"You?" He was shocked, glancing at Huo Zhiyan and then at him, speechless. "Gu...Gu Mang?!"

Gu Mang was wearing a well-fitting suit, and his hair was neatly styled.

Standing there, he could indeed be Huo Zhixing's stand-in.

But the sleazy look in his eyes, the evasiveness in his bones, and the humility in his bones were worlds apart from Huo Zhixing!

"Heh... Shan, Brother Shan!" Gu Mang said with a fawning smile, still showing the same hopeless attitude he had towards Lu Lishan.

Lu Lishan looked at him and saw that he was indeed missing a finger; his left hand was covered with a finger cot.

"How is it?" Huo Zhiyan asked smugly, walking over and patting Gu Mang on the shoulder. "Isn't it convincing enough to fool anyone?"

Lu Lishan took a deep breath and licked his lips. "Young Master, this..."

"As long as you secretly get rid of Huo Zhixing, he can be used by us in the future!"

Now that things had come to this, Lu Lishan finally understood Huo Zhiyan's plan.

Get rid of Huo Zhixing and replace him with Gu Mang, then Gu Mang will become Huo Zhiyan's puppet!

“Young Master,” Lu Lishan curled his lips in disdain, “you don’t really think your grandfather’s eyesight has deteriorated to this extent, do you?”

"Huo Wenyuan is the renowned head of the Huo family! What storms hasn't he weathered in his life? You're replacing his successor with such a useless person, doesn't he suspect something? He may be old, but he's not stupid!"

Lu Lishan once thought that Huo Zhiyan might have a screw loose.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Huo Zhiyan's sinister smile. He suddenly realized that the only way to avert Old Master Huo's suspicion might be...

Eliminate Huo Wenyuan as well?
