Despite her complete trust in Huo Jinning, Zhao Qiuying still harbored a lingering doubt deep down.
So she decided to send someone to investigate Xia Qing and her brother. The investigation, however, yielded a result that was utterly astonishing.
It turns out that Xia Qing and Xia Tian, relying on their relationship with the Huo family, swindled and cheated people everywhere. They not only stole many people's business and wealth, but also made those who were bullied dare not speak out for fear of offending the powerful Huo family.
What's worse, there are many more similar egregious acts...
"I really underestimated Xia Qing! It seems that what Ningning said is very likely to come true..." Zhao Qiuying's chest heaved with anger.
"Alright, Madam, don't get angry and hurt yourself." Huo Shan quickly comforted her gently, patting her back lightly to help her catch her breath.
"Luckily we noticed in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Huo Shan exclaimed, still shaken, expressing his lingering fear.
Although the Huo family holds some status in Beijing, there are still hidden families that are even more powerful than the four major families, such as the Fu family and the Bai family.
The most crucial point is that the Huo family has always upheld integrity and honesty for generations, and has never used its power for personal gain. This is the foundation upon which the Huo family has established itself and stood tall in the world.
Otherwise, given the Huo family's substantial financial resources, if they wanted to seek certain convenient channels or get things done through back channels, many people would surely be willing to help them.
"Honey, how should we deal with this situation?" Zhao Qiuying asked softly, her voice filled with worry.
"Let law enforcement handle this matter and let the law determine their guilt."
Huo Shan never considered resolving the issue privately, since some things had not yet actually happened.
"Yes, my husband is right. However, our Huo family is not one to be bullied. We can ensure that they receive the harshest judgment," Zhao Qiuying said indignantly.
"Alright, alright, everything as you say." Huo Shan was quite fond of Zhao Qiuying's huffy demeanor.
Unable to suppress his inner impulse, Huo Shan suddenly kissed her.
"you......"
Caught off guard, Zhao Qiuying was about to struggle and resist when Huo Shan stopped her in time, and the words she was about to say were swallowed up in an instant.
...
The law enforcement officers acted swiftly and efficiently, and the Xia family's property was completely sealed off in just three days.
This news came as a bombshell, shocking the entire city.
Holding her phone, Huo Jinning hurried downstairs, repeatedly calling out, "Mom, Mom..."
Upon hearing the sound, Huo Shan's heart tightened. He hurriedly stood up from the sofa, took two steps towards the stairwell, and met Huo Jinning, who looked panicked.
"Don't rush, tell me slowly! What exactly happened?" Huo Shan asked anxiously.
Huo Jinning took a deep breath to calm herself down, then looked at her father with slight surprise and said, "Dad, you're actually home today?"
It should be noted that Huo Shan had been busy dealing with thorny issues at the company recently because Huo Nanchu was away on business. Logically, he should be at the company right now.
"Well, nothing urgent happened at the company today, so I'm taking the day off. Tell Dad quickly, what happened that made you so flustered?" Huo Shan asked with a concerned look on his face.
[Oh no, my image is ruined.]
[Waaah, I'm so embarrassed!]
[How could I have gotten so excited and forgotten?]
[What do I look like with this loud and boisterous manner?]
I'm no longer the good girl I used to be.
"Sixth grader, I want to die right here."
"Master, you have no image to begin with." Little Six delivered the final, fatal blow.
Hmph, I'm ignoring you.
Huo Shan and Zhao Qiuying thought to themselves, "You've long since lost your image here."
However, upon hearing Huo Jinning's thoughts, both of them regained their composure and even breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that nothing serious has happened, yet they still have the leisure to care about their appearance.
Then, the two of them sat back down on the sofa without prior arrangement.
"Dad, I just happened to see what happened to the Xia family. Xia Tian and Xia Qing have both been sentenced to prison, and the entire Xia family has declared bankruptcy."
"That's why I came all this way to tell Mom that the Xia family is no good at all. I hope Mom won't be soft-hearted and will go to save them."
"Especially that Xia Qing, I've disliked her ever since we first met." Huo Jinning said, not forgetting to whisper sweet nothings to her mother, Zhao Qiuying.
But at the same time, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she looked directly at Zhao Qiuying.
[I'm really worried that Mom will save those two scumbags.]
[Anyway, I'm not letting my mom go.]
[These two men deserved to die; they're only being imprisoned. That's already showing them mercy.]
[But it's strange, this didn't happen in the original book!]
[Who did the good deed by letting them in so early?]
[If I found out, I'd have to kowtow to him/her, no, that won't do. Or I'd have to treat him/her to a meal, but that still won't work. I don't have much money anyway. Forget it, I'll just silently wish him/her well in my heart.]
[Yes, it's a happy decision.]
[Hehe, I'm so smart.]
This is a good thing.
Huo Shan and Zhao Qiuying were both charmed by Huo Jinning's cuteness.
