Old Master Huo looked at Xia Cha, who was sweating and panting.
She must have run toward his room.
Although he had not spent much time with her, he could see that she was not a materialistic girl.
She suddenly wanted luxury items again and barged in without knocking. She must have something to tell him.
Old Master Huo smiled. “Alright, you saved me. You can have anything you want.” With that said, he waved his hand and glanced at the butler and the servant wearing the pin. “The two of you can go out first.”
The butler was speechless.
The maid was speechless.
Although Old Master Huo was smiling at Xia Cha, he spoke to the butler and servant authoritatively.
When only Old Master and Xia Cha were left in the room, he waved his hand at Xia Cha. “Little girl, do you have something to say to me?”
The head of the Huo family was indeed smart.
Xia Cha walked up to Old Master Huo and told him what she had seen in the small kitchen.
“I’m not sure. I just think that it’s not a good thing based on my sixth sense. I hope Grandpa Huo won’t blame me.”
Old Master Huo frowned.
He called the butler in.
“Pour a few drops of medicine into the small fish container.”
The butler followed his instructions and poured a few drops of medicine into the small fish container.
After about ten minutes, although the fish was swimming, it had slowed down significantly.
Old Master Huo asked the butler to take the medicine to the Huo family’s private hospital.
Two hours later, Old Master Huo found out about the results.
Something had been placed in the medicine.
If Old Master Huo drank that bowl of medicine, he could have gotten a stroke that night.
Even if he didn’t die, he would collapse onto the bed, unable to speak or move.
Old Master Huo was furious.
He immediately instructed the butler to subdue the servant with the hair pin.
The maid wearing the pin had worked in the Huo family for more than ten years and had always been honest.
Back then, her family had been caught in a flood and she had been the only one left. She had almost starved to death, but it was Old Master Huo who had saved her. He had even arranged for her to work as a servant of the Huo family.
Old Master Huo had not expected her to do such a thing.
Old Master Huo asked the butler to interrogate her overnight, but the servant wasn’t willing to say anything.
The butler contacted Xia Cha and she provided the information about the pin, asking the butler to check on Tang Yue.
After all, the butler was with Old Master Huo. Soon, he found out about the relationship between Tang Yue and the maid.
It turned out that Tang Yue was the maid’s long-lot daughter. The two of them had just reunited not too long ago. It was only when the butler used Tang Yue’s life to threaten the maid that she confessed that Huo Heng had asked her to drug him.
Naturally, Old Master Huo didn’t believe the servants’ one-sided words. He got the butler to find Huo Heng.
Huo Heng had not expected that the woman sent to his side this time was to frame him.
Fortunately, he was already on guard.
He had sent someone to follow Tang Yue, and he immediately handed the video of her to the butler.
The person Tang Yue had met in the video was Fourth Master Huo.
Fourth Master Huo had even given Tang Yue a few bags of medicine, saying that he wanted her to go according to the plan.
When Old Master Huo saw the video, he immediately called Tang Yue and Fourth Master Huo to the old mansion.
Old Master Huo knew that his sons would use underhanded methods to compete for assets. However, he never thought that they would try to kill him!
He wanted him to be paralyzed and die quietly!
As Old Master Huo used the cane to hit the ground, Fourth Master Huo’s heart immediately thumped.
He glanced at Tang Yue and secretly gave her a meaningful glance.
He reminded her not to betray him even if she had to die.
Tang Yue had never seen Old Master Huo before. Seeing him exuding the aura and dignity of a socialite, she was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Old Master Huo turned and hit Fourth Master Huo’s shoulder. “B*satrd, kneel down!”
Fourth Master Huo knelt on the ground and looked at Old Master Huo as if he knew nothing. “Father, what did I do?”
Old Master Huo asked the butler to play the video Huo Heng had sent.
Tang Yue wanted to push all the blame on Huo Heng, but she swallowed her words back.
She never expected that the video of her meeting with Fourth Master Huo had been secretly recorded by Huo Heng.
She thought that Huo Heng had been completely smitten by her recently!
Fourth Master Huo opened his mouth, wanting to say something when he heard Old Master Huo shout, “You actually want your father to have a stroke and die in bed? I actually raised such an inhumane son!”
Fourth Master Huo stared at the Old Master, whose expression was ferocious and eyes red. His body trembled nonstop.
But that was not right. What did the Old Master say just now? That he wanted him to have a stroke and be paralyzed?
Fourth Master Huo knelt down and took a few steps forward. “Dad, Dad, you’ve misunderstood me. I-I didn’t want you to be paralyzed. Yes, it was Tang Yue who arranged for her mother to drug you, but that drug will only make you weak. I was going to give you an antidote after the doctor checked on you so that you would regain your trust in me.”
“How could I take your life? I’m not that kind of person. You must have made a mistake!”
Old Master Huo pinched his nose bridge. He did not believe Fourth Master Huo’s words.
He had been disappointed by the E20 project before, but now, his son was capable of doing such a despicable thing!
