Chapter 443; Engaged to Huo Shen?

Chapter 443: Chapter 443; Engaged to Huo Shen?

"You are very stupid! Do you know that that woman is engaged to Huo Shen your Uncle? Do you have any idea what that means? He could have cleared all the data records that could compromise Su Wei Wei’s public image, and then, he must have had that video that made the judicial system set her free because she isn’t the real murderer... For how long can you be this naive?" Huo Ciao gazed at Huo Yan like he was some dumb unbelievable creature. That was a common sense thing.

"Engaged to Huo Shen?" Huo Yan was surprised and shocked, he could recall having a chat with his Uncle to break off his engagement with Su Wei. And he actually did break it that same day without a delay to his excitement, but why was he getting engaged at the same time to a woman who used to be his fiance? Wasn’t this slapping him in the face?

What was he trying to insinuate here? That he was the bad guy and not Su Wei Wei... He didn’t like this one bit! How could he do that? He feels like he paved the way for those two to meet up.

"What else? So, do you think you can find those pieces of evidence as you think?" Huo Ciao coldly smirked eying his son. They knew Huo Yan was engaged to Su Wei Wei prior but whatever happened in between until the engagement got broken still confuses him up until now.

From her getting convicted of murder to her getting engaged to Huo Shen, this meant she was innocent and didn’t commit any murder, then who would have killed that nanny? And then at that time, he got that notification that the engagement had been broken, he didn’t know that it was Huo Yan who had requested his Uncle to do it for him so that he could get engaged to the good and sweet Su Qing.

"Father, Whatever I said wasn’t wrong! She was convicted of murder and that’s the truth! She has been to prison and we all know it!" Huo Yan wasn’t ready to accept the truth that he would be charged with slander since he lacked some concrete evidence.

"You better shut up your mouth! You don’t know why your grandfather arranged that engagement! Now see! You just missed the best opportunity for prosperity!" He was at that engagement and could see how everyone was trying to curry favour with Su Wei Wei seeing how Huo Shen pampered her. Their relationship seemed to be a strong and admirable one.

Actually, he had been told secretly by a fortune teller that whoever managed to marry Su Wei Wei would have nothing but prosperity. But it seemed like things weren’t working in his favor.

"Father, we can try searching and maybe we could find something! We shouldn’t be afraid of Huo Shen, we can talk to Grandpa Old Master Huo..." Huo Yan was very stubborn and didn’t want to submit himself and lower his pride.

"You are really an idiot thinking you will get any evidence!" He couldn’t talk sense into him. He wasn’t seeing the problem he had just caused by being wild.

"Hello, I’m the lawyer sent over by Master Huo, can we get down to business!" A lawyer walked into the room and gazed at the two men and the handcuffed guy who seemed to be arguing instead of chatting.

"Ohhh... Welcome.. I was thinking of requesting you to withdraw the case so that we could solve it out of the court amicably and we can come into agreement...." Huo Yan’s lawyer spoke up suggesting because they lacked evidence and the outcome was visible to everyone, they could solve it with other means which wouldn’t hurt/damage their image.

"I can withdraw the case but we need a compensation of two hundred million yuan... With that, we just need to sign the legal forms and the case should be closed... Let me know what you have in mind while I have a chat with the police officers..." After notifying them, he strode out of the private room over to the corridor and went to the left side of the administration.

Huo Shen’s lawyer was given instructions and a good figure to request, after all, their Missus didn’t have plans of getting Huo Yan jailed.

Huo Ciao wanted this case withdrawn as soon as possible, at the end of the day, it was he and their company that would be affected, Huo Shen wouldn’t feel any pinch and neither would Su Wei Wei.

"See the mess you are creating? If only you could have kept your mouth shut like your sister, it would have saved us a great deal." Huo Ciao was infuriated that he needed to fork out such a huge amount of money to solve this case out of court.

"Father, we shouldn’t pay them that amount so freely! There has to be some evidence somewhere! Let’s not give in to their fears just like that, that’s what they want!" Huo Yan panicked while his back stiffened clenching his fists tightly. His hands began sweating nervously, he could only rub them to clear the tension that was building up in his heart.

"Tsk! Where do you think you can find evidence to incriminate Huo Shen’s woman? You must be daydreaming!" He got his mobile phone and immediately called his Uncle who was at the garden tending to his flowers in the backyard garden.

The house help brought the landline phone over to where he was doing his gardening.

"Master, you have a phone call..." They notified him before passing the mobile phone over to him.

"Hello..." Old Master Huo immediately received the phone call that had been ringing.

"Hello Uncle, it’s me... They just sent their lawyer over and they are demanding two hundred million to set him free, if not, he might stay in the cell until tomorrow..." Huo Ciao called his Uncle for assistance....
