1616 Any Other Teachers To Call?

Huo Changfeng’s subordinate glanced at Lu Xia quizzically the moment he heard what she said.

Did she just threaten to bankrupt the family?

This was probably the best joke he had heard all year.

Huo Changfeng rapped his fingers on his knee gently before he asked his subordinate and lamented. “Xie, when was the last time someone tried to threaten the family?”

“It was so long ago that I can’t even remember.” Xie cleared his throat and continued. “However, I do remember what happened to someone who threatened us. His bones have already turned to dust.”

Huo Changfeng raised his brow and complimented him. “Well done. You’re a lot more eloquent now.”

Xie smiled sheepishly. “Chief Steward, you have taught me well. We are civilized people now, so we have to speak politely.”

Killing and fighting would bring bad luck.

Lu Xia was at a complete loss. Instead, she interrupted them coldly. “If you stop before things go out of hand, I can pretend that nothing happened and I won’t tell my teacher about it. Otherwise, if my teacher gets involved, it will be too late!”

“Oh really?” Huo Changfeng sat on the couch motionlessly. He raised his chin and pointed at the phone on the table. “Give her teacher a call.”

Xie nodded and quickly picked up the phone.

He turned on the phone, swiped down to the last dialed number, and called it.

Lu Xia recognized the phone. It was hers. When she saw his actions, for some reason, she felt very uneasy.

The call got through before long.

Xie put the phone on hands-free mode.

Qiao En’s voice could be heard over the phone. “h.e.l.lo?”

“Your student says that you’re capable of bankrupting the Huo family.” Huo Changfeng spoke unhurriedly. Every word in his sentence sounded dangerous and threatening.

Qiao En was a professor with a high status in the academic world. Even though he had a powerful aura, the moment he heard the voice over the phone, he was completely overwhelmed.

He instinctively felt threatened and scared.

“The Huo family?” Qiao En promptly caught those words as he held his phone tightly. His voice automatically sounded reverent. “Are you talking about the Huo family belonging to the union in Country M?”

“Unless there is any other Huo family out there I don’t know about,” said Huo Changfeng mildly.

Qiao En’s expression changed as his mind spun quickly. The phone number belonged to Lu Xia, but it was someone from the Huo family on the line. It was clear something had happened to Lu Xia.

His superiors had warned him against offending the Huo family. No one knew how far their hands could go and it might even bring catastrophe to them.

Oh G.o.d. He did not know how Lu Xia ended up provoking the Huo family.

Qiao En inhaled deeply and said in an apologetic tone, “My bad. If one of our university students has said anything to offend you, I apologize on her behalf.”

Huo Changfeng had called to talk about his student, but Qiao En corrected him and said Lu Xia was just a student from the university. Qiao En was obviously trying to distance himself from Lu Xia right away.

He could slowly work on his research, but he could not afford to offend the Huo family.

Qiao En weighed his options and decided to forsake Lu Xia. After all, she was just an experimental subject in his path for research.

He had already done all the testing he needed.

Huo Changfeng was unsurprised to hear this.

He turned to look at Lu Xia again and asked genially. “Any other teachers who can save you? Since I have the time, I can call them one by one.”
