I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
"No...no, Grandpa..."
Huo Zhiyan's already pale face turned even paler.
He looked at Jiang Can, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Can sneered, "Big brother, what you just said couldn't be clearer. Grandpa heard it with his own ears. Now you're denying it? Are you trying to say that Grandpa's ears are playing tricks on him and he can't even understand what you're saying?"
“Or…” Jiang Can raised an eyebrow and retorted with the same look, “or is it that what you’re saying isn’t human language at all, so others can’t understand it?”
"You little bitch!"
With a fierce and menacing expression, Huo Zhiyan lunged at Jiang Can, fists clenched.
Huo Wenyuan coughed heavily, and the bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward and held Huo Zhiyan down!
"You still want to act wildly in front of me?"
Although the old man was in his seventies, his powerful aura made everyone afraid to act recklessly in his presence.
Huo Zhiyan dared not utter another word.
He couldn't speak at that moment; his hands were handcuffed behind his back by the bodyguard, and he was wincing in pain.
"Take them back to the old house!" Huo Wenyuan said coldly. "And call the second son over too. I want to personally interrogate these two bastards!"
The bodyguards responded in unison and escorted Huo Zhiyan out of the Yufeng Media building in a grand manner.
Jiang Can followed behind and secretly sent a message to Huo Zhixing.
After sending the message, she held her phone and gently curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
What the Huo family patriarch cares about most is the Huo family's reputation.
Now that Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan have committed crimes right under his nose, and they are targeting his heir, this is extremely embarrassing for both him and the Huo family!
Therefore, Huo Wenyuan will absolutely not let this father and son off this time.
...
Soon the bodyguards took Huo Zhiyan to the study in the old house.
Huo Zhanhe had already received the news and was waiting anxiously at the door.
Seeing the old man walking briskly towards them from afar, he first forced a fawning smile to greet him. But when he met Huo Wenyuan's sharp gaze, he put on a mournful face, his whole demeanor screaming innocence.
After entering the study, Huo Wenyuan sat on the sofa, the expensive golden nanmu wood complementing his powerful aura.
"Can Can," he gestured with his eyes, "you sit down too."
Jiang Can sat down on the sofa next to him.
Looking at it this way, Huo Zhiyan seems more like a prisoner.
Huo Zhanhe couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Huo Wenyuan and then at Jiang Can, and the anger he had been holding back surged up inside him.
Why should she? It's one thing for the old man to sit there, but does Jiang Can, a junior, have the right to act like a big shot in front of him?
However, Huo Zhanhe held back, after all, given Jiang Can's current status, he dared not provoke her.
After all, getting himself and Huo Zhiyan out of trouble is the most important thing right now.
"Dad..." he hurriedly tried to explain, "Dad, you know me. I've always loved Zhixing dearly! And I treat all the Huo family's children as my own..."
"Oh, really?"
Huo Wenyuan sneered, his gaze no longer showing any fatherly affection.
Even if a lie is told a thousand times, it is still a lie and can never become the truth.
Huo Zhanhe broke out in a cold sweat and kept rolling his eyes.
"dad!"
"I trusted you too much before, and that's why I almost made a big mistake!"
Huo Wenyuan slammed his cane against the ground.
He used to think that even if Huo Zhanhe was not very capable, not very smart, and sometimes had some minor issues with his conduct, these were all minor problems.
As long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, that's fine.
Besides, Huo Zhanhe was the most eloquent of the children, and he often made Huo Zhanhe very happy, so Huo Zhanhe turned a blind eye to some of the things Huo Zhanhe did.
Even when Huo Zhixing repeatedly told him that Huo Zhanhe had problems, he still thought that this grandson was being unreasonable and advised him that he and his second uncle were family and there should be no estrangement between them.
He now deeply regrets it!
He glared angrily at Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan, "This isn't the first time you've done these despicable things! Last time, Jiang Mingyuan broke into Zhixing's house to steal Chairman Yin's prescription, and I haven't settled that score with you yet!"
"Dad, listen to me!" Huo Zhanhe almost knelt down, stammering, "Zhiyan was just confused for a moment, he was used! And...and that plane crash five years ago, I...I didn't do anything! It has nothing to do with me!"
Jiang Can smiled slightly and took out a voice recorder from her pocket.
Soon, every word Huo Zhiyan said was relayed.
Huo Zhanhe's expression changed instantly. He glared at Huo Zhiyan, gritted his teeth, and slapped him hard across the face!
"Are you fucking asking for it?! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Second Uncle, don't get agitated." Jiang Can chuckled, looking at him and saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Big Brother was just telling the truth."
"you……"
“My father can also testify about how my second uncle framed Zhixing back then!”
"Ha!" Huo Zhanhe remained defiant. "Yin Ruohong is part of your family. Can you really trust what he says? He just listens to whatever you, his daughter, tell him!"
"Second Uncle," Jiang Can took a deep breath, "if you keep denying it like this, I have no other choice... Ha, the repairman you found back then, unfortunately, was the one who used to maintain private jets for the Yin family!"
Huo Zhanhe frowned slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
How could Jiang Can possibly find that person?
He gave that person a sum of money and sent him abroad to hide, and there has been no news of him for the past five years!
Jiang Can looked at him coldly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"It is said that when my second uncle asked him for a favor, he was reluctant to spend any money on him."
Huo Zhanhe narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort.
"Second Uncle, you clearly promised to give them a million as a reward, but in the end you only gave them three hundred thousand and then you couldn't contact them anymore. What happened?"
"Nonsense!" Huo Zhanhe's face turned red.
"I'm not making this up, they came to my door asking for money!" Jiang Can crossed her arms. "Second Uncle, tell me, should I give them the money or not? If word gets out that what you're doing, it'll be a huge disgrace to the Huo family!"
"Bullshit!" Huo Zhanhe spat as he spoke. "Jiang Can, don't think you can fool me by just finding some random guy and saying he's a repairman!"
"Second Uncle, I didn't lie to you. That person really did come to ask me for money..."
"What the hell is he asking you for! I clearly gave him an extra 500,000, making it a total of 1.5 million! Bring him out here, I want to confront him face to face!"
"Dad!" Huo Zhiyan quickly grabbed him. "Are you fucking crazy?!"
Huo Zhanhe's face turned pale as he realized he had let something slip.
But the words couldn't be taken back.
He stood frozen in place like a statue, and it took him a long time before he dared to move his eyelids.
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she met Huo Wenyuan's deep, piercing, and furious gaze...
Huo Zhanhe forced a smile and called out, barely daring to breathe, "Dad..."
