Chapter 488 Confrontation and questioning
The old man was shocked and angry. After leaving the police station, he asked in a stern voice: "What did she do?"
The driver trembled and opened the news on his phone in front of the old man. "Master, take a look at today's news. The police just came to the door and it was on the hot search. I'm afraid someone did it on purpose."
The old man narrowed his eyes viciously, read the news carefully, returned the phone to the driver, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Huo's house."
In the Huo family's old house, the aroma of tea wafts through the air.
Old Man Huo and Old Man Leng sat opposite each other. There was a chessboard and several rolled-up newspapers on the table.
Old man Leng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Mr. Huo, let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure you've guessed why I came here today. Stop it now. Although my Leng family is not as prosperous as the Huo family, if I fight back desperately, I'm sure you won't end up well."
Elder Huo was stunned for a moment, looked at Old Man Leng in surprise, and laughed: "I didn't expect you to say such passionate words, but we are all old, and we can't hold on for a few more years. Sometimes we have to let go and discipline our children, so as not to let unworthy descendants destroy the family's century-old foundation."
"What do you mean?" Old Man Leng asked in a bad tone, "Are you saying that my Leng family doesn't know how to manage their descendants? Humph! No matter what, the descendants of my Leng family will never be so cruel!"
"Oh? Don't you understand your children and grandchildren?" Mr. Huo said calmly.
Seeing that Old Man Leng's eyes were about to spit fire, he slowly said, "Let me tell you, I know about Leng Ziling's matter this time, but it has nothing to do with my Huo family. Don't you believe it? I'll tell you what your good granddaughter did. She teamed up with her uncle, Tao Yizhou, to send people to Qingpu to kidnap Ziyue's wife. Do you know about this?"
Old Man Leng was stunned. Old Man Huo continued, "Originally, Zi Yue had not found out that Leng Ziling was responsible. He was only trying to deal with Tao Yizhou. But your vicious granddaughter resorted to despicable means and slandered Wan Wan's pastries. Didn't you read the hot news these days? The headlines about food poisoning have been on the news for several days. Haha, do you think Zi Yue will let your good granddaughter go?"
As he spoke, Elder Huo dropped a heavy move. The crisp sound awakened the dazed Old Man Leng. Old Man Leng tightly grasped his cane and stared at Elder Huo. "So Zi Ling's matter has nothing to do with the Huo family?"
Mr. Huo looked at him calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. My Huo family acts uprightly. If it was us who did it, I won't deny it. If it wasn't us, I don't need to admit it. As for Zi Yue, I don't know how he will retaliate. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that his wife was sent to the hospital after being rescued and was found to be pregnant."
Old man Leng staggered, his eyes shook and he almost fell down. His face was pale and looked very scary. Old Mr. Huo was startled and quickly called his aunt to come and help him.
Old man Leng left the Huo family without saying a word.
Looking at his desolate back, Old Huo sighed silently. When they reach their age, even if they still value power, they still need the support of their younger generations. The Leng family has only three grandchildren. One is estranged from the Leng family, one is half dead, and the other is now in the police station. No one knows what will happen to him in the future. I'm afraid that Old Man Leng is not feeling well.
The driver was waiting by the roadside. Seeing the old man Leng staggering over, he hurried over to help him and asked with concern, "Master, how are you? What did the head of the Huo family say?"
"Hey, get in the car first." The cold old man closed his eyes tiredly, got in the car and tilted his head. If his eyelids hadn't been moving, the driver would have thought he had fainted.
Before the car arrived home, Old Man Leng called Leng Yanbo.
When Old Man Leng returned to the Leng family's old house, Leng Yanbo had already received the news from the nanny. He looked anxious and even called the hospital to ask Tao Yitong to come back.
"Dad, what did the police say? Why would they come to my house and take Ziling away for no reason? What could a girl like her do wrong?" Leng Yanbo really couldn't figure it out, and subconsciously thought that Leng Ziling was framed.
Old man Leng said nothing. He stepped forward and slapped Leng Yanbo, knocking him unconscious. "Dad?"
Old man Leng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stared at Leng Yanbo with bloodshot eyes and roared like a devil: "You bastard, you are incompetent and can't even raise a child. What do I need a useless person like you for?"
Leng Yanbo covered his face cowardly and dared not refute, allowing the old man Leng to scold him as a grandson.
Seeing his timid look, old man Leng became even angrier. He couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
Everyone was shocked and the whole old house was in complete chaos.
When Tao Yitong rushed back, the family doctor was prescribing medicine for Old Man Leng, who was lying on the bed staring at Leng Yanbo.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Tao Yitong asked breathlessly.
The nanny hurried behind her and told her what had happened in a low voice.
Tao Yitong's eyes widened instantly, and she asked sharply, "Why? What did Ziling do that the police wanted to arrest her? Was it... Was it the Huo family who did it?"
The gaze that was originally fixed on Leng Yanbo fell on Tao Yitong, "How do you know it was the Huo family who did it?"
Tao Yitong didn't think much about it. Upon hearing this, she gritted her teeth and angrily accused: "I knew it was them! They bully others by relying on their power. Dad, you have to stand up for Ziling!"
"First, tell me why you suspect that the Huo family did it?" The cold old man stared at Tao Yitong with a sharp gaze.
Tao Yitong was speechless for a moment, and stammered for a long time, feeling guilty and not daring to look the old man in the eye, "Besides them, there is no one else. Looking at the entire Beijing city, we are no longer at odds with anyone else."
"Then why don't you suspect that Ziling has provoked someone outside who shouldn't be provoked?"
"Impossible!" Tao Yitong said subconsciously, only to find it difficult to justify herself after she said it.
Old Man Leng finally understood everything and laughed, "Good, very good! You mother and daughter are very good, very good!"
Tao Yitong had a bad feeling and timidly leaned towards Leng Yanbo.
Leng Yanbo had just been scolded, so he quickly tried to avoid her, fearing that he would be implicated by Tao Yitong.
Tao Yitong was so angry and ashamed that she felt overwhelmed.
Old Man Leng had no intention of letting her go, and he immediately questioned her, "You know all about Zi Ling's shameful deeds, kidnapping, frame-up, even if you don't tell me, I can guess that she can collude with the Tao family, and naturally she can't do without you as a middleman. Tell me, what benefits did you promise the Tao family to make your shrewd brother willing to take such a big risk, or is there something behind this that I don't know? Tell me!"
