CHAPTER 764: CHAPTER 764: OLD MASTER HUO GETS BEATEN UP

Qin Chao tore the 5 million yuan check that Old Master Huo had given to Shui Linglong into shreds.

He threw it on his face.

He spoke harshly as well: "You think 5 million yuan is enough to invite Miss Shui? You’re dreaming, are you mistaking B City for your backwater town of Yangcheng!"

"Don’t mess with Miss Shui, or I’ll make sure you can’t find your way home!"

Qin Chao spat again.

Old Master Huo was both beaten and humiliated, almost passing out in anger.

He wanted to call the police.

Qin Chao grabbed his hand, staring at him: "Sure, let your concubine come pick you up! Let her see what kind of person you really are!"

Despite his greed for Yin Mingzhu, Old Master Huo had no choice but to painfully part with his desire!

He returned to the hotel.

Old Master Huo, unwilling to let it go, was determined to find out who the man behind the famous actor was to vent his anger.

But no matter how much he searched, he found nothing.

Old Master Huo thought: It must be someone formidable!

Then someone passed on the news: the famous actor used to be involved with He Jitang, they even met recently!

Old Master Huo exploded with rage: Damn you, He Jitang! You need my help now yet you conspire against me over a woman, out of jealousy!

Old Master Huo was unhappy.

By coincidence, that evening, he had a dinner engagement with He Jitang.

Yin Mingzhu accompanied them.

It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but all night Old Master Huo covered his face, gloomily staring at He Jitang.

He Jitang, on the contrary, was beaming and personally poured wine for Old Master Huo.

He said: "Old Master Huo, who dared to attack you upon your arrival to B City? Just tell me, I’ll set things straight for you."

The more He Jitang spoke, the angrier Old Master Huo got.

He pointed at He Jitang: "I collaborated with you because I thought you were genuine, but little did I know you would stoop so low over a woman!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Mingzhu flushed with shyness.

He Jitang actually held her in his heart!

She had been completely unaware.

He Jitang was taken aback: Old Master Huo’s words were not making any sense.

But being quick-witted, he soon understood.

A few days ago, Old Master Huo had his eye on Shui Linglong. Most likely, his subsequent actions backfired, resulting in a beating.

And now someone had pinned the blame on him, He Jitang.

Two birds with one stone!

Such a despicable act could only be the doing of his youngest sister.

He Jitang was not angered, he held his wine cup to apologize to Old Master Huo: "I truly wasn’t aware of this! Later tonight, I’ll inspect my servants to see who dared to cross the line. Should there be one, I will bring them before Old Master Huo for you to deal with as you see fit."

His straightforward and fair demeanor left Old Master Huo with little to say in discontent.

He Jitang drank another cup: "What happened with Shui Linglong is in the past, but... there is indeed someone behind her! Beauties are easy to find, why doesn’t Old Master Huo look for another?"

Old Master Huo sighed: "It was all a misunderstanding!"

His mind still lingered on that tempting body, but then he thought of her as a woman He Jitang had been with...

He hesitated!

He Jitang was devious.

He denies involvement with the actress, but who knew for sure?

It could be mere talk, while he harbored hatred in his heart.

Right there and then, Old Master Huo actually gave up the famous actor and accepted another beauty presented by He Jitang, immediately carrying her to the next room to bestow his affections.

Yin Mingzhu was infuriated.

She confronted He Jitang: "If you offered me to Old Master Huo, why did you send another woman his way?"

He Jitang sipped his drink nonchalantly.

He looked up at her.

At the corner of his eye, there was a tear mole, crimson like blood.

He was indeed handsome. Yin Mingzhu, having served the old man for a long time, couldn’t help but feel affection.

She then tried to get intimate with He Jitang.

He Jitang coldly rebuffed her, stating: "You were desperate and Old Master Huo took you in. He’s willing to give you social standing, but expecting him to devote himself to you alone is impossible! Mingzhu, try to learn from Lin Jinrong—Mrs. Lin—and see how to be a proper wife!"

With that, he stood up and left.

Yin Mingzhu, hearing the activities of the shameless old man from next door, clenched her teeth in rage.

...

He Jitang walked out of the private room.

Shen Ci was waiting outside, helping his master to put on his coat.

Beneath the light, He Jitang’s face was cold and noble.

He told Shen Ci: "Check where Miss Su is!"

In no time, Shen Ci had the information: "Miss Su performed an important surgery this afternoon, she’s still at the hospital."
