Chapter 449: Everything Was Not Going Well

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Hong was old after all. Even if he returned to the company, he wouldn’t be able to sit for long.

Many people were secretly guessing who the successor would be.

“To put it bluntly, who knows if Huo Hong will have an accident tomorrow?” Someone joked.

However, this joke also contained malice.

The sly old foxes of the board of directors were also considering this matter, especially since they had discussed it many times recently.

The current company was divided into three faction and the branch faction was on Huo Xiuyuan’s side. The neutral faction swayed left and right, as well as the faction Huo Yichen had nurtured in the company during this period of time. “If Huo Yichen successfully takes over, I’m afraid our good days will be over.” The few of them looked at each other and agreed with this sentence.

Everyone had seen Huo Yichen’s ability in the company. His methods were swift and efficient, and no matter how difficult it was for the clients, they could still negotiate.

Moreover, on Huo Hong’s birthday some time ago, many people saw him chatting happily with Murong Chen. Therefore, everyone almost tacitly agreed that Huo Hong would make Huo Yichen the heir.

However, now that the situation had changed, everyone couldn’t understand Huo Hong’s thoughts.

One of them couldn’t help but sigh. “If not for the conflict of interests, I really think Huo Yichen is quite capable.”

“As for Huo Xiuyuan…”

Sometimes, everything was unspoken.

“What about the invitation? What should we say? Are we going or not?” Another person asked.

Huo Xiuyuan was not good at running a company. Instead, he was good at winning over people’s hearts and flattering them.

Seeing that his work results were not popular, he simply took another path and planned to rope in more people to support him.

“Of course.”

Huo Xiuyuan was an easy chess piece to control.

Huo Hong was not the only one who thought so. Many people on the board of directors also thought so, including the branch family that was willing to support Huo Xiuyuan.

It had been seven days since Huo Yichen was placed under house arrest. Huo Hong called Huo Xiuyuan over again, but this time, it was not at home, but at the office.

Seven days!” Huo Hong threw the document in his hand and scolded him angrily, “Not only did we not manage to negotiate a single collaboration, but a few of our clients even canceled their contracts!”

Huo Xiuyuan lowered his head and didn’t say anything despite Huo Hong’s criticism.

This was the first time Huo Hong had such a clear understanding of the difference in ability between Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen.

“You can ignore the cooperation with the others, but if anything happens to the project with the Murong Family—”

That was all he had to say. Huo Xiuyuan knew the consequences very well.

This was also Huo Hong’s last line.

“I understand.” Huo Xiuyuan nodded.

He naturally understood the importance of the Murong Family.

Not to mention anything else, at least Huo Xiuyuan was still thinking about

Murong Qiao and the possibility of a marriage.

After all, Huo Yichen couldn’t stop him now. If Murong Qiao’s matter could be approved by Murong Chen, it would be more than half successful.

Then, he would rope in those neutral old men to stand on his side…

Huo Xiuyuan calculated in his heart. He had already sent out the invitation. However, everything seemed to be going wrong, but Huo Xiuyuan’s plan was ruined.

“I’m sorry, there’s an urgent matter at the last minute. I’m afraid I can’t make

it.”

“Let’s meet again another day.”

“Something happened at home—”

Regardless of whether the reasons were real or sincere, the three people who had arranged to meet finally sent a message at the same time saying that they had something on at the last minute and couldn’t come.

Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that he threw a large pile of documents on the ground. The angry assistant was shocked.

It was obvious that it had been discussed. How could there be such a coincidence that three people did not come?

Huo Xiuyuan felt that the three of them were fooling him. Even if they said that they were not coming because of something, they were just putting on airs.

“Alright, all of you think you’re really clean.” Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that he laughed.

Did they really think that he wouldn’t expose the rotten things they had done previously?

Huo Xiuyuan thought for a moment and wasn’t polite this time. He changed his tone and sent the message.

But at this moment, the three of them didn’t have time to reply to him.

To be able to reject Huo Xiuyuan’s invitation, there must be something far more important than this.

In a high-class and luxurious private room of a hotel, the four of them sat at a round table. After looking at each other, their gazes finally landed on Huo Yichen, who was treating them to a meal.

“Young President Huo,” Li Shi, who had the most authority among the three of them, spoke first.

As the saying went, one should not slap a smiling person. Li Shi had a refined posture and a smile that made people not dislike him.

He asked tentatively, “You invited us over this time____________________ ”

The other two people’s hearts were also pounding as they stared at Huo Yichen, waiting for his reaction.

They were clearly the few people who had the right to speak in the company, but at this dining table, their palms were so nervous that they were sweating. “Previously, everyone said that Huo Yu died accidentally.” Huo Yichen suddenly raised another completely unrelated topic.

He took a sip of red wine. “But I found out something different.”

“Everyone here seems to have some problems.” Huo Yichen looked up and swept his gaze across everyone’s faces with different expressions, revealing a meaningful and terrifying smile.

That sharp gaze seemed to have seen through their thoughts and even tore open their hypocritical appearance.

Huo Yichen had always liked to solve problems efficiently, not to mention that there was no point in beating around the bush with these people.

Li Shi pretended to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead casually and laughed dryly. “Problem? Why is Young President Huo speaking in riddles?”

As for the other two, one was Wang Quanguan, and the other was Zheng

Qiguang. The two of them looked at each other and had a bad feeling.

“Huo Yu naturally died accidentally. Why did you mention this?” Wang Quanguan still wanted to play dumb.

On the other hand, Zheng Qiguang was more depressed. He had not said much since he entered the room and sat down.

Even when this slightly sensitive topic was mentioned at this moment, he didn’t react. He only sat there with a numb face.

Huo Yichen didn’t answer this. He only casually placed the evidence he had found on the table for the other three to look through.

“This—” Wang Quanguan’s face immediately turned pale.

This was because the evidence Huo Yichen had taken out clearly explained how the three of them had conspired with Huo Xiuyuan to kill Huo Hong’s biological son.

However, other than the four of them now, no one should know about this.

How did Huo Yichen get all this?

The same doubts appeared in the hearts of the other two.

They would know at a glance if they had done anything. Moreover, the three of

them had always been guilty and knew this very well.

Back then, in order to sit in Huo Hong’s position, many people had schemed against him. However, after realizing that they couldn’t frame the meticulous Huo Hong, someone targeted his biological son.

As long as he lost his heir, it was only a matter of time before the company was divided up.

With Huo Xiuyuan’s help, everything happened naturally. It was as if he had really died in an accident. Even Huo Hong couldn’t find any evidence.

Li Shi met Huo Yichen’s gaze with an ugly expression. “What else do you know?”

They thought that they had hidden it well, but in the end, Huo Yichen had placed it all on their faces. Any one of these pieces of evidence could constitute a crime of conspiracy to commit murder.

If this piece of evidence landed in Huo Hong’s hands—

“That will depend on the sincerity you offer..”
