Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss



Huo Wanying sat in her seat without moving. After everyone turned to look at her, she finally stood up slowly.

She did not answer Huo Qing. Instead, she turned to face Huo Jinfeng.

Huo Wanying composed herself and nodded to Huo Jinfeng reverently. "Master Jinfeng."

Something changed in Huo Qing's expression upon hearing the greeting. Before he was able to fully comprehend the meaning behind it, Huo Wanying walked up to the main seat at the conference table and pulled out the chair respectfully.

Huo Jinfeng sat down on the main seat. Huo Wanying did not return to her seat. Instead, she stood beside Huo Jinfeng with her back straight.

This was a very familiar sight. It looked exactly like the way Huo Wanying used to stand beside him when they talked about work.

Huo Qing and Eldest Elder felt nervous seeing this.

"Wanying, what are you doing?" asked Huo Qing sternly after gathering his thoughts.

Huo Wanying raised her head slightly and looked straight into Huo Qing's eyes calmly. She asked rhetorically, "Third Uncle, what do you think I'm doing?"

Huo Qing looked at Huo Wanying intently. At this moment, he suddenly realized he did not truly know her. She used to be a proud woman, but even that was an act.

The Huo Wanying before him was her true self.

After Huo Qing caught on to her pretense, a scary notion emerged in his mind. "You've been pretending all this time. All along, you've been working for Master Jinfeng."

Huo Wanying pursed her lips. "Even if I'm just acting, I'm not as good at it as you. Otherwise, my father would never have died tragically."

Although her voice was soft, it was filled with hate.

The moment Huo Wanying mentioned her father, an awkward look emerged in Huo Qing and Eldest Elder's eyes.

"Do you know the pain I suffered watching my closest kin die?" Huo Wanying spoke without the slightest warmth in her voice. She had been concealing her pain and hate for over a decade, but she could sense it bursting out of her body uncontrollably.

Huo Qing could sense her immense revulsion, so he did not bother acting anymore. He laughed coldly. "Your father only has himself to blame for being blindly loyal. From the looks of it, like father like daughter. Since you have no intention of dropping it, then it's time for you to meet him in hell."

Saying this, Huo Qing raised his hand and gestured at his armed subordinate standing closest to Huo Wanying.

Although his subordinate was armed with a gun, he did not move at all.

Huo Qing's eyes constricted. At this moment, the uneasiness he tried to disregard magnified until Huo Wanying spoke.

"I'm sorry that you're going to be left disappointed." Huo Wanying laughed gently in a mocking tone. "Now that you mention it, I should really thank you for the support. Otherwise, things would not have ended so quickly."

She veered her head. In an instant, the guns trained on the top brass in the room turned toward Huo Qing and Eldest Elder in unison.

The turn of events had happened so quickly that Huo Qing along with the other top brass in the room were unable to catch on.

Before long, Huo Qing and Eldest Elder were apprehended and their weapons were taken from them.

"Everyone in the union now works for me. If you dare to touch me, you can forget about walking out of the building alive," said Huo Qing with a sinister look in his eyes.

Huo Changfeng looked at Huo Qing as though he was some kind of idiot. "Are you so sure they are really your men?"

"What are you trying to say?" Huo Qing looked at Huo Changfeng with anxiety in his eyes.

Huo Changfeng smiled ambiguously and simply said, "The disciplinary committee can tell you more."

Saying this, he raised his hand and got his men to take Huo Qing and Eldest Elder away.

Before long, the conference room reverted to silence.

Huo Jinfeng sat on the main seat looking formidable as usual. He glanced mildly at the top brass in the room and spoke in an incredibly serious tone, "I agree that it's time for me to retire."

The people in the room had only just relaxed slightly. The moment they heard what he said, they felt tense again. They were unsure if Huo Jinfeng was testing them or something.

"I'm dropping out of the race to be the heir." Huo Wanying had sat back down in her seat. After saying this, she looked relieved.

Huo Jinfeng looked at her and frowned. "Why did you voluntarily pass it up?"

This did not seem like something she would do.

Huo Wanying smiled. This time, she did not call him Master Jinfeng. For the first time in public, she called him her uncle. "In reality, I've never wanted to be the clan leader."

She wanted to uproot Huo Qing and Eldest Elder's powers completely. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to take part in the test.

Huo Jinfeng knew Huo Wanying was not joking, so he eventually sighed softly. "I respect your decision."

Huo Wanying replied, "Thank you, Uncle."

Huo Jinfeng cleared his throat and said, "In that case, we will choose an heir between Yaoyao and…"

Before he was able to finish his sentence, Huo Changfeng, who was here on behalf of Huo Yao, interrupted him.

"Erm… Master Jinfeng, Miss Huo doesn't want to be the heir either. She wants me to tell you that she's dropping out of the race as well."

Huo Changfeng could sense he was standing on the tip of the blade and did not dare to make eye contact with Master Jinfeng the entire time. The moment he finished his sentence, he looked away.

Huo Jinfeng did not know what to say.

Was this position some kind of fire pit to them? Why didn't anyone want to take the job?

Huo Jinfeng promptly felt annoyed.

If people found out, they would probably die from laughing.

At this moment, Huo Yulin could no longer stay quiet. He stood up and made his intentions clear. "Eldest Uncle, I don't want to be clan leader…"

Huo Jinfeng's eyelids twitched before glaring at him immediately. "Shut your gap."

Huo Yulin was at a loss.
