Chapter 889: 889
He Hongyuan and Fan Zhihao seperated once they left the casino . Fan Zhihao felt utterly embarrassed today, and he lost a fortune .
“Dad, what should we do now?” He Yixi felt helpless .
He Hongyuan seemed displeased and remained silent, because he didn’t know what to do now either .
An idea dawned on He Yixi . “Dad, why don’t we use He Siyang to threaten Uncle Hongjie?”
Hearing that, He Hongyuan was mad . “I wish I could! He Siyang escaped yesterday, and he’s nowhere to be found now . ”
“What? He escaped? How is it possible?” He Yixi panicked .
If He Siyang escaped, they had no bargaining chip left to negotiate with the He family .
After what they had done behind the He family’s back, it was impossible that the He family would let them get away with it .
“Although he escaped, he must still be on the island . We have to catch him as soon as possible,” He Hongyuan said .
The island was very far from the mainland . No matter how excellent a person was at swimming, he couldn’t leave this island . Therefore, even though He Siyang escaped from the place where he was kept, he was still trapped on this island .
The problem was that it was very difficult to find a person on this large island if the person hid well . He Hongyuan couldn’t send more people there, because he knew that the He family was keeping a close eye on him . The moment he did something, the He family would find out . Once the He family found He Siyang, his good days would be over .
…
Zuo Jiangkui stayed in the casino with He Yishao .
When the others were all gone, He Yishao told Zuo Jiangkui to come have a talk in his office, then let the bodyguards catch him without delay .
Zuo Jiangkui was surprised . He figured out why He Yishao suddenly caught him, but he still played dumb before the dirty secret was fully exposed . “Yishao, what are you doing?”
Zuo Jiangkui was He Hongjie’s first apprentice, and he had followed He Hongjie for over a dozen years . He Hongjie always treated him like he was his own son, so he was very close to the offspring in the He family . He could directly call their names, instead of addressing them as lady or lord .
“Zuo Jiangkui, I don’t think my family has treated you badly . ” He Yishao stared straight at Zuo Jiangkui .
“Of course not,” Zuo Jiangkui said .
“Then why did you still betray us?” He Yishao became angry all of a sudden and raised his voice, questioning Zuo Jiangkui .
The He family had never treated Zuo Jiangkui badly . Why did he betray the He family once the He family encountered a minor problem? Other apprentices, however, still sided with the He family .
A touch of guilt flashed in Zuo Jiangkui’s eyes, but he refused to admit it . “Why do you say that?” He still hoped that He Yishao didn’t have solid proof so that he could be safe .
“Well . ” He Yishao understood what Zuo Jiangkui was thinking now . He sneered, then took out a pile of photos from a drawer . “Why don’t you have a look for yourself?”
When Zuo Jiangkui saw the pile of photos, he got nervous in an instant . Those were photos of his secret meetings with Hong Yuefei and He Hongyuan .
“What else do you want to explain?” He Yishao asked . In fact, he already had the answer from Zuo Jiangkui’s expression .
Zuo Jiangkui remained silent for a while, but still tried to deny it .
He argued, “You can’t accuse me of betraying the He family just because of some photos . I did meet them, but they came to me first . They tried to bribe me to help them, but I turned them down!”
“Why didn’t you tell us that they found you if you really turned them down?” He Yishao asked . He didn’t believe a single word Zuo Jiangkui told him .
If Zuo Jiangkui was really loyal to the He family, he should have told them that Hong Yuefei and He Hongyuan had tried to bribe him . If he kept it a secret, then he must be doing something that he didn’t want the He family to know .
“I-I just didn’t want to cause misunderstandings . ” Zuo Jiangkui panicked again .
“Oh, interesting . Weren’t you afraid that we would find out someday?” He Yishao sneered .
“I know that you don’t trust me now, but I’ve done nothing that hurt the He family’s benefits,” Zuo Jiangkui said .
It was the truth . Even though Zuo Jiangkui betrayed the He family, he hadn’t hurt the He family’s benefits, yet .
“Zuo Jiangkui, since you want to cooperate with He Hongyuan, you must know where Siyang is now . As long as you can tell me, we can let you leave if Siyang is safe and sound when we find him,” He Yishao said .
The He family would punish him without doubt, but his life would be saved .
“I have no idea,” Zuo Jiangkui said .
“Are you sure?” He Yishao asked . He obviously didn’t believe it . “Zuo Jiangkui, struggling is useless now . We all know what you’ve done behind our backs . ”
Zuo Jiangkui didn’t say a word, but hesitated . He knew how powerful the He family was .
After hesitating for a while, Zuo Jiangkui opened his mouth again . “I only know that He Siyang is still on the island, but I don’t know his specific location . ”
“He’s still on the island?” He Yishao frowned with doubt . They had searched everywhere on the island for He Siyang before, but found nothing . Maybe they should search there more carefully again .
“Are you sure?” He Yishao fixed his eyes on Zuo Jiangkui .
