Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 20: Walking into the Gun’s Line of Fire
Huo Zhenyang’s face was grim as his gaze swept over the crowd, finally resting on his younger brother. The inky depths of his eyes were impenetrable, sending chills up people’s spines, making them shudder without the cold.
"Big brother, you’re here," Huo Zhenxuan was a bit guilty and hurriedly endured the pain to get up, glancing at Jiayi and accusing her before anyone else could, "I was just thinking of walking Miss Luo home since she was alone, I didn’t expect this Miss Luo to be so unreasonable. Good intentions mistook for donkey’s liver and lungs, having George do this to me...e, big brother, it seems like your judgment isn’t that great after all, choosing such a shrew!"
Jiayi almost choked on a surge of blood, ready to defend herself, but her wrist was suddenly pulled by the man beside her.
"Enough, get in the car." Huo Zhenyang’s voice was deep.
Jiayi saw that his face was terrifyingly dark and suppressed her anger, getting into the car first.
"What, that’s it? Did I get beaten for nothing? Big brother, do you really want this kind of woman?" Huo Zhenxuan saw that his big brother didn’t say anything and became bold again.
Huo Zhenyang motioned for George to come over and whispered to him. His handsome face, like an immortal’s, became chillingly cold as he contemptuously and indifferently glanced at Huo Zhenxuan, slightly narrowing his eyes and speaking with a voice as if crawling from underground, filled with murderous intent, "What women I want, do you have the right to comment? Be careful or you and your mother’s skins will suffer."
"Big brother... no matter what, I am your brother! My mother and I are your family!" Huo Zhenxuan was overwhelmed by the coldness radiating from the man in front of him.
"Brother? Family?" Huo Zhenyang’s thin lips suddenly curled, his smile like the King of Hell’s chilling the bones, and then the smile disappeared in an instant, his eyes flashing sharply, "So what?" His long arm reached out and pinched the man’s neck, now as pale as clay.
Under the tightening grip of his slender fingers, the sound of neck bones crackling echoed, causing Huo Zhenxuan’s breath to stall as if it were frozen.
Over the years, big brother had dominated the business world, smoothly triumphing over competitors, and naturally engaged in many gray activities in private!
Publicly, he was a business tycoon in G City, the dragon head of finance, but behind closed doors, he was the dark king who could overturn clouds and rain, deciding the fate and future of countless people!
As long as it was beneficial to him and the Huo Group, he didn’t care about using any means necessary, so what was family to him!
Three years ago, when the Huo Group was competing for a major project with a business tycoon from the Island Nation, that tycoon mysteriously died overnight at a nightclub!
The year before last, two leaders within Taiwan’s underworld Triad Society clashed for power. One of them flew overnight to G City seeking Huo Zhenyang’s help, and ten days later, he took over as the Triad Society Leader, since then becoming obedient and immensely grateful to Huo Zhenyang!
Last year, an enemy of the Vice President of an oil nation in East Asia was being hunted and reportedly smuggled himself to G City. The Vice President didn’t contact G City’s government but directly reached out to the Huo Group. Within a month, the political adversary was caught and sent back to his country by private jet arranged by the Huo Group, highlighting the immense, internationally recognized covert power of the Huo Family!
Huo Zhenxuan gasped for air, realizing that just a few days ago, he had been audacious enough to send paparazzi to snap pictures of him!
If it weren’t for the old man’s sake, Huo Zhenyang might have already disposed of him!
"Big brother... I... I was wrong about the sneaky photography, my mind was possessed. I won’t even think about intruding into headquarters anymore," Huo Zhenxuan finally felt waves of fear.
With a "crack," the grip tightened, and the man’s brows arched, seemingly unsatisfied with that statement.
Huo Zhenxuan quickly came to his senses, "Miss Luo... I won’t contact her anymore, won’t even talk to her...!"
Finally satisfied, the man loosened his grip, got into the car, started the engine, and drove away from Huo Garden.
Huo Zhenxuan sat on the ground, staring blankly at the receding car, not yet recovering from his shock when George hoisted him over his shoulder and walked him toward a quiet alley next to Huo Garden.
"What are you doing, I’ve already apologized to big brother..." Huo Zhenxuan’s outcry was muffled as George covered his mouth and face.
"The president said you still need to understand the consequences of your mistakes," said George, handling it like any other job.
The robust man carried the entitled son into the soundproof alley behind Huo Garden, where no one passed by.
Ten seconds later, the agonizing screams of a young man and the swooshing sound of fists flying through the air could be heard.
They lingered for a long time, horrifyingly gruesome.

"Did you have George teach Second Young Master a lesson?" Jiayi nearly jumped out of the passenger seat.
"Hmm." The man held the steering wheel, his tone very calm.
Jiayi was somewhat surprised, she had thought that since she had hit his brother, he would be inclined to side with his brother... unexpected.
This man was actually defending her, an outsider, like this.
"But, after all, Second Young Master is also the old man’s son. What if he goes back and talks to the old man, won’t it affect you negatively?" She stammered.
"Dare he talk nonsense?" Huo Zhenyang turned the steering wheel, a smile with a hint of amusement emerging, yet the smile flickered as he realized this girl was concerned about him.
The man’s handsome visage showed a determination to win and a gaze that seemed to look down on all creatures, making Jiayi laugh at her own earlier worries. What could this man possibly fear?
At this moment, Huo Zhenyang spoke, his tone a bit colder this time, "Who gave you permission to go to Huo Garden?"
It was done for, she had thought that with the commotion caused by Second Young Master Huo, the issue of her going to Huo Garden would be sidetracked, but she still couldn’t escape his interrogation. Jiayi stuck out her tongue and played dumb, "You never said I couldn’t go."
Huo Zhenyang wasn’t as easily pacified as George, his voice colder by a degree, "Oh, is that so? Before you left, George should have told you that visiting Huo Garden wasn’t included in your plans for leaving the house, right?"
"...But he also didn’t say I couldn’t go." Jiayi saw his face looking very unpleasant and continued to act cute.
"Then why didn’t you call me before you went?" Huo Zhenyang didn’t respond to her attempt at being cute and continued grilling her like a criminal.
Jiayi hurriedly said, "My phone was dead!"
"Heh, is that so? I just gave you a new phone, fully charged. Did it run out of battery so quickly?"
"I was using the phone to surf the web for several hours in the hotel before leaving, and I was just about to call you when I found out it was dead."
What a clever little fox she was, with such a quick-witted mind.
Huo Zhenyang chuckled coldly, pulled out his phone, and dialed her number on the spot.
"Fine, then let’s see if it’s really dead."
Jiayi panicked; it was too late to turn off the phone, all she could do was to watch helplessly as the ringtone for her exclusive phone began to play.
"Here comes the pig, here comes the pig, grunt grunt grunt grunt a pig is calling you..."
Screech! The sports car came to an abrupt stop at the roadside.
The handsome face of the man turned dark.
Jiayi reflexively shrank back, it was over! She had really stepped on a landmine!
"What kind of ridiculous ringtone is this, who told you to change it?"
Huo Zhenyang snatched her small slouchy bag, pulled out the white exclusive fruit-brand phone, and to his further irritation, the caller ID photo displayed was actually a pig’s head!
Seeing that the man’s face was about to explode, Jiayi quickly grabbed the phone back into her bag and started to laugh, "Oh, I saw the ringtone and picture were cute while browsing, so I changed it just like that, I can just change it back, right?"
