To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Setting Up the Trap

Tianyu Group, President Huo’s office.

Su Qingsang had gone back to work. Huo Jinyao was no longer worried that something bad might happen to her.

The problem was solved almost perfectly, and the truth had been revealed to many people through the live broadcast. So for a while, no one would attempt to cause Su Qingsang any trouble again.

Of course, Huo Jinyao didn’t forget to make some further arrangements, even though he was sure that no one would be stupid enough to do anything to hurt Su Qingsang.

Yang Wenchang told him that Wen Fei had booked the flight tickets for tomorrow night. He arranged a doctor and a nurse to travel with her. With their help, her son would fly to the United States safely.

“You handled it well this time.”

Huo Jinyao showed his appreciation to Yang Wenchang, for doing a good job in finding Wen Fei. It had been such a smart move.

The trouble which had been started by Lin Gang couldn’t have been solved so quickly without Wen Fei’s help.

Yang Wenchang did the right thing by providing Wen Fei with the help she needed after the problem was solved. Wen Fei had helped him and Huo Jinyao after all. Even though she was paid to do all that, what she did could still be counted as a big favor.

Yang Wenchang did more than sending a doctor and a nurse to travel with her.

The doctor that Wen Fei had initially found wasn’t the best one. With Huo Jinyao’s permission, Yang Wenchang found her a better doctor, who was more experienced than the previous one. He had a higher success rate for the surgeries in general.

That was only a small matter for Huo Jinyao. He only needed to make a few phone calls to make that kind of arrangement.

“Anyhow, you’ve done a great job. There’s been a lot of work to do recently. When all this work is done, I’ll give you time for a good vacation.” Huo Jinyao couldn’t think of a better way to reward him.

Yang Wenchang was some times even busier than Huo Jinyao himself. Whenever Huo Jinyao was working, Yang Wenchang had to work also. Even during the times where Huo Jinyao was resting, Yang Wenchang still did a lot of work.

“It’s my job to share my boss’s burden,” Yang Wenchang said with a smile. “But President Huo, I’d be happier if I can have some extra time for a longer vacation.”

“Alright,” Huo Jinyao said, without hesitating. “Train Yu and the other few. When they’re good enough to replace you, you’ll be able to take as much time off as you want.”

“Oh, I don’t think I want that vacation anymore.”

Yang Wenchang was just joking. He had been working for Huo Jinyao since he graduated from college.

After working together for years, the two of them became very good friends. Huo Jinyao never took his jokes to heart.

The two of them bantered about a few other things. Now, it was time to talk about something serious. Yang Wenchang reported to Huo Jinyao about Qiao Hong’s most recent activities. He had Qiao Hong under his watch all the time, but still, nothing was found. No clues, no results.

Before he asked Huo Jinyao if he needed to keep watching Qiao Hong’s activities, Ding Qing knocked on the door and came in. She brought something for Huo Jinyao.

She was holding a confidential document from the planning department. The one who had prepared the document didn’t dare to come up to see Huo Jinyao himself, because the document was supposed to be delivered three days ago. Therefore, he asked Ding Qing to bring it to Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao took over the file and browsed it.

“The people from the planning department are smart, aren’t they? They know that I wouldn’t like this plan, so they asked you to bring it to me.”

He threw the document on the desk, then raised his head. He looked at Ding Qing and said, “Miss. Ding, I admit that you are capable, and I admire you for being ambitious. But, I don’t think this kind of favor is something that you should be doing.”

“They’re all my colleagues,” said Ding Qing, smiling a warm smile. Knowing that that plan didn’t pass, she picked up the document and said, “I intend to help people whenever I can. I assume you don’t mind, President Huo. Do you?”

Huo Jinyao didn’t answer the question but turned to Yang Wenchang and said, “I agree with what you said earlier. Stop watching Qiao Hong.”

“President Huo?”

“We’ve been watching him for over a week. If he’s been doing something behind our back, we should have found out about it already. It’ll be a waste of time and energy to keep watching him.”

“I get it,” Yang Wenchang said. Huo Jinyao glanced at Ding Qing and asked, “do you have something else to say to me?”

“No.”

Holding the document, Ding Qing headed outside. The moment she opened the door, she heard Huo Jinyao say, “I have something else for you to do. It’s much more important than Qiao Hong.”

Ding Qing raised her eyebrows slightly. She was tempted to stay and hear what Huo Jinyao would say next but was worried that she might displease Huo Jinyao by doing that.

What was more important than Qiao Hong?

After Ding Qing left, Huo Jinyao glanced at Yang Wenchang and signaled for him to check if the door was closed.

Yang Wenchang didn’t understand why. After confirming that the door was indeed closed, he came back and stood before Huo Jinyao’s desk.

“President Huo, what do you want me to do?”

