Lu Wanqing's expression turned serious after receiving the call.
"Chairman Lu, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. We'll go to the hotel after we finish our meal," Huo Xiao said tactfully.
“Why go to a hotel? They all stay at home when they come. Besides, I don’t have anything to do here,” Lu Wanqing said, trying to persuade her to stay.
However, she still gave a general account of what happened.
"This Boss Huang has gone too far. How could he do something like burning down forests? Once the fire starts, it'll be hard to tell which way it will go. What if it burns down to the residential area?" Zhang Leilei was furious when she heard this.
Who can argue with that?
Fortunately, Lu Wanqing had already told Luo Kun to quickly organize manpower to block the key areas with sand. This way, no matter where Huang Ming starts the fire, it will only burn a section of the forest and won't spread across the entire area.
"If you ask me, we should teach this Boss Huang a lesson. He's targeted Miaomiao's company time and time again. If he doesn't learn his lesson, how will he ever be able to do business in the future?" Huo Xiao frowned.
This is exactly what Lu Wanqing was thinking.
After discussing it, the two decided to lure the other into a trap.
Luo Kun sent men to stake out every corner of the forest, waiting for the target to appear.
At this point, Huang Ming would certainly not do it himself, but would send his men to set it on fire.
As soon as the target appeared, Luo Kun's men took him into custody.
"Quick, call Huang Ming and have him come over in person." A knife was held to his neck, and he felt a chill.
"Okay, please don't kill me. I'll do whatever you say."
That person was also a coward; he not only made a phone call but also explained his family situation in detail.
When Huang Ming arrived, he lured the man into the woods and then ran out himself.
"Has the person gone inside?" Luo Kun asked him.
"He's inside, and it's the place where I poured the most gasoline. Once it's set on fire, he definitely won't be able to escape." His family members were already under Luo Kun's control, so Liang didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, a fire indeed lit up inside, and a thick plume of smoke rose slowly.
Luo Kun sent men to escort the man from earlier directly to the train station, gave him some money, and sent him to Dongguan City. He also instructed the man to pretend that the incident never happened, and that if he leaked even a little bit of information, he would not only be an accomplice, but his family would also face annihilation.
Just as the woods were set ablaze, Huo Xiao arrived at Miao Miao's house.
Miaomiao had something come up and couldn't have dinner with them, so she apologized.
Lu Wanqing's phone rang, and she learned that the fire had started but would soon be brought to a close.
"Mom, did you just say that the forest is on fire and Huang Ming walked right into the trap and is going to burn to death inside?" Miaomiao asked excitedly.
Such people think they can escape legal punishment, but they don't expect to be betrayed by their own people and step into the fire they themselves started.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed.
Huang Ming?
Could it be his own father?
After further questioning, he realized that his own idea had actually led to his father's death!
Ultimately, he had fantasized countless times about the circumstances under which he would reunite with his father.
When the time comes, he will definitely ask why he was abandoned and left to his grandmother's care.
Why send a woman to demand money and tarnish his reputation?
His grandmother died, and he was homeless. For many years, he didn't dare to take the road back to his hometown.
Karma!
Twenty years have passed, yet he has not changed his harmful nature, and in the end, he has ruined himself.
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to see his father burned alive like that. He rushed out of the house and drove towards the county town.
Zhang Leilei was frightened by his behavior and begged Lin Ye to take her with him.
An hour later, Huo Xiao's car stopped next to a burning forest. Looking at the raging fire inside, he got out of the car and rushed in.
Zhang Leilei, who was following behind, saw his reckless figure and called out from behind:
"Huo Xiao, what are you doing? Don't do anything stupid!"
Tears welled up in her eyes from her anxiety.
Huo Xiao only came to his senses when he heard her heart-wrenching cries. What was he doing? Why did he still want to save his father?
He stopped in his tracks, letting Zhang Leilei catch up and hug him.
He turned around and hugged Zhang Leilei.
"Leilei, I'll tell you a secret, Huang Ming is my father," he murmured.
This secret, which had been suppressed in my heart for twenty years, was finally revealed.
Zhang Leilei looked at him in surprise, then cupped his face and gently coaxed him:
"Xiao, don't be afraid. You still have me and the baby. No matter who you are, we are the people who love you the most."
The two embraced as they watched firefighters rush into the fire with water hoses.
Because the fire was extinguished in time, the fire in the forest was brought under control and did not burn a large area.
With nowhere to escape, Huang Ming suffered extensive burns and was taken to the hospital.
After emergency treatment, Huang Ming's injuries were brought under control, and he barely survived. However, he suffered burns to 80% of his body surface area and needed major skin grafting surgery; otherwise, he would not live much longer.
Just as Huang Ming was lying on the bed wrapped up like a mummy, Lu Wanqing led everyone into the ward.
"You..." Huang Ming's face was half covered up, and his throat was sore from the smoke that he could only utter a few syllables.
He really wanted to say that Lu Wanqing had deliberately framed him, and that he was going to sue her.
But Lu Wanqing laughed and said, "You don't know, do you? As soon as you got into trouble, your subordinates ran off with your money. You're penniless now. If I hadn't paid your medical bills, the hospital wouldn't have admitted you!"
Huang Ming pounded the bed with his bandaged arm, heartbroken but helpless.
At this moment, Huo Xiao stepped forward, came to his bedside, and said expressionlessly:
"Do you really want to live?"
You have extensive burns. If you need skin grafts, it will cost at least one million. Even if someone helps you pay, doctors won't risk performing this kind of surgery without a family member's consent.
Huang Ming was drawn in by his words and stared at him blankly, becoming more and more alarmed the longer he looked.
Why does this person look so familiar?
My God, his eyes are exactly the same as Yu Meifeng's. He is actually my son?
"Yun...er..." Just uttering this one name took Huang Ming all his strength.
Huo Xiao shuddered, feeling dizzy.
He hadn't heard that name in so long!
Considering that Huang Ming could call him by his childhood nickname, Huo Xiao asked everyone to leave the room so he could speak to him alone.
Everyone already knows that Huang Ming is his father, and he was left to make his own choice.
After everyone left, Huo Xiao questioned Huang Ming about many things, only to receive fragmented answers.
It's simply that they can't think about anything else in order to make money; isn't that how all children grow up?
As for Zhou Ling framing him, he genuinely knew nothing about it.
When he learned that Huo Xiao was now the general manager of Wenwan Group and in charge of the group's business, he was first shocked, and then he showed a smile that was more like crying.
