At this moment, Zhao Qian’s father’s expressions were as wonderful as lanterns with a carousel of paper horses. He was completely exasperated and didn’t know if he felt more embarrassed or angry, “You — aren’t you worried that I’ll cancel our collaboration?”
A big influential family like the Huo family didn’t even put the Zhao family in their eyes, as they were as tiny as an ant to them.
The reason why Head Zhao was so courageous about his interrogation was because of the mining mountain in Salt City.
The two families had already finished discussing everything, all they needed to do was sign the paper.
However, neither of them expected their children to have conflict at a crucial time like this.
“Salt City? The mining mountain?” Huo Yao’s cold voice raised a little, “Head Zhao, I think you overestimate yourself.”
“Collaboration?” The man laughed lowly, “I’m afraid you haven’t even figured out your position yet.”
“It’s easier than killing an ant if the Huo family wants you dead.”
“It’s not like I haven’t killed somebody for their properties before.”
“Head Zhao—” As a chill shot up from Zhao Qian’s father’s feet, Huo Yao tapped the table again without expression and spoke thought-provokingly, “I’m not warning you.”
“Rather, I’m informing you.”
“I will get my hands on the mining mountain in Salt City,” Huo Yao stated frigidly, “If you don’t give it to me, then there’s no need for the Zhao family to exist anymore.”
Of course, even if he did give the mining mountain to Huo Yao, he didn’t plan on letting the Zhao family go anyway, as that reckless trash dared to push his daughter.
Huo Chenyu was silent. “…”
He stared blankly as the heartless dog man threatened Head Zhao to give him the mining mountain, but also secretly plotted to make the Zhao family collapse at the same time.
He simply… just couldn’t be more of a dog than that.
If this was in a drama, then he’d be a typical villain who strived to achieve his goal by all means.
As the father and son were joining their hands together in doing something evil, a soft and milky voice sounded.
“Daddy…”
“Brodda…”
Her milky voice sounded inaudible as she had just woke up and for once, the father and son exchanged a glance whilst connected on a deeper level; both of them turned expressionless.
Huo Chenyu walked over and rubbed his younger sister’s hair, scooping her into his arms and asked in a low voice,
“What’s Sangsang doing here?”
The little thing was smarter than ordinary children and she understood a lot more.
Huo Yao’s cold expressions froze slightly and in order to avoid the child from being traumatized, he mercilessly hung up Head Zhao’s call.
Zhao Qian’s father stared at the phone. “…..” Oi, f*** you.

Ye Sang hugged her older brother’s neck tightly in silence and rubbed her eyes. She tilted her head to the side and asked in her milky voice,
“Daddy, why do you need the mining mountain?”
Huo Yao was stumped by her question.
Why do I need it?
Obviously for killing and setting people on fire!
But how was he supposed to explain this to her?
How could he tell the truth to his daughter?
Definitely not.
Huo Yao shot a glance at Huo Chenyu coldly.
Why are you just standing there?
Help your old man explain this!!
“…”
Huo Chenyu looked down at his confused little sister. Their little friend Huo Chenyu was always praised as a genius but he finally understood what it meant to be speechless for the first time.
“The mining mountain…” The young boy pursed his lips together, “It is a mountain.”
“…” Could you explain it more half-heartedly than that?
The little thing blinked her cat eyes, feeling puzzled, “Then is daddy going to go mountain climbing?”
Or why else would her evil daddy want a mining mountain?
“Pff.” Huo Chenyu couldn’t control his laughter.
Huo Yao’s face turned dark.
“…”
Mountain climbing your ass!
