Chapter 70: Retiring on the 70th Day It doesn't matter, beating ghosts is not illegal. ...

Zhao Hanhai turned on the hands-free mode, and Li Yuan's voice came out with a bit of excitement and sighing, but it was not clear.

Sang Qiqi and Mingxin very consciously got up from the sofa, moved to the left and right of Zhao Hanhai, and pricked up their ears to try to hear more clearly.

Seeing their behavior, Zhao Hanhai's mouth and eyes twitched twice, somewhat amused. He asked Li Yuan politely, "Are you sure?"

"Almost confirmed," Li Yuan replied. "I see people in the PR department's chat room sharing the video of the accident scene. It's pretty interesting, right before and after Huo Gan's car accident."

After receiving a definitive reply, Zhao Hanhai covered the receiver of his phone and repeated Li Yuan's words to Huo Chengji. Huo Chengji thought of his mother, who tragically died in the Caesarian section operating room. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he instructed, "Have the PR department help publicize the story of this father and son."

Zhao Hanhai responded immediately and returned the words to Li Yuan exactly as they were.

The latter was momentarily stunned when he heard the words "Mr. Huo said." After hanging up the phone and preparing to call someone to mobilize the "water army," he suddenly paused, belatedly muttering to himself, "Mr. Huo is awake?"

Then a strong surprise flashed in his eyes, and Li Yuan's speed as he walked out of the office increased a lot.

His choice to side with Huo Chengji at this moment was nothing more than a gamble. Success would elevate him to Huo Chengji's admiration and a higher position within the Pingxi Group; failure would leave him with nothing. However, Li Yuan sincerely believed that Huo Gan and Huo Wenbin, a father and son duo who cared only about living a life of luxury, were hopeless. Their chances of success in their struggle for power with Huo Chengji were slim.

And now, with Huo Chengji waking up, his chances of winning the bet are infinitely expanding.

In the VIP ward.

After Zhao Hanhai hung up the phone, he found that Sang Qiqi and Mingxin were still standing on his left and right sides, motionless like guardians, and looking at him with expectant eyes.

Zhao Hanhai: “…?”

There was some doubt and confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't quite understand why the two people were still standing there.

Until Sang Qiqi urged: "Didn't they say there was a live video? Let me see it quickly."

Zhao Hanhai: “…”

To be honest, Sang Qiqi, the boss of a one-stop funeral service company, is awesome, but the gossips she spreads are also real gossips.

But curiosity is human nature, and Zhao Hanhai also wanted to know what happened to Huo Wenbin after the fall.

Sang Qiqi, Mingxin, and Zhao Hanhai sat on the sofa. Zhao Hanhai held his phone, playing a video of the accident. Sang Qiqi had initially been puzzled by how the accident could have happened to smash Huo Wenbin's gadget, but when she saw the expensive motorcycle lying by the guardrail, everything clicked.

Zhao Hanhai clicked his tongue twice: "Yes, Huo Wenbin really likes motorcycles."

Before his illegitimate status was revealed, Huo Chengji doted on his younger brother and bought him numerous motorcycles for modification. The one now lying broken and shattered on the road was the most expensive of all, having been specially flown in from abroad by Huo Chengji and then modified by a renowned motorcycle modification master.

Now Huo Wenbin fell down while riding this bike and broke his eggs. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the echo of fate and the retribution of an idiot.

"Wait a minute, does this ambulance have the name of this hospital written on it?" Sang Qiqi spotted the ambulance speeding over and then stopping. Although only a corner of it was visible in the video, Zhao Hanhai and Mingxin confirmed it was there without a doubt.

Sang Qiqi and Mingxin looked at each other, and they both stood up and walked downstairs.

"Hey... why are you leaving again?!"

"I'm going to watch the fun." Huo Chengji looked at the shaking door and felt a little amused.

Although Boss Sang behaves very mature most of the time, she is still a very lovely girl at heart.

A bit like his cousin.

Turning his gaze back to Zhao Hanhai, he thought for a moment and said, "If you're interested, you can go and have a look."

