Chapter 248 The Plan to Use One Tiger to Devour Another

"gentlemen!!!"

When the bodyguard arrived with a grim face to deliver the message, the man was discussing with his confidant when to launch a siege against Huo Fenglin, forcing him to step down with the lowest risk.

Hearing the bodyguard's hurried voice, the man's expression darkened. "What kind of behavior is this, all this panic?"

"Just now, Madam Huo... your eldest sister..." the bodyguard explained with a forced smile, "brought people to forcibly break through our guards at the manor and took the young master away directly."

The man stood up abruptly. "What did you say?"

"She bypassed the police and cooperated directly with the military, using our illegal imprisonment as a pretext to forcibly take away the young master..." The bodyguard felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the lady's nonchalant words and the action team behind her.

That woman was originally in the foreign trade business, and she had a very strong network of connections in the city. Coupled with her husband, who was in the arms business, it was a piece of cake for her to make connections with the military.

"Huo Fenglin asked her for help, has he gone mad?!" The man's face was full of disbelief.

The only way to persuade a woman who only cares about profit is to promise her something that will win her over.

But what else can move a woman who is already in a high position?

Only Huo Fenglin holds the position of head of the family.

To avoid gaining favor himself, he dragged everyone else down with him?!

The man slammed his fist on the table.

After a moment, he calmed himself down and said, "Send someone to find out their next plan."

"Don't alert the enemy."

The bodyguard obeyed and left.

...

【_How about it? 】

The mechanical sphere floated outside the treatment chamber, and upon seeing the door slowly open, it immediately flew over.

"The tendon repair is almost complete... but the muscle still needs time to recover."

Xin Que raised her thin hand and made a grasping gesture.

It can move smoothly, but it can't exert much strength.

She's practically a cripple now.

His email arrived.

Huo Fenglin's uncle became suspicious of Huo Fenglin's identity, but fortunately, there were no traces of the Huo family on him, so he passed this test.

He's now connected with Huo Fenglin's aunt...and asking you about his next plans.

Xin Que got up and left the treatment pod. "Huo Fenglin's aunt? The one who's in trade?"

Just as Cheng Zheng was about to reply, Xin Que grabbed him and stuffed him into her pocket, saying, "Let him move around freely."

After leaving the air-raid shelter where he was hiding, Xin Que changed his camouflage and drove back to the lower level area.

“Another group of people are chasing her,” the shop owner said, still with that dismissive attitude. “Go back and tell your boss that if she can’t offer a better price, don’t blame us for turning our backs on her.”

Xin Que laughed, "How much is Xin Que's head worth now? I'll pay double that to ensure she spends a week safely in Shangcheng."

“The black market price has already reached 65 million,” the shop owner said, glancing at Xin Que. “Oh, an old customer.”

"He's not completely dead after all."

Xin Que handed the bank card to the shop owner, "For the sake of being a regular customer, how about a deposit transaction?"

"The final payment will be transferred to your account this week... If Mr. Xin goes back on his word, you can take his head as you please."

As she spoke, Xin Que showed the shop owner the communicator that had displayed the information, "By the way, could you also check out her businesses for me?"

The shop owner reached out and took the bank card with the code number 13 written on it, then took out a communicator from the counter drawer that looked completely out of place in the kitchenware store.

"Let's go to the Star-Seeking Tower by the river." The shop owner hung up the phone and waved to Xin Que. "Remember to keep your promise before the weekend."

"Thank you." Xin Que nodded.

"The contract starts tomorrow, this is a bonus for you." The shop owner tossed her a small box.

Xin Que stuffed the box into her handbag and left without looking back.

"[An old-fashioned revolver? And only one bullet left.]" Cheng Zheng pulled it out of his pocket and scanned the small box in her bag.

The crosshair is nowhere near as good as the new weapons; you don't plan to take it...

Xin Que glanced at the black car following closely in the rearview mirror. "Its aiming is sufficient within a three-meter range. It's perfectly fine as start-up capital."

"Cheng Zheng, find a way to hack into his vehicle system."

When the car reached an open section of road, the black car immediately stepped on the gas and sped up next to Xin Que.

The car window rolled down quickly, and just as the muzzle of the gun in the passenger seat was positioned against the car frame at the expected distance, Xin Que, without looking to the side, turned the steering wheel to the left.

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the pavement, leaving a glaring black scratch on the clean surface.

The assassin driving the black car immediately followed Xin Que's movements and veered to the left.

"Bang."

The sound of gunshots produced by the silencer is not very harsh.

But the bullet did not blow Xin Que's head off as the assassin in the co-pilot had predicted.

"What's going on?!" The co-pilot quickly adjusted his firing position, turning back to yell at his companion, "Why did you brake like that?!"

The assassin in the driver's seat accelerated again, trying to catch up with Xin Que. "It wasn't my fault, it was the braking system..."

"Bang!!!"

The gunshot from the old pistol was extremely piercing.

The passenger was thrown backward by the recoil of the bullet, falling heavily onto the man in the driver's seat, the bloody hole on his forehead a horrifying sight.

"Hold!!!"

The man didn't bother to look at his companion's death. He cursed and was about to turn his head to look at Xin Que's car when Xin Que suddenly turned the steering wheel and rammed the black car that was driving alongside him.

...

【Can't you value your life a little more?!】

Cheng Zheng's furious voice echoed throughout Xin Que's consciousness: "Even with airbags, you wouldn't have crashed like that!!!"

Xin Que tossed aside the empty revolver in her hand and, biting her dagger, crawled into the deformed black car.

Upon finding the man on the verge of death, Xin Que's eyes lit up.

With a swift stroke, Xin Que finished him off and then searched the equipment in his car.

“Starting a business is risky,” Xin Que put away her guns and ammunition and returned to her car. “Besides, I know what I’m doing.”

"My car can still be driven, can't it?"

Cheng Zheng floated out and looked at Xin Que's car, whose hood was deformed and whose doors were dented, and was completely speechless.

After a while, he returned to his car.

The engine is not broken.

The car re-entered the road.

...

Feng Caijun followed Huo Fenglin toward the Star-Seeking Tower, a landmark building on the banks of the Shangcheng River.

The hotels, restaurants, and various entertainment venues on the Star-Seeking Tower all belong to Aunt Huo Fenglin.

Stepping out of the transparent elevator, Huo Fenglin led his men behind the wealthy lady into the lavishly decorated revolving restaurant.

Standing in front of the seemingly empty panoramic glass, you can take in the entire riverside scenery.

"sit."

The elegant lady took her seat in the main seat of the private room and gestured for Huo Fenglin to sit down.

Huo Fenglin sat down opposite her with utmost respect.

"Aunt, I'll get straight to the point." Huo Fenglin handed the information he had compiled yesterday to the noble lady.

"My uncle is too ambitious; he's trying to seize the position of family head..."

The well-maintained lady's expression was indifferent, and her voice was icy as she interrupted Huo Fenglin, "His ambition is too great. What about you?"

Huo Fenglin's smile showed only respect, without revealing a single flaw. "I know that I am of mediocre talent and only know how to squander the family business. I have no ability to manage the family business. In order for the Huo family to reach a higher level... it is better for the capable to take the lead."

“My aunt has extensive connections both inside and outside the city, and she was able to grow my uncle’s originally small arms business into the position that everyone respects today. She is even very successful in the military. Who can compare to you in terms of both literary and military prowess?”
