Yu Zimu’s face changed, "No way? Brother Huo, we—"

"This is an order."

Huo Jinnan walked out onto the balcony, his voice carrying a weight of power.

Yu Zimu remained silent, after all this effort, was it all for nothing in the end? He couldn’t quite understand why Brother Huo suddenly abandoned the merger with those twenty companies.

"What about Brother Nan—"

"I’ll talk to him."

Huo Jinnan muttered softly, hung up the phone, stood on the balcony of the study, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and called Qin Shaonan, "About the merger—"

Qin Shaonan, "I was just about to talk to you about this. I’ve discussed it with my fourth uncle, maybe we should forget about the merger."

Huo Jinnan blew out a smoke ring, "I was afraid you would be as unwilling as Yu Zimu."

Qin Shaonan, "I can’t help you for nothing, right? I’m planning to invest some shares in Nanhuan Entertainment."

Huo Jinnan chuckled lightly, "Nanhuan Entertainment is something I’m planning to give to Huanhuan, you can discuss it with her."

"..."

Qin Shaonan didn’t speak again.

Huo Jinnan thought about when he had Huo Bei investigate Qiao Qiao’s daughter, Huo Bei found that Ji Yan had taken Nini.

"Is Nini with you?"

Qin Shaonan’s voice turned icy, "Stay out of this."

"Understood, but since Qiao Qiao approached Huanhuan, I’m obliged to act. I will let her know Nini is with you."

Huo Jinnan twirled the cigarette between his fingers, pressed down the butt.

Qin Shaonan, "Suit yourself."

As soon as the words fell, he hung up the phone.

Huo Jinnan listened to the busy tone, standing there, extinguishing the cigarette, looking at the charred cigarette butt—it seemed he still couldn’t sit still, perhaps he should investigate Qiao Qiao’s matter himself?

Thinking about the assassin situation, he hesitated to knock on Ye Bai’s door, stood there, made a phone call, "Have you reached your father yet?"

Ye Bai, "He hasn’t returned my call yet."

Huo Jinnan, "Alright, thank your distinguished father for me."

Ye Bai affirmed with a "hmm" and hung up. Thinking it over again, it felt quite peculiar, his father was actually paying attention to Huo Jinnan’s matters—that’s abnormal!

...

Huo Jinnan stood on the balcony, mulling over Ye Bai’s recent lack of abnormalities, pregnancy nausea seemed to be easing, her figure appeared a bit heavier than before, the last incident probably didn’t affect the fetus—

While thinking, his phone rang.

Seeing it was Yu Zimu, he answered.

"Brother Huo, really not going forward?"

Huo Jinnan frowned, in terms of finance, Yu Zimu indeed had outstanding abilities, but in some respects, it felt he was half a step behind.

Jindong was already too conspicuous, at this point, there can’t be any extra moves, or those above would be unhappy.

Nothing should be overdone, letting others pick up the slack now is most fitting.

"Don’t make me say it twice."

Yu Zimu, "Got it!"

Huo Jinnan, "I can grant you a long vacation, take a break or go abroad, up to you, I’ll allow you a month off from the company."

Yu Zimu finally smiled, "Thank you, Brother Huo."

Huo Jinnan hung up the phone, returned to the room, seeing Qin Huan, "The company’s matters are resolved, completely free now."

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, frowning, "Isn’t the case still not tried?"

Huo Jinnan sat next to Qin Huan, "That’s the prosecution’s issue, although not yet tried, the outcome should be set."

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan spoke softly, "It should be a death sentence."

Qin Huan leaned on Huo Jinnan’s shoulder, "So—"

Huo Jinnan didn’t wait for her to finish, cut in mid-sentence, turned and kissed her forehead, "I can be with you every day now."
