Han Chi returned quickly. He did not know what had happened between the two of them. After entering, he could not help but glance at Lin Xin. Lin Xin's heart raced.
"Have you found it out?" Huo Ce said coldly.
"Yes." His gaze involuntarily drifted to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin's heart was about to jump into her throat.
Han Chi was about to speak when Huo Ce raised his hand and stopped him. "Don't tell me who it is. Deal with it immediately. Arrest the reporter and author in charge. You should know what to do. Then throw them into prison. Release them once every three to five years and throw them in after they see the sun. They will go on a cycle and won't be reincarnated as long as I don't die!"
Lin Xin and Han Chi were stunned.
Han Chi said, "Yes!"
However, Lin Xin was so shocked that she broke out in sweat.
"Buy that media company and tear it down. Most importantly, find the person who instigated them and supported them. I won't be able to live in peace from now on if I don't swallow him whole. I don't care if it's my enemy or a cooperative company. I swear this upon my surname!" Huo Ce's tone was bone-chilling.
"No, no, don't be like this, Huo Ce," Lin Xin pleaded incoherently.
Han Chi did not dare to speak.
However, Huo Ce looked at him and said, "Go ahead. I want to see the results tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Han Chi replied and left.
Lin Xin panicked. "Huo Ce, why are you arguing with these people? We have so many serious things to do. Why do you have to take such a small matter to heart?"
Huo Ce sneered. "Small matter? What else can I do if I don't even say anything when I am bullied? Lin Xin, don't have any designs on Ning Wan. Ning Wan is mine. No one can bully her other than me!"
Lin Xin shivered and said involuntarily, "Yes, yes, I understand. I, I still have a meeting. I'll get going first."
Lin Xin left Huo Ce's office as if she was escaping and hurriedly went to look for Gu Lan.
Gu Lan was discussing a plan with the other employees. She forcefully announced the end of the meeting and asked the employees to leave immediately.
"What's going on?" Gu Lan asked Lin Xin in surprise.
Lin Xin looked panicked. "Quickly think of something. I found a media outlet to spread Ning Wan's rumors. Huo Ce wants to investigate this matter thoroughly now. We can't let Han Chi find out that I did it!"
Lin Xin stomped her feet anxiously.
Gu Lan was unhurried. "What are you afraid of? How can such a thing be so easy to investigate? Did you reveal your true identity when you looked for the media reporters?"
Lin Xin hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Gu Lan was surprised. "You didn't really tell the media your true identity, did you?"
"I, I had no choice! Han Chi had intimidated those media outlets in advance. No one dared to report on the Huo family. Which reporter would dare to do this if I didn't mention my identity?
Gu Lan was speechless and looked at Lin Xin helplessly. "Then haven't you thought about what will happen if Huo Ce finds out? You really don't leave any way out for yourself. Sigh, what should I say about you?"
"Aiya, let's not talk about this now. Hurry up and think of a way. We can't let Han Chi find out!" Lin Xin stomped her feet.
Gu Lan sighed. "We don't know what channels Han Chi used at all. Can we stop him from doing this? Why don't you think of another way?"
"What else can I do? There's no other way!" Lin Xin regretted her rashness now.
Gu Lan thought for a moment. "Have you gone to see Ning Wan?"
Lin Xin shook her head. "No, I just came out from Huo Ce's place and haven't had the time to go to Ning Wan's place. Han Chi has already started to take action. What should I do!"
Gu Lan's expression showed some disdain. "You actually went to Huo Ce's place first? What a waste of a good opportunity! You saw Huo Ce first, said that you felt sorry for him and persuaded him to give up on Ning Wan, right?"
"If you go and see Ning Wan first and provoke her before she knows about this, what do you think will happen? You could have comforted Huo Ce when she makes a fuss and Huo Ce gets impatient with her. Don't you think Huo Ce will be grateful to you?"
Gu Lantiao listed out the steps she should have taken to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin looked vexed and could not help but stomp her feet. "It's all ruined now. There's no other way. What should we do!"
Gu Lan looked at her helplessly and regretfully.
Lin Xin gritted her teeth. "No, I can't let that little b*tch Ning Wan off so easily!"
