“We intercepted it immediately,” Lin Cheng replied, handing over the other documents he had brought from the company. After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “…Chairman Huo, the doctor advised you to take care of yourself and rest.”
The Huo Group's power and position in China are now unshakeable. The Xie family's recent desperate counterattack is nothing more than a scratch on the surface for the Huo Group. Xie Yulin, whose family has been torn apart, probably never imagined that his painstakingly built enterprise would soon be swallowed up by his own son's Qingyuan Group.
Huo Qin raised his hand to take the documents, his deep, dark eyes sweeping over him without any warmth.
"..." Lin Cheng immediately straightened his back, lowered his head and fell silent.
Huo Qin not only went straight to work after waking up, but also returned to the company an hour later after completing the discharge procedures.
On the first floor of the group's building, Huo Qin suddenly stopped, his cold gaze fixed directly on the central screen suspended in the air.
The news is playing there—
Yesterday around 7 PM, a murder case stemming from a debt dispute occurred in a residential area in the southern part of City B. The victim was a 16-year-old girl, and the suspect has been apprehended by the police.
Huo Qin stared at the photograph without saying a word.
Time seemed to have left no trace on his face; his handsome features remained expressionless, and his sharp jawline was perfectly defined.
Lin Cheng, who was behind her, looked over and was slightly taken aback. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken for the beautiful girl.
But... her eyebrows and eyes seem a little familiar?
Mr. Fok remains single and childless, and there have been no rumors of marriage or romantic relationships... except for a time ten years ago when a rival media outlet released a rumor that Mr. Fok had a relationship with a woman, but everything quickly disappeared.
Lin Cheng suppressed his confusion and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Chairman Huo?"
The man's tightly pursed lips finally relaxed. The moment he saw the photo, that familiar throbbing pain in his chest returned. He calmly said:
"I need all her information before 4 o'clock."
After Lin Cheng accepted the order and left quickly.
Huo Qincai coughed lightly, swallowing the bloody taste rising in his throat.
Lin Cheng was extremely efficient; by 2 p.m., all the information about the girl was neatly arranged on Huo Qin's desk.
Huo Qin looked down and looked through the photos one by one. There were very few photos from his childhood, but the photos gradually became more numerous from elementary school onwards, including activity photos, enrollment promotional photos, award photos, etc. In each group photo, the girl was wearing the simplest school uniform, yet she could make anyone who saw her spot at first glance.
After a long silence, he picked up his phone and dialed the police station: "Director Huang."
At 11:30 p.m., an urgent paternity test report lay quietly on the table.
Huo Qin glanced at it once and never opened it again.
The lights in the chairman's office stayed on all night.
The following day, in addition to the suspect in the intentional homicide case, the Sun family of three were charged with multiple crimes and were arrested and interrogated.
The rain that had been falling in City B for two days and two nights suddenly stopped in the air.
—A piercing alarm, symbolizing extreme danger, resounded throughout every corner of the Time and Space Administration.
"W-What happened? What's wrong?"
Should we run away?
The manager leading the tour turned off his silent communication, paused for a second, and then reassured the newly employed staff, "Don't worry about it, it's just a routine safety drill. Please continue your tour."
As the young system passed by the main control room from a distance, the two cold mechanical doors slowly closed. The main system, possessing supreme management authority, stared solemnly at the other side. What it was looking at, 7017, passing by, couldn't see clearly, but the doors were already tightly shut.
No one knows the specifics of the conversation between the main system and the dimensional invaders in the control room that day.
In reality, their conversation was brief, consisting of only a few sentences.
At the end of the conversation, the main system asked this invader, who was dangerous enough to destroy the entire spacetime bureau, what his final conditions were.
In the control room, a deep, indifferent voice rang out clearly.
"I want her to come to me."
then.
One day after the world restarted, the "Reform the Villain System 7017" landed in front of a tearful, aggrieved little girl, as if uttering a core instruction engraved in its code, telling her—
My dear Chaochao, let's go find Daddy.
