Chapter 140: Couldn’t Do Anything

Mo Yan said helplessly, “Sister Xu, were you really angry yesterday? I didn’t go back all night and you didn’t look for me.”

Xu Tian frowned and said, “Your husband called me yesterday. Didn’t he tell you?”

Xu Tian’s words surprised Mo Yan. Luo Tao called sister Xu?

“Ah! So it’s like that! He might have forgotten to tell me,” Mo Yan said.

“If everything is as you said, then it’s not only our plan, but the plan of Chen Ya’s group will also not be approved?” Xu Tian pondered and asked.

“Probably.”

Her actions last night should have thoroughly angered the young master. It seemed that she would return empty-handed this time. Forget it! As long as she was not blamed.

“Okay.”

After chatting with Xu Tian for a while, Mo Yan hung up the phone.

Luo Tao also received a report from his subordinates. Chen Ya and Chen Jin instructed Mo Lian to knock Mo Yan out and send Mo Yan to Lin Peng.

“How’s the police investigation going?” Luo Tao asked with a frown.

“It’s not going well. Someone is obstructing it.”

“Help them.” Luo Tao’s frown deepened.

“If we help them, the Huo family will notice.” Qin Yuan disagreed, and Du Jing nodded as well.

Previously, whether it was to protect Mo Yan or to go abroad, Luo Tao had mobilized people who were not in the Huo family’s sights. There were not many people in this group, but they were absolutely loyal.

As foreign affairs required people who could be trusted to handle, Luo Tao left many people for Wen Ze, while he himself was somewhat lacking in manpower.

However, from the way Luo Tao returned to Jing City and pretended to be decadent, if he used the Huo family’s power, it would definitely alert the Huo family’s second and third masters, and then they would target him together. Then everything that he had done before would be useless.

“Qin Yuan, let your people do it,” Luo Tao said.

Qin Yuan sighed and said to Luo Tao, “I’m afraid it won’t work this time. Recently, a few forces have been investigating my people. Even my father knows about it, and he even called to ask.”

Luo Tao seemed to be thinking, Qin Yuan continued, “You know the power of the Huo family. No one dares to interfere. After your car accident, a lot of things happened in Jing City. Everyone thought that you were dead. Many forces within the Huo family have changed.”

Qin Yuan’s eyes were filled with helplessness as he spoke. He hoped that Luo Tao would understand and stop insisting.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you haven’t been in contact with little sister-in-law ever since you returned to Jing City, they would have already gotten a clear picture of little sister-in-law.”

Knocking on the table, Luo Tao instructed his subordinates, “Give second uncle the project that he wants. Has third uncle already arranged everything?”

“Yes, Fourth Master.”

“Okay, have people check on him. If they find something, keep it quiet.”

“Yes.”

“Also, tell Wen Ze to pay more attention to fourth and fifth uncles. Be careful.”

“Yes, Fourth Master.”

The subordinates left after receiving the order. Luo Tao rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

Other than his few uncles, he also needed to set up a trap to remove the snakes around him. Living in that kind of environment, he had always been vigilant, yet people were still able to tamper with his car.

Du Jing saw that Luo Tao looked tired and could not help but say, “Why don’t I go to the police station with Miss Mo? Even if I’m not at Lin Peng’s level, I should be able to do at least this much.”

Luo Tao thought for a moment and glanced at Qin Yuan indifferently. “You go.”

“Ah?” The corner of Qin Yuan’s mouth twitched. Why did Huo Zhen need him to go?

Just as he was about to refuse, Luo Tao said, “The emperor green glass that you like.”

“It’s my duty to serve my sister-in-law.” Without waiting for Luo Tao to finish, Qin Yuan quickly got up and walked to the door. He did not forget to shout, “Huo Zhen! Remember to bring it here later.”

With the sound of the door closing, Qin Yuan’s figure completely disappeared from their sight.

Du Jing saw that Qin Yuan looked like he was being chased by a dog. He couldn’t help but click his tongue. “Why did you ask Qin Yuan to go?”

“Ha! He has a lot of scandals.”

Luo Tao sneered. It was all thanks to the things Qin Yuan did in C City. Even if someone went to investigate, they would probably think that Qin Yuan was pursuing Mo Yan. The more he thought about it, the more Luo Tao felt that he should beat that idiot up.

Du Jing saw that brother Huo had some killing intent when he said the word ‘scandal’, but he did not understand. In this circle, who did not know that this idiot Qin Yuan loved jewelry more than women?
