Chapter Thirty-Five: Huo Zhan Unleashes a Powerful Move, the Zhou Family Panics
An immense grief instantly solidified into hatred within her chest.
Su Muci got up from the sofa, walked to the wall cabinet, and heavily placed Su Nuan's memorial tablet into the cabinet.
Then, I picked up the fruit knife next to me.
A flash of cold light.
A sharp pain shot through my fingertips.
Bright red blood gushed out instantly.
She placed her hand on the white porcelain bowl in front of the memorial tablet.
Thump—
Thump—
A drop of blood fell into the bottom of the white porcelain bowl.
The sound was terrifying in the quiet apartment.
Her face was still wet with tears, but her eyes held a resolute determination.
"Mom, you watch."
"All those who bullied you and trampled on you..."
"I won't let a single one of them escape!"
"I want them to pay for their crimes in blood!"
She said, enunciating each word clearly, "I swear!"
...
In the afternoon, at a top-tier private boxing club in the city center.
Huo Zhan had already changed into his boxing uniform; the black vest accentuated his strong and upright physique, every muscle exuding explosive power.
He wasn't wearing a helmet; his bangs were slightly damp as he slowly and methodically wrapped bandages around his hands, his movements elegant yet carrying a deadly sense of oppression.
Fu Hengzhi entered, accompanied by the business director of the Fu Group.
He had also changed into boxing gear, but his complexion was not good.
He was ordered by his father to come and apologize and seek reconciliation, but he didn't expect the other party to choose to meet him in such a place.
Seeing the other party's obvious readiness to make a big fuss, he felt a sense of foreboding.
"Mr. Zeron."
Fu Hengzhi stepped forward, trying to make his tone sound sincere, "Regarding what happened at the club last time, I was young and impetuous and offended you. On behalf of the Fu Group, I sincerely apologize to you."
Huo Zhan raised his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.
His gaze was devoid of any warmth, as if he were looking at an inanimate object.
He cracked his neck, his knuckles making a slight popping sound: "A verbal apology?"
"Young Master Fu, come on, change your gear and stretch your muscles with me. If you beat me, we'll call it even."
Fu Hengzhi's face stiffened.
The other party's imposing aura of someone who had long held a high position and his physique, clearly the result of long-term training, made him feel intimidated.
But things had come to this point, and he couldn't show weakness, otherwise the Fu family would truly lose face.
"Since Mr. Zero is in the mood, I'll practice with you."
Fu Hengzhi reluctantly agreed and began wrapping the bandages.
The two stepped onto the boxing ring.
After a brief explanation of the rules, the referee signaled the start of the session.
Fu Hengzhi wanted to adopt a defensive stance and say a few polite words, but Huo Zhan didn't give him any chance at all.
As soon as the starting command was given, Huo Zhan delivered a fierce straight punch with a whooshing sound, aimed directly at Fu Hengzhi's face!
That's too fast!
Fu Hengzhi had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his arm to block.
"Bang!"
The heavy force slammed into his forearm. Fu Hengzhi felt a tremendous force, and his entire arm went numb instantly. He staggered back several steps, only managing to regain his footing after hitting the ropes.
Huo Zhan gave him no chance to breathe, pressing forward relentlessly.
His boxing style is completely unpretentious; it's simply the most basic, brutal, and effective form of attack.
Each punch was powerful and heavy, with a tricky angle, specifically targeting the most painful spots on the body.
Fu Hengzhi could only desperately protect his head as his body continued to be struck.
He tried to fight back, but his punches seemed so weak and powerless in front of Huo Zhan. They were either easily dodged or Huo Zhan directly punched back with even more ferocious punches.
"Well!"
The heavy blow caused Fu Hengzhi to bend over in pain, as if his internal organs had shifted.
Fu Heng cursed inwardly. All he did was not pour him a drink, why was he so angry?
People from Kyoto, how narrow-minded they are!
He's seen it all.
As Fu Hengzhi cursed, Huo Zhan looked down at him with icy eyes.
