Chapter 2684: Chapter 2688: About to Explode with Anger

"Qiqi is clearly a member of the Huo Family, yet Young Master Gu comes to my Huo Family to snatch him away; isn’t this behavior rather disgraceful?"

Gu Junzhu slightly curled his lips: "Chairman Huo, I understand your love for talent, and I am aware of your reluctance, but it’s not me trying to take him away. It’s Qiqi who said that if he stays with the Huo Family, his heart might be taken out, leading to an untimely death."

"As a man of flesh and blood, I cannot stand by and watch a perfectly healthy child have his heart removed and his life endangered. I am obligated to protect him."

"I will ensure Qiqi’s safety," Senior Master Huo said coldly. "Huo Zhongqi is my grandson; I absolutely will not allow anyone to take him from the Huo Family!"

Gu Junzhu looked at him, giving a light smile. "Chairman Huo, I hope you understand that I am sitting here not to negotiate Huo Zhongqi’s adoption with you, but to inform you!"

"If you agree with me, we will settle this privately. If you do not agree, we will take this to court."

Gu Junzhu picked up the recorder on the table, gently shaking it. "Chairman Huo, do you want this recording to become evidence in court?"

Senior Master Huo suddenly stood up, his face ashen, questioning Gu Junzhu: "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Junzhu stood up slowly, gracefully chuckling: "I am merely stating facts."

Senior Master Huo said angrily: "Young Master Gu, don’t abuse your power and bully others!"

Gu Junzhu chuckled and shook his head. "A father who raised a son who wants to take his adopted child’s heart, I think it’s harmless even if I use some power to bully him."

"You..." Senior Master Huo’s furious face changed from blue to white, coldly asking: "Does Young Master Gu really want to oppose my Huo Family for the sake of a child?"

Gu Junzhu casually placed one hand in his pocket, leisurely curling his lips: "Chairman Huo, if I were afraid to oppose your Huo Family, would I be here now?"

Senior Master Huo was so angry he almost spat blood.

The most frustrating thing in life is being humiliated and having no way to seek justice.

The Gu Family is a force he cannot provoke.

Even if he displayed a desperate attitude and fought with the Gu Family, the Gu Family might suffer losses, but the ultimate loser would undoubtedly be the Huo Family.

The most important point is that if the Gu Family truly abuses their power, they could still employ a public opinion campaign forcing the Gu Family to yield.

Someone like Senior Master Gu cares greatly about his reputation.

However, this issue is clearly unfavorable to the Huo Family.

Not to mention, if the recording from the recorder is exposed, the reputation of the Huo Family will be ruined.

Could outsiders tell who spoke those words, Senior Huo or someone else?

They would only perceive the Huo Family members as being cut from the same cloth, cursing them to no end.

He glared at Gu Junzhu with an iron-green complexion, full of anger but finding no channel to vent it.

In terms of power, he is no match for Gu Junzhu.

In terms of reason, justice is on Gu Junzhu’s side.

Besides helplessly watching Huo Zhongqi being taken away by Gu Junzhu, what else could he do?

Gu Junzhu looked at him, curling his lips: "If Chairman Huo has no objections, I will be taking my leave. Later, I will send lawyers over to discuss the matter of transferring the household registration for Qiqi. Please cooperate, so we don’t end up in court."

"I imagine Chairman Huo would certainly not want to see such a result."

Senior Master Huo’s face turned purple with anger, speechless.

Gu Junzhu smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Outside the door, Huo Zhongqi sat on the steps, his little head slightly raised, gazing at the distant unknown.
