The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1138 - 1107

After leaving Huashan, he hurried to report to Huo Yingjie. With such tight surveillance, the old woman could escape, she must have been exceptional.

Huo Yingjie, after hearing the report from Huashan, frowned slightly and calculated, then smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll personally capture that Grandma Ma."

Because on the day of the match, Huo Yingjie felt something odd about Grandma Ma and left a trace of his spirit on her. Unless the old woman died, that mark would remain, and Huo Yingjie would be able to find her.

"Don’t worry," Huo Yingjie said, as long as she had left, there would be no immediate danger to He Tiantian.

The man with the sulfuric acid was still in critical care, and he intended to personally ask him who had instructed him to do so.

It was also from this that Huo Yingjie realized there were two groups of people wanting to deal with He Tiantian.

From Xu Weiwei’s side, it was because of the Zhou Family’s reason, and that had already been clarified, so that wouldn’t be hard to deal with; however, for the other group, there was still no news, which made Huo Yingjie uneasy.

That’s why he left Huashan and Cui Ying mainly in charge of this matter.

If the competition were over and He Tiantian returned to her country immediately, Huo Yingjie might not be so worried, but she had to attend a charity gala tomorrow night and couldn’t be absent. The day after tomorrow, there was also an international premiere.

This had all been agreed upon beforehand.

"Grandma Ma, Xu Weiwei has already left Xiangjiang," Huo Yingjie said. "She won’t harm Tiantian for now, and since I’ve been tracking Grandma Ma, finding her is only a matter of time. Right now, we need to investigate the one carrying the sulfuric acid."

Huashan also received some information from Cui Ying.

"Was it Zhao Gang’s doing?" Huashan asked, referring to their other investigation target, the gang leader.

Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "The people I sent to trail him haven’t detected any unusual activity from Zhao Gang yet, so we can’t be sure who it is yet. Let’s go to the hospital together now; as long as that man doesn’t die, we must extract the truth from him."

"Yes," Huashan said, following Huo Yingjie to the hospital.

At the hospital, Huo Yingjie and Huashan obtained information about the short man.

This man was named Xia Sanqiang, indeed a janitor at the gym, with a somewhat virtuous wife and two daughters at home. His work was decent, but he loved gambling; whenever he had a bit of money, he would bet on horse races or go to Macau, not returning until he’d lost everything, even taking out high-interest loans.

Xia Sanqiang then had a debt of one hundred thousand yuan of high-interest loans on him.

Whether he was coerced by the loan sharks to do this or if there was someone else behind it still needed to be questioned.

At the hospital, Xia Sanqiang had been resuscitated and was in the intensive care unit, his wife and daughters washing their faces with tears outside.

Seeing this, Huashan cursed inwardly, disgusted by a man who had such a wonderful family yet only cared about gambling and accumulated a huge debt.

In Xiangjiang, the consequences of not being able to repay a high-interest loan were terrifying.

First was mortgaging all your assets, and if that still wasn’t enough, then letting your wife and daughters work as prostitutes to earn money quickly.

Because of high-interest loans, many women had embarked on a life of degradation, ruining their lives.

Although Huo Yingjie also sympathized with the mother and daughters, he wouldn’t go out of his way to help this man who might have intended to throw sulfuric acid on his wife.

The nurses had persuaded the mother and daughters to leave. Now, in the intensive care unit, they couldn’t enter, which would otherwise disrupt the hospital’s order.

The mother and daughter could only stay away, visiting occasionally.

"Huashan, keep an eye on those three women, I’ll make a trip," Huo Yingjie said. He didn’t have time to wait for Xia Sanqiang to wake up and had to use a secret medicine.

After Huo Yingjie entered, he gave Xia Sanqiang a pill of the secret medicine.

A minute later, Xia Sanqiang slowly opened his eyes, looking confusedly at the white ceiling.

"Where is this?" Xia Sanqiang asked groggily, his eyes wandering, and a stranger stood beside him, "And who are you?"

Huo Yingjie sneered and asked, "Who instructed you to bring in the sulfuric acid, and who were you going to splatter it on?"

Xia Sanqiang was startled, soon remembering the events before his suicide attempt. The pain in his body told him that he was neither dreaming nor dead. He said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

"Don’t know?" Huo Yingjie sneered, "You borrowed high-interest loans, and those people threatened your family. They can do it, and so can I. If you don’t talk, your wife and daughter won’t end well. For your daughter, who’s only sixteen, that would be such a tragic life."

Although Huo Yingjie wouldn’t really do that, at this moment, to get the information, he had to scare Xia Sanqiang.

Some people don’t see the coffin until they shed tears.

Hearing this, Xia Sanqiang faltered with a hint of hesitation.

"You don’t believe me? Otherwise, right now, I’ll strip your daughter nude and throw her onto the street," Huo Yingjie threatened, his gaze sharp.

Listening to this, and considering this person could get in, Xia Sanqiang figured he must be very capable.

"Please, don’t hurt my wife and daughter, they are innocent, it’s all my gambling, dragging them down," Xia Sanqiang pleaded, "Don’t harm them."

Although Xia Sanqiang was a scoundrel, he wasn’t rotten to the core.

"Ha, our boss said, if the information you provide is useful, he will give you some money to properly set up your family. If not, not only will you get no money..." Huo Yingjie said coldly, this time he must find the mastermind.

He couldn’t let Xia Sanqiang’s stubborn resistance spoil everything.

Xia Sanqiang knew he couldn’t do anything now but to spill everything, "A man named Ah Bin found me, said he could help me pay off the high-interest loans as long as I followed his instructions to throw sulfuric acid on an athlete named He Tiantian."

Hearing the name "He Tiantian," Huo Yingjie knew their investigation was on the right track.

"What does this Ah Bin look like?" Huo Yingjie asked, "What’s his background?"

Xia Sanqiang thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know, but every time I saw Ah Bin, he was alone. Quite young, a handsome guy."

"Do you have a photo?" Huo Yingjie asked. Simple descriptions alone couldn’t identify anyone.

After all, during the competitions, every match was packed.

"I don’t have a photo," Xia Sanqiang said. "In doing such things, everyone is very cautious, and being a minor player, they certainly wouldn’t let me take photos."

"Think again, any other useful information?" Huo Yingjie asked, "You said you followed Ah Bin’s instructions, were they onsite instructions?"

"Yes, onsite instructions," Xia Sanqiang said, "The first day was in row 13 of Area D, second seat on the left; the second day in row 12 of Area E, first seat on the right; the third day in row one of Area C, third seat on the left. Those three days, Ah Bin was sitting in these seats. That’s all I really know."
