"What happened? Why do you look so anxious?" Huo Siqian was in a rather bad mood today . It seemed like nothing good had happened to him recently .
"The bridge we built together with the East Forest Real Estate Group collapsed just now . "
Huo Siqian could not sit tight after hearing the terrible news . He immediately stood up from his chair and shouted, "What did you just say?"
"We just got the news . Apparently the government is already onto this . The media is reporting on this already . Mayor Yan might even go personally to inspect it . "
"Are there any deaths or injuries?" Huo Siqian did not look very well .

"We don't know yet but the bridge was just finished last month . It hasn't been officially opened to the public yet . There shouldn't be a lot of cars that would drive by there so there probably aren't that many deaths . However, our reputation is damaged . The media is reporting that we're doing poor-quality constructions . . . " Huo Siqian's subordinate said reluctantly .
"What happened? What about the East Forest Real Estate Group? What are they doing about this?" Huo Siqian frowned and asked .
The two corporations had cooperated on this project . President Wang of the East Forest Real Estate Group was the brother-in-law of some high government authority so he had his network . He had dragged Huo Siqian into this project desperately . Huo Siqian agreed to this project because he was showing his respect to this President Wang, rather than for money . That was why he made a rather small investment just as a gesture . However, the media was reporting that this bridge was linked to him . Now that the bridge had collapsed, Huo Siqian could not escape the blame .
"President Wang from the East Forest Real Estate Group turned off his phone . I asked people from his company and they're all saying they can't get hold of President Wang either . . . "
"He turned off his phone? That bastard sure ran fast! What the hell is going on?" Huo Siqian shouted angrily .

"Boss, I think there's someone behind this . This can't be a coincidence . The timing of this is too suspicious . Why did it collapse when the provincial government executives were coming to inspect the city?" his subordinate said .
"Do you think I need you to tell me that? Of course I know . There's so much going on lately . Looks like our enemies can't sit tight anymore and want to kill me very badly," Huo Siqian scoffed .
"Boss, didn't you link the last incident with Shen Mingxi? He might be behind this too . Should we teach him a lesson and show him who's boss? If we let this go on, people might think that you're weak!"
"No . I don't have time to play those stupid games . I only have one month left . . . I need to hurry and use the time left to do what's important," Huo Siqian said slowly after some deep thought .
"But Boss, what should we do with the current situation?"

"When someone asks, just blame it on the East Forest Real Estate Group . Say that we were pure investors and were not involved in the construction of the project, which was solely managed by President Wang from the East Forest Real Estate Group . Luckily, I saved a trick up my sleeve or I would have really been tricked by that bastard . . . "
Huo Siqian was rather impressed by his own wits . He was not so simpleminded to just give one million in cash for the project and let it be . If he did not suspect this bastard and did additional safety measures, like sending people from his side to monitor, with this bridge project, he would have been doomed .
"Yes, Boss . I'll do as you say right away . . . "
After his subordinate left, Huo Siqian massaged his temples . He seemed to be in a very bad mood .
He had not been taking his medicine lately . Instead, he drank so much that he was able to fall asleep .
The pressure Ian put on him was immense . Ordinary people would not understand what he was going through .
He had to make a decision about Huo Mian very soon .
-Meanwhile, at South Side Recuperation Centre -
"Deputy Director, Miss Nie wants to see you . She's at the door," a nurse reported .
"Miss Nie?" Huo Mian was slightly caught off guard but she very soon nodded and said, "Let her in . "
Huo Mian thought it was an old patient of hers . To her surprise, it was the famous celebrity, Nie Lingxuan .
