525: Huo Qichen has officially stepped into the abyss! [Editing in progress]

After confirming that both sides had played their parts sufficiently… Tang Chuan sneered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

He even deliberately deepened the look of pity on his face, as if genuinely moved by the profound affection between the master and servant.

He quickly stepped forward to help Butler Fu up, speaking earnestly.

"Butler Fu, please get up quickly, what are you doing? Isn't this shortening my lifespan?"

"Qi Chen and I are already good brothers; it's only right and proper for me to help him."

"..."

Huo Qichen was ecstatic upon hearing this.

However, he showed just the right amount of emotion on his face, along with a 'playing hard to get' expression... "Xiao Chuan, I'm very happy to hear that you're willing to help Brother Chen."

"But Brother Chen thought about it carefully and still can't instigate you to do something so morally reprehensible."

"Therefore, please pretend you didn't hear what I just asked, and let's forget about it!"

"As the saying goes: what is destined to be will be, and what is not destined should not be forced."

"If my Huo Family is truly destined for this calamity, then no matter how much we try to avoid it, it won't be escaped."

"How can I be so selfish as to make you a thief? That's not right, not right at all!"

"..."

Beside them, Butler Fu wiped his tears while loudly exclaiming: "Young Master, you must think twice (꒦_꒦)~~~~"

In reality, he was smug, feeling that their master-servant cooperation was flawless.

Tang Familys Third Young Master had been completely played by them.

On the other side, Tang Chuan lightly coughed.

The brows that had been furrowed for most of the day finally relaxed, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Brother Chen, Butler Fu, the bond between you two truly moves me."

"To be honest! Before coming to this banquet today, I vaguely guessed that Brother Chen would have a request, and I had already prepared myself to lend a helping hand."

"After all, we are good brothers, aren't we? Don't decline any further! Unless you don't want to acknowledge me as your younger brother!"

"..."

Tang Chuan feigned anger, giving off an air that if he wasn't allowed to help, their friendship would be severed.

Seeing this, Huo Qichen grew even more delighted, feeling that his 'pity-seeking plan' was remarkably effective.

A hint of arrogant curve inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly reined it in, replacing it with an even more sincere expression:

"Xiao Chuan, sigh... Since you are so loyal, then Brother Chen won't be a stranger to you."

"Great kindness needs no words of thanks! Xiao Chuan, your righteous act today, I, Huo Qichen, will engrave it in my heart and will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

"..."

Beside them, seeing Tang Chuan take the bait, Butler Fu revealed a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, his acting in full swing.

"Young Master Tang, you truly are a person who values affection and loyalty!"

"This old servant has lived most of his life, and young people as loyal as you are rarely seen anymore."

"It's truly his good fortune, cultivated over several lifetimes, for the Young Master to have a friend like you."

"..."

After speaking, Butler Fu turned around and deliberately said to Huo Qichen in the wheelchair:

"Young Master, look, how loyal and courageous is Young Master Tang?!"

"For you, he is willing to go against his own conscience. This is a true friend, truly going through fire and water for you!"

"With such a good friend as Young Master Tang by your side, why worry about not achieving great things? It's truly the blessing of the Huo Family's ancestors, and the Huo Family's ancestral grave is emitting green smoke!!!"

"..."

Hmph!

What a perfectly coordinated act; these two are quite in sync with their acting!

Too bad, I saw through it in an instant; I knew right away that you two don't deserve to be human!!!!

Recalling Huo Qichen's private persecution of his own family, Tang Chuan's heart was filled with rage.

But out of an actor's self-cultivation, his face still showed deep worry.

After a moment of contemplation, Tang Chuan feigned a solemn expression and took out a document he had prepared earlier from his briefcase, handing it to the astonished Butler Fu...
