Chapter 860 - Chapter 860 Chapter 860 With Nothing Left What Can Hate Do
Chapter 860: Chapter 860: With Nothing Left, What Can Hate Do? Chapter 860: Chapter 860: With Nothing Left, What Can Hate Do? For a moment, Huo Chi’s mind flashed with the idea that Huo Lin was doing this on purpose, without having to lay a finger on him, simply by stripping him of his identity as a member of the Huo Family, his future would become extremely difficult.
Especially now that he was paralyzed from the waist down, how much harder would it be for him to turn his life around?
A favored son of heaven had become a target that anyone could bully.
Huo Chi’s mind went blank, he knew he had gone too far this time, and Tianqi’s counterattack had caused the Huo Research Institute to suffer attacks; Huo Lin wouldn’t let him off easily.
But he hadn’t expected it to be this serious.
He said angrily, “By what right does Huo Lin do this? What qualifies him to decide I should be removed from the family register just because I have the blood of the Huo Family in me?”
Huo’s father looked at Huo Chi with a very complicated gaze.
Here was his eldest son who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had never suffered.
A man close to thirty years old who had achieved nothing.
So when he heard that Tianqi, just like the Huo Family, was developing an AI project, and Huo Lin intended to reach out for a collaboration.
In order for his eldest son to secure a firm foothold in the Huo Family in the future, he had pushed Huo Chi to the forefront.
Little did he know that once Huo Chi came to Yuncheng, one deed was more outrageous than the next.
Now, not only had he damaged the Huo Family’s reputation, but his father had also suffered heavy losses while cleaning up his mess.
Huo’s father slowly calmed down, rubbed his temples, and spoke with disappointment, “This was a unanimous decision by the clan. Tianqi personally came to demand an explanation; would they let it go if we didn’t provide one? I’ve heard that Professor Qiao is not someone to be trifled with.”
“In the past, I didn’t care about the methods you used as long as you didn’t leave any handle for others to grab. This time, you’ve been caught red-handed. Should we not let you go and wait for Tianqi to retaliate?”
Huo Chi said in disbelief, “You agreed to it?”
Huo’s father replied calmly, “If I didn’t agree, I would be kicked out of the Huo Family just like you. Most of my current business dealings are because of the Huo Family, and then there are your younger brothers and sisters. Surely you wouldn’t want them to ruin their futures because of you. As the eldest son, you should also consider the family.”
He sighed again, patted Huo Chi’s shoulder in an attempt to console him, “Removing you from the family register doesn’t mean you’re not my son. Just don’t return to K port. Once your health is somewhat better, you should go abroad to lay low for a while. The Huo Family is in chaos because of you; you have no idea how many people hate you.”
Huo Chi, listening to his father’s words, grew increasingly pale the further he listened, and sneered in his heart.
That sounds very nice indeed.
Right, his father had more than one son. Giving up on him wasn’t a problem since he had several other brothers to nurture. With or without him, it was all the same.
His eyes filled with anger and hatred, he clenched his fists and said, “I did all this, and you didn’t oppose it. Who helped me stall Huo Lin to give me time? And now you turn your back on me and want to give up on me?”
Huo’s father was slightly taken aback, surprised that Huo Chi would say such a thing. His face darkened, “I thought you would use a smarter approach, but never did I imagine you would ally with Han Luo and invade Tianqi to steal data. Han Luo has a vendetta against Tianqi, and all his actions are for revenge; he’s not trustworthy at all, you were blinded.”
Huo Chi could only feel a rush of anger surging within him, he said again, “Never mind the disinheritance, your own son has been reduced to this, you have to help me take revenge!”
All he wanted now was to settle the score.
Huo’s father, with a stern face, rebuked, “How dare you speak of such a thing! Why did you have to meddle with Li Hanzhou’s people? Do you think the Li Family is easy to provoke? We in the Huo Family are already struggling to get by, let alone consider opposing the Li Family!”
Huo Chi’s face turned pale; it was clear to him now that since he was no longer useful, his father wouldn’t take risks for him.
Huo Father spoke in a low tone, “Don’t blame me for this, it’s your own recklessness that drew Tianqi’s attention, and it’s only right that they seek you out to settle the score. Besides, Li Hanzhou has already shown you mercy this time, if he had been any harsher, you wouldn’t have had your life!”
His words were not without reason, yet Huo Chi was unable to hear them.
“Rest well, I’ve left a few people for you, anything you need, just tell them to handle it, I have to head back to K port now,” Father Huo said.
Huo Father was now at his wits’ end, the troubles caused by Huo Chi had made their position in the Huo Family even more precarious, and Huo Lin had found all sorts of reasons to take away nearly all his authority.
The root cause of everything was Huo Chi; the son was ruined, but fortunately, he had many other sons to cultivate.
Huo Chi watched his father leave with belated panic rising in his chest.
A true sense of being abandoned set in, and in his panic, without thinking, he anxiously blurted out, “Dad…”
No sooner had the word “Dad” escaped his lips than a handsome young man appeared at the doorway of the hospital room, looking at Huo Chi with a smirk, “Bro, don’t worry, I will take good care of Dad. After all, you won’t have many opportunities to see him in the future.”
Huo Chi’s eyes almost split with rage, “What are you being arrogant about! You think just because I’m not at home, you can replace me!”
The young man’s face was the picture of innocence, “I never said that. Do I even need to replace you? You’re not even a member of the Huo Family now.”
The next second, he spoke with malice, “If Dad hadn’t been soft-hearted, and rushed over to find you as soon as he couldn’t contact you, you’d probably be dead somewhere and no one would know.”
Huo Chi’s face was an ugly shade of iron blue.
The young man waved dismissively at Huo Chi, “I’m off, our family has me to worry about it, you don’t need to.”
With a bang, the door to the hospital room closed.
Huo Chi clenched his pale face, staring at the tightly closed door, in a fit of anger, he threw the water cup on the table.
There was a thud as the water cup hit the door and rolled a few circles on the ground.
Huo Chi’s chest heaved rapidly, clearly enraged.
The expression on his face shifted dramatically until it settled into one of utter defeat.
Why did things turn out this way…?
His first failure came when Qiao Yun sabotaged his cruise plan, then, unavoidably, everything spiraled out of control.
Hate surged again in Huo Chi’s heart, but it quickly deflated; he had nothing now, no power, no backing, even the support he had was probably taken away by his father.
What could a man with nothing left do, even if he harbored hatred?
He was very clear that although he had been cast aside, as long as he was his father’s son, even if sent abroad, he would be under surveillance, and his life from now on would not have an ounce of freedom, let alone seeking revenge.
An overwhelming sense of regret nearly drowned him; he regretted everything immensely.
If only he hadn’t been so eager for success, trying to undertake that project to make a name for himself.
If only he hadn’t trusted Han Luo’s ability, and instead had dealt openly with Tianqi for cooperation, wouldn’t his situation now not be so miserable?
It wouldn’t have come to the extent where his normally sycophantic younger brother, now successful, dared to mock him.
