Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Using Tianqi to Eliminate the Cancer? Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Using Tianqi to Eliminate the Cancer? The three agreed to et at a tea house. Actually, Li Hanzhou had barely stepped into the private room when Su Mian and Xu Qiao entered the tea house one after the other, just not running into each other.
Li Hanzhou pushed the door open and saw Shen Qi and Xu Fang were already there.
Xu Fang was leisurely savoring his tea with an air of distinction. Seeing Li Hanzhou co in, a smile appeared on his face, “Li bro, you’re here.”
“I was beginning to think you wouldn’t make it,” Shen Qi said grandly as he took a swig of tea, turning what was a fine tea into sothing akin to a bull’s gulp.
Li Hanzhou nodded at them, his well-defined fingers pulling out a chair to sit down, his posture casual and relaxed.
Shen Qi craned his neck to look outside the booth, didn’t see the person he wanted to et, and imdiately his face fell into disappointnt as he asked, “Why didn’t Professor Qiao co?”
The person who usually couldn’t wait to stick by Professor Qiao’s side hadn’t brought her over this ti.
Li Hanzhou held his teacup, his fingers slender and attractive. In a light and airy voice, he said, “She went to have fun.”
The main reason Shen Qi had arranged this get-together was for Professor Qiao. Deflated, he said, “Now that I’m leaving Yuncheng, I don’t know when I’ll see Professor Qiao again. I still have many unresolved questions I want to ask her.”
He then cast a wistful glance at Li Hanzhou, as though the man before him was the Goddess Queen Mother who had torn them apart.
Li Hanzhou’s eyes flicked up, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
With implied aning, Xu Fang said, “Shen Qi, why are you always thinking about Li’s girlfriend? Could it be love without self-knowledge?”
Suddenly, Shen Qi, who was stabbed by Li Hanzhou’s glare: “…” Thank you so much.
Shen Qi turned deadly serious in a second, defending himself, “How many tis do I have to say it, my admiration for Professor Qiao is as clear as day and moon, I truly see her as my idol. Only Li bro is worthy of Professor Qiao; they are truly a match made in heaven.”
Li Hanzhou comfortably accepted the flattery without objection.
Xu Fang’s mouth was almost twitching; Shen Qi was still as afraid of Li as ever. Didn’t he realize that with his current deanor, he resembled a chief eunuch whispering slander to a foolish emperor?
Li Hanzhou sipped his tea before setting the cup down, leaning back against the chair back with a lazy posture and glanced at Shen Qi, “You won’t have to wait long, you’ll see her soon.”
Qiao Yun was planning on launching the AI system to slap the Huo family in the face, which would inevitably involve inviting quite a few people to create a buzz.
Shen Qi, with his own technology company, would certainly receive an invitation.
Upon hearing Li Hanzhou’s words, Shen Qi thought they would et once they returned to Beijing, and he asked eagerly, “When do you plan to return to Beijing?”
Li Hanzhou’s fingertips tapped on the table, “Not so soon, at least not until the sester starts.”
It was uncertain whether Qiao Yun wanted to continue university since she was just there to experience life.
He hoped Qiao Yun would continue experiencing life and could enjoy the happiness of her age. Once she returned to the research institute, she would carry many more burdens on her shoulders.
At this thought, Li Hanzhou’s brow furrowed slightly, his heart twinged with a dense array of aches. He picked up the teacup irritably, gulped down in one go, and felt much more comfortable afterwards.
Shen Qi was stunned; Li had always been cool and collected. It was rare to see him this agitated.
Not knowing the reason, Shen Qi chose not to ask, and instead brought up an interesting topic, “Have you heard? The Huo family is in chaos now.”
Xu Fang chuckled, “You pay too much attention to the Huo family. Why do you always keep tabs on their movents?”
Shen Qi shrugged, “It’s normal to keep an eye on the competition.”
“It’s a pity, though, the other side doesn’t consider you competition at all. It’s just your one-sided fantasy,” Xu Fang teased rcilessly.
Shen Qi: “…”
This brother, he doesn’t want him anymore.
Shen Qi chuckled, “I’m still in the midst of developing, who knows what the future holds. Plus, you may not know, the Huo Research Institute was infiltrated and lost a lot of important docunts. There’s also sothing else I’ve just learned; the Family Head of the Huo Family has declared that from now on, Huo Chi will no longer be part of the Huo Family, and he has been removed from the family records.”
Xu Fang expressed his surprise, “Just like that, removed from the genealogy? Does Huo Chi really have no reaction?”
Shen Qi pretended to be mysterious, “Huo Chi has disappeared and can’t be contacted.”
Xu Fang said, “How can a living person just disappear?”
Shen Qi clicked his tongue audibly, “There’s a rumor that Huo Chi was silenced by the Family Head of the Huo Family. The Huo Family has a lot of issues, big families are always chaotic, unlike mine, which is simple and solely focused on contributing to society.”
Xu Fang rolled his eyes, “You’re quite blatant in stepping on others to elevate yourself. How do you know so much, anyway?”
“The fourth young master of the Huo Family is my classmate, a big guy who loves to gossip when he’s got nothing better to do. I hear things about the Huo Family even when I’d rather not,” Shen Qi whispered.
The third uncle of the Huo Family is Huo Chi’s biological father.
He had ordered Huo Chi to return quickly, but Huo Chi vanished, and even his bodyguards couldn’t be reached, so he ca over in a hurry, worried sothing might have happened to Huo Chi.
“Where on earth could he have gone? Could he really have been silenced?” Shen Qi wondered, unable to make sense of it.
Li Hanzhou, the chief instigator, sipped his tea calmly, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this conversation.
Huo Chi’s removal from the family records was probably the explanation Qiao Yun had been promised by Huo Lin earlier.
But as far as he could see, Huo Lin had probably been wanting to take action against Huo Chi for a while, since after all, Huo Chi was all ambition with little sense, and keeping soone like that was not beneficial for the Huo Family.
Although Huo Lin had now taken the position of the Family Head, he still had several uncles above him, and if he acted too ruthlessly, he would certainly be restrained.
This ti, Huo Chi caused trouble for Tianqi, bringing considerable losses to the Huo Family, providing Huo Lin with a perfect excuse to strike at Huo Chi.
Maybe Huo Lin agreed to Huo Chi’s negotiations with Tianqi, partly out of so secret intentions as well.
All things considered, Huo Lin didn’t really co out at a loss this ti, no wonder he could apologize with such composure despite the trouble at the Huo Research Institute.
So, was Huo Lin using Tianqi as an instrunt to excise a tumor?
Li Hanzhou narrowed his eyes and then let out a cold laugh, thinking how the child was naive, focusing only on how Huo Chi had troubled her and thus deserved punishnt, without considering the deeper implications.
He was different though.
Li Hanzhou picked up his cup of tea once again, taking a leisurely sip, his expression enigmatic.
Shen Qi felt a chill emanating from Li Hanzhou, freezing him so much that he rubbed his arms and asked confusedly, “Brother Li, what’s with you?”
“Hm?” Li Hanzhou concealed the emotion in his eyes, his entire deanor becoming languid once again.
Shen Qi looked at Li Hanzhou and hesitated, “Just now, I almost thought you were about to kill soone.”
Li Hanzhou laughed lightly, “Killing soone is a bit extre.”
It’s just that so people, making the kid go through all this trouble, should offer so compensation.
…
After sending Shen Qi and Xu Fang to the airport, Li Hanzhou made a phone call to Qiao Yun, asking where she was.
Qiao Yun told Li Hanzhou, “At the Research Institute.”
