  Facing Huo Jie’s exasperation, Huo Heng appeared much calmer.

  Huo Heng smirked. “Young Master Jie, how did I cheat you?”


  Huo Jie froze.

  In front of Old Master Huo, the higher-ups, and the shareholders, he naturally couldn’t tell them that he had sent Bai Tong to steal Huo Heng’s business secrets.

  Logically speaking, if Fourth Master Huo did not receive the news that E20 wanted to fix the road, how could Huo Heng know in advance?

  Could it be a coincidence?

  Fourth Master Huo naturally wouldn’t let Huo Jie cause trouble in the meeting room. He coughed once, and Huo Jie let go of Huo Heng’s collar with a dark expression.

  Old Master Huo personally made a call. After making the call to confirm the accuracy of the information, his expression was cold as he threw a folder at Fourth Master Huo. “I’ve only praised you for a short while, but you’ve already made such a big mistake!”


  Fourth Master Huo pursed his lips tightly, not saying a word to Old Master Huo’s accusation.

  Almost all of his liquidity had been invested into this project. If Old Master did not give him the funds, his company would have to face the crisis of having its capital chain broken.

  The situation that was originally advantageous to him had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. He had not expected this.

  “Father, it was my mistake this time.”


  Old Master Huo waved his hand. “Hurry up and settle this matter.”


  Fourth Master Huo left the meeting room with Huo Jie.

  Once they reached Fourth Master Huo’s office, Fourth Master Huo picked up the ashtray and threw it at Huo Jie, who was so frightened that he dodged. The ashtray fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

  “What did you do?” Fourth Master Huo questioned with an ashen face.

  Huo Jie hung his head low with an expression of gritting his teeth.

  “I didn’t expect it to be like this.” Huo Jie didn’t dare to look at Fourth Master Huo. “Third Brother and the rest are really lucky this time.”


  “Lucky?” Fourth Master Huo sneered. “Do you think they didn’t know?”


  Huo Jie was surprised. “But even you didn’t receive the news. How could they know in advance?”


  “Third Brother might not have known, but that Huo Heng definitely got the news ahead of time. You asked Bai Tong to get close to him and steal the tender document from his computer. I suspect that he knows everything.”


  Huo Jie did not really believe that Huo Heng had such means and ability, but the reality was right in front of him. Fourth Master had suffered a huge loss this time.

  Huo Jie clenched his fists tightly as a sinister look appeared in his eyes. “He’s just like Huo Ze back then. He’s an eyesore. Someone like that would only ruin everyone by staying alive!”


  …


  After the meeting.

  Huo Third Master called Huo Heng to his office.

  Huo Third Master patted Huo Heng’s shoulder and said, “You did well this time, but I have my doubts too. How did you know that the road was going to be built in advance?”


  Huo Heng had analyzed the terrain, traffic, residential and commercial areas. “The development over there is gradually worsening. Moreover, the Shen family, who owns that piece of land, is in a hurry to sell it. I felt that something was wrong. Some time ago, I went to look for the young master of the Shen family and had a few drinks with him. One time, he drank too much and accidentally revealed this secret.”


  Huo Third Master looked at Huo Heng. This young man was far more talented than he had imagined.

  It reminded him of Huo Ze.

  Huo Heng saw that Huo Third Master was looking at him in a daze. Huo Heng asked, “Third Master, what’s wrong?”


  Huo Third Master shook his head. “It’s nothing. You did well this time. Even if Fourth Brother can recover, we won’t have to be afraid of him anymore.”


  …


  Huo Heng left Huo Third Master’s office and got into the car.

  He called Xia Cha.

  Jian Ming had sent him a message two hours ago. He had sent her breakfast but the little girl didn’t open the door.

  He was indeed too impulsive last night. It was understandable that she was angry.

  No one answered Huo Heng’s call.

  Huo Heng sent Xia Cha a message: Go to your apartment later.

  After sending the message, Huo Heng drove to his hotel.

  When they arrived at the underground parking lot of the hotel, Huo Heng was about to turn into the parking lot when a slender figure suddenly rushed over.

  Huo Heng stepped on the brakes.

  Bai Tong blocked the windshield.

  Huo Heng took off his sunglasses and lowered the car window.

  Bai Tong walked over and glared at Huo Heng. “Young Master Huo, I didn’t expect you to be so scheming. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”


  Huo Heng’s lips twitched, but he didn’t say anything.

  “Young Master Huo, you’re going to kill me by doing that!”


  Huo Heng thought that Bai Tong was a weirdo. She had done something wrong but now, she was blaming him for not showing mercy?

  “Young Master Huo, I know you have feelings for me. I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I’ll work like a slave for you in the future, okay?”


  Huo Heng couldn’t be bothered with Bai Tong. He stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car immediately left the parking spot.

  Huo Heng got out of the car and walked toward the elevator without looking at Bai Tong.

  After Huo Heng left, a figure in black walked over.

  That figure directly walked towards Huo Heng’s car.

  Bai Tong’s eyes widened as she watched the man tamper with Huo Heng’s car.

  Bai Tong walked over and grabbed the man’s arm.

  The man was wearing a mask, so Bai Tong couldn’t see his face clearly. “W-what are you doing?”


  The man shook off Bai Tong’s hand. “Did you see that?”


  “You want Huo Heng to get into an accident? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell him?”


  “Young Master Jie said that you wouldn’t dare.”


  Bai Tong took two steps back.

  She didn’t dare to do it, but this person had tampered with Huo Heng’s car while she was around. If Huo Heng found out, wouldn’t he suspect her?

  Seemingly seeing through Bai Tong’s thoughts, the man said, “I’ve already taken care of the surveillance cameras here. Huo Heng won’t be able to find out.”


  Bai Tong wanted to say something, but the man quickly left.

  Bai Tong didn’t dare to stay here any longer and could only leave.

  …


  After Huo Heng finished his work in the suite, he took his clothes and went to Xia Cha’s apartment.

  Just as Huo Heng’s car drove out of the parking lot, an inconspicuous car followed him out.

  The MPV followed Huo Heng at a distance, making it difficult for others to notice.

  Huo Heng glanced at the rearview mirror. The car drove into the road and he turned a corner.

  The MPV followed.

  Huo Heng drove very quickly. After driving for some distance, his phone vibrated.

  Huo Heng put on his Bluetooth. “Little Camellia.”


  “Don’t come over later. I don’t want to talk to you for three days.”


  “Okay.”


  His sudden reply stunned Xia Cha for a few seconds.

  She was just saying it out of anger, wanting him to coax her more.

  Unexpectedly, he added fuel to the fire.

  “Huo Heng, you’re a big liar!”


  He had tricked her step by step.

  After that, he started not cherishing her anymore.

  Huo Heng looked at the MPV behind him and said in a low voice, “Little Camellia, I have something on now. I won’t talk to you for now.”


  Huo Heng had already driven the car to the suburbs. It happened to be on a downhill road. The car’s brakes had malfunctioned.
