Chapter 648 Updated
Zhou Suihuai was stunned and stopped.
"You mean... Huo Lan likes Huo Wuzun?"
"But, they are brother and sister."
Bian Zhi was curled up in the passenger seat, feeling lazy. The jet lag made her a little sleepy.
"It's not a kiss, is it?"
This time when coming to North America, Bian Zhi has two things to do.
The first is to completely take over the Huo family and dismantle the Huo family alliance.
The second thing is to find out who drugged Huo Wuzun back then.
For some reason, Bian Zhi felt from the first moment he saw Huo Lan that this person was not simple and had a scheming mind.
But the information she got about Holland from the intelligence agency showed that this person was very ordinary in every way.
This made Bian Zhi wonder if he was wrong.
"That's right," Zhou Suihuai looked at Bian Zhi's sleepy face and raised his hand to rub her head. "If you're sleepy, just sleep. Things will eventually work out."
Bian Zhi nodded.
When the car arrived at the purchased villa, Bian Zhi was already asleep. Zhou Suihuai didn't wake her up and directly carried her out of the car.
At the door, Zhou Suihuai stopped, squinted his eyes unhappily and looked at the person standing opposite him. He gently clasped his hands and hugged Bian Zhi tighter.
Huo Tianyao was also very upset.
But his legs couldn't be left untreated, so he followed eagerly.
Just about to speak.
Zhou Suihuai walked right past him.
Huo Tianyao, "..."
Speak again.
The housekeeper at the door had already opened the door, and Zhou Suihuai walked straight in. Huo Tianyao became anxious.
"I……"
With just one word, the person holding the person turned his head.
There was a cold questioning look in his eyes and an overwhelming displeasure on his face, which made Huo Tianyao stunned for a moment.
The person in his arms seemed to stir because of the noise, but because he was too sleepy, he didn't open his eyes. After rubbing against Zhou Suihuai's arms, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you leave?"
The man who had just had a stormy face suddenly relaxed because of these words.
Tenderness can be seen when she lowered her head, and her voice was very low, with obvious coaxing, "It's okay, a cat passed by."
"oh……"
After this, Bian Zhi fell asleep again.
Zhou Suihuai took a step and walked up the stairs steadily.
Huo Tianyao, "..."
Who the hell is a cat!
And, is there any courtesy? His legs! It's urgent! How could it be less important than jet lag?
But the violent look in Zhou Suihuai's eyes just now looked quite scary.
He also thought that this Zhou Suihuai was a good-tempered person. After all, he had been trapped in the club for so many days, and his mood had always been calm and gentle, and he didn't look like he had a bad temper at all.
Huo Tianyao was indeed a little annoyed. He had been frequently disliked recently, which made him doubt his life.
When he wanted to follow him upstairs, the housekeeper stood at the stairs and raised his hand to stop him.
"Uncle Li, I don't have to go up there. Look at my legs. They've changed color. If I don't let Bian Zhi fix it for me, I'll have different lengths of legs."
The housekeeper heard this.
Smile slightly.
The movement of raising the hand remained motionless.
Huo Tianyao was anxious. "Uncle Li, if we talk about friendship, I have known you for many years, and you have only known this Bian Zhi for a few days. She is a woman after all. She has money, but how long can she be so arrogant? The long-term operation of the Huo family depends on ability!"
The housekeeper heard this.
Looking at Huo Tianyao lightly, he didn't even think about it and said directly, "I know."
Huo Tianyao, "Then you..."
"Why do you think I stopped you?"
Huo Tianyao, "..."
"That's because I know exactly who controls the future of the Huo family."
"Second Young Master, you have many shortcomings, but there is one thing you are good at: you have self-awareness and can judge the situation."
Huo Tianyao seemed to say, these are two advantages.
Then he heard the butler say, "So, what you should consider now is, if you can't win, then join. That way, you can save your legs."
Huo Tianyao's mouth twitched, "You want me to submit to the little girl?"
The housekeeper looked straight at Huo Tianyao and added for him, "Well, people may not be willing to play with you."
Huo Tianyao, "!!!"
After thinking for a few seconds.
Dejected and frustrated, "..."
"I surrendered before. When I was a poisonous scorpion, she looked down on me."
The housekeeper nodded, "Perhaps, if she is unwilling to give you face, she will be willing to give it to Huo Wuzun."
Huo Tianyao took a breath when he heard it.
"What a joke!"
"You want me to ask Huo Wuzun for a favor and try to get close to Bian Zhi? If others find out, I'll be humiliated! Everyone knows that in the entire Huo family, Huo Wuzun and I are the worst match!"
"It's fine if I just try to please his daughter, but I have to please Huo Wuzun. I'd rather die than not!"
Butler, "Oh."
