Chapter 2685: Chapter 2689: Beast! Kneel Before Me

Hearing the footsteps, he turned to look back, his eyes meeting Gu Junzhu’s, carrying a hint of apprehension and confusion, his delicate face full of unease.

Gu Junzhu’s heart softened.

No matter how smart and composed the little guy is, he’s just a child of seven or eight years old.

He can be afraid and bewildered.

Gu Junzhu quickened his pace, walked up to Huo Zhongqi, smiled, and reached out his hand: "Come on, let’s go home with me."

Huo Zhongqi stood up, placed his small hand in Gu Junzhu’s palm, and looked up at him: "Grandfather agreed?"

"He agreed!" Gu Junzhu rubbed his head with his other hand: "Don’t worry, I promised Xiao Shumiao that I would protect you well."

Huo Zhongqi’s tense little face relaxed a bit.

He held Gu Junzhu’s hand tightly, his eyes fixed on him: "Uncle, when I grow up, I will definitely repay you."

Gu Junzhu chuckled, "Alright, I’ll be waiting."

He didn’t say anything like there’s no need to repay.

He’s not that noble yet.

Saving this child is naturally because the child is pitiful.

But after doing a good deed, recompense is also needed.

Good deeds must be rewarded for more good people to appear in this world.

He will educate and nurture this child well, raising him to succeed.

When the child grows up and repays the kindness, it is the natural order of things.

If the child grows up and turns his back without acknowledgment, then he would have raised an ingrate.

But those are concerns for the future, now he needs to settle the child properly, protect him carefully, and prevent Huo Family from playing any dirty tricks.

He left with Huo Zhongqi from the Huo Family.

Just as he left, Senior Master Huo shouted angrily towards the door: "Call No. Fourth, immediately, right away!"

The subordinates were startled by the shout and hurriedly called Huo Qihang.

About half an hour later, Huo Qihang rushed back hurriedly.

As soon as he entered, an unknown object was hurled towards his head.

He instinctively tilted his head, a teacup grazed his ear and fell to the ground behind him, shattering.

Along with the crisp sound of porcelain breaking came Senior Master Huo’s angry roar: "You beast! Kneel down!"

Huo Qihang was stunned for a moment.

Though his mind was blank, his fear of Senior Master Huo made him instinctively kneel down.

Confused and nervous, he looked at Senior Master Huo: "Dad, what’s wrong?"

When Senior Master Huo’s subordinates called him, they did tell him that Senior Master Huo was furious and not in a light mood.

But when Senior Master Huo spoke with Gu Junzhu and Huo Zhongqi, everyone in the room was cleared out by him, and no one knew what they talked about.

Huo Qihang asked Senior Master Huo’s subordinates why he was angry, but even they didn’t know.

Senior Master Huo’s subordinates only knew that a man with the surname Gu came to visit with Huo Zhongqi.

After they left, Senior Master Huo angrily asked them to call Huo Qihang over.

Senior Master Huo’s subordinates didn’t even know the identity of the man with the surname Gu, they only knew he was handsome and carried a distinguished demeanor, obviously either rich or noble.

On the way here, Huo Qihang reflected on himself, thinking he hadn’t done anything wrong recently.

Senior Master Huo is getting older, and now is the tensest moment for the three brothers in vying for the Huo Group inheritance rights, he does everything cautiously, extremely carefully, not daring to make any mistakes.
