Chapter 548: Learning the Truth
Cheng Zhiyuan is drinking tea.
The movements were elegant and natural, with a hint of coolness.
With the girl pressing his shoulders, he did not turn his head obediently, nor did he scold her to take his dirty hands away.
From beginning to end, he only paused for a second before continuing his actions without even giving her a glance.
The sunlight shone from behind the girl. She lowered her eyes slightly and silently withdrew her hand. The embarrassment that had instantly solidified was suppressed by her bit by bit into cautious calmness.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was subtle.
Huo Zhenqing inexplicably felt that his once thick hair seemed to have disappeared and turned into a big, shining light bulb.
In order to break the unpleasant atmosphere that made him, a divorced bachelor, feel uncomfortable, he coughed twice and took the initiative to speak.
"No real gunshot wound was committed. Although the old man was angry, he didn't lose his mind."
"But in the past two days, he has basically stopped talking..."
"The first day he found out, the old man was ready to go to the capital and personally destroy those beasts from the Ning family. I tried my best to persuade him, but I stopped him."
"We are at the center of this storm right now. If the two scumbags from the Ning family haven't come out to give an explanation yet, it's because they want to keep the public's attention. Otherwise, once the heat dies down, no one will care about their life or death."
"If they vanished before the public received a response, the Huo family would definitely become the first suspect. Even if our Huo family was as powerful as we are, we wouldn't dare to brazenly break the law in public."
Huo Zhenqing sighed.
"Incest violates social morality, but there are no relevant legal provisions. Therefore, until now, the Ning brothers and sisters have only been scorned and despised by the public."
"So now we are discussing whether or not to simply disclose the fact that they are the murderers of Yunduan."
"Wait until these two scumbags go to jail,"
Huo Zhenqing grinned, his white teeth sharp and ferocious in the sunlight, carrying endless malice and hatred.
"I have plenty of ways to make them want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot."
"What are you talking about?"
An old, tense voice suddenly sounded from the side door of the flower hall.
Huo Zhenqing's whole body was shocked.
Shen Pianpian also narrowed her pupils and slowly turned her head to look.
The old man leaned on a cane, standing straight and tense at the entrance that was almost submerged by the flower stand.
His eyes were narrowed and he stared at Huo Zhenqing fiercely like a wolf, and his whole body was emitting an extremely terrifying murderous aura.
The old man repeated slowly, his voice trembling slightly, filled with unbelievable anger and gnashing of teeth.
"Say what you just said again!"
Just like Huo Zhenqing, the successor of the Huo family who has become sworn brothers with terrorists and underworld families in Yungang and the Middle East, now became a timid subordinate in front of this old man.
He stood up and said hurriedly, almost stuttering.
"Dad, dad... please calm down for a moment... calm down... I just said it casually..."
"You still want to lie to me!"
The old man slammed his cane on the ground, breaking it in two with a dull sound. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Huo Zhenqing showed a frightened and worried expression.
Shen Pianxian took the initiative to step forward and supported him, but was pushed away by the old man with extremely fluctuating emotions the next second.
She staggered back two steps, but stubbornly refused to let go of the old man's hand.
"Grandpa!"