By the way, he lowered his eyes and looked at Huo Tianyao's legs wrapped like pig's trotters.
He said sarcastically, "It doesn't cost a life, it's just a matter of length."
Huo Tianyao gasped.
The butler continued to finish off the opponent. "It should be," he said halfway, then looked up with a sincere expression, "Not too much of a hindrance?"
Huo Tianyao was so angry that he was about to die!
"Uncle Li, who did you learn this weird attitude from? You're trying to piss me off to death!"
The butler fell silent.
Now at the stairs, he raised his hands and refused to give in.
Huo Tianyao didn't dare to offend the butler, after all, he was the old man's confidant.
Huo Tianyao could only sit back on the sofa in a depressed mood, stretching his neck to wait for Bian Zhi to come down.
This wait lasted a whole day.
Huo Tianyao really collapsed.
If he remembered correctly, Bian Zhi said that there was only one day left, otherwise, she would be powerless.
Huo Tianyao wanted to force his way in, but the housekeeper refused. While the two were arguing, Bian Zhi woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and appeared at the stairs.
Huo Tianyao had been waiting for the entire night, and when he saw Bian Zhi, he felt like he was seeing a relative, and he almost cried with excitement.
"Ancestor! You're finally awake! If you don't wake up, my leg will be useless!"
Bian Zhi went downstairs with a calm expression and poured himself a glass of boiled water. "Have you figured it out?"
Huo Tianyao paused, his expression difficult.
Bian Zhi knew from his behavior that he had not thought it through, so he drank a sip of water and walked to the sofa to sit down. Huo Tianyao scratched his head anxiously.
Bian Zhi's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, which made Huo Tianyao a little annoyed.
This girl was so cunning that he was at a loss as to how to trick her to achieve his goal.
Bian Zhi took a sip of water, his eyelashes drooping slightly, and said in a very soft voice, "I came to the Huo family to destroy you, so saving you was not part of the plan."
Huo Tianyao, "..." Such a direct and impolite opening remark.
"Although I didn't recognize Huo Wuzun, I did recognize Bian Yaoyao. Anyway, they have a good relationship. If they really get married, calling me dad is a matter of time."
When Bian Zhi said this, he raised his eyes slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"I heard that you used to bully him the most?"
Huo Tianyao's heart skipped a beat.
Bian Zhi continued, "Tell me, how should I settle this account with you?"
Unlike Huo Tianyao's pale face, the butler listened to Bian Zhi's words with a smile, thinking that it was just as the old man expected.
This girl is still soft-hearted.
"However," Bian Zhi spoke again, "I have also promised the old man that I will give you a chance to surrender. After all, you are a member of the Huo family. I can give you face and withdraw from the Huo family. You can take your own private property, and the Huo family will hold a 1% stake."
Huo Tianyao almost had a heart attack when he heard these numbers!
One percent!
"Do you know how many shares I have in the Huo family?!"
Openly, he holds 15%, and the shares he collected privately hold 5%, for a total of 20%!
Bian Zhi will give him one percent!
I don’t want this leg!
"Well, one percent." Compared to Huo Tianyao's collapse, Bian Zhi was very calm, and still spoke in that calm tone. "But I'm not the kind of person who would go too far. Give me the shares and I'll give you a discount."
Huo Tianyao frowned.
"Do you think I'm really stupid?"
"Money is dead. Shares are the hen that makes money. You can't exchange them for cash with me."
Bian Zhi nodded, "Okay, then are you sure you don't want this opportunity to surrender?"
"The Huo family will be mine sooner or later. I can come up with over 2 billion to cover the loan today, and tomorrow, I can sell the Huo family at a low price. After a round of resale, the Huo family will still be in my hands. However, you all have to get out of the Huo family naked. I'm just saying this casually. It's up to you whether you want to seize the opportunity or not."
After saying that, Bian Zhi stood up.
Huo Tianyao was a little anxious.
With the methods used by the Poison Scorpion, it is not completely impossible to crush the Huo family. If it is really as Bian Zhi said, then they will all be so poor that they will have to beg on the streets.
"How about leaving me 5%?"
Huo Tianyao has a plan in mind.
His public share is 15%, so if I leave him 5%, plus the 5% he gets privately, he still has 10%, which I think is acceptable.
Huo Tianyao looked at Bian Zhi eagerly, but Bian Zhi's expression remained cold. "Are you kidding?"
Huo Tianyao was stunned.
"You know how much you have, and so do I. Give me 19 percent, no negotiation."
Huo Tianyao opened his mouth wide, "You, how did you know!"
Huo Wuzun didn't know about his private shareholding, nor did anyone in the Huo family, not even his sons knew about it.
Bian Zhi did not answer, but only gave the choice.
"Well, do you think this is okay?"
