Chapter 2035: Chapter 2035: Cao Xin’s Rage
Two days later.
When Liao Shuyun and her team returned from their paid leave, they immediately filed a lawsuit with the court.
As for Cao Xin at this moment, he was still clueless about what was happening outside.
After more than ten days of recovery, his injuries were almost healed. Except for the brace on his neck, he was already able to walk on his own.
However, to ensure there would be no lingering injuries, Cao Xin stayed in the hospital without leaving.
Actually, it’s not really "staying" since he paid the hospital fees daily, and the hospital liked having wealthy patients like him.
On this day, Cao Xin was holding his phone, chatting with a girl he met online.
Just as he was in the middle of an exciting conversation, a slender, middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walked up to him.
"Hmm? Old Cat? Why are you back?" Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Cao Xin immediately put down his phone and excitedly asked, "Didn’t I ask you to investigate that bitch’s whereabouts? Have you found her?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Old Cat nodded and said, "I’m a professional private investigator. As long as you can pay, I can definitely find the person you’re looking for."
"I’ve found the woman you’re talking about."
"Really? Where is she now? Did you manage to catch her?" Cao Xin asked through gritted teeth.
Hearing his words, Old Cat shook his head and said, "I’m a private investigator, not a kidnapper. She has probably already gone abroad. I found her at the airport, and she was just about to go through security."
"Damn, you let her get away?" Cao Xin couldn’t help but curse, "What a useless idiot!"
Old Cat couldn’t help but frown, then said in an unhappy tone, "Boss Cao, we’re just in a cooperative relationship. I’m not your subordinate, so I hope you’ll speak to me with some respect in the future."
"Respect? Haha, I gave you a whole three hundred thousand to track down that bitch’s whereabouts, and you couldn’t even do that little thing. You still have the nerve to talk to me about respect?" Cao Xin sneered, then disdainfully said, "Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue over these trivial matters. After you found that woman, did you get any clues about the assailant from her?"
Even though Old Cat was very angry now, he still held back when he thought of the unpaid fifty thousand, and he said, "I did find some clues about the assailant. But it wasn’t from that woman, I found suspected surveillance footage of the assailant in a restaurant near the parking lot."
"You found surveillance footage? Is this for real?" Cao Xin asked in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Old Cat nodded and said, "Yes, I checked the footage. During the time you were injured and unconscious, only three people entered that underground parking lot."
"The photos? Show them to me." Cao Xin quickly said.
Without further ado, Old Cat took out a photo from his briefcase.
The image in the photo was, of course, from the surveillance footage.
When Cao Xin saw the photo of one man and two women, for some reason, even though the characters’ features were blurry, he felt he had seen that man somewhere before.
The inexplicable feeling of familiarity immediately plunged him into deep thought.
But just then, there was a knock on the door of the hospital room.
"Come in."
Cao Xin said with some impatience, feeling a bit annoyed after having his thoughts interrupted.
When he responded, a bodyguard immediately opened the door and walked in, holding an envelope: "President Cao, something bad happened!"
"What’s bad? What are you talking about?" Cao Xin frowned and said in an unhappy tone, "Hurry up and tell me what happened!"
Seeing the panting bodyguard, a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.
The bodyguard, perhaps not catching his breath, couldn’t say a word.
Growing anxious, Cao Xin snatched the envelope from his hand. When he opened it and saw the court notice, he was stunned.
It was unclear how much time passed before Cao Xin finally came to his senses: "How is this possible? How did Qianqiu Group find out about my bribery of the pharmacy inspector? Why am I only finding out about something so important now? What the hell were you all doing?"
He was in a rage, feeling as if his anger was about to burst out.
Because if this matter went to court, it would really become a big deal!
What especially infuriated Cao Xin was that Qianqiu Group not only planned to terminate the contract with him, but also demanded that he pay a compensation of fifteen million! Although he could come up with this money, to Cao Xin who valued wealth as his life, paying fifteen million was almost the same as killing him!
Cao Xin gripped the court notice tightly, and finally, unable to hold back, he said to the bodyguard, "Get a car ready for me right now. I need to go to Qianqiu Group!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard nodded and immediately ran out to make preparations.
"President Cao, what about the rest of my money?"
Seeing him about to leave, Old Cat quickly asked.
Upon hearing this, Cao Xin, while getting dressed, stifled his anger and said wearily, "Do you think I’m short on your lousy money? The rest will be in your account by tomorrow morning, that’s it!"
After saying that, he walked out of the hospital room.
Only after Cao Xin vanished from sight could Old Cat resist spitting in disdain, saying, "Just a nouveau riche idiot, putting on airs? I’ve seen countless wealthy people, and I’ve never seen one like you who pretends so much!"
After saying this, he spat on the floor again.
As if the tiles were Cao Xin, he vented all his displeasure.
After doing all this, Old Cat left the hospital, satisfied.
Meanwhile.
When Cao Xin got downstairs, the driver was already waiting with the car by the roadside.
Once everyone was in the car, the driver started the engine and headed toward Qianqiu Group.
After about half an hour, Cao Xin arrived at Qianqiu Group with four bodyguards.
"I want to see your Mr. Mo!"
Cao Xin said coldly as he approached the reception desk.
Since this was Qianqiu Group’s territory, he didn’t dare to be too arrogant in his tone.
In response, the receptionist smiled and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
"I don’t have an appointment. My name is Cao Xin, a friend of your Mr. Mo," Cao Xin said with a sullen face, "Just make a call upstairs, saying that Cao Xin is looking for her!"
Seeing that he looked quite anxious, the receptionist, thinking he might have something important to discuss with Mo Anna, didn’t dare delay and immediately dialed Mo Anna’s office...
