Chapter 848 - Chapter 848 Chapter 848 The Huo Family Head Personally Comes

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: The Huo Family Head Personally Comes to Apologize Chapter 848: Chapter 848: The Huo Family Head Personally Comes to Apologize Huo Chi, even though his heart was in turmoil, dared not refuse the call and hastily picked up the phone, his hands shaking as he pressed the answer button.

“Big brother?”

A chilling voice, indifferent and shadowy, faintly responded, “I’m giving you one day, either you come back on your own or shall I send someone to fetch you?”

“Big brother, listen to my explanation…”

Before he could finish, the call was disconnected.

Huo Chi’s limbs went weak, and he finally realized he was doomed.

Suddenly, he thought, had Tianqi blown this up just to wait for him here?

Having angered Huo Lin, he had no way out.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Huo Chi made another call, “Book me a ticket abroad, anywhere is fine, and do it now.”

If he couldn’t fight, he could still run.

Once the storm passed, he could come back and apologize.

Huo Chi’s eyes darkened, a fierce light flashing through them. Before leaving, there was one more thing he needed to do.

…

After thoroughly dealing with Huo Chi, Qiao Yun then focused on the assessment, when Han Wang’s phone inappropriately rang, a call from K harbor.

Han Wang raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing displeasure, “Teacher, there’s a call from the Huo Family.”

Qiao Yun showed disinterest with a nod, “Answer it.”

“Okay.” Han Wang answered the call in front of Qiao Yun, then pressed the speakerphone.

“Professor Han, hello, this is Huo Lin.”

The man’s voice was neither humble nor haughty, deep and husky, carrying an innate air of superiority.

Qiao Yun couldn’t help but glance sideways at the phone.

It was unexpected that Huo Lin would personally take action.

Han Wang glanced at Qiao Yun and, following her eye signal, coldly spoke, “What, coming to apologize?”

There was silence on the other end for a while before he spoke, “This time, the Huo Family owes you all. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me.”

Qiao Yun’s eyes moved slightly, her fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

This Huo Lin was indeed someone who could bend or stand as required.

But that was expected.

Huo Chi, spoiled and impetuous, hadn’t considered all the complexities before acting.

Tianqi wasn’t just a research institute; it held more than half of the global patents for new technologies and even had Shengqiao Group as its support.

If not for this, Huo Lin most likely wouldn’t have personally intervened to mediate.

Han Wang unapologetically said, “Fine, this is indeed what your Huo Family owes us. And about Huo Chi…”

“Don’t worry, the Huo Family will give Tianqi an explanation.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Han Wang didn’t want to talk further; having received another promise from the Huo Family, he directly hung up the call.

Others might fear Huo Lin, but she didn’t.

Han Wang pursed her lips and said, “Teacher, are we just going to let this go?”

Qiao Yun blinked her distinct black and white eyes and said, “It was Huo Chi who erred, and we should be clear about grudges. Yes, but as the Family Head, he failed to manage his own people and must pay some price.”

Han Wang asked expectantly, “So?”

Qiao Yun said, “They want the AI system; let’s invite them for a visit when it’s ready.”

Han Wang thought to herself, this is truly a killer blow.

The Huo Family had researched for so long, yet hadn’t succeeded, and now that Tianqi was going to market, inviting them to show off would surely have the Huo Family laughed to death.

Even though Han Wang wasn’t interested in these matters, she was already looking forward to the launch event.

…

The first round of assessment finally ended.

In stark contrast to the excitement of those who had passed the first round, Jiang Jing came out of the room in a daze, only to see Qiao Yun watching her expressionlessly with her delicate and pretty face.

Anger surged in Jiang Jing’s heart, wave after wave.

Qiao Yun said languidly, “You lost.”

Jiang Jing’s lips trembled, and her temples throbbed as she stared fiercely at Qiao Yun, her voice hoarse with accusation, “If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have lost at all. You are so despicable.”

Han Wang’s face darkened, genuinely puzzled by Jiang Jing’s twisted logic. She looked at Jiang Jing coldly, her eyes filled with warning.

Jiang Jing was not unaware of Han Wang’s warning, but she couldn’t care less at the moment.

Everyone believed she could be admitted by Tianqi, but it all fell apart in the first round. Her pride was shattered, and she couldn’t accept it.

“Qiao Yun, are you feeling happy now?”

Qiao Yun looked up at her, her eyes not showing disdain or mockery, only the same calmness as always, “Just by me sitting here, without competing with you, you have already lost to me.”

That light statement left Jiang Jing speechless, her face turning red as she stared at Qiao Yun.

She felt as if she was under a mountain called Qiao Yun, and without removing this mountain, she might never be able to succeed in her life.

Jiang Jing straightened her spine and gritted her teeth, “Without Tianqi, there are plenty who want me.”

Qiao Yun’s dark eyes gazed at her, casually saying, “You lost, you need to keep your promise.”

Jiang Jing said in shock, “Do you have to be so harsh?”

Qiao Yun instead asked in surprise, “It was your choice to bet, why blame me for being harsh?”

She had even given Jiang Jing a chance earlier, asking if she was sure about the bet. It was Jiang Jing who insisted, so she couldn’t blame her.

Jiang Jing calmed down and said logically, “Yes, it was my choice to bet, but the condition was whoever gets admitted by Tianqi first, yet you are not even a contestant.”

Her intention was to back out of the agreement.

Jiang Jing deeply regreted using her future as a stake, but she hadn’t envisioned losing.

Qiao Yun watched her for a while, then nodded lightly, “I understand now.”

Jiang Jing thought that this meant the matter would be dropped. Although she was still unsatisfied, there was nothing she could do but try to outdo Qiao Yun and hope to suppress her one day.

…

After Jiang Jing left, Han Wang asked in confusion, “Teacher, she was clearly being unreasonable.”

Qiao Yun replied with an innocent face, “I indeed understood what she said, but I didn’t say I would let it go.”

Han Wang: “…”

Language indeed is a great art.

Qiao Yun didn’t really care about Jiang Jing at all. No matter how Jiang Jing struggled, she was always destined to be beneath her.

Yet actually, without her doing anything, Jiang Jing had developed a psychological shadow towards her, making it difficult for her to breakthrough in the future.

Qiao Yun wrinkled her nose.

Some humans are really annoying, unable to keep their promises.

That’s not good.

…

During the break in the second round of assessments, Qiao Yun went out for some fresh air.

From a distance, she saw the figure of Li Hanzhou.

The man stood under the shade of a tree, tall and long-legged, with a dignified posture, one hand in his pocket and the other on a phone call.

Qiao Yun watched him for a while, then walked towards Li Hanzhou.

Li Hanzhou had come to watch mainly to accompany Qiao Yun. Knowing that Qiao Yun had faced obstacles on her way here, he was still worried and had come out early to contact someone for an investigation.

He had clout in Yuncheng, and his contact quickly provided him with the investigation results.

“Sir, according to our examination of the accident site, we can confirm that the hillside was tampered with in advance, which is why it collapsed so easily,”

Li Hanzhou’s expression turned cold rapidly.
