Huo Yunting looked at Huo Li quietly, refusing to lay out his cards . The latter was annoyed that he could not tell whether Huo Yunting was giving him a look of sympathy or ridicule .
Fortunately, the staredown ended swiftly . “Don’t worry . Just focus on helping me with this one thing,” Huo Yunting said slowly .
“What is it?”
Huo Yunting asked him to come closer and whispered in his ear .
“Got it?”
Huo Li looked invigorated .
“Of course, consider it done!”
“Goodbye . ”
Huo Li slipped away with renewed enthusiasm . Huo Yunting did not linger as well . He used his wife as an excuse to leave for the capital and ignored all the rumours gradually building up in the company .
In the hospital, he hugged his beloved daughter and then helped Lu Zhaoyang back to her room .
After she settled down in bed, she asked, “Is Xiang Jinxi back?”
Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow . “How did you know?”
“Anyone with a brain can work it out, okay?” Lu Zhaoyang said and frowned . “Who else would dare to challenge you so openly? Besides, the name of that company makes it even more obvious . ”
Huo Yunting looked at her in surprise . “I see that not all women become dumb after their pregnancy . ”
Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him and frowned worriedly . That made her husband’s heart ache .
He wrapped her in his arms and buried his head in the crook of her neck to savour her smell .
“Don’t worry, know that I will take care of this . Just stay in the capital in the meantime and stay away from the city . ”
Huo Yunting was keeping Xiang Jinxi in check, while Huo Chen had his eye on Bruce’s family . Lu Zhaoyang would be safe .
“Alright . ”
Lu Zhaoyang did not doubt her husband’s abilities . She wanted to help out, but since she had only recently given birth and was busy looking after her ill daughter, she was in no mood to work .
“You be careful . ”
Huo Yunting stopped himself from making a joke when he saw how concerned she was and simply nodded instead .
“I will . ”
A few days later, the battle between Jin Financial and Thunderbolt Corp continued with no signs of abating . It was not an all out war yet, but the people in the business circle observed them with great interest .
They found out that Jin Financial had robbed Thunderbolt Corp of a few projects and even bought some of its shares, but Huo Yunting had not responded in kind . It was all very puzzling .
Xiang Jinxi’s tactics had not eroded Thunderbolt Corp’s foundations, but it was simply not Huo Yunting’s style to play dead .
Xiang Jinxi realized that as well .
Having been defeated by the man before, he knew more than anyone to tread very carefully .
“Lance,” he called .
The man in question came in and greeted in typical Western fashion, “Mr Xiang . ”
“Do something for me, please . ”
“Yes?”
Xiang Jinxi’s gaze turned cold as he said in a low voice, “I want Huo Yunting to be surveilled twenty-four hours a day . You will report to me immediately if something is amiss . Remember to be extra careful and avoid being found out . Huo Yunting is a cunning man and you will do best if you leave your ego out of this!”
Lance straightened himself and nodded firmly .
“Get to it . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Xiang Jinxi stood up and paced around his office . Then, he took his phone and dialed a number .
“Mr Eric . ”
