"Secretary Zhang …"
Huo Mingguang frowned. He was about to speak, but he saw that there were two people behind Zhang Yang.
Two people in uniform. Everyone present sat there motionlessly. They just looked at the two people and didn't understand why the police were here.
Huo Yifan stood there and watched the two people walk straight toward him. One of them flashed the ID in his hand in front of Huo Yifan.
"Hello, are you Mr. Huo Yifan?"
"I am." Huo Yifan stood there with a confused expression.
The police officer put away the ID. "You are suspected of being involved in a case of stealing trade secrets. Please come with us and assist in the investigation. "
Huo Yifan instinctively took a step back. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who stole trade secrets? "
"Please cooperate with us and assist in the investigation."
Huo Yifan stood there and subconsciously looked at Huo Mingliang. Huo Mingliang was also confused. He took two steps forward. "Police officer, is there a misunderstanding here? My son would never steal trade secrets. "
"So please come with us and assist in the investigation."
The police officer still sounded professional, but his actions were not polite at all. He took two steps forward and stood on both sides of Huo Yifan, wanting to take him away.
Huo Yifan looked at Huo Mingguang again. "Uncle, uncle, save me. I didn't. "
Huo Mingguang looked at the scene in front of him and subconsciously glanced at Huo Jinyao.
Zhang Yang was Huo Jinyao's man. It was Zhang Yang who brought him in. Did this have anything to do with Huo Jinyao?
Huo Yifan also saw Huo Jinyao's gaze. He suddenly pointed at Huo Jinyao.
"It's you, isn't it? It's you. You're the one who hurt me. Huo Jinyao, you're jealous. You can't bear to see me do well. "
Huo Jinyao touched the tip of his nose. Finally, he met Huo Yifan's eyes.
"Manager Huo, please think twice before you speak. I don't have the ability to let the police arrest you. If you think you're innocent, go with them. After all, the police will find out the truth of the matter and prove your innocence. Don't you think so? "
"Huo Jinyao, it's you, it's you."
Huo Yifan still wanted to curse, but he was already taken away by two police officers.
After he was taken away, Huo Mingguang and Huo Mingliang both looked at Huo Jinyao.
"Nephew, that's not very kind of you." Huo Mingliang looked at Huo Jinyao with silent criticism in his eyes.
"Uncle, I don't quite understand what you're saying. It was Yifan who committed the crime. What does it have to do with me? "
Huo Jinyao pushed the matter aside as if it had nothing to do with him. Huo Mingliang was furious. "Nephew Gu, don't you feel guilty saying this? The police were all brought here by your people. Are you trying to say that it has nothing to do with you? "
Hearing this, Huo Jinyao smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yan. Did you bring him here? "
"No." Zhang Yan waved a document in his hand as he spoke. "I was looking for President Huo, and I happened to see those two police officers coming upstairs. They said they were looking for Manager Huo Yifan. I happened to be on my way to the conference room. "
"Uncle, did you hear that? This matter has nothing to do with me. Come to think of it, I'm really curious. Yifan stole trade secrets. What kind of trade secrets did he steal? "
No one present had expected this. When they heard Huo Jinyao's words, they looked at each other.
Huo Mingguang's expression was very ugly. He sat there with a cold face and looked at Huo Jinyao. He didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Huo Jinyao acted as if he didn't see his father's expression. He just looked at Huo Mingliang and said, "Uncle, if I were you, I wouldn't stay here now. Instead, I would find a way to find out what trade secrets Yifan stole."
Huo Mingliang glared at Huo Jinyao. He wanted to lose his temper, but he knew that what he said was the truth.
After glaring at Huo Jinyao with hatred, he quickly left.
The meeting couldn't continue at this point. Huo Mingguang waved his hand, and the others in the conference room dispersed.
In the end, only Huo Jinyao and Huo Mingguang were left. Huo Mingguang stopped Huo Jinyao before he left.
"Jinyao."
Huo Jinyao stood there and looked at him with an unruly expression.
"You –" He said the word "you" and changed the topic. "Huo Yifan's matter was your doing."
