"What does Auntie want with me?"
"Shi Qian, you've come at the right time." Huo Aiyun didn't give him a friendly look. "Your grandfather is on the verge of death, but he is, after all, the largest shareholder of the Huo Group, so this temporary board meeting will be held here today."
Qiao Wanwan stood up. "Since you're holding a board meeting, it's not convenient for me to be there. I'll be leaving now."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Huo Aiyun looked at her disdainfully. "I'm allowing you to be here so you can see with your own eyes just how powerful the person you've offended is."
Qiao Wanwan: "..." That's really unnecessary...
“Madam Zhan, you don’t need to leave.” Huo Shiqian looked at her. “My grandfather still needs your care. I will take care of things here soon.”
"What have you settled?" Huo Aiyun asked. "Shi Qian, I've given you chances before, including now. I'm giving you one last chance. As long as you promise to bring Tangtang back to treat Grandpa, I won't hold your past actions against you."
"I made it very clear yesterday that this is not feasible."
"Everyone, did you all hear that?" Huo Aiyun immediately added fuel to the fire. "I'm not making this up, Shi Qian really is disregarding my father's life!"
The board members expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Shi Qian, how could you do this? Where is your filial piety?"
"You are the president of the group, but you are also the grandson of the old president. How can you treat your grandfather, who nurtured you, like this!"
Huo Shiqian smiled calmly, "First of all, I did not neglect my grandfather. I hired the best doctors to treat him and did not slack off in the slightest."
"Secondly, the reason you are all here collectively accusing me and trying to remove me from the position of president is because Huo Aiyun promised you that after she becomes the president of Huo's Group, she will give each of you an additional 1% of the shares, isn't it?"
Everyone's expression turned grim!
Old Yang was furious. "Miss Aiyun, are you crazy? You dare to dilute the Huo family's shares?"
"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!" Huo Aiyun simply tore off the mask. "Shiqian, this is a board meeting, don't try to change the subject! Everyone, those who agree to remove Huo Shiqian from his position as president, please raise your hands."
All the directors raised their hands without hesitation, clearly indicating that Huo Aiyun had bribed and arranged everything overnight!
Huo Shiqian remained calm and said, "Fame and fortune are nothing but external things to me. Whether I am the president or not is really irrelevant to me, but I cannot allow the Huo Group to fall into the hands of a scoundrel like you who has no bottom line."
Huo Aiyun was trembling with anger. "Although I'm on the opposite side of you, I'm still your aunt, your elder. Is this how you talk to your elder?!"
"You know you're my aunt, my elder?" Huo Shiqian sneered. "But the dirty things you've done behind my back don't make you worthy of being my elder, or even a human being!"
"Explain yourself clearly, what did I do!"
"You poisoned Grandpa! You risked Grandpa's health to save your daughter! You're utterly heartless!"
Huo Aiyun retorted angrily, "How dare you throw such mud at me? Believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation!"
"If you still show no remorse now, don't blame me for not giving you face." Huo Shiqian's face turned cold. "Bring him in!"
Two bodyguards immediately dragged a man in and threw him on the ground.
Huo Aiyun's expression changed!
Qiao Wanwan looked closely and saw that it was the old Chinese medicine doctor that Huo Aiyun had brought yesterday. He was still wearing the same robe as yesterday, but it was covered in blood, his hands were covered in blood, and his face was pale and very weak!
It's obvious that he's been tortured!
Huo Shiqian spoke slowly and deliberately, “Aunt, at first, this charlatan refused to say anything, after all, you gave him enough money and repeatedly warned him.”
"But when I pulled out his fingernails one by one, he finally couldn't hold back and confessed everything."
Huo Aiyun's face turned ashen in an instant, completely losing all color, as she stared in disbelief at the old Chinese medicine doctor on the ground!
Huo Shiqian kicked the old Chinese medicine doctor's hand, causing him to cry out in pain, "Ah—"
The pain of having fingers connected to the heart is indescribable!
“Repeat what you confessed to me.”
"Yes...yes..." The old Chinese medicine doctor trembled all over, raising his shaking hand to point at Huo Aiyun, and said, "She came to me, asking me to help make poison, but with one condition: it had to be mixed with blood, and the antidote had to use the same blood..."
"She provided a blood sample to make poison for me, then brought me back to pretend to treat the old man. I knew what was going on, so of course I could tell right away that the old man was poisoned. Then she took your and your sister's blood, pretending to take it for testing, but the results were obviously unsuitable. She could only use blood from the blood sample, which was from her daughter..."
The entire audience was shocked!
Old Yang was so angry he almost fainted. "So you were the one who orchestrated the poisoning of the master! He's your own father! How could you do this to him!"
"He's lying!" Huo Aiyun vehemently denied. "This man was bribed by Shi Qian to slander me. How could I possibly poison my own father!"
Huo Shiqian smiled faintly, "Then what does Aunt think should be done about someone who framed you?"
A murderous glint flashed in Huo Aiyun's eyes. "Anyone who dares to slander the Huo family deserves to die. Kill him immediately!"
The old Chinese medicine doctor on the ground trembled violently, shaking with rage. "What a heartless, despicable woman! Since you are so cruel, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
