Old Xue's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Huo's brow twitched. Could it be that Old Xue was really in trouble?
Huo Qizhen grabbed her hand, worried that her emotions were too volatile and something might go wrong. "Grandma, you'll know after you've seen it."
"Yes! Check first."
This investigation uncovered a problem.
Nearly five billion yuan has been missing from Madam Huo's private account.
All of these funds were transferred into a private account overseas.
Five billion, not five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand, and certainly not five thousand. How could her professional financial manager not have noticed that such a large sum of money was missing?
The dates are all from the time she was hospitalized.
Most importantly, how can it be transferred out without her authorization?
Old Madam Huo gave him a cold look, and Old Xue immediately knelt down.
There was nothing else that Madam Huo didn't understand: "Go report it to the police. This person has transferred 5 billion yuan of my funds. I will make sure he stays in prison for the rest of his life."
Old Madam Huo's words startled Old Xue, who blurted out the whole story.
“Madam, I didn’t touch your money; it was Master Huo An who transferred it.”
Huo An?
As the most beloved child of Old Madam Huo, it's not surprising that Huo An knew her bank account password.
However, Madam Huo was puzzled. Huo An himself had a lot of property, so why would he want to take her money?
These are all her private funds.
"It's Young Master Yunzhen. He followed the eldest young master's example and started an international project, but he got scammed, causing the company to lose over four billion. To cover this hole, the eldest young master used his own personal assets, but many assets are untouchable, and the account funds are insufficient. That's why he wanted to borrow your money. He said that as long as this hole is covered, the project can operate, and within two years, the losses can be covered. Madam, you don't usually check the account, so you definitely won't notice the funds are missing. Once the project makes money, the eldest young master will return your money immediately, and he'll even give you a large sum of interest. I calculated the interest and found it's indeed quite high. I thought that this way, you would praise me for my financial management skills, so I helped him out."
Old Xue spoke very earnestly.
But Old Mrs. Huo didn't believe it at all.
Huo Qizhen even had someone check Lao Xue's accounts and discovered that his overseas account had received an extra 100 million.
The source of the money was quickly identified.
The check given by Hoan.
Old Xue went abroad specifically to exchange them.
"Oh! No wonder you agreed to secretly transfer my money; you were bribed."
Old Xue's face turned deathly pale, and he dared not speak.
"Go report it to the police."
Old Xue could no longer remain silent. Huo An had confidently declared that even if the matter were discovered, Old Madam Huo would consider him as her son and choose to let it go.
This is different from what Huo An said!
"Madam, if you call the police, the old man won't be able to escape either."
As expected, Madam Huo calmed down, and Old Xue was secretly delighted; she had been terrified.
The next second, "Go and call Huo An here."
They were so angry that they started calling out his name.
Old Xue's vision began to blur.
Huo An and Xu Que returned quickly. They were unaware of what had happened, and greeted everyone with smiles as they entered, "Mom!"
"Don't call me Mom, I can't accept it."
Huo An and Xu Que, "..."
Upon seeing Lao Xue kneeling on the ground, the two men's expressions changed drastically, realizing that their scheme had been exposed.
Xu Que's eyes darted around, and tears instantly welled up in them. "Mom!"
Old Madam Huo watched coldly, wondering what she was up to.
Huo An stopped in his tracks, letting Xu Que go first.
Xu Que wiped away her tears. "Mom! Huang Ling and Huang Ruo were forced to do hard labor in an African mine by Qi Zhen. They secretly escaped when the supervisors weren't looking, but they encountered a tornado on the way and were buried by sand. Their bodies have not been found to this day."
"What?"
Old Madam Huo suddenly turned to look at Huo Qizhen, "Really?"
Huo Qizhen frowned and stared at Xu Que. He had underestimated Huo Yunzhen, who had actually bribed the people at the mine.
"Grandma, about it..."
Old Madam Huo interrupted him sharply, "Is your cousin dead?"
Huo Qizhen, “…”
Huo Tingzhen helped up Old Madam Huo, "Grandma, don't be angry, things aren't what you think."
Old Madam Huo abruptly shook off Huo Tingzhen's hand, "You... uh???"
His body swayed, his eyes rolled back, and he fell backward.
Huo Qizhen caught her with lightning speed, "Grandma!"
Old Madam Huo glanced at him, her eyes full of reproach, "You..."
His fingers trembled, then trembled again, and then fell.
Huo Qizhen's expression changed drastically, "Grandma!"
Jian Yu, who was outside the surveillance camera, felt his heart tremble when he heard this sorrowful voice.
It was only then that Huo An realized something was wrong, "Mom!"
Huo Tingzhen placed his hand under Old Madam Huo's nose and found that she was no longer breathing.
"Butler, heart monitor."
The family doctor quickly brought out a heart monitor and ran over.
Everyone in the room held their breath, waiting for the result.
"The old lady's heart has stopped."
Huo Qizhen, Huo Tingzhen, and Huo An, along with the old butler and the others, were all filled with tears.
Old Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief; with the old lady dead, no one could hold him accountable.
Only Xu Que quietly walked outside.
Huo Qizhen didn't even look up. "Arrest them."
The bodyguards swarmed forward and restrained Xu Que, who shouted urgently, "Huo An!"
Huo An stared intently at Old Madam Huo, as if he hadn't heard her shouts.
Xu Que continued to call him.
Huo Qizhen placed Old Madam Huo in Huo An's arms and walked to Old Xue's side, "Did you transfer this ten million?"
Old Xue glanced at the date and time, then shook his head. "No."
Huo Qizhen and Huo Tingzhen stared at Huo An and Xu Que with displeasure. So it was these two who did it?
They deliberately damaged the wiring and sabotaged the surveillance system to frame Grandma.
Huo An was very dissatisfied. "Your grandmother just passed away, and instead of rushing to arrange the funeral, you're chasing after ten million. What? Are you short of money?"
Huo Qizhen gave him a cold look. "You're the one who's short of money, aren't you? You teamed up with Lao Xue to transfer 5 billion of Grandma's funds. Afraid of being exposed, you had Xu Que use Huang Ling to provoke Grandma, causing her to..."
Huo An was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lao Xue, "What fifty billion? Didn't I tell you to transfer ten billion?"
Old Xue didn't dare to meet Huo An's eyes at all.
Huo An pulled him over, "Speak!"
Old Xue pointed at Xu Que, "It's the Madam's and Young Master Yunzhen's idea."
Huo An's face was full of resentment. "Why did you do this? I told you Mom's account password, not so you could steal so much money from her!"
Xu Que gave a strange smile, seemingly both helpless and angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly Mom who gave us the money, how can you say it's stolen?"
