Grandfather Huo wasn't an ordinary senior official. Although he had retired, he used to be the second-in-command of the Supreme Military Council.
His health wasn't something a sentinel could be responsible for.
The sentinel was taken aback. The other sentinel immediately said, "Since the senior official is ill, we can let them in immediately."
This was a special situation. It was fine even if they didn't have permission from the lieutenant colonel on duty.
Moreover, they had already gone through all the necessary procedures. It would be against the rules to stop these people here.
The two sentinels made a decision in an instant.
They returned to the sentry post at the entrance. One called the official residence to inform them that they had let them in. The other went to press the button to raise the bar.
Soon, the thick and heavy crossbar that blocked the entrance of the Special Operations Forces Headquarters was raised.
Grandfather Huo's driver immediately stepped on the gas and sped inside.
…
Gu Nianzhi had just arrived at Song Jinning's door on the third floor when Zhao Liangze received the call that the Huos had already entered.
She didn't know what Huo Shaoheng was talking to Song Jinning inside. She couldn't just barge in. She only knocked on the door and asked through the intercom, "Auntie Song, is Huo Shao inside? There's something I need to inform him about at the entrance of the headquarters. "
Huo Shaoheng was listening to Song Jinning talk about the mysterious text message data on Uncle Huo Guanyuan's private phone.
Song Jinning even turned on the computer to show him the pictures when she got to the part where she got excited.
Huo Shaoheng was also stunned. He began talking with Song Jinning and time passed without him noticing.
It wasn't until he heard Gu Nianzhi's voice through the intercom that Huo Shaoheng remembered he hadn't brought his earphones or phone.
They were preparing for New Year's Eve dinner and had just changed. Zhao Liangze was by his side, so Huo Shaoheng didn't bring these things.
Song Jinning looked up from the computer and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Is that Nianzhi's voice? Is there something? "
"There should be." Huo Shaoheng walked to the door and opened it to let Gu Nianzhi in. He asked her, "What's wrong? What happened at the entrance? "
Gu Nianzhi saw Song Jinning look up at her and panicked. However, she still had to say what needed to be said. If she hid it now, it would be truly embarrassing if Song Jinning was caught off guard.
"It's … It's Grandfather Huo who brought his family here for New Year's Eve dinner." Gu Nianzhi blurted out everything in one breath. "They're already at the main entrance. The sentry over there asked if they should be let in. "
Huo Shaoheng's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. He took his left hand out of his trouser pocket and pressed his thumb against his index finger. He folded his hand behind his back and said dryly, "Not just anyone can come in here."
Song Jinning understood Gu Nianzhi's words and immediately realized that Huo Guanchen was coming. Although she was unhappy and didn't want to see him, Grandfather Huo was Huo Shaoheng's grandfather, and Huo Guanchen was Huo Shaoheng's father. If they wanted to spend the New Year with him, it was completely reasonable. Huo Shaoheng had no reason to stop them.
Therefore, she immediately stood up and patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder to remind him, "Shaoheng, it's New Year's Eve. It's just a reunion dinner. I'm not so weak that I can't even bear to see them. "
Huo Shaoheng turned around to look at Song Jinning carefully. He couldn't see any reluctance on her face, so he nodded. "I know what I'm doing."
He and Gu Nianzhi left Song Jinning's suite together and walked downstairs.
Just as they came down the spiral staircase, they saw a group of people rush in from the door.
Leading the group was Huo Guanchen. He carried Grandfather Huo on his back as he strode into the living room and placed him on the sofa.
Zhang Feng followed beside him and hurriedly took out a thermometer from the medical kit to take Grandfather Huo's temperature.
Huo Jialan followed beside Huo Guanchen and looked up to see Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi standing in front of the stairs.
The two of them were wearing cashmere sweaters of the same color and pants of the same color and style. They actually looked like a couple's outfit.
The corners of Huo Jialan's mouth twitched. She quickly lowered her head and stood quietly to the side.
Zhang Baochen and Qian Shihui stood on either side of Zhang Feng and took care of Grandfather Huo, who was lying on the sofa.
Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie stood far away at the entrance to the living room. They didn't dare approach.
Huo Shaoheng's gaze swept across the uninvited guests in the living room. He looked at Yin Shixiong, who was the last to enter. He asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Yin Shixiong quickly said, "Grandfather Huo suddenly fell ill, so the guards at the door let them in." He continued, "I met them at the door and already called Doctor Chen. He's on his way here."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and slowly walked over from the stairs. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and said slowly, "Grandfather and Father stay. The rest of you leave immediately."
Huo Guanchen didn't say anything, but Grandfather Huo couldn't take it anymore. He sat up from the sofa and said angrily, "Shaoheng! It's the New Year, what are you doing?! "
"Grandfather has recovered?" Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Don't be angry, but don't make things difficult for me." As he spoke, he looked at the Zhang family and Huo Jialan. He said calmly, "Please leave. This is not a place for you to be. "
Zhang Feng didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to be so ruthless. They had already come in, but he still wanted them to leave.
She didn't say anything and stood beside Grandfather Huo holding his arm. She gave her son and daughter-in-law a look to ask them to stand beside her.
Zhang Baochen and Qian Shihui were honestly terrified by Huo Shaoheng's look.
They weren't familiar with Huo Shaoheng and were already afraid of him. Now that he was saying this, it was like they were going to fall out. They felt even more uneasy.
"Why can't they come?!" Grandfather Huo's face darkened. Huo Shaoheng was not giving him face at all. He had been a soldier all his life and finally climbed to the position of second-in-command of the Supreme Military Council. No one dared to give him any face. "This is your home, and also the home of the Huo family. You want to chase them away?!"
"This is the official residence of the Deputy Commander of the Special Operations Forces. It's not the home of the Huo family." Huo Shaoheng bowed slightly to Grandfather Huo. "This is a special situation. I apologize."
He turned to face the door and ordered, "Guards."
A few soldiers with loaded guns ran in and saluted him. "Chief!"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and extended his arm. He pointed from Zhang Feng to Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie at the door. "Arrest all of these people."
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers were well-trained. They immediately took the ropes from their backs and tied up Zhang Feng, Zhang Baochen and Qian Shihui.
Just as they were about to tie Huo Jialan up, her face paled. "Cousin Brother! I'm here to apologize to Second Aunt! Let me see Second Aunt and kowtow to her! I'll leave after that! "
"Ha …" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help laughing coldly. She walked to Huo Shaoheng's side and raised an eyebrow at Huo Jialan. "You abused Mrs. Song for ten years, and you think a kowtow is enough? Don't you think you're too calculative? "
"I didn't mean it …" Huo Jialan burst into tears. Her knees buckled and she knelt on the ground. "I really didn't mean it! I was tricked by Bai Jinyi … "
She was crying her heart out. Her tears flowed down her face like a broken necklace. Her expression was mournful, but she looked beautiful when she cried. There was no snot or tears everywhere.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her coldly for a while. "Alright, I said kowtowing and crying won't help. Huo Jialan, don't think you'll be fine just because you weren't convicted in court. I'm telling you, after the Lunar New Year, I'm going to sue you for hurting Mrs. Song. "
Huo Jialan didn't expect to sue her. She trembled and looked at Huo Guanchen pleadingly. "Second Uncle, I really didn't know I was tricked … Second Uncle, my father is gone …"
"Shut up." Gu Nianzhi was slightly angry. She stopped Huo Jialan. "What do you mean by mentioning your father? Are you saying you can abuse Mrs. Song now that Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan is gone? I don't understand that logic either. I told you, don't come crying to us on New Year's Eve. Go home, eat and drink, and wait for the court summons for the civil lawsuit. "
Huo Jialan was not criminally guilty of mental abuse, but a civil lawsuit was entirely possible.
Losing a civil lawsuit wouldn't put her in jail, but it could make her bankrupt.
Huo Jialan sat on the ground, her face pale. Before she could recover, Huo Shaoheng spoke. "Since you're not Uncle's biological daughter, according to the trust's terms, Uncle's share of the fund's profits can no longer be transferred to you. I've already called the trust's administrator. "
