At this moment, the eldest sister of the Huo family was feeling extremely uneasy. The young maid was her subordinate, and she wasn't sure if this person would keep her secret, especially since the maid was locked up in the Huo family's prison.
Under torture, there were a hundred ways to make a person talk.
As long as one followed the clues, her misdeeds would be discovered.
"Alright, that's all for today. Huo Cheng will continue to be under house arrest."
This time, it was actually Father Huo who issued the order. Huo Yan immediately felt that it was unfair. Clearly, all the evidence pointed to Huo Cheng, but after Mother Huo asked the young maid a few questions, Father Huo immediately changed his mind.
Huo Yan secretly clenched her fists. Did Father still favor Huo Cheng?!
Once again, a large group of people arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry. For Huo Cheng, it didn't have much of an impact.
After everyone left, Huo Cheng turned on his computer.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" The eldest sister of the Huo family was having a tantrum at this moment.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, don't be angry. What's there to be angry about?" The second brother of the Huo family began to console her.
"Not be angry? You weren't there. You don't know what happened this morning. Father and Mother are being so partial to Huo Cheng. It's really unfair. No matter what big mistake he makes, he can be easily forgiven."
The eldest sister of the Huo family was so angry that she spoke without thinking. While throwing things around, she said whatever came to her mind.
"Hey, eldest sister, it's not that Father and Mother will always side with Huo Cheng. The last time Huo Cheng brought that woman back and violated the family rules, didn't Father and Mother still punish him? This time, the theft of the treasure is such an important matter. How could Father and Mother still be partial to Huo Cheng?"
The second brother of the Huo family said calmly, having his own agenda.
"Is that relic really that important? I think it's just an ordinary relic." The eldest sister of the Huo family said somewhat dismissively.
"Eldest sister, you don't know. This relic is of great significance to our family."
Although he said so, secretly, Huo An had long been disgusted with his eldest sister. She was good for nothing but causing trouble, and she was so stupid that she didn't even know the significance of the family treasure. He felt it was a shame that she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family.
"Eldest sister, listen to me. This relic belonged to a highly enlightened monk. By chance, an ancestor of the Huo family obtained this relic."
"So what? What makes this relic so precious?" Huo Yan questioned.
"It all started after that ancestor obtained the relic. After that, the ancestor's business has been going smoothly, and the business has been growing bigger and bigger. Without the foundation back then, how could we have achieved our current scale?"
"Does this relic have any special effects?"
Facing his eldest sister's curiosity, Huo An slowly explained to her. This was not something that could be explained in one or two sentences. As he was explaining, Huo An suddenly felt strange.
This shouldn't be the case. As the eldest daughter of the Huo family, Huo Yan shouldn't and couldn't be unaware of these things. Why did he have to explain everything to her? Did she do this to test him?
When the second brother of the Huo family looked at his eldest sister again, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
However, all of this went unnoticed by the eldest sister of the Huo family.
"What are you planning to do next, eldest sister?" After the explanation, Huo An suddenly asked.
"What do you mean, second brother?" There was suspicion in the eldest sister of the Huo family's eyes.
"Of course, I'm talking about that maid. Don't you plan to deal with her? As far as I know, she is your subordinate."
I don't know if it was just Huo Yan's imagination, but she always felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude in Huo An's words.
"About that, second brother, don't worry. I will handle it properly. She won't be able to say anything even under torture." Huo Yan said calmly.
"Eldest sister is really amazing. The people around you are so loyal." Huo An flattered her insincerely.
"What loyalty? Look at the scared look on that young maid's face. As soon as she entered the prison, she spilled the beans before even being tortured." Huo Yan held her wine glass and looked at Huo An contemptuously, as if questioning his inability to understand such a simple truth.
"So, what are you going to do next, eldest sister?" Huo An asked deliberately, pretending to be curious.
"Humph, next, next, of course, I'm going to arrange an 'accident' for that young maid. By then, there will be no witnesses. Do you really think they can convict me just based on Mother's words? Hahaha."
Huo Yan was secretly proud of herself. However, people who are too confident tend to become arrogant. Huo Yan didn't realize that the real danger at this moment was not Huo Cheng, but herself...
After getting all the information he wanted, Huo An left. After leaving Huo Yan's room, Huo An took out the recording pen from his clothes and pressed the switch.
As Huo Yan had planned, her subordinate disposed of the young maid, leaving no witnesses.
Huo Cheng continued to be locked up. Huo Yan thought that she just needed to add a little more fuel to the fire in front of Father and Mother Huo, and Huo Cheng would not be able to live as comfortably as he was now.
Just thinking about the fact that Huo Cheng was still locked up in his own room instead of being sent to the dungeon made Huo Yan angry. She remembered that when Huo Cheng had crippled her right - hand men back then, she had already sworn that she would make Huo Cheng's life miserable.
Now, she was still not satisfied with the result. She wanted Huo Cheng to pay the price for what he had done back then.
At this moment, Huo Yan didn't realize that she was about to lose her mind.
There was still a storm waiting for her.
Huo Zhen, who had been staying out of the matter from the beginning, now approached Father and Mother Huo.
Huo Zhen showed Father and Mother Huo a surveillance video, which was from the fourth floor.
After watching the video, Father and Mother Huo fell into deep thought.
"Zhen'er, you can go back first. Your mother and I have our own plans for this matter."
Father Huo spoke first. Huo Zhen naturally understood and left on his own. He had completed what he needed to do. Now it was up to Father and Mother Huo.
As for Huo Cheng, Huo Zhen didn't believe that he would just sit there and do nothing. He believed that his fourth younger brother must have already come up with a countermeasure. He had just come to add a little more fuel to the fire.
Huo Zhen returned to his own building contentedly.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Dr. Yang smiling at him, which gave him goosebumps for no reason.
He turned around, walked out of the door, and then slammed the door shut. This was Huo Zhen's series of reactions after seeing Dr. Yang.
Dr. Yang helplessly rubbed his forehead and began to wonder if he was too ugly or looked scary. Why did the third young master run away so quickly as soon as he saw him? This was really not logical.
He had come because he was worried about Huo Zhen's health, but he didn't expect Huo Zhen to treat him like this. It was really heartbreaking. Dr. Yang covered his chest.
But although he was sad, his hands didn't stop. Dr. Yang quickly packed his things and left.
Based on his understanding of Huo Zhen, he knew that no one could force this person to do something he didn't want to do.
