Chapter 529 Everyone has weaknesses

Qin Luofeng paused for a moment: "Are you sure that's what Second Uncle said?"

"Not sure if I'll call you back?" Qin Muchuan's expression was somber.

"That doesn't necessarily mean he told Jiang Ruan about what happened back then," Qin Luofeng analyzed rationally. "It's also possible that he went to cause trouble for Jiang Ruan, and she brought it up with him."

Qin Muchuan paused.

He hadn't thought about that.

“Jiang Ruan has met Xiao He. Although everyone pretends not to know, she must know in her heart,” Qin Luofeng said. “In addition, Qin Jiangye is close to her.”

"You mean Qin Jiangye betrayed us?" Qin Muchuan frowned slightly.

"I don't know." Qin Luofeng didn't draw a conclusion, "but it's a fact that Jiang Ruan knows about her aunt."

Qin Muchuan's mind went completely blank for a moment.

The thought of this matter being exposed one day fills me with irritation.

"What if it was him who told Jiang Ruan?" Qin Muchuan thought this was more likely. "He was incredibly arrogant back then, unlike how he usually acts."

“You and I share the majority of the blame for what happened back then,” Qin Luofeng said. “He was probably convinced that we would find a way to resolve it, since if we really investigated, his responsibility would be the least significant.”

Qin Muchuan frowned deeply: "What do we do now?"

Qin Luofeng: "Keep quiet."

"How do we silence her? Don't forget Jiang Ruan's current status." Qin Muchuan felt this was completely impractical. "We had the upper hand back then, but now she does."

"I will explain it to Xiao He," Qin Luofeng said.

"It can't be sealed off." Qin Muchuan asked him, his expression much more serious than before.

"If we can't contain it, we must bear the responsibility we should," Qin Luofeng said.

Qin Muchuan: "?"

Qin Muchuan immediately flew into a rage: "I think you've been brainwashed by Jiang Ruan's family! Take responsibility? You make it sound so easy! How are you going to take responsibility!"

Qin Luofeng did not speak.

"Why don't you take a look at what happened to Li Chengxuan's lineage?" Qin Muchuan thought he was out of his mind. "What kind of life have his wife and son been living since he was sentenced to death?"

"The one who ultimately carried out this matter is Xiao He, and the person behind her is me." Qin Luofeng met his gaze and said the rest of his words, "If it really comes to a head, I will take full responsibility and will not involve you."

"Is this something we're dragging into?!" Qin Muchuan thought he was confused. "If you go to jail, the Qin family will be smeared! What will outsiders think of us then?"

Qin Luofeng's eyes met his.

He did not speak.

He still had something to say.

He was gambling on a possibility: that even if the truth came out one day, he wouldn't be in any trouble. But he couldn't tell anyone, because if he did, his father would likely give himself away, and it would backfire.

"I will absolutely not allow you to mess around with this." Qin Muchuan's attitude was firm. "Either you find out whether Qin Muchi has any dealings with Jiang Ruan, or you clean up Xiao He's side."

"There's something you might not know yet," Qin Luofeng said.

Qin Muchuan looked at him with a serious expression: "What is it?"

"Huo Zhizhou has regained his memory." Qin Luofeng was quite well-informed about these kinds of things.

Qin Muchuan: "?"

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly: "So fast."

Qin Luofeng nodded: "Mm."

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Qin Muchuan's heart.

Given Li Chengxuan's precedent, there was always a bit of fear towards Huo Zhizhou.

After all, this person's methods were ruthless.

"Where is he now?" he asked tentatively. "Is he fighting to the death with Huo Sinian in Jingzhou?"

Qin Luofeng: "No."

Qin Muchuan: "How is that possible?"

Huo Sinian took advantage of his amnesia to seize the position of president of Huo Group and did so many things to annoy him? After regaining his memory, why doesn't he cause him any trouble?

"Not only did they not fight, but the shares of the Huo Group also changed." Qin Luofeng was very accurate in his understanding of this information. "Now the Huo Group is fully managed by Huo Sinian, and the shares are also in his hands."

Qin Muchuan: "???"

For the first time, Qin Muchuan found the news difficult to process.

He took out his phone to check.

As Qin Luofeng said, the shareholder changed from Huo Zhizhou to Huo Sinian.

"Does Huo Zhizhou have some kind of leverage over him?" Qin Muchuan asked.

"I don't know." Qin Luofeng was unaware of the Huo family's internal affairs; all he knew was superficial. "They completed the share transfer in a very short time."

Qin Muchuan couldn't understand it.

The Huo Group's shares are worth more than the Qin Group's shares.

Huo Zhizhou holds more than 20% of the shares.

Just like that, the transfer was done? Could it be that Huo Sinian really holds Huo Zhizhou's lifeline in his hands? Forcing him to hand it over?

“Since he’s given it away, we have nothing to be afraid of him.” Qin Muchuan’s thinking was simple: “Without the Huo Group, he’s just someone with ability but no way to demonstrate it.”

Qin Luofeng's brows were furrowed.

At that moment, he truly realized how wrong his grandfather's choice had been.

How could he have driven away his capable aunt and kept his father and second uncle?

"Have you forgotten that the shrewd and calculating Second Young Master Huo also wields immense power in all sectors?" Qin Luofeng reminded him. "The Huo Group is merely his most visible business."

They had no idea how many businesses Huo Zhizhou owned.

No one knows how extensive his network of connections is.

But there's nothing he can't do if he sets his mind to it.

"Then investigate Qin Muchi first," Qin Muchuan blurted out. "See if he's cooperating with Jiang Ruan. If he is, we'll start with him. If not, we won't think about anything else."

"Okay," Qin Luofeng replied.

But in my heart, I didn't intend to do as he said.

The man they were talking about had already arrived home. Thinking about the unfinished business at the company, he sent Jiang Ruan a voice message: "Go find a woman named He Jia. She knows everything."

Jiang Ruan was resting when she received this message.

She replied with a few words: "I know she was the one who did it back then, but she's one of Qin Muchuan's people, so she definitely won't tell me the truth."

"Everyone has a weakness," Qin Luofeng said. "If we find her weakness, how can we be afraid she won't tell us?"

Jiang Ruan listened to the voice message.

Tang, who was in the office with her, said, "Your second uncle does have a brain sometimes."

Mo Mo: "Yes."

Qin Muchi's voice message continued: "I remember she had a younger brother. After she finished dealing with this matter, Qin Luofeng gave her a large sum of money."

"Okay," Jiang Ruan replied and put her phone aside.

"Should we investigate?" Mo Mo asked.

Jiang Ruan: "Check."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Mo Mo left the office and began to handle her business.

Jiang Ruan was somewhat conflicted. She didn't know if Xiao He would implicate Qin Luofeng and Qin Muchuan. If he didn't, then even with her second uncle's testimony, it wouldn't be very effective.

"Are you worried that He Jia won't cooperate?" Tang Bai guessed what she was thinking through her micro-expressions and asked.

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

Tang Bai leaned back in his chair, his tone casual: "Everyone has weaknesses. Once you find the right weakness, she'll point it out."
