Chapter 1911: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (115)
Fourth Master Huo seemed to have thought of something and glared at Huo Heng with a ferocious expression.
“You swapped the medicine and now you even want my life?”
The corner of Huo Heng’s lips twitched. Seeing that Fourth Master Huo was about to spit fire, he simply said, “Fourth Uncle, you’re really a fool.”
Huo Heng got up and left.
Fourth Master Huo was stunned by Huo Heng’s words. When he reacted, he cursed loudly, “Huo Heng, don’t think that you will win just because you framed me and sent me to jail! A brat like you won’t be the head of the Huo family!”
Fourth Master Huo was detained again.
Four people were detained in the detention center. Fourth Master Huo slept in the lower bunk beside the door.
As he lay on the bed, gooseb.u.mps appeared on his arms when he thought about Huo Heng calling him ‘Fourth Uncle’.
He did not know if he was hallucinating, but when he called him ‘Fourth Uncle’, he felt like he had seen Huo Ze!
Because of Huo Heng’s words, Fourth Master Huo did not sleep properly that night.
The Old Master had almost had a stroke and someone had pushed the blame on him.
However, Huo Heng’s words made him feel like it wasn’t Huo Heng who had done it.
If it wasn’t Huo Heng, could it be…
Fourth Master Huo did not dare to think too much.
They were brothers, so no matter how much animosity they had, they wouldn’t threaten each other with death!
Nothing happened at night. Fourth Master Huo felt that Huo Heng was merely scaring him, so he slowly relaxed.
The next day.
They were brought to a closed field to relax, then it was time to eat.
After dinner, Fourth Master Huo went to the washroom.
There were several people standing outside the washroom. Seeing Fourth Master Huo enter, one of them followed secretly inside.
Fourth Master Huo had just pulled up his pants when suddenly, an arm wrapped round his neck.
A sharp thing was pressed against his neck.
Fourth Master Huo wanted to say something, but his neck was strangled tightly and he could not make a sound at all.
That person moved very quickly and the sharp thing moved toward his neck.
Fourth Master Huo felt pain as a warm and sweet liquid gushed out.
He widened his eyes, struggling with all he had.
However, the other party seemed like a professional. When he attacked him just now, the latter had struggled too strongly and had not died. If he had tried again…
Fourth Master Huo felt his vision turn dark.
Was he going to die here just as Huo Heng expected?
The other party was pulling him tightly and he could not even look at who it was.
Just as Fourth Master Huo was waiting for the fatal blow to come, a groan suddenly sounded.
The person holding tightly to Fourth Master Huo’s neck was. .h.i.t and fainted.
Fourth Master Huo turned around, and everything went black before he fainted as well.
…
When Fourth Master Huo woke up, he was lying in the hospital.
Huo Heng stood by the bed and looked down at him. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked like he was smiling but also not.
No matter how stupid Fourth Master Huo was, he understood that if Huo Heng really wanted to kill him, he would not be standing here, let alone lying on the bed.
Fourth Master Huo closed his eyes, thinking in despair that Third Brother was really f*cking ruthless!
Was it because he used a secret to threaten him?
“Did your men save me?” Fourth Master Huo opened his eyes and looked at Huo Heng, his voice extremely hoa.r.s.e.
Huo Heng’s lips twitched. “It’s good that you know that.”
Fourth Master Huo couldn’t help but look at Huo Heng in a different light. He didn’t expect him to have placed someone in there.
“Third Brother is the one who wanted Father to have a stroke?”
Huo Heng did not comment.
Fourth Master Huo’s neck still felt a fiery pain and he cursed a few times.
“Fourth Master, you will still be brought back in at night. I will only save you once.”
Seeing that Huo Heng was about to leave, Fourth Master Huo stopped him. “Can you prove to Old Master that Third Brother wants to harm him?”
“Yes, but I want to know what kind of secret Third Master has with you.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you.”
Fourth Master Huo told Huo Heng about how Third Master went to meet an old woman every year.
“That woman is in B City. I secretly got someone to monitor that old woman. That old woman has a lover and that lover is running a KTV. I heard that old woman gives her lover money from time to time. I don’t know what relations.h.i.+p Third Brother has with that old woman, but you can investigate it in detail!”
After Huo Heng left the ward, he immediately asked Jian Ming to go to B City.
Earlier, when Fourth Master Huo used that old woman to threaten Huo Third Master, Huo Third Master had sent people to B City to hide the woman.
He had always been careful and did not think that Fourth Brother would know about the existence of that woman.
Naturally, Jian Ming could not find that woman in B City. He found the KTV’s boss, but he was told that the boss had had been driving while drunk, and the car had fallen into the river and he ahd drowned.
Huo Heng didn’t believe that it was an accident.
That man must know some secret to be chosen as a sacrificial lamb.
Huo Heng went to B City personally and checked the surveillance cameras of the KTV.
He realized that the KTV owner would drive out everyday. Half an hour later, he would bring an armed woman over and would drive her away in the middle of the night.
A woman who was fully covered was probably the old woman Fourth Master Huo was talking about.
Huo Heng seemed to have thought of something and instructed Jian Ming, “Think of a way to get the memory card for the KTV owner’s car dash camera.”
Jian Ming soon understood Huo Heng’s thoughts and nodded. “Okay.”
…
After two days of recovering the data, a recording in the memory card caught Huo Heng’s attention.
The woman had drunk quite a bit that night and might have been drunk, so she confessed to a lot of things.
“So what if the Huo Family in Harbor City is rich? They’re still raising my son, aren’t they?”
“You probably don’t know, but my husband used to be the Huo family’s chauffeur. When Old Madam Huo was pregnant with her third son, she wanted to drink soup in the middle of the night and asked my husband to go to a soup shop halfway across the city. It rained heavily that night and my husband got into a car accident.”
“He died on the spot.”
“That d.a.m.ned old woman. She thought she was the wife of a rich man and didn’t regard servants as people. If she wasn’t so greedy in the middle of the night, do you think my husband would have died?”
“Do they think that giving me a sum of money can erase the hatred in my heart after they buried my husband?”
“When my husband died, I was seven months pregnant. The old woman was seven months pregnant too, so I had an evil thought.”
“I found out that the old woman needed to stay in the hospital after giving birth. Using the money they gave me, I booked a room beside her… Maybe G.o.d was helping me too. On the day she gave birth, I was in the same delivery room as the old woman.”
“I bribed the doctors there and gave the money they paid me to that doctor. I asked the doctor to transfer my child under the old woman’s child’s name.”
“When I was discharged, I took the old lady’s child and starved him for two days before leaving him at the park.”
…
Hearing the woman’s hateful words, Huo Heng couldn’t help but feel a chill run up his spine.
So, the woman was the Third Master’s biological mother?
And the real Third Uncle had been abandoned in the park. No one even knew if he was still alive!
