67 067 Huo Xiao was arrested
◎Inquiry. ◎
When Ren Lu saw this Weibo post, she was shocked.
The novels she knew did not mention this. Could it be that Huo Xiao was really responsible for Lu Sinian's death?
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, she immediately denied it and couldn't help shaking her head to listen to see if there was any water inside.
Ren Lu smiled bitterly. She was also confused. Lu Sinian was alive and well now.
So she couldn't believe all the plot of the novel in her mind. In fact, she still didn't understand what happened to Lu Sinian's death, and what condition he was in now.
After all, she was only focused on kissing at that time and couldn't think of anything else. She didn't even dare to open her eyes, let alone look at him, so she didn't even know what the man looked like now, whether he had gained weight or lost weight.
But one day she was certain that he must be in very good health, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kiss for so long. It was like he had iron lungs, kissing for so long without even taking a breath. It would be a pity if he didn't become an athlete.
When public opinion on the Internet was in an uproar, Huo Xiao was called back by Mr. Huo, who scolded him harshly and issued an ultimatum.
"You stay at home these few days and are not allowed to go anywhere. Stop contacting those bad friends of yours, and cut off all your girlfriends. What you need to do now is to keep a low profile. It's best to be like that dead man Lu Sinian, who scolds you until you are cuckolded, and you are not allowed to say a word."
I have to say that the Huo family is really mean, and Old Master Huo is well aware of the feud between his son and Lu Sinian, so he never forgets to drag Lu Sinian out and step on him at times like this.
If Ren Lu heard these words, she would definitely feel emotional in her heart.
Lu Sinian really deserves to be called a super victim. He is nominally a dead man, but he still cannot rest in peace.
"Dad, it's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just those people on the Internet talking nonsense. They always exaggerate. When they saw you go to the hospital today, they spread rumors that my brother and I were waiting to divide the inheritance. Have you seen these things before?" Huo Xiao didn't care. He even felt that the old man was making a fuss and deliberately used the rumors about his grandfather to provoke him.
After all, the old man is old, and everyone loves to see the drama of rich brothers fighting each other, so every now and then there are people who gossip that the old man is seriously ill and hospitalized, and is on his deathbed. Some even directly spread rumors that he is dead.
The story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" happened several times, and in the end even netizens didn't believe it anymore.
When Mr. Huo heard this, he immediately picked up his cane to hit him. Huo Xiao saw it but did not hide. Instead, he stood there with his neck stiff, not afraid at all, and even seemed to hope that he would hit him down.
Finally, Mr. Huo retracted his strength, placed the cane on his shoulder, and poked him twice.
"You bastard, you never believe what I say. You think they are a mob, but you don't know that the power of public opinion is very strong nowadays, and it can easily become a force to be reckoned with. By that time, it will be like a mountain collapsing, and you will be powerless to save the situation."
Huo Xiao sneered and said in a tone that was almost sarcastic: "Why should I believe what you say? Haven't you lied to me enough? You said you would come to pick me and mom up soon, but you made us wait for several years. Anyone who believes what you say is a fool."
Mr. Huo was choked by his words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The room fell into deathly silence. He sighed and his tone slowed down a lot.
"Why have you been confronting Lu Sinian's woman online recently? She is just a helpless widow. Apart from her appearance, what else is there for you to pay attention to?"
"I just like her appearance, so what? You like my mom, isn't it because of her appearance? Is it because of her empty brain?" Huo Xiao was obviously aroused with anger, and his words were so sarcastic, which made the old man very angry.
"You're kidding! When did you develop this habit?"
"I--"
Huo Xiao looked up and was about to say something, but the old man interrupted him directly, not wanting to hear any more nonsense from his mouth.
"I noticed that you became more arrogant after Lu Sinian's death. What? Do you think that now that the person who was suppressing you is dead, you can finally hold your head high? Just stay at home these few days. I warn you, this is not a joke." After saying these words, the old man stood up and left. It was obvious that he didn't want to communicate with this rebellious son anymore.
