Chapter Eighty-Five: Layers of Surveillance
Lin Yuxue felt as if her strength had suddenly been drained, and she stumbled back on her feet, and Mother Wu hurriedly supported her.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that Lin Yuxue's complexion suddenly became extremely bad, Wu's mother looked at her worriedly, slowly helped her to sit down on the sofa, and poured her a glass of water.
Lin Yuxue took a sip with trembling hands, her eyes staring at a place on the carpet in front of her, but her eyes were unfocused.
Mother Wu didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Lin Yuxue suddenly seem to have lost her soul, she asked tentatively, "Young lady, do you want to call Huo Shao?" ”
Hearing the words "Huo Shao", Lin Yuxue's eyes suddenly became sharp, she stood up suddenly, put down the water glass and walked upstairs. Mother Wu also stood up, looking at Lin Yuxue's back, she couldn't help but be a little worried.
Back in the room, Lin Yuxue immediately took out her mobile phone and called Huo Chiguan, but several of them were busy and couldn't be connected. Huo Chiguan didn't let her leave the villa, transferred Sister Li away, and refused to answer her call, all the cognition made Lin Yuxue feel angry and bloody, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.
After calming down a little, Lin Yuxue suddenly thought of something, and immediately found Lu Tezhu's phone number and dialed it.
This time, the call finally came through.
"Young lady." Lu Tezhu's voice couldn't hear the slightest abnormality, if it weren't for Fang Cai's mother Wu saying that Lu Tezhu and Sister Li said that she asked Sister Li to go to Mei's house, Lin Yuxue almost thought that she was wrong.
Listening to Lu Tezhu's tone as if nothing happened, Lin Yuxue sneered: "Lu Tezhu, are you two too feudal?" What age is it still playing house arrest! ”
Lu Tezhu on the other end of the phone heard Lin Yuxue's angry voice in the speaker, and subconsciously glanced at Huo Chiguan beside him.
Huo Chiguan's face was expressionless, but the waves in his eyes exposed his heart like a stormy sea at this time.
"Young lady, did you misunderstand something?" Lu Tezhu felt a cold sweat slip across his back.
"What did I misunderstand? If you don't let me go out now, isn't it called house arrest? It's against the law! Lin Yuxue was so angry that she kept walking around the room, and it was only at this moment that she finally remembered that before she met Huo Chiguan, his ruthless personality was recognized.
Lu Tezhu couldn't help but reach out and wipe the beads of sweat that had already appeared on his forehead, and observed Huo Chiguan's expression before saying, "Young lady, this is not house arrest, you just need to calm down, and you will soon understand Huo Shao's good intentions." Lu Tezhu understood all of Huo Chiguan's plans, although he didn't agree, he had to admit that this was indeed the easiest way to keep Lin Yuxue from leaving the Huo family.
Although, it is indeed a bit rough.
Lin Yuxue stood in front of the window, and through the window she saw five or six men standing in the same dress as Xiao Zhang in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sneer again: "Calm down? Have you ever seen the calmness of being watched layer by layer? ”
Lu Tezhu was dumbfounded by the question, and was silent for an instant.
Lin Yuxue is right, in addition to the servants, there are a total of eight bodyguards in the villa, and it is indeed as she said, it is already under surveillance.
"I didn't expect that Huo Chiguan would treat me like this in the end, I'm really disappointed." Maybe she was overly angry, or maybe she was discouraged by the number of bodyguards, Lin Yuxue's voice suddenly calmed down, and then hung up the phone.
Listening to the sound of the phone being hung up coming from the speaker, Lu Tezhu looked towards Huo Chiguan, who looked down at his phone.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
A minute passed, and Huo Chiguan's mobile phone didn't remember.
She was really disappointed and didn't even want to make another phone call to accuse him.
Huo Chiguan stood up, paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, and quietly looked out the window, taking in the scene of the financial center being brightly lit at night.
After a while, he said to Lu Te: "Contact Lawyer Zhang and cooperate with the follow-up of Zhang Tao's case." ”
Rutte answered and left the office.
Huo Chiguan stood in front of the window for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
He knew that this move had hurt Lin Yuxue, but he had no choice.
Lin Yuxue called Yi Yang back, only saying that she couldn't leave temporarily, and didn't say much. After that, she locked herself in her room, covered her head and cried, and fell into a groggy sleep.
In her sleep, she saw her mother and grandmother, and the happiness of her relatives surrounded her, making her even more drowsy, and she couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or reality when she was half asleep and half awake.
Mother Wu also sensed that something was wrong at home, and after a little thought, she knew what the role of these extra bodyguards was, although she couldn't understand Huo Chiguan's approach, but she didn't have a position to say that Huo Chiguan's was not. Out of concern for Lin Yuxue, Wu's mother knocked on her door several times to relieve her, but she didn't get a response.
When it was close to noon the next day, Wu's mother knocked on the door of the second bedroom again, but still did not get a response from Lin Yuxue, but heard some murmuring in the door.
Wu's mother was worried, and immediately called Huo Chiguan, but Huo Chiguan didn't answer for the first time.
