“Why? Did your wife get jealous of you?” Replied Huo Yunting as he saw his daughter through the glass window, tapping the window playfully.
Huo Chen coughed awkwardly and Huo Yunting immediately picked the gesture, “I knew it. You’re a henpecked man.”
“Well, says who.”
“…”
The two once-alpha men stayed silent behind bars set up by their other halves.
“I’m visiting the senior officer later.” Huo Chen broke the silence and ended the conversation.
“Okay, talk to you later.” Huo Yunting hung up promptly. “Who’s my baby poo? Who’s my sweet angel?”
Meanwhile, Huo Chen shook his head as he placed down his phone. Wen He’s eyes flipped away the moment Huo Chen turned to look at her. She rubbed her nose and coughed once.
“I’ll talk to you later.” And he left hurriedly before she could ask anything.
An hour later, he showed up at the military, the garden where the senior officer read his newspaper precisely.
The senior officer was old but his mind was clear and he was in the pink of health. He was as fit as a fiddle and his eyes shone in an authoritative wisdom.
“Sir.” Huo Chen gave the officer a salute.
“Huo Chen, you’ve arrived.” The officer folded his newspaper nicely and greeted him like an ordinary elderly, “Aren’t you supposed to have your honeymoon now? Why did you resume work so fast? Didn’t I ask Yang Yi to let you take the whole month off?”
“There’s something I need to talk with you, sir.” Huo Chen handed in the folder.
The officer took a quick skim before his eyes froze, “What is the meaning of this?”
“…” Huo Chen remained silent as he looked at the elderly slowly comprehending the situation.
“I understand what you’re planning now.” He sighed, “I’m very sorry regarding madam’s death but you must learn to let go at some point. I’ll let you have this, let me inform my men to assist you in every way possible.”
“Thank you, sir,” said Huo Chen sincerely.
“Huo Chen, you’ve always been brilliant in my eyes and I believe that you would not disappoint me, work hard! May the odds be with you!” Said the old man, patting Huo Chen’s shoulder agreeably.
“I will not disappoint you, sir.” And Huo Chen bowed formally to the officer before leaving to perform a quick investigation to find the correct aide-de-camp that would introduce him to the mafia underworld.
“Sir, if you need someone, I would recommend the leader from Family Jiang.”
“Can this Family Jiang be trusted?”
“The Jiang family is a group we raised to settle the forces in the dark. They are meant to be pawns, unquestionably faithful to the country.”
“Okay, good.” Huo Chen surveyed the profile in his hand carefully, “Bring me the current leader of the Jiang family, Jiang Yiyuan.”
“Immediately, sir.”
Huo Chen then swayed his man off with his eyes fixed on the profile.
Huo Chen was working in the dark and certainly Huo Yunting did not slack his day off either.
Towards the constant attack from Jin Gui Corp., he finally made a move.
“THUNDERBOLT—A STRIKE ON GOLDEN LION CORP.”
“HUO YUNTING LED ANOTHER COLLAB AGAIN!”
He caused a wave in the mass media as he began flashing all the business schemes he knew—it was for knowing more collaborators.
“THE WAR: THUNDERBOLT VS JIN GUI.”
“XIANG IN THE HUO – DIVIDE OR CONQUER?”
Soon, news about the two companies competing with each other filled the entire corporate field.
Thunderbolt Corp. had foundations and networking while Jin Gui Corp. had the funds and the fierce tenacity that they rather earned low to win the offer. The status of Thunderbolt Corp. was being challenged by the intruder, Jin Gui Corp. It had been an ongoing tug of war with no visible development. Unlike Huo Yunting, Xiang Jinxi was feeling delighted seeing the development.
He only had to stall Huo Yunting long enough till Eric established himself in the underworld and from there he would initiate his ultimate plan and Huo Yunting would be soon history!