Both father and son knew each other's pain points very well, so the old man's words made Huo Xiao even angrier, and he began to breathe heavily.
"I won't! I don't just pick up girls and drink. I have a lot of work to do. There are so many meetings to attend and countless projects to build. If you lock me up at home, who will I turn to if the project loses money?"
Huo Xiao immediately retorted, stood up and rushed out, but there were bodyguards everywhere outside. Even though he had practiced martial arts, he was no match for the strong and was unable to break free. Instead, he was forced back to the room.
"Old man, I'm telling you the truth. I snatched several big projects from Lu Sinian. Many people are waiting to see me make a fool of myself, saying that only he can handle these projects. If they fall into my hands, they will lose money. I can't be absent. I must do a good job and slap those people in the face to prove that I am the boss of the younger generation in the business world!"
Huo Xiao was obviously really anxious, and he couldn't even help but reveal his past, hoping to impress Mr. Huo with some sincere words.
Mr. Huo turned around, stared at him solemnly, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"If it's so important, why don't you devote yourself to it? You even have time to watch the fun? If you are really like what you said, working on the project seriously, why would you get involved in these rubbish? You wouldn't be involved with the widow, letting netizens notice you, and letting that so-called reporter expose you..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Xiao got defensive again and interrupted him directly in an excited tone: "I hate it the most when you say that. It's been like this since I was a child. You say that my poor grades mean that I didn't study hard enough and had time to watch TV. I'm not a study machine. Can't I just relax for a few minutes? I worked hard on the project, and it didn't stop me from watching the fun!"
"The fact is, the world will go on without you, and you are not as important as you think. Just stay at home honestly." Old man Huo Huo said coldly, not taking his professional level seriously at all.
Huo Xiao was locked at home for seven days, keeping an eye on the online public opinion. Fortunately, everyone was asking him to give an explanation at the beginning, but as time passed, new things happened every day, so soon there was almost no heat.
As soon as he saw that public opinion had calmed down, he immediately ran away from home. After a week of silence, he could no longer hold it in, so he immediately called his friends to go to the bar.
This was almost a habit. Although Huo Shao had traveled all over the country over the years and had long felt that these activities were boring and they were all the same in the end, he felt uncomfortable after not playing for a long time.
In his worldview, life is meant to be wasted.
"Master, your father finally let you out. Nothing is fun without you this week!"
"Mr. Huo, come and have a drink. I just prepared the Scorching Flame. Congratulations on regaining your freedom."
A group of people came up, and smelling the smell of alcohol and perfume around him, he instantly felt at ease. It turned out that this place was the most suitable for him.
"Hey, is this the new little beauty?" Huo Xiao glanced at the crowd and selected his target.
The young woman was immediately pushed to the front. Huo Xiao raised his hand and put his arm around her waist, and started to persuade her to drink, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
"Drink this cup."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I can't drink. I'm allergic to alcohol." The little girl was obviously here for the first time, and she was very reserved. When he hugged her, she didn't dare to lean into his arms, but instead she hesitated.
"Allergic to alcohol? Can't you find another excuse? Nine out of ten people who refuse say so because they are allergic to alcohol. I know, it's because I didn't mean it right, right?"
Huo Xiao sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. He winked at the person next to him, and immediately one of his men put a stack of cash on the table.
"You are raising fish. This little beauty is here for the first time. Why don't you be more generous? Otherwise, if others tell others, I will lose face as a young master."
The man put another stack up, Huo Xiao pushed him away and took out four stacks from his pocket himself, which together totaled 60,000.
"Six good omens, is that enough to buy you a drink?" He turned to look at the girl next to him, and seeing that she looked like she was about to run away, he deliberately hugged her hard and she leaned completely into his arms.
Seeing the little girl shivering with fear, Huo Xiao laughed and blew air on her face.
