Humans will always make bigger mistakes to cover up their previous mistakes. Each wrong step leads to multiple wrong steps. Of course, this was about Chen Lian Dong. After he whispered into Huo Yuan Guang's ear, it made the latter furrow his eyebrows with whatever he said.
Huo Yuan Guang slowly lifted up his head, deep in thought. After a while he said,
"This plan is too dangerous. There's no real reason to do it."
"You said it yourself. To be human, you must be ruthless. And Huo Ming Chen is a heartless man himself. If Huo Ming Cheng does everything in his power to push him up, all those things we suffered for, all the things we worked so hard for, wouldn't it all just become his?"
What Chen Lian Dong was saying was what Huo Yuan Guang was the most worried about. No matter how many hidden cards he could have, when he inherits the company, his position is not as justifiable and right as Huo Ming Chen's would be.
Huo Yuan Guang's eyes were closed as he rubbed at his eyebrows, and after a while it felt like he had made a decision on something as he suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliance flashing by them. He furrowed his eyebrows, and slowly looked at Chen Lian Dong and asked,
"Who do you think is suitable for this?"
This time around Chen Lian Dong was not as stupid. Last time he was suddenly given the task to eliminate Zhang-Shu and for no reason jumped into Huo Ming Chen's trap. This time around, he would not say anything that would get him involved. He only wanted to use Huo Yuan Guang instead.
"Chairman, that would depend on your network. Those that I know are all lowly hooligans, dependable maybe, or not really, and could instead easily ruin things......"
Listening to him, Huo Yuan Guang did not agree nor disagree, only saying,
"This kind of plan is different and unusual. I have to think it over. Go back first."
Huo Ming Chen was different from Zhang-Shu. If anything happened to him, not only would Huo Ming Cheng investigate, but his father would too. Investigate until the perpetrator was found. If the police join in, there would be no hiding within the city, especially with the attention of the media. This was not the result desired by Huo Yuan Guang.
Perhaps, the plan could be changed to something more suitable. All he really needed to do was to think of something that would hinder Huo Ming Chen and make him unable to show up at the board meeting. When he completely obtains the position of the chairman, no matter when Huo Ming Chen appears, it would have already been too late.
That night, everyone had their own ongoing schemes and plans. They knew, no matter if they win or lose, whatever the outcome would be, it is all coming to an end.
But compared to the others, Huo Ming Chen's heart was still holding a heavy stone. He has never liked to be indecisive, and when he sets his eyes on something, he will go down that path until the end, no matter what the cost would be, no matter how much he would need to suffer. But he doesn't know what Lu Qi is thinking in his heart.
He wants to ask, but he doesn't want to hear an answer that is different from his own.
He hoped that the entirety of what they have was not just a one-sided feeling on his part.
Thinking up to this point, Huo Ming Chen suddenly got out of bed, and emotionlessly grabbed a coat that was hanging at the front of the bed. This was left from when Lu Qi still had his freshman military training. He said that he would come pick it up, but at the end of the day, it never happened.
His eyes felt like they were shooting lasers at his coat, as if that would let him see Lu Qi. He said meanly,
"Why am I thinking about it so much, after all you must be willing whether you are willing or not."