Old Master Huo got up with the support of his cane. He closed his eyes and said coldly, “Send him to jail. Trying to kill his father is enough for him to be detained for the rest of his life!”
Hearing this, Fourth Master Huo blacked out.
“Father, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’m not that ruthless…”
“Tang Yue, tell my father quickly that I didn’t give you that drug…”
Tang Yue was about to faint from fear. She didn’t know what medicine Fourth Master Huo had given her. All she knew was that Fourth Master Huo was going to be thrown into jail for the rest of his life and she wouldn’t have anyone to rely on anymore.
No, she still had someone.
Huo Heng!
Old Master Huo did not want to hear another word from Fourth Master Huo as he took the elevator upstairs without an expression.
There were already investigators in their uniforms outside. They escorted Fourth Master Huo and Tang Yue away.
At the entrance, Tang Yue saw a cool sports car parked there.
She knew that it was Huo Heng’s sports car.
Tang Yue seemed to have seen her last savior. She did not know where she got her strength from, but she actually managed to break free from the investigator’s grip and ran toward Huo Heng.
Huo Heng was sitting in the car with the car window closed. He was wearing dark sunglasses.
Tang Yue used her hand to pull the window down. She looked at Huo Heng’s handsome and smooth face, but his facial features were cold and indifferent. She said pitifully, “Young Master Huo, save me. Save me. I was also bewitched at that time. They say a night with husband and wife is a hundred days of grace. Seeing that I have such a good relationship with you recently, can you save me once?”
Huo Heng’s expression did not change at all when he heard Tang Yue’s words.
He lifted the corner of his lips, his expression slightly cold. “A night with you? I’m afraid Miss Tang must have misunderstood something. I’ve never been with you before.”
Tang Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“How is that possible? We’ve been together almost every day recently and you said that you like me very much!”
Huo Heng did not speak. The back door’s car window lowered and a male voice similar to Huo Heng sounded. “Darling Yueyue, I like you very much. You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”
Tang Yue’s teary eyes widened when she heard this.
She looked at the man sitting behind the sports car. The man’s face was full of holes and he looked so ugly that she felt like vomiting.
She cupped her mouth, not daring to believe that she had been with such an ugly man all these days!
“No!” Tang Yue shouted.
Huo Heng smirked. “If Miss Tang doesn’t believe me, I have a video with me.”
Tang Yue’s body swayed. She was about to reach out her hand to grab Huo Heng, but she was stopped by the investigators.
Tang Yue got into the car, crying and making a ruckus.
When Fourth Master Huo was taken away, he glanced at Huo Heng.
He really suspected that the Old Master’s medicine had been swapped out by Huo Heng’s men.
…
Fourth Master Huo was detained.
No one from the Huo family came to visit him when something had happened to him.
It was then that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
He took off the watch in his hand and gave it to an investigator. “Call Huo Third Master for me and tell him that I want to see him.”
“If he doesn’t come, just say that I will reveal all of his secrets!”
Soon, Huo Third Master came to visit Fourth Master Huo in the evening.
“Third Brother, save me. I really didn’t want Old Master to be paralyzed. It must be that Huo Heng!”
Huo Third Master looked at Fourth Master Huo with a calm and indifferent expression, his voice gentle and clear. “Fourth Brother, no matter who did it, Father is sure that it was you.”
“I thought you asked Tang Yue to get close to Huo Heng because you wanted to inquire about some work matters. I didn’t expect you to extend your reach to Father.”
Fourth Master Huo was agitated. “I didn’t! I really didn’t!”
Huo Third Master stood up and stroked the creases on his suit. “You can deny it, but the evidence is there. Old Master is determined to detain you, so I can’t do anything either!”
Seeing that Huo Third Master was about to leave, Fourth Master Huo quickly grabbed his sleeve. “Third Brother, if you don’t help me, I will tell everyone your secret. I know that you didn’t get married all these years because of an old woman.”
Huo Third Master shook off Fourth Master Huo’s hand and a trace of sharpness flashed past his eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Hahaha, are you nervous? If you don’t help me, I’ll send someone to send a message to the Old Master! Let the Old Master investigate your relationship with that woman!”
Huo Third Master narrowed his eyes. No emotions could be seen on his gentle and handsome face. His lips twitched as he chuckled coldly before he turned to leave.
Fourth Master Huo did not expect Huo Third Master to leave. He cursed angrily.
Fourth Master Huo was detained again.
Not long after, the staff said that someone wanted to see him.
Fourth Master Huo thought that Huo Third Master was going back on his words and there was a trace of smugness in his eyes.
However, when he came out and saw that it was not Huo Third Master, but Huo Heng, Fourth Master Huo’s expression changed immediately.
“What are you doing here? Brat, I fell into your hands this time, but I’m the Old Master’s biological son after all. He won’t really lock me up for the rest of my life!”
Huo Heng looked at Fourth Master Huo, whose expression was ferocious. He sat on the chair and said with a slight raise of the corner of his lips, “If you want to go out, you have to live. I wonder if you can see the sun tomorrow?”
Fourth Master Huo’s pupils constricted. “What do you mean?”
