Chapter 292 There are no rules here, only plunder and possession.

"You met Xu Zhiyuan today, what did you think of him? He's your biological father, his name is Xu Zhiyuan,"

Huo Muchen, holding Liu Shiyin, suddenly asked, knowing the topic might be sensitive for her, but he also wanted to know her thoughts. He gently stroked her hair and asked softly.

Liu Shiyin pondered for a moment, then answered softly:

“It was great. He even wished us well when you went out to answer the phone. For a moment, I really felt a sense of family and warmth. But he doesn’t know that I am his daughter. I don’t know what his reaction and attitude would be if he knew my identity.”

"Don't overthink it. If he's willing to acknowledge it, it simply means you've gained another family member in this world. If he's not willing to acknowledge it, just pretend you never knew he existed. No matter the outcome, I'll always be by your side."

Huo Muchen gently patted Liu Shiyin's back and said nonchalantly,

Liu Shiyin nestled in Huo Muchen's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. She knew that with such a man by her side, she could bravely face anything.

She looked up at Huo Muchen, her eyes sparkling with trust and reliance:

"Thank you, Mu Chen."

Huo Muchen smiled and kissed her forehead, then got up, picked her up, and carried her to the bathroom together...

Huo Muchen had just arrived at the office in the morning and was busy working when his phone suddenly rang, displaying the name "Xu Xiaofan" on the screen.

He frowned, looking at the constantly flashing name, a hint of impatience rising within him.

Huo Muchen hung up the phone without hesitation, but a few seconds later, his phone vibrated again; it was Xu Xiaofan calling once more.

Huo Muchen frowned, but ultimately picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. Xu Xiaofan's voice immediately came from the other end of the line:

"Brother Mu Chen, you finally answered the phone! Are you at the company?"

Huo Muchen didn't say much and went straight to the point:

"what's up?"

Xu Xiaofan seemed unconcerned by Huo Muchen's cold attitude and continued:

"It's my birthday tomorrow, and I hope you can come and celebrate with me."

Huo Muchen was about to refuse, but then he thought, it seems Xu Zhiyuan hasn't told Xu Xiaofan about his relationship with Liu Shiyin yet. He chuckled softly and said quietly:

"Okay, I'll be there then."

After saying that, Huo Muchen hung up the phone before Xu Xiaofan could speak. He put down his phone and pondered for a moment.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Xu is outside and requests a meeting,"

The secretary's phone call broke the silence of the office.

"Let him in,"

Huo Muchen collected his thoughts and said calmly,

"Mr. Huo, the case was going well a couple of days ago, so why did Huo's suddenly withdraw today?"

Xu Zhiyuan walked anxiously into Huo Muchen's office, his tone filled with obvious worry and confusion.

He watched his stock plummet as the Huo family suddenly withdrew their case, and his mood grew even heavier.

Huo Muchen put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Xu Zhiyuan, his eyes calm and firm:

“We have identified some potential business risks that could adversely affect our collaborative projects. This withdrawal is not a hasty decision, but a well-considered one.”

Xu Zhiyuan frowned and asked, puzzled:

"Could you tell me the specific reason? This has a huge impact on the cooperation between our two companies."

Huo Muchen no longer wanted to talk to him and said in a deep voice:

"There's no specific reason, I don't know it for you or me, and it doesn't affect me."

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Zhiyuan's face showed an expression of disbelief. He stared wide-eyed at Huo Muchen, his voice rising several decibels:

"This is against the rules of the business world, Mr. Huo."

Huo Muchen looked at Xu Zhiyuan's exasperated expression and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Rules? There are no rules here, only plunder and possession."
