Chapter 452: The Arrow Has to Be Shot

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Hong’s words nailed Huo Xiuyuan to the pillar of shame.

Compared to Huo Yichen, he was inferior in every aspect.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious, but he didn’t dare to show it. However, his indignation was affected by Huo Hong’s words again, and he was extremely frustrated.

“So you’re planning to let Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao get engaged?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Perhaps it was Huo Yichen’s threat, or perhaps it was because Huo Hong’s hair was turning white, but Huo Xiuyuan asked without thinking.

Huo Hong slammed the fountain pen in his hand on the table. “This is not something you need to know.”

He did not answer directly, but when Huo Xiuyuan saw Huo Hong’s reaction, he already knew the answer he wanted to ask.

In Huo Hong’s heart, Huo Xiuyuan was naturally incomparable to Huo Yichen. After all, Huo Yichen had his blood flowing in his veins. No matter how outstanding Huo Xiuyuan’s efforts were, no matter how hard he tried to please him, his ident.i.ty was just an outsider.

In the end, unless he had no choice, how could Huo Hong allow his life’s work to fall into the hands of an outsider? That was even worse than killing him.

Huo Hong knocked on the table as a warning. “That doesn’t sound like something you’d ask.”

The two knocks were neither light nor heavy, causing Huo Xiuyuan’s rising emotions to suddenly clear up. It also made him realize what he had just said. “Moreover, Huo Yichen is indeed more capable than you. There’s no doubt about it.” Huo Hong spoke the truth.

Even if Huo Yichen was an ingrate, Huo Hong couldn’t ignore his extremely powerful ability.

Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen had different strengths and weaknesses. Huo Hong was also happy to create a sense of danger for the two of them. However as the outcome approached, Huo Hong’s thoughts couldn’t help but lean towards Huo Yichen.

Humans always had an indescribable feeling about bloodlines.

Huo Xiuyuan remained silent before turning to leave.

Huo Hong’s words seemed to have lit a fire in his heart. It burned with the darkness that had been hidden in the depths of his heart all these years. Once it burned, it could no longer be extinguished.

If Huo Hong really wanted to make such a decision… Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth. He would rather take the risk of killing Huo Yichen at home.

This way, he would be the only heir left.

Looking at Huo Xiuyuan’s back as he disappeared behind the door, Huo Hong’s vision suddenly blurred for a moment. He couldn’t help but think of his biological son, Huo Yuan.

His most beloved son.

Perhaps he was not capable enough and didn’t even know how to scheme for benefits, but he was indeed Huo Hong’s favorite son.

Perhaps people would always be sentimental when they were old, let alone when they were infighting for a long time. Huo Hong couldn’t help but recall the time when the other party was still around.

Huo Hong, who had always dominated the business world, also had a weakness. He would also recall the past when he missed his deceased son. This emotion was like maggots in his bones that couldn’t be removed.

Huo Hong’s longing was not known to Huo Xiuyuan. After he left the office he went to Li s.h.i.+ angrily.

“This is our report for this quarter, as well as the cooperation plans of the other two—”

Ignoring the fact that someone was still reporting inside, Huo Xiuyuan pushed the door open and entered. When he met Li s.h.i.+’s surprised gaze, he tugged at his tie impatiently and sat on the soft sofa beside him.

The secretary stopped talking awkwardly. He looked at this uninvited guest and then at Li s.h.i.+. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should continue.

“You can leave first.” Li s.h.i.+ waved his hand.

Li s.h.i.+ did not expect Huo Xiuyuan’s sudden visit.

Seeing this, the secretary could only leave tactfully and close the door considerately.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Li s.h.i.+ confirmed that the secretary had gone far enough before speaking.

“You’re crazy! This is the company!” He cursed impatiently.

It was true that they were working together in secret, but they had always pretended not to be harmonious on the surface to avoid being suspected by Huo Hong.

He didn’t know what was wrong with Huo Xiuyuan’s brain today, but he actually barged in.

Huo Xiuyuan sneered. “He’s already so old. If he knows, he knows. At most, he can die from the medicine.”

“Huo Hong wants Murong Qiao to get engaged to Huo Yichen,” Huo Xiuyuan said.

No matter how proud he was, when he mentioned this matter, he couldn’t help but be annoyed that he hadn’t controlled his emotions at that time and said this matter out loud.

He was happy to see Huo Yichen under house arrest, but now, it had caused even more trouble for himself.

He couldn’t kill him, but did he have to watch helplessly as Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao got engaged?

At the thought that if the two of them got together so openly, Huo Xiuyuan wanted to curse his impulsive self to death.

However, it was too late to say anything now. What was done was done.

“Is the news confirmed?” Li s.h.i.+ also became serious.

At the mention of such a big matter, Li s.h.i.+ didn’t have the time to be angry with Huo Xiuyuan.

The matter of “silencing” Huo Yichen had yet to be resolved. If the Murong Family was involved again, it would be even more difficult for them to take action.

Huo Xiuyuan rolled his eyes angrily. “Of course!”

I just came back from Huo Hong’s side. He didn’t deny it.”

Li s.h.i.+ naturally understood Huo Hong and knew what he meant.

If Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were confirmed to be together, there was a high chance that the indecisive people in the company would also side with Huo Yichen. With Shengjing Group as the backline, Huo Yichen’s ident.i.ty as the heir would be secured.

“This cannot happen.” Huo Xiuyuan suddenly stood up.

If that happened, the situation would be set in stone. He would be crushed to death by Huo Yichen even if he wanted to fight back.

Li s.h.i.+ was worried about something else. “Don’t forget that he still has our evidence.”

The matter of Huo Yu had always been a sore point for Huo Hong. Rotten flesh grew in his heart and was dug out to be reborn. No matter how hard he dug it couldn’t be healed.

“Then are you more afraid that Huo Hong will kill us when he finds out, or that

Huo Yichen will kill us in the future?” Huo Xiuyuan sneered.

He had the feeling of having a vicious cycle. His mentality was also impetuous, and he even vaguely showed signs of infecting Li s.h.i.+.

This question made Li s.h.i.+ silent, not knowing how to answer.

To them, Huo Yichen was an unstable factor. Sooner or later, he would explode. The earlier they attacked, the higher the chance of success. On the contrary, if they delayed for too long, once Huo Yichen seized the opportunity to counterattack, they would be finished.

Huo Xiuyuan concluded, “Either we kill Huo Yichen, or he kills us.”

There were only two outcomes.

“…Huo Yichen is very good at fighting. We have to think of a way. Even a car accident won’t work,” Huo Xiuyuan suggested.

Now that he thought about the scene of Huo Yichen holding him down and beating him up, it seemed to be still vivid in his mind. Huo Xiuyuan did not intend to fight the other party head-on at all.

For an accidental death, a car accident would not work. Huo Xiuyuan had already tried it once last time. The other party must be wary.

Li s.h.i.+’s gaze circled around his face, but he couldn’t ask Huo Xiuyuan in detail why he knew this.

“I’ll call the two of them over too. Let’s decide on this today.” He decided.

This kind of thing could not be delayed. Moreover, he didn’t know when Huo Yichen would take action.

Now that the arrow was on the bow, he had no choice but to shoot.

No one was willing to let this feeling of doom linger for another day..
