The butler swallowed nervously and knocked on the door again.
"What are you knocking for? Get in here. "
With Huo Jianzhang's permission, the butler pushed the door open and entered. The study was a mess. The desk was clean and everything had been thrown to the ground by Huo Jianzhang.
A few shareholders who were usually close to Huo Jianzhang, as well as four traders, were sitting on the sofa in the corner, trembling.
Huo Jianzhang glared at the butler. "What's the matter?"
The butler replied, "Those two people have been arrested."
Huo Jianzhang asked impatiently, "Who was arrested?"
The butler rubbed his hands nervously. "The two people who kidnapped Shuxin on the day of the engagement party have been arrested by The Fifth Lord's men."
"What?!" Huo Jianzhang's eyes widened. Besides the anger on his face, there was also a layer of panic. "Didn't I ask them to hide?"
The butler replied, "We underestimated The Fifth Lord's power …"
"You're all a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Huo Jianzhang interrupted the butler angrily.
The butler lowered his head and whispered, "They've been arrested. It won't be long before they give you up. What should we do now?"
Huo Jianzhang's body trembled. He didn't know if it was out of anger or fear. Thinking of his son who was crippled by Huo Yanqing, Huo Jianzhang slumped into the chair. What should he do? What should he do?
A word appeared in his mind: escape.
Where there's life, there's hope.
He definitely couldn't stay in Huaxia any longer. Huo Yanqing could find them in three days. It was obvious how powerful his secret force was. He had underestimated his nephew's ability. He always thought that he was blind and easy to control. He didn't expect him to be even more difficult to deal with than his deceased brothers.
Huo Jianzhang stood up abruptly and said to the butler, "Buy the fastest flight abroad. Pack up and leave!"
The shareholders and traders were also very afraid of Huo Yanqing's ruthless methods. Seeing that Huo Jianzhang was about to escape, someone said, "What will we do if you leave?"
"You messed up my job, and you still expect me to protect you?" Huo Jianzhang said coldly and left the study.
Huo Jianzhang and his family packed up their belongings and drove to the international airport. However, they were stopped by Shen Tingxi at the entrance of the airport hall.
Shen Tingxi was wearing a simple black T-shirt and slim-fit trousers. His facial features were outstanding, but his silhouette was too sharp. There was an indescribable dark chill that made people feel intimidated and unapproachable.
Fear flashed through Huo Jianzhang's eyes, but he still mustered up his courage and said to Shen Tingxi, "Young Master Shen, please let me off. I'll give you double the amount of money Huo Yanqing gave you."
Shen Tingxi smoked casually and calmly. His deep-set facial features were blurred in the smoke, which made him look colder and sharper. He said in a mocking voice, "Do you think I'm a beggar?"
Seeing that Shen Tingxi was unmoved, Huo Jianzhang continued to raise the price. Wasn't the purpose of being in the underworld to make money? He didn't believe that Shen Tingxi wouldn't be moved by his money.
Although he knew that Huo Yanqing must have spent a lot of money to hire Shen Tingxi, since Shen Tingxi wasn't someone that just anyone could hire, if he fell into Huo Yanqing's hands, he would definitely not have a good ending. He was afraid that he would lose everything.
"I'll pay three times."
Shen Tingxi continued to smoke and glanced at Huo Jianzhang. His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
Huo Jianzhang painfully stretched out his hand. "Five times. How about five times?"