After a few hesitations, Wu's mother decided to use the spare key to open the door.
Lin Yuxue was still half-asleep and half-awake, feeling that she was very uncomfortable and weak. Seeing that her lips were pale and her little face was a little red, Mother Wu reached out to her forehead to probe it.
This probe touched Lin Yuxue's hot forehead.
"Young lady, you have a fever!" Wu's mother hurriedly brought the medicine box, and while measuring Lin Yuxue's temperature, she called Huo Chiguan again, but this time there was still no answer.
Lin Yuxue responded to Wu's mother in a daze, feeling that she was lightheaded, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could barely lift them.
Seeing that Lin Yuxue had burned to 39 degrees, Wu's mother, who was so anxious, immediately contacted her family doctor, and secretly wondered why Huo Chiguan didn't answer the phone one after another.
At this time, Huo Chiguan was in Zhang Wen's office, and his mobile phone was turned to silent and buckled on the desktop at some point.
After listening to Zhang Wen finish talking about the details of the case, Huo Chiguan's frowning brows never let go: "In this case, will Lin Wei and Fang Qiaoan's sentences be higher than Zhang Tao's?" ”
Zhang Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Yuxue and I are not clear about Zhang Tao's motives for doing this, and the information of the police interrogation has not yet reached me, so I can't accurately judge Zhang Tao's sentencing." ”
Huo Chiguan nodded, his eyes were full of dark clouds.
In the conversation with Zhang Wen, he learned that Fang Qiaoan didn't know when she received the news and tried to leave City A, if it wasn't for the speed of the police, she would have fled abroad with the help of the nouveau riche backer at this time.
But after knowing that Fang Qiaoan was involved in the murder case, this real estate developer surnamed Wu abandoned her. Anyway, it's just a mistress, and there is no need for anyone to risk getting involved in a criminal case.
And Lin Wei is now just a flat-headed little common man, the trees are scattered, and no one is willing to protect him at all. He couldn't even afford to pay the lawyer's fees, and even the lawyer he represented was sent by the legal aid center in accordance with regulations.
"I see, Lawyer Zhang, we are in touch at any time." Huo Chiguan stood up, buttoned up his suit, and stretched out his right hand towards Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen nodded, also stretched out his hand to shake him, and watched him walk out of the office, only then did his eyes reveal a deep doubt.
He didn't know how deep the bond between Zhang Tao and Huo Chiguan was, but Lin Yuxue had also mentioned some things that Zhang Tao and Huo Chiguan were familiar with, so when Huo Chiguan contacted him last night, he was already prepared, and Huo Chiguan might ask about Zhang Tao's case from the side.
But today, Huo Chiguan talked with him for three hours, but he didn't show any intention of wanting to protect Zhang Tao, which surprised Zhang Wen.
Could it be that between Zhang Tao and Lin Yuxue, Huo Chiguan still chose Lin Yuxue? If so, he should be happy for Lin Yuxue.
Thinking of the divorce agreement he drafted for Lin Yuxue, Zhang Wen's eyes deepened, staring at the direction Huo Chiguan left, thoughtful.
Walking out of Zhang Wen's office, Huo Chiguan noticed that there were two missed calls from home, and suddenly felt bad for a while, and called the phone back.
At the same time, in the villa in Huochiguan, the family doctor had just hung a drip for Lin Yuxue.
Hearing that the phone rang, Wu's mother walked over quickly to pick it up.
"Mother Wu, what's the matter?" Huo Chiguan's tone was a little careless, but the other hand hanging by his side slowly clenched, revealing his inner turmoil at the moment.
"Huo Shao, the young lady has been in the room last night and didn't come out, and I opened the door with a spare key at noon today, only to know that the young lady has a fever."
Huo Chiguan's footsteps suddenly stopped: "Fever? ”
Mother Wu responded: "Yes, the fever has reached 39 degrees, Dr. Wang has just come, and the young lady should have a fever soon." As he spoke, the family doctor happened to come out of the room, and Wu's mother hurriedly handed him the phone and asked him to report the situation to Huo Chiguan.
After learning that Lin Yuxue might have been sick and feverish due to cold and overfatigue, and there was nothing else serious, Huo Chiguan's heart was slightly relaxed, but it soon tightened again.
Was it because of his actions that she was so disappointed that she fell ill directly? Wu's mother said that she didn't go out of the room last night, did she keep crying?
Huo Chiguan's hand holding the phone slowly lowered, his vision began to become a little hazy from a piece of clarity, and he began to wonder if his decision was too hasty.
This is the first time in the past few years since he took over the Huo Group that he regrets his decision.
If Zhang Tao hadn't had bad thoughts because his wife was in urgent need of money for treatment, if Yan Cheng hadn't found the key evidence of Zhang Tao's involvement, if he hadn't been so difficult to part with Zhang Tao and Lin Yuxue... If there is a if in this world, then presumably Huo Chiguan will be the one who needs it the most.
It's a pity that now that I've come to this point, I can only go on hard anyway.
