My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 224 The truth comes to light

Qiao Qin shook her head weakly, a few strands of hair fell from her ears, and her bright eyes were now filled with fatigue and confusion.

When she spoke slowly, her voice was a little hoarse: "I was wondering why Xingchen Design targeted my studio. I shouldn't have offended them."

The light from above shone on her, reflecting her slightly haggard face. This studio has always been her hard work. From the initial site selection to every detail of the decoration, Qiao Qin did it all herself and managed it carefully. Watching one exquisite design after another being born here was like protecting her own children. She never thought that she would suffer such a disaster.

Huo Yan's eyes were slightly deep, like a quiet lake that contained endless power. He looked at Qiao Qin with heartache, his eyes full of pity, and gently held her hand, the warm touch transmitted from his palm.

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to go abroad to inquire about the company. I'll tell you as soon as I get the result."

As Qiao Qin listened to Huo Yan's firm words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She slowly leaned into Huo Yan's arms, feeling his heartbeat and warmth, her voice soft and full of dependence.

"Nice to have you."

Just then, the phone rang, and the crisp ringtone seemed particularly abrupt in the silent studio.

After Huo Yan took out his phone, Assistant Yan's anxious voice came: "Boss Huo, we have found out that the person in charge of Xingchen Design Company is named Yan."

After the words fell, Huo Yan and Qiao Qin looked at each other and instantly thought of Yan Xuexue. Could it be that she was really behind this?

After a while, Huo Yan and Qiao Qin decided to drive to the police station.

The car was speeding along the city streets. Outside the car window, the sky was gloomy, as if a huge gray curtain was covering the earth.

The trees on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, and the withered yellow leaves fell one after another. A drizzle began to fall halfway through the road. The raindrops hit the car windows, making a slight "tick-tick" sound, blurring the world outside the window.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Qiao Qin pursed her lips tightly, her eyes revealing confusion and anger.

Huo Yan was driving intently, his profile looking particularly stern under the light from inside the car.

Soon, they reached their destination.

In the interrogation room, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost hard to breathe.

Huo Yan stood tall and straight, like a sturdy pine tree. His eyes were stern as he stared at Li Qingliang. Qiao Qin stood aside, his face pale, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.

"Has this person ever come to you to make a deal?" Huo Yan held up Yan Xuexue's photo in front of Li Qingliang, his voice low and powerful.

Li Qingliang's gaze lingered on the photo for a moment, then he nodded slowly.

"Yes, it's her."

"Why did she do this?" Qiao Qin's voice trembled slightly, her eyes full of doubt and confusion. She didn't understand how she had offended Yan Xuexue to make her do this so cruelly.

Li Qingliang swallowed, his face turned pale, his eyes were wandering, as if he was lost in painful memories.

"I had just got off work that day when I met a stylish and elegant woman at the company gate. She looked at me with a hint of contempt and threat in her eyes, saying that she knew my position in the studio and had the opportunity to access the contact information of important clients, and then..."

Li Qingliang suddenly stopped, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Qiao Qin guiltily, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Then... she took out a large stack of bills from her bag, put it in front of me, and said that as long as I sold those contact information to Xingchen Design, the money would be mine, and there would be more in return. She also said that everything had been arranged, and as long as I did what she said, no one would find out.

I knew it was wrong, but the temptation of the money was too great, and I agreed to it."

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the silence was depressing.

Qiao Qin bit her lip tightly, trying her best to suppress her inner anger. She slammed the table and asked, "Are you so easily bribed? Do you know how much loss your behavior will bring to the studio?"

Li Qingliang hung his head at this time, and his whole body looked listless like an eggplant hit by frost.

His hands were twisted together nervously, trembling slightly, his face was full of guilt, and his eyes were full of regret and pain.

"I know I was wrong and I regret it. I was blinded by the benefits and didn't consider the consequences at all. I naively thought that no one would find out, but I didn't expect..."

Li Qingliang slowly raised his head, his eyes flickered and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Huo Yan frowned slightly, his facial lines were tense, as stern as a sculpture, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he interrupted, "What you think is just your wishful thinking. Your behavior is already a serious violation of the law. Now you must fully cooperate with us and explain the whole thing in detail."

When Li Qingliang heard this, his body trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted. He nodded in panic with a look of fear on his face.

"Okay, I will cooperate. After Yan Xuexue came to me, she gave me a contact number and asked me to hand over the design draft to that person. I was bewitched and did it according to her requirements, and then waited for the money with great anticipation. But I never expected that things would develop to this point." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Qiao Qin and Huo Yan from time to time, as if observing their reactions.

Qiao Qin frowned and continued to ask: "Did she say why she was targeting my studio?"

Li Qingliang hesitated for a moment, a trace of confusion in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again, and then said: "She seemed to say that you robbed her things, and she wants you to pay the price. I don't know what it is."

Qiao Qin's expression became colder and colder, and she sneered, "I stole her things? That's ridiculous."

Huo Yan held Qiao Qin's hand tightly, giving her strength and support. Then, he looked at Li Qingliang, with a sharp look in his eyes, as if it could penetrate deep into Li Qingliang's heart.

"Do you have anything else to say? If you can provide more clues, your punishment may be reduced."

Li Qingliang thought for a while, his brows knitted, trying to recall, and said in a deep voice: "I remember now, Yan Xuexue also asked me to encourage my colleagues to switch to Xingchen Design. She could offer double or even triple the salary, but I didn't do that."

Qiao Qin was so angry that her teeth were chattering, as if she wanted to bite Yan Xuexue to pieces, and her voice was full of anger and determination.

"This woman is really too much!"

Huo Yan nodded, his eyes firm and cold, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will make her pay the price."

He held Qiao Qin's hand tightly, and the warm and strong palm made Qiao Qin feel a little comforted.

Qiao Qin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Now was not the time to be angry and sad. She had to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, the studio might be in crisis again at any time. With one Li Qingliang, there would be a second and a third. After all, human nature could not stand the test.

"What should we do now?" Qiao Qin's voice was full of worry.

Huo Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Let's collect evidence first, and then sue Xingchen Design and Yan Xuexue. I will let my legal team go all out and make sure they get the punishment they deserve."

As we all know, the Huo Group has the best legal team and resources in the country.

Qiao Qin raised her head and looked at Huo Yan, her eyes full of gratitude and her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Huo Yan gently patted Qiao Qin's hand and said softly: "There is no need to thank each other between husband and wife. This is what I should do. I won't let anyone hurt you."

His eyes were full of tenderness and determination. He gently took Qiao Qin into his arms and reached out to help her tuck the loose hair behind her ears.
