Chapter 526 Truth
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
It would be fifteen minutes before Huo Zhanpeng met Yi Yunrui, and Huo Zhanpeng changed his mind when he came back to Tianyu Entertainment Company.
Yi Yunrui was Xia Ning’s husband, so he would be definitely on her side. Huo Zhanpeng knew exactly that he didn’t get on well with Xia Ning. Therefore, Yi Yunrui’s presence did not go well for him.
No, if something happened to him, the public focus would be switched to Xia Ning. Neither Xia Ning nor Yi Yunrui would not do anything so stupid.
He had to be well prepared though it seemed impossible outwardly.
Therefore, Huo Zhanpeng took several bodyguards with him. In addition, he also made some back-up plans.
Twenty minutes later, Huo Zhanpeng came out of the Tianyu Entertainment Company.
To his surprise, there was no car waiting at the gate of the company.
Huo Zhanpeng was burning with anxiety. Would it be a trick? If so, that would be boring.
Right at the time, Huo Zhanpeng received an unfamiliar phone call.
“Mr. Huo, this is Zhang. Mr. Yi is my boss. Please go three hundred meters forward, and you will see a black Audi. You will be brought to Mr. Yi by me.”
After Zhang Hai finished talking, the phone was hung up before Huo Zhanpeng answered.
There was an unlicensed black Audi parked on a small street three hundred meters away from Tianyu Entertainment Company.
Huo Zhanpeng came with three bodyguards. And then a man with a good temperament stepped out of the car and said, “Mr. Huo, I was the one who called you just now. Get in.”
“Where is Yi Yunrui?”
Hearing about that, Zhang Hai’s tongue changed slightly and he said with a cold tone, “Just wait and see.”
After that, Zhang Hai returned to the driver’s seat and didn’t say anything more to Huo Zhanpeng.
“Opps.” Huo Zhanpeng was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Hai’s attitude, but now he had to give in due to his unfavorable complexion.
Murmuring for a few words, Huo Zhanpeng got into the car with three bodyguards.
Zhang Hai glanced at the four in the back seat with disgust and contempt.
What a big spot Yi Yunrui was. It was lucky for Huo Zhanpeng to be invited.
Had it not been on the street and Zhang Hai was now performing the mission by Yi Yunrui, Huo Zhanpeng would be beaten to death
Zhang Hai’s words were filled with a sense of inhospitality. Huo Zhanpeng was still simmering with resentment, but he knew clearly that Zhang Hai was loyal to Yi Yunrui.
Down the street for a while, they went into a small bystreet and stopped at one of the alleys.
“Get off.” Zhang Hai said in disdain, “Follow me.”
Huo Zhanpeng was after Zhang Hai, wondering where he was. He had been in C City for long, but it was the first time he came here.
It was a remote alley indeed.
Zhang Hai walked to a partly opened door and knocked a few times. It was not long before a man in a uniform of a coffee shop came out.
Huo Zhanpeng eyed him over. He was good-looking. The uniform was a bit out of fashion, but it was made of well-selected materials.
They went inside and the words ‘WAITTING FOR YOU’ were quite striking on the wall of the coffee shop.
Coffee shop?
The doubts in Huo Zhanpeng’s heart were confirmed at the next moment.
That was right. It was a European-style and ancestral coffee shop.
There were not many people in it and it was quiet inside. Judging from the words and deeds, Huo Zhanpeng found that none of those seated were ordinary.
Huo Zhanpeng was taken aback by this discovery.
Was this just a coffee shop?
“Hi, Mr. Huo.”
As Huo Zhanpeng was in a daze, another man in the uniform of the coffee shop came over. He looked young and handsome, his smiling being quite soft.
Huo Zhanpeng nodded. Obviously, he was a waiter, but the temperament he possessed was unique.
The waiter greeted Huo Zhanpeng and said, “Mr. Yi is inside waiting for you.”
In a small chamber of the coffee shop, Huo Zhanpeng finally met Yi Yunrui.
Yi Yunrui, with a white casual T-shirt, was having a cup of coffee. Seeing that Huo Zhanpeng arrived, Yi Yunrui greeted him, “Please be seated, Mr. Huo.”
Huo Zhanpeng sat down on the small round stool on the other side, together with the three bodyguards who came with him.
Though there were few rooms in the coffee shop, the layout was perfect. On the left wall were some books.
Soon, the waiter brought coffee and put it in front of Huo Zhanpeng.
“I’m not sure what kind of coffee you would like so I ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for you. Just hope you will like it.”
Huo Zhanpeng raised his eyebrow. He liked the bitter coffee and Blue Mountain was to his taste. So, he took a sip.
The fragrance and the bitter taste slid into his throat, and Huo Zhanpeng’s eyes lit up. The taste of this coffee… It was the most authentic he’d ever had.
Huo Zhanpeng was a self-disciplined person. For life, he liked to enjoy high-end products, high-quality coffee in particular. But the coffee in his hand could rank second to none.
