Chapter 309: 311 It’s really him! (2)_1
The old man’s face gradually tensed up at the mention of "Jindong Group," "What’s its market value?"
"Currently, the registered capital is one hundred billion."
One hundred billion?
The old man looked towards Huo Jinnan’s direction, his pupils suddenly dilated. Was this the masterpiece he meticulously plotted over so many years?
After seven years, he presented it to his own grandfather as a birthday gift?
Not only the old man but Huo Jinyun also heard the rumor, suddenly losing all color in her face. No matter how much blush she applied, it couldn’t hide the pallor.
She pulled Gu Jizhou aside, thinking of his strange behavior earlier, and asked in a heavy voice, "Jizhou, did you know about this all along?"
Gu Jizhou looked at Huo Jinyun, noticed her complexion, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Know about what?"
Huo Jinyun glanced back at the world inside the door, where her brother, whom she had always feared, was destined to become the protagonist of the day!
And it was all his own scheme!
Thinking of the company’s name, a chill surged from the soles of her feet and rapidly spread throughout her body, causing her to uncontrollably shiver.
"Mom!"
Gu Jizhou called out.
Huo Jinyun snapped back to reality and looked at Gu Jizhou, thinking about how all her years of hard work couldn’t compare to Anan’s single move!
And Jizhou, so disappointing, obsessed over Che Huan, refusing to listen to her and get along with Du Yuesheng!
The more she thought, the angrier she got. She glared at Gu Jizhou with resentful reproach and said disdainfully, "What on earth do you pay attention to all the time? Go check the headlines in the business news yourself!"
Is there another problem with the company?
Gu Jizhou had rarely cared about the company’s affairs recently. He picked up his phone, opened the news webpage, and upon seeing the words "Mr. Huo" in big letters on the business section, his pupils dilated.
It’s him, isn’t it?
He opened the comments section, where the top comment revealed Mr. Huo’s identity; seeing the name "Huo Jinnan," he felt as if a pair of ice-cold hands were tightening around his neck.
He had always thought his uncle couldn’t possibly be only indulging in card games, road trips, photography; he investigated for so long yet found nothing!
Huo Jinyun looked at Gu Jizhou, who was staring at his phone screen, and her suspicions grew. Could it be that Jizhou was clueless? Then why was he always so focused on Anan? Was there something else going on?
After a pause, she warned sharply, "From today onwards, remember to be careful in everything you do! Don’t provoke your uncle!"
"..."
Gu Jizhou was silent, his face turning white.
"Don’t provoke your uncle!"
"Don’t provoke your uncle!"
...
He had heard this line too many times over the years; he was sick of it!
Perhaps some people are natural enemies; perhaps that was the case with him and Huo Jinnan.
He turned to look in Huo Jinnan’s direction and stared for a long time.
Huo Jinyun looked at Gu Jizhou, feeling as though a heavy stone was suddenly pressing on her chest, struggling to breathe, "I’m going in first."
Gu Jizhou stood there, lit a cigarette, and put it in his mouth, tasting nothing!
The man in his sight was like a hunting lion, lying in wait for a long time, ready for an all-out strike to tear apart his prey once he made his move.
And was he that prey?
This thought flashed through his mind, and he looked again towards Huo Jinnan. So, was Gucheng Group’s recent suppression and consecutive financial tightness all linked to his uncle?
The force that lurked in the shadows was finally about to surface?
