Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Lord Jiao: To touch Qin Family, first pass through Huo Family

Nangong Chang’s unnoteworthy attitude had perfectly showcased the character of a dissipated noble.

Master Huo sipped his tea, speaking mildly, "You always seem to live so freely."

Nangong Chang responded with a beaming face, "But your life seems even more carefree than mine."

In the Capital City, everyone knew that Master Huo had fragile health and rarely involved himself in external disputes. He made an appearance only when extremely significant affairs needed attending to.

The undertone of Nangong Chang’s comment was not lost on anyone.

Master Huo dropped his gaze, and nonchalantly remarked, "An idle man will not visit the Imperial Court. So, tell me, why are you here today?"

Nangong Chang didn’t beat around the bush, "Recently, Huo Chuan took someone away from my place, are you aware of this, Master Huo?"

Master Huo responded calmly, "Huo Chuan is not with me at the moment. I sent him away on other business this afternoon."

Nangong Chang’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred a bit.

Huo Chuan was Master Huo’s confidant, and the fact that the Huo Family valued the Qin Family enough to send him away was significant.

Nangong Chang held his teacup steady, his exterior as calm as an old dog, but his mind was in turmoil.

Seeing Nangong Chang’s thoughtful expression, Master Huo said with a soft smile, "I’m not entirely clear on the specific circumstances. I’ll call Huo Chuan later. They always act reasonably, they won’t cause any harm."

Upon hearing that, Nangong Chang almost lost his cool.

Reason my ass!

The style in which the hidden guards of the Huo Family operated meant Tang Ya would likely be subjected to extreme torment.

Master Huo’s words effectively conveyed that Huo Chuan’s actions were authorized, and he had no intention of interfering.

Nangong Chang furrowed his brows slightly and sighed, "I acquired a new toy recently, but before I had a chance to play with it, it was taken away by Huo Chuan. I must admit, I’m a bit reluctant to let it go."

Master Huo raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze cool and calm, "You should be preparing for your wedding, and less focused on such distractions."

Nangong Chang stared at Huo Yunjiao meaningfully, "Easier said than done. Once one has tasted the bliss of love, the heart becomes restless. Master Huo, you’ve experienced this, I’m sure you understand."

The implications of this statement were quite significant.

Huo Yunjiao had been avoiding the company of women for years. In the last three decades, there hadn’t been a single woman by his side.

Nangong Chang’s words indicated that he knew Huo Yunjiao was no longer pure.

It was no secret to the Nangong Family that the Su Family had been plotting against him.

Master Huo peered at his visitor, his eyes as tranquil as still water, and a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth remained unaltered.

He set his teacup down on the table, the movement so graceful it was almost entrancing.

Master Huo looked at Nangong Chang and said with a smile, "Understanding aside, fidelity is a virtue, Wenrou is headstrong, and it will be wise for you to avoid antagonizing her."

At this remark, Nangong Chang’s face changed for the first time.

The mild demeanor he had fabricated faltered for a moment, revealing a shadow that quickly passed as he resumed his previous composure. However, this brief lapse did not escape Master Huo’s notice.

Nangong Chang had been genuinely unsettled by his words.

Everyone in Capital City knew of Xiao Wenrou’s feelings for Master Huo.

Several years ago, Xiao Wenrou and Master Huo had shared a brief encounter. She had danced the opening dance with him at a party.

It was during this short interaction that Xiao Wenrou fell deeply in love, she was determined to marry Master Huo.

For years, she had been keeping an eye on Master Huo, even boldly proclaiming that she would marry no one but him.

If it weren’t for the Nangong Family making a marital alliance to solidify the partnership with the Xiao Family, Xiao Wenrou might still be fixated on Master Huo.

Nangong Chang lowered his gaze and said softly, "Indeed, Wenrou is quite headstrong."

That foolish woman had embarrassed him. He would certainly punish her when he returned.

Nangong Chang no longer wanted to skirt around the subject and asked Huo Yunjiao directly, "Master Huo, forgive my lack of eloquences, but what is the relationship between the Huo Family and the Qin Family?"

Master Huo responded casually, "Which Qin Family?"

Nangong Chang: "The Qin Family Corporation, the one that made their fortune in the jewelry business."

Master Huo feigned recollection and momentarily revealed a look of sudden realization.

His eyes twinkled with amusement as he chuckled, "Right now, there isn’t much of a relationship. As for the future, who knows?"

The Huo Family’s relationship with the Qin Family was unbeknownst to outsiders as Master Huo’s wedding with Qin Ruan has yet to take place.

Master Huo’s comment was, for the most part, true.

It was deliberately ambiguous, as if he was deliberately playing games.

Nangong Chang’s hand by his side clenched into a fist, "Master Huo, let’s be frank with each other, the person Huo Chuan took from me has been taken to the Qin Family."

Master Huo was fully aware of Qin Ruan’s current actions.

Qin Jingcen has been set up by his fiancée, and the shadow of the Nangong Family looms behind this incident.

Master Huo had investigated the matter thoroughly after Qin Ruan’s departure.

Given Qin Ruan’s usual behavior, this issue wouldn’t cost anyone their lives. Since that was the case, Master Huo had decided to leave it be.

What he didn’t expect, however, was for Nangong Chang to come knocking at his door.

Could a woman of no social standing possibly capture the attention of the ambitious Nangong Chang?

Master Huo mentally shrugged; that seemed implausible.

Nangong Chang was the eldest son of the Nangong Family. Although he appeared to be a man of leisure, repeatedly refusing invitations to join the Cabinet, he wouldn’t be such a weightless figure in the grand scheme of the Nangong Family.

The truth was far from that image. He was highly regarded in the Nangong Family. His ruthless and ruthless methods were beyond human imagination, verging on malicious.

In essence, Nangong Chang was a wolf, brutal and ruthless - a man one should not underestimate.

Master Huo allowed a faint smile to cross his features. He fixed his gaze on Nangong Chang, his voice low and gentle, "What do you plan to do?"

Nangong Chang spoke fiercely, "I don’t wish to keep the Qin Family around anymore."

Master Huo responded casually, "The Huo Family will protect them."

Nangong Chang: "If they have no connection to you, kindly allow me to proceed."

Master Huo: "I can’t do that."

Nangong Chang: "Master Huo..."

Huo interrupted him, "Nangong Chang, I’ll be candid. If you want to harm the Qin Family, you have to get past the Huo Family first."

A glint flashed in Nangong Chang’s eyes, "If you don’t give me a reason to spare the Qin Family, I’m afraid I won’t be able to swallow this insult."

Master Huo adjusted his posture, leaning slightly towards Nangong Chang. His voice was laced with a chilling undertone, "Nangong Chang, I know your temperament. You are not a man who would move mountains and cross seas for a woman. You merely wish to probe me using this opportunity."

Nangong Chang’s face changed in an instance, a radiant smile lighting his features, and his eyes softened a bit.

He laughed, sounding pleased and delighted, "Master Huo never disappoints. I was genuinely curious about how a minor, powerless family attracted the attention of the Huo Family. It’s truly admirable how you saw through my little act."

Master Huo straightened his posture, touched his clothes as if brushing off non-existent dust, "You wouldn’t need me to explain, I guess you can figure it out. After all, it’s not an obscure matter."

The Imperial Court Hotel belonged to the Su Family, and the Su Family had already formed an alliance with the Nangong and Xiao Families.

Everything he did at Imperial Court Hotel would be something they all knew about.

Nangong Chang’s visit today was only to probe the Huo Family’s attitude towards the Qin Family.

To see what Qin Ruan meant to him.
