Chapter 453: Deadlock

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The matter of Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen became the focus.

During this period of time, Huo Yichen’s days at home could almost be described as being under 24-hours of surveillance. Other than his private time, he was monitored and his every move had to be reported to Huo Hong.

The Huo Family was like a cage that locked Huo Yichen in. Even his cell phone was restricted, cutting off the possibility of Huo Yichen contacting the outside world.

It became difficult for Murong Qiao to learn more news from Huo Yichen again.

At this moment, she was sitting in a cafe with a familiar person sitting opposite her.

It was the butler whom Murong Qiao had met at the hospital the last time Huo Yichen got into a car accident. This time, Murong Qiao specially met with him.

“The Young Master is fine at the moment. He just lost contact with the outside world.” The butler was unhurried.

When Murong Qiao learned of the situation, she understood why she didn’t receive a reply even after sending messages for a few days.

She stared down at her coffee, her mind clearly wandering. “This isn’t a long-term solution.”

They could not follow Huo Hong’s lead.

If the other party held the initiative, it would be the worst situation.

“At the very least, we have to escape Huo Hong’s control first,” she whispered.

It was hard to say anything else, but Huo Hong was watching Huo Yichen so he couldn’t do anything else.

“We have to hurry,” the butler suggested. “Once the company is free, we can’t avoid being purged.”

The butler was the most familiar with Huo Hong, so he naturally knew how decisive he was.

During the time Huo Yichen was at home, Huo Hong could pull out a few nails every day when he went to the company. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Even though Huo Hong had not visited the company for a long time, his prestige was still there.

“If Young Master wants to go out, he needs an opportunity.” The butler shook his head.

The butler was naturally on their side regarding Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen.

However, he was also one of the people Huo Hong trusted the most. During this period of time, the atmosphere in the house was serious and tense, and there were many people watching outside. No matter how powerful the butler was, he couldn’t bring Huo Yichen out under such circ.u.mstances.

According to Huo Yichen, Huo Hong had yet to suspect the butler, so he was naturally more useful to him.

Murong Qiao’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Huo Hong will invite my brother to the Huo family in a few days.”

This was a good opportunity.

“But…” Murong Qiao hesitated after saying that. “I’m afraid we can’t leave.”

This was an opportunity, but Huo Hong must have been prepared.

When the time came to discuss the marriage, not only would Huo Hong and Murong Chen make the decision, but she and Huo Yichen would also have to be present.

How to run was a big problem.

With Huo Hong’s personality, he would prefer to see the two of them register their marriage on the spot. It would be difficult for him to find a reason to leave.

This matter still needed to be discussed at length, but the butler glanced at his watch. There was not enough time today.

He stood up and bowed apologetically to Murong Qiao. “I’m sorry, Young Miss Murong. I need to go back to the Huo Family first.”

“I’ll mention this to the Young Master. See you another day.”

The butler offered to say goodbye.

Huo Hong naturally didn’t limit the butler’s entry and exit time, but if he went out for a long time, he naturally couldn’t avoid being suspected.

The butler preferred to be cautious. After ending the meeting with Murong Qiao, he returned to the Huo family.

As soon as he returned and pushed open the door, he saw Huo Hong sitting in the living room.

The butler’s heart skipped a beat, but he walked forward calmly and bowed.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming back early…”

In the past, Huo Hong would usually deal with matters in the company at this time. Now that he suddenly appeared here, even the butler didn’t receive the news.

Huo Hong stared at him for a while. “It’s fine. There was a last-minute change in the schedule today.”

“How’s the family?” he asked casually.

The butler replied truthfully, “Everything is normal.”

The two of them asked and answered. The butler answered many of Huo Hong’s questions, and they were all ordinary matters. However, returning home early today still aroused the butler’s vigilance.

As the butler replied, he looked at the photo alb.u.m in Huo Hong’s hand. He remembered that this was a photo alb.u.m of Huo Yu.

Ever since he was young, even the few times Huo Hong went home to play with his son were among them. It allowed people to see the rare caring side of Huo Hong.

But now, the other person in the photo alb.u.m was no longer alive. It was already the old man sending his son off.

“So, who do you think is better, Huo Yichen or Huo Xiuyuan?” Huo Hong suddenly turned around.

This question was even more dangerous than the previous ones.

The butler naturally felt that Huo Yichen was better, but when he saw the nostalgia in Huo Hong’s eyes when he looked at the photo alb.u.m, he could only be careful with his words.

“In terms of ability, Young Master Huo Yichen is better. In terms of relationship, Huo Xiuyuan is still the one you like the most.”

The butler wanted to say more, but Huo Hong suddenly sighed.

“If Huo Yun is still here—”

These words fell into Huo Xiuyuan’s ears when he returned home. When he heard Huo Hong’s voice mention the name that frightened him, his eyebrows twitched.

However, his footsteps exposed his existence. Sensing Huo Hong’s sudden gaze, Huo Xiuyuan braced himself and walked in.

“Father,” he called obediently.

Many people had seen him lose his composure at the company last time. Huo Xiuyuan knew that he had not been rational at that time. Ever since that day, he had been obedient and hardworking, and he had become much more obedient.

When Huo Hong saw Huo Xiuyuan, he put the photo alb.u.m aside and instantly returned to his previous state.

“There’s a project the day after tomorrow. Prepare yourself. If you can’t secure it, don’t come back.” Huo Hong’s voice turned cold.

Huo Xiuyuan’s eyes darkened as he nodded in agreement, but he was still indignant.

He remembered that Huo Hong had set the day after tomorrow to invite Murong Chen to the Huo Family to discuss the engagement. Huo Hong was clearly trying to send him away.

He had always liked to eliminate all influences.

Moreover, Huo Hong was not demented yet. He remembered what Huo Xiuyuan had said previously, but he had already decided on the matter between Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.

Then, there were two sets of footsteps on the stairs. Huo Xiuyuan looked up and saw Huo Yichen, whom he hated the most, walking down with a man.

That person was Huo Yichen’s most recent teacher. It was more appropriate to say that he was a humanoid surveillance camera.

Huo Yichen’s face was expressionless. After going downstairs, he stood beside Huo Hong and reported the results of today’s study coldly. Then, he did not say anything.

This was the norm recently. When Huo Xiuyuan saw that the other party had finally submitted to Huo Hong’s teaching methods, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of revenge.

Even if he could beat him up, he could only behave the same in front of Huo Hong.

“Patriarch Huo, I’ll leave first,” the person said respectfully. After receiving Huo Hong’s nod of approval, he turned around and left.

The butler naturally went to send them off, so only Huo Hong and the two hated Huo Yichen and Huo Xiuyuan were left in the living room.

“Follow me to the study.” Huo Hong stood up.

These words were clearly directed at Huo Yichen.

Presumably, the following conversation was not suitable for Huo Xiuyuan to be present.

Huo Xiuyuan stared at the two of them as they went upstairs. Seeing Huo Hong favor Huo Yichen in front of him, he felt even more frustrated.

All his years of hard work and flattery couldn’t compare to the b.a.s.t.a.r.d child Huo Hong had casually found.

At this moment, the thoughts in his heart made Huo Xiuyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

As if he could hear his thoughts, Huo Yichen turned around and looked at Huo Xiuyuan. His eyes were half-smiled as if he was mocking him..
