Huo Qing smiled and quickly said, "Last night, Young Master Lin offended the Earl's family because of Miss Huo. Our Huo family doesn't need a successor who doesn't care about the big picture."
Huo Wanying narrowed her eyes but didn't reply.
"I heard that Master Feng was quite close to his niece." Huo Qing paused. "So Wanying, think about it. Is power more important … or that worthless care?"
Huo Wanying instinctively curled her fingers. After a while, she said coldly, "I'll pretend I didn't hear this and don't mention it again."
With that, Huo Wanying walked out of the small conference room.
After she left, the few elders looked at each other in dismay.
"Huo Wanying is too hot-tempered. It'll be hard to control her in the future." After a long time, the chief elder said with a frown.
"You're wrong." Huo Qing glanced at the chief elder and lazily leaned back in his chair. "This kind of person is the best weapon."
Huo Wanying was too competitive. She would never allow her position to be threatened by anyone else.
So, Master Feng's niece … Tsk, there was a good show to watch.
Huo Qing's eyes flickered. He raised his head and suggested, "Perhaps it's time to prepare for the successor assessment. What do you all think?"
…
Huo Wanying walked out of the union building.
Her trusted aide had already driven the car over. When he opened the door for her, he saw that she didn't look well and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what happened?"
Huo Wanying shook her head and didn't speak. She bent over and got into the car.
The aide closed the door and quickly got into the car as well. He slowly started the engine.
"Miss, are we going back to the manor or …?" The moment the car drove out of the intersection, the aide asked again.
Huo Wanying withdrew her gaze from the car window and took out her phone. She searched for a number in her contact list and sent a message.
She received a reply after a few minutes.
She looked up and gave the aide an address.

At the Earl's residence.
Murray had just woken up. Last night, he didn't have the bullet in his chest removed in time and almost died.
Fan Shun had sent someone to deliver life-saving medicine to him and he was able to survive until the operation.
After listening to the secretary's report, Murray was so angry that he swept the lamp on the bedside table to the ground. However, because it affected the wound on his chest, the pain made his face instantly turn pale.
"Even that failed? What are they doing? "
The secretary didn't dare to move as she shook her head with a bitter smile. "I didn't expect Huo Yulin from the Huo family to surround the Earl's residence."
Murray closed his eyes and finally managed to ease the pain in his chest. "He's a complete lunatic!"
"The main point is that the head of the Weapons Bureau probably thinks that the sniper's assassination last night was a self-made show. If this matter is not handled properly … it will be very disadvantageous to the Count's Mansion." The secretary's tone was very worried.
How could such a good plan suddenly fall short of success!
She had wanted to make Min Yu owe her a favor.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Mr. Fan's shadow guard died in the tea room where the prince was served. If I'm not mistaken … the girl from the Huo family should also be hiding in that tea room," the secretary added.
Luo Qi was the rightful heir to the royal family and had a special status. Naturally, no one dared to disturb him, let alone look for him.
Murray squinted his eyes. "Luo Qi and that girl know each other?"
