Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
For three consecutive days, the investigation team did not make any progress. This made the shareholders of the Yuan faction overjoyed. It seemed that they had not reached the end yet. According to the agreement, Huo Qingxiao had to give the results of the investigation before work ended. He had to announce whether Huo Shengyuan should continue to be suspended. Did they forget that the reason for Huo Chengyuan’s suspension was not simply because he knew that Tongquxing medicine was poisonous, but because of the heartless words he said to comfort the victim?
However, in the eyes of the shareholders of the Yuan faction, that was one thing.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, the Huo Corporation’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting was held as scheduled. The Huo Corporation’s investigation team reported the results of the investigation to all the shareholder. They did not find any data from the third experiment, nor did they find any concrete evidence to prove that Huo Shengyuan knew about the toxicity of the drug in advance.
“It’s been three days of humiliation. Is that enough?” At this moment, Chairman Zheng knocked on the smooth marble conference table with his right hand and said, “Director Huo, this is your son. You really don’t feel sorry for him at all.”
‘ An investigation is an investigation. How can this involve humiliation?” Huo Qingxiao said.
“I Imow you’ve put in a lot of effort to pave the way for your eldest son, but I really can’t stand it when you’re so biased.” Chairman Zheng sneered. “You may not know this, but all the criticism and humiliation that Shengyuan suffered today was because of Huo Jiuxiao’s scheme.”
“Director Zheng, you can’t say things carelessly.”
“Won’t you know if I’m talking nonsense or not when the witness comes out to explain?” With that, Director Zheng gestured to the assistant at the door and let the trembling Manager Zheng walk in front of the shareholder. “He was instructed by Huo Jiuxiao to fake the audio and spread it everywhere! You can say it yourself.”
Manager Zheng looked at the shareholders timidly. He was so nervous that he was almost speechless. After a long time, he stammered, “Au…l was the one who released the audio. Because my child accidentally took Tongquxing medicine, I went to beg President Huo for help, but he refused to bend the rules for me. This made me hate him. In addition, Huo Jiuxiao contacted me at this time and said that he had a way to help me treat my child, but his request was for me to frame President Huo. I had no choice but to agree to him, but now I regret it. I really regret it. I shouldn’t have helped the tyrant.”
After the shareholder heard this, whether they were from the distant faction or not, they all had complicated expressions on their faces.
“What evidence do you have?” Director Xu asked.
“I have the original audio file. You can check the time my account was published. Then, my son is receiving treatment at Ruikang Hospital.” “But that doesn’t prove that Huo Jiuxiao asked you to do it, does it?”
“Enough!” Chairman Zheng interrupted Chairman Xu’s questioning. “The truth is right in front of us. Huo Jiuxiao has gone so far to fight for power. Isn’t the answer obvious? How many years have we worked with Shengyuan? Don’t you trust his character?”
“So? Are you planning to pull out the second young master of the Hunts and push the eldest young master into it? What benefits does this bring to the Huo Corporation?” Director Xu asked firmly.
“Indeed, there’s no benefit to it. That’s why all the board members are here today. We’ll let Director Huo make a statement. We don’t want to chase after anyone. I just want Director Huo to say that Huo Jiuxiao will never step into the Huo Corporation’s door in the future. He will never have the right to inherit the Huo Corporation. Then, we’ll clarify this matter. We’ll forget about Huo Jiuxiao. However, if Director Huo still refuses to come to his senses, then we can only destroy Huo Jiuxiao’s reputation.”
“This is a threat!” Director Xu slammed the table and stood up.
“Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is the bandit. Huo Jiuxiao let someone else have a handle on him. Who can he blame?” Chairman Zheng snorted and said, “No matter what, shouldn’t Director Huo give us a definite answer today? We don’t want to keep holding on to a deaf person. We just want the Huo Corporation to be prosperous and stable. Obviously, before Huo Jiuxiao appeared, everything was perfect. Now, which of the Huo Corporation’s matters wasn’t caused by him? For the benefit of the shareholders, my request is reasonable, don’t you think so?”
“That’s right!” “Indeed!”
“You guys!” Director Xu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. However, thinking about it carefully, the shareholders of the Yuan faction had always been arrogant.
The most important thing now was Huo Qingxiao’s attitude.
Everyone looked at Huo Qingxiao. Huo Jiuxiao had suffered such a huge setback this time. They didn’t believe that Huo Qingxiao could still remain indifferent.
They had thought that Huo Shengyuan was already in a hopeless situation, but they did not expect him to turn the tables and take the opportunity to fight for the inheritance.
Unfortunately…
They were going to be disappointed.
Huo Qingxiao was silent for a few minutes. Then, he suddenly raised his head and said calmly, “Since it’s Huo Jiuxiao’s fault, let’s make it public.”
Everyone was stunned. The shareholders of the Yuan faction were already prepared for Huo Qingxiao to compromise. Who knew that he would not play by the rules this time?
“What’s wrong? Isn’t that what you all hoped for? Tomorrow, the Huo Corporation will hold a public briefing. Let this Manager Zheng tell everyone about Huo Jiuxiao’s evil deeds. This way, Huo Shengyuan will be cleared.”
Everyone was confused, or perhaps they were unhappy because Huo Qingxiao was not threatened by them.
“Since Director Huo doesn’t care, then we don’t care either. It’s better for

Shengyuan’s reputation to make it public.” Chairman Zheng said sarcastically. “Then let’s wait and see tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, we can end the meeting.”
Huo Qingxiao was too calm, so calm that it was suspicious. However, this was Huo Qingxiao’s deliberate attitude. How could he allow them to be arrogant and not allow others to be a little nervous?
Everyone suspected that Huo Qingxiao would make a fuss about Manager Zheng, so Director Zheng directly asked Manager Zheng to stay at his house tonight to avoid any unnecessary complications. But Huo Qingxiao didn’t make any movements at all because he was in charge of watching the show. Oh, right, he was also in charge of making tomorrow’s scene bigger.
After the meeting ended, no one knew what Huo Qingxiao was thinking. Chairman Xu was a little worried, so he chased after him. “Director Huo, do you really want to make this unproven truth public?”He asked. “Wasn’t this a little too careless and too much of a bully? Just find someone to take the blame and say that it was Huo Jiuxiao who instructed them. Is the Huo Corporation now the shareholders of their Yuan faction making the call?”
“Since this is what they want, why not fulfill their wish? Anyway, this is the only outcome today.” Huo Qingxiao then walked away..
