Chapter 301: Gurney Sack + Vicious Beating
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Previously, Huo Yichen had said that he wanted to go back to the Huo Family, but before he went back, Huo Yichen made time to do something else.
Huo Yichen arrived at Huo Xiuyuan’s company after work and stood on the path he had to pass after work.
He stood at the corner and looked at the dial on his wrist in silence. Coupled with the dark corner that the setting sun could not reach, this scene looked dark and terrifying.
As a result, the hooligans who had just stepped into the alley retreated and left without looking back, afraid that they would attract this man’s attention. Moreover, there was a bodyguard in black standing beside the man. If they took another look at him, they were afraid that they would die.
Footsteps gradually approached. Huo Yichen looked up at the corner and saw Huo Xiuyuan in a suit.
“Wu!”
Huo Xiuyuan’s collar was pulled, and the huge force came from behind him.
Before he could figure out what had happened or turn around to look, his vision was occupied by the rough texture of a gurney sack.
Huo Xiuyuan wanted to scream in panic, but the person who attacked seemed to be able to predict his thoughts in advance. In the next second, he stuffed something into his mouth.
“Wu! Wuwu!!!” Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t cry for help and immediately panicked.
The bodyguard in black focused on tightening the sack. After confirming that Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t speak or struggle to escape, he took two steps back respectfully and handed over the baseball bat, leaving the space for Huo Yichen.
Huo Yichen looked at Huo Xiuyuan, who had landed in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched into a cold smile.
He pressed Huo Xiuyuan against the wall and punched him in the face.
Hearing the other party’s muffled cries of pain, Huo Yichen’s eyes overflowed with joy. He raised the baseball bat and smashed it into Huo Xiuyuan’s body.
He attacked mercilessly, using 100% of his strength.
There were no surveillance cameras in the alley. At this time, most people were rushing home from work, so no one would notice what was happening here.
Huo Yichen’s anger was not because Huo Xiuyuan coveted his identity as the heir, but because he had placed his scheming heart on Murong Qiao.
If Huo Xiuyuan had schemed against him, Huo Yichen could ignore it, but his schemes against Murong Qiao had indeed touched his reverse scale.
Hence, he beat Huo Xiuyuan up. Other than the first punch that landed on his face, the rest of the punches were aimed at places that could not be seen.
In fact, if not for the series of troubles that would follow if Huo Xiuyuan died, Huo Yichen would have killed him long ago.
Huo Yichen had already suffered once, so he naturally would not let Huo Xiuyuan succeed a second time.
After he returned, he was called to the study by Huo Hong.
“How are you doing with the daughter of the Murong Family?” Huo Hong went straight to the point.
His thoughts were not hidden.
Huo Yichen deliberately frowned. “It’s fine.”
He said this with a hint of frustration. It was difficult not to imagine that something unpleasant had happened between him and Murong Qiao.
As expected, Huo Hong frowned at his appearance.
“You’re the heir of the Huo Family. I don’t have to teach you how to prioritize the big picture,” Huo Hong reprimanded him.
Huo Yichen was his son after all. No matter how much he disliked him, Huo Hong valued him enough.
“…I understand.” Huo Yichen nodded obediently.
Huo Yichen’s performance was outstanding enough, so Huo Hong did not suspect him yet. At most, he felt that Huo Yichen was a little immature, but he was still his son.
However, there was no progress with Murong Qiao for a long time. This matter also made Huo Hong frown for a moment.
It would naturally be best if they could become in-laws with the Murong Family, but if he could not…
Huo Hong’s gaze swept across Huo Yichen, filled with calculation and thought.
It was not that there was no substitute for Murong Qiao. Other than the Murong Family, there were a few other good girls in this generation. In terms of social status, marrying Huo Yichen was not bad.
“How’s your health?” Huo Hong changed the topic.
On the day of Huo Yichen’s accident, Huo Hong already knew about this matter. However, when he found out that Huo Yichen’s injuries weren’t life-threatening, he didn’t care about this matter anymore.
Huo Yichen stared at Huo Hong’s seemingly concerned gaze and replied, “It’s nothing serious.”
He was only concerned about whether he had the ability to inherit the Huo Family. Huo Yichen did not think that Huo Hong was really asking about his health.
However, he still had to say what he needed to say. At least, now was not the time to fall out with Huo Hong.
The knock on the door interrupted what Huo Hong wanted to say.
“Come in.” Huo Hong frowned.
The displeasure of being interrupted was obvious on his face, and Huo Xiuyuan, who had pushed the door open, saw it. The smile on his face froze for a moment before he realized that he had come at the wrong time and interrupted Huo Hong and Huo Yichen’s conversation.
He braced himself and walked over to stand beside Huo Yichen, facing Huo Hong’s oppressive gaze.
An invisible pressure spread in the study, filling the entire space, making it difficult to breathe.
However, since he was already here, Huo Xiuyuan did not dare to waste Huo Hong’s time.
Huo Xiuyuan mentally prepared himself. “The company…”
Speaking of this, Huo Xiuyuan was very puzzled. This was also the reason why he took the initiative to look for Huo Hong.
In order to train his ability, Huo Hong had given him a company to run. Huo Xiuyuan had always run it well. Although he was not outstanding, he could at least not make any mistakes.
However, today, he suddenly received a notice that the company’s management rights had been changed. He was directly dismissed from his position and demoted to the most ordinary employee.
“I ordered it.” Huo Hong did not give an answer directly.
Huo Hong was indeed the one who ordered for Huo Xiuyuan to be dropped to the lowest level and removed him as the president of the company.
As for the reason, it was naturally Huo Yichen’s car accident.
Huo Hong was furious when he received the evidence and instructed someone to teach Huo Xiuyuan a lesson.
In terms of ability or blood ties, although Huo Hong did not like the fact that Huo Yichen was out of his control, Huo Xiuyuan was far inferior to Huo Yichen in both aspects.
Huo Xiuyuan originally wanted to ask Huo Hong to restore his position, but when he heard that he was the one who ordered it, his face immediately turned pale. He moved his lips and did not dare to speak.
Huo Hong’s expression was calm. “As for the reason… you know very well.”
To Huo Hong, Huo Xiuyuan was just a spare tire. He was a dog that he could order around at will under the conditions that he had no heir.
However, this dog was not loyal now, so as its master, Huo Hong naturally had to let it suffer a little before it could be obedient.
Huo Xiuyuan, who was originally feeling guilty, felt his scalp tighten. In a panic, he looked up and met Huo Hong’s gaze.
He was so frightened that his body trembled, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating. He felt that all his thoughts had been seen through by Huo Hong.
“You can leave.” Huo Hong waved his hand.
He still had something to tell Huo Yichen, so he did not have time to scold Huo Xiuyuan for the time being.
Huo Xiuyuan bowed respectfully and left, leaving the study in silence.
The silence lasted for about five minutes before Huo Hong continued.
“You’ve been in the Huo Family for a while now. You’ve learned your etiquette well, and your grades are not bad either.” As he spoke, he took out a document and placed it in front of Huo Yichen.
It was a subsidiary company of the Huo Family. It was not very large and had always performed ordinary. Therefore, it became Huo Hong’s test for Huo Yichen.
“In that case, it’s time to train yourself more.”
Ten minutes later, Huo Yichen walked out of the study with a detailed report on the subsidiary company in his hand.
According to Huo Hong, he had already learned everything he needed to learn. It was time to test him.
After ail, the heir of the Huo Family could not be a paper tiger. It was only a matter of time before he took over a company. It was also Huo Yichen’s outstanding results that made Huo Hong bring this matter forward..
