Chapter 449: 15 Billion, Lost!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What are you doing?” Huo Cenfengs expression was ugly. “Why are you shouting like this?! ”

“Chairman Huo, that piece of land, that piece of land…” The higher-ups took a few deep breaths and trembled. “The government had just sent people to survey that piece of land…”

What?

Huo Cenfeng and the others were pleasantly surprised. They stood up abruptly!

The country suddenly sent people to survey the surrounding terrain? Could it be that the area around this piece of land was a key development plot?

Then this piece of land would be valuable!

“Ah Lan, 1 told you!” Huo Cenfeng was overjoyed. “You are the hope of the Huo family! You see, it’s not a loss to spend 15 billion to buy the development rights of this land. Even the country values it so much!”

Old Master Xie finally smiled. “Ah Lan is indeed the most outstanding. As for that person…”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Huo Xiting.

Old Master Xie’s tone was sarcastic. “An illegitimate child will always be an illegitimate child. He’s so biased in his judgment of the situation. It’s only 15 billion, but he can’t bear to give it up. He gave this opportunity to Ah Lan for nothing.”

Xie Qi also pursed her lips and smiled. “Father, after all, Ah Lan grew up under our meticulous education. We gave Ah Lan the best of everything. Ah Lan’s horizons are broad and different from that person.”

Old Master Xie nodded mockingly.” “That’s true. What good education can an illegitimate child get? He’s just a little lucky. If Ah Lan had started her own business back then, I’m afraid he would have far surpassed that person’s consortium by now.”

Although they didn’t say who ‘that person’ was.

But…

The meaning was obvious.

For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall did not dare to breathe loudly.

Huo Cenfengs expression was filled with pride. “Ah Lan, I will fully support you this time. Don’t worry. The position of the Huo family’s heir is yours…”

“Chairman Huo!” The higher-ups interrupted him again in a panic. He broke out in cold sweat. “Director Huo, it’s not… It’s…

“What?” Huo Cenfeng was extremely impatient. “What was it? Isn’t Ah Lan’s explanation clear enough? He now has the right to develop that piece of land.

You…”

“Young Master Xie doesn’t have the development rights anymore!” The higher-ups gritted their teeth and interrupted, “15 billion… All of them had gone to waste.”

His words caused the entire banquet hall to fall silent.

The words ’15 billion gone down the drain’ echoed in everyone’s minds.

It’s gone…

15 billion gone down the drain…

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Huo Cenfengs expression changed! “How could it be? After paying the money, he would have the right to develop the land. The contract clearly stated that if Ah Lan won the bid, that piece of land would belong to Ah Lan!”

“But, but…

The higher-ups swallowed their saliva in panic and then spat out a sentence that shocked everyone!

“However, a large ancient tomb group was discovered under that piece of land..

Boom!

Huo Cenfeng’s body suddenly fell backward and staggered back to his seat!

“What did you say?!’

The higher-ups had already said the first sentence, so the rest of the sentence was much simpler.

“There’s a group of ancient tombs under that piece of land!! The country had already sent a professional archeological team. They had arrived at that piece of land an hour ago and protected it. The archeological team needed to station a tomb here. This piece of land… The country has to take it back…”

According to the country’s laws, if there were major archaeological discoveries on private land, such as important ruins or large royal tombs, they had to wait for the country’s unified arrangements. These historical sites could not be owned by private individuals, and it was even more impossible to develop tourist villas.

And there was a group of ancient tombs under this land…

So…. Crippled!
