Qin Moting received the call, set down the document in his hand, "So you’re saying the layoffs in Jindong a while ago are related to this matter?"

Qin Shaonan, "Yes, but at that time, they probably didn’t know the mastermind was D&S."

Qin Moting, "Alright."

Qin Shaonan glanced at Huo Jinnan, "Also, the person spearheading the D&S acquisition project this time is Gu Yunping."

Gu Yunping?

Qin Moting understood.

In the past, there was never any business dealings between the Gucheng Group and the Qin Family, partly because of Gu Yunping. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gu Yunping didn’t like doing business with him.

Of course, he couldn’t stand Huo Jinyun either.

Never mind the matter with Wen Ru, if it weren’t for Huo Jinyun pushing the pregnant Mo Mo down the stairs, how would it have led to her miscarrying and dying!

As for the reason, it’s because of Gu Yunping and his illegitimate child with Huo Jinyun, Gu Jizhou.

He brought Gu Jizhou to find Huo Jinyun, and Mo Mo overheard. In their argument, Mo Mo was pushed down the stairs.

"Fourth Uncle—"

Hearing Qin Shaonan’s voice, Qin Moting returned to his senses, "I understand."

Qin Shaonan, "Alright, that’s it for now. It’s inconvenient to talk over the phone, so I’ll hang up."

Qin Moting, "Okay."

Qin Shaonan hung up the phone and looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan looked at Qin Shaonan, "D&S is tough to deal with. If they fail once, they’ll plan for the next. We can’t eradicate them, so it’s best to let them suffer enough once that they don’t dare try again."

Qin Shaonan looked at Huo Jinnan, "That’s a bit difficult."

Huo Jinnan nodded, sitting there, eyes chilling as he looked at the cigarette butt, "It is indeed difficult, start by getting rid of these minions first."

Qin Shaonan looked at Huo Jinnan, thinking of Qin Mobai and his older brother who had been living in M Country for years, they could very well defect.

And he was to be the next successor, after Fourth Uncle—

Recalling that scene from that year, he felt a chill run through his body.

Huo Jinnan raised his head to look at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan sat in silence to the side, no longer speaking, just smoking.

Huo Jinnan said nothing more, lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.

———— Yunqi Academy ————

The next day, they went to the consulate and met Huo Jinyun.

Huo Jinnan looked at Huo Jinyun, "Miss Huo."

Huo Jinyun looked at Huo Jinnan, "Mr. Louise, I am ready."

Huo Jinnan looked at Huo Jinyun, not knowing what her task was.

But she probably never expected the mastermind manipulating her was also Gu Yunping? The man she had always trampled underfoot.

Gu Yunping was not a simple person; otherwise, back then, he wouldn’t have risen from nothing to fame in Hong Kong.

He loved Huo Jinyun, but as a man, there’s always a sense of pride. Being trampled underfoot by the woman he loves should not be a pleasant feeling.

Thinking of this, Huo Jinnan mimicked Louise with a smile and looked at Huo Jinyun, "Do you know who my superior is?"

Huo Jinyun looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan, "Your second ex-husband, Gu Yunping."

What?

Gu Yunping!

Huo Jinyun looked at Huo Jinnan, stood there, her face instantly a palette of colors.

Huo Jinnan watched her reaction with satisfaction, "I don’t like him, nor do I like that after the Huo Family’s fall, he became the direct beneficiary."

Thinking of Gu Yunping, Huo Jinyun gnashed her teeth with hatred, "The Huo Family has nothing to do with him! It’s me who’s collaborating with D&S, and once it’s successful, Jizhou and I will inherit the Huo Family’s assets."

Huo Jinnan looked at Huo Jinyun, speaking in Louise’s tone, "Since neither of us wants him to be the winner, why don’t we sideline him and work together, how about it?"
