Jian Yu was engrossed in watching on his tablet.
George, holding a cup of coffee, sat at a distance and secretly reported to Huo Qizhen.
Jian Yu was very curious about how Xu Niannian and Uncle Huo would end things next. Would Madam Xu still plead on her behalf and ask Uncle Huo to marry her?
Jian Yu had been suspicious ever since Xu Que came to deliver the invitation yesterday. He eavesdropped on her phone and even hacked into the security cameras at the Huo family's old house.
After discovering that the two cameras in the beverage area had been turned off, Jian Yu searched for signals inside the room and found two newly installed hidden cameras in the beverage area.
The entire process of Xu Niannian drugging the drug was witnessed through a hidden camera.
Download the video and send it to Huo Tingzhen. "Your stepmother seems to be trying to cause trouble using the alcohol?"
Huo Tingzhen then realized that Jian Yu had discovered Xu Que and Xu Niannian's purpose.
Forward the video to Fok Kai-chun.
He looked smug.
"See? Jian Yu is very smart."
Huo Qizhen said, "I didn't want her to know about this."
Huo Tingzhen, "Are you afraid she'll be even more wary?"
He nodded. "Yes."
"And now?"
“Tell her the plan! Let her know that I am not ignorant of these things, nor am I someone who can be manipulated by others.”
The key is to let Jian Yu know that he has the ability to eliminate these people and protect her!
We must earn back the points we lost, little by little.
Jian Yu's first reaction after hearing this was relief.
Thankfully, I didn't agree to go.
Huo Tingzhen tried her best to speak well of Huo Qizhen.
Don't be afraid when you come, my brother has arranged everything.
Jian Yu smiled but didn't reply.
Huo Tingzhen accompanied the remaining guests for another round of drinks at the table before Huo Qizhen appeared.
As soon as he appeared, someone laughed and said, "Qizhen! What's wrong with you? Aren't you usually a heavy drinker?"
Huo Qizhen also looked puzzled, "I don't know either. I always feel a little dizzy after drinking. It's like when I injured my foot and was hospitalized, I felt sleepy after taking the medicine."
The other dizzy people...
It turns out it wasn't their imagination.
"I also feel that the dizzy feeling today is different from when I'm drunk on other days."
"I feel a little dizzy, but not seriously. Logically speaking, even if I drank three times the normal amount, I shouldn't feel this way!"
Huo Qizhen looked at the wine glass with a puzzled expression.
Someone picked up a wine glass and held it under their nose to smell it carefully.
There is no odor.
Huo Tingzhen sent a WeChat message to Jian Yu.
These people never imagined that there was only a tiny bit of drug in their drinks—just enough to keep them sober enough to see things clearly.
Jian Yu replied with an emoji that said "keep watching the show."
Grandma Huo then realized something was wrong.
Why are so many people feeling dizzy this time?
Huo Tingzhen spoke up at the opportune moment, "Could there be something wrong with the wine?"
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Everyone turned their attention to Old Madam Huo, including Huo Qizhen, since she was the head of the Huo Group and naturally needed to make the decisions.
Feeling scrutinized like this, Old Madam Huo had no choice but to order an investigation.
Before long, the footage captured by the hidden camera was shown to everyone.
Seeing Xu Niannian inject an unknown liquid into all thirty bottles of red wine in the first wine cabinet, the group stopped looking and started banging on the table, demanding that she come out and explain.
"What exactly did she inject?"
Is it harmful to the body?
"My dizziness is getting worse. Is the medication taking effect? Why did she drug us?"
"Where is Huo An? Where is Xu Que? Did they instigate this? Are they planning to do something bad to our Chinese medicine?"
"And the two old masters have already gone to their rooms to rest. Are they alright?"
Huo Qizhen made a quick decision: "Call the family doctor over and have him bring the equipment to check if there are any abnormalities in the blood."
"Yes, yes! Get checked quickly, and if anything seems wrong, go to the hospital immediately."
"The doctor can examine her, but we also need to find Xu Niannian. Where is she?"
No one in the house could say for sure where she was.
Mrs. Huo had no choice but to have the surveillance footage from the banquet corridor retrieved.
Through surveillance footage, it was discovered that she went to the guest room at the very back of the first floor.
"Go and call them out!"
At Mrs. Huo's command, a maid quickly ran over to call for help.
As a result, she blushed and ran back shyly.
"Madam, Miss Niannian..."
An elder of the Huo family scoffed, "What Miss Niannian? We only call her Miss Niannian because the Huo family is giving her face. Everyone knows how poor the Xu family used to be."
"Exactly. Just because they've gotten close to Brother Huo An doesn't mean they can do whatever they want in the Huo family. They're dreaming!"
"Everyone knows how Xu Que got to power. I think Xu Niannian's drugging was probably also related to her desire to rise to power!"
When Xu Niannian's ambition to rise to power was mentioned, everyone's attention turned to Huo Qizhen.
Huo Qizhen looked completely innocent. "Why are you all looking at me? I have other marriage candidates."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu looked up at George.
George immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Yu asked, "Who is Mr. Huo's chosen marriage partner?"
George chuckled and said, "I don't know either! Why don't you ask Miss? She should know."
Jian Yu nodded, "We should ask. It would be best if Tingzhen could persuade Mr. Huo to get married sooner."
That way, no one will target her anymore.
But who should be chosen?
Why didn't Huo Tingzhen mention it?
George, "..."
Someone pressed Kenneth Fok, "Who is your marriage partner?"
Huo Qizhen: "I'll let you know once she agrees."
It turns out she hasn't accepted the marriage proposal yet.
This made everyone even more curious.
The heir to the Huo family conglomerate is a highly sought-after catch, so who would be so foolish as to waste their time?
Huo Qizhen changed the subject, "You still haven't told me what happened to the person?"
The maid lowered her head and stammered, "Madam...you should...go...see...it yourself!"
The servant's words successfully piqued everyone's curiosity.
So, the group of people marched in a grand procession toward the guest rooms at the far end.
Even the guest rooms in the Huo family mansion have good soundproofing.
The middle-aged man at the front pushed open the door and then stopped in his tracks.
"What are you doing? Get out of here!"
As soon as the person behind finished speaking, a blushing and heart-pounding sound could be heard.
He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Finally, driven by curiosity, I secretly peeked inside.
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at that glance.
"dad!!!"
Old Mrs. Huo's brow twitched. Huo's third cousin?
Huo Tingzhen grasped Old Madam Huo's hand, his tongue trembling, "Third Uncle? Is it him inside, and... Niannian?"
Then, Huo Tingzhen unleashed a super-powerful voice capable of blowing the roof off---
"Ahhh! What's going on between my dad and Xu Que? How could he let his own niece become his cousin's wife?"
