Wen Li's words silenced the room.
Even Huo Yinghuai was shocked.
He was certain that Wen Li wouldn't lie, and he had been sending people to search for his aunt's body all these years, but to no avail.
At that time, he was still studying and did not have the same control over the company as he does now. He only heard about his aunt's situation from the police.
So he went in the wrong direction from the very beginning?
Huo Yinghuai's eyes grew darker and darker, his gaze as cold as ice as he stared directly at Liu Ruxin.
Huo Yinghuai instructed his assistant to call the police, and Liu Ruxin panicked instantly.
"Don't call the police." Liu Ruxin had already lost her composure and murmured again, "Please don't call the police."
Huo Yinghuai remained silent, but silence can sometimes be more lethal than words. Liu Ruxin felt a chill run down her spine and swallowed hard.
She tried to explain, "Ying Huai, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense. How could we do something so cruel? Besides, if the media finds out, it might affect the Huo Group."
"No need for you to worry about that." Huo Yinghuai lowered his eyes, his tone indifferent: "The Huo Group can afford this loss."
Liu Ruxin's face turned pale as she tried to find her husband, Huo Weiguo, in the crowd.
Then they saw Huo Weiguo sneaking towards the venue's entrance. Just as he was about to leave, Huo Yinghuai suddenly asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Huo Weiguo had been in the crowd the whole time and hadn't appeared.
He was afraid of his nephew, Huo Yinghuai. Although he caused trouble openly and secretly, it was because he had the support of others. When he was alone with Huo Yinghuai, he couldn't help but tremble.
Huo Weiguo slowly turned around, a fawning smile on his face, and slowly walked over: "I, I'm going to the restroom."
After saying that, Huo Weiguo's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at Liu Ruxin and scolded, "Who told you to talk nonsense? Do you know who Miss Wen is? She is the eldest daughter of the Wen family! Apologize to me right now!"
The recent incident involving the Wen family's real and fake daughters caused quite a stir online and in high society.
After learning about this, many wealthy businessmen, fearing the same thing might happen, secretly underwent paternity tests, and unexpectedly, they actually found out a few of them were indeed positive.
But unlike others, the Wen family doted on their newly returned daughter.
Liu Ruxin then realized what a stupid thing she had done!
"I……"
She looked at Wen Li, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly.
Ke Wenli stood behind Huo Yinghuai, only half of her fair and delicate face showing, her dark eyes looking extremely innocent.
Liu Ruxin gritted her teeth inwardly, unable to suppress her resentment.
Wen Li is a young lady of the Wen family, why wasn't that made clear from the beginning?
"Miss Wen, we have offended you greatly. Murder is a serious matter, so please don't say such things carelessly."
Huo Weiguo was slightly more intelligent than Liu Ruxin.
He attributed Wen Li's words to her being a child who didn't know any better. After all, everyone knew that Wen Li came from a small town, and her words inevitably made people think that Wen Li was just retaliating because Liu Ruxin had offended her.
Huo Weiguo felt smug when he saw that everyone's eyes had changed.
But since Wen Yanchu was still there, they didn't dare offend the Wen family too much, so they said, "Miss Wen comes from a small place, so Xinru and I won't hold it against you..."
"Who cares if you care or not?" Wen Li suddenly said, her gaze falling on the police officers entering the venue. "The police will find out as soon as they go to your house to investigate."
The man leading the group appeared to be around thirty years old. He wore his uniform meticulously, had a slightly sharp jawline, and long, narrow eyes that conveyed a sense of aloofness and dominance.
Who called the police?
Helian Zhao strode over and glanced at the wealthy businessmen in the meeting room who were frequently featured in financial newspapers.
Huo Yinghuai stepped forward and said, "I was the one who had someone call the police."
Helian Zhao looked Huo Yinghuai up and down. He saw that Huo Yinghuai was an extraordinary man. The suit he was wearing was worth several years of his salary. Moreover, everyone's eyes were on Huo Yinghuai. This man must be the host of the banquet.
He Lianzhao was relatively polite to this wealthy upper-class man, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Officer, it's a misunderstanding!" Huo Weiguo stepped forward, a guilty smile plastered on his face: "My wife upset the child, which is why there was a misunderstanding."
"I'm not lying."
Wen Li said sternly, "The blood on your hands may have been washed away when you killed them, but the karma left on you two can never be washed away."
After saying that, Wen Li's watery eyes were full of determination: "The body is stored in the freezer in the secret room of his villa. You can search it."
Helian Zhao stared at Wen Li, then suddenly asked, "How can you be so sure?"
"I……"
Suddenly, Wen Li thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat.
How could she forget everything in her excitement?
The police aren't like Huo Yinghuai; they can't just believe everything she says.
Well, that's bad. They might end up locking themselves in before they even find the body.
Wen Li's eyes darted around, and she stammered, "I... I dreamt about it. Last night, Huo Yinghuai's aunt appeared to me in a dream!"
The venue fell silent once again.
Huo Weiguo realized he had been tricked and instantly flew into a rage: "Wen Li, I understand you're from a small town, but you accuse me of murdering my wife just because of a dream! I, Huo Weiguo, have lived an upright life, and I never expected to be slandered by you in my middle age!"
However, after she finished speaking, I saw Wen Li's mysterious little eyes.
"Officer, you saw it yourself, it was just a child being naughty, I'm innocent!" Huo Weiguo almost cried as he spoke.
However, Helian Zhao ignored the other party, his deep, pool-like eyes looking at Wen Li, and said, "We must respond to any call. Since we've already responded, of course we should go to her home to check on her."
Huo Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and said, "There's no secret room in my house. This girl just made it up."
"If that's the case, what are you afraid of?" Helian Zhao suddenly turned around, his dark eyes scrutinizing Huo Weiguo, his voice cold and stern: "Or is it that you have something to hide?"
