Chapter 898: Compared to Saving People, I Much Prefer to Swindle Them

Huo Yunting nodded and said, “I have a plan.”

Then, he whispered so quietly that only Huo Chen could listen to him. When he was done, he asked, “What do you think?”

Huo Chen’s face twitched. Then, he looked at his nephew with an unreadable expression and said, “I think it’s a waste that you are not in the military.”

The plan was solid and the work of a professional.

“No thank you,” Huo Yunting said and sat back lazily. “You protect the country while I protect my family. After all, compared to saving people, I very much prefer to swindle them.”

“…”

Huo Chen had nothing to say to that.

The two men did not chat for long before they parted ways.

Huo Yunting returned to the city for a few days and hired people to investigate Jin Financial. The conclusion was simple…

The company had a solid foundation and was well-financed. It was managed by talented executives and headed by a mysterious figure.

Huo Yunting tapped his fingers rhythmically on his desk and smiled coldly.

Xiang Jinxi was a wanted man. He could not show his face in the open.

The key was to locate the man.

But that could wait.

As Huo Yunting expected, Jin Financial was a force to be reckoned with. As a foreign company with impeccable financial history, many local companies welcomed it with open arms.

However, it seemed to be targeting Thunderbolt Corp.

Whenever Thunderbolt showed interest in a project, it would do the same. Anyone that Thunderbolt wished to collaborate with would find Jin Financial knocking on their door. The antagonism was obvious.

Thunderbolt Corp was a very influential organization in the city and also in the country. A newcomer from abroad cannot possibly qualify as a competitor.

When the rivalry first began, everyone believed in Thunderbolt and showed their support.

Nevertheless, things turned out unexpectedly.

Jin Financial was so well financed that it would bid for projects at irrationally high prices to compete with Thunderbolt Corp, even if it would result in a loss.

When faced with such bold propositions, people began to yield quietly to Jin Financial and switched sides.

Business was only ever about profit.

Despite the aggressive moves from its rival, Huo Yunting did not make his move.

Huo Li, however, was panicking.

“Brother Ting, Xiang Jinxi finally revealed himself. We cannot let him get away this time.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Huo Li chuckled coldly. “We should take him on!”

How could they ignore the man’s obvious provocation?

Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow and replied lazily, “I have gotten tired of fighting. Perhaps it is time to retire and enjoy life.”

“…”

Try to be serious, will you?

Huo Yunting noticed the look that Huo Li gave him and laughed. “It’s only a few meagre projects. Thunderbolt Corp’s foundation remains strong.”

He paused and narrowed his eyes. “Jin Financial should step up their game if they are really serious about this. I do not care for their little tricks. Remember to tell people what I just said.”

“… Brother Ting, what are you planning?”

“Just do as I say.”

“Alright.”

Huo Li reluctantly took his orders.

In less than an hour, Huo Yunting’s words found its way out of the office.

The message was passed from one person to another. When it finally reached Xiang Jinxi, it was already exaggerated to a whole new level…

“Huo Yunting did not deign to compete with Jin Financial because the latter is not even worthy of becoming his rival!”

In fact, that was probably what he meant.