Zhao Hanhai waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this, "I'm not very interested—"

Before he could finish his words, he met Huo Chengji's gaze. The tacit understanding fostered by eight years of superior-subordinate relationships instantly clicked. Zhao Hanhai nodded vigorously, picked up his phone, and walked out the door while saying to Huo Chengji, "I've thought about it. This opportunity to see Huo Wenbin laugh is rare. If I miss it, I might never get another chance again. Don't worry, Mr. Huo. I'm a person who loves to share. I'll send you the video as soon as I get it, so you can check if my filming skills have improved."

Huo Chengji: "..."

Zhao Hanhai was in the elevator next to Sang Qiqi and Mingxin. When he arrived, they were sitting on the flower bed outside the emergency room. Seeing him coming, they waved and said, "I asked around, and there's been no sign of an ambulance in ten minutes. I guess they haven't arrived yet."

Zhao Hanhai responded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the distant sound of an ambulance siren behind him.

The three of them exchanged a glance and decisively found a perfect corner that wouldn't disturb the medical staff's movements or obstruct their sight. They pulled out their phones and waited for about two minutes before they saw an ambulance hastily pull up at the door. Doctors and nurses rushed to the ambulance and carried the person inside out.

Surprisingly, even after the motorcycle had knocked the guardrail several meters away, Huo Wenbin was still alive. He was lying on a stretcher, wailing and clutching his penis. Seeing a doctor approaching, he frantically grabbed the doctor's white coat and pleaded with his last remaining strength, "Doctor, you must help me! I'm not married and I don't have children... You must help me!"

Phew.

In the panic, the sudden laughter seemed particularly abrupt.

Huo Wenbin was about to faint, but when he heard the laughter, it was like an injection of adrenaline. He suddenly woke up and his eyes were cast very accurately at where Sang Qiqi was.

Having watched Sang Qiqi's live broadcast, he certainly knew what Sang Qiqi looked like.

Seeing her smiling brightly at this moment, and raising her hand to greet him, and even shaking her cell phone, Huo Wenbin almost couldn't breathe.

But at this moment, the doctors and nurses had already sped up the pace to push him to the emergency room. Amid the rumbling sound of the rollers, Huo Wenbin could only watch himself getting farther and farther away from Sang Qiqi.

Huo Wenbin's emergency surgery lasted a full three hours, with several doctors coming in to try to improve the patient's condition. Unfortunately, when Huo Wenbin was taken to the ward and awoke from anesthesia, the surgeon standing at his bedside, like the Grim Reaper, announced the devastating news with an apologetic air: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. We're truly helpless in your case. Also... once you've recovered, we recommend you visit the men's department for another checkup."

Huo Wenbin felt as if the world was spinning around him.

The doctor's voice buzzed and echoed, blowing his head into a mess.

His voice trembled, as if he didn't believe it: "What do you mean by that?"

The doctor was silent for two seconds, then replied, "This car accident may have had some impact on your future sexual life."

Huo Wenbin: “…”

The young man, who was completely unable to accept this stimulation, began to breathe rapidly, then rolled his eyes and fainted completely.

doctor:"……!"

Huo Wenbin woke up again an hour later.

He lay on the hospital bed like a fool. The pain in his body was very obvious, causing his face to twitch from time to time.

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door, and before Huo Wenbin could respond, Liu Anzhi walked in carrying a basket of fruit and flowers. Seeing Huo Wenbin's head tilted, his eyes fixed on him, Liu Anzhi subconsciously shuddered. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Huo Wenbin's eyes seemed gloomy at the moment, as if he was about to swallow him whole.

But... not that serious, right?

He had rushed to the hospital with his belongings the moment he got the news. It was just that Huo Wenbin was still in the operating room, and when he came out, he was unconscious again, so he had to wait until now. This waiting time also showed his unwavering loyalty to Huo Wenbin.

Huo Wenbin should have nothing but praise for him.

Thinking of this, Liu Anzhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Second Young Master, are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

Huo Wenbin has no appetite at all now.

