Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Return Gift

Y Country. Someone was in a good mood after teasing a child.

His lips curved, and his coldness instantly dissipated.

He lifted his hand to press the bell and Huo Qi immediately ran in.

“Master Huo, are you done with talking to Miss Song?” he grinned nosily.

Huo Yunque faintly glanced at him. “How are things going with Xiao Lin? Have you found the instigator?”

As soon as he heard these words, Huo Qi’s smile disappeared.

He shook his head. “These people were obviously trained to go on a suicide mission. They refused to reveal anything and are hanging by their last breaths. But…we did discover something.”

“Oh?” Huo Yunque raised an eyebrow.

Huo Er nodded. He then pulled out a tablet and showed a video to him. “This woman has been in and out of our premises lately. At first, we thought she was an ordinary guest, but later on, we discovered that her timing was very coincidental so I sent someone to investigate. Can you guess who this woman is?”

The room fell silent. The only people who could get that close were those that were meant to be loyal.

After some time, Huo Yunque chuckled as he shook his cup and watched the water swirl.

“Have the Gordons been contacting anyone in China?”

The Gordons would never have the guts to attack him on their own.

Unless it was beneficial enough for them and they could guarantee that he would die.

“The Master is almighty! Hehe…”

Huo Qi stuck up his thumb like a bootlicker. “What a coincidence, someone’s been playing frequent tricks in China too.”

Huo Yunque was not surprised.

He narrowed his eyes. “Notify Huo Jiu. Tell him to increase security on the person he is secretly protecting. Also…”—he smirked—”Help me prepare a return gift for the Gordons.”

Huo Yunque was like an eagle. On the surface, he appeared like a gentleman, but when one actually went up against him, they would discover how frightening his methods were. He was radical, domineering, and strong. If they didn’t kill him in one go, then their new enemy would bring on endless troubles and relentless revenge.

Huo Er grinned. “Yes, Sir! I’ve been putting up with those guys for long enough!”

This time, he could finally declare war on them!

These people thought they could bully them just because they had been keeping a low profile.

“Tell Huo Yi to come here.”

The man began making preparations even though his injuries hadn’t recovered yet.

Meanwhile, in an old castle, standing on a steep cliff, facing a winding mountain road.

Looking down, the road looked like a long snake. The castle was surrounded by tall walls. The quaint tiles and beautiful golden city walls resembled the royal palaces where kings lived, magnificent and luxurious under the sun, displaying the extravagance of the rich in all its glory.

Slap—

Elder Gordon, who was in his seventies, threw a ruthless slap across Armand’s face. His eagle eyes curved in a sinister manner, and the protruding veins on the back of his hand reflected his annoyance.

“Idiot!”

“Yes, Father.”

Armand lowered his head with respect, his cheeks swollen.

He was extremely helpless. Everywhere he went, there were glamorous people, but his suit was wrinkled and stained.

“Armand, you are such a disappointment!” Elder Gordon shook his head. “Do you know where you went wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have sent someone to assassinate him because of temptation.”

Slap—

Elder Gordon’s temples twitched as he gave another slap.

“No, the Gordons prioritize their own interests. Liking money is not a flaw; having ambition is not a flaw. What I’m disappointed in, is the fact that you didn’t kill him in one go!”
