you still couldn't find her. You even checked the people Huo Yubai brought, and none of them were missing, nor were any cars. So how could a sick person like him make Mo Yue disappear without anyone's help? Magic?" I asked, seemingly coldly.
