"If you don"t think highly of your son, then even if you s.n.a.t.c.h the Hauptmann"s away and pa.s.s it to me, I might not be able to hold on."
"You brat, don"t try to talk back. Let me tell you, hurry up. My patience is limited." Hogan said with a straight face.
"Understood, Lord Father. Please be at ease and wait for my good news." Huo Jia Bao blinked his eyes, then stood up and left the conference room.
Just as he stepped out of the door, caught him red-handed. Huo Xi Wen stood in front of him and looked at him fiercely with eyes full of coercion: "What are you saying to uncle inside?"
"Nothing." Huo Jia Bao said perfunctorily.
"Tell me honestly, are you planning to harm me?" Huo Xi Wen didn"t believe him.
"Yeah, we"re talking about how to get rid of you. You"d better be careful. " Huo Jia Bao rolled his eyes at her, and slapped her on the head with his palm, pus.h.i.+ng her away from him as he walked away with large strides.
Huo Xi Wen watched his leaving figure. His footsteps were firm, her head held high and her chest puffed up. She did not look the least bit guilty.Otherwise, his reaction wouldn"t have been so casual.
Three days after Huo Xi Wen"s declaration, the business world was in turmoil.
There were many businesses that had a cooperative relations.h.i.+p with the Hauptmann"s. Because of the Hauptmann"s, they had worked together with him a lot.
However, after the clear declaration was made, all the big and small businesses acted under Huo Jia Bao"s pressure and acted accordingly, afraid that they would offend the big customer, the Hauptmann"s, and break their contracts with Ming Yuan one after another.
In an instant, the Ming Yuan Group"s situation became exceptionally difficult.
The stock price continued to drop. Previously, because of the good news from being in a relations.h.i.+p with Huo Xi Wen, in a few days, it had fallen to the bottom.
Everyone was waiting to see how long the Ming Yuan Group could struggle and how long the Zhang Family could hold on.
But strangely, although the Ming Yuan Group"s business had been greatly affected, there weren"t any major problems with its operation, and everything was still going on.
This made everyone puzzled. They began to guess that there were people supporting the Zhang Clan from behind the scenes.
In these past few days, because Huo Xi Wen had been worried about retaliation, Huo Xi Wen had basically become a company and a home.
Not only her, even Mrs. Howe Zhou Wan Ru had come out of his seclusion and under the protection of his bodyguards, nothing had happened.
As the days gradually calmed down, Huo Xi Wen started to suspect if Zhang Jun Xian"s previous threat to her was only to scare her.
Until late that night, her cell phone received a message and opened it to reveal a photo.
The person in the photo was none other than her good friend, He Mei Xin.
He Mei Xin"s hands were tied behind her back and she was sitting on a chair with a cloth covering her mouth. She looked at He Mei Xin with her watery, almond-shaped eyes that were filled with fear.
Huo Xi Wen was so frightened by the photo that she immediately stopped dozing. She instantly sat up and switched on the light.
Not two seconds later, his phone rang again. It was still a text message, "Want to save your friend?" Now, come to Lid Hotel # 999. Remember, if you don"t want anything to happen to your friend, you"d better come alone. "
Huo Xi Wen was anxious and angry at the same time, her hand holding the phone was shaking non-stop.
Opening the phone book, she first called He Mei Xin.
The phone was turned off. It seemed like the photo was of her, so it shouldn"t be fake.
Then, she called Zhang Jun Xian.
The phone rang twice, then it connected. Zhang Jun Xian"s lazy voice came from inside: "Miss Huo, good evening. You"re calling at this time, are you thinking of me? "
"Zhang Jun Xian, stop pretending. Tell me, where did you take Mei Xin to? You let her go, you hear? " Huo Xi Wen roared angrily into the phone.
"What did you say?" Why can"t I understand it at all? "
"I know you did it, you don"t have to pretend. Tell me, what do you want to do before you are willing to release Mei Xin?" Huo Xi Wen really wanted to rush in front of him and tear the disguise on his face.
This man was too despicable, knowing that she was on guard and had no chance to make a move, he had actually set his sights on He Mei Xin.
"What is it? Didn"t the kidnapper tell you what to do? " Zhang Jun Xian said, laughing on the other end of the phone.
What he said was tantamount to admitting that he was the one who kidnapped them.
"Zhang Jun Xian, you better release that person immediately. Otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it." Huo Xi Wen said as she gnashed her teeth.
"Really?" I"m looking forward to what you can do that will make me regret. Oh, that"s right. Remember to bring me a bottle of red wine when you come over. I haven"t seen you for a few days, so you didn"t miss me. After Zhang Jun Xian finished speaking, he immediately hung up.
Huo Xi Wen"s teeth itched with hatred in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
This guy was just as he had said. He had no bottom line for doing things.
Should she go to the Lydd or not?
But if she doesn"t go, what about Mei Xin?
But if she went, and something terrible happened, she wouldn"t be able to deal with it all by herself.
What should he do?
What should she do?
Once again picking up the phone, she dialed Huo Jia Bao"s number. He Mei Xin was his secretary, so he should help at such a crucial moment.
The phone rang for a long time before it connected. Huo Jia Bao"s impatient voice came from inside, "Who is it? It"s so late, aren"t you looking to die? "
"Huo Jia Bao, it"s me, Mei Xin, something happened to Mei Xin." Huo Xi Wen said.
"What happened? What does He Mei Xin"s accident have to do with me? " Huo Jia Bao was obviously still drowsy at the moment, and his tone was a little muddled.
"She was kidnapped by Zhang Jun Xian." Huo Xi Wen said loudly.
"So what if I"m tied up, it has nothing to do with me. Don"t disturb my sleep …" Huo Jia Bao said casually, and was about to hang up.
"She"s your secretary, Zhang Jun Xian kidnapped your people, he"s taking revenge on you." Huo Xi Wen understood Huo Jia Bao, and knew that this guy"s character was like a hen, protecting its food.
As long as it was his, even if he threw it away, he would not like anyone to touch it without his permission.
Sure enough, after hearing what Huo Xi Wen said, he immediately became spirited, "Say it again, what actually happened?"
"Zhang Jun Xian kidnapped Mei Xin and he told me to go to the Lyd Hotel with him. He also warned me not to call the police and that if I were to call them, Mei Xin would be in danger." Huo Xi Wen told him Zhang Jun Xian"s instructions.
Huo Jia Bao heard and said, "This grandson sure has guts, even daring to touch my people. "You wait at home, I"ll pick you up right now and accompany you to meet that brat."
