Chapter 465

"Come over here."

When Huo Yu spoke those words again, his face was filled with impatience. Liu Xin snapped back to reality and quickly walked over, cautiously leaning against him, her attention solely focused on him.

Qin Wei still wore a cold expression, but her heart began to stir with excitement.

"I was right! Something is off about these two!! My judgment of people is spot-on!!"

But what good did that do? At this moment, she had no idea what this person intended to do...

With that thought, Qin Wei felt a bit disheartened.

Consequently, an added weight of seriousness was visible in her already aloof demeanor.

"Liu Xin."

Huo Yu called her name.

"Mr. Huo, you called?"

Liu Xin responded softly.

Huo Yu tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Apologize to Miss Qin." "Huh?"

Liu Xin clearly didn't understand why Mr. Huo would ask this, looking at him in confusion.

"Hurry up."

Huo Yu's tone softened as he patiently instructed her.

Liu Xin swallowed her saliva, reluctant as she was, but still approached Qin Wei:

"Miss Qin, I'm sorry."

Qin Wei remained silent, looking at Huo Yu, hoping for an explanation.

"Not sincere enough, let's try again."

Huo Yu sighed.

"Otherwise, learn from me, Miss Qin. I was wrong, Liu Xin."

There was an overwhelming sense of pressure, and Liu Xin obediently followed suit:

"Miss Qin, I was wrong..."

Huo Yu continued:

"Miss Qin, at the beginning of the year, during the reality show on the island, I caused you to fall into the sea, stranded on a deserted island, nearly dying. It was me who wanted you dead, I lost my conscience."

Both Liu Xin and Qin Wei wore equally astonished expressions. Liu Xin shook her head:

"No, it wasn't me. I only wanted to teach her a lesson, no, it was Chen Xinya..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Xin felt a tearing pain in her scalp. Huo Yu stood up, grabbing her hair with one hand and pinching her neck with the other, pulling her into his embrace.

Huo Yu whispered in her ear:

"But all the evidence I found pointed to you. You paid someone to evade investigation through technical means, and you hired a killer, Liu Xin."

Qin Wei remained silent, her gaze lowered, but she could still see that Liu Xin was trembling.

After Huo Yu finished speaking, he let go of Liu Xin, meticulously straightened his wrinkled suit, and then sat back on the sofa, his expression returning to normal.

"So, apologize. First, you need to correct your attitude and go beg Miss Qin in the most humble manner for her forgiveness. Otherwise..."

Huo Yu turned his head, looking at Mu Chen.

"I don't hit women. Mu Chen, can you do it for me?"

Mu Chen walked over with a cheerful smile, taking out a pocket knife from his pocket.

"Bro, I don't hit women either. I'm softhearted and can't stand seeing them cry.

But I can take care of her directly. I have a steady hand and a quick blade, it won't hurt."

Liu Xin, who had been released, knelt on the ground and took a minute to recover. She crawled to Qin Wei's side, clutching onto the hem of her clothes, and sobbed:

"Miss Qin, I know I've offended you. I know I have a bad character. But we're all just trying to make a living in this industry. I did want to kill you, but I couldn't, I really couldn't..."

Qin Wei didn't know how to respond to Liu Xin, so she looked up at Huo Yu.

"Huo Boss, just hand over the evidence to the police..."

"Ah... Then that means no forgiveness."

Huo Yu sighed, looking quite regretful. He raised his hand, signaling Mu Chen.

"Miss Qin doesn't forgive, so it's up to you, Mu Chen..."

"Alright."

Mu Chen came over and pulled Liu Xin. Liu Xin was surely afraid and struggled, but to her surprise, Mu Chen's strength was unusually strong. With a pair of hands gripping her arms, she couldn't move.

Perhaps realizing that Huo Yu wasn't joking, Liu Xin was so afraid that she couldn't even make a sound, despairingly looking at Qin Wei.

"Enough."

Qin Wei looked at Mu Chen and Huo Yu.

"I don't know what kind of act you two are playing and what you're trying to achieve. If I have to forgive her, then I forgive her. Is that okay? Can I leave now?"

Qin Wei said as she stood up, but she was stopped by Huo Yu.

"Miss Qin, I'm just seeking justice for you! She tried to harm you in an extreme way, and I found out through unconventional means. Handing it over to the police would cause trouble for me, but I desperately wanted to avenge you. This can be considered my way of making it up to you."

"Making it up?"

Qin Wei looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

Huo Yu smiled gently.

"I promised to give you a gift, to let you witness the collapse of the reputation of the Qiao family at the evening party. I didn't expect, Miss Qin, that you are such a gentle person. Not only did you forgive Liu Xin, who harmed you, but you can also forgive Qiao Sixiao, who stole your resources." "You didn't like the gift I prepared for you, so now I want to make it up to you."

Qin Wei rubbed her forehead.

"I forgive them all, but please stop here. Mr. Huo doesn't seem to be friendly toward his artists, and I have no intention of signing with him. I have a general idea that this place is Mr. Huo's territory, but..."

Qin Wei's phone rang. Instead of answering immediately, she raised her phone to show him. The name displayed was Qiao Sixiao's.

"My friend is urging me to come back for dinner. I remember Mr. Huo just said he also invested in this movie. You don't plan to eliminate all the key creators before the movie is even finished, do you?"

Huo Yu laughed.

"Miss Qin likes to joke, and I like to joke too. I frightened Liu Xin, but as her agent, I naturally have to take good care of her. Liu Xin is also aware of it, right?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin, with tears streaming down her face, nodded continuously.

"Yes, yes... Miss Qin, thank you, thank you for forgiving..."

"Is it enough? Can I leave now?"

Qin Wei's phone rang again.

"Please go ahead, Miss Qin."

Huo Yu pointed toward the door.

"Mu Chen, escort Miss Qin back and be courteous to a lady."

"Miss Qin, enjoy your stay on the island. Today, I just wanted to show you a glimpse of my sincerity. We can discuss the rest later."

Sincerity?

Qin Wei was curious, but she didn't want to inquire further. She hadn't sorted out this matter yet, and if possible, she didn't want to know at all.

"Miss Qin, please."

Mu Chen released Liu Xin and stood up, adjusting his suit. He went ahead and opened the door for Qin Wei.

Leaving the villa and making sure they were the only two, Qin Wei finally asked him:

"If I don't intervene, would you really take action?"

Mu Chen replied lightly:

"You won't sit idly by."

"But will Liu Xin die?"

Qin Wei was a bit worried.

Mu Chen still smiled and led her forward, saying:

"Who would casually kill their own money tree? Liu Xin is still making money for the company, and Mr. Huo seems to like her at the moment..."

"So what does your boss really want? Did we come here just for a vacation? Does he want me to sign a contract? Does he want me to be a money tree like Liu Xin? Or does he want to treat me the way he treated Liu Xin?"

Qin Wei was completely confused, unable to figure it out at all.

Mu Chen stopped and turned around, looking at her with his hands behind his back:

"Miss Qin, my brother is extending an olive branch to you, albeit in a somewhat rough manner. But he just wants to make you happy. Look, even Liu Xin, who has bullied you, is kneeling before you now. Life and death are in your hands. Aren't you happy?"

"I'm not happy. The only one who can punish her is the law. No one, absolutely no one, can override the law."
