Chapter 454: Chapter 365: Criminal Huo Song

The System’s voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.

Having intended to mock Huo Song, Jiang Ning paused and chose to check the mission first.

However, upon looking, Jiang Ning’s expression froze.

She looked at the mission page and then at Huo Song, who was walking up to her.

The new mission... the criminal to be caught was actually Huo Song!

Nobody knew about the existence of the System in Jiang Ning, and Huo Song would have never thought that even the few secrets he had were about to be exposed in front of Jiang Ning.

Not hearing a response from Jiang Ning for a long while, Huo Song frowned and asked sternly, "What’s the matter? Can’t you even greet your father when you see him?"

Jiang Ning sneered outright, "What kind of father are you?"

Looking at Huo Song, who still wanted to put on a father’s air in front of her, she wondered where he got the face to do so!

"Did you raise me since I was little? Did I eat your food or spend your money? Think you’re worthy to be my father?"

Jiang Ning didn’t lower her voice, nor did she hide the mocking expression on her face.

Huo Song’s face turned angry, not understanding why, but he always felt that Jiang Ning looked at him as if she were looking at a piece of garbage.

Even on the night when Jiang Ning cut ties with the Huo Family, she had never looked at him with such a gaze.

After all, Huo Song was the president of a listed company. Aside from those high society individuals, who else wouldn’t respectfully address him as President Huo when they saw him?

Although the situation with Jiang Ning and Huo Miao’s identities had affected Huo’s as well, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and those small companies seeking cooperation with the Huo Family still had to act respectfully towards him.

And here was Jiang Ning, a junior, daring to look at him with such eyes?!

Not to mention that Jiang Ning was his daughter!

Huo Song was furious, his hand trembling at his side, as he said coldly and sternly, "Jiang Ning, you’re still young and ignorant of the severity of the world; once a person becomes arrogant, they fall faster than anyone else. Nobody knows what might happen tomorrow."

"You’re right," Jiang Ning replied, striking right at the heart of Huo Song and all the Huo Family members, "No wonder the Huo Corporation is about to go under."

Huo Song’s face twitched, and he couldn’t help but burst into rage, "You little bastard!"

The Huo Corporation was the accumulation of Huo Song’s lifelong struggles and his most important endeavor; he could not tolerate hearing it spoken of in such a way.

Let alone the fact that the one who dared to mock him was Jiang Ning, whom he had always looked down upon!

Huo Li, who had been unable to join the conversation, also couldn’t control the rage in her heart upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.

Having married Huo Song for decades, her life had flourished thanks to the company’s listing.

If the company went under, wouldn’t it mean that her good days were all coming to an end?

In the past two months, with the company’s issues weighing on him daily, Huo Song was deeply troubled, and Madam Huo was also anxious.

It wasn’t until recently that the crisis in the company seemed to have eased up a bit, but both Huo Song and Huo Li were still very busy, the redness and fatigue in their eyes indicating that the company’s situation was not optimistic.

Otherwise, Huo Song and Huo Li wouldn’t have lowered their heads to Jiang Ning.

But look at Jiang Ning, clearly family, yet unwilling to help even this much, even going so far as to curse the company to shut down.

This statement was like a slap in the face to Madam Huo!

Grabbing the handbag in her hand, Madam Huo raised her finger and yelled at Jiang Ning, "When I was giving birth to your older brothers, each and every delivery went smoothly, without any issues. Only your birth caused me agony for five or six hours! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fainted from exhaustion after giving birth to you, resulting in you being switched at birth."

"I always thought it was my fault, but now it seems you are nothing but a cursed wretch who brings misfortune to your own parents!"

Madam Huo’s sudden outburst took everyone by surprise.

Huo Li frowned and immediately told her to stop talking.

But Madam Huo was fuming with anger and wasn’t willing to listen to Huo Li; she pushed him away while shouting furiously, "If only we hadn’t brought you back that day! If it wasn’t for bringing you back, how could all these incidents have happened afterward!"

"Do you even know that because of you, we’re now the laughingstock when we go out? Even the company’s profits have significantly dropped. You feel no remorse, no thoughts of how to cooperate and help, instead you’re kicking us while we’re down, cursing the company at every turn? Why didn’t that couple just mistreat you to death..."

Before Madam Huo could finish her sentence, globs of sticky mucus suddenly fell from the sky, landing on her.

At first, she didn’t realize what had happened and swallowed reflexively.

It wasn’t until the stench in her mouth and the smell at the tip of her nose washed over her, and the shock and disgust on the faces of the bystanders became apparent.

Madam Huo reached up to touch and nearly fainted on the spot: bird... bird poop!

"Ptui, ptui, ptui!"

"Ptui, ptui, ptui!"

"..."

Madam Huo was on the verge of a breakdown, having never encountered something so disgusting and humiliating!

Three globs of bird poop landed on her face in succession, trickling into her mouth.

Madam Huo wished she could reach into her mouth to take out what she had just eaten, but as she stretched out her hand, she saw the sticky bird poop on her fingers.

The delicate and clean purse in her hand had been thrown on the ground long ago, and Madam Huo stood there, disregarding her image and spitting "ptui, ptui, ptui."

The other members of the Huo family had not expected such an incident to occur and frowned, shifting to the side, especially the twin brothers, who looked at their publicly embarrassed mother with eyes brimming with disdain.

Huo Li turned to Huo Miao and said indifferently, "Do you have any tissues? Go help her wipe it off."

Then, he said to the twin brothers, who wore looks of disgust, "Go to the nearby store and buy a few bottles of water."

As soon as he spoke, the twins, feeling embarrassed to stand there, turned and headed towards the convenience store not far away, as if one more second spent here was nauseating.

Huo Miao took the tissues from her bag, repressed her inner revulsion, and stepped forward to help.

Huo Song, who was initially very angry, walked aside with a dark expression, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and began to smoke, looking every bit the stranger who had nothing to do with Madam Huo.

For the moment, everyone ignored Jiang Ning, with even Huo Li frowning deeply and looking cold and intimidating.

Jiang Ning stood by, watching Madam Huo’s wretched state, and echoed Huo Song’s earlier words back at them, "Life is indeed thrilling. Don’t say tomorrow, not even today can we predict what will happen until the very last second."

Huo Song, with a darkened expression: "..."

Madam Huo, so disgusted she felt like throwing up her intestines: "Ptui, ptui, ptui."

She was furious!

Were those birds blind?

How could they not see such a big living person standing here?

Why did they poop on her face instead of Jiang Ning’s?!
