"Everyone says this industry makes money fast, as long as you invest, you can gain huge profits. I’m sure I’ll earn without losing," Huo Minghao muttered obsessively to himself.

Thinking about this, Huo Minghao couldn’t restrain his inner impulse. He learned that there was an auction coming up and wanted to try his luck there, to see if he could buy a piece of land he desired.

He ignored everything else and rushed into the auction with money, ready to bid on the land. After anxiously waiting for a long time, he finally saw the bidding for a piece of land starting. He looked quickly and felt that this must be a good piece of land.

Nearby, there were several shopping malls and facilities under construction. If all goes well, this place might be bustling in the future.

This assumption was correct, making Huo Sizun extremely excited and hurriedly raised the paddle, wanting to win the land. However, someone outbid him first. Seeing someone competing with him, Huo Minghao was even more convinced that he made the right choice and raised the paddle again.

Unexpectedly, the person still wanted to compete with him, shouted, "Six million!" This made Huo Minghao extremely angry, glaring fiercely at the person and shouted while raising the paddle, "Six million five hundred thousand!"

The momentum was sufficient, but his funds were not abundant. He bid decisively, but in his heart, he was praying that the opponent would not raise the bid again.

But that person was determined to compete with him and directly added another million.

If this continued, it would exceed the budget. Huo Minghao’s palms began to sweat, but this piece of land was said to be the one he was most passionate about in this auction. If missed, whether he could find a better plot in the short term was unknown.

Moreover, he was already impatient to make a fortune in real estate, how could he give up easily?

He mentally repeated "You can’t catch wolves without sacrificing sheep," and ultimately decided to bid.

After intense competition, Huo Minghao successfully acquired two plots of land. When the auctioneer hammered down, he let out a long breath.

Holding the title transfer certificate tightly in his hand, Huo Minghao seemed to have already seen himself making bags of money.

Since the land is bought, the next steps would be much easier. Just after leaving the auction, Huo Minghao immediately prepared to register a branch company for Huo Real Estate.

"I want to register a new real estate company, arrange it immediately," Huo Minghao instructed his secretary.

Upon receiving the command, the secretary was somewhat surprised. Although he knew Huo Minghao wanted to invest in real estate, he didn’t expect such efficiency, getting it done in just two or three days?

Faced with Huo Minghao’s rash decision, the secretary was somewhat puzzled. But he couldn’t question the boss’s decision, he could only obediently assist Huo Minghao.

The branch company was quickly registered, and Huo Minghao was triumphant, thinking he would surely make a fortune this time.

Thinking of the bright future of the land, Huo Minghao was eager to get started.

Late at night, Huo Sizun came to Huo Minghao’s house under the cover of darkness, looking incredibly anxious.

He rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door slowly opened. The sight was an extremely gloomy-faced Huo Minghao. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Who is it? Disturbing people’s sleep so late at night!" Huo Minghao was dreaming of making a fortune and was awoken.

Seeing the visitor, Huo Minghao was a bit surprised, staring for a few seconds before sarcastically saying, "Oh, isn’t it Uncle Sizun? No one comes to visit without a reason, what brings you to this rundown place of mine late at night?"

With urgency, Huo Sizun said, "You shouldn’t act recklessly! Can’t you discuss things with others?"

He can’t let the entire Huo clan be destroyed at Huo Minghao’s hands.

These aggressive preaching words made Huo Minghao immediately frown. The originally sarcastic pleasantries were also gone.

"What do you understand! Now Huo is under my control, do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Huo Minghao said viciously.

Listening to these triumphant yet senseless words, Huo Sizun trembled with anger. How did Huo end up in this guy’s hands?

Although he wanted to reclaim Huo instantly, it wasn’t realistic. He could only hope to minimize Huo’s losses before they succeeded.

"You... you!" Huo Sizun said trembling with anger, "You bloody know nothing! If you continue this way, Huo is finished!"

Yet, Huo Sizun’s words had no effect on Huo Minghao. Huo Minghao directly took out his phone and started dialing the property management.

"Is it property management? There’s a madman at my door, going crazy late at night. Aren’t you going to do something? Immediately send the security over!" Huo Minghao said arrogantly.

Huo Sizun had no choice but to glare fiercely at Huo Minghao and leave hurriedly.

Just a short distance away, he encountered a security guard with a strong flashlight looking for someone. He quickly hid to the side, almost getting caught several times, finally managing to escape.

He initially thought the words he spoke might not have a big impact, but at least they could make Huo Minghao realize a bit of his mistakes. However, Huo Minghao remained unrepentant.

Huo Minghao thought he had acquired a premium piece of land and was proud, envisioning the prosperous future before anything was built.

However, this so-called "good land" was actually a trap, meant to ensnare Huo Minghao.

Liu Group and Wang Group had long set up a trap for the Huo family, a trap that started when Huo Minghao prepared to auction the land.

If Huo Minghao had been a little more alert, he wouldn’t have fallen into this trap. But they saw through Huo Minghao’s arrogance and stupidity.

On the surface, real estate was the most profitable industry right now. They also guessed that Huo Minghao, having money, would definitely want to invest and make money grow.

As for whether he’d make a fortune or end with nothing, that was another matter entirely.

The land at the auction was carefully designed by them, and Huo Minghao, like a headless fly, was steadily approaching the trap step by step.

He didn’t take the time to observe or inquire, yet he spent a fortune to purchase two plots of land again.

Now the preliminary work was almost ready, next was to build houses. Huo Minghao faced a bright future and refused to listen to anything.

In the company, someone told Huo Minghao that real estate was risky, but Huo Minghao was determined and even held a meeting to loudly berate them.

"As businessmen, don’t you know the saying ’Fortune lies in danger’? Each one of you has no backbone, what kind of business can you do?" Huo Minghao said at length.

Listening to his words, the others chose to remain silent, bowing their heads as they quietly listened to Huo Minghao’s long speech.

Now everything was almost ready, just the house building remained.

However, after Huo Minghao outsourced the project, a sudden change occurred.

"What?!" Upon hearing the new information from the secretary, Huo Minghao’s body trembled all over.

"How could this be? This is absolutely impossible! How could such a thing suddenly happen!" Huo Minghao shouted angrily at the secretary.

The secretary quietly cursed Huo Minghao’s lack of clear thinking, but he could only endure the scolding because now Huo Minghao had no other means to vent his anger.

Huo Minghao held tightly to the report submitted by the secretary, which stated a mall was acquired.

At first, only one mall was acquired, Huo Minghao didn’t pay much attention. He thought some people, like him, valued this location and saw its development potential.

At that time, he was still proud, thinking he had good vision, and those who advised him had no brains for making money.

When news of the acquisition of the second mall came, Huo Minghao began to feel a vague sense of unease.