To his surprise, the authentic coffee was from here. But why was the place little known?
“Mr. Huo, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What’s up?”
“It might be a bit difficult for you. But if you do as what I tell, you will suffer less.”
Huo Zhanpeng thought it over and said, “Mr. Yi, Is that a threat?”
“No.” Yi Yunrui watched him and said, “For you, there is no need to pose a threat. Mr. Huo, you have no other choices.”
Hearing about that, Huo Zhanpeng appeared to be upset and said, “Just get straight to the point, and no dumber shows.”
Zhang Hai, who was beside him, couldn’t help crying out, “Huo Zhanpeng, what the h*ll you got an attitude about?”
Zhang Hai rose to his feet. The three bodyguards stood up and glared at Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai said in disdain, “You’re gonna bite off more than you can chew.”
Yi Yunrui took a sip of coffee and said, “I believe much preparation work has been done before you are here.”
Huo Zhanpeng said with contempt, “Sure. Don’t try any tricks.”
Yi Yunrui was indeed handsome. But Huo Zhanpeng was not buying it just due to Yi Yunrui’s appearance and some menacing remarks.
For Huo Zhanpeng, Yi Yunrui was too naive.
Seeing that Zhang Hai was about to take actions, Yi Yunrui said, “Zhang Hai, why are you so impulsive?”
Zhang Hai was shocked after hearing about it and said, “Yes, boss. I’ll do a thorough review myself.”
Zhang Hai returned to his seat after that.
The three bodyguards on the opposite side looked at each other, not knowing what happened to Zhang Hai.
Huo Zhanpeng thought it really funny. Were they joining in the fun on occasion? In Huo Zhanpeng’s eyes, their acting skills were bad.
“Mr. Yi, just get to the point. Why did you have to frighten a child?”
Zhang Hai, who was in silence, became mad after hearing about what Huo Zhanpeng said. He rose to his feet at once. Getting a glimpse of Yi Yunrui, he was seated again.
“Ha-ha.” Huo Zhanpeng burst into laughter.
These two men were weird.
Yi Yunrui kept silent, having his coffee, and then he pushed his mobile phone towards Huo Zhanpeng and said, “Here’s what I want to show you, Mr. Huo. I believe you will be content with that.”
Catching a glimpse of Yi Yunrui, Huo Zhanpeng frowned, took up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
Hearing this recording, Huo Zhanpeng suddenly froze on the spot and his face turned pale.
Yi Yunrui put down the coffee and said, “Mr. Huo, don’t you think it’s funny?”
Huo Zhanpeng watched Yi Yunrui in amazement. How did he get the recording?
He remembered that it was done in secret.
Staring at Huo Zhanpeng, Yi Yunrui said slowly, “What is done by night appears by day. Mr. Huo, am I qualified enough to have a negotiation with you face to face?”
Huo Zhanpeng shivered and came to himself after a while. This time, he couldn’t laugh again and said to Yi Yunrui, “Mr. Yi, what do you really want to get done?”
“Listen to me. Three demands.” Yi Yunrui said word by word, “First, a press conference has to be held to tell the public that He Yuan’s affair was a hype by Tianyu.”
These words were like thunderbolts on a sunny day and Huo Zhanpeng’s forehead was sweating.
If he admitted it was indeed a hype, he was bound to bear much pressure from the public. It was likely that the stock market of Tianyu Entertainment Company would fall.
But the recording also cut right to the heart of him. If the recording were to be exposed, the results would be unimaginable.
Huo Zhanpeng thought he was careful enough that night. Unfortunately, Yi Yunrui got the goods on him.
“No, it’s not the case. If it was a hype, what can He Yuan’s face be accounted for?” Huo Zhanpeng thought.
“Second, you have to tell the public that He Yuan’s face was ruined by Li. The reason why you said it was that you had a grudge against my wife.”
Hearing about that, Huo Zhanpeng rose to his feet again and said, “That’s impossible. If I did as you told me, that would almost amount to the exposure of the recording. It’s unfair.”
If so, there was no need for him to negotiate with Yi Yunrui.
Ignoring Huo Zhanpeng’s attitude, Yi Yunrui continued, “It’s acknowledged that it’s leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. You are supposed to take the responsibility. If the recording were exposed to the public by me, it would be a crime. This is where the difference lies.”
According to this demand, Yi Yunrui forced him to drag Li into it.
He would not let go whoever dared to take a shot at his wife.
“…” Huo Zhanpeng glared at Yi Yunrui without saying anything.
“Third, Tianyu Entertainment Company should be transferred. As for the specifics, I will tell you later.”
Hearing this, Huo Zhanpeng came to know everything and said, “So what you want is actually Tianyu Entertainment Company. I will not give in even if the recording is exposed to the public. I’d rather stay in jail for a few years than do what you want me to do.”
