Just like the information they had gathered, he didn't know what else to use to describe Huo Yingqi besides stupid.
The Huo family members are all quite intelligent, so why did things go wrong with Huo Yingqi?
"If that's really the case, no wonder Father always said the family was unfortunate." Huo Zhekun sneered. The Huo family's calamity was all because of Huo Yingqi, or the eldest branch of the Huo family.
It was their repeated compromises that led Huo Yingqi further and further down a foolish path.
She was stupid enough, but she also dragged others down with her, and the entire Huo family.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjun felt even more guilty, knowing he would never have a sister like that again!
"Brother, don't cry, it's no use crying," Huo Yingjie said. "Zhou Yuanyuan is just a prelude; there will definitely be other people or families behind her."
Huo Yingjun rubbed his face. Yes, crying now would be useless.
At least the second uncle and second brother are still outside and can make connections, so the Huo family may still have a chance to turn things around.
“Some intelligence I have indicates that Zhou Yuanyuan has connections with the Zheng family,” Huo Yingjun said. “I suspect that the Zheng family was behind this, along with the Feng family, the Zheng family, and other people who are at odds with the Huo family.”
"Okay!" Huo Yingjie nodded. "Big brother, take care of yourself in there. Dad and I will get you out as soon as possible."
The Zheng family is the mortal enemy of the Huo family. The Huo family has risen too fast and has become unmatched by the Zheng family, so they came up with this ruthless plan to undermine the Huo family's power.
"Now we only have you guys to rely on," Huo Yingjun said, then wrote a few special symbols on the table, instructing them to use the informants he had.
Every member of the Huo family must have a secret agent.
Some were arranged by the Huo family, while others developed on their own.
Since Huo Yingjun cannot leave now, those undercover agents are also unable to play their role. They can only be handed over in the hope that those people can lend a helping hand to his second uncle and second brother and clear the Huo family's name as soon as possible.
“Don’t worry, big brother,” Huo Yingjie said. “If the higher-ups really wanted us to fall, my father, mother, and I would probably have been taken into custody as soon as we arrived in Beijing. But they didn’t. This means that the higher-ups are waiting for the Huo family to come up with a plausible reason and evidence.”
Huo Zhekun and Huo Yingjun listened and thought about it carefully, and realized that it was indeed true!
My grandfather and grandmother, both veteran revolutionaries, were imprisoned, but my second uncle's family came to Yanjing and were neither arrested nor restricted in their freedom. This was also a signal released by the higher authorities.
Those letters did indeed match my grandfather's handwriting, but throughout history, there have been countless cases of imitating handwriting and forging imperial edicts. We cannot convict an old revolutionary, especially a family like the Huos, based on these letters alone.
Three generations of this family have made tremendous contributions to the country; they cannot be so easily convicted.
Hearing Huo Yingjie's words, Huo Yingjun's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Second brother, you're right. This time, we're counting on you."
"Yes!" Huo Yingjie nodded. "You must take good care of yourself."
To live freely, the Huo family needs power.
Huo Yingjie is not interested in power, but he wants to spend his life with He Tiantian, which will require him to face all sorts of difficulties.
Therefore, he needs to solve these difficulties.
Although he could kill those people silently, he couldn't keep killing people!
That's not good! Sweetie doesn't like it!
Since that's the case, he needs to cultivate a proxy, and Huo Yingjun is the best candidate.
"Yes, I will," Huo Yingjun said. "I'm a grown man, it doesn't matter, I'm in good health. Second Uncle, Second Brother, Huanhuan is pregnant, but she's not even three months along yet, so it's not stable. I'm worried about her..."
Huo Zhekun and Huo Yingjie looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.
This is the fourth generation of the Huo family, and he had already been to a detention center before he was even born.
"Yingjun, don't worry, your second aunt has already gone to see Huanhuan. Later, I'll have your second aunt go back and prepare some warm clothes and some food for Huanhuan," Huo Zhekun comforted Huo Yingjun, putting his mind at ease.
While the three uncles and nephews were talking, Jiang Lifang also saw Zhao Huanhuan.
Aside from being a little pale and thin, Zhao Huanhuan was in good spirits.
"Second Aunt, when did you come to Yanjing?" Zhao Huanhuan was very excited when she saw her second aunt, and her eyes reddened.
Since the incident, apart from her younger brother and parents secretly visiting her and bringing her some things, no one else from her maternal family, the Zhao family, has come to see her.
“We arrived yesterday. The Huo family’s old house has been sealed off, and we don’t know where my parents-in-law are being held. It was quite a struggle for us to find out where we are,” Jiang Lifang said, making Zhao Huanhuan understand the situation outside.
Hearing this, Zhao Huanhuan felt even more upset. Suddenly, she felt nauseous and quickly covered her mouth.
"Huanhuan, your second uncle and Yingjie are here. They've already started trying to find a solution, so don't worry," Jiang Lifang comforted her. After all, the Huo family had dragged Zhao Huanhuan down with them.
Zhao Huanhuan suppressed the urge to vomit and felt a little better before apologizing, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I made you worry."
"Are you pregnant?" Jiang Lifang, being a doctor, naturally thought of pregnancy upon seeing this state.
Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "It's been more than two months, but not yet three months."
"Stretch out your hand, let me take your pulse," Jiang Lifang said. Although she was not an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, she had learned some pulse-taking techniques.
Zhao Huanhuan stretched out her hand, asking Jiang Lifang to take a look.
Although she is a doctor, she cannot heal herself, and she cannot accurately know the situation herself.
Jiang Lifang took Huanhuan's pulse, nodded, and smiled, "She's a strong child! Huanhuan, the most important thing for you right now is to take care of yourself. We three are here to help you out there. I believe we can bring you back soon."
Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "I understand, Second Aunt."
Her parents also came over and secretly told her that even if the Huo family really had some problems, they wouldn't make things difficult for a pregnant woman like her. After all, she was just a doctor and hadn't been married into the Huo family for very long. It would be easy for her to get out of there; she just needed to divorce Huo Yingjun.
But Zhao Huanhuan didn't want to do that. She loved Huo Yingjun and was willing to share joys and sorrows with him.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare some warm clothes for you, and see if I can find someone to take care of your food," Jiang Lifang said. She couldn't help with anything else, so she could only do her best to take care of Zhao Huanhuan.
"Second Aunt, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Actually, no one is making things difficult for me here. I have my own room, and I eat three hot meals a day, which are all enough to fill me up," Zhao Huanhuan said. Instead of overthinking, she decided to calm down and focus on protecting the baby in her womb.
Zhao Huanhuan didn't want this child to disappear from the world before even being born.
