“Look into the incident. Investigate anyone who has ever been in contact with Xiang Jinxi. Let me know as soon as you have something.”

“Okay!”

Huo Li left hastily, leaving behind a frustrated Huo Yunting. He slowly made his way upstairs to the bedroom and tried to open the door, but found that it was locked from inside.

“Lu Zhaoyang, open the door!”

He called a few more times but received no reply.

“Wife…

“My dear?

“Honey?”

Nothing worked. Huo Yunting sighed helplessly and returned to the study dispiritedly.

Lu Zhaoyang never opened the door for him. Even when it was dinnertime, she never looked at him no matter how sweetly he called her.

When they were done eating, she went straight back to the bedroom and shut the door.

Huo Yunting experienced a Cold War in the house.

Later at night, he knocked on the door again.

“Yangyang, please open the door and let me in.”

Lu Zhaoyang heard little Huo Xu at the door and opened it immediately.

She saw Huo Yunting raised Huo Xu up high and presented the boy to her. He smiled compliantly, eager to please.

“Wife, do you not want your husband and son anymore?”

“I want my son.”

Lu Zhaoyang took Huo Xu from him and closed the door in his face before he could step inside.

“Enough of this.”

“…”

Huo Yunting slept in the study that night.

The next day, Huo Li came to report his progress.

“Bro Ting, I found something. You remember Qui Jin? She chose to work with Xiang Jinxi in the joint venture project. She had gone missing yesterday. I have used up all my resources but I still can’t find her. She might be the one who rescued Xiang Jinxi.”

“It must be her.”

Huo Yunting smoked idly as he lay on the sofa.

“Qiu Jin’s background is a mystery. She made her appearance quite suddenly in the city. People knew her as an influential and wealthy figure, but I have not found anything substantial on her past.

“What should we do now?”

“Simple,” Huo Yunting crossed his legs and said, “Pass everything you have to State Security. They will know what to do.”

Before Huo Li left, he added, “One more thing. Do whatever you can to make Xiang Yuan go bankrupt. Pick a good date to buy the company in Thunderbolt Corp’s name.”

“Consider it done.”

Xiang Jinxi’s arrest shocked the entire city and in fact, the whole country.

When State Security announced the man’s crimes, the public was in an uproar.

Xiang Yuan Corp lost its stellar reputation overnight and became the subject of public wrath.

The company’s share prices plummeted and all their projects came to a standstill.

Less than a fifth of the employees remained in the company the next day. They could not stand the outrage and humiliation directed at them in public from shareholders and nationalists alike.

The interim president of Xiang Yuan Corp had no choice but to file for bankruptcy.

Given the situation, he knew that there was no hope left for the company.

The tender for the port development project was revoked and awarded to Thunderbolt Corp instead.