Huo Jinyao looked at him, put on a serious look, and said, “continue keeping Qiao Hong under your watch. Send more people to watch him, and don’t miss any details. Bug his phone if you can. I believe that there will be some information resurfacing soon.”

“What?”

Yang Wenchang failed to understand what Huo Jinyao was saying, for a moment. That wasn’t what Huo Jinyao had said a minute ago.

Yang Wenchang was a smart person, though. Ding Qing was had been in the office just now. So, did Huo Jinyao say that on purpose?

“President Huo, are you suspecting Ding Qing?”

Yang Wenchang looked quite shocked. Unlike him, Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes while gently and unwittingly knocking on the desk with his fingers.

Huo Jinyao didn’t answer the question. “Do what I said. Also, dig Ding Qing’s background for more details. Find out who she’s been having contact with if you can.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Yang Wenchang hadn’t noticed anything suspicious about Ding Qing in the past few days, but since Huo Jinyao had given him an instruction like that, he figured that something must be wrong with that woman.

After Yang Wenchang left, Huo Jinyao started reading the files that Ding Qing had brought to him earlier.

Ding Qing was indeed a capable person. However, he did not want an employee who was not loyal to him to work in the company, no matter how capable she was.

He would soon find out who she was dealing with.

…

Su Qingsang was in a good mood. Her problem was solved. Su Yuxin and Shi Mengwan both called to ask her how she had been doing.

The problem was huge but was solved quickly. After learning that it was Huo Jinyao who had dealt with the matter, Su Yuxin had nothing to complain about.

After the crisis was over, the hospital leaders had come to the gynecology and obstetrics department to visit Su Qingsang and comfort her.

Su Qingsang was praised during a joint meeting in the hospital, for being generous and as warm as ever to the patients and her family.

Su Qingsang knew that the hospital leaders were simply trying to smooth things out. She was only a young doctor who had started working in that hospital not too long ago. She didn’t deserve to be praised like that.

She didn’t care much about that, though. She only focused on her work, on the patients, and the operations that she needed to perform. She was busy every day.

Huo Jinyao was very busy too. She found him even busier than before.

A few days later, Li Hong almost healed completely. She was to be discharged by the hospital in a few days.

The problem was that Lin Gang never showed up again. No one was there to pay for Li Hong’s hospital bill, so she had no choice but to stay in the hospital.

She was constantly calling her husband all the time. She even called her neighbors and asked them to talk to Lin Gang for her.

Lin Gang finally showed up in the end. He paid the hospital bill and left Li Hong fifty thousand yuan, then told her that he wanted a divorce. After that, he left.

Li Hong burst into tears and screams. She dragged Lin Gang’s arm, refusing to let him go. She refused to believe that Lin Gang would be heartless enough to abandon her and her daughter.

“Lin Gang, you’ll suffer! You were the one who told me to scam those drivers! It was your idea to frame Doctor Su! How dare you abandon me! You are an animal!”

Li Hong made a huge scene in the hospital. It never occurred to her that there could be another reason for Lin Gang abandoning her.

Wen Fei was a smart person. She was afraid that Lin Gang might keep bothering her, so she had been very nice to him in a recent couple of days. Before leaving, she had told him that she needed to go abroad on a business trip.

Lin Gang was still dreaming about his imaginary life with Wen Fei. He didn’t think much about that and only asked Wen Fei about how long she’d be gone. Hearing her say about a week, his eyes were filled with frustration.

Wen Fei was worried that he might not buy her words, so in the end, she gave him the key card of the presidential suite and told him that he could stay there at night if he wanted to.

For Lin Gang, that was equivalent to winning the lottery.

He lived in a luxurious suite in a five-star hotel, eating expensive food served by the hotel every day. He got so carried away. How would he ever have the time to care about Li Hong?

The money that the driver had given Li Hong had all been spent. He still had about a hundred thousand though, which was given to him by the person who had asked him to frame Su Qingsang.

He didn’t want to give Li Hong any of that money, but thinking that he was about to own a hotel, he decided to be generous. He gave Li Hong fifty- thousand as compensation for divorce.

Li Hong wasn’t fully recovered from her cesarean yet, even though her wound had been healed.

She hadn’t been taken good care of. On the contrary, she had to even suffer physical abuse from her husband. And now, her husband wanted to divorce her. How was she ever going to handle that?

She refused to leave the hospital. She screamed and cried in the hospital, refusing to go.

At last, the hospital called security and the police, finally managing to make her leave. She left the hospital alone, taking the fifty-thousand and holding her new-born daughter.

Su Qingsang hadn’t been paying much attention to Li Hong. Because of the problem that Lin Gang had started, she was now a famous doctor in Rong City.

Many patients wanted her to be their doctor. The hospital had to break their rules and gave her the title of a specialist.

She had many more patients than before, and for that reason, she was getting busier and busier.

