596: Seeking cooperation with the Lin Group? Huo Qichen was brutally beaten!

The Huo Family.

Inside a magnificent room.

Huo Qichen was slumped in his wheelchair, his eyes lecherous as he stared intently at the loli maid washing him.

As the saying goes: a man in a joyful situation is in high spirits.

Ever since he thought he had successfully bid for the site of the University City project, Huo Qichen had been in a great mood.

Mind and body are one.

With his good mood, Huo Qichen suddenly realized that his physical condition seemed to have improved significantly.

His mouth wasn't crooked anymore.

His face wasn't askew.

His speech was also much clearer and more coherent, no longer stuttering incessantly like before.

Everything around him seemed to be slowly developing for the better... This made him even more convinced that he was a chosen one, fully embodying the demeanor of an Overbearing CEO.

He secretly gloated in his heart:

"Whatever doesn't kill me will only make me more overbearing!!!"

"Woman, kneel for me."

"I'm very hot right now, help me put out the fire!"

"..."

Huo Qichen spread his legs, attempting to force the little loli maid in front of him into submission with an undeniable overbearing manner.

Ah... this?!

Oh my goodness o(>﹏<)o~~~~~~~

Faced with Huo Qichen's domineering words, the little loli maid's face turned pale.

Just as she was about to refuse the Overbearing CEO's command to clear her throat, using the excuse that she had bad breath... Bang—

The door was suddenly kicked open, making a huge sound.

Huo Qichen was startled by the sudden sound of the door being kicked open, his whole body trembling.

His originally lecherous face was instantly replaced by anger.

He turned his head to glare at the doorway, about to scold, when he saw a disheveled Huo Tingfeng, his face full of rage, like an enraged male lion, striding aggressively into the room.

Behind him, a group of Huo Family executives were also disheveled and their faces gloomy.

Flames of anger burned in their eyes as they glared fiercely at Huo Qichen, looking as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Seeing this, Huo Qichen's heart "thumped."

He had never seen his usually steady father look so furious.

But he still feigned composure, trying to maintain his former prestige, and shouted in a stern but inwardly timid voice:

"Dad, and all the uncles, what are you doing?"

"Why are you so rudely breaking into my room!"

"..."

Rude?

Hearing this, Huo Tingfeng became even more enraged, walked straight up to Huo Qichen, and gave him a big slap.

The loud sound of the slap echoed in the room.

Huo Qichen felt a burning pain on his face, and he was completely stunned by the blow... "You unfilial son! How dare you talk to me about rudeness?"

"Do you know what good deed you've done? You've screwed the Huo Family over!"

"..."

Huo Tingfeng roared, his voice hoarse with anger.

"What? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a I screwed the Huo Family???" Huo Qichen's narrow eyes widened, and he looked at his father with an incredulous expression, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Why don't I understand? I acquired that land for the family..."

"This is clearly a great achievement, so how could it harm the Huo Family?"

"..."

The Overbearing CEO tried to argue, but his voice already carried a subtle tremor, and his inner unease grew stronger.

His past calm and composed demeanor, the air of being in control of everything, had long vanished.

Slap!!!

"Great achievement? You idiot!"

Huo Tingfeng was furious, and another big slap landed heavily on Huo Qichen's face... "That land is a worthless wasteland!"

"After the most precise surveys, it's a soft marshland underneath, unsuitable for building skyscrapers, with no development value at all!"

"But the Huo Family, because of your incorrect information, invested everything and is now on the verge of bankruptcy, do you understand?!"

"You beast! What did you promise back then? Is this what you called foolproof???"

"And what's with your double insurance? The official website's announcement is already out..."

"The site for the University City project is not this wasteland at all, but the Class A land acquired by Lin Corporation!!!!"

"My Huo Family's century-old foundation has been destroyed because of you!!! You are the family's sinner!!!"

"I should have shot you on your mother's face right then and there, not in her womb—!!!!"

"..."

Huo Tingfeng's face was distorted with rage, wishing he could strangle the unfilial son in front of him.

