"Let them co find then!" Hao Jian sneered and tossed He Rongsheng aside like a dead dog.
At this mont, He Rongsheng's hands had been twisted and broken by Hao Jian, his whole being was in extre misery, and the pain had already made him pass out.
"You... I already agreed to stand up for you, why... did you still resort to violence?" Guo Shuxian rebuked, sowhat angrily. Hao Jian crippling He Rongsheng ant that He Corporation would definitely not let this go, and sooner or later, Hao Jian would be in trouble.
This whole affair, after all, started because of her, which filled Guo Shuxian with deep remorse!
"Even if Old Master He would give an explanation, would he cripple He Rongsheng?" Hao Jian asked with a sneer.
"This..." Guo Shuxian hesitated. He Rongsheng was Old Master He's biological son, how could he possibly cripple him?
"What I wanted was to cripple him. Since he couldn't do it, then I had to do it myself," Hao Jian said arrogantly.
"You... Sigh!" Guo Shuxian didn't know what to say to Hao Jian anymore; she hadn't expected the joking, scoundrel-like Hao Jian to have such a ruthless side.
Given her status, she was actually very much against such violent actions by Hao Jian, although it was He Rongsheng who initially caused the trouble, Hao Jian's actions were unwarranted.
"I'm leaving. Do you want a ride?" Hao Jian asked.
"No need," Guo Shuxian replied curtly, seemingly still angry at how Hao Jian had battered He Rongsheng.
Hao Jian did not insist and shrugged his shoulders as he headed outside.
"Bastard." As she watched Hao Jian's departing figure, Guo Shuxian muttered under her breath. He sure was quick to leave, dumping a big ss on her to handle.
She looked at He Rongsheng lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, feeling utterly overwheld. How could this situation be properly resolved?
"Auntie, what happened here? Where is Hao Jian?" Just then, Zhang Qiuya rushed back after finishing her tasks and, seeing He Rongsheng and the others on the ground, she couldn't help but look shocked.
"It's a long story," Guo Shuxian said with a bitter smile and then asked, "By the way, Qiuya, who is the artist who painted the 'Eastern Charm'? Can you introduce ?"
Ever since she saw that painting, Guo Shuxian had been eager to et the artist because his work, both in style and essence, deeply resonated with her, feeling like eting soone who truly understood her, and she admired him greatly.
"Ah? You don't know?" Zhang Qiuya asked, surprised. She clearly rembered seeing Guo Shuxian and Hao Jian dining together when she left.
"Should I know?" Guo Shuxian was even more puzzled. If she knew, why would she ask you?
"Didn't Hao Jian tell you?" Zhang Qiuya blinked, assuming Hao Jian would have told her.
"What does that guy have to do with this?" Guo Shuxian pouted slightly, annoyed at the re ntion of him.
"Because that guy is the artist of 'Eastern Charm'," Zhang Qiuya said with a wry smile, almost certain now that Hao Jian had told Guo Shuxian nothing.
"What?" Guo Shuxian was shocked. Hao Jian was the artist of that painting? That scoundrel? How could that be possible?
"You're joking with , right?" Guo Shuxian's expression was incredibly vivid. Since the auction ended, she had been searching for Hao Jian's whereabouts, yet he had been right under her nose and she had no idea?
"Auntie, why would I joke about sothing like this? The painting is indeed his work; actually, I asked him to paint it. He previously painted one for Xiaoxiao; didn't Xiaoxiao tell you?" Zhang Qiuya asked curiously.
Guo Shuxian was speechless. So the painting at ho was Hao Jian's work? When she first saw the painting, she had asked Xiaoxiao who had given her such an expensive piece, but Xiaoxiao had adamantly refused to tell her.
"Sorry, Auntie. I thought Hao Jian would tell you, so I didn't say it beforehand," Zhang Qiuya said apologetically.
"It's not your fault," Guo Shuxian said with a bitter smile and shook her head, "The bla lies with that guy for deliberately keeping in the dark."
It seed she had misjudged him, the man's depth was far greater than what appeared on the surface.
..
"Hao Jian, where are you?"
Just out of the auction house, Hao Jian received a call from Shu Ya.
"I'm outside, what's up?" Hao Jian asked.
"I'm at the company, co back imdiately," Shu Ya said in an unquestionable tone, her voice harsh and cold.
Hao Jian was startled, wondering if the woman had eaten gunpowder, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"We're going to find Shu Yuntu!" After saying this, Shu Ya hung up the phone abruptly.
Hao Jian stared at his phone, dazed for a long ti, before a slight smile appeared on his lips, "She's finally made up her mind."
Fu Jini hadn't expected Shu Ya and Hao Jian to visit suddenly. When she opened the door, her eyes were clearly moist, obviously having just cried.
That morning, she had also received news of Chen Sen's death, stating that he had been beaten to death by seven thugs the night before. Now, nearly a week had passed since the incident, yet the police had still not captured any suspects. The police said the murderer was too cunning, leaving no evidence behind, they were still investigating.
Seeing Fu Jini's moist eyes, Hao Jian and Shu Ya instantly understood the situation. Explore stories on empire
"Thank you." Suddenly, Shu Ya turned to look at Hao Jian, realizing that what he had said was true, that Fu Jini was truly conspiring with Chen Sen to seize control of Shu Ya Group, and if not for Hao Jian, they might have succeeded.
Hao Jian had done too much for her, so much that it couldn't be asured in money. Even if she gave the entire Shu Ya Group to Hao Jian, she felt it wouldn't compensate for all he had done for her.
"Let's take care of business first," Hao Jian said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Jini was already in a bad mood these days, and to avoid letting Shu Yuntu discover, she could only cry quietly by herself when Shu Yuntu was out.
Now seeing two adversaries at her doorstep, she imdiately showed anger and glared fiercely at Hao Jian and Shu Ya.
