523: Huo Qichen: I am 95% sure, it is a sure thing this time!!!

Just as Huo Qichen thought he had victory in his grasp!

He didn't notice that Tang Chuan was already dumbfounded, Σ(☉▽☉"a, frozen in place and unmoving.

This was because Huo Qichen's 'pity-pleading' tactic was exactly as his cousin had predicted.

At this moment, Tang Familys Third Young Master once again admired Lin Xuan immensely.

At the same time, his aversion to Huo Qichen grew even deeper.

This scoundrel's acting is really good!

Could he have been specially trained? He's determined to harm me!

If it weren't for his cousin's foresight, he would definitely be played for a fool by this insidious person right now!!!

Tang Chuan gritted his teeth internally, but on his face, he showed 'great shock' and began to display his professional acting skills.

He rushed forward in one stride, tightly grabbing Huo Qichen's arm, his eyes full of anxiety and concern.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing? How can you think like that? This isn't your fault!"

Tang Chuan's voice was firm and powerful: "Brother Chen, listen to me, you're not fighting alone."

"We are good brothers, good brothers who love each other. Whatever difficulties we face, we will face them together."

"How can you give up so easily? Your family needs you, and I need you too."

"Don't worry! I will definitely help with all my might. No matter what difficulties you encounter, we will bear them together."

"Brother Chen, you absolutely must not have thoughts of seeking death again..."

"If you have any difficulties now, just say them, and I'll help you solve them. I'll go through hell and high water for you."

"ヽ(￣ω￣(￣ω￣〃)ゝ When you're out in the world, you have to be loyal. Loyalty comes first. As long as Brother Chen needs me, I'll go through fire and water, no matter the cost!"

"..."

Tang Chuan's brows were tightly furrowed, a vein on his forehead twitched slightly, and his pupils were filled with heartache for his confidant's plight.

On the other side.

Facing Tang Chuan's trusting and worried gaze, Huo Qichen felt both smugness and a hint of guilt internally.

The smugness, of course, came from knowing... this was a sure thing now!!!

Tang Familys Third Young Master had been successfully manipulated by him—

Next, he only needed to make his request naturally.

The guilt, however, arose as the Overbearing CEO suddenly had a fleeting moment of conscience under the gaze of Tang Familys Third Young Master's unwavering trust.

Xiao Chuan trusts him so much, but he only thinks of using him. Is this really okay?

But Huo Qichen's guilt lasted less than 2.5 seconds before it vanished.

As the saying goes:

Every man for himself.

He couldn't afford to think about that much now. At most, he could find an opportunity to compensate Tang Chuan later... "Xiao Chuan, I hope you can help me get some information from Uncle Tang."

"Information?"

Tang Chuan feigned confusion on his face, but in reality, he knew exactly what was going on and sneered inwardly.

It's finally here... You Shitting Overlord God, let's see how this young master plays you to death?!

When it comes to acting, I, Tang Familys Third Young Master, am a professional!

"It's information about the [University City] project. My Huo Family needs it very much right now."

"The specific situation is like this..."

To help Tang Chuan understand the full story quickly, Huo Qichen was concise and sincere.

He recounted the difficulties the Huo Family was currently facing and the importance of the [University City] project to the Huo Family... "Xiao Chuan, I know that making such a request goes against the righteousness and principles that should exist between us brothers."

"But please allow me, in this abyss of despair, to reach out a hand to you."

"To be honest! I never thought that one day I would need to rely on despicable means to save my family."

"But reality is so cruel, every step forces me to make difficult choices."

"That project information is the key to resolving my Huo Family's current predicament."

"It not only concerns the survival of Huo Corporation but also represents the hope for the happiness of countless employees' families."

... "I know it's wrong to ask you to steal, but I truly have no other choice. My internal struggle and pain are no less than yours."

"But I have no retreat; the heavy burden of my family is suffocating me."

"I can only place my hope in you, my most important good younger brother in my life, to lend me a helping hand at this critical moment."

"However, please remember that I respect your every decision. Whether you choose to help me or not, the brotherhood between us will not change because of it."

"But if possible, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I beg you to help me!"

"Xiao Chuan, I know you must have a thousand reluctance and ten thousand difficulties in your heart."

"But please believe that this is only a temporary measure. Once the family overcomes this difficulty, I swear I will repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and repay the Tang Family."

"Xiao Chuan, I'm begging you. This time, I need your strength, your understanding, and your support to help me get through this difficulty."

"Are you willing to give Brother Chen a chance? Ծ ‸ Ծ"

"..."

Facing Huo Qichen's 'sincere and earnest' humble plea.

Tang Chuan's eyes immediately reddened, as if deeply moved by the Overbearing CEO's words, but in reality, he was cursing inwardly.

This Shitting Overlord God!

He's damn good at bluffing; his ability to spout nonsense is truly impressive!

If I hadn't known the truth already, back then, I probably would have really been used by you... ─━_─━✧

Hmph! You want me to help you steal information, do you?

Alright! You don't even need to steal it; I've already prepared a surprise for you!!!

Tang Chuan glanced at the briefcase he brought, sneering internally.

But to prevent the Overbearing CEO from becoming wary and suspicious, he didn't immediately agree to Huo Qichen's humble request. Instead, he decided to follow his cousin's guidance and play hard to get.

Tang Chuan frowned, making a face that clearly showed he was tempted, but due to his own sense of morality, he was also full of internal conflict.

(ー`´ー).

Seeing this, Huo Qichen was ecstatic inside, almost unable to stop his lips from curling into a smirk.

If Tang Chuan had instantly refused him, or agreed without thinking, the Overbearing CEO might have had some doubts.

Instead, this 'playing hard to get' attitude made Huo Qichen confirm his 'victory' on the spot... Today is my wife's birthday, and I sent her a 188 red envelope.

She said it was a bit little, and I said I had no money, then showed her this month's expenses, and she stopped talking.

Sigh, men really need to earn money!

Otherwise, they can't even send red envelopes o(╥﹏╥)o~~~~

She went and bought a cake herself! Guess how much it cost? It was only 20 yuan! Quite cheap...
