At this moment, Yun Shujing finally realized that it was Huo Jiuxiao’s trap again.
He allowed Lin Wanli to humiliate the Madam on the ship, but he blocked the signal, so no one could produce any evidence. The only thing the public knew was the last charity performance. Anyone with discerning eyes knew how humiliating this performance was to those people. However, to the outside world, because it was in the name of charity, the outside world did not know what kind of twists and turns were hidden. However, it was enough to lure Yun Shujing and the relatives of those people over.
Not only did Yun Shujing come over, but she also wanted to throw Huo Jiuxiao into the sea to feed the fish.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she had no way to deny that she was caught red-handed by Huo Qingxiao and the elders of the Huo Family ancestral hall. She could not do anything to Huo Jiuxiao, but Huo Qingxiao could openly divorce her.
However, it was obvious that this was not Huo Qingxiao’s goal. He did not intend to make things so bad from the beginning. He would not let Yun Shujing and his three illegitimate children take a single cent from him.
Yun Shujing’s neck was red from being strangled, and her face was red. Her protruding eyes were filled with hatred. She said with difficulty, “Qingxiao, Lin… Lin Wanli humiliated Zizhen like this, why did you pretend that you didn’t see it? If you protect your son and daughter-in-law, then what is your daughter?”
Huo Qingxiao let go of his hand and looked at Yun Shujing. Every word that came out of his mouth was filled with ruthlessness. “We all know why Huo Zizhen invited Lin Wanli to board the ship. Why are you still arguing with me?”
“Of course Zizhen wanted to help her sister-in-law expand her social circle. What’s wrong with that? You can’t doubt Zizhen’s sincerity just because someone said a few words, right? However, Lin Wanli humiliating Zizhen is irrefutable evidence.”
“What is humiliation? Asking her to engage in charity and sacrifice herself for charity was called humiliation? However, the outside world’s evaluation was very good. Just because Wanli’s method was a little novel, you wanted to throw her and Jiuxiao into the sea to feed the fish? I think the humiliation is fake. Taking advantage of this opportunity to deal with my son is your ultimate goal, right?”
Yun Shujing could not refute this.
“Dad, Lin Wanli killed someone. It’s not as simple as you think. Can you not be so biased?” Huo Zizhen could not take it anymore and said.
“Wanli, you killed someone?” Huo Qingxiao asked Lin Wanli.
Lin Wanli replied with a faint smile, “Dad, I don’t ever do anything illegal.”
“Lin Wanli, you locked Mrs. Liu alive in an iron cage and pushed her into the sea. How can you still lie with your eyes open? Do you think you still have a way out?”
“Huo Zizhen, the way you’re slandering me is a little too low. Alright, even if I killed someone, there will naturally be laws to punish me. What does it have to do with you and Yun Shujing? Wasn’t your mother prepared to kill someone to vent her anger just now?” Lin Wanli retorted, “Besides…”
At this moment, Mrs. Liu, who had been hiding behind the bodyguards, squeezed through the bodyguards and walked out.
“Isn’t Mrs. Liu standing in front of you alive and kicking?”
Huo Zizhen was shocked when she saw Mrs. Liu. She thought she had seen a
ghost.
“So, can you stop spreading rumors? Besides, you guys agreed to the charity performance yourself. How did it become me humiliating you? The Moon Breeze is not my cruise ship, and the staff on it are not my people. How can I threaten you?”
After Huo Zizhen heard Lin Wanli’s words, she scoffed coldly because she realized that she had been played by Lin Wanli. This b*tch did not kill anyone at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to send Mrs. Liu back to Jinzhou and work for her. Then, she took out a fake corpse to threaten them, but she had no evidence.
Perhaps there was evidence, but unfortunately, the phones and cameras of the guests on the ship were all burned by Yun Shujing. Then, the only evidence left was the charity performance. Because there was an internet connection at that time and the commotion was uploaded online. At this moment, Yun Shujing, who had been caught red-handed, wanted to punish the Huo Family’s legitimate child.
“You actually betrayed all of us.” Huo Zizhen said to Mrs. Liu, “Do you think you can escape unscathed? B*tch! If I’m questioned, you won’t die a good death either. When today’s matter is over, I’ll play you and Lin Wanli to death.”
Mrs. Liu did not expect to leave unscathed, so Huo Zizhen could not step on her sore spot at all. Her situation was different from Huo Zizhen and the others because she no longer relied on her husband. It was only a matter of time before they fell out. Therefore, she did not need face. She only needed a bargaining chip for the divorce negotiation, and her son already had this bargaining chip in his hands.
Therefore, at that moment, Mrs. Liu did not feel fear at all.
Because she knew that Huo Jiuxiao would not give Huo Zizhen any more chances.
“Is that so? Then I’ll have to wait and see.’
Huo Qingxiao immediately ordered his men to detain Yun Shujing and her daughter. Then, he walked to Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli. He turned around and faced everyone in the Huo Corporation. “The Huo Family’s matters will naturally be handled by the ancestral hall. As for the others, is there anyone else who wants to come out and settle the score?”
Huo Qingxiao directed these words to Director Zheng and Director Zhong.
However, the situation was clear. Everything that happened on the cruise ship could not be investigated. They did not forget that Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao’s phones were not destroyed. If they still had evidence against these people, then things would really be difficult to resolve.
At this time, they could only admit that they were unlucky. Anyway, there was still a long way to go.
“Director Huo, I hope that the matter on the ship will pass like this. Otherwise, if this matter blows up, it won’t be good for everyone.” Director Zheng said to Huo Qingxiao, “As for the future, there’s still a long way to go. We’ll see how things go.”
After saying that, Director Zheng got into the car and left with his listless wife.
The grudge this time was indeed huge. However, Master Xiao did it on purpose.
A qualified heir could not possibly distinguish between those who were beneficial to him and those who were a threat to him. Huo Jiuxiao pointed it out so that others could judge whether he was worth getting close to.
Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao openly humiliated those people. They were telling the capable and respected shareholders of the Huo Corporation their true attitude.
After Director Zheng and Director Zhong left, Huo Qingxiao looked at the elders in the ancestral hall and said, “Do you want to hold the trial tomorrow?”
“There’s no need to delay. Yun Shujing had restrictions on her, but she ignored the rules of the ancestral hall. She should be dealt with immediately. As for Huo Zizhen, we won’t be able to sleep or eat in peace if we don’t interrogate her tonight.” Uncle Zhong said.
At this moment, Huo Zizhen did not know that there was already a huge pile of evidence waiting for her in the ancestral hall.
She thought that she would at most be grounded like Yun Shujing, so when she was taken away, she even gave Lin Wanli the middle finger.
Some people were like this. They did not know that their death was coming..
