92 Interrogation Under Searchlights

Yu Hao's shirt was soaked with his sweat. He had not expected to be taken away by these big guys.

Looking at the situation, unless he gave them a satisfactory answer, he might not live to see the sun rise tomorrow morning! Fortunately, these people came here only for money. Yu Hao, who grew up in a poor family, always believed that there was no problem that money could not solve.

"Who are you, and where are you going to take me?" The blindfolded Yu Hao instinctively asked as the big guys pushed him into a room. He had demanded an answer, even though he clearly knew that no one would answer him.

"Wow!" Through the blindfold, Yu Hao could sense that there was a strong light shining on his face.

At first, this made him suspect that it was already dawn and what he was sensing was sunlight. However, when he calmed down, he found that the light was flickering, which made him realize that there were actually searchlights hanging over his head!

This fact revealed that this room was used for detention and interrogation purposes. As he came to this realization, Yu Hao's heart sank.

At that moment, the door was pushed open and footsteps could be heard entering the room. At that moment, everyone in the room seemed to be holding their breath. Yu Hao guessed that this person who had just entered must be the leader of this group of people, all of whom were dressed in black.

"Big Brother, I was wrong. After Qi Yang Entertainment signed a popular celebrity to its roster, I thought that the more I invested in the company, the more interest I would earn for you. I never would have thought that the company would be so unreliable!" Yu Hao, who was still blindfolded, addressed the unknown leader.

Although Yu Hao did not know who the leader was, he figured that he could not go wrong in addressing him as "Big Brother." Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the leader paused, seeming to analyze the pros and cons of what Yu Hao had just said.

Yu Hao hastily took this opportunity to adopt the role of flatterer and sweet talker as he said to the leader, "Big Brother, besides the unreliable company, Qi Yang Entertainment, I have many other projects worthy of your investment. I know I've caused you some trouble, so I'll write you a blank check the minute I am freed. Then, you can write in any amount you wish."

When he heard the leader snort in contempt, Yu Hao hurriedly added, "Of course, you already know that I am no longer worth a lot of money, so please don't fill in an absurd amount..."

In the end, even Yu Hao was ashamed of himself. So, he understood if the leader looked down upon him.

When he still hadn't gotten a solid reply, Yu Hao got a bad feeling. He knew that he had to retract his words immediately. Otherwise, the leader would be angry, and he might punish Yu Hao on the spot!

"How do I say this? Though I may not have much money left, I'm going to get married to the daughter of the owner of the Hairui Fashion empire. So, as soon as I'm married, Hairui's owner, An Shijie, will become my father-in-law. That means that his money will basically be my money." Yu Hao rambled on for a long time, but the other party still did not respond.

Finally, when he mentioned Hairui, he suddenly heard the man move. Since the other party appeared interested in either Hairui or An Shijie, Yu Hao took this cue and went on to talk about the two. After all, as long as it could save his life, Yu Hao would do anything!

"Big Brother, I think you've already heard about Hairui's ready-made clothes. This company developed at a normal during its early days, but in recent years, it has become a well-known enterprise within the city, and it has even formed a partnership with the Leng Group! Also, my fiancee is not only the daughter of the owner of Hairui, but she is also the Leng Group's HR manager!"

He paused to take a short breath, then continued, "You must know how hard it is to get into the Leng Group, and for her to become a manager, it shows that she can easily prosper in another company too! So, if you let me go, you will not have to worry about not receiving any money in the future."

Yu Hao had talked so much that he had basically reported his whole family history and current family situation to this unknown leader. If it were not for the occasional rustling noise from the movement of the other party, Yu Hao would have possibly suspected that he was just talking to himself in that room!

A while later, when Yu Hao had nothing more to say, the person sitting opposite him slowly opened his mouth and said, "I had heard that An Shijie's daughter just came back recently. I also heard that she did not come back alone, but with a little girl. I'm surprised that you could get her to marry you so soon! Did you know her before?"

Yu Hao could tell from the man's voice that he was about his same age. Strangely, maybe because Yu Hao was tied up, he felt that this man sounded quite overbearing.

Moreover, just a few hours ago, Yu Hao had hurt his beloved woman. At that time, Leng Yuchen was in a meeting. When Sheng Jie rushed in to tell him, he had already swung into action.

Leng Yuchen did not know how he could resist rushing over to disable the arm that Yu Hao had used to hurt An Qi. However, at this moment, it was highly possible that he could dislocate both Yu Hao's legs on the spot!

As Yu Hao listened to the man's words, he thought in his heart that this man seemed to know a lot about the An family. Thus, he dared not tell him more lies, but could only tell him the truth.

"You must be referring to An Qi, An Shijie's biological daughter. I'm going to marry Gu Xiaonan, his step-daughter." Yu Hao explained.

Hiss…

Leng Yuchen pretended to make a noise of discontent. The reason why he did not use a knife on Yu Hao was that he wanted to know how much he knew about Gu Xiaonan's trickery.

If An Qi stayed by Leng Yuchen's side, he was absolutely sure that he could protect her. However, as the saying goes, "It is easy to dodge a spear when it is thrust out in the open, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow that is shot from a hiding place," and he did not wish all that happened today to repeat itself again. Thus, without revealing his identity, Leng Yuchen wanted to make Yu Hao understand his point.

What he did not expect was that Yu Hao must have gotten into some mess. Otherwise, Yu Hao would not have mistaken him as a debt collector. It seemed that Yu Hao had not only lost An Qi, but was also not very good at handling his business affairs!

Leng Yuchen felt like he could sum it up with an old saying, which he was thinking of right now... All that you want to achieve can't be done, and all that you want to eat is not available!

However, in the process of communicating with Yu Hao, Leng Yuchen noticed that Yu Hao was quite eloquent. Thus, An Qi must have been deceived by his eloquence.

But, Leng Yuchen's snort of contempt had bothered Yu Hao. He knew that, at least from an outsider's point of view, a daughter from a previous marriage would not be that valuable.

This made him immediately wonder… How much inheritance will An Shijie leave to Gu Xiaonan?

Thinking of these things made Yu Hao want to defend himself and his points even more. After all, theoretically, just like Gu Xiaonan, he had always been regarded as being a child from a previous marriage…