What came to mind was Su Muci's red-rimmed eyes and the way she was trying to hold back her tears in the car, and the way her thin shoulders trembled uncontrollably as she held the memorial tablet.
But he couldn't hold her...
Frustration surged within me, and I desperately needed an outlet to vent it.
"Is this all the young master of Jiangcheng is capable of?"
Huo Zhan's voice was deep and laced with undisguised sarcasm.
Fu Hengzhi was instantly enraged, clenched his fists, and lunged forward.
This was exactly what Hozan wanted.
He dodged Fu Hengzhi's attack by sidestepping, and then delivered a powerful punch with his right hand, which he had been holding back for a long time, solidly to Fu Hengzhi's abdomen!
"vomit--"
Fu Hengzhi's stomach acid mixed with bile gushed out, and he curled up and knelt on the ground, retching painfully.
But that's not all.
Huo Zhan stepped forward, grabbed Fu Hengzhi's neck with his left hand, and forced him to lift his face.
He raised his right fist again.
"This punch is to teach you to see clearly and be more careful in the future. Don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with!"
"Bang!"
Fu Hengzhi's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
"President Fu!"
The business director in the audience was so frightened that he rushed onto the stage.
The referee quickly ended the unequal practice session.
Huo Zhan stood still, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's.
He took off his boxing gloves, tossed them aside, and took a towel from his assistant to wipe his sweat and hands.
It was as if they had just finished a routine training session.
As Fu Hengzhi was being carried onto the emergency stretcher, Huo Zhan said, "Thank you for your sparring with me, Mr. Fu. Please tell Chairman Fu that I have agreed to the cooperation he wants."
Hearing this, Fu Hengzhi, though unwilling, finally closed his eyes in triumph, and thought to himself:
"Ying'er, this time... you can come back to my side..."
No sooner had he uttered those words than Fu Hengzhi fainted and lost consciousness.
The news quickly spread within a small circle in Jiangcheng: the young master of the Fu family had offended someone and was beaten up at the boxing gym, ending up in the hospital.
Fu Leiting strictly ordered a news blackout, fearing that he might further anger the business tycoon.
He looked at his son on the hospital bed and regretted making his son apologize, but after seeing the 10 billion yuan financing report from the Huo Group, his anger subsided.
At least the Fu Group was saved!
When Zhou Wangyuan learned that the Fu and Huo families had joined forces, he almost vomited up the birthday cake he had just eaten.
He stared incredulously at the news on his phone:
#Fu's Group's primary investor withdraws investment
#The Huo Group has invested billions to become the largest shareholder of the Fu Group!
What's this?
Just after Zhou Wangyuan broke with the Fu Group, the Huo Group made a large investment in the Jiangcheng Fu Group.
Keep in mind that the Zhou family only received one billion...
Zhou Wangyuan seemed to have thought of something, ran into the study and took out the Huo Group investment contract, his eyes falling on two clauses:
[The Huo Group has invested one billion yuan in the Zhou Group. The Zhou Group must win first place in this year's Jiangcheng Radio Best Anchor competition and publicly thank the Huo Group.]
[If Zhou fails to win first place in the annual radio anchor selection, he must pay Huo five times the amount as liquidated damages.]
His hand holding the agreement began to tremble.
At the same time, I received a phone call.
"It's bad, Chairman! After hearing about the changes in the Fu family's shareholder structure, our investors are all demanding to withdraw their investment! Business partners are also canceling their collaborations one after another, citing the Fu family's blacklisting of the Zhou family!"
Zhou Wangyuan's pupils constricted, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He forced himself to reassure himself: No rush, no rush.
The Zhou family still has the Huo Group as a safety net. Huo Zhan has taken a liking to his daughter. Once the Huo Group becomes his son-in-law, why is he in such a hurry?
But looking at the agreement in my hand, I still felt uneasy.
He strode out of the study and grabbed Zhou Mengying in the villa's living room, his voice trembling with anxiety: "Ying'er, the Jiangcheng Annual Radio Host Competition is about to begin. Is your operations department okay?"