She couldn’t feel any sympathy for Li Hong. Lin Gang had been wrong to ask her to fake car accidents, but Li Hong herself hadn’t done the right thing either. She knew it was wrong and dangerous, but still did it.

Li Hong had problems too, but she brought all the bitterness upon herself. She had no one to blame but herself.

…

Through a long wait, Yang Wenchang finally found out what Huo Jinyao wanted.

“President Huo, Lin Gang was kicked out of the hotel today.”

Yang Wenchang brought Huo Jinyao the sequel of Lin Gang’s story.

“He should consider himself lucky.”

He had lived in the hotel for a few days, free of charge. He would have enjoyed the experience.

Yang Wenchang talked about Lin Gang with contempt in his voice. In his eyes, people like Lin Gang didn’t deserve that kind of treatment.

“You don’t understand, do you?” Huo Jinyao smiled. “It’s really cruel for him.”

According to Huo Jinyao, a man wouldn’t long for something that he never had. However, losing something he had and loved would be so much more painful than not having it in the first place.

A few days ago, Wen Fei had told Lin Gang that she needed to go on a business trip and let him live in the luxurious suite. He believed her and divorced Li Hong.

Since he had already gotten a divorce with Li Hong, the story should have come to an end.

However, Li Hong wasn’t very kind either. As Lin Gang had asked to get a divorce with her, she threatened Li Gang to give her all the money he had and the apartment he owned, or else she wouldn’t sign the divorce paper.

She said that she needed money for the baby. After all, she would have to raise the baby all alone now.

Since Lin Gang still believed that he would be married to a rich woman, he pondered upon Li Hong’s request and at last, he gave her the money and the apartment.

Soon after that, the staff working in the hotel received a message.

When Lin Gang returned to the hotel, the hotel staff asked him if he wanted to extend his stay.

Lin Gang was stunned. He refused to believe what he heard and made a scene in the hotel.

He said to them that the hotel was owned by Wen Fei and that Wen Fei was a friend of his. So, why on earth did he need to pay for his stay?

The hotel staff asked him who Wen Fei was.

Someone else booked the suite for him, and that person’s name was not Wen Fei. Wen Fei did not own the hotel.

“Why did you call Wen Fei ‘Boss’ that day?”

“We call all the mangers in the hotel and the person who owns this place ‘Boss’.”

Lin Gang didn’t accept that explanation. He made a serious scene, and the police had to come at last.

In the end, he learned that he was fooled. Similar to what Li Hong had done in the hospital, he burst into curses. In the end, he was taken away by the police.

He almost lost his mind at the moment. He searched everywhere for Wen Fei.

Huo Jinyao honestly found Lin Gang’s situation hilarious.

“Well done,” he said to Yang Wenchang. “We gave the man a chance to experience the luxurious life he had always dreamed of. Think of that as a good deed.”

Yang Wenchang nodded. He got what Huo Jinyao meant. Lin Gang still refused to believe that he had been fooled. Wen Fei was his high school classmate and crush after all.

He even accused the hotel staff of murdering Wen Fei and looting her property, because she was a weak single woman. That was hilarious.

“Let’s stop talking about Lin Gang. He’s not gonna do anything to affect us anyway.”

Yang Wenchang came in with another big news today.

“President Huo, you asked me to keep an eye on Ding Qing earlier. I’ve found something.”

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes. Yang Wenchang took some files out of his bag and put them on the desk before Huo Jinyao.

“Last night, our people who’ve been tailing Ding Qing ran into the ones who have been watching Qiao Hong.”

Huo Jinyao landed his eyes on a picture. In the picture, Ding Qing and Qiao Hong were seated together in a bar.

The crowded bar had made it convenient to meet up and had also provided Yang Wenchang’s people with the convenience to take the pictures.

“She’s been alert. She heard what you said that day, but didn’t meet with Qiao Hong immediately. She met with him three days after that.”

Huo Jinyao stayed silent, looking at those pictures. During the meeting, they both took out their phones at once.

Yang Wenchang had seen those pictures too. Then, he said, “we’ve also checked and found ten million in Qiao Hong’s account.”

“Ten million?” Huo Jinyao gave a smile. “What a smart price.”

It was much more than the two million that Qiao Hong had gotten from Huo Jinyao, but comparing it with the value of the data itself, ten million was nothing.

“Who is Ding Qing is working for? Have you found that out?”

“Not yet. We didn’t find any clue from her phone records. She’s been contacting that person through other ways.”

A sharp light flashed across Huo Jinyao’s eyes. “Miss. Ding’s phone is new, isn’t it? If she accidentally dropped her phone and broke it, or if her phone fell into the water, do you think she’ll need to get a new one?”

“I get it,” Yang Wenchang said.

“Do it. Make it quick. I now am really curious about who Ding Qing works for.”
