478 Setting a Trap
Qiao An tensed. “What did he say?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “He asked me to meet him at the Zhongde Mall.”
Uncle Xiao walked over.
He reached out to Huo Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, show me the message.”
Huo Xiaoran handed the phone to him. When Uncle Xiao saw the message, he immediately instructed the others, “Go and investigate the owner of Zhongde Mall.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “There’s no need to investigate. Zhongde Mall is our Huo family’s territory.”
Uncle Xiao’s expression was solemn. “If something big happens in Zhongde Mall, you won’t be able to escape responsibility as a legal person. Hmph, he really knows how to find a place.”
Huo Xiaoran glanced at Uncle Xiao and pulled Qiao An away.
Uncle Xiao shouted behind him, “Sigh, Xiaoran, we have to think about this at length. Don’t force yourself.”
Xiao Ran stuffed Qiao An into the car and instructed the driver, “Take Madam home safely.”
“Yes, CEO.”
Huo Xiaoran turned around and left, not daring to look into Qiao An’s terrified eyes. He was afraid that he would not be able to take it and choose to compromise.
Qiao An pressed herself against the window and watched Xiaoran leave. Her heart tightened.
After Huo Xiaoran entered Zhongde mall, he lowered his head and walked forward. Suddenly, a child dashed over on a skateboard and bumped into him.
“Uncle, I’m sorry.”
Huo Xiaoran helped the child up. After the child got up, he threw him a bottle and rushed into the elevator on his skateboard.
Huo Xiaoran looked at the button that lit up the elevator. The child did not go down but chose to go up.
He looked up at the hollow top floor and immediately had an idea. “Could it be that they’re on the top floor?”
He texted his assistant and instructed him to access the computer in his office for the surveillance of every floor of the mall, especially the top floor.
Then he opened the bottle and took out the note inside.
Boss Guo actually invited him to the rooftop to talk?
Huo Xiaoran turned around and entered the elevator.
He went straight to the rooftop.
At some point, there was a table and four chairs on the rooftop. Boss Guo held a cigarette in his mouth and sat on it, crossing his legs as he looked at Huo Xiaoran.
“Huo Xiaoran, congratulations on becoming the chosen one.”
Huo Xiaoran sat down opposite him. “What’s the good news? The last chosen one has already gone to jail.”
“You mean Li Tingfeng? Hehe, he’s too stupid and lecherous. He was dragged down by his family, so he went in. But you’re different from him. You’re clean and don’t do anything illegal. Therefore, no one will suspect you if you cooperate with us.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “Sugar-coated bullets? They’re useless to me.”
Boss Guo said, “Xiaoran, if you don’t have the intention to cooperate with us, why are you here today?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s not that I don’t want to cooperate. It’s just that I want to ensure my safety. After all, it’s a profitable thing. Only a fool wouldn’t do it.”
Boss Guo said, “Haha, you’re indeed a smart person.”
Boss Guo continued, “In the capital, we also have our own legitimate businesses. For example, we can trade gold and jewelry with you. When you sell our gold and jewelry, we can give you a lot of money. However, you have to return a portion to an account overseas.”
Huo Xiaoran immediately understood. “I understand. You are not referring to real gold and jewelry. They’re fake, right? You are trying to launder money. Then what are my benefits? As you know, I’m a businessman. I won’t do anything without interest.”
Boss Guo laughed loudly. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a commission.”
Huo Xiaoran asked coldly, “How many percent?”
“How about eight percent?”
Huo Xiaoran looked cold. “Do you think eight percent is worth it for me to take the risk of doing such an illegal transaction? I, Huo Xiaoran, am not Li Tingfeng. He was in debt and is happy with a little dividend. My appetite is bigger than his.”
Boss Guo fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said, “Twenty percent. How about that?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at him coldly. It didn’t matter to him how much he could walk away with. It was just that he had to appear to fight for his interests before Boss Guo would believe his sincerity in working with them.
“Half,” he demanded.
Boss Guo was stunned.
“Huo Xiaoran, isn’t your appetite a little too big?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled evilly. “You can say that I took advantage of the situation. Boss Guo, you have to think carefully. Even if all the assets in your hands are emptied, they won’t sell for much. But your account is making money every day. Aren’t you afraid of attracting too much attention?”
“And my Huo Corporation and Angel Group have big temples that can accommodate your business.”
Boss Guo gritted his teeth. “Thirty.”
Huo Xiaoran refused to give in.
Boss Guo said, “Huo Xiaoran, you have to show your sincerity too?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ll take 50. If it gets exposed, as the mastermind, I won’t be able to escape responsibility, right? You’re just earning less, but you can work with me without worry. Isn’t that good?”
Huo Xiaoran tried his best to get into trouble. As expected, Boss Guo dispelled his worries. “Huo Xiaoran, I have to consider this again. Wait for my news.”
With that, Boss Guo stood up.
The bodyguards in the distance immediately appeared and surged toward Boss Guo.
They headed for the elevator.
Xiao Ran knew that Boss Guo had no right to make a decision on his request. He had to discuss it with his boss.
He immediately texted his bodyguard. “Keep an eye on the people coming down from the rooftop.”
Boss Guo came to an underground club. There, he met his boss, Nighthawk.
“Boss, Ninth Master’s son, Huo Xiaoran, took the initiative to come and see me.”
Nighthawk looked at Falcon coldly. Falcon pulled the apple out of his mouth and said angrily, “That brat! He didn’t give his dad any respect, but he found an outsider to do business with.”
Nighthawk looked at Boss Guo. “Tell me, how sincere is he?”
Boss Guo said, “As for sincerity, forgive my poor eyesight, but he has a big appetite. He wants half of the commission.”
Falcon’s teacup trembled. “That kid’s asking for too much?”
Nighthawk smiled. “He does have a big appetite.”
Falcon smiled and said, “Brother, that kid is young and impetuous. He hasn’t suffered many setbacks since he was young, right? Does he think money falls from the sky?”
However, Nighthawk said, “He has a big appetite, but it shows that he’s very sincere.”
Falcon’s face flashed with imperceptible disappointment.
Huo Xiaoran’s desire for money made him very worried. He was worried that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Nighthawk thought for a moment and said, “As for this first business deal, let’s do as he says.”
“Yes.” Boss Guo retreated.