Whenever he thought about not being able to have children in the future, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He certainly wasn't that keen on having children, but the group of old men on the board of directors who were connected to the Huo family didn't think so. In their minds, losing fertility meant losing the right to inherit. If they had known those women were pregnant, they should have let them give birth to the children...

However, if I can keep it secret from the old guys on the board of directors, there should still be a chance for the inheritance.

"But, but I can't hide it anymore." A trembling voice rang in his ears. Huo Wenbin turned his head sharply and saw Liu Anzhi speaking. He was shocked to realize that he had been stunned by the anesthetic and had actually spoken out what he had been thinking in his heart. But this was no longer the key point. The key was Liu Anzhi's words "I can't hide it anymore." He asked with a husky and weak voice, his eyes sullen, "What do you mean by I can't hide it anymore?"

Liu Anzhi opened his mouth, a little hesitant to provoke Huo Wenbin again, but Huo Wenbin was not unfamiliar with using a mobile phone, so his deliberate concealment would not have any effect.

So I chose to tell the truth: "Someone took a picture of the scene of your car accident, and many people guessed your identity based on your unique motorcycle."

"That's just knowing my identity. Can they also guess that I can't have children?"

Liu Anzhi explained sheepishly, "Some people did speculate that you might have hit your lower body, but what confirmed this was... a video that suddenly appeared, capturing you lying on a transfer bed, holding onto a doctor's white coat so they could help you."

Huo Wenbin was stunned.

Immediately, Sang Qiqi's smiling face and the shaking cell phone before she was sent to the operating room appeared in her mind.

"Sang Qiqi...it must have been Sang Qiqi who did it! This bitch, I'm going to kill her! Kill her!"

Huo Wenbin figured out the whole thing, and his eyes burned red with rage. His fingers clenched the bed sheet tightly, his chest heaving violently, wishing he could cut Sang Qiqi into pieces.

When Liu Anzhi heard the name Sang Qiqi, his expression also drooped.

How is it related to this woman again?

This woman is here specifically to defeat them!

"cell phone."

"You, you still want to read Weibo?" Liu Anzhi, startled by those two words, frowned and reminded, "Forget it, there's nothing interesting to see."

This will prevent you from fainting from anger again later.

But it was obvious that Huo Wenbin, whose rage had completely consumed his rationality, didn't want to listen at all. He stared at Liu Anzhi so hard that he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that his advice was useless, he could only bite the bullet and hand the unlocked phone to Huo Wenbin.

Huo Wenbin opened Weibo and saw the topic that was pushed to the top of the hot search list without having to search: Huo Wenbin is suspected to be unable to have children after the car accident.

It's concise, but it mentions everything that needs to be mentioned.

He clicked on the topic with trembling fingers, and the most popular one was the video shot by Sang Qiqi in which he begged the doctor to help him.

Then click on the comments in a self-deprecating manner.

[? ]

[No, how come you have all kinds of videos?]

[When I think of the young master who used to be obsessed with women now covering his buttocks and begging the doctor for help pitifully, I want to laugh]

Huo Wenbin looked like he was in real pain. He kept his hands on his butt at the scene of the accident. He didn't even let go when he got to the hospital. /doge

[I strongly suspect the video was taken by 377. I was also at the First Municipal Hospital, and when Huo Wenbin passed by me, I saw 377 and a Taoist priest.]

[What bad luck! I was originally thinking of stepping over that unlucky Mr. Huo to become the leader of the Pingxi Group, but now... ummm, if I can't have children, how can I still do that?]

[That's definitely not possible. Pingxi Group still has a few old guys on the board of directors, and they're not easy to deal with.]

@Huo Wenbin, bro, I don't mean anything special. I just want to ask you to post a Weibo after you're discharged, detailing exactly how you hit that spot. Any tips? I'll avoid it.

[It was hard to tell whether Huo Wenbin or Huo Chengji was unlucky]

[I heard Huo Chengji has woken up, right?]

Huo Chengji woke up?

These five words once again turned Huo Wenbin's head into a mess. His pupils gradually dilated. He squeezed the phone in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. He looked at Liu Anzhi and asked with a heavy breath, "Is Huo Chengji awake?"

