This is a net that has been laid out for ten years, and it is finally tightened today.
The noisy living room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. Some people gasped, some gasped heavily, some flapped their noses rapidly, and some were so shocked that they forgot to even breathe and watched this scene with bated breath. After a while, I realized that I was almost breathless, so I immediately gasped for air.
Everyone remained motionless, maintaining their original postures, as dull as wax statues.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Huo Shaoheng, who had just entered.
His back is straight and tough, his profile is lean and powerful, his sculpture-like three-dimensional facial features show a rich shadow under the crystal lamp hanging in the living room, and his handsome and unsmiling face has a brilliance that cannot be offset by bright crystals.
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to restrain herself so as not to show her obsessed look in public, but the pride in her heart was overflowing.
Unlike the surprise of these people, Gu Nianzhi was not surprised at all by Huo Shaoheng's move. Although she did not know Huo Shaoheng's move in advance, it did not prevent her from being proud of him.
She knew that with Master Huo's wealth and ability, how could he just let her make a scene
There must be a backup plan!
"... You refrigerated Luo Xinxue's body ten years ago?! - This is impossible!" Bai Jinyi couldn't believe it, her eyes were as big as copper bells, like a pair of bull's eyes, "The person who was cremated was who?!"
Huo Shaoheng ignored Bai Jinyi at all, pretending she didn't exist, and didn't answer her questions.
Only then did Huo Jialan react. With a look of surprise and joy, she rushed to Huo Shaoheng's side, raised her head and asked: "Brother, did you really refrigerate my mother's body?! Where is it? Where is it?! I want to see it. Look at her!”
To actually steal the body from the Huo family's funeral and keep it refrigerated, this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do, right
Huo Shaoheng was only eighteen years old at the time and had not yet joined the army. He was just an ordinary student in the military academy. How did he do it? !
"Auntie's body has been handed over to the police. It will be sent back to you for reburial after the case is concluded." Huo Shaoheng's voice was very calm and without any emotion.
Huo Jialan clenched his fists, did not dare to ask any more questions, and retreated silently.
Huo Guanchen was also surprised. He had been silent since Song Jinning came in, and then he said with a serious face: "Shao Heng, what do you mean?"
"That's the literal meaning." Huo Shaoheng replied calmly and turned to look at the police: "Take the person away. If you have anything to say, go to the police station."
"Yes, Chief!" Huo Shaoheng's orderlies and the policemen he brought responded in unison.
Ignoring Bai Jinyi's shock and resistance, a policeman took out handcuffs and cuffed her, then put a paper bag on her head with only her eyes exposed, and pushed her out.
Bai Changhui watched his sister being taken away by the police. He was so anxious that he wanted to rush to Huo Shaoheng to argue with him, but Bai Yueran grabbed his arm and said, "Uncle, don't be impulsive yet."
"But...!" Bai Changhui pointed in the direction of the door anxiously, "How can your aunt be able to bear it at her old age?!"
"I just went to the police station to ask questions and assist in the investigation. Is the third uncle worried that the police station will use torture to extract a confession?" Bai Yueran said with a smile, "We don't know what is going on with my aunt, so we should listen to the lawyer. And her fiancé, Admiral Huo, is here, so don’t worry blindly."
Huo Guanchen's eyes dimmed and he glanced at Song Jinning quickly. Seeing her turning back to talk to Huo Shaoheng as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but feel even more bitter and embarrassed.
Bai Jiancheng looked embarrassed and apologized very much to Mr. Huo next to him: "What happened today is really one after another, which is dizzying. Please forgive me for resigning first. I will come to see Mr. Huo again after the New Year." Please forgive me."
"Minister Bai is serious. The Bai family has a big business, and it is normal to have a few incompetent people." Mr. Huo sighed with a straight face, "I believe the police station will give our Huo family justice."
Bai Jiancheng was the Minister of Imperial Administration and the first cabinet member under the Prime Minister of the Imperial Government.
The Prime Minister did not come to Huo's house today. Bai Jiancheng almost represented the entire cabinet and the Prime Minister. Together with General Ji, who represented the military department, and Speaker Long, who represented the parliament, he was the three highest-ranking people among all the guests.
"That's for sure. Mr. Huo doesn't have to worry. With a grandson like Mr. Huo, the Huo family doesn't have to worry." Bai Jiancheng praised Huo Shaoheng, as if the Bai Jinyi that Huo Shaoheng had just designed to capture had nothing to do with him.
Bai Changhui felt that he was not as experienced as his elder brother and could not apologize for being slapped in the face. He turned away angrily and left first with his wife and children.
Bai Jiancheng apologized to his third brother and his family before leaving with his wife.
