Chapter 565: Chapter 536: Meeting, Disclosure_1

Just as the information they gathered, besides calling her foolish, he didn’t know what else to describe Huo Yingqi.

The people of the Huo Family were all quite intelligent; how did it come to be that there was a problem with Huo Yingqi!

"It really is as such. No wonder Dad always said that our family is unfortunate," Huo Zhekun said coldly, with a laugh. The tragedy that struck the Huo Family was all because of Huo Yingqi, or perhaps because of the Huo Family’s Main Wife.

It was their repeated compromises that had let Huo Yingqi walk further and further down the path of stupidity.

It would have been fine if she was the only foolish one, but she also dragged down others, implicating the entire Huo Family.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjun felt even more guilt. In the future, he wouldn’t have such a sister!

"Big brother, don’t cry, crying is useless," Huo Yingjie said. "Zhou Yuanyuan is just a catalyst; there must be other people or families behind this."

Huo Yingjun rubbed his face. Yes, crying now was indeed useless.

At the very least, his second uncle and younger brother were still out there, capable of making moves. Perhaps the Huo Family still had a chance to make a comeback.

"Some of the intelligence I hold reveals that Zhou Yuanyuan has connections to the Zheng Family," Huo Yingjun said. "I suspect that it is the Zheng Family who masterminded this affair from behind the scenes, along with the Feng Family and other forces who are at odds with the Huo Family, ready to kick us while we are down."

"Right!" Huo Yingjie nodded. "Big brother, take care of yourself while you’re inside. Dad and I will definitely get you all out as soon as possible."

The Zheng Family was the sworn enemy of the Huo Family. The Huo Family rose too quickly and had become invincible to the Zheng Family, so they resorted to this cruel and ruthless strategy.

"Now, all our hopes rest with you," Huo Yingjun said, and then he wrote a few special symbols on the table, asking them to make use of the secret lines he had in his possession.

Every member of the Huo Family had their own secret lines.

Some were arranged by the Huo Family, and some were developed by themselves.

Now that Huo Yingjun couldn’t go out, those secret lines couldn’t be utilized; they could only be passed on, hoping those people could assist the second uncle and younger brother to exonerate the Huo Family as soon as possible.

"Rest assured, big brother," Huo Yingjie said. "If those above really wanted us gone, when Mom and Dad and I arrived in the Capital City, we would have been controlled immediately, but that didn’t happen. This indicates that those in power are waiting for the Huo Family to produce an irrefutable reason and evidence."

Huo Zhekun and Huo Yingjun, after hearing this, thought carefully, and indeed it was so!

The grandparents, two old revolutionaries, were locked up, but when the second uncle’s family came to Yanjing, they were not captured nor was their freedom restricted. This was also a signal from those above.

Those letters indeed resembled the handwriting of the grandfather, but throughout history, forging handwriting and royal decrees was nothing new. One can’t condemn an old hero just based on these letters, especially not for a household like the Huo Family.

Three generations of the family had made tremendous contributions; they couldn’t just be condemned so easily.

Hearing Huo Yingjie’s words, Huo Yingjun’s eyes brightened, and he nodded, saying, "Second brother, you’re right. This time, we are relying on you."

"Right!" Huo Yingjie nodded again. "You must take good care of yourself."

In order to live freely, the Huo Family must possess power.

Huo Yingjie was not particularly passionate about power, but he wanted to spend a lifetime with He Tiantian, which required facing all sorts of challenges.

Therefore, he needed to solve these challenges.

Although he could kill those people silently, he couldn’t keep on killing forever!

This was not good! Tiantian did not like it!

Therefore, he needed to cultivate a proxy, and Huo Yingjun was the best candidate.

"Mmm, I will," Huo Yingjun said, "As a grown man, it doesn’t matter to me, my health is still good. Second uncle, second brother, Huanhuan is pregnant, and she’s not yet three months along, which is unstable. I’m worried about her..."

Huo Zhekun and Huo Yingjie looked at each other upon hearing this news.

This would be the Huo Family’s fourth generation, experiencing a detention facility before even being born.

"Yingjun, don’t worry, your second aunt has already gone to see Huanhuan. Later, we’ll have your second aunt bring back some warm clothes and some food for Huanhuan," Huo Zhekun comforted, reassuring Huo Yingjun.

While the uncle and nephews were talking on this side, Jiang Lifang had also met with Zhao Huanhuan on the other.

Apart from looking a little pale and thin, Zhao Huanhuan’s spirits were still good.

"Second aunt, when did you come to Yanjing?" Zhao Huanhuan was very excited to see her second aunt and teared up.

From the incident up to now, aside from her brother, her parents from the Zhao Family had only come to see her in secret and brought some things, no one else had come to see them.

"We arrived yesterday. The Huo Family Old Mansion has been sealed off, and we still don’t know where your grandparents are being held. It wasn’t easy for us to find out about this place," Jiang Lifang said, apprising Zhao Huanhuan of the situation outside.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huanhuan felt even more distressed when a sudden wave of nausea hit her, prompting her to quickly cover her mouth.

"Huanhuan, your second uncle and Yingjie are here now, and they have already started looking for solutions, so don’t panic," Jiang Lifang consoled, knowing after all that the Huo Family had implicated Zhao Huanhuan.

Suppressing the nausea, Zhao Huanhuan felt a bit better and then apologized, "I’m sorry, second aunt, for causing you concern."

"Are you pregnant?" Jiang Lifang, a doctor, guessed Zhao Huanhuan’s condition upon seeing her like this.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded, "A little over two months, not yet three."

"Give me your hand; I’ll check your pulse," Jiang Lifang instructed, who wasn’t an expert in traditional Chinese medicine but had learned some techniques for feeling the pulse.

Zhao Huanhuan extended her hand so Jiang Lifang could examine her.

Even though she was also a doctor, one could not self-diagnose effectively, and she couldn’t ascertain the condition accurately by herself.

After taking the pulse, Jiang Lifang nodded and smiled, "It’s a strong child! Huanhuan, the most important thing for you right now is to take care of yourself. Three of us are here for the outside world. Believe that it won’t be long before we can take you back home."

Zhao Huanhuan nodded, "I’ll remember that, second aunt."

Her parents had also come to tell her secretly that even if the Huo Family were to fall into trouble, they wouldn’t make things difficult for a pregnant woman like her; after all, she was just a doctor and hadn’t been married into the Huo Family for long. It would be easy for her to extricate herself, all she needed to do was to divorce Huo Yingjun.

But Zhao Huanhuan did not want to do that; she loved Huo Yingjun and was willing to share both joy and hardship with him.

"Alright, I’ll go back and prepare some warm clothes for you and see if I can find someone to take care of your meals," Jiang Lifang said, unable to help with anything else; she did her best to take care of Zhao Huanhuan.

"Second aunt, there’s no need to go to such trouble. Actually, no one here is making things difficult for me. I’m alone in a room, with three hot meals a day, and I can eat my fill," Zhao Huanhuan explained. Instead of worrying wildly, it was better to calm down and protect the child in her womb.

Zhao Huanhuan hoped that this child, who had not yet come into the world, wouldn’t have to disappear from it.
