1859 Out of Luck

**

Xie went back to provide updates to his superior.

As Huo Changfeng looked at the contract in his hands, he slowly digested Xie’s words. “… Are you saying that Miss Huo knows the people from Cloud Realm?”

Xie thought about those men with the well-known logo embroidered on their sleeves along with their respect towards the blonde man and nodded. “I’m sure of it.”

Hearing this, complicated emotions flooded Huo Changfeng’s heart. At the same time, he felt proud of her. No wonder she did not take the test to heart at all. If she wanted, nothing could stop her.

From the looks of it, it was true.

“The culprit behind the ambush was Meryl,” said Xie looking at the chief steward.

Huo Changfeng had already sent men to investigate yesterday, but he had yet to hear back from them yet. When he heard what Xie said, he was a little astonished.

Xie explained quickly, “Miss Huo’s friend already investigated the matter.”

He had no intention of eavesdropping, but when Huo Yao and Myron were chatting, they spoke in the hall openly without avoiding anyone, so he happened to hear.

Moreover, considering Cloud Realm’s powerful network, they could not have gone wrong with the investigation.

At this moment, his subordinate entered the room to update him about the incident.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Xie said.

“Meryl probably did it out of fear that Miss Huo will become an obstacle to Miss Wanying,” said Xie softly. “Fortunately, Miss Huo got off the car halfway.”

Otherwise… Out of 30 men with the car fleet, only ten people remained. Meryl clearly had no intention of giving Miss Huo the chance to live.

“I wonder if Miss Wanying was involved in this.” Xie sighed softly.

In reality, he had always been impressed by Huo Wanying. She was so capable that hardly any men could surpass her.

Her only problem was her close relationship with the elders.

Huo Changfeng narrowed his eyes and said mildly, “She wouldn’t have done it.”

He knew of Meryl’s temperament, but he also knew of Huo Wanying’s personality.

Otherwise, Master Jinfeng would never allow Meryl to continue staying on the Huo estate all these years.

He had only done it on account of Huo Wanying.

“What should we do about Meryl?” asked Xie.

Huo Changfeng pondered for some time and said, “She could never have pulled this off single-handedly. Make arrangements to have her under control. We can handle her after the test is over.”

Xie promptly understood what he meant.

It was time to clean house. If they did not take the opportunity to remove these people at their roots, they would probably continue to cause problems.

“Oh yes, Chief Steward. Miss Huo has a message for you,” said Xie.

Huo Changfeng looked at Xie. “Huh?”

“She’s not interested in being the heir.”

Time passed very quickly. Two days later, the union assignment was due and it was time to decide on the new heir.

On the top floor of the union building at 10:00 am.

Huo Yao was not there, but the other people including Huo Yulin were already seated in front of the long conference table.

“Has Miss Huo given up on being the heir?” asked someone in a gloating tone.

“I hear Councilor Ding and the car fleet got ambushed on the way to Sangry Town. Councilor Ding nearly died in the process. Even if Miss Huo managed to survive, she probably… can’t finish the assignment, right?”

“Sangry Town is notorious for being a dangerous territory full of gangsters. She was simply out of luck running into an ambush.”

When Huo Qing and the others heard these remarks, they could not help looking at each other profoundly.
