284: Chapter 284 Escape from Tianhai_1 284: Chapter 284 Escape from Tianhai_1 Huo Yutong was not very old, only in her early twenties, but she was an extraordinary girl. Perhaps influenced by her father, she had been interested in technical things from a young age. However, she chose a different path from her father’s, who had selected car transmissions. Instead, she focused on chip technology. At only twenty-one, she had already published hundreds of papers in the field of chip technology. It would be presumptuous to say that she is the top talent in this industry, but she is certainly the top talent of the future. By this time in Tianhai City, the night had deepened. Huo Yutong sat nervously in the cafe with her best friend Zhang Meiyu. Opposite them were several men. The one leading them was young, elegant, but his eyes betrayed his dominance and arrogance. This person was Xu Shaoming, the young master of the great Tianhai family clan. Sitting beside him was a woman from Dongying. She was conversing with Huo Yutong in fluent Mandarin. “If you want to find my father, you can go directly to him. Why come to me?” Huo Yutong understood the woman’s words. It turned out they intended to spend hundreds of millions of US dollars to buy the second half of Huo Gang’s life. To make Huo Gang quit the field of car transmission research. But the Dongying people couldn’t find Huo Gang and instead tracked down Huo Yutong. “Huo Yutong, be sensible,” Xu Shaoming sneered, “This is one hundred million US dollars. With this money, you and your father can live the rest of your lives in peace and security. No worries about food or clothing. But if you don’t agree, you know what the consequences will be. You are aware of our Xu Family’s position in Tianhai City.” “I have to discuss this matter with my father,” Huo Yutong tried her best to remain calm and said. “Fine, I’ll give you that chance. Give me your answer within three days, and don’t even think about running away. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can find you!” Xu Shaoming sneered, “Right, I heard you’ve made some new discoveries in the field of chips. Your technology can almost reach the advanced level abroad? Give it up! Forget about those pointless endeavors! With what you have, and no funds, how can you compete with foreign chips?” Huo Yutong didn’t speak; her only goal now was to not anger Xu Shaoming. Because this man was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke. “Young Master Xu, we’ll be going now. I’ll make sure to give you an answer within three days!” Huo Yutong stood up, took Zhang Meiyu’s hand, and left. Zhang Meiyu was too scared to speak by then. “Yutong, one hundred million US dollars! Aren’t you tempted at all?” Back at her place, looking around the room rented for two thousand yuan a month, Zhang Meiyu sighed, “With that money, you’d truly be financially free. You could go wherever you want.” As Huo Yutong packed her things, she said, “Meiyu, you should understand my dream. I may need money, but my life is not just about money. I hope that one day, my chips can break the foreign monopoly, to be used in our phones, computers, and even various smart devices.” “You’re so foolish!” Zhang Meiyu shook her head, “If it were me, I would definitely choose the money. I don’t have such grand aspirations.” Huo Yutong sighed and said, “People have different aspirations. You’re not wrong, and neither am I. It’s just that we’ve made different choices.” “But do you really think you can escape from Tianhai City?” Zhang Meiyu shook her head, “Don’t fool yourself. That’s Xu Shaoming! The Xu Family’s young master! He’s connected with many foreign investors. The bodyguards around him number in the dozens, each one incredibly tough! I can’t provoke them, and neither can you. Your father can’t provoke them either. Even if you leave now, where can you escape to? As long as you remain within the country, you can’t avoid the Xu Family.” “I plan to go to Jiangcheng!” Huo Yutong said. “Jiangcheng?” Zhang Meiyu was stunned for a moment before saying, “You don’t really believe that legend is true, do you? In Jiangnan Prefecture, known as the Dark Forbidden Ground, that place is a peaceful haven free from violence and chaos?” “Believe it or not, I have to try. Staying here, I definitely can’t escape from Young Master Xu’s grasp. But if I go to Jiangcheng, perhaps there will be hope!” Huo Yutong clenched her teeth and said. Going to Jiangcheng, besides that folk legend, there was another reason–her father, Huo Gang, was also there. If the legend was true, then she could settle down in Jiangcheng and have a safer research environment. Instead of being in Tianhai City, where she always had to endure harassment from certain people, which was truly unbearable. “It’s useless.” Zhang Meiyu shook her head and advised, “I think it’s best if you just do as Young Master Xu says; it won’t do you any harm. Not to mention you and I can’t afford to offend the Xu Family, our school can’t afford to either. Don’t you plan to graduate? Don’t forget, you’re still just a junior!” “I can’t worry about that now!” Huo Yutong said, “Do you really think they will give me a hundred million US Dollars? I’m afraid they just want to find my father through me. Then ensure my father can’t continue his research on car transmissions. Do you know what kind of people can guarantee that? Dead people!” “They wouldn’t go that far, would they?” Zhang Meiyu frowned and said. “One of my senior brothers, a top talent in the field of microchips, but after taking a trip to America, he died mysteriously. They said it was an illness, but who knows?” Huo Yutong said, “Alright, Meiyu, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up, I’m leaving Tianhai City tonight. It’s not safe for you to live alone, you should give up the house. Find another place, or otherwise, come with me to Jiangcheng.” “I’d better not!” Zhang Meiyu shook her head and said. “Then I wish you all the best!” Huo Yutong hurriedly packed her things and left the rented place. Below, a car was waiting for her. It was her boyfriend. Also her classmate. As soon as Huo Yutong went downstairs, Zhang Meiyu took out her mobile phone and dialed Xu Shaoming’s number, “Young Master Xu, Huo Yutong is running away! The money you promised me, don’t forget it!” She had already reached a secret agreement with Xu Shaoming through WeChat to keep an eye on Huo Yutong. Upon successful completion, she would receive a reward of ten thousand yuan. There was no helping it, poverty limits one’s ambitions. For ten thousand yuan, even the best of friends could be betrayed. Huo Yutong sat in the car, heading straight for the high-speed train station. Liu Haoran was driving, looking somewhat anxious. “Haoran, come with me to Jiangcheng.” Huo Yutong said. “Let me think about it.” Liu Haoran said, “You know, I’m a local, both my parents are here, I can’t make such a quick decision.” “Hmm, I won’t pressure you. I’ll go and check out Jiangcheng first. If the environment there is truly as the legends describe, I will contact you.” Huo Yutong said. The train station was in sight when Huo Yutong suddenly said, “Let me off the car! I think I saw Young Master Xu’s people waiting at the station. I guess there are also people at the airport. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Looks like, I’ll have to find another way.” “I’ll take you to Jiangbei, to catch the high-speed train there!” Liu Haoran bit his lip, didn’t go to the high-speed train station, but instead got on the highway, racing towards Jiangbei. Clearly, Xu Shaoming had not anticipated that Huo Yutong would be so vigilant. As a result, they missed their chance.
