Chapter 1074: You Forced Me

Huo Xiao was in a coma because of his illness. Huo Ci had been secretly investigating the reason behind the Old Master’s relapse, and he had finally confirmed the cause. He was prepared to personally verify this possibility.

The Huo Corporation was located on Chang Le Street, which was the most prosperous city in the capital. Every inch of land was worth gold. It was an entire office building, showing off its incomparable power and status.

Huo Zhen, the Second Son of the Huo family, was in charge of the Huo Corporation’s headquarters. His leg was broken, but it didn’t affect his brain and business skills. He was the son that Huo Xiao liked the most. If nothing went wrong, he would be the future head of the Huo family.

The beautiful secretary knocked on the door of the CEO’s office and only entered when she was allowed in. She looked at the man respectfully. “CEO, there’s a package for you.”

Huo Zhen was looking at the documents and said without looking up, “Leave it to personal assistant Wang.”

The pretty secretary hesitated. “It’s from Sixth Master.”

Huo Zhen’s expression suddenly changed. His eyes turned dark and his voice became sinister. “Bring it over!”

The beautiful secretary respectfully brought the package in and placed it on his desk as instructed. She then bowed and left, closing the door to the CEO’s office.

The moment Huo Zhen opened the box, he let out a terrified scream. He looked at the bloody hand that was placed in the ice block in front of him. His eyes were ferocious and filled with bone-piercing hatred. He roared angrily through gritted teeth, “Huo Ci!”

The hand in front of him was a child’s hand and it was very small. The black mole on its little finger was clearly reflected in his eyes, making him almost go crazy. It was Lin’er’s hand. The hand in front of him belonged to Lin’er. He swore that from now on, he and Huo Ci would never be able to live under the same sky!

When the phone rang, Huo Zhen’s red eyes were filled with murderous intent. He picked up the call and heard the person on the other end laughing.

“Second Brother, did you see the gift I gave you?”

“Huo Ci, just you wait. I’ll definitely tear you into pieces!”

“Looks like you saw it. Are you satisfied, Second Brother?”

“What exactly do you want? Xu’er and the rest are just children. They still call you Sixth Grandpa!”

“Second Brother, you’re right. My Xiaoqi is just a child, so he should address you as grandfather. I’ve always liked to reciprocate. It’s not like you don’t know that.”

“Huo Ci, you forced me!”

“I forced you to kidnap Xiaoqi? Did I force you to kill Dad?”

“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about. Stop slandering me.”

“I don’t have any evidence with me. It’s okay if you don’t admit it, Second Brother. But I’ve always been a man of my words so let’s not beat around the bush. As your younger brother, I want to give you a proper death. Take a look at the top right corner of the package.”

Huo Xiao looked over with a dark expression. There was a rope and a small bottle. His expression was scary. “What do you mean? Do you think I caused Dad to die?”

“Isn’t that so? That afternoon, you were the only one who returned to the old residence. Second Brother, you shouldn’t force me to do anything to you. As your younger brother, I want to save you some dignity. If I were you, I would definitely choose that medicine. I would definitely not let you feel any pain.”

“What if I don’t choose?”

“Then what you’ll see next will be your grandson’s body.”

“What’s this got to do with my grandson? I can always have another even if he’s dead.”

“If Second Brother continues to be stubborn, I can only hand you over to Jun Shiyan to handle. I’m sure you like his methods more!”

After Huo Zhen hung up the phone, his expression was ferocious. He pushed everything on the table away and vented his anger and hatred. “Huo Ci, I won’t admit defeat!”

Even if his grandson was dead, he could ask his son to produce another, it was not a big deal. As long as the Huo family and the shares transfer agreement was still in his hands, he was not afraid of anyone.

Huo Ci did not expect him to be so heartless. His lips curled into a mocking sneer. The person who had abandoned his own biological grandson was indeed his second brother. The negotiation failed, and the last bit of face he was left with was completely torn. He did not want to leave him with an intact corpse and let him die with dignity. He called Jun Shiyan and said, “You can deal with Huo Zhen!”

The next day, the news of the current president of the Huo Corporation, Huo Zhen, passing away due to a sudden illness appeared on the headlines of various financial newspapers. The news was also trending on Weibo, and many people expressed their condolences.

The day before Huo Zhen’s funeral, Huo Xu and Huo Lin were sent back to the Huo Family.

Huo Xiao was in a coma in the hospital. Su Xiyin should be the head of the household, but she only cared about her husband. She was not in the mood to care about anything else. The responsibility of presiding over Huo Zhen’s funeral fell on Huo Ci.

The news of Huo Zhen’s sudden death spread like wildfire in the capital. He was a strong and healthy man who had never fallen ill or suffered a disaster. His sudden death due to an acute illness would naturally arouse suspicion. The most controversial theory was Huo Ci being the culprit.

After this incident, the other members of the Huo family all chose to protect themselves and kept quiet. No one dared to say anything as they were afraid that they would end up like Huo Zhen. Survival was the most important thing.

“Big Brother, I’m begging you. You have to give Ah Zhen an explanation. He’s usually in such good health, how could he suddenly die of an illness?” Zhang Yuechan looked at Huo Ting, her eyes red from crying. In just two days, she felt like her world had collapsed and her tears were about to dry up.

“Sister-in-law, Ah Zhen died of a sudden illness. The forensic doctor has already verified it. My condolences.” Huo Ting sighed and looked sorrowful. “Ah Zhen died. As his elder brother, I’m also very sad. He died naturally. How do you want me to explain to you?”

“No, no.” Zhang Yuechan looked like she had gone mad. Her eyes were bloodshot as she gritted her teeth. “It’s Huo Ci. Huo Ci must have caused his death. Big Brother, Ah Zhen did not die in peace. You must provide an explanation for his death!”

“Sister-in-law, you can’t say such things carelessly. If you say that the Sixth Brother did it, do you have any evidence?” Huo Ting’s face was cold. “It’s fine if you say this in front of me, but in front of outsiders, I hope you can be tactful. If you say this in public, it’ll be a disgrace to the Huo family.”

The Second Brother’s death was not an accident. Everyone in the family knew that Sixth Brother had killed him, but so what if they knew? Even if they had evidence, what could they do to him?

“Big Brother!” Zhang Yuechan immediately knelt down. At this point, she had no choice but to beg him. “Ah Zhen is your biological brother. Now that Dad isn’t around, you’re the head of the Huo Family.. If I don’t look for you, who else can I look for?”
