"Hmph! Useless trash!"
From the other end of the phone, a cold voice came through, scaring Lu Bingkun into a cold sweat, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
He knew all too well that this Young Master Huo was cold-blooded and ruthless, often demanding entire families be buried alongside his victims.
Luckily…
The man on the other end of the call seemed to be in a good mood today and did not blame him too much.
"Forget it! The plan had flaws, but the Lin family's destruction is inevitable, and that's enough."
"I want Lin Xuan to know that if he dares to touch the woman I, Huo Qichen, have set my eyes on, then his entire Lin family will be buried with him."
"I have other matters to attend to. I'm hanging up." Beep... beep... beep...
After the call ended—
Lu Bingkun let out a deep sigh of relief, threw his phone onto the table, and slumped weakly onto the sofa.
Sigh...
Once I finish handling this for Young Master Huo, I need to find a way to escape his control…
Otherwise, living in constant fear like this simply isn't unbearable…
Lu Bingkun thought to himself, but when he recalled the power of the Huo family, his heart became uncertain..
Huo Xia Group
An old first-tier family in Magic City, primarily focused on real estate.
They owned Magic City's top shopping centers, hotels, and luxury residential districts. Their real estate business spanned the entire country, making them one of the most renowned real estate tycoons in China.
Huo Qichen, 30 years old.
The eldest direct heir of the Huo family and the designated successor.
He is regarded as a once-in-a-century business prodigy, highly ambitious and decisive, with sharp market insight.
He frequently travels domestically and internationally to study markets and seek new investment opportunities.
His team could always accurately grasp market trends and formulate strategic development plans.
It was due to his meticulous strategies in the business world that the Huo family's real estate empire had grown rapidly in just a few short years...
"Who would've thought that such a golden boy would ultimately fall for the number one beauty of Magic City."
"After years of relentless pursuit, he was cruelly rejected. Unable to attain her, his love turned to hatred. He then started targeting the Su family in both overt and covert ways, which accelerated their downfall!"
"And the reason for targeting the Lin family was also due to the engagement between the Lin and Su families, which enraged the jealous Huo Qichen..."
"........"
Just as Lu Bingkun was frowning in thought!
Elsewhere.
Inside a luxurious five-star hotel.
A man with chiseled features, draped in a bathrobe, sat on a brown French-imported sofa.
Between his well-defined fingers, he held a thick cigar.
He gazed at the short-haired woman on the bed, who was clutching the sheets and sobbing, then let out a hoarse, cold laugh:
"Woman, you really have some tricks? After all that scheming, you finally made it to my bed."
"No! You've misunderstood. I was drugged last night. While fleeing in a panic, I accidentally entered the wrong room."
The short-haired woman's eyes were brimming with tears as she desperately explained.
"Heh... still trying to deny it? Woman, I've seen through your filthy tricks."
Huo Qichen's lips curled slightly, his narrow eyes filled with mockery.
"No, I don't even know you. Why would I use tricks on you?"
"You don't know me? Ridiculous! In this world, there's no woman who doesn't know me, Huo Qichen, or isn't smitten by my charm."
"But I really don't know you! I'm busy selling pancakes every day to make a living, who would know you?!"
"You still dare to argue! Unless... you're not a woman?"
Hearing this.
The short-haired woman was speechless and on the verge of tears. She really did enter the wrong room by mistake?!
But Huo Qichen didn't believe it at all. He sat on the sofa, legs crossed, puffing on the cigar in his fingers.
After a long silence, he smirked and said:
"Hmph! If you keep pretending, I won't mind helping you relive how you used your tricks on me last night."
"I'm going home."
Seeing she couldn't explain herself, the short-haired woman simply picked up her coat from the bed, threw it on, and tried to leave.
Seeing this.
Huo Qichen's long, narrow eyes narrowed. He crushed the cigar in the ashtray and coldly snorted:
"Damn woman! Did I give you permission to leave? Did I say you could go?"
"After doing this to me, you want to leave without even an apology?"
The man got up, his long legs striding forward as he approached the panicked short-haired woman.
"What do you want to do?"
The woman struggled desperately, but Huo Qichen grabbed both her wrists and pinned her against the wall — kabedon.
"Hmph! Woman, stop pretending to be some chaste and virtuous lady! Last night, your body was far more honest than your mouth."
After saying that, Huo Qichen lowered his head, about to forcefully kiss the woman.
But in an instant, the short-haired woman turned her face away and kept cursing:
"You bastard! You're despicable! You shameless pervert!"
Hearing the woman's curses, not only did Huo Qichen not get angry — instead, a playful smirk appeared on his face.
Hmm?!
This woman actually dares to insult me?
No woman has ever dared to scold me like this before…
She's actually… quite interesting!
"Very well! Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."
"Tell me! How much do you want to become my plaything?"
Huo Qichen continued to kabedon the short-haired woman, smirking.
But within those narrow eyes was a cold, unquestionable dominance — as if a high king selecting his queen.
At this moment.
The aura of a domineering CEO was fully unleashed!!!
"I don't want your money, you beast who doesn't know how to respect others."
Seeing Huo Qichen try to humiliate her with money, the short-haired woman became furious.
She turned her head and bit down hard on the man's wrist. While he flinched in pain and let go, she quickly fled the room, disappearing from his view in the blink of an eye...
Looking at the bite mark on his wrist, the usually expressionless Huo Qichen suddenly laughed.
With a faint smirk, he murmured to himself:
"Heh! It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting woman."
"She's not interested in my money? She's got quite the personality, a rather unique woman."
"But you don't actually think… that you can escape my grasp just like that, do you? Naïve!"
Then.
Huo Qichen took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to his subordinate, along with a secretly taken photo of the short-haired woman.
[Within three minutes, I want all the information on this woman.]
