“Yes!”

“I set up this scheme precisely for that ten million. Do you think I’m innocent enough to just throw my life away for nothing?”

“You have a almost hundred percent guarantee project, and that’s why you took the risk?” Huo Da Hai widened his eyes.

However, he quickly regained his composure, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll report to the Su or Huang families?”

“Do you really think they’d believe the words of n.o.body?” Zhao Yu responded with a faint smile.

“Besides, even if they did believe you, would they called a stop then?”

Huo Da Hai realized the game was already fated to play out, and the reason for initiating it had become irrelevant.

With Su Xiao Xiao and Huang Zi Long involved in the game, it was about the reputation of the Su and Huang family. They will make sure the game carried on till the end without any parties interruption.

“Would you like to join me in building a legacy?” Zhao Yu invited Huo Da Hai to join in.

“Me!? With you as a team?”

Huo Da Hai took his time to reconsider about it.

“Your sister asked to meet me at nine tonight…” Zhao Yu decided to give him a push.

“My sister?”

Huo Da Hai’s expression turned bleak.

For someone like Zhao Yu, who’d stake his life on a gamble, he knew Zhao Yu must planning to use his sister.

After all, his sister was his weak spot. Without his present to protect her. Zhao Yu could go after her.

“I’ll work with you…” Huo Da Hai finally agreed to Zhao Yu’s proposal.

“Great!”

“Don’t reveal this to anyone, not even someone closed to you.” Zhao Yu reminded him.

Huo Da Hai felt more at ease.

Zhao Yu wasn’t the kind to talk without action. It was clear he had a plan.

By cooperating with him, there might be a day of success for his family.

With that, no one would ever threaten his sister again.

Once he talked out with Huo Da Hai, Zhao Yu immediately arranged appointment with several bosses to discuss about their offer.

The owners of the two factories he had his eye on came today.

However, Zhao Yu did not rush to show his intentions.

Through some tactics and negotiation, he finally acquired the last two factories with minimum expenses.

Together, they only cost him seven million.

During the test run, he found out the equipment he bought over has a critical problem.

The CNC machine tools were not precise enough based on his design.

With the help of Xiao Liu, Zhao Yu found out that the equipment he required only sold by one company in Bing City.

“Hmm…this company was owned by the Yu family, equivalent to Huang family in status and power. It won’t be easy to buy from them then.”

After scrolling through the past transactions in Bing City, Xiao Liu found that the Yu family had sold a few such machines at exorbitant prices, more than what Zhao Yu had left.

“Financial Bottleneck now…”

If this step in his plan faltered, he’d have to reveal everything to the Su family and seek their protection.

The consequence of this would be losing his autonomy, becoming a weapon research expert under them till dead.

“It seems 1’11 have to work on the childs of the Yu family. If I could set up a gamble like 1 did with Huang Zi Long, that would be ideal.”

Zhao Yu contemplated about his next step.

The gamble with Huang Zi Long was improvised on spot with the presence of Su Xiao Xiao.

First step was still to get to know someone from the Yu family.

“I probably wouldn’t even get through the door if I directly approached them.”

Zhao Yu instructed Xiao Liu to investigate the students list to figure out any members of the Yu family studied in Bing City University.

Xiao Liu found one, a female student and she was a grade above Zhao Yu.

“I need to find a proper way to meet her…”

Zhao Yu remembered that the school had recently initiated a weekly social gathering for the wealthy and influential. It aimed to help them deepen their relations.h.i.+ps and establish connections.

It was scheduled for the very next day. This presented an opportunity for Zhao Yu to find a way to attend.

With this in mind, Zhao Yu returned to the school and headed straight to the instructor’s office.

“You want to attend the social party?”

The instructor found Zhao Yu’s request was surprising.

“That event is for influential or wealthy figures in the city. It’s designed to help them start networking early. It was not meant for…” the instructor began to explain.

“You’re right about the event. But the school has set an entrance threshold of 5 million. 1 happen to meet that requirement…”

“This…”

The instructor was momentarily at a loss for words. Wasn’t he aware of how he got that 10 million?

Zhao Yu casually took out a red envelope containing a thousand and handed it to the instructor. “You don’t need to trouble yourself too much. Just introduce me to the vice princ.i.p.al in charge of the organization.”

“Oh, it’s a small matter. This is my duty. Let’s go. But 1’11 let you know in advance – whether or not things work out is up to you. 1 can’t really help much.”

“Of course.”

With the instructor leading the way, Zhao Yu met the vice princ.i.p.al responsible for the event.

“It seems there shouldn’t be a problem. The school’s stipulated threshold for the gathering is indeed 5 million,”

“However, do you really think you fit in there?”

“From my observations, the attendees, despite being of similar ages, usually adhere to societal norms. Those with powerful family backgrounds hold the highest status.”

“Although not everyone there belongs to the top elite families, those from lesser backgrounds simply play subordinate roles, often fawning over the richer and powerful attendees. Can you accept that?”

He spoke the harsh truth as a advice for Zhao Yu on reconsidering his decision.

With veils of pretense being lifted. Hence, he wasn’t afraid of speaking bluntly about the truth.

“I just want to experience it for myself. After all, 1 have 10 million at hand. Maybe 1’11 run into someone similar to me.”

The vice princ.i.p.al didn’t object. “Alright, I like your spirit. Don’t be late, be there at 10 am tomorrow.”

“Do you need to verify my a.s.sets?” Zhao Yu asked.

“No need. Your name, Zhao Yu, is quite renowned these past few days.” The vice princ.i.p.al responded.

Zhao Yu successfully obtained the address for the party, which was his primary goal.

Now, his next target will be the child from the Yu Family.

Although the gathering was held within the school, the location was kept secret to avoid disturbances from less wealthy students.

Moreover, no cameras were allowed to prevent any inappropriate content from being leaked. That’s why even Xiao Liu wasn’t aware of its whereabouts.

The gathering was held underground in the library.

Time flew, and it was already 9 pm.

Zhao Yu remembered his promise with Huo Xiao Xi.

He quickly walked towards the grove.

Huo Xiao Xi was already there. She sat alone on a bench, motionless, looking rather melancholic.

“You got here so early?”

Zhao Yu approached her and noticed Huo Xiao Xi had made an effort with her appearance. She wore in Lolita-style which made her more adorable.

Huo Xiao Xi managed a smile and took out a small square object and handed it to Zhao Yu.

“It’s my first time. Can you be gentle with me?”

“???”

“What’s this?”

“If you don’t want to use it, that’s fine. Just let my brother go, and you can do whatever you want…”

H 11

Huo Xiao Xi had misunderstood his intentions.

She thought he had invited her out late at night with ulterior motives.

This left him speechless.

If he hadn’t said those things to Huo Da Hai earlier, he might have played along.

If he did anything to his sister now, Huo Da Hai would probably want to kill him!

Zhao Yu felt a mix of regret and frustration. Huo Xiao Xi’s adorable attire was in front of him, yet he realized that he have to wait for a more appropriate time.

He shook his head, pulling a USB drive from his pocket. “I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in vulnerable situations…”

“If you want to make amends, help me by plugging this USB drive into the school main server..”
