Lu Jiuge's words startled Zheng Shuyi, who exclaimed in surprise:

"Ninth Brother, have you gone mad? Are you really going to start a full-scale war with the Huo family?"

"Do you know how risky this is! The Huo family has been rooted in Hong Kong for so many years. Although the old man Huo is dead, his social status, business connections, and even political influence are still there."

Even our Zheng family doesn't dare to easily confront them head-on. Your confrontation will have serious consequences!

After a pause, seeing that Lu Jiuge showed no sign of changing her mind, Zheng Shuyi continued to persuade her:

"How about we think of another way? There's no need to make things come to a head. At worst, we can give up the Hong Kong market and focus on the mainland."

"Or, let my grandfather talk to the elders of the Huo family and ask them to keep Huo Huanyu in check."

Lu Jiuge patted her hand, his eyes filled with fighting spirit:

"It is precisely because they hold high positions and have deep roots that they should be even more careful in managing their descendants."

"Huo Huanyu has publicly challenged the entertainment and cinema circles in Hong Kong, making a big fuss that everyone knows about. How could the Huo family elders not be aware of such a commotion?"

"If they really wanted to manage things, they should have come out and restrained Huo Huanyu long ago, instead of letting him run wild like this."

Not standing up for him is, frankly, tacitly approving of his actions. They completely disregard me and Qianxing Capital.

"Similarly, the whole of Hong Kong knows about my relationship with the Cheng family. Their failure to show up is also a sign that they don't respect the Cheng family."

After a pause, Lu Jiuge's tone became even colder:

"Since they don't give me face, I don't need to indulge them. No matter how powerful the Huo family is, I have to go up against them and demand an explanation."

Seeing his determined expression, Zheng Shuyi felt worried but didn't ask any more questions.

Having known Lu Jiuge for so long, she knew his personality well; he never boasted.

Since they dare to make such a statement now, they must have the confidence to deal with it, and she chose to believe them.

They didn't continue the topic. After chatting about the company's financial planning for a while, Lu Jiuge's phone rang. The caller ID showed Zheng Wutong.

"Old man..."

Before Lu Jiuge could finish speaking, Zheng Wutong interrupted her:

"I already know that the Huo family brat has publicly spoken out against you."

"You don't need to be afraid of this matter, and you shouldn't have any worries. If the Huo family really condones their juniors' reckless behavior and disregard for rules, I'm on your side. In the Hong Kong business world, it's not up to them to control everything."

Lu Jiuge felt a warmth in her heart, and spoke sincerely:

"Thank you for your support, sir. However, the Huo family is a long-established family in Hong Kong, and I will give them the respect they deserve. I have already given them time."

If by eight o'clock tomorrow morning, none of the Huo family elders have stepped in to discipline me, then I won't hold back anymore and will launch a decisive counterattack.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. Call me anytime if anything changes."

After Zheng Wutong finished speaking and hung up the phone, Lu Jiuge looked at the account balance of Qianxing Capital, which was as high as hundreds of billions, and still felt a sense of unreality.

From having nothing to making a living as a charlatan in Hengdian World Studios, he has developed to this point in just a few years, which has a stronger sense of crisis in his heart.

Lu Jiuge knew very well that her identity as a transmigrator was a large part of the reason she had been able to get to where she was today.

However, as the amount of capital increases, the advantage of controlling the future direction of business development will become smaller and smaller.

In the cutthroat world of capital, knowing the outcome doesn't guarantee you'll get it.

While pondering the company's development direction, at six o'clock in the afternoon, just as Lu Jiuge was about to return to the Deep Water Bay villa with Zheng Shuyi, Zheng Wutong called again.

"Xiao Lu, Huo Zhenghua brought Huo Huanyu here to see you. Would you like to come over?"

Lu Jiuge sneered:

"It seems the Huo family has realized the seriousness of the problem."

"Sir, since the Huo family father and son have come in person, I certainly have to come too. Regardless of whether we can reach an agreement or not, I can't put you in a difficult position."

"Then come over, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Zheng Wutong didn't say much, just gave a brief reply and hung up the phone.

Lu Jiuge stood up and called Zheng Shuyi over:

"Come on, come with me to the Zheng family's old residence. The Huo family has arrived."

Zheng Shuyi's heart tightened, and she grabbed her coat and followed:

"Are Huo Huanyu's elders here? Do you think they're here to seek peace or to demand an explanation?"

"Ask for accusations? If the Huo family is truly so protective of their own, then I won't hold back!"

Lu Jiuge replied, then took Zheng Shuyi downstairs and drove to the Zheng family's old residence in Repulse Bay.

The car drove into the courtyard and stopped. Lu Jiuge led Zheng Shuyi into the living room.

In the large living room, Zheng Wutong and Huo Zhenghua were nowhere to be seen. Only Huo Huanyu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking grim.

Hearing footsteps, Huo Huanyu looked up and immediately saw Lu Jiuge and Zheng Shuyi, whose hand he was holding. His eyes instantly turned angry.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Lu Jiuge, and began to curse:

"Lu Jiuge, what kind of skills do you have! All you do is secretly ask your parents for support and put pressure on my dad."

Lu Jiuge glanced at him, but didn't stop. She led Zheng Shuyi to the sofa and sat down, sneering:

"Me, doing something underhanded?"

"From the moment you established your entertainment company, you have been targeting Qianxing Entertainment at every turn, and now you have been openly obstructing the release of 'The Forbidden Kingdom'."

"You've been the one constantly causing trouble. I haven't used any means to retaliate at all. How dare you accuse me of resorting to underhanded tactics?"

Huo Huanyu was speechless, his face flushed red, and he shouted unreasonably:

"If you hadn't asked Grandpa Zheng to intervene, would my dad have scolded me? Would he have forced me to come here and bow down to you?"

Let me tell you, Lu Jiuge, you think I'd apologize to you? No way! We'll fight to the death then and there!

"Apologize?"

Lu Jiuge sneered as if she had heard a joke:

"I didn't ask you to come and apologize. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now. Nobody's stopping you."

In one sentence, Huo Huanyu was effectively put to death.

He had been forced to come by his father, Huo Zhenghua. He couldn't leave or stay, and his face turned pale and then red, his temper flaring up.

"Stop pretending! You only dare to be so arrogant because the Zheng family is backing you up, and because of Old Master Zheng and the Zheng family's influence."

"Without the Zheng family, you are nothing. I can cripple your lousy Qianxing Capital in a heartbeat, making it impossible for you to stay in Hong Kong!"

These words completely ignited Lu Jiuge's anger.

He originally didn't want to make a fuss, but Huo Huanyu was pushing his luck and becoming too arrogant.

Lu Jiuge suddenly stood up and stared at Huo Huanyu:

"You're welcome to give it a try."

"To deal with someone like you, there's no need for Old Master Zheng to take action, nor for any member of the Zheng family to help."

"Go ahead and bring out the entire Huo family's power. I want to see whether you, Huo Huanyu, will fall first, or my Qianxing Capital will collapse first!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Zhenghua's face turned ashen at the second-floor stairwell, and he roared before even descending the stairs:

"You bastard, apologize to President Lu right now!"
