Huo Chen frowned and he looked irritated.
In the end, he entered the private room. The waiter in charge of the room quickly closed the door behind him. Then, he stood attentively nearby.
He could not hear anything from inside due to the soundproofing, until...
Bam!
There was a loud sound from inside.
The waiter was surprised and looked up to see someone opening the door of the private room.

Huo Yunting followed closely behind him. The man was frowning impatiently.
“Huo Chen, are you really refusing to help me now?”
Huo Chen paused mid stride but did not look back.
“Huo Yunting, you and I both know that the only bond we share is f familial ties, and nothing else. I have no reason to put my future at stake and make some unreasonable request to my superiors for you. That is not going to happen.”
“Hah...”
Huo Yunting chuckled cooly. “Don’t get pretentious with me and talk about ‘your future’. We both know it’s because of Lu Zhaoyang. Don’t you forget that she is my wife, while you are already married. What would Wen He think if she knew?”
Huo Chen shot back derisively, “Don’t you worry about me. You and I will keep our matters separate, and that is final. Keep me out of your business.”
“Very well.”
Huo Yunting was livid.
“You’re ruthless!”
Huo Chen ignored the man and took his leave without delay.
The waiter watched him leave and then turned to Huo Yunting, whose face was now blank, and said awkwardly, “President Huo...”
Before he could finish, the man stomped away in the other direction. He looked grim and forbidding even from behind.
The waiter swallowed. When Huo Yunting was gone, he looked around to make sure he was alone and then took out his phone to make a call. “Mr Lance, I have news...”
When he was done, the man on the other end said something through the phone that made the waiter grin widely.
“Alright.”
He ended the call and looked around again before going about his business.

The smoke covered his gleaming eyes, keeping his delicate profile shrouded in mystery.
It was almost too easy for them to take the bait.
...
When Xiang Jinxi heard from Lance, he was first overjoyed, but soon felt suspicious.
“In any case, Huo Chen and Huo Yunting are family. We are to be careful.”
Qiu Jin sipped on her red wind and looked at him with a smile. “Oh, I don’t know about that.”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you forgotten? Lu Zhaoyang was Huo Chen’s first love. Had Huo Yunting been out of the picture, they would have gotten married.”
Qiu Jin continued unhurriedly, “It is as Huo Chen said. He had no reason to put his future at stake for a nephew that he did not even like. After all, he is a lieutenant general. Besides, familial ties are always superficial in rich and powerful families. What is a nephew to his uncle?”