Because of the other party's foolishness, he, the group CEO who was once above tens of thousands, might have to beg on the streets later... How could he not hate him!!!!!!

On the other side.

Huo Qichen, who learned the truth, suddenly stiffened, as if struck by lightning.

The expression on his face instantly changed from disbelief to panic... "No... impossible! How could this be..."

"The news I received clearly said..."

"This had double insurance! Even if something went wrong with Tang Chuan, that woman Tang Rou surely..."

"Where did it go wrong? Who betrayed me???"

..."Dad... I can't distinguish, I really can't distinguish!!!!"

"It's fake, am I still dreaming? Everything in front of me is fake..."

"Dad, it's April Fools' Day today, you're playing a trick on me, right? All of this is fake..."

"..."

Huo Qichen refused to accept the truth, mumbling incoherently.

In his subconscious, he kept convincing himself that everything he had just heard was an illusion, as if this way he could escape reality.

His hands wanted to struggle, but due to his paralysis, he could only tremble slightly unconsciously.

The armrests of his wheelchair creaked as he gripped them, his knuckles turning white... "Dudu! I'll 'dudu' your mom!!!!"

"You useless piece of trash! How dare you still argue! The Huo Family's century-old foundation is about to be ruined by your hands!!!"

"Quickly think of a solution, otherwise I'll beat you to death right now, you beast!!!!"

"..."

Seeing that the Overbearing CEO was still deceiving himself, the furious Huo Tingfeng had no desire to listen to his unfilial son's explanations.

The anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, uncontrollable.

He grabbed Huo Qichen by the collar, forcefully pulling him from the wheelchair.

Then, punches rained down on the dazed Huo Qichen.

Bang bang bang—

Pain!!!

It hurts so much!!!!!!

Whether physically or mentally, Huo Qichen felt an unbearable pain at this moment.

He couldn't help but cry out in pain—

Begging his enraged father for mercy, while also casting glances of appeal towards the elders of the Huo Family.

Unfortunately, those relatives and uncles who used to fawn over Huo Qichen and flatter him in every way.

Now, they all cast venomous glances at Huo Qichen, wishing they could eat his flesh, drink his blood, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones to dust... This useless person who was good for nothing but ruining things!

The family's sinner!!!

Why doesn't he hurry up and die?!!!!

..."Good hit! Beat this family pest to death!!!"

"Huo Qichen, you jinx! We were truly blind to ever trust you!!!"

"Now, do you still have the nerve to beg for mercy? Give it to me, old man—"

"..."

A white-haired Huo Family executive's face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead.

He roared while raising his leg and kicking Huo Qichen hard in the crotch.

Huo Qichen's eyes instantly widened, and he let out a shrill wail!!!!

His body curled up like a shrimp, but unable to move, he could only silently endure, his face contorted, revealing pain and despair... "That's right! It's all your fault for putting our Huo Family in such a desperate situation! What will you use to compensate us?"

"How can we face our ancestor Hawking?! Why don't you just die?"

"Living is just wasting air, hurry up and die!!!!"

"Do you think you're still the high and mighty Young Master of the Huo Family? Now you are the Huo Family's eternal sinner!!!"

"..."

Another middle-aged executive rushed forward, swinging his fist at Huo Qichen's back, each punch carrying deep resentment.

Bang bang bang—

Regardless of gender, age, or closeness, a group of Huo Clan members, suppressing their towering rage, surrounded the Overbearing CEO and subjected him to a barrage of punches and kicks.

Every blow was delivered with full force, without mercy.

And Huo Qichen, unable to resist, could only scream as he endured the public beating.

His heart was filled with even greater fear and despair.

He simply couldn't accept the reality before him... What he had thought was a brilliant future turned out to be a complete nightmare!!!!!!

Huo Qichen was in tears, collapsing and begging for mercy.

At the same time, he tried to raise his hands to block, but due to his paralysis, he could only watch as the fists rained down, each blow feeling like it struck his broken heart... "No, stop hitting! Please... stop hitting..."

