Chapter 1279: The Huo Family Is Exterminated (1)

Chu Yi might be no match for Mo Beihan, but he was still a tycoon. He could exterminate the Huo family effortlessly.

Besides, the Huo family did not have much left. They were just an empty shell and were being funded by Chu Yi. It was very easy for Chu Yi to get rid of them.

After he cut off the Huo family’s funds, Chu Yi just had to use a few simple methods and the Huo family collapsed.

In the study of the Huo house, Huo Lin seemed to have aged ten years. He was much more haggard now. Huo Tianxiang asked urgently, “Father, what is going on? Why is Sir suddenly against us?”

Huo Lin sighed but did not reply.

“Father, say something! Mo Beihan dealt with Tianning so severely. Our Huo family has already been deeply humiliated, and now Sir is doing this. We can’t do business in the capital any longer!”

Huo Lin laughed. “Do business? In my opinion, we had better hurry up and think of a way to save our lives!”

Huo Tianxiang was taken aback, then suddenly shivered. “Father… Father, what do you mean?”

Huo Lin sighed and said, “If Sir is suddenly acting like that, isn’t his meaning clear? He has abandoned us. He will even personally destroy us.”

Huo Tianxiang’s eyes widened. Terror spread through his body. “Impossible. Sir has always been very supportive of us. He still needs us. Why would he act against his own men?”

Huo Lin laughed tragically. “We have never been Sir’s men. We don’t even know who he actually is. In his eyes, we are just pawns, and unimportant pawns too.

“We have failed to complete his assignments. Instead, we have brought trouble on ourselves again and again. It’s no wonder he won’t let us off.

“Besides, I feel that Sir’s attitude towards us is a little strange. He has suddenly acted against us so viciously. It almost seems that he is deliberately doing it for show.”

Huo Tianxiang paused. “Deliberately doing it for show? Who is he trying to impress?”

Huo Lin raised his head and glanced at him with some disappointment.

“Tianxiang, you are the Huo family’s successor, and I have always had high hopes for you. But now it looks as if you are still too young. You may have learnt a few small tricks, but… it’s not enough!”

Huo Tianxiang: “…”

Huo Lin laughed and said, “At this time, Sir is deliberately destroying us for show. Who do you think he intends to impress? Who have we offended in the capital? Don’t you understand now?”

Huo Tianxiang’s face instantly turned ashen. “Mo Beihan? He’s deliberately destroying us to impress Mo Beihan?”

Huo Tianxiang could not accept this conclusion.

“No! Impossible. Hasn’t he always been Mo Beihan’s enemy? Why would he curry Mo Beihan’s favor? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Huo Lin shook his head. He sighed and said, “Who knows? In this world, enemies don’t last. Only profit lasts.

“Sir’s goal has always been to humiliate Mo Beihan. He wants to destroy Gu Qingyao to embarrass Mo Beihan, but he has never touched Mo Beihan’s fundamental interests. That shows that Sir is probably no match for Mo Beihan either. Either that, or he doesn’t hate him that much, not to the point of fighting to the death. Otherwise, what would be the point of targeting Mo Beihan’s woman?”

Huo Tianxiang did not have anything to say.

“Now, Sir is acting like this. It is possible that he has reached a compromise with Mo Beihan. It is also possible that he and Mo Beihan have reached a mutually beneficial agreement. He is eliminating us as a gesture of goodwill towards Mo Beihan!”

Huo Tianxiang’s knees gave way, and he sat down on the ground with a thump.
