Qin Zheng instantly felt afraid. After composing himself, he said coldly, “You could enter my office at will. If you want a name, I’m sure you can figure it out on your own.”
He did not deny that he was working for someone.
Huo Yao had crossed her legs. She put down her leg and got up from the couch. She walked up in front of Qin Zheng unhurriedly. “When you decided to work for Cutting Edge Group, did you ever stop to consider the consequences if something went wrong?”
The moment she mentioned the name, Qin Zheng instantly narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Huo Yao to know about Cutting Edge Group. He looked at Huo Yao coldly and paused before he said, “I don’t know what you mean.”
Huo Yao smiled and responded softly. “If Cutting Edge Group finds out that you leaked something, what do you think will happen to you and your family?”
!!
Qin Zheng clenched his fists and looked tense as a murderous look emerged in his eyes slowly, but he did not speak for some time.
He was unsure if Huo Yao was trying to trick him into divulging more.
He had already investigated her thoroughly. She was only closely connected to Min Yu and came from an ordinary family.
Huo Yao acted as though she did not see the look on Qin Zheng’s face. She spoke unhurriedly without giving him the chance to react. “What’s it going to be? I’m sure you know what’s at stake for you, right?”
“What do you know?” asked Qin Zheng angrily.
“Quite a bit.” Huo Yao nodded.
Qin Zheng studied Huo Yao’s expression trying to read her mind, but he was unable to see what she was thinking. After some time, he said, “Who are you looking for?”
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and said mildly, “Someone told you what to use against Min Yu. Give me a name.”
Qin Zheng looked at her quizzically. “Are you asking so that he can help treat Min Yu?”
Qin Zheng paused briefly and contemplated before he said knowingly, “In reality, Min Yu did have a severe relapse, right?”
Huo Yao looked at Qin Zheng strangely. She wanted to find Mi Wei and was wondering how to word herself without divulging her true intention. He unexpectedly came up with the perfect cover for her.
Qin Zheng caught onto Huo Yao’s silence and looked at her knowingly. He felt even more confident that he was right.
No wonder she came alone.
Huo Yao did not deny his accusation. “Does it matter? I still want to know who did it.”
Qin Zheng’s mind spun swiftly. “If you want the name, you have to trade it with your prescriptions. Otherwise, you can forget about squeezing anything out of me!”
Qin Zheng felt confident in his speculations now. He raised his hand, checked his watch, and said, “I don’t want to waste my time talking to you. Just think about it.”
He did not linger and turned to walk out of the office leaving Huo Yao behind.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes profoundly.
The moment Qin Zheng stepped out of the office, a solemn look emerged on his face.
Before long, he took the lift and went downstairs. When he got to the conference room, he could see his a.s.sistant standing outside the door.
The a.s.sistant greeted Qin Zheng and noticed that Qin Zheng did not look happy, so he asked cautiously. “Did something happen?”
Qin Zheng held his phone and pondered. He suddenly raised his head to look at his a.s.sistant. “I need you to do something for me immediately.”
