Chapter 285 Such a convincing performance
Although everyone had heard about this before, hearing it from Old Master Huo's mouth still shocked everyone.
"The second thing is that Fok Chun-hung of the second wife's family also participated in this capital hunt and was expelled from the Fok family."
Old Master Huo's voice was cold.
“From today onwards, the Huo family will no longer have these two people.”
Aunt Si kept her head down, her prayer beads spinning rapidly in her hand.
A slight smile curved her lips.
She quickly suppressed it.
Old Master Huo looked at Fang Lanxin.
"Lanxin, is there anything you want to say?"
Fang Lanxin stood up.
"Grandpa, I do have something to say."
She looked around.
"On the surface, the capital attack that the Huo family has encountered this time is an attempt by overseas capital to take over the Huo Group."
"But in reality, the real mastermind is within our Huo family."
Everyone in the ancestral hall was stunned.
"Lanxin, what do you mean by that?"
Huo Zhenguo, from the third branch of the family, asked.
"What I mean is that someone used the Huo family's money to support a group of overseas capital, and then let that capital devour the Huo family in return."
Fang Lanxin took out a stack of documents.
"These are all the suspicious funds that have flowed out of the Huo family in the last three years."
"A total of 2.3 billion."
"And all of this money went to the overseas capital firms that were targeting the Huo Group this time."
The ancestral hall was in an uproar.
"How is this possible?!"
"Who did this?!"
Fang Lanxin slowly walked up to her fourth aunt.
"Fourth Aunt, tell me, who did it?"
Fourth Aunt raised her head, her face still bearing a gentle smile.
"Lanxin, what do you mean by this?"
"You suspect it's me?"
"It's not a doubt."
Fang Lanxin threw the documents in front of her fourth aunt.
"It's evidence."
"All of this money was transferred out of Uncle Si's account."
"And the recipient is the anonymous account you opened in a Swiss bank."
Aunt Si's smile froze.
The air inside the ancestral hall seemed to freeze.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the stack of documents in Fang Lanxin's hand.
Fourth Aunt remained seated, her prayer beads now still in her hand.
She still had that gentle smile on her face, but it was a little stiff.
"Lanxin, you must be joking."
Auntie Si slowly stood up, her voice trembling slightly.
"How could an old woman like me, who practices vegetarianism and chants Buddhist prayers, possibly do such a thing?"
"Yes, Fourth Aunt doesn't even dare to kill a chicken normally, how could she possibly do something like this?"
Huo Zhenguo, from the third branch of the family, echoed this.
Fang Lanxin didn't say anything, but simply handed the document to Old Master Huo.
Grandpa Huo took the document, put on his reading glasses, and began to flip through it page by page.
The ancestral hall was eerily quiet; the only sound was the rustling of paper turning.
Old Master Huo's expression grew increasingly grim.
He finished reading the last page, took off his glasses, and closed his eyes.
"Zhenhong's wife, how do you explain these accounts?"
Aunt Si's body swayed slightly.
She held onto the chair and took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, I really don't know anything about these accounts."
"Perhaps it was forged by someone trying to frame me."
"Forgery"
Huo Siya stood up.
"Fourth Aunt, your fingerprints and signature are on the Swiss bank account opening record."
How do you explain this?
Fourth Aunt's face turned pale.
“That account… that account was opened by Zhenhong.”
"He said it was to make it easier to do business. I didn't know anything about it, so I did as he said."
"As for where the money went, I really don't know."
"Fourth Aunt, how long are you going to keep up this act?"
Fang Lanxin walked up to her fourth aunt.
"In the past three years, the 2.3 billion you transferred from the Huo family has all flowed to those few overseas capital companies."
“And those overseas capitals are the main force behind this attack on the Huo Group.”
You say you don't know?
Aunt Si raised her head, her eyes slightly red.
"Lanxin, I really don't know."
"Perhaps Zhenhong did it behind my back. If you want to investigate, go investigate him."
Why would you wrong an old woman like me?
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
"Over the years I have worked diligently in the Huo family, and I have never dared to overstep the bounds in the slightest."
"Now you're accusing me of being the mastermind? I... I'm truly innocent!"
Auntie Si cried very sadly, and she did look like she had been wronged.
Several collateral relatives in the ancestral hall had already begun whispering among themselves.
"Auntie Si doesn't usually seem like the type to do this kind of thing."
"Could it really be that her fourth uncle did it without her knowledge?"
Fang Lanxin looked coldly at her fourth aunt.
This woman has amazing acting skills.
She was deceived by this face in her past life.
He thought his fourth aunt was a kind and harmless old woman and had no suspicion of her.
And the result?
Tianle died of joy.
Kenneth Fok hated her.
Huo Siya left for a distant land.
The Huo family fell apart.
As a result, Huo Zhenyu, the son of the fourth aunt, naturally took over the Huo family's business.
"Fourth Aunt, you acted so well."
Fang Lanxin's voice was very soft.
"If I hadn't investigated so thoroughly this time, I almost would have been fooled by you again."
She turned to look at Kenneth Fok.
"Ki-bang, take the things out."
Kenneth Fok nodded and took a laptop out of his bag.
He turned on his computer and pulled up a surveillance video.
"This is the CCTV footage from the old house on the day Tianle had the accident."
Huo Qibang's voice trembled slightly.
"I searched for a long time and finally found the deleted video in the backup server."
On the screen, an image of the kitchen of the Huo family's old house appeared.
Aunt Si came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl.
She looked around to make sure no one was there, then took a small bottle out of her sleeve.
I poured a few drops of liquid into the bowl.
Then he stirred it a few times with a spoon, picked up the bowl, and walked out of the frame.
A gasp of surprise erupted from inside the ancestral hall.
"That's...that's the soup Tianle drank!"
"My God, it really was Fourth Aunt who made it!"
Fourth Aunt's face turned completely pale.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"Fourth Aunt, how do you explain this?"
Fang Lanxin walked up to her fourth aunt.
"The soup that Tianle drank that day was served to him by you personally."
"And you added something to the soup."
"After Tianle died, the doctor said he died of a sudden heart attack."
"But in reality, you put a slow-acting poison in the soup."
Auntie swayed and almost fell over.
She held onto the chair, her voice hoarse.
"No...it wasn't me..."
"Not you"
Huo Qibang rushed over and grabbed his fourth aunt by the collar.
"Who is that!"
My son is only six years old! Six years old!
How could you do that!
Fourth Aunt was so frightened by Huo Qibang that she collapsed to the ground.
Her tears kept flowing.
"I...I had no choice..."
"Zhenyu is my only son..."
"He's so outstanding, why should he be suppressed by your first wife's family for the rest of his life?"
"Why should I!"
Aunt Si suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and malice.
"Why should all the Huo family's assets belong to your eldest branch of the family?"
"We, the fourth wife, are destined to be mere supporting characters for life."
"Zhenyu is smarter and more capable than Huo Qibang, so why can't he take over the Huo family business?"
Her voice grew louder and louder.
"So I thought, if Tianle died, Fang Lanxin would definitely break down."
"At that time, her relationship with Kenneth Fok will break down."
