Chapter 310 The He Family's Counterattack
"Mr. He, open the door."
Young Master He glanced through the peephole.
Several policemen were standing outside the door.
His heart sank.
It's too late.
"Mr. He, please open the door and cooperate with the investigation."
He Shao took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Officer, is there something you need?"
“Mr. He, we suspect you of operating an illegal casino,” the lead police officer said. “Please come with us.”
Young Master He's face turned deathly pale.
"Officer, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
"Are you kidding me? We'll find out once we investigate."
Young Master He was taken away by the police.
The news quickly reached Fang Lanxin.
She was drinking tea when she received the call from Director Zhou.
"Ms. Fang, Young Master He has been arrested."
"So fast!"
“The evidence is conclusive,” Director Zhou said. “His casino accounts are crystal clear.”
"Furthermore, we also found that he is suspected of money laundering."
"The amount is not small, at least 300 million."
Fang Lanxin smiled.
"Director Zhou, you've worked hard."
"Ms. Fang, you're too kind," Director Zhou said. "However, Ms. Fang, you should be prepared."
"The He family will not let this go."
“I know,” Fang Lanxin said, “but I’m not afraid.”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin called Huo Qibang.
"Qibang, Young Master He has been arrested."
"What?" Huo Qibang exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"
"Yes," Fang Lanxin said, "The matter of the new district project should be resolved soon."
"Mom, you're amazing!"
"Don't be too happy yet," Fang Lanxin said. "The He family will definitely come looking for trouble."
"Get ready."
"I see."
The next morning.
News of He Shao's arrest spread quickly throughout the port city.
Major media outlets are reporting on this.
The He family became the target of public criticism overnight.
The Huo family mansion.
Fang Lanxin was having morning tea.
Kenneth Fok rushed over.
"Mother, Old Master He has arrived."
Fang Lanxin put down her teacup.
"Let him in."
Huo Qibang hesitated for a moment.
“Mother, the old master of the He family is definitely not here with good intentions.”
“I know,” Fang Lanxin said, “but what must be faced must be faced.”
"Go and invite them in."
Kenneth Fok nodded, turned and left.
A few minutes later.
Old Master He walked in.
The old man was over seventy years old and had a full head of white hair.
But he seemed to be in good spirits and had sharp eyes.
"Ms. Fang, we meet again."
Old Master He sat down, his voice calm.
"Mr. He, please have a seat."
Fang Lanxin poured him a cup of tea.
"Old Master He, you've come so early, is it about Young Master He?"
“That’s right,” said Old Master He. “Ms. Fang, you have ruthless methods.”
"You're the one who got my son arrested, aren't you?"
Fang Lanxin smiled.
"Old Master He, what you said is incorrect."
"Young Master He was arrested because he broke the law himself."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Stop pretending," Old Master He said. "If you hadn't reported it, how would the police have discovered Young Master He's casino?"
“Mr. He, your son is running an underground casino, which is illegal,” Fang Lanxin said. “I was just doing what a citizen should do.”
"you……"
Old Master He was so angry that his face turned red.
"Ms. Fang, you've gone too far!"
"The He family and the Huo family have been cooperating for so many years, and this is how you treat your old friends?"
Fang Lanxin, an "old friend," sneered, "Old Master He, when your son tried to ruin the new district project, he didn't consider the Huo family as friends."
“That’s business!” said Old Master He. “In the business world, it’s all about ability!”
“Yes,” Fang Lanxin said, “so I also rely on my own abilities.”
"Young Master He did something illegal, so it's only right that he was arrested."
"Old Master He, you don't mean you want me to let him go, do you?"
Grandpa He stared at Fang Lanxin.
"Ms. Fang, I'm here today to discuss some terms with you."
What conditions?
“You have the police release Young Master He,” said Old Master He. “I can get the He family out of the competition for the new district project.”
"Furthermore, we can offer a 30% discount on business deals between the He family and the Huo family in the future."
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow.
"Old Master He, are you begging me?"
“It’s not a request,” said Old Master He, “it’s a transaction.”
"Young Master He is my only son, he cannot be harmed."
“Ms. Fang, as long as you are willing to let him go, our He family will follow the Huo family’s lead from now on.”
Fang Lanxin fell silent.
Mr. He's offer is indeed very tempting.
The Ho family is a prominent family in Hong Kong.
If the Huo family can be won over, it will be a good thing for the Huo family.
But Fang Lanxin quickly shook her head.
"Mr. He, I'm sorry, I can't do that."
Old Master He's expression changed.
"Ms. Fang, are you trying to wipe us out completely?"
“It’s not that I want to kill them all,” Fang Lanxin said. “It’s that Young Master He brought this upon himself.”
“Mr. He, your son is running an underground casino, which is illegal.”
"Moreover, he also laundered money, amounting to as much as 300 million."
"Even if I wanted to help you with this, I couldn't."
Old Master He stood up.
"Ms. Fang, you will regret this."
"I won't regret it." Fang Lanxin also stood up. "Grandpa He, please go back."
Old Master He glared at Fang Lanxin and turned to leave.
Kenneth Fok walked in.
“Mother, the old master of the He family will not let this go.”
“I know,” Fang Lanxin said, “but Qibang, there are some things we cannot back down on.”
"What Young Master He has done will be exposed sooner or later."
"It's better to take the initiative now than to be passive later."
Kenneth Fok nodded.
“Mom, I understand.”
"Qibang, keep a close eye on the company these next few days," Fang Lanxin said. "The He family will definitely retaliate."
"I will."

really.
That afternoon.
The stock price of the Huo Group began to fall.
Someone is maliciously dumping Huo's shares.
Huo Qibang immediately called Fang Lanxin.
"Mom, someone is smashing our plates!"
"Who is the He family?"
“It should be,” Fok Kai-pong said. “And Mother, not just the Ho family.”
"The Li family, the Chen family, and several other families are also selling off our shares."
Fang Lanxin's face darkened.
"They've joined forces."
"Mom, what should we do?"
“We’ll eat it all,” Fang Lanxin said. “No matter how much they throw away, we’ll eat it all.”
“But Mother, this requires a lot of money.”
"I know," Fang Lanxin said. "I'll figure something out."
"You should stabilize the situation first."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin immediately called Guan Jingshen.
"Jing Shen, I need your help."
"What kind of help?"
"Lend me two billion."
Guan Jingshen remained silent for a few seconds.
"Lanxin, what happened?"
“Someone is trying to sabotage Huo’s business,” Fang Lanxin said. “I need funds to buy in.”
"I'll have Ah Kun transfer the money to you right away."
"Thanks."
"Silly boy, we're husband and wife, no need to say thank you."
Fang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
With her deep inner strength, she fears nothing.
Half an hour later.
Two billion has arrived.
Fang Lanxin immediately instructed Huo Qibang to begin acquiring the shares.
The stock price of the Huo family quickly stabilized.
