Chapter 189: Watch the Battle from the Sidelines
“Huo Zhen, what are you daydreaming about?” Qin Yuan waved his hand in front of Huo Zhen.
“Huh?” Luo Tao looked up at Qin Yuan.
“How many times have you daydreamed since you got on the plane? What are you thinking about?”
Luo Tao had returned to Jing City because he heard that Huo Li had agreed to sign the project contract. Also, one of Huo Zhen’s branches had been taken back by old master Huo. Old master Huo had recently threatened them to go back.
“It’s nothing.” Luo Tao supported his chin with one hand and tapped the armrest of the sofa with the other. He continued, “Even if Huo Zheng’s power has been weakened, Huo Li is still far behind him.”
“Are you going to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight? You’re brothers after all. Wouldn’t it be better if you worked together for a win-win situation?” Qin Yuan made himself a pot of tea and poured a cup for Luo Tao.
“Ha, work together?” Luo Tao chuckled. “Huo Li has been suppressed by Huo Zheng over the years. Otherwise, why would he keep trying to fight for a new project?”
“When those little fish and shrimp with evil intentions finish standing in line, we can close the net.”
Qin Yuan clicked his tongue. Thinking of the recent turmoil in Jing City, he could not help but feel a myriad of emotions.
Ever since Huo frame returned to Jing city, countless pairs of eyes had been staring at him in the open and in the dark. However, Huo Zhen had run away just like that. Not only did he set up a substitute in Bordeaux, but he also ran back to C City.
What made Qin Yuan feel even more devastated was that this incident in Jing City was also caused by a foreign power.
Who was the foreign power? Those who knew the Huo family, the first person they thought of was Huo Zhen’s fourth uncle and fifth uncle.
Huo Zhen was very ruthless. He gave people room to guess, but he did not give them any concrete evidence that Huo Zhen’s fourth uncle and fifth uncle had done it. Even if they wanted to explain, there was nothing they could do. What could they explain? They were not accused. Everything was just vague clues and guesses.
......
Of course, Huo Zhen was also suspected. However, according to the news from Bordeaux, Huo Zhen was followed almost every day, and he did not meet anyone in private.
Someone went to investigate Huo Zhen’s movements, but there was no sign of anything suspicious. After all the investigations, the only result that came out was that Huo Zhen had really lost his fighting spirit.
“Huo Zhen, are you going to confess or continue to hide things from old master Huo?”
Luo Tao thought for a moment and said, “Hide! Let him think that I have completely lost my fighting spirit.”
Qin Yuan clicked his tongue. “Aren’t you afraid that he will take back your inheritance right away when he sees you like this?”
“The old master dotes on me. He won’t take back my power for a while.” Luo Tao chuckled.
“Fine! Do as you see fit.” Qin Yuan said disdainfully, then thought of the message from Du Jing.
“Huo Zhen, I heard from Du Jing that the old master seems to be going to spare your third uncle.”
Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why? Did he cry and admit his mistake again?”
“You guessed it correctly!” Qin Yuan slapped his thigh and said.
“Yeah, he should have knelt at the ancestral hall and confessed to his ancestors.”
“Huo Zhen, that’s amazing! Why? Did your men pay attention to this and report it to you?”
Luo Tao smiled mockingly and said, “I’m used to it. People in their 40s and 50s don’t seem to know anything else.”
“If your plan succeeds, what are you going to do with your uncles? Let their experience a car accident too?”
Luo Tao picked up the teacup that Qin Yuan placed in front of him and lowered his eyes to taste it.
“Your tea brewing skills have improved. Continue to work hard.”
“Okay.”
Luo Tao changed the topic too quickly, causing Qin Yuan to be unable to react in time.
Looking at the scenery outside the plane, Luo Tao was lost in thought again.
He had been in a daze for many times today, but he just felt that Mo Yan seemed to have discovered something.
Previously, he had casually mentioned a part-time job as a translator because he couldn’t think of any occupation. Now that he said that he had been invited by a friend to go out for a few days, Mo Yan didn’t ask much. She only told him to be careful on the road and let him leave after giving him some instructions.
“Huo Zhen? What are you thinking about now?” Qin Yuan sighed helplessly.
“When do you think I should tell Mo Yan about my identity?”
Luo Tao changed the topic too quickly. Qin Yuan thought for a moment before he frowned and said, “Not now.”
“Huh? Why?” Luo Tao asked.
Qin Yuan sighed and put his hand on his forehead. “Young master, your plan has just started and you already want to stir up some trouble. Aren’t you afraid that the old master will flip out?”