W-What?!

Liu Anzhi suddenly stood up from the sofa, his eyes flashing with disbelief and fear. He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was extremely dry and he couldn't utter a word. After a long while, he stammered, "No, it's impossible."

Meeting Huo Wenbin's gaze, Liu Anzhi raised his voice a little: "Impossible, if Mr. Huo wakes up, he will definitely go back to Madam Huo's funeral hall and the company immediately! I just came out of the company before coming to you, so I can make sure that Mr. Huo hasn't gone there."

"Besides, weren't the doctors helpless against Mr. Huo's coma? It doesn't make sense that he would recover as soon as you were injured!" Liu Anzhi convinced himself, "How could it be such a coincidence? The netizens must be making this up. This person's IP isn't even from Jingbei. How did he know that Mr. Huo woke up?"

Seeing Liu Anzhi's confident look, Huo Wenbin was reluctantly convinced.

He exhaled slowly and thought to himself, that's right.

But he and Huo Gan had been in trouble one after another, and this situation was not right. Thinking back to when Huo Gan came to him and vowed, "Don't worry, you are my son. If you want, I will definitely help you get the Pingxi Group. Your father, I know an incredible Taoist priest who is very good at making people have bad luck. When this person is unlucky, he doesn't care about life or death. Once bad luck really hits him, he can choke to death even if he drinks water. Just wait, Huo Chengji will die like this."

But now... he didn't know whether Huo Chengji was dead or alive. If Huo Gan continued to follow him like this, he would really die!

Gritting his teeth, he ordered Liu Anzhi: "Go check on my dad and see if he's awake. If he wakes up, let me know immediately."

Only then did Liu Anzhi remember that there was another person named Huo Gan in this hospital.

As he nodded and walked out the door, he muttered in his heart that the Huo family was simply holding a team-building event in the hospital.

Unfortunately, after Liu Anzhi finally found out where Huo Gan was, he was told that he was still in the operating room undergoing emergency surgery on his legs. Liu Anzhi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that several hours had passed, and Huo Gan's legs hadn't been operated on yet... The situation must be quite serious.

He turned to go back to Huo Wenbin's ward, but suddenly remembered something. He fixed his gaze on the nurse again and asked with a frown, "Doesn't Mr. Huo need to sign for the surgery on his leg? Mr. Huo was also performing emergency treatment just now, so he probably didn't have time to sign, right?"

The nurse, busy with her work, briefly raised her head and explained, "His other son came to sign in a wheelchair."

Another son is in a wheelchair.

Combining these two keywords, Liu Anzhi suddenly imagined Huo Chengji. His heart, which had been calmed by his own conviction, was instantly overwhelmed. He leaned over the front desk and asked repeatedly, "Are you sure? Isn't his wheelchair-bound son unconscious?"

The nurse frowned, clearly puzzled by his reaction. "What's so certain about this? His son woke up last night."

Liu Anzhi opened his mouth, unsure what to say, and could only turn back to Huo Wenbin's ward in a daze. But after taking two steps, a hand rested on his shoulder. Liu Anzhi was startled, and his body began to tremble. When he turned around and saw that the person holding his shoulder was Zhao Hanhai, his expression froze completely.

Zhao Hanhai stroked his sparse hair and grinned, "Hey, Director Liu seems to be quite free all day long. Why is he not at the office during working hours and coming to the hospital's inpatient department?"

"I..." Liu Anzhi's face turned pale with guilt.

Of course, he didn't dare tell Zhao Hanhai the truth and tell him he was visiting Huo Wenbin. If Huo Chengji had been unconscious before, he might have even been able to taunt Zhao Hanhai. But now... Huo Chengji was awake. He knew Mr. Huo's tactics well. If he knew he had defected to Huo Wenbin while he was unconscious, he would have killed him!

As his eyes rolled, a crazy idea popped up in Liu Anzhi's mind.

