“Is that so? Then it seems that I have wronged you. In that case, call the police and seek justice for yourself.” Huo Jiuxiao said fearlessly, “Anyway, I want to go to jail to see my aunt and ask her what she thinks. After all, she was abandoned by the ancestral hall and sent to jail because she framed her brother. ”
After Huo Jiuxiao’s reminder, many of the Huo Family members present, especially those from the Huo family’s side branch, sneered. This was because the Huo Family’s ancestral hall seemed like a joke now. It was a tool to maintain power, but it had to use the slogan of fairness and justice. The ancestral hall had the most dirty things. The Huo Corporation seemed to be in charge of everything, but in fact, it was just a toy in the ancestral hall.
At this moment, Huo Weichen finally realized that Yun Shujing was indeed helping him just now.
The mother and son had no way of knowing how much evidence Huo Jiuxiao had and how many secrets would be revealed if he called the police. Judging from Huo Jiuxiao’s vague and confident attitude, calling the police would be a disaster for Huo Weichen, perhaps even more tragic than Huo Zizhen. However, was he supposed to admit that he had killed Huo Zizhen?
What kind of joke was this?
“So, Weichen, did you or did you not kill Zizhen?” Uncle Zhong asked Huo Weichen angrily when he saw that both mother and son were silent.
“Talk nicely. After all, the criminals who took Huo Zizhen away have already been found. Your ex-girlfriend has also explained most of your chat records…”
“I… I just want to teach Huo Zizhen a lesson.” Huo Weichen had no choice but to use the most euphemistic way to describe it, lecture.
“So, bribing a maid and colluding with a vicious criminal to enter a house with a gun is called a lesson?” Huo Jiuxiao immediately corrected him. “It seems like you hate Huo Zizhen more than I do. He’s already been expelled from the Huo Family, yet you still want to kill her.”
Uncle Zhong sat in the main seat and shook his head as if he had given up completely. “Since it’s already come to this, let’s call the police. Huo Huiwen was sent to prison because of this. There’s no reason for Huo Weichen to do this. It’s a different set of standards.”
“You can’t call the police!” Yun Shujing shouted excitedly.
“Why not?” Uncle Zhong asked.
“Your ancestral hall has received so many benefits from me and forced me to do so many dirty things. Why should you send my son to jail? Why? Then all my years of hard work have been in vain?” Yun Shujing shouted sternly.
Uncle Zhong frowned and looked at Yun Shujing. He gritted his teeth and asked, “You keep saying how many benefits the ancestral hall has received from you. Who did you bribe? Can you give me a specific name list and a public number?”
Yun Shujing looked around the ancestral hall, her gaze focused on the two elders who had been replaced earlier.
“Back then, I didn’t have the chance to get close to Huo Qingxiao. I only got this chance because I got involved with Uncle Shen and Uncle Kou. Because Lu Ziyun refused to pay the two of them a “protection fee”, she even threatened to report them. That was why the ancestral hall collectively forced Huo Qingxiao to change his wife. All these years, how much money have I spent on these two uncles? I raised your family like dogs so that you could send my son to jail?”
Yun Shujing went crazy and turned over the collusion between him and the ancestral hall all these years.
“I’m not afraid that you’ll find out today. It’s your fault for calling yourself a legitimate member of the Huo Family and calling you a mistress’ illegitimate child. Your ancestral hall knew what kind of person I was from the beginning, but didn’t you still choose me? What did this mean? The Huo Family has always been an extremely dirty place.”
As Yun Shujing spoke, tears flowed down her face, but she still put on a stubborn smile. However, this smile was extremely sarcastic. To protect her children, Yun Shujing cut herself again and again. Now, she was on the verge of self-destruction. However, she knew very well that she and Huo Qingxiao did not have much of a relationship. Huo Qingxiao had always known what kind of person she was, so the most important thing for her now was to protect her children.
Even though the son she wanted to protect had just taken her daughter’s life.
After hearing Yun Shujing’s words, Uncle Zhong took a deep breath helplessly.
Although he had long predicted that such a day would come in the ancestral hall, he did not expect it to come so quickly.
“So, from tonight onwards, the ancestral hall will only have the function of worshipping the ancestors. It will no longer be able to decide the case for you as it pleases. If even our people are not clean, I’m afraid there won’t be any credibility to speak of.” Uncle Zhong chose to end everything in front of him. “The ancestral hall has experienced the power struggle of the Huo Family for several generations and was once fair. But why did it come to this day? I can only sigh. Now that this place has become a protective umbrella and a deep well, we don’t want to continue struggling. From today onwards, all your grudges and grudges will be resolved by yourselves. Call the police if you need to, and go to jail if you need to. Everything has nothing to do with the ancestral hall anymore.”
“Shujing, you said that the ancestral hall is a dirty place. I can only agree with you now. However, the protective umbrella that you exchanged for benefits would also lose its protective power. If you hate others because of this reason, it can only mean that this is the karma of your many unjust deeds. I once wanted to protect your child because I didn’t want them to fight too fiercely and cause the Huo Family to wither. But now, I regret it because I realized that
I was too self-righteous and would cause a disaster instead.”
“The ancestral hall can’t give you an answer on how to deal with this matter. Now, you can go and beg the relevant personnel, but don’t enter the ancestral hall again.”
“Since it’s your family matter, you can make the decision now,” Uncle Zhong said and turned to Huo Qingxiao.
“Qing Xiao…”
“Jiuxiao.” Huo Qingxiao threw the difficult question back to Huo Jiuxiao. “What kind of result do you want?”
“It’s your illegitimate son who wants to kill your illegitimate daughter. You’re asking me what kind of result I want?” Huo Jiuxiao asked with a sneer.
“I’m asking you what you want.”
What Huo Qingxiao meant was that he wanted to protect Huo Weichen so that Huo Jiuxiao could raise his conditions.
At this point, Huo Weichen’s teasing words had led to the disbandment of the ancestral hall. Huo Jiuxiao’s power was indeed not to be underestimated.
He might be deaf.
However, his scheming and brains were far superior to everyone in the room with the surname Huo.
What did he want this time?
