Chapter 186: 183. Cutting the Weeds and Eliminating the Roots

In truth, Siyan still hasn't truly figured out how things came to be; after all, the things she has experienced before are not enough for her to piece all of this together from these few scraps of information in such a short time.

However, she has discovered that this father of hers is becoming more and more mysterious!

Zhao Jingyu, meanwhile, shuddered; she is very clever, and if she weren't, she wouldn't have reached this position at her age.

Therefore, she now understands exactly what happened in the short moment just now, in the time it took to say a few sentences.

Especially that sentence Zhang Ran said softly to Huo Zhiyuan at the end, which made the way she looked at Siyan change entirely.

Holy crap!

If she really has to work under this person in the future, she will truly have to be careful, extremely careful; standing behind this person is a real Great Buddha, and the kind of Great Buddha that can cost people their lives!

After Huo Zhiyuan finished speaking, she saw Zhang Ran turn his head to look at Zhao Hu, and the look in her eyes as she watched Zhang Ran gradually changed, becoming somewhat infatuated; this is the Brother Zhang in her heart!

In truth, Huo Zhiyuan does not dare to truly reveal her heart before Zhang Ran; she is afraid of being rejected by Zhang Ran, and then Zhang Ran would avoid her, and in the end, she wouldn't even have a reason to stay by Zhang Ran's side.

Moreover, at this moment, Huo Zhiyuan already feels very satisfied; she has discovered that as long as she is with Zhang Ran, she feels very at ease, very relaxed, and even happier.

Actually, for her, this is already enough!

Huo Li has also fully reacted by now; looking at the look of desperation flashing in Zhao Hu's eyes, he knows that Zhao Hu is not joking with him, nor does he have any intention of scaring him.

At this moment, Huo Li has completely collapsed; he does not want to go to prison, but he wants to die even less!

"Second sister, no, Zhiyuan, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, spare me." Huo Li scrambled to crawl over to beg for mercy, but Zhao Hu's hands gripped him tightly and dragged him out without the slightest hesitation.

Sun Guilan and Huo San also wanted to rush over, but they were blocked by Zhao Hu's subordinates; the few subordinates are completely unable to understand what is happening at this moment, only feeling that something is not quite right.

Seeing that neither Huo Zhiyuan nor Zhao Hu has any intention of speaking, all of Huo Li's psychological defenses have completely collapsed.

"I confess, I confess, it was me, I participated in it," Huo Li shouted with snot and tears.

But even though he said this, Zhao Hu still had no intention of stopping.

Huo Zhiyuan also didn't speak, but everyone's gaze turned to Zhang Ran; Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, since he has confessed, let him stay in prison properly."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Zhao Hu felt a bit of joy in his heart, but he didn't show it in the slightest; perhaps Zhang Ran doesn't care about his thoughts, but He Yong would care about these things.

Zhang Ran walked in front of Huo Li, squatted down, and looked at him with calm eyes, asking, "Does that Huo Jiaxiong actually know about this matter?"

Huo Li hurriedly shook his head and said, "Jiaxiong really didn't participate, really, I swear!"

Zhang Ran's expression did not change in the slightest, and his tone didn't even change, "I am asking if he knows? Not if he participated."

Huo Li just wanted to say he didn't know, but he saw Zhang Ran's gaze, which was calm to the point of being cold, and he immediately choked up and couldn't speak.

"If you say he doesn't know, then this matter ends with you, but if he knows, or even has thoughts of revenge, then once I find out, don't blame me." Zhang Ran said these words very calmly, but precisely because of that, it made Huo Li feel incomparably terrified.

Huo Li suddenly understood Zhang Ran's meaning at this moment; in fact, regardless of whether Huo Jiaxiong knows or not, he should know right now that Zhang Ran's intention is to have him, as the father, personally send his son to prison.

However, the meaning in Zhang Ran's words is also very clear: as long as Huo Jiaxiong truly doesn't know, and won't have thoughts of revenge in the future, then Zhang Ran is willing to let him off the hook.

But Huo Li cannot guarantee it, because Huo Jiaxiong does know the situation; he had told Huo Jiaxiong, after all, just like Sun Guilan's idea, he also wanted to pass on the things taken from Huo Zhiyuan to Huo Jiaxiong.

And if before, Huo Li could only say the possibility of Huo Jiaxiong seeking revenge was fifty percent, after this plan that was already close to succeeding—where those riches were almost in their hands—suddenly falling through, it is different.

This will cause Huo Jiaxiong to develop a strong sense of loss, so Huo Li can guarantee that the probability of Huo Jiaxiong seeking revenge is very, very high.

"Jiaxiong knows the situation," Huo Li said in a low voice.

At this moment, Sun Guilan and Huo San were both filled with despair; their family has completely fallen, not one left.

In their hearts, they have never regarded Huo Zhiyuan and Huo Xin as their daughters, so their family is only Huo Li and Huo Jiaxiong.

Not to mention that daughter-in-law who was abandoned by them after they latched onto Huo Zhiyuan is not family either.

Zhang Ran looked at Huo Zhiyuan, and after discovering she had no objections, he looked at Zhao Hu and said, "Alright, go and report it to the police."

"Understood." After Zhao Hu responded, he left, and incidentally prepared to take the three of them, Huo Li, away.

However, Huo Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Who told you about the will?"

It was already at this point, so Huo Li had nothing left to hide, "It was Su Yu; some time ago when I was drinking, I met Su Yu, and it was she who told me."

After hearing this, Huo Zhiyuan stopped speaking; in fact, she had already guessed this answer, after all, Su Yu had already let it slip once years ago, so letting it slip again was nothing, though this matter was somewhat coincidental.

Zhao Jingyu suddenly remembered a time when Huo Zhiyuan asked her if she knew how her predecessor was fired; at the time, she said it was because she leaked some company secrets. Now that she thinks about it, it was actually Huo Zhiyuan's will, and no wonder Huo Zhiyuan fired her directly, and even reached out to other large companies and headhunters.

After Zhao Hu left with the three of them, Huo Li, Huo Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Brother Zhang, this will was established eight years ago; I intend to donate all these assets to the Yuanran Charity Foundation after I die. By the way, this foundation is one I founded."

She was afraid Zhang Ran would overthink it, so she explained it with that sentence.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's fine, actually this is also a good thing; taken from the people, used for the people, it's good to do more charitable deeds."

Siyan felt more and more at this moment that Huo Zhiyuan's feelings for her dad seemed to be more than just simple gratitude; even this Charity Fund was named using both of their names.

In the past, Siyan never imagined that this famous Yuanran Charity Foundation actually had a connection to their family.

Huo Zhiyuan looked at Huo Xin and said, "Lao San, things have already reached this point, if you want to blame someone, blame me."

Huo Xin said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Sister, how could I blame you? Actually, what you did is right; you were just a bit too kind before.

Moreover, they have never regarded us as daughters; the past sentiments have all been repaid, so you shouldn't have any psychological burden."

Finally, Huo Xin also comforted Huo Zhiyuan; for so many years, the money Huo Xin sent home was not small, not to honor her parents, but just to pay off debts, using money to buy back her own flesh and blood.
