Chapter 831: Exposed

Huo Yichen picked her up at the entrance of the restaurant, saving the both of them a lot of effort.

The few advantages of the new company were that it was very close to the apartment the two of them were currently living in. Coupled with the fact that they were driving, they arrived home in less than ten minutes.

Murong Qiao walked in first and placed her bag on a cabinet at the side before changing into her slippers.

While she was changing her shoes, the bag that was placed at the side tilted to the side restlessly. Then, the concert tickets inside fell out.

Fortunately, Huo Yichen, who was behind, caught them quickly. Otherwise, they would have fallen to the ground.

“…Tickets?” Huo Yichen glanced at them casually and read the words on it.

Murong Qiao replied, “Fifth Brother gave it to me today. Shall we go together?”

The moment Xian Yu gave her the tickets, Murong Qiao thought of Huo Yichen.

There has been a lot of work to do in the company recently. After dealing with these, she could relax.

“Alright.” Huo Yichen agreed without hesitation and put the tickets aside to take good care of them.

Nothing was more important than Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao pulled him in. Because the house had welcomed its owner, the bright yellow warm lights were also lit.

The moment the lights lit up, the soft and warm atmosphere filled every corner of the room. Even the sofa became much softer under the light, making one unable to help but fall into it.

As the two of them had already eaten at the restaurant before returning, they were not hungry now.

Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen along and nestled on the sofa. From time to time, she would look at the night scenery outside through the balcony.

The location of the apartment was very good. It was so good that one could see the starry sky and the neon-like traffic at a glance. Looking down from above, the scenery was quite wonderful.

As it was a private night, even her posture on the sofa was much more impudent.

The L-shaped sofa was divided into two by the two of them. Murong Qiao occupied the long side and leaned against Huo Yichen with her phone. It didn’t delay the other party from working on his laptop.

[President, I’ve already done what you asked.]

On Huo Yichen’s computer screen was a work report sent by Ye Zhen not long ago.

[Alright.] Huo Yichen’s answer was much more concise.

Sensing the vibration of the phone in his pocket, Ye Zhen, who was in the company, took it out and took a look.

Seeing that it was a message from the President, Ye Zhen’s expression immediately became much more serious.

Huo Qiuguang, who was sitting beside Ye Zhen and sweating as he watched the surveillance video, didn’t look very good.

“Assistant Ye…” he said shakily. Even his voice was unstable.

Huo Qiuguang, who had always enjoyed a high position in the Huo Corporation with his status, was a little speechless in the face of the surveillance video in front of him.

However, compared to not knowing what to say at this moment, the situation shown on the surveillance cameras was clearly more serious.

“Little Ya, she must have a reason for doing this… I’ll call her now.”

Huo Qiuguang didn’t even believe his own words.

However, he watched helplessly as Huo Ya flipped through the documents he had placed in the safe. It was such a huge matter. Even if he wanted to protect his daughter now, he couldn’t do it with his little ability.

“I think the situation is very clear from the surveillance cameras.”

Ye Zhen didn’t give Huo Qiuguang a chance to struggle. He took out the USB drive containing the surveillance video and held it in his hand. Then, his cold gaze landed on Huo Qiuguang in front of him, not mixed with any personal feelings.

Ye Zhen was not especially surprised by this.

Previously, the Huo Corporation had already sensed signs of a traitor. In order to investigate the other party’s identity, Ye Zhen had deliberately left several “traps”.

Originally, there was no movement for a few days. He thought that the other party was also smart and knew how to lie low. In the end, this surprise was delivered to him.

Huo Qiuguang’s face was as pale as a sheet. “Assistant Ye, I’ve worked in the Huo Corporation for so many years. Even if I haven’t contributed much, I’ve worked hard. Please—”

“I think you should explain this to the President yourself.”

Ye Zhen had no intention of arguing with the other party. He only cared about preserving the evidence and prepared to leave.

Huo Qiuguang couldn’t keep him here even if he wanted to. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhen left.

Ye Zhen was very polite when he left. He even closed the door considerately, leaving Huo Qiuguang some privacy.

However, after he left, Huo Qiuguang felt his limbs turn cold and he collapsed on the chair. If not for the back of the chair supporting his entire body, Huo Qiuguang would probably have made a fool of himself just now.

Although he doted on his daughter, he knew the severity of the matter.

Thinking about how he usually indulged Huo Ya, he didn’t expect her to cause such a huge disaster today. Huo Qiuguang was immediately furious.

He took a deep breath and looked at the time. Huo Ya was usually at home at this time of night.

Huo Qiuguang didn’t hesitate. He picked up his car keys and rushed home without another word.

At this moment, Huo Ya still didn’t know what she was about to face.

She stayed in her bedroom. At this moment, her mind was still filled with thoughts of Huo Xiuyuan’s strange behavior and that beautiful foreign daughter.

Some things and answers were easily resolved when she saw Kelly.

She immediately understood why Huo Xiuyuan didn’t want to come out and meet her even though she had asked him out a few times.

She looked at her cell phone distractedly, her stomach filled with grievances, but she didn’t know who to tell.

Just as Huo Ya was in a daze, there was a heavy slamming of the door downstairs. It was as if someone had returned.

At this time…

Only one person would return.

Just as Huo Ya was thinking about her father, the other party had also rushed upstairs angrily and pushed open her door.

“Huo Ya! Get out here!”

His aggressive voice made Huo Ya tremble in fear.

She held up a blank expression. “Dad?”

“Come out.” But Huo Qiuguang’s tone was colder than she had ever heard it. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Huo Ya had never seen her father being so fierce before. Seeing that the other party was about to flare up, she immediately shut her mouth and followed him downstairs without saying anything.

It was unknown if he had instructed the servants, but there was no one downstairs. The nanny, who had always liked to clean, was hiding in some corner.

“Who did you give the document to?” Huo Qiuguang asked as soon as he saw her.

Huo Ya’s heart tightened. “W-what document?”

She was hoping that she could get away with it. Little did she know that Huo Qiuguang had rushed home this time to look for her precisely for this matter.

“The documents you took from my safe,” Huo Qiuguang pointed out.

If it were any other time, he might still be in the mood to say a few gentle words to his daughter and wouldn’t be so angry.

But this time was different.

He had to give Huo Yichen an explanation tonight. Otherwise, if he really waited for Ye Zhen to report it, he would probably be kicked out of the Finance Department when Huo Yichen came to the company tomorrow!

At the thought of the status and everything he had struggled for decades to obtain, Huo Qiuguang rejected this possibility without thinking.

He couldn’t wait until tomorrow.

“I… I…”

Hearing that her father knew what she had done, Huo Ya, who was already feeling guilty, turned even paler and stammered for a long time without saying anything.

Huo Qiuguang was burning with anxiety. Seeing that Huo Ya couldn’t make a single sound, he was so angry that he slapped her on the spot.