"You... you can't do this to me..."

"..."

The Overbearing CEO's weak pleas for mercy were instantly drowned out by the angry curses of the Huo Family executives.

Everyone was yelling and hitting, while fiercely threatening:

"This family disaster, the culprits are both of you father and son!"

"If we hadn't believed your father and son's lies, how would our Huo Family have fallen to this state?!"

"So no matter what means or methods you use, you two must help the family overcome this crisis."

"Our Huo Family absolutely cannot fall here! If you two father and son cannot give the family an explanation..."

"Then our The Huo Clan will definitely not let you off!!!!"

"..."

Huo Qichen lay helplessly on the ground, his eyes scanning the faces of his usually kind uncles, but all he saw was anger and disgust.

At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of salvation.

His mind was blank, constantly asking himself:

Why?

Why is all this happening???

He had planned everything meticulously, so why did it end up like this?

His past glory, now reduced to being bullied by others... The Overbearing CEO knew that everything was over.

All his pride and dreams turned into fleeting illusions at this moment, leaving only endless regret and despair to spread in his heart... But no matter how self-defeating he was, the rest of the Huo Family members didn't care; they only wanted to force him to come up with a solution to save them.

Especially Huo Tingfeng... Seeing that he too had become the target of the uncles' anger and the family's sinner, suffering verbal attacks and being condemned by all, because of his unfilial son's involvement.

Some clan members even eyed him menacingly, picking up sticks, intending to beat him as well.

Huo Tingfeng was both shocked and enraged, and he hit his Good Son even harder.

"You beast, look what you've dragged me into???"

"Quickly think of a solution! Hurry! Have you thought of it yet? Have you thought of it yet!!!!"

"..."

Facing the continuous barrage of 'fatherly love,' Huo Qichen was also starting to buckle.

He felt that if he didn't stop these madmen, he might actually be beaten to death.

As the saying goes: better a living dog than a dead lion.

Even though he was at his wits' end, a strong will to survive still made Huo Qichen unwilling to give up easily.

Finally, as a punch landed on the back of his head, Huo Qichen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted:

"I have a solution! Stop! I have a solution!"

"Currently, the University City project has just been announced..."

"We can contact Lin Corporation to cooperate and invest before its construction begins, and I'm sure we can get a share of the pie, and our Huo Family won't go bankrupt."

"..."

"Are you sure Lin Corporation will cooperate?" An elder frowned, scoffing and questioning, "Besides, Lin Corporation seems to be very close to Sus, while our relationship with Sus is strained. How could Lin Corporation possibly pay attention to us?"

Huo Qichen, with his silver tongue, immediately retorted:

"Of course they will, Lin's and Sus both primarily operate in the pharmaceutical industry. What do they know about real estate?!"

"Every profession is like a mountain apart! They will surely find it difficult to move forward! And our Huo Family has been cultivating in this industry for many years, our connections and resources are top-notch in the Magic City!"

"Lin Corporation has no reason to refuse us! This is beneficial to both parties and harmless!"

"As for those insignificant minor conflicts? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! Businessmen are all about interests!"

"At worst, we'll give up a bit more profit, and I'm sure Lin Corporation, no matter what, won't turn down money, right?"

"..."

Listening to Huo Qichen's powerful words.

Everyone present was stunned, frowning and thinking... There really was some truth to it?! Who would turn down money?

With a solution in hand, Huo Tingfeng and the others finally calmed down and began discussing the possibility of cooperating with Lin Corporation... Two and a half minutes later, the Huo Family members, who felt that the matter had great potential, finally breathed a huge sigh of relief... "Very well, then let's have someone contact Lin Corporation now!"

"Also, since this matter was caused by you two father and son, it will be up to you to handle it..."

"Hmph! I hope you two father and son don't disappoint the family again!"

"Otherwise, don't blame us for inviting the Old Master and resorting to family law!!!!"

"..."

After everyone finished giving their commands, they patted their backsides and left one after another, leaving behind the grim-faced Huo Family father and son...
