This is not the treatment a prisoner should receive!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang had some suspicions in her mind and asked, "Are you saying that the people here really didn't make things difficult for you?"

Zhao Huanhuan shook her head and said, "No, because I'm pregnant, I tried my best to relax and calm down. I noticed some clues, and our Huo family is not in dire straits."

“That’s true,” Jiang Lifang said. “If the higher-ups really wanted our Huo family to be wiped out, we’d probably be arrested as soon as we got off the train.”

Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "Yes, Second Aunt, so I'm not worried inside."

"Good, Huanhuan, it's very good that you can stay calm in such an environment," Jiang Lifang praised, never expecting Zhao Huanhuan to be such a strong woman.

Huo Yingjun is lucky to have married such a wife.

Zhao Huanhuan forced a smile and said, "Before I got married, I was sent to Africa to help with the fight against the epidemic. I witnessed a lot of life and death there. I felt helpless, but I felt more love and gratitude. I can't help with things outside. The only thing I can take care of is myself and the baby in my belly."

"Huanhuan, it's already quite remarkable that you've done this much," Jiang Lifang praised, her gaze softening as she looked at Zhao Huanhuan.

Just then, one of the guards said, "Time's up!"

"Take good care of yourself," Jiang Lifang urged again.

"I've got it, Second Aunt," Zhao Huanhuan said. Compared to her petty mother-in-law, she preferred her Second Aunt.

It's just a pity that her second aunt wasn't her mother-in-law.

As for that sister-in-law, we're better off without her!

The family of three came out and went to see Director Liang, hoping that Zhao Huanhuan, the pregnant woman, would be treated well.

The Huo family has fallen, but the Zhao family is still around!

Director Liang was naturally willing to do this favor and promised to treat Zhao Huanhuan well.

As for Huo Yingqi, they didn't even consider seeing her, since they already knew she had been used by Zhou Yuanyuan. How she was used was no longer important. What mattered was how to clean up the mess.

Huo Yingjie accompanied his parents back to the guesthouse, had dinner, and then held a meeting.

“Yingjie, tonight we’ll go find the informant Yingjun gave us,” Huo Zhekun said. “Then we’ll discuss how to proceed. The sooner we resolve this, the sooner your grandparents can be released. They’re getting old, and their bodies can’t take it any longer.”

"Yes, I know." Huo Yingjie nodded. "I also have undercover agents in Yanjing. My grandfather gave me quite a few before, and they come in handy now."

“Alright, let’s split up,” Huo Zhekun said. “You go find your informant, and I’ll go find my and Yingjun. Be careful, and try to be back before dawn.”

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it that way. Mom, it's dark outside, be careful and don't go out. With Lao Lian here, you'll be safe."

Jiang Lifang was frightened, worried that her son and husband might have an accident while they were out.

However, the die was cast, and she could not stop her husband and son. She could only nod and say, "No matter what, you must come back safely. The Huo family can no longer take any more risks."

"Mm." Huo Zhekun and Huo Yingjie nodded, then turned and disappeared through the door into the night!

Jiang Lifang poured herself a cup of hot water to warm her icy hands, and then began the agonizing wait.

Huo Zhekun's contact obtained more precise information, including the whereabouts of Old Master Huo, Old Madam Huo, and Huo's eldest brother and sister-in-law. They were currently only being restricted in their freedom; they had not suffered any physical harm.

Hearing this news, Huo Zhekun felt slightly relieved. From these hidden clues, Huo Zhekun also understood the situation.

As long as the Huo family can find strong evidence or testimony, they can clear their name.

But that's precisely the hardest part.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Huo Zhekun rushed back.

After Huo Yingjie left the guesthouse, he had Xiao Xuan Gui stay by his father's side to protect his safety.

Huo Yingjie was worried that the Zheng family or other hostile forces might take the opportunity to kill his father, so he had to be on guard.

With the little tortoise protecting him, Huo Yingjie was at least not worried about his father's safety.

Huo Yingjie walked to a secluded spot, made a hand seal, and created a clone, resulting in two Huo Yingjies appearing on the same spot.

One of the fakes came out of the alley and headed to the hidden location as planned.

This was done for those who were secretly monitoring him.

Ever since the family of three arrived in Yanjing, they have been under surveillance by some people.

Since they want to see it, then let them see it!

As for Huo Ying's true form, it became transparent and disappeared on the spot.

Huo Yingjie first went to the Zheng family and directly read the memories of the Zheng family patriarch. He learned who the Zheng family had asked to make the fake evidence. The person was named Deng Jiu. Before the liberation, he was an antique dealer who was good at mounting and appraising antiques, but his specialty was imitating handwriting.

Deng Jiu is currently being held under the watchful eye of the Zheng family. He is a key figure, and Huo Yingjie will take him away.

The second key figure is Zhou Yuanyuan.

When Huo Yingjie found Zhou Yuanyuan, she was having sex with Zheng Rong.

After a brief pause, Zhou Yuanyuan said coquettishly, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, why can't we go to trial? Are we waiting for Huo Yingjie to come back and overturn the verdict?"

Zheng Rong, panting heavily, took a drag of his cigarette and groaned in pleasure. Hearing Zhou Yuanyuan's words, he said impatiently, "I don't know which old geezer at the top stopped us, saying that the Huo family, three generations of them, are all Party members and have made outstanding contributions to the country, so we can't act rashly."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Yuanyuan said. "I'm afraid that if we take too long, giving Huo Yingjie too much time will be even more disadvantageous for us!"

"Hehe, don't worry," Zheng Rong said. "You said it yourself, the evidence is conclusive, and the Huo family has no chance of finding evidence to overturn the verdict. Huo Yingjie is capable, but he's also a bookworm. I heard he was blown silly by a shell before."

"Heavens are blind! Why didn't they just blow him up?" Zhou Yuanyuan said, feeling a deep hatred for Huo Yingjie.

The downfall of the Zhou family and her current predicament are all caused by Huo Yingjie.

If he hadn't rejected her back then, the Huo family and the Zhou family would still be allies, and things wouldn't be like this now!

Everyone in the industry knows about the affair between the Zhou and Huo families!

Hearing Zhou Yuanyuan's indignation, Zheng Rong assumed that Zhou Yuanyuan was still hung up on Huo Yingjie. He narrowed his eyes, pinched Zhou Yuanyuan's chin, and said, "What? Can't forget Huo Yingjie?"

Hearing Zheng Rong's unfriendly tone, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly explained, "He is our Zhou family's enemy. If it weren't for him, our Zhou family wouldn't have been destroyed. I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh."

"Hehe, the stinger of a wasp is the most poisonous thing, and a woman's heart is the most venomous, that's absolutely true." Zheng Rong chuckled. "I hope you remember what I'm saying now, I don't want my woman to be thinking about another man."
