Chapter 287 Fourth Aunt, Your Buddhist Practices Were Wasted

Fourth Aunt's expression changed several times before she finally regained her composure.

She even smiled.

"Lanxin, you must be joking."

"How could I, a woman who practices vegetarianism and chants Buddhist prayers, possibly do such a thing?"

Fang Lanxin sneered, “It’s a joke.”

"Then let's take a good look at this joke in front of everyone."

She snapped her fingers.

Huo Siya immediately stepped forward, placed her laptop on the table, and connected it to the projector in the ancestral hall.

On the screen, a dense array of transaction records began to scroll.

"These are all the transaction records for Uncle Si's account over the past three years."

Fang Lanxin pointed at the screen.

“Every month, a sum of money ranging from five to ten million is transferred into this Swiss bank account.”

"Over the three years, the total is 2.3 billion."

Everyone in the ancestral hall gasped.

2.3 billion!

This is no small amount.

"But Fourth Uncle himself was unaware of these transfers."

Fang Lanxin then pulled up another document.

"Because his account had been tampered with three years ago."

"All the transfer records have been hidden using technical means."

“Every time my fourth uncle checked his account balance, he saw normal numbers.”

"He had no idea that money was being transferred out of his account every month."

Old Master Huo suddenly stood up.

"How is this possible!"

"Grandpa, this is not just a possibility, it's a fact."

Kenneth Fok stepped forward.

“I checked, and Uncle Si’s account password was changed three years ago.”

"And the IP address that changed the password was located at the Huo family's old residence."

"More precisely, in the courtyard of the fourth house."

Fourth Aunt's hand trembled slightly.

The prayer beads slipped from his hand and scattered on the ground.

"And this too."

Huo Siya pulled up another document.

"This is the account opening information for that anonymous account at the Swiss bank."

"Although it was an anonymous account, fingerprints and signatures were left when the account was opened."

"I had someone do an appraisal."

Two fingerprint comparison images appeared on the screen.

"The one on the left is the fingerprint that Fourth Aunt left in the Huo family's file."

"The one on the right is the fingerprint left when opening a Swiss bank account."

"Overlap rate: 99.9%"

The ancestral hall was completely silent.

Everyone was staring at Fourth Aunt.

Aunt Si lowered her head, looking as if she had suddenly aged ten years.

"Fourth Aunt, is there anything else you want to say?"

Fang Lanxin walked up to her.

Fourth Aunt raised her head, and the gentleness on her face completely disappeared.

Instead, a near-mad resentment and malice emerged.

"say what"

She suddenly laughed.

What do you want to hear me say?

"Say I was wrong, say I've let the Huo family down."

"Why should I!"

She suddenly stood up.

"I have been married into the Huo family for twenty-five years, and I have served the Huo family members, young and old, diligently and conscientiously!"

"I practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures, and I never compete with others!"

"But what did the Huo family give me?"

“My husband, Huo Zhenhong, was a complete coward his whole life; he couldn’t even become a branch manager!”

"My son, Huo Wenxuan, is clearly more outstanding than Huo Qibang, yet he can only work as his assistant!"

"Why should I!"

"Just because we are the fourth wife"

"Just because we're not part of the inner circle"

Everyone in the ancestral hall was stunned.

No one expected that this usually gentle and kind fourth aunt would say such a thing.

"So you're going to destroy the Huo family?"

Old Master Huo's voice trembled.

"I did not intend to destroy the Huo family."

Fourth Aunt sneered.

"I just want to take back what belongs to us."

"With such a large fortune in the Huo family, why should it all go to the eldest son's branch of the family?"

"I will use the Huo family's money to invest overseas, and I will pay it back once I make a profit."

"As for this hunt..."

She looked at Fang Lanxin.

"That's because your eldest son's family is incompetent; you can't blame anyone else."

“If you hadn’t suddenly become so capable, the Huo family would have been ours long ago.”

Fang Lanxin stared at her.

"You were the one who did the 'adding joy' thing."

Fourth Aunt's expression changed slightly.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

“You know.”

Fang Lanxin's voice was cold.

"Qibang, release the surveillance footage."

Kenneth Fok nodded and began operating the computer.

A surveillance video appeared on the screen.

That was the kitchen of the Huo family's old house.

The timeline shows that it was the afternoon of the day Tianle had the accident.

In the scene, Aunt Si carries a bowl of soup into the kitchen.

She looked around to make sure no one was there, then took a small bottle out of her pocket.

She poured the powder from the bottle into the soup.

Then she stirred it well, took the soup, and went outside.

The ancestral hall was in an uproar.

"Oh my god!"

"She really poisoned it!"

"That wicked woman!"

Kenneth Fok's fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

He rushed forward and grabbed his fourth aunt by the neck.

"It was you! You killed Tianle!"

I'm going to kill you!

"Qibang!"

Fang Lanxin called out.

Kenneth Fok loosened his grip, his whole body trembling.

Fourth Aunt collapsed to the ground, laughing wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Yes! It's me!"

"I put the poison in the soup!"

"But it's not poison!"

"It's just medicine to give him diarrhea!"

"Who knew that little bastard had such a weak constitution? He died after just a few bouts of diarrhea!"

"Smack!"

Fang Lanxin slapped her fourth aunt across the face.

That slap was delivered with full force.

Blood immediately seeped from the corner of Aunt Si's mouth.

"Shut up."

Fang Lanxin's voice sounded like it was coming from an ice cellar.

"Tianle is only three years old."

He calls you Fourth Aunt.

Is this how you treat him?

Fourth Aunt wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"What about him? How have you treated my son?"

“My son, Fok Man-hin, has been smarter than Fok Kai-pong since he was a child.”

"But what about you?"

"All the good resources are given to Kenneth Fok, and my son can only pick up what you leave behind."

"I was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine."

"That medicine was originally intended for Kenneth Fok."

"Who knew that Huo Qibang wouldn't be there that day, but that kid Tianle would be."

"He's just unlucky."

Everyone in the ancestral hall was terrified by Fourth Aunt's madness.

Old Master Huo clutched his chest, nearly fainting.

"Someone come here!"

"Old Master Huo shouted, trembling."

Lock her up!

"Call the police! Get the police to arrest her!"

Several bodyguards rushed in and pinned Aunt Si down.

Fourth Aunt was still laughing wildly.

"Call the police, hahaha! Do you have any evidence?"

"That bowl of soup is long gone!"

"What proof do you have that I drugged you?"

"The surveillance footage only proves that I put something in the soup, it doesn't prove that it was poison!"

"Besides, the child's body was cremated, so you couldn't even conduct an autopsy!"

You can't sue me!

Fang Lanxin walked up to her fourth aunt and squatted down.

"You're right, that bowl of soup is indeed gone."

"Tianle's body was also cremated."

"But you forgot one thing."

Aunt Si's smile froze.

"What's up"

"You used your right hand when you put the medicine into the soup."