The people beside him also started to make a noise, urging him to drink, “Drink, drink, drink!”
Originally, the girl was determined not to drink, but under the loud urging of this group of people, she was suddenly suppressed.
Everyone was looking at her with all kinds of expressions on their faces, including probing scrutiny, gloating smiles, and pure fun. She became the center of attention, and at the same time, personal thoughts seemed to drift away from her.
Because at this time, personal thoughts are no longer important, but so many people are forcing her to do it.
"I, I don't--" Her face was pale and she shook her head hesitantly.
But before she could finish her words, Huo Xiao's face darkened and he grabbed two more stacks of bills and stuffed them into her arms.
"Not enough? Everyone is waiting for you, don't spoil the fun!"
He leaned close to the girl's ear and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. To outsiders, it seemed that he was saying sweet words, but in fact his tone was chilling and threatening.
The young girl had no choice but to raise the glass with trembling hands and bring it to her lips.
She really couldn't drink. After taking the first sip, she was choked by the strong smell of alcohol and coughed.
But the man next to her had no sympathy for her and even disliked her affectation. He forcefully pushed the wine glass in her hand to her lips and forced her to continue drinking.
The booing around became louder. The girl was half-forced to drink a glass of wine. The moment she finished drinking it, she started coughing non-stop and tears instantly streamed down her face. Obviously, these were physiological tears.
"Woohoo! It's all over!"
"It's so painful to drink, but it's obviously delicious. People who don't know how delicious wine is are really tasteless!"
The group of bad friends around him were disgusted and kept making sarcastic remarks.
Huo Xiao immediately let go of her hand, and the young girl sat down on the ground instantly, her legs looking weak.
He pushed the money and threw it all into her arms.
"If you are sick, go to the hospital. Don't die here."
He said this coldly, turned around and threw himself into the arms of other girls, ignoring her, as if the past few minutes were just a distraction for him.
The fun in the box was completely in full swing, but the girl was still sitting there, crying silently.
Occasionally, a few people would pass by and think she was in the way and chase her away.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and before anyone could react, two plainclothes officers walked in.
The noisy music was turned off and Huo Xiao was taken away for investigation.
As soon as Mr. Huo left, the box suddenly became dead silent and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Some people were just having fun and didn't understand the situation yet, so they asked in a daze.
"Who were those two people just now? Why did they ask Mr. Huo to follow them, and Mr. Huo left?"
"He must be a government official, otherwise do you think Huo Xiao would be so obedient?"
"Why do we need to bring him to investigate? Could it be that what the reporter said online is true? Is Lu Sinian's death really related to Huo Xiao?"
"Fuck, it's possible. After all, they didn't get along well before!"
Everyone was discussing the gossip very much, with expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.
"Stop talking. This kind of thing hasn't been confirmed yet. Who dares to talk nonsense? If it turns out that there is no connection, and these words get to the ears of Mr. Huo, do you think he will get angry?" Someone raised his voice to stop them, with a warning tone.
"That's right. Mr. Huo has a bad temper. We are all smart people here, so don't go out and tell others about what happened today." A few more people echoed, and soon they dispersed.
Only the girl who was forced to drink a glass was left, and no one cared about her.
She collected the money and quietly pulled out a miniature camera from the corner. After checking the video, she confirmed that everything that had just happened was captured on the screen. She couldn't help but smile.
But she was already dizzy at the moment, the alcohol was taking effect, and she didn't lie, she was indeed allergic to alcohol.
Before she could complete her plan, she had to go to the hospital.
[Poor college student Xu Zhiran: Mr. Huo, I have no grudge against you. I am just a waiter in the bar. The manager called me into the private room to create atmosphere. As soon as you came in, you made a move on me and forced me to drink. If I didn't drink, you threw money at me. If I still didn't drink, you threw more. There were noises all around.
I said I was allergic to alcohol, but no one cared. Now I'm in the hospital having my stomach washed.