"No," he said decisively. Bian Zhi walked upstairs.
"Why……"
"I haven't said anything yet, why do you say no?"
"Look, I need help in the company, right? I..." Huo Tianyao changed sides without any moral integrity. "Look at my bad temper. Those people don't dare to mess with me. Would you consider it?"
Bian Zhi walked upstairs without pausing for a moment.
"Hey," Huo Tianyao was so anxious, "I know a secret about Huo Tianyao! I'll trade with you and give you 10% of the shares!"
Bian Zhi paused, his eyes looking down.
"Really, I'm the only one who knows about this. Don't you want to know?"
"Huo Wuzun has been in love with your mother for many years, but in the end, he was unable to fulfill his wish. During that time, he returned to China. I heard that he was attending a cocktail party and originally planned to bring your mother back. However, in the end, Huo Wuzun returned alone, and began his single life for more than ten years. Aren't you curious about what happened at that time?"
Bian Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "You know?"
Anyone who can say the word "cocktail party" usually knows some inside information.
Bian Zhi's heart was moved, but his face remained calm.
"I know, um..." Facing Bian Zhi's sharp and scrutinizing eyes, Huo Tianyao shrank his neck, "I know, a little."
Although he was a little unsure, Huo Tianyao still wanted to give it a try.
Try to see what position Huo Wuzun holds in Bian Zhi’s heart.
Let’s see how the misunderstanding caused by the cocktail party incident affects Bian Zhi.
"I want 100% of the shares, and I promise not to catch monsters. In addition, I will absolutely support you in the company and promise not to get along with Huo Wuzun anymore. I tell you that I saw you at the party, not much, but this is my sincerity, okay?"
After Huo Tianyao said this, he felt very insecure.
He was even prepared to be rejected. After all, he said, there was only a little clue.
Not to the point of letting Bian Zhi loose so much
Anyway, if it were him, if he had the ability, he would definitely kick everyone out of the Huo family, that would make him feel better!
But Bian Zhi hardly thought about it.
She didn't even care about the percentage and said directly, "Okay, tell me."
Huo Tianyao was stunned.
It was so easy to let go that he felt a little relieved.
"Well, can you take care of my legs?"
"Um."
There was a glint in Huo Tianyao's eyes, and he was eager to take advantage of the situation.
The butler frowned.
"Miss Bian Zhi," she finally spoke, "it's just a thing of the past, there's no need to give in so much." In the butler's opinion, Bian Zhi had the power to crush others, so why would she give in again and again on such a small matter? He didn't understand.
But only Bian Zhi knew.
I know, the word "what a pity" is so regrettable for the missed opportunities between Bian Yaoyao and Huo Wuzun over the years.
They were clearly in love, but if Bian Yaoyao had really passed away, what would have happened to Huo Wuzun? Bian Zhi didn't dare to think about it.
Thinking about it this way, the original designers should all receive the most severe punishment!
She never cares about things that can be solved with money.
The housekeeper was very anxious, Huo Tianyao was very proud, but Bian Zhi still had a calm look, and no one noticed his hands clasped tightly around his legs.
When Huo Tianyao was about to ask again, a cold voice sounded.
"I advise you to stop."
Bian Zhi turned around and saw his clenched fist being held in someone's palm. A comfortable warmth and a faint scent of fir came from him.
Bianzhi felt a little calmer.
Zhou Suihuai stood beside Bian Zhi, looking down at Huo Tianyao below. "You said you only knew part of it, not much. Exchanging these shares is enough. We can find out that you have shares privately. If we put in some effort, we can also find out what you know about the past. There is only one chance, 100%, fixed price. Think of an answer."
Every word was so powerful that the butler breathed a sigh of relief.
People with soft hearts really need someone who can always stand behind them and give them occasional reminders.
"How about it?"
Zhou Suihuai pulled Bian Zhi to his side and asked Huo Tianyao downstairs, "If you don't agree, then let it be."
Zhou Suihuai squeezed Bian Zhi's hand and whispered, "Little sweetheart, go in and get some sleep."
Bian Zhi nodded.
Just as he was about to take a step, the people downstairs started to get anxious, "Hey,──"
"Oh, why are you so angry? OK, OK, OK, deal."
Huo Tianyao felt inexplicably relieved. For some reason, he felt that his fate would be better than that of the others.
After all, Zhou Suihuai doesn't look simple at all!
Zhou Suihuai was not in a hurry either. He said to Huo Tianyao downstairs, "Wait downstairs."
As he said that, he pulled Bian Zhi into the room.
Sometimes the best placebo for mood swings is some... fun interactions.
Huo Tianyao was waiting downstairs and asked the housekeeper in confusion, "What are they doing upstairs? It's been over an hour, they should be coming down to change clothes."