He used an affirmative sentence. Huo Jinyao smiled. "Don't you have an answer? Why are you still asking? "
Huo Mingguang's expression was complicated. He looked at Huo Jinyao and didn't know what to say for a moment. "Jinyao, I know that your mother and I owe you a lot. You're indignant. If you're really that unhappy, you can come at us. But I hope you can take the overall situation into account. No matter what, Yifan is your younger brother and also a member of the Tianyu Group. Aren't you afraid that your actions will affect the company's reputation? "
"You're thinking too much. Huo Jinyao patiently listened to him finish his words. There was a hint of mockery in his voice. "First of all, I don't have any resentment towards you and mother. You can treat me however you like, as long as you're happy. Second, it's not me who will affect the company's reputation, it's Huo Yifan. Perhaps, you can ask him where that perfect plan came from and how it came about. When the time comes, you can discuss the company's reputation with me. "
After saying this, Huo Jinyao left. He completely ignored Huo Mingguang, who was behind him. He was left sitting there with a complicated expression on his face. There was a faint hint of guilt on his face.
… …
When Huo Yifan was taken away, he was quite confident. But soon, he realized that he couldn't be confident anymore.
A company in the United States called Kave Company filed a lawsuit against Huo Yifan through a lawyer, accusing him of stealing trade secrets.
And the so-called trade secret was the document that Su Peizhen had given him.
The other party repeatedly asked him to explain where the document came from. Huo Yifan could only tell the truth. It was given by Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen was in Lin City. After she lost so much face in Lin City, she didn't immediately return to Rong City.
Instead, he led a befuddled life in Lin City for two days. But soon, she was arrested.
The police brought her from Lin City to Rong City. The charges against her were the same: theft of trade secrets.
Su Peizhen hadn't recovered from that blow yet. She didn't expect to face such charges immediately.
Of course, she wouldn't admit it. She said that the document was given to her by Qi Xiwei. She didn't steal it at all.
But no one wanted to believe her. She was locked up. Not only was she locked up, but she was also interrogated with Huo Yifan.
She said that the proposal was given to her by Qi Xiwei, but Qi Xiwei refused to admit it. She said that such an important thing, how could she give it to someone so casually?
Especially since it was a confidential document from her original company.
Su Peizhen couldn't defend herself. She called a lawyer she knew and wanted him to bail her out.
But it was useless. The other party told her that her case was irrefutable and there was no way to turn the tables.
On the other side, Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan were locked up.
On the other side, Huo Mingliang was trying his best to get Huo Yifan out.
Huo Yifan went to prison, and the case was put on hold. This was also a loss for the company.
Huo Mingliang didn't know about the plan. He had always thought that Huo Yifan had done it himself.
Only now did he know that Huo Yifan hadn't done the plan himself. He had no choice but to beg Old Master Huo.
On the other side, the police had officially filed a complaint against Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen. If convicted, the two of them would face a limited sentence of more than three years and less than seven years.
Whether it was three years or seven years, Huo Mingliang couldn't afford it.
In desperation, he could only look for Old Master Huo to plead for mercy.
… …
Su Qingsang returned to the hospital to work. She was extremely busy every day. Naturally, she didn't know about these things about Tianyu Group.
She only knew that Huo Jinyao had been very busy recently and often returned home very late at night. Coincidentally, she was also on the night shift this week.
In Auntie Yu's words, the two of them hadn't eaten at home for a few days.
It wasn't easy for Su Qingsang to not be on duty that day and go home early. Only then did she realize that Huo Jinyao hadn't returned yet.
She was a little disappointed, but Su Qingsang knew Huo Jinyao's recent situation. Although he said that he had a way to deal with Huo Yifan, her grandfather would probably stop him when the time came.
If Huo Jinyao insisted on doing things his own way, he would inevitably make his grandfather unhappy again.
She couldn't help him with these things, so she could only not cause him trouble.
Huo Jinyao didn't come back until she was done packing and lying down in a daze.
The bed beside her suddenly sunk in made her blink. She hadn't turned off the bedside lamp before. Now that she saw Huo Jinyao, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You're back?"
"Yes." Huo Jinyao nodded and looked at Su Qingsang, who was still sleepy. At this time, she looked a little confused.
