1777: An Heir Who Doesn’t Even Care About The Big Picture

An Heir Who Doesn’t Even Care About The Big Picture

Huo Qing smiled and said quickly, "Last night, Young Master Yulin offended Count Kerr because of Miss Huo. The family doesn't need an heir who doesn't even care about the big picture."1

Huo Wanying narrowed her eyes and did not answer right away.

"I heard that Master Jinfeng is very good to his niece." Huo Qing paused briefly. "Just think about it. What matters more? Power or some useless so-called attention from him?"

Huo Wanying instinctively squeezed her hands. After some time, she said coldly, "I will pretend I didn't hear you saying this. From now on, don't bring it up again."

Huo Wanying strode out of the meeting room the moment she finished her sentence.

After she was gone, the elders glanced at each other.

"Huo Wanying is a proud woman. We might have trouble controlling her," After some time, the Eldest Elder frowned and spoke.

"You're wrong." Huo Qing glanced at the Eldest Elder and leaned into the seat casually. "People like her make the best weapons."

Huo Wanying was proud and competitive. She would never allow someone to threaten her status.

As for Master Jinfeng's niece, the show had only just begun.

A light glinted in Huo Qing's eyes. He raised his head and suggested. "Perhaps it's time to prepare a test for the potential heirs. What do you think?"

...

Huo Wanying walked out of the union building.

Her subordinate had already driven the car over. When he opened the car door for her, he noticed the annoyance on her face. He could not help asking. "Miss Wanying, did something happen?"

Huo Wanying shook her head without speaking. She bent over and got into the car.

The subordinate closed the door, quickly got into the car as well, and started the engine.

"Miss Wanying, are we going to the estate or somewhere else?" asked the subordinate as he drove into the street.

Huo Wanying veered her eyes from the car window and took out her phone. She swiped down to a phone number and sent a text message.

After a few minutes, she finally received a reply.

She raised her head and gave an address to the subordinate.

Meanwhile, at the count's residence.

Morey had just regained consciousness. Last night, he nearly died from the gunshot in his chest due to delayed treatment.

Fan Shun told his men to send Morey medication to keep him alive until he could complete the surgery. Morey was no longer in critical condition.

He lay in bed listening to his secretary's reports. After hearing what he said, Morey was so angry that he swept the bedside lamp to the ground. In the process, he inadvertently pulled his wound. His face instantly turned pale from the pain.

"Why did we fail? How could you let this happen?"

The secretary stood still without daring to move. He smiled sadly, shaking his head. "We didn't expect Huo Yulin from the Huo family to disregard basic courtesy and surround the count's residence."

Morey closed his eyes. After the pain in his chest finally passed, he said, "This is insane. He's insane through and through!"

"More importantly, the chairman of the Weapons Bureau probably thinks that we were behind the incident last night at the count's residence. If we don't handle it well… this could end up really bad for us." The secretary spoke in a worried tone.

They had such a good plan but it unexpectedly failed!

They wanted to make Min Yu owe them a favor using this opportunity.

"Oh yes. One more thing. Mr. Fan's secret guards died in the same room as Prince Rocco. If we are not mistaken, the girl from the Huo family was also hiding in the room," added the secretary.

Rocco was the official heir to the throne. Owing to his special status, no one dared to disturb him or ask him about this incident.

Morey promptly narrowed his eyes on hearing this. "Does Rocco know the girl?"
