spring bite mark

Chapter 206 Savior
Huo Yungui wasn't stupid; he immediately realized he'd fallen into someone else's trap.

More uniformed security guards were already approaching. Huo Yungui, his hands restrained, stood there pale-faced, trying to prove his innocence.
"I was delivering it for someone else, you can check the security footage! I don't know anything, go find Mu Laowu, he's messing with me!"

“We’ll check the surveillance footage, and we’ll go find the person.” The security guard looked at him coldly. “But even if you’re not the culprit, you’re an accomplice. Stay put and wait. The police will be here soon. Save your words for the station.”

Another security guard sneered, "You've got some nerve. Do you know who's on this floor today? Forget about drugs, if anyone here gets even the slightest fright, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail!"

In the constant 24-degree environment, Huo Yungui was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat.

The two brothers downstairs were brought up.

Meanwhile, the security guards who went down to check the surveillance footage brought bad news: "The surveillance cameras at the plot site pointed out by this man surnamed Huo are all broken."

"What conspiracy point? They set up my location!" Huo Yungui hissed. "The fact that the surveillance cameras are broken proves it even more. They're just guilty!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Li Laowu:

"You bastard! What have I ever done to wrong you that you would cheat me like this? Did you ask me to come and help you yesterday with the intention of cheating me?"

Li Laowu's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "Huo Yungui, don't make baseless accusations. You were the one who took advantage of me going to the restroom, stole my work badge, and pushed the fruit cart up here. You're saying I tricked you? You need to provide evidence."

Huo Yungui stared intently at him: "I actually became brothers with a heartless bastard like you for over ten years—Liu Zi, you were there too, you tell me!"

Liu Zi dared not meet Huo Yun Gui's gaze, his voice a little hoarse: "I...I didn't see or hear anything."

Huo Yungui's last remaining hope was gradually extinguished:

"Good! Very good! If I can get out of here alive this time, I'll tear you two bastards apart with my bare hands!"

The door to the outer hall of the conference room was half open.

No matter how well the noise in the corridor is controlled, it is still inevitable that the tranquility of the outer hall will be disturbed.

The group of Chongqing's high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were chatting and drinking tea frowned slightly. Then, led by the head of the Chen family, several other heads of wealthy families stood up and walked out of the outer hall.

Someone frowned: "What happened here?"

The security personnel immediately stepped forward and whispered what had happened.

In an instant, several pairs of indifferent eyes turned towards Huo Yungui. The head of the Lan family was among them, but when he looked at Huo Yungui, a clear look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Huo Yungui also saw these powerful figures from the wealthy families coming out of the outer hall.

His eyes fell on the only person he recognized, the head of the Lan family, and his gaze lit up slightly: "Uncle Lan, I'm innocent!"

The head of the Lan family coldly reprimanded, "You worthless wretch! I've told you countless times: it's one thing to be ignorant and incompetent, but don't go astray by hanging out with all sorts of scoundrels! Now you've suffered a great loss. Don't even think about calling me; calling the Heavenly King himself won't do you any good! Do you know who's in the inner hall? This isn't a place you can just show up in!"

After saying that, he turned to the security guards and other powerful figures, his tone softening slightly: "I know this kid. He's a good-for-nothing, but he wouldn't dare do something like this. It's best to find out more..."

The security guard nodded: "We will naturally cooperate with the police to investigate thoroughly, Mr. Lan. Rest assured, since he is a junior you know, we will definitely check carefully." The head of the Lan family glared at Huo Yungui and then asked the security guard: "You said the surveillance cameras were damaged. I remember that the Yudu International Hotel seems to have a very advanced hidden surveillance system?"

Before the security guard could speak, the hotel manager, who had just arrived, explained: "There is indeed a top-of-the-line backup monitoring system, but the authorization for that system is complicated, and even our general manager is not authorized to access it."

"Then who can access it?"

The hotel manager took a deep breath, pointed to the closed door in the conference room, and said in a very low voice:

"Only the chairman's signature and authorization are required. But with someone at the chairman's level, we wouldn't dare trouble him with such a trivial matter..."

The head of the Lan family was silent for a moment: "Do you have the application documents? Give them to me, I'll try to find him."

The hotel manager nodded: "Yes. I'll have someone bring it over right away. But I'd like to remind Mr. Lan that I've heard our chairman dislikes being bothered by others over such trivial matters. If he's unhappy, the Lan family head might not be so happy in the future..."

The Lan family leader's face stiffened: "Give it to us first."

Then, looking at the dejected Huo Yungui, she was furious: "If I weren't afraid that Sisi would make a scene in front of me, I wouldn't bother with all this mess! But I'll give it a try today. Whether I can help you or not, I hope you stay away from my daughter in the future and stop delaying her."

At this moment, Huo Yungui had no mind to think about personal matters; he didn't even know if he could save his own life!

"Uncle Lan, thank you for today no matter what." After he finished speaking, his face turned even paler.

Just then, the door to the inner hall opened, and Shen Zongqian came out to retrieve some documents. He immediately spotted Huo Yungui, who was being held captive in the corridor.

He paused briefly, then immediately went back into the inner hall.

Inside the hall, a dozen distinguished young masters from top conglomerates sat comfortably in their chairs, looking humbly and attentively at Yan Changye, who sat at the head of the table.

Compared to their slight tension, Yan Changye's posture was much more relaxed and comfortable. His slender fingers slowly twirled his teacup, his voice casual:
"The plan to establish this large-scale children's amusement park should have been discussed with your fathers, but after talking with Chairman Wang from Shanghai and Chairman Shen from Guangdong last time, I felt that their thinking was too conservative, so I decided to directly connect with everyone here."

The young master of the Shen family in Yuecheng said respectfully, "Chairman Yan, it's our honor to have you, with your status, invite us to do this project. I just bought a piece of land in the suburbs a few days ago, which can be used as the first pilot project for a children's amusement park..."

The young master of the Wang family in Shanghai chuckled lightly: "Young Master Shen can't enjoy all the benefits alone. We also have a place in Shanghai, right next to Disneyland. Chairman Yan, Chinese culture is leading the trend now. I am very confident that if the second pilot project is held in Shanghai, with our Chinese theme, it will soon replace Disneyland's position and attract customers all over the world."

"Ahem, Chairman Yan, I've prepared the funds. Shenzhen, shall we make it the third pilot city?" The young master of Shenzhen also spoke with a smile.

Not to be outdone, the other princes also revealed their own strengths...

Amid an elegant yet intense discussion, Shen Zongqian pushed open the door and whispered something in Yan Changye's ear.

Yan Changye raised an eyebrow slightly, then gestured for the assembled princes to pause.

"I'm going out to take care of something. You guys discuss this internally first."
