Chapter 189 Huo Shouzhen is back?!
It touched the softest chord in his heart!
His eldest son, Huo Shouzhen, was a soldier who defended the country!
His beloved granddaughter, Su Yue, is now also a military wife!
These bastards not only want to harm his granddaughter, but also want to use the blood of the soldiers his son protected with his life to stain their official hats!
"Yueyue, don't be afraid!"
Old Master Huo's voice was filled with overwhelming anger and an unquestionable determination.
"Don't worry about this! Leave it to Grandpa!"
"No one can touch the Huo family!"
After hanging up the phone, Old Master Huo's dignified face was now icy cold.
He pressed a red button on the table.
In less than three minutes, all the core members of the Huo family in Hong Kong, including his second son Huo Shouxin, rushed into the study with tense expressions.
"Dad, what happened?"
Old Master Huo didn't waste any words; his eyes, sharp as knives, swept over everyone present.
"Pass on my message!"
"At all costs, using all available resources!"
"Investigate the Zhou family for me, and find out all their related businesses in Hong Kong and overseas!"
"Once you find out, short it! Smash it like crazy!"
His thin fingers tapped heavily on the table, making a dull sound.
"I want him to be so destitute he won't even have a pair of underwear left!"
"I'll show him what happens to anyone who messes with the Huo family!"
With a single command, the entire financial sector of Hong Kong was thrown into turmoil!
The Huo family, a business tycoon that has dominated Hong Kong for decades and whose mere presence can shake the stock market, has for the first time revealed its most ferocious fangs.
Countless funds flooded into the stock market like a tidal wave, with only one target—the Zhou family's company listed in Hong Kong.
A war without gunfire, yet more brutal than any real battle, broke out in an instant!
Countless sell orders rained down like snowflakes, leaving Zhou's stock price powerless to resist, plummeting all the way down!
The Huo family's top financial team, like a group of sharks that have smelled blood, is tearing at the enemy with madness.
Sell off!
Short sell!
Spreading negative news!
Every move was precisely aimed at the Zhou family's Achilles' heel.
The Zhou family's company in Hong Kong was nothing more than a "money bag" for their family to amass wealth. Compared to the behemoth that was the Huo family, it was as insignificant as an ant.
In just one day.
The stock price plummeted by 70%!
The market value has evaporated by more than half!
Countless investors cried out in despair, frantically selling their shares, creating a terrifying stampede effect.
The company is on the verge of bankruptcy!
...
In the office of Deputy Commander Zhou in Beijing.
He was leisurely sipping his finest Longjing tea, waiting for "good news" to come from Hainan Island.
He had even planned how, when the medical malpractice incident broke out, he would stand up "heartbrokenly" and completely crush the Gu family and Su Yue into the mud.
Just then, the red telephone on the table started ringing like crazy.
He answered impatiently.
On the other end of the phone, he heard his son's heart-wrenching cries.
"Dad! It's all over! Everything's over!"
"Our company... is gone! The stock... the stock is like worthless paper now!"
"Someone is targeting us! It's the Fok family! The Fok family from Hong Kong! They've gone mad! They're insane!"
Deputy Commander Zhou's mind went blank for a moment, and he almost choked on his breath, nearly suffering a heart attack on the spot.
The Huo family?
The Fok family of Hong Kong?
How did he end up offending this evil spirit?
He just wanted to deal with a tiny pharmaceutical factory on a godforsaken island!
How could this have attracted such a devastating attack from a Hong Kong tycoon?
Su Yue...
Yes! It's Su Yue!
She is not only the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, but also the precious granddaughter that the Huo family just recognized and cherished!
At that moment, Deputy Commander Zhou's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He finally realized that he hadn't kicked a steel plate, but a live volcano covered in a camouflage net!
He wanted to stop.
But it was all too late.
...
Meanwhile, on Hainan Island, thousands of miles away...
A huge crisis is being resolved silently.
Gu Beichen mobilized the military region's resources, and several military helicopters roared into the night, speeding towards the northward transport route.
Before dawn, the military vehicles carrying a thousand poison patches were successfully intercepted en route.
Every single problematic patch has been recovered!
No injuries were reported.
A major medical accident that could have caused a huge uproar was wiped out by Su Yue from thousands of miles away with just a few words.
Inside the pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory.
Chief Engineer He and a group of technicians were now looking at Su Yue with the same disdain they would show a goddess.
Under Su Yue's remote guidance over the phone, they carefully isolated the extremely concealed neurotoxin from the problematic medicinal materials while wearing gas masks.
The evidence is irrefutable!
"Investigate the source of these medicinal herbs!"
Su Yue's voice came through the phone, cold and decisive.
"We'll dig three feet into the ground and find that supplier!"
With the intervention of the military region, the supplier who provided the problematic raw materials was apprehended from a black market operation in less than half a day.
The man was just a low-level henchman. Several uniformed guards pushed him into the interrogation room, and before any torture could even begin, he was so terrified that he wet himself and spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.
The clues were passed up the chain of command.
Ultimately, all the evidence pointed to a material allocation department in Beijing.
The head of that department was a trusted confidant whom Deputy Commander Zhou had personally promoted!
Gu Family Study.
Gu Zhengfeng looked at the freshly produced confession on the table, and then at another emergency report about the Hong Kong stock market storm. A cold smile appeared on his usually stern face.
He organized the two documents and put them into a brown paper bag.
"Come on, come with me somewhere."
He looked at Gu Beichen.
The father and son exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.
One of these two pieces of evidence is irrefutable proof of treason and collusion with the enemy, while the other is a demonstration of the Huo family's overwhelming power.
All of this combined is enough to completely nail Deputy Commander Zhou to the pillar of shame!
...
In Deputy Commander Zhou's office, he was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
He kept making phone calls, trying to contact his extensive network of contacts in an attempt to recover the losses and quell the Huo family's anger.
However, all his calls went unanswered.
No one dared to answer.
No one dared to have anything to do with him at this time.
He knew he was finished.
The only way is to sacrifice the pawns to save the king, shifting all the blame onto his subordinates in order to protect himself.
Just as he was preparing to make a final stand, someone he never expected returned.
Beijing West Suburbs Airport.
A secret flight without any markings landed quietly under the cover of night.
The hatch opened.
A middle-aged man with a weathered face and a thin build, but with eyes as sharp as a hawk, slowly walked down the gangway.
He was wearing a faded old Zhongshan suit and cloth shoes.
Twenty-three years of hardship have etched deep marks on his face, but his straight spine still carries the unique tenacity and indomitable spirit of a soldier.
He looked up at the waning moon in the Beijing night sky, inhaling the murky air into his lungs, which carried an unfamiliar smell.
He reached out his hand, as if trying to grab something.
In the end, he simply clenched his fist slowly and murmured in a barely audible voice.
"I am Huo Shouzhen."
"I'm back."
