Fu Xiuyu tapped her cane on the ground with a thud, then suddenly raised it and pointed it at the big screen.
"Open your eyes and see for yourselves! When you're doing these heinous things, you don't forget to drag our Fu family into it! Ha, what a friendship that spans generations!"
Indeed, some of the money in those records went to the Fu family. Fortunately, Fu Xiuyu had taken precautions early on, forbidding any money of dubious origin from entering the accounts in any form, thus averting a crisis.
So He Zhengsong's wishful thinking back then was wrong.
He thought he could also keep the Fu family under control...
At this moment, Huo Junyu glanced around and saw several plainclothes police officers preparing to take action.
He Zhengsong continued to put on an act in front of Fu Xiuyu, this time with a different face: "Aunt Fu... I didn't want to do this either, but several projects invested by the He family have failed, and the amount of money involved is too large. We are short of funds for the time being, so we borrowed from the charity fund!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Fu Xiuyu's arm, almost kneeling in front of her.
Fu Xiuyu glanced at him with disgust. "Save those words for the police!"
"Aunt Fu!"
“I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, I’ve also submitted evidence to the UK! This isn’t the only thing your Ho family has done.”
Fu Xiuyu looked at him coldly, "You use charity as a guise to amass wealth, and then use that money to lend at exorbitant interest rates, causing countless families to be ruined and destroyed? Didn't you have nightmares when you squandered this money?!"
He Sirui also stepped forward and grabbed her, pleading with tears in her eyes.
He Zhengsong paused, his heart pounding, but he remained calm. He saw He Sirui grab Fu Xiuyu's hand, and at that moment, Fu Xiuyu was trying to shake them off...
He gritted his teeth, and in an instant, he smashed the wine glass, picked up the shards of glass, and held them straight to Fu Xiuyu's throat!
"Ah!" People around screamed in alarm.
However, the only people closest to Fu Xiuyu were He Zhengsong and He Sirui!
Fu Xiuyu was also stunned for a moment, her body stiffened, and before she could react, He Zhengsong grabbed her by the neck with his hand, and the piece of broken glass was pressed right against the carotid artery in her neck!
"Don't come any closer!" He Zhengsong's eyes flashed with ferocity. "Anyone who dares to take a step forward, I'll kill her right now!"
"He Zhengsong!" Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can rushed over, keeping a distance from him, not daring to make any rash moves.
Fu Xiuyu was getting on in years, and when He Zhengsong dragged her like that, she twisted her waist and was sweating profusely from the pain.
But the tenacity in her eyes remained like a spark that would never be extinguished.
"He Zhengsong... I'm old enough to die here today, but it'll be a worthy death... Heh, but you and your precious daughter won't escape!"
"President Fu," He Zhengsong smiled sinisterly, "if you die by my hand, that won't be a worthy death! We'll both perish together! So you'll have to ask your children and grandchildren if they're willing!"
"He Zhengsong, let go of my grandma!" Huo Junyang tried to rush forward, but Huo Junyu desperately stopped him.
The crowd had already dispersed, leaving only a few plainclothes police officers who were cautiously surrounding the area.
A drop of sweat rolled down He Zhengsong's face.
"Huo Zhixing," he gritted his teeth, "if the police dare to arrest me, I'll make sure your mother dies right in front of you... Ha, I'd like to see if the police are faster or I'm faster!"
At this moment, He Zhengsong gave He Sirui a wink.
He Sirui was a little flustered, but she still did as she was told, lifting up his clothes and taking out the pistol he had tucked into his waistband!
Fu Xiuyu's neck was cut open and blood was seeping out. Then He Zhengsong took the gun from He Sirui and pressed it against Fu Xiuyu's temple.
This was his original plan, which he had carried out ahead of schedule...
Once the scandal is exposed, he will try every means to kidnap Fu Xiuyu or someone from the Huo family, in order to prepare for his own escape!
"Huo Zhixing!" He Zhengsong raised his chin. "Tell your men to step back!"
Huo Zhixing gritted his teeth, his fists trembling slightly.
Despite having made prior arrangements, he still did not expect that He Zhengsong would actually bring a gun into the venue.
To his surprise, his gun passed through security!
Jiang Can secretly grasped his hand and looked at him. At this moment, she suddenly realized that there must be a mole in the Huo family who colluded with He Zhengsong to allow him to bring the gun in so easily!
As for who the mole is, they don't have time to worry about that right now.
Huo Zhixing gasped, and with difficulty raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to step back.
"Not bad!" He Zhengsong sneered, dragging Fu Xiuyu step by step toward the door.
“Mr. He,” Jiang Can stepped forward and said calmly, “If things get out of hand, it will be a lose-lose situation… Please feel free to name your conditions, and we will certainly meet them.”
"Don't forget, you still have a daughter." Jiang Can glanced at He Sirui. "We are both parents. No matter what, we must leave a way out for our children, right?"
Jiang Can has a keen eye and noticed He Sirui's fear.
After all, she was a pampered young lady who had never experienced anything like this before. At this moment, besides following her father and making one mistake after another, she probably didn't know what else to do.
“Sirui,” Jiang Can said softly, “Do you remember the cookies Aunt Jiang baked for you when you came to Aunt Jiang’s house when you were little? You said that you lost your mother at a young age and didn’t receive much maternal love. These cookies taste like your mother…”
"If you'd like, Auntie can make you something else, okay?"
He Sirui was already sobbing uncontrollably, trembling all over, and looked helplessly at her father.
But He Zhengsong angrily told her not to cry, and he didn't buy into Jiang Can's act at all!
Just as Jiang Can was saying these words to him, the police had already dispatched additional officers to the scene.
Jiang Can turned around and looked at Huo Zhixing. Only their gazes could support each other through this difficult time.
“Mr. He, I am here to discuss this matter with you with 100% sincerity. Please feel free to name your conditions, and I will definitely help you achieve them.”
"The He family has a funding gap of 20 billion. Can you handle it?"
Jiang Can's eyes lit up.
The fact that money was mentioned indicates that things are taking a turn for the better.
She chuckled lightly, about to nod in agreement, when He Zhengsong spoke coldly again: "I meant the Euro!"
“No problem.” Jiang Can said calmly.
"Ha, don't try to fool me!" He Zhengsong said sternly, "Two hundred billion euros, how could you possibly transfer it to my account immediately? You need to sell assets, dump stocks, cash out... all of that takes time!"
“Since you know it will take time, let’s sit down and talk it over.” Jiang Can looked at him. “Mr. He, as long as you release my mother, I will agree to any condition!”
"Mrs. Huo, there's no such rule, is there?" He Zhengsong sneered. "Unless it's a cash-on-delivery transaction, don't blame me for killing this old woman!"