His only daughter Bai Yueran walked last. Before leaving, she said to Huo Shaoheng: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry for what happened to your family, but I believe that with your character and ability, you will be able to get to the bottom of the whole matter. Don't wrongly accuse a good person, and don't let a bad person go. - You and I are both soldiers, and it is our duty to defend this country and defend the legal rights of citizens."
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "Don't worry, Director Bai. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice and the police department to maintain judicial fairness. Of course, the military will not interfere."
Bai Yueran left with peace of mind after receiving Huo Shaoheng's assurance.
As soon as she left, most of the guests present also took their leave.
The Huo family's New Year's reception was originally an engagement ceremony, but it turned into a fight between new and old love. In the end, the groom-to-be's son took action and sent the bride-to-be to the police station, which was really eye-opening for them.
Everyone retreated in twos and threes, whispering to each other, talking and laughing in low voices.
But when they walked to the door, they were faced with Huo Shaoheng's orderly and life secretary who were armed with ammunition.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were both standing at the door in military uniforms. They said with a smile to the guests who were leaving: "Please delete all the photos and videos about the Huo family taken on your mobile phone."
Nowadays, it is so convenient to take photos and videos with mobile phones. Among these dignitaries, there are inevitably some people who like to take private photos of others and upload them to the Internet to gain attention, so they must be informed not to keep any photos or videos.
"Oh, no, no, no, how could it be?" the guest laughed, while secretly deleting the photos and videos on his phone.
Since the Huo family greets each other face to face, if they don't give him face, the problem will be serious.
With Huo Shaoheng's strong appearance today, the dignitaries in the upper class of the empire are bound to re-examine the strength of the Huo family and Huo Shaoheng.
Due to his career, Huo Shaoheng has been keeping a low profile within the empire for the past ten years and has never emerged. His reputation is much louder overseas than at home.
Only this time, he did not continue to be a silent shadow as before, but stood up and showed his existence and abilities to the world.
This is also what Admiral Ji requested.
Because Huo Shaoheng can't just be the boss of the Special Operations Department forever. His path is longer than what he can see now.
Zhao Liangze smiled as he watched the guests pass by him one by one, occasionally grabbing one or two guests and saying with a smile: "...your mobile phone?"
The customer he stopped was someone who had photos and videos on his cell phone that had not been deleted.
With Zhao Liangze, a computer proficient in the Internet, these guests could not hide anything from him.
Besides, the mobile phone numbers of these people are originally within the monitoring scope of the Special Operations Department. Unless they delete them on their own initiative, Zhao Liangze can enter their mobile phones at any time and take a look around and teach them how to behave.
…
Soon, only the Huo family and a few close friends were left in the Huo family's living room.
Neither Admiral Ji nor Speaker Long left. They stood beside Mr. Huo on the left and right, looking at Song Jinning the whole time.
Song Jinning was not familiar with these two people and had only a vague impression of them. However, after sixteen years, Admiral Ji and Chancellor Long had aged much, and they were no longer the same as the two capable middle-aged men in her memory.
Huo Shaoheng introduced her: "This is General Ji of the Supreme Council of the Military, and this is Speaker Long of the Upper House of Parliament." He paused in the middle and then said: "My grandfather's laboratory was built with their strong support. Yes, the experiment that caused the accident was also directly authorized by the Supreme Council of the Military Ministry."
"The group of our upper house of parliament voted unanimously to pass it." Speaker Long said with a smile, and then looked at Song Jinning, "Do you still recognize me?"
Song Jinning shook her head helplessly: "I just woke up..."
Gu Nianzhi's heart was moved, and she hurriedly said: "Aunt Song has just woken up and is still very weak. I have been worried that Aunt Song will not be able to support herself if things get so messed up tonight."
Song Jinning knew as soon as she heard this that Gu Nianzhi was reminding her not to tell her about her amnesia.
This may affect the hearing of the case.
In order to prevent the Bai family from taking advantage of the situation, Song Jinning also planned to keep silent about her condition. She did not take the initiative to mention it, but just rubbed her temples: "I am really tired today. I want to take a rest."
Huo Shaoheng stepped aside and said, "Then let's go back first."
"Where are you going?" Mr. Huo lowered his face and asked Huo Shaoheng angrily: "This is your home. Today is New Year's Eve. Where are you going?"
He was probably so angry that he took a breath in his chest and broke out into an earth-shattering cough.
Huo Jialan hurriedly came over and gave Mr. Huo a pat on the back. He said, "Brother, please don't leave today. New Year is coming soon. Do you have the heart to leave your grandfather alone?"
The Zhang family, who had been huddled in the corner of the living room and watched, came up at this time.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, help grandpa go upstairs first." Huo Jialan resumed his usual dignified and generous manner, took care of the Huo family's affairs skillfully, and said to Mr. Huo: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will not let the lobby Brother left."
"Stop." Huo Shaoheng took two steps forward slowly, interrupted her, stretched out his arm and moved back, "Someone, lock Huo Jialan up."
