I have to say that Lu Chennan's focus is really different.

Although Qiao Shinian's concerns were different from what Lu Chennan understood, she did not refute them.

She is already here, and if she tries to say that she is not worried about Huo Yanci at all, Lu Chennan probably won't believe her.

"I'm worried that Huo Yanci will be implicated by my uncle's affairs," Qiao Shinian said truthfully, "Boss Huo will not miss this opportunity to suppress him."

Lu Chennan naturally knew a thing or two about Qiao Guosheng.

Given Huo Yuanze's style of doing things, this was indeed inevitable.

"You said the other day that your uncle's matter might be related to Uncle Huo. Did you verify it later?" Lu Chennan asked with concern.

There was no need to verify, Mr. Huo had no intention of hiding it from her at all.

This cannot be said to Lu Chennan, Qiao Shinian pulled the corner of his lip slightly, "Not yet."

"So, you agreed to come with me to find Brother Ci today because you wanted to tell him about this?" Lu Chennan asked, understandingly.

Qiao Shinian pulled the corner of his mouth again, "I guess so."

Afterwards, Qiao Shinian and Lu Chennan sat in the office for a while and did not wait for Huo Yanci to come back.

Following Lu Chennan's suggestion, Qiao Shinian called Huo Yanci, but just like Lu Chennan had experienced, she was unable to get through.

Then Qiao Shinian called Zhou Tiancheng's number again.

After a few rings, Zhou Tiancheng answered her call, "Mr. Qiao, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Listening to Zhou Tiancheng's businesslike tone, Qiao Shinian asked directly, "Assistant Zhou, was Huo Yanci injured last time? Is he still recovering in the hospital now?"

Zhou Tiancheng paused for a moment and replied, "Boss Qiao, Boss Huo did have some injuries on his back, but it's nothing serious at the moment."

So, Huo Yanci was really injured that day, but he didn't go to the hospital, and he said he was injured but just lied to her.

Qiao Shinian felt a little depressed for some reason, so she asked again, "Assistant Zhou, where is Huo Yanci?"

Zhou Tiancheng seemed to have known that Qiao Shinian would ask this, so he replied: "Mr. Huo is visiting a director of Huo's company and may not return to the group today."

The meaning of Zhou Tiancheng's words was very clear. He already knew that she and Lu Chennan were here.

"Please ask Huo Yanci to call me back when it's convenient."

Qiao Shinian ended the call after saying this.

Then he raised his phone and asked Lu Chennan, "Shall we go?"

Qiao Shinian pressed the speakerphone button when she was talking to Zhou Tiancheng just now, and Lu Chennan heard the entire conversation.

He said worriedly, "Brother Ci is visiting the director at this time. I guess he can't stand the pressure from Uncle Huo. I'm going back to discuss with my old man to see if he can help Brother Ci."

Qiao Shinian knew the crux of the matter, and she advised, "The reason why Huo Yanci didn't contact you is that he didn't want you to interfere in his affairs. So I think you should respect his wishes and wait for his news with peace of mind."

Lu Chennan thought about it and felt that what Qiao Shinian said made sense, "Shi Nian, you still understand Brother Ci!"

"Brother Ci has been in charge of the Huo company for quite some time. The foundation has already been laid firmly. There will be no problem with him!"

"..." Qiao Shinian.

Since they knew Huo Yanci would not come back, there was no point for Qiao Shinian and Lu Chennan to stay here and wait any longer, so they went downstairs together.

In the parking lot, when Lu Chennan locked the car and was about to ask Qiao Shinian to get in, a woman suddenly emerged from behind the car!

Qiao Shinian was startled and stepped back subconsciously. Lu Chennan protected Qiao Shinian, shouted "Who", and turned around to call the security guard.

"thump!"

Before he could say anything, he saw the woman kneel down in front of them!

"Master Lu, it's me, please, don't call anyone!"

"Secretary Hao?"

While Qiao Shinian was still in shock, Lu Chennan recognized the person.

Qiao Shinian looked at the woman called Secretary Hao.

She was about thirty years old and wore a black work suit of the Huo Group, but her face did not have the pride and superiority of other secretaries. Instead, it showed a bit of fear.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you hiding in the parking lot?" Lu Chennan asked with a frown and some displeasure.

Hearing Lu Chennan's words, Secretary Hao's body trembled slightly, and then began to kowtow to Lu Chennan, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I did something wrong, I'm here to ask for your forgiveness..."

There was a row of green plants behind where Lu Chennan's car was parked, and with the obstruction of the view from the cars next to it, it was difficult to notice that there was someone hiding here.

At this time, Secretary Hao was kneeling on the ground and kept apologizing to Lu Chennan. It was obvious that he knew of his arrival and recognized his car, so he intended to wait for him here.

"Don't do this, stand up and talk," Lu Chennan said.

"Master Lu, I don't dare to get up. Please let me finish my words on my knees."

Secretary Hao raised her head. Her face was covered with tears and her forehead was red from hitting the ground. Her eyes were filled with shock and fear, like a frightened bird.

Lu Chennan frowned and said, "There are people coming and going here, and someone could come over at any time. Do you want to attract attention?"

Secretary Hao shook his head, "I don't want to, I just want to apologize to Mr. Lu and ask for his forgiveness..."

"Since you want to apologize, find a quiet place and explain it clearly." Lu Chennan ordered.

Secretary Hao did not object anymore and nodded cautiously and fearfully.

Seeing this, Qiao Shinian said, "Lu Chennan, you are busy, I will take a car back by myself."

"no--"

"Miss Qiao, please come with me. I also want to seek your forgiveness..."

Before Lu Chennan could finish his objection, Secretary Hao spoke again with a trembling voice.

When Qiao Shinian heard this, he immediately guessed who Secretary Hao was, and also knew what she meant by understanding.

Lu Chennan also vaguely knew the reason why Secretary Hao apologized. He said to Qiao Shinian, "Shi Nian, let's go and listen to what she has to say."

"it is good."

The three of them got in the car together. Lu Chennan drove to the coffee shop closest to the Huo Group, found a quiet seat upstairs, and told the waiter not to disturb them.

As soon as they sat down in the private room, Secretary Hao knelt in front of them again.

"It's the same when we talk while sitting down." Lu Chennan said, "I'm not talking to people, I'm talking about the matter. You're not increasing the chances of me forgiving you by doing this."

Secretary Hao cried and shook her head, saying that she would finish her speech on her knees.

Lu Chennan no longer insisted, "If that's the case, then just tell me what you need my and Shi Nian's forgiveness for."

Secretary Hao said in a trembling voice, "I was confused for a moment, and Director Bai... or no, it was someone named Bai. She bribed me and asked me to report to her about you and Mr. Huo..."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian was not surprised, because Fan Suqin had told her before that Bai Yiyi had a spy next to Huo Yanci, who was a secretary.

So Bai Yiyi knew Huo Yanci's itinerary.

Lu Chennan's face turned cold, and he asked, "You are asking for forgiveness like this, what did you tell Bai Yiyi about us?"
