Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo
Chapter 268 Mr. Zhao was dismissed
President Zhao of West City Group has lost his swagger these days. Due to the plummeting stock price of West City Group and rumors of an affair with his secretary, President Zhao's image has plummeted, and the board of directors has removed him.
President Zhao fell from grace, his heart filled with resentment. He directed all his anger at the Huo Group, believing that Huo Chenjun and his subordinates had ruined everything for him.
Huo Chenjun sat by the French window in his study, a glass of whiskey in his hand, his eyes grim. His wife, Tang Xiaqing, gently opened the door, walked over to him, and asked softly, "Have you been worried lately?"
Huo Chenjun turned around and looked at Tang Xiaqing. She was wearing a lavender cashmere sweater, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were full of tenderness. He smiled slightly and held her hand: "Don't worry."
Tang Xiaqing nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes: "I heard that Mr. Zhao was removed from the board of directors. Will he..."
Huo Chenjun interrupted her and said firmly, "Don't worry, I have arranged bodyguards. Starting tomorrow, someone will follow you whenever you go out. He won't have the chance to hurt you."
Tang Xiaqing sighed softly and leaned on his shoulder: "I'm just worried about you."
Huo Chenjun put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Mr. Zhao did not give up. He began to secretly investigate Huo Chenjun's whereabouts and even appeared downstairs of Tang Xiaqing's company several times.
President Huo also convened a meeting of the company's top management, urging everyone to pay attention to the safety of themselves and their families, and arranged for personnel to strengthen security. He also spoke with Bo Lizhan alone, asking him to think clearly about his own affairs and fulfill the responsibilities that a man should bear.
On Wednesday night, after getting home from get off work, Su Xianyun felt depressed when she thought about Bo Lizhan's refusal to marry her, so she went to the bar for a drink. After a few drinks, she was drunk when Mr. Zhao, who was sitting across from her, saw her.
Mr. Zhao ordered his men to forcibly drag her into the car.
Her cell phone was confiscated and she was unable to contact the outside world. She could only watch herself being taken to a strange place.
The next day, Mr. Huo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, his back to the door, his hands in his trouser pockets. His dark gray custom-made suit made him look straight.
Outside the window was the bustling city skyline. The sunlight shone through the glass onto his shoulders, but it failed to dispel the gloom between his brows.
"Vice President Bo, come in." President Huo's voice was low and cold.
Bo Lizhan pushed open the door, his steps hesitant. He was wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt and a slightly loosened tie, clearly not feeling well today. His face was pale, his eyes flickering, as if he was troubled.
"Mr. Huo, are you looking for me?" Vice President Bo stood at the door, his voice a little hoarse.
President Huo turned around, his gaze like a knife piercing Bo Lizhan. "My secretary, Su Xianyun, didn't come to work today and didn't answer the phone. Did you have another argument with her recently?"
Bo Lizhan's Adam's apple moved. "Boss Huo, Su Xianyun and I do have some conflicts... What's wrong?"
"Conflict?" Mr. Huo sneered and stepped closer, his leather shoes making a crisp sound on the floor. "What conflict? Is it because she's pregnant and you don't want to take responsibility? I talked to you about it last time, and what happened next? She sent me a message in the middle of the night a few days ago, and my wife almost misunderstood me!"
Bo Lizhan lowered his head, his voice trembling. "Boss Huo, I... this is too complicated to explain. I will handle the relationship issues between Su Xianyun and me. Is that what you're talking about?"
"Yes. But I can't contact her now. She's never late and never asks for leave. I suspect she's missing."
"Huh?" Bo Lizhan quickly called Su Xianyun's cell phone, but no one answered. Vice President Bo then called Su Xianyun's roommate, who said Su Xianyun was in a bad mood last night and had planned to go to a bar alone for a drink, but she didn't come back.
Bo Lizhan felt panicked.
Mr. Huo narrowed his eyes and stared at Bo Lizhan for a few seconds. Suddenly, he turned and walked to his desk, picking up his phone. "Since you said that, let me ask you, has Mr. Zhao contacted you recently?"
Bo Lizhan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Mr. Zhao? No, he hasn't contacted me recently, but he did call me once before, hoping that our group would let him go."
Bo Lizhan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Boss Huo, are you saying...Boss Zhao kidnapped Su Xianyun?"
Mr. Huo didn't answer directly. Instead, he walked to the window, his back to Bo Lizhan, and spoke in a low, cold voice. "We both know Mr. Zhao's methods. Miss Su is missing and isn't answering her calls. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"
Bo Lizhan's breathing became rapid, and the veins in his forehead throbbed faintly. "Boss Huo, if it was really Boss Zhao who did this, I will never let him go!"
President Huo turned around, his eyes piercing. "What's the point of saying this now? Miss Su is your girlfriend, and you failed to protect her. Now that she's in trouble, you're worried? Miss Su is my secretary, and I have responsibilities too. Let's work together to find a solution."
Vice President Bo lowered his head, his voice filled with regret and pain. "Boss Huo, I know I was wrong. But the most important thing now is to find Su Xianyun. I can't let anything happen to her."
Mr. Huo was silent for a moment, then walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "Xiao Li, immediately check Mr. Zhao's recent whereabouts, especially his contact records with Ms. Su."
After hanging up the phone, President Huo looked at Vice President Bo and softened his tone. "Go to Miss Su's residence right now, or contact her friends to see if there are any leads. If necessary, I'll send someone to assist you."
Bo Lizhan nodded, turned around, and quickly left the office. His back seemed a bit hurried, and the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.