"Why are you so late? Do you have a lot of work to do? "
"Yes." Huo Jinyao nodded. Su Qingsang looked at him with a little heartache and patted his shoulder. "Alright, go take a shower and sleep early."
Huo Jinyao didn't object. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips again before retreating. Su Qingsang smiled and blinked her eyes. Just as she was about to go to sleep, she smelled an extremely faint scent that resembled perfume.
She couldn't help but sniff it hard again. The smell was gone.
She looked at Huo Jinyao and found that he had also turned his face to look at her.
"Qingsang." His expression was a little serious.
"What's wrong?"
"If Auntie comes to see you and asks for something, you can ask her to come to me. Don't agree to any of her requests. "
Huo Jinyao was naturally referring to Caiping. Su Qingsang was completely awake because of his words.
"Auntie came to see me? Why did she come to see me? What happened? Did Su Peizhen return to Rong City? Isn't she still in Lin City? "
She had been back for about a week. During this week, she had already stopped thinking about what Su Peizhen had done.
Her reputation was ruined anyway. She thought that Su Peizhen wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. Could it be that she was still thinking of harming people?
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. Su Peizhen is in prison now. "
Under Su Qingsang's shocked expression, Huo Jinyao briefly told her what Su Peizhen had done.
"Don't worry, this time I will definitely ask them to sentence her to the high court. They will not let her out unless she is locked up for seven years."
Su Qingsang didn't say anything. Su Peizhen deserved to end up like this today. However, she couldn't help but sympathize with Xiang Caiping.
"Auntie will probably come to me to plead for her, right?"
"Yes, Auntie will probably come to you to plead for her. So I hope that no matter what Auntie says, you don't care. Just ask her to come to me. "
"I got it."
Su Qingsang responded in a very low voice. Her expression didn't look too good.
She couldn't help Su Peizhen's matter, and she didn't want to help. She had repeatedly gone against her and even tried to harm her. If she still spoke up for Su Peizhen, she would be too much of a saint.
However, in the end, she still sympathized with Xiang Caiping. With a daughter like that, Xiang Caiping would probably feel a headache and pain, right?
Because of this matter, Su Qingsang suddenly forgot that she had smelled a faint perfume just now.
… …
In the study, the atmosphere was a little tense.
"Impossible." Huo Jinyao threw out these three words after hearing Old Master Huo's request.
Old Master Huo didn't expect Huo Jinyao to refuse so directly, not even giving him any face.
"Jinyao, can't you let your brother go?"
"I'm sorry, I can't."
Everything else could be discussed, but this was the only thing that Huo Jinyao would never compromise on.
"Jinyao." Old Master Huo was a little annoyed by his attitude. "What do you think? As long as you can find a way to get Kave's people to withdraw the charges, I'll make the decision and send Huo Yifan and the others abroad. I promise I won't let them come back again. How about that? "
"No." Huo Jinyao smiled and shook his head. He didn't accept Old Master Huo's words at all. "No, you can't send them abroad. Why would they go abroad? Continue to enjoy life? Grandpa, that's not what I want. "
"You, I promise you, I won't give them any help. They need to support themselves abroad. By their own strength. "
"Grandpa, if you've decided. What's the difference in letting them stay in prison and reflect on their own mistakes? "
Old Master Huo's lips moved. He wanted to defend Huo Yifan, but Huo Jinyao didn't want to stay any longer.
He stood up and looked at Old Master Huo. His expression was respectful, but he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
Old Master Huo's face was a little pale. He couldn't bear to think of Huo Mingliang, who had come to beg him and cried.
"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. By the way, speaking of which, you've completely let my father handle the company's matters. Since that's the case, you don't have to worry about it anymore. What do you think? "
Old Master Huo's expression was no longer just ugly. Huo Jinyao was clearly telling him not to worry about the company's matters anymore.
"You, you –"
Old Master Huo clutched his chest angrily. He pointed at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao bowed. "Grandpa, it's better to take care of your health. Huo Yifan has always said that he's very filial. If he's really filial, he won't do these things that hurt the company's reputation again and again. So this time, Grandpa, it's better if you don't interfere. "
