The four of them sat around the table. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive, leaving only the faint smile on Huo Yichen’s face and his relaxed gaze sweeping past the other three.
Faced with the three accomplices who had once conspired with Huo Xiuyuan to harm others, Huo Yichen’s expression was calm.
After a long silence, Li Shi, who had the most authority to speak, still spoke.
“You want support?” Li Shi said.
Now that Huo Yichen had something on him, the uncertain Li Shi looked at Huo Yichen calmly and probed him about his conditions.
Huo Yichen didn’t object or deny it. He looked at the pale Li Shi for a long time before chuckling. He bent forward and looked down at him.
“That’s only part of it.”
The leverage he had was heavier than Mount Tai. It could not be exchanged for just this bit of benefit.
Wang Quanguan and Zheng Qiguang, who were sitting at the side, looked at each other, their expressions becoming much more solemn.
Huo Yichen simply opened the document. “You should know how much Huo Hong liked Huo Yu.”
Then this document—” He stretched out his fingertip and lightly tapped the evidence. “It’s also up to you to decide where it goes.”
The fingertip seemed to have tapped on their hearts, and ripples spread from the inside out, extending to their nerves and limbs in fear.
Moreover, as far as I know, none of your hands are clean, right?”
Huo Yichen mentioned it casually.
However, his casual words were enough to make the three of them vigilant. Those who had done things with a guilty conscience naturally had a guilty conscience. Seeing that Huo Yichen could dig up everything they had done a few years ago, they were afraid even if he didn’t take out any evidence.
To be able to climb to this position, they naturally had some dirty things on their hands.
Zheng Qiguang, who had been silent all this while, said, “…I need time to make a decision.”
He was the first to reveal a wavering intention. These words attracted Wang Quanguan’s attention.
Facing the disbelieving gaze of his former friend beside him, Zheng Qiguang lowered his eyes and looked at the food in front of him, becoming silent again. There was no choice.
From the moment Huo Yichen invited them here, everything had been set up.
Zheng Qiguang had thought it through, but it didn’t mean that Wang Quanguan and Li Shi were the same.
“We can’t make a hasty decision on this matter,” Li Shi said.
Taking sides was not something that could be decided casually. Once he took the wrong side, it would be over. Looking at the imposing Huo Yichen in front of him and the evidence that was enough to crush him to death, Li Shi was overwrought for a moment and couldn’t think of a good way to deal with the situation in front of him.
Wang Quanguan habitually followed Li Shi. “I need to consider it too!”
“Sure.” Huo Yichen agreed readily.
He supported his fingertips on the table with his hands and spoke in a strategic tone, as if he had long expected the two of them to say this.
Huo Yichen supported his chin with his hands and estimated that today’s progress might end here. Then, he glanced at the darkening sky outside and immediately made a decision.
“Then let’s talk again in three days.” With that, Huo Yichen stood up and was the first to leave the private room.
He was still “under house arrest” by Huo Hong and couldn’t move freely.
However, after Huo Yichen left, the atmosphere between the three of them changed. It was as if a pot of oil had been poured into water.
“You really agreed to it!” Wang Quanguan was the first to be dissatisfied.
He glared at the quiet Zheng Qiguang, his tone simply as if he expected better from him.
Zheng Qiguang understood. “He has evidence.”
“It’s easy for Huo Hong to kill us,” he said again.
At this point, Wang Quanguan was about to become unyielding when he deflated again.
If they really became enemies, Huo Yichen would naturally not be able to kill them, but Huo Hong could.
Huo Hong’s name had become a malignant tumor in everyone’s hearts.
“But we hid the evidence very well.” Li Shi still cared about this.
Even Huo Hong didn’t notice anything a few years ago, but Huo Yichen managed to dig out some clues. Moreover, the information he took out frightened him.
From Huo Xiuyuan’s role to all of them, the conspiracy was clearly displayed on it. It was ironclad evidence that couldn’t be washed away no matter what.
Recalling what had happened back then, Huo Xiuyuan was in charge of tying up the loose ends among the four of them. At that time, when he swore that there would be no problem, everyone believed him.
Li Shi’s expression was solemn. “…We have to call Huo Xiuyuan out.”
Huo Yichen was not a trustworthy person.
Anyone could say something nice, but doing it was another matter.
The person in control now was Huo Yichen. Even if they chose to believe Huo Yichen now, as long as the evidence was still in his hands and the people who knew existed for another day, Li Shi would never be at ease.
No one could be sure that the time bomb would never explode.
The three of them immediately decided to call Huo Xiuyuan out together. Their tone was surprisingly solemn. In order to avoid being discovered this time, they disguised themselves and changed locations several times before gathering in a hotel.
“You know how to look for me now?” Huo Xiuyuan still felt that this was all there was to it when he entered.
However, seeing that their expressions were not right and knowing that Huo Yichen had found evidence to threaten them, Huo Xiuyuan’s expression changed.
Previously, when Huo Yichen told him about it, although Huo Xiuyuan was frightened, he didn’t see Huo Yichen take out any evidence. So, he didn’t take it seriously.
He didn’t expect him to really be able to find the evidence.
Huo Xiuyuan subconsciously touched the wound on his nose that had yet to heal. His expression turned cold for a moment, as if he was reminded of the pain of being pressed down and beaten up that day.
Li Shi looked at him and questioned, “You said that no one else would know about this.”
“What’s the point of saying this now?” Huo Xiuyuan was unwilling to admit that it was his problem.
In his opinion, there was definitely no problem with what he had done. He didn’t know where Huo Yichen’s evidence came from.
“Since Huo Yichen knows, shut him up.” Huo Xiuyuan sneered.
Clearly, this was not the first time Huo Xiuyuan had done such a thing. He was very familiar with giving suggestions.
He propped himself up with his hands and pretended to be disdainful to hide
the rapid heartbeat in his heart, revealing a confident appearance.
Huo Xiuyuan hissed like a venomous snake. “If we kill him, Huo Hong won’t
have to choose who inherits the company.”
He said it indifferently, but the excitement in his eyes flickered, making the
other three understand that Huo Xiuyuan was serious.
Only the dead would keep secrets forever.
Only when Huo Yichen died would the position of the heir land steadily on his shoulders. He would accept everything from Huo Hong without any doubt.
“You make it sound simple,” Wang Quanguan said.
His first sentence denied most of the possibility. “Huo Hong has been placing him under house arrest for this period of time. If we wait for him to go out, we have to wait at least until this month passes.”
They couldn’t afford to wait. Huo Yichen only had three days.
However, the fact that he could speak proved that Zheng Qiguang was still on their side and supported Huo Xiuyuan’s idea.
“Huo Hong has already lost a son. Even if Huo Yichen is a bastard child that he picked up, he’s still the heir he has set his mind on. Do you think he’ll give us a second chance?” Li Shi asked.
It was impossible for Huo Hong to make the same mistake twice.
Huo Yu’s death had always been a taboo in Huo Hong’s heart, and it was also a topic that no one dared to mention.
It was also because of this that the Huo Family’s security guards were increased a few times.
It was not an easy task to kill Huo Yichen..
