Was Zhang Ze's defection related to Huo Cifeng? Had he been discovered?
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he panicked instantly. He watched as Hu Lian gave him a mocking smile before being taken back.
Luo Beishi didn't know what Wu You'an was thinking, but he was quite surprised to learn that Hu Lian had walked into the trap on his own, because Huo Cheng didn't seem to care much. Hu Lian's case was also very complicated; he hadn't directly killed anyone, and the sentence hadn't been handed down yet. The trial was a long process.
The same applies to the other members of the Huo Family; it will take at least a year and a half to complete the trial process.
However, in Hu Lian's case, he'll probably only get a sentence of ten years or so, and he'll be in his early thirties when he gets out. Hu La has saved him a lot of money, so he won't have to worry about surviving after he gets out.
It has to be said that the Huo Family doesn't tolerate idlers; even their illegitimate son must have a hundred schemes in his head.
Huo Cheng was at home, and finally someone came to interview him.
Ask if you want to.
A Hu and A Long exchanged a glance.
A Hu silently turned on the recording, then cautiously asked, "Mr. Huo, are you aware of Wu You'an's matter?"
Huo Cheng didn't evade the question, but just sighed slowly, "I know, of course I know, but Xiao'an Xiao'an's mother was supporting a young gambling addict back then, and she lost all the money. Later, she was diagnosed with cancer. You know, sometimes a person can break down in an instant, and that's how she committed suicide."
I know many people may think that I made her sad and hurt her, which is why she committed suicide, but she herself already knew what kind of person I was, and was willing to accept what I gave her.
I transferred a large sum of money to her before, which was meant for Xiao'an's savings. Who knew that this woman would give it all to that gambler? I was so angry that I broke off all contact with her, and I also secretly arranged for someone to give Xiao'an's child support to his aunt."
A Hu: "..." When it comes to children, this scumbag is actually quite attentive.
Then, Huo Cheng added, " A-Xiao sent you to ask, so just go back and tell him directly. Anyway, my life is already under his control. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Huo Cheng didn't actually want to be monitored; he was just worried that Huo Cixiao might kill his father if he got upset.
After all, what else could someone be but a freak if they could keep a giant python as a pet?
With the recent scandal involving his illegitimate child becoming increasingly difficult to conceal, he's become the laughingstock of aristocratic circles. He hasn't left his house for many days; he'll wait until things calm down before making any further moves.
Having gathered the intelligence A Hu and his companion quickly drove to investigate the gambler Huo Cheng had mentioned. Huo Cheng even provided the gambler's detailed address.
But they couldn't find the gambler. They learned from the neighbors that the gambler had already gone to jail, having been reported by someone.
Luo Beishi learned of this, he remained silent for a long time. "I never thought Huo Cheng could be cheated on by his lover, but even so, Huo Cheng is still willing to give them money, which can be considered as being extremely kind and righteous."
The only puzzling thing is that his aunt's family has probably already embezzled the child support money Huo Cheng was supposed to give to Wu You'an.
Huo Cixiao nodded. "It seems that Wu You'an was not unaware of the truth. To be precise, his mother's death had nothing to do with Huo Cheng, but young Wu You'an made revenge his goal in growing up."
But when he learned that his mother had another man, he couldn't believe it. He ended up deceiving himself, feeling that Huo Cheng had wronged him because Huo Cheng hadn't cared for him. He seized this last excuse and continued his path of revenge.
Luo Beishi sighed, "His driving force has been revenge. What if he suddenly realizes he's targeting the wrong person?"
His adoptive parents, his aunt's family, kept spending the money Huo Cheng gave him, and then instilled in him the idea that his biological father ignored him and abandoned him. He felt like a pitiful little thing with no one to care for him, and that only his aunt's family was someone he could rely on. It was because he trusted his aunt too much that he didn't notice anything amiss.
Huo Cixiao scoffed lightly. "This is probably not something we should do; we can just leave it to Huo Cifeng."
Luo Beishi instantly understood. "Ah, I understand, my husband is so smart, my husband is so sweet."
Huo Cixiao lowered his head and kissed his eyes, then changed the subject. "Your brother is missing."
Luo Beishi: "Huh? My big brother is gone? How is that possible?"
" Zhong Qijiu has run away, I guess," Huo Cixiao speculated, then added, "How about we go on our honeymoon in a few days?"
Luo Beishi pushed his handsome face away, "What about my internship?"
Huo Cixiao: "A business trip is also an internship; I can help you get the necessary documentation."
Luo Beishi: "..."
System: "... Host, we all underestimated this villain. He really does whatever he wants."
Looking out the window, Luo Beishi noticed that the sky was indeed much bluer.
Spring has long since arrived; it's the season for everything to revive and for animals to roam freely.
Huo Cixiao kissed him again. "Wife, where do you want to go?"
Luo Beishi hesitated, "I don't know. I've never been on a trip before. I need to look at travel recommendations and guides."
Huo Cixiao gave a soft "hmm" and then tapped a few times on his notebook. A long, illustrated introduction appeared before him.
Luo Beishi managed to ask with difficulty, "You didn't actually have Special Assistant Wen, who's always so busy, do this, did you?"
Huo Cixiao nodded. "Hmm? Is that not allowed? He was paid."
What else could Luo Beishi say? His willful and handsome husband was always right. The better Huo Cixiao treated him, the more he wanted to reveal all his secrets. But he didn't know where to begin.
Speaking of Special Assistant Wen, he recalled that Wen Gong Special Assistant Wen would report his work to him every day. Even if he didn't say anything, Wen Gong would still compile the reports, and the financial statements were clear at a glance.
Wen Gong was a capable man; he managed everything, big and small, in an orderly manner. The two of them didn't set up a company; they relied entirely on Wen Gong to collect rent and manage their finances.
He wanted to give Wen Gong a raise, but Wen Gong told him that he was the one who saved him from dire straits, and that they could talk about the salary later.