The account he used to contact Sang Qiqi was unverified, so Sang Qiqi definitely didn't know who was asking her to slander Huo Chengji. His subsequent contact with Huo Wenbin was also kept secret from Zhao Hanhai, who at most knew that he was acting hypocritically while promoting the trending search. This was easy to fix; he could just make an excuse and say that Huo Wenbin or Huo Gan had forced him to do so...

Thinking of this, Liu Anzhi immediately smiled: "No, I just heard that Mr. Huo seemed to have woken up, so I wanted to come and see him."

Zhao Hanhai seemed to not understand his probing and praised him with a smile, "Then you are quite well-informed. Mr. Huo is indeed awake. Oh, and Mr. Huo originally wanted to ask you for something."

When Liu Anzhi heard this, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Go ahead."

"I see there's a lot of concern online about whether the second young master can behave humanely after the car accident. Ask the company to issue a statement explaining this."

"Yeah, okay." Liu Anzhi agreed, but deep down he felt strange. Huo Wenbin and the others had been messing around for so long, and Zhao Hanhai still didn't know about Huo Wenbin and Huo Gan's evil intentions? That's a little off-base, isn't it? And weren't there a lot of rumors online about Huo Wenbin wanting to fight for the family fortune? Could it be that Mr. Huo was so convinced that the brother he raised wouldn't do something like that?

Thinking of this, Liu Anzhi felt more and more that there was still room for maneuver in his betrayal of Huo Chengji. The smile on his face became more genuine at this moment, and he said quickly: "Don't worry, I will definitely see to it. I will contact the person right away."

Liu Anzhi took a step and was about to leave.

But the next second, Zhao Hanhai's voice, full of meaning, slowly rang out from behind him: "I haven't even told you the contents of the statement yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Liu Anzhi nodded and bowed: "Don't bother with this, I know everything."

Zhao Hanhai looked at him and laughed, "It's better to put in some effort. Listen, let the company tell the public the truth. Tell them that the second young master Huo suffered severe damage to his lower body due to the serious collision. He can't have sex or have children. He has to say goodbye to his position as the chairman of Pingxi Group in this life."

Liu Anzhi's mind went blank.

Zhao Hanhai didn't plan to say much. When he walked past him, he patted his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Do a good job. President Huo will remember your efforts."

-

"Are you back?"

When Zhao Hanhai opened the door, Sang Qiqi, Mingxin and Huo Chengji were playing Landlord.

Huo Chengji, the domineering boss, was quite good at playing cards, but he was no match for Sang Qiqi and Mingxin, both of whom were experts at cheating. By the time Huo Chengji realized what was happening, he had already lost so badly that he couldn't even keep a straight face anymore.

Seeing Zhao Hanhai enter the room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. While talking to Zhao Hanhai, he stuffed the cards in his hand into Zhao Hanhai's arms and asked calmly, "Have you seen Liu Anzhi?"

Zhao Hanhai looked at the cards, then at his own CEO, and nodded: "He's asking the nurse at the front desk about Huo Gan's condition."

"I guess Huo Wenbin realized that their bad luck wasn't normal." Sang Qiqi took a moment to analyze. "Huo Gan is still in the operating room. I wonder if Huo Wenbin knows about the Taoist priest's existence."

"I don't think we know. We've investigated Huo Wenbin's whereabouts and haven't seen him have any contact with any Taoist priests."

"That still has to wait until Huo Gan comes out of the operating room."

But it won’t take long, just one or two hours at most.

Zhao Hanhai took over Huo Chengji's position and proactively shuffled and dealt the cards, but he was clearly harboring something, and his dealings were a complete mess. After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Huo, just revealing your awakening like that and using the company's official Weibo account to provoke Huo Wenbin...isn't that telling him you already know his evil intentions? Don't we still need to use Huo Gan and his son to find evidence that Huo Gan murdered Ms. Xia Yan?"

Huo Chengji looked at Sang Qiqi.

Sang Qiqi looked up and blinked. "I think it's too troublesome to just keep an eye on Huo Gan. There's no need for that. If we just bring him over and give him a good beating, he'll definitely tell us everything."

Zhao Hanhai hesitated: "But hitting people is illegal."

Sang Qiqi: "It's okay, beating ghosts isn't illegal."
