593: The last glory of the Huo family [My wife's vacation caused mental exhaustion, so I will resume updating]

As Lin Xuan and the others happily enjoyed their meal at the hospital, on the other side...

The senior executives of the Huo Family were gathered joyfully at the E-grade plot of land, which they had acquired for tens of billions.

At this moment, the area had been cordoned off, with yellow dust filling the air.

Numerous roaring construction vehicles, workers wearing hard hats, and surveyors were busy clearing the site, creating a bustling and vibrant scene.

Inside a temporarily erected building, the high-ranking members of The Huo Clan, with disdainful expressions, all tilted their heads back, revealing their nostrils, exuding an aura of dominance.

They were imperiously scolding and humiliating the managers from several surveying departments in front of them...

"You bunch of good-for-nothings listen up, this land cannot be barren!"

"Hmph! You must have been blind before, which is why you surveyed a treasure land as barren."

"That's right! We're giving you another chance now!"

"If you can't turn this waste into treasure again, then pack your things and get out!"

"A bunch of useless things! All you do is slack off and cut corners!"

"You even made mistakes with such important survey data; you're simply brainless!!!"

..."What are you still standing there for? All of you, get out and work!!!"

"This time, the entire surveying department is being deployed! If you still can't redeem yourselves and continue to do a shoddy job, turning treasure into waste..."

"Then don't blame The Huo Family for being merciless; we will make you hear the echoes of being wiped out to the ninth degree of your relatives—!!!!"

...

Facing the furious curses and utterly undignified humiliation from Huo Tingfeng and others, the managers of the surveying departments looked grim, yet dared not retort, feeling extremely stifled.

They clearly remembered their professional assessment had concluded that this land was indeed of little value, a truly barren plot!

But these clueless senior executives of the Huo Family, who knows what got into them, not only spent an exorbitant price to buy this barren land... they also seized them without explanation, giving them no chance to argue, and immediately launched into a torrent of abuse and foul language.

Grass, a plant.

However, seeing Huo Tingfeng and the others' resolute and unquestionable demeanor, the subordinates also frowned and muttered to themselves.

Could it be that before... they really made a mistake???

For the sake of a few tens of thousands of dollars in monthly 'hush money,' the professionals, filled with resentment and doubt, could only quickly get back to work, taking their surveying instruments and becoming busy on the construction site once more...

After the employees left, the Huo Family executives continued to curse, trying to alleviate their slight unease.

This all-or-nothing gamble was practically betting on the future of the Huo Family.

If it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable—

..."These good-for-nothings! They almost delayed The Huo Family's rise to prominence! Once this is over, we should just fire all of them!"

"Exactly, a bunch of people who take money but don't do work, what's the use of them? If they don't want to work, there are plenty of others who will!"

"Patriarch, when will the official announcement for the University City project be made?"

"The group's cash flow has already broken, and with so much borrowed capital, we simply can't afford to drag this out!"

..."Stop rushing! This isn't something the Patriarch can decide!"

"However, according to unofficial sources, it should be finalized today..."

"Really, truly? Good, good, good! Heaven bless The Huo Family!!!!"

"Heh heh... many factions in the Demon Capital are waiting to see The Huo Family become a laughingstock..."

"Once the true value of this land is revealed to the world, I'd like to see who still dares to oppose The Huo Family!!!!!"

..."Alright! The famous media reporters from the Demon Capital are almost all here..."

"Let's all prepare, and if there are no issues, let's go out and receive them!"

"The Huo Family's current debt problem has become common knowledge."

"Many former partners are skeptical about us spending tens of billions to acquire a barren plot of land, which has severely impacted the company's normal business collaborations."

"We must use this opportunity, with the help of the media, to announce to the public..."

"That what we acquired was not a barren plot, but a priceless treasure land worth hundreds of billions!"

..."So what if we're deeply in debt?"

"The moment the University City project is finalized, everyone will witness The Huo Family's rise with their own eyes!"

"Exactly, exactly, the site for University City cannot be barren land! It must be those useless individuals whose poor skills led to errors in the survey data!"

"Once the latest survey data comes out and proves that this land has great potential..."

"At least for a short period, there'll be no need to worry about troublesome issues like debt collection!"

...

At this point, Huo Tingfeng and the others were all smug, as if they could already see The Huo Clan's bright future of soaring to great heights, dominating the world.

Of course, the Huo Family members at this time still didn't know... that soon, they would experience a sense of despair, a feeling of falling from heaven into hell...

Meanwhile, the outside world, still completely unaware, had many speculations about the Huo Family's unusual behavior.

After all, spending tens of billions to buy a barren plot of land was truly incredible.

A first-tier prominent family like the Huo Family wouldn't, without reason, exhaust their family fortune doing something so self-destructive.

The only reason... was that this land concealed a secret, a huge commercial value unknown to others.

Some well-informed individuals, recalling some rumors from the province, were instantly alarmed.

No way! No way! No way!

Could it be... if it really were like that, wouldn't The Huo Family be on the verge of skyrocketing to success?!!!

...At the construction site, reporters from various famous media outlets in the Demon Capital, carrying their cameras and equipment, arrived one after another.

Watching the large number of sweating workers and the bustling work atmosphere on site, they couldn't help but secretly click their tongues...

"What on earth is The Huo Family up to? Why are they suddenly making such a big fuss on a barren plot of land?"

"At this point, do you still think this is barren land? What barren land is worth tens of billions?"

"But so many professional surveyors estimated it before; it couldn't be wrong, could it?"

"One company making a mistake is understandable, but for so many factions to all be wrong, how incredible would that probability be?"

..."Who knows?!"

"However, since The Huo Family dares to risk bankruptcy, it's enough to show that this land has commercial value that we don't know about..."

"Could it be that some astonishing treasure is buried underground? For example, the imperial tomb of a founding emperor?"

"Otherwise, I really can't think of a reason for The Huo Family's absurd behavior?"

"If they're not careful, The Huo Family's century-old foundation could be ruined in an instant, becoming the laughingstock of the entire Chinese real estate industry, a classic negative example, infamous for ten thousand years..."

"Stop guessing, anyway, The Huo Family definitely won't make a losing deal~~~"

"Today, the Huo Family gathered us here, surely to make an important announcement; I expect our confusion will be resolved soon..."

...

The media reporters were full of curiosity, whispering and holding their own opinions.

The Huo Family was currently precarious, treading on thin ice.

The reason they hadn't yet been 'stabbed in the back' by other forces was mainly because... of apprehension!!!!!!

After all, spending tens of billions to acquire a barren plot of land seemed too incredible to the outside world.

No one believed that the mighty Huo Family was foolish, so if they did this, 95% of the time there was a special reason.

Without thoroughly understanding what The Huo Family was secretly up to... many forces were unwilling to be the first to act, to become the 'cannon fodder' that was the target of all.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the Huo Family to reveal its true intentions...

"Look quickly, the people from The Huo Family are coming out!!!"

Just then, someone shouted excitedly, instantly drawing the attention of countless people present—
