76
Huo Tingzhen sat in the car, his gaze unfocused, his face completely pale.
The man sighed and patted her arm.
Huo Tingzhen subconsciously turned her head and saw the familiar face on the screen, and her eyes regained their light.
Holding the phone tightly in her hands, she pleaded, "Brother, please send someone to save Jian Yu, she..."
Huo Qizhen had already heard the man's account of what happened. "Smith has already called the police."
Huo Tingzhen shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "The police arrived too late. With such a huge explosion, even if she hadn't died then, Huo Nan wouldn't have let her go."
Seeing her like this, Huo Qizhen felt somewhat guilty. "This time it's my fault for not protecting you well. We clearly had evidence of the Huo brothers' illegal and criminal activities, but we didn't hand it in for some reason. I thought their target was me, and since you were sent by Grandma at the last minute, they wouldn't do anything to you. I was careless."
At this point, Huo Tingzhen's eyes filled with even more grief. She wiped away her tears and said, "Brother, do you know? The day before I came back, Dad gave me a watch to wish me a successful completion of this job. Dad rarely gives me things, so I was very happy and brought it back with me. But there was a nano locator inside."
If it weren't for this nano-locator, her bodyguards could have easily protected her and helped her escape safely, instead of leaving her all alone in the end.
Huo Qizhen wasn't surprised. With so many bodyguards, they couldn't protect one person. They must have been well-prepared before they made their move.
Huo Tingzhen opened her mouth, then looked at her brother hesitantly.
Huo Qizhen told her to speak her mind.
Was your car accident... also arranged by your father?
At that time, we were also on our way to the collaborative project.
The driver ran a red light, causing a serious traffic accident.
If it weren't for Huo Qizhen's good fortune, he would have died in that car accident just like his bodyguard.
Huo Qizhen avoided the topic and turned to instruct his assistant, "Notify our people that we can hand over the evidence to the police."
Huo Tingzhen quickly waved his hand, "We can't hand it over. The Huo family's collateral branch already has absolute power in the country. Handing over the evidence is like giving it to them for nothing."
Huo Qizhen comforted her, saying, "The Huo family's collateral branches do indeed have an absolute power, but the heavens have long wanted to tear them apart."
Huo Tingzhen understood her brother's meaning and was worried that it would affect the future development of the Huo family business.
"The Huo family conglomerate does legitimate business. Those shady businesses were caused by the Huo brothers' greed. It's good that they've lost them."
Seeing Huo Tingzhen's swollen eyelids, Huo Qizhen softened his tone, "Smith is an old friend of mine, he will protect your safety. You should get some sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up."
Huo Tingzhen was wide awake, "Jian Yu..."
It seems the odds are against them.
Both sides fell silent.
When Huo Qizhen's weak pleading voice came from the other end, Huo Tingzhen asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Huo Qizhen smiled and replied, "It's nothing, just a few traitors woke up."
Huo Tingzhen immediately understood; it was the person who had come back with her brother this time.
Huo Tingzhen really wanted to ask, "Wasn't he sent by your father?"
He hung up the phone like an ostrich.
"Young Master, this is what they sent back."
A bodyguard placed five or six mobile phones in front of Huo Qizhen. Huo Qizhen raised his hand and flipped through them one by one. After looking at them, he waved his hand to indicate that they should be put away.
"How is Huo Yunzhen doing?"
"As you instructed, as soon as he lands, he will be taken to the pre-arranged accommodation. At the same time, his mobile phone and electronic devices will be confiscated until the Huo Chang'an incident comes to an end."
Once Huo Yunzhen is released, he will lose his authority over domestic affairs.
At that time, his good father will be so angry that he will come over and kill himself, right?
Oh...
Huo Chang'an had just been escorted back to his residence when the police came knocking on his door.
The Huo family has been arrogant and haughty for years, staring wide-eyed at the rows of people in uniform.
Who would be so foolish as to come looking for trouble?
Wait for their second uncle to make a phone call, and they'll be in deep trouble.
To their utter astonishment, no one answered the phone when Huo Chang'an made the call.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the seemingly omnipotent Second Master Huo was taken away in a police car.
The butler, accountant, and some bodyguards were also taken away.
Huo Si'an's body is undergoing an autopsy, and his wife, housekeeper, and assistant are also in the waiting area and have been taken away for investigation.
Huo Si'an's wife struggled and screamed, and finally quieted down after being scolded.
Before dawn, the rest of the Huo family were also taken away.
When Huo Qizhen was born, only some minors from the Huo family's collateral branches remained who had not been taken away.
Upon arriving at the pre-booked presidential suite, Kenneth Fok met his disheveled sister.
Smith breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him. "You've finally arrived. I promised Tingzhen I'd go back and check on Jianyu now."
Huo Qizhen thanked him and sent him an assistant.
Rewind a few hours, and Jian Yu was driving at breakneck speed toward Huo Nan.
The driver realized something was wrong and immediately pulled the handbrake and turned the steering wheel, but it was too late.
The car, after being hit by the car, veered into a small, automated gas station not far away.
A few seconds later, a violent explosion occurred.
When Honan's car was launched into the air, it was already engulfed in flames.
Those chasing after Jianyu stopped their cars, hesitated, and then grabbed their car fire extinguishers and surrounded him.
The fire was so big that it took more than a dozen fire extinguishers to finally put out the fire on the vehicle.
It took a lot of effort to get Huo Nan out; he was burned beyond recognition.
Although Jian Yu's car did not explode, it was severely damaged due to excessive speed. Fortunately, the airbags deployed immediately to protect her; otherwise, she would have died on the spot.
Two trucks were parked by the roadside. The drivers were looking for an open-air toilet in the jungle when they heard the noise and ran out in fright.
Seeing that the crowd was gathered around putting out the fire, the two ran to Jian Yu's car and checked her over. They found that although she was seriously injured, she was still breathing.
Because the car door was severely damaged, they were unable to get the person out.
They had no choice but to call the police for help.
There happened to be a police car patrolling nearby, and it arrived within minutes.
Seeing this, Huo Nan's men clenched their fists, annoyed that they hadn't thought of throwing a lighter into Jian Yu's car first.
It's too late to take action now.
Some people had no choice but to take Huo Nan and the driver to the hospital, while others stayed behind to find an opportunity to take Jian Yu away.
When Huo Chang'an received the call, he only said one sentence: "The car accident was too serious; the person cannot be saved."
Huo Nan was wheeled into the operating room and emergency treatment began.
Jian Yu was also sent to the hospital, but after being wheeled into the operating room, he was placed in a corner.
Half an hour later, the nurse next to him became anxious and said to the middle-aged doctor who was playing on his phone, "Isn't the surgery going to start yet? If we delay any longer, the injured person will not be able to be saved."
The middle-aged doctor glanced at her, said nothing, and continued watching videos.
The video was very noisy, and the nurse couldn't help but glare at him.
The young assistant doctor, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes upon hearing this, went outside, and said to the people outside, "The injured person's injuries were too severe, and he has passed away."
The people inside the room exchanged glances.
The middle-aged doctor put away his phone and gestured to another nurse to cover Jian Yu with a sheet, and together they pushed the hospital bed out.