But evil has its consequences, God has opened his eyes, he has been taken to the police station for investigation. I am waiting to see the day when you completely fall, Mr. H. 】
After the young girl had her gastric lavage and regained some consciousness, she immediately started posting on Weibo and posted a photo of her arm with a red area, which was obviously an allergic symptom.
Originally, this Weibo post did not have many views, but it was suddenly forwarded by a marketing account and immediately began to ferment, attracting the attention of many people.
——Girl, are you okay?
——What I hate most in my life is people forcing others to drink, especially when they are allergic to alcohol!
—— Delete it right now, you drank the wine voluntarily, why are you pretending to be a green tea! Are you crazy about being famous?
——No, girl, you use your real name to surf the Internet? How come this name sounds like your real name?
—— Could Master H be Master Huo? He was arrested? Is it true?
In addition to concerns in the comments, some people also threatened her, obviously afraid of getting into trouble.
Xu Zhiran sneered. Fortunately, there were some stupid people among this group of people, otherwise she would have to find someone to disguise as someone to find fault and act it out herself. Now that someone took the initiative to jump out, it saved her the trouble.
She directly responded to the Weibo post: It’s not up to you to decide whether I am pretending or not.
Xu Zhiran looked at the prepared video, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to publish it with her own account. After all, she wanted to be famous, not to be involved in a real lawsuit.
If she releases the video herself, she's afraid that the Huo family's legal team will kill her.
Finally, she anonymously submitted the video to a big marketing account, and the video quickly went viral on the Internet. It was a strong contrast to how Huo Xiao looked when he first came in, nonchalant and surrounded by everyone, and then as quiet as a chicken with an extremely ugly expression when he was taken away.
In an instant, Huo Xiao dominated the screens of all major platforms again, and Ren Lu was also one of them.
She originally thought that reporters would continue to come out to criticize him, but she never expected that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear in the middle of the process, and she looked like a young girl with no background at all.
She looked through the girl's Weibo and found that this Xu Zhiran was indeed online using her real name and was a college student. However, due to major changes in her family, she was very short of money. She borrowed student loans to pay for her tuition, but it was still not enough for her living expenses.
The money I earned from working part-time is not enough, so I have to work part-time.
In Xu Zhiran's first few Weibo posts, she mentioned that her classmates introduced her to a bar. She was very hesitant. After all, the word "bar" is biased and full of derogatory meanings.
Especially since she is a young female college student, she usually wouldn't think of any legitimate ways to make money in places like bars.
But my classmates said that it was a bar and a high-end bar, and the waitresses were all pretty and elegant. If any customer made a move, the manager would help resolve the issue.
Apparently she finally chose to work in a bar, which led to what happened today.
Ren Lu stared at the three words "Xu Zhiran". The more she looked, the more familiar they seemed. She must have seen them before.
Combined with the little girl's experience, she instantly had some ideas.
This is not a typical miserable heroine character. Although she is in a harsh environment, she is not crushed. She lives tenaciously like a weed. Even if she is deceived and used, she will face the difficulties head-on and eventually turn the difficulties into nutrients and thrive.
She smiled bitterly. No wonder the name seemed familiar. She was indeed the heroine of a novel.
It’s just that Xu Renran is not a miserable heroine, but a scheming heroine.
Her family has indeed undergone tremendous changes, but she is not content with an ordinary working life. She does not want to be a dishwasher or make milk tea. She wants to use everything she can to climb to a high position and return to the life of a rich lady.
In the book, she set a goal for herself to become an Internet celebrity. It is not easy to be a host purely for her looks, so she wanted traffic, so she did all kinds of jobs.
The first successful case was to go to a luxury goods counter, find the salesgirl who looked down on others, and confront her.
After that, he relied on this kind of traffic to gradually become a big internet celebrity.
And now she is luckier than in the book, as she has met Huo Xiao.
