"Huo … Huo Shao, why are you here?" Zhang Feng's expression changed and her heart started pounding. She had a bad feeling about this.
But remembering that Grandfather Huo was Huo Shaoheng's grandfather, no matter how heartless he was, he would not allow others to torture his grandfather. She stammered, "Huo Shao, what's going on? The Chief is resting upstairs. What they're doing is disrespecting the Chief and the Huo family! "
Zhang Feng was trying to incite Huo Shaoheng's anger.
She knew that a man like Huo Shaoheng was not interested in money, power or women. The only things that could tempt him were fame and glory.
The Huo family's fame and glory should be what he valued the most, right?
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and looked straight ahead, ignoring her. "I'm here to take my grandfather home. Please move aside."
Zhang Feng's eyes widened in shock and she could not help but shout, "Huo Shao! Didn't you see how they treated me?! What would the Chief think if he saw this? The Huo family has such high prestige in the military, are they going to let them humiliate me like this? "
Huo Shaoheng turned around and glared coldly at Zhang Feng. His tone was filled with undisguised disgust. "Head Nurse Zhang, I think you don't understand something. Your surname is Zhang, not Huo. What has it got to do with the Huo family?"
"But I …!" Zhang Feng trembled at Huo Shaoheng's cold stare.
She stumbled back and looked at Huo Shaoheng in fear. She was panicking.
Huo Shaoheng looked away and walked into Zhang Feng's suite expressionlessly.
The few orderlies he brought with him also followed and crowded around him.
Zhang Feng could not help but shout, "Huo Shao, are you really not afraid? Do you really want me to say something nice? "
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and looked up at the ceiling at the entrance. With both hands in his trouser pockets, he turned around quietly and said to Zhang Feng, "You can say whatever you want, it's none of my business." He shrugged and nodded to the captain of the military police beside Zhang Feng. "You can take her away now."
Zhang Feng opened her mouth to reveal her true relationship with Grandfather Huo, but just as the words were about to leave her mouth, she suddenly realized that she couldn't!
Huo Shaoheng had already made it clear that he wouldn't help her. If she revealed her relationship with Grandfather Huo, the Huo family would be humiliated, but Grandfather Huo would be the one who would suffer the most!
He might lose his military rank and status …
Without Old Master Huo's military rank and status, it wouldn't matter even if she married him.
How would Grandfather Huo's scandal affect Huo Shaoheng's grandson?
Perhaps it wouldn't affect him at all, and people might even sympathize with him …
Zhang Feng's expression changed several times in an instant. It was as if someone was strangling her, but she had no choice but to shut up.
This feeling of being forced made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Zhang Feng gritted her teeth and said to Zhang Baochen and Qian Shihui, "Don't worry, go look for Grandfather Huo immediately. He'll vouch for me. I'll be fine. "
"You talk too much." A military policeman frowned, took out a piece of tape, and slapped it on Zhang Feng's mouth so that she couldn't speak anymore. At the same time, he took out a paper bag and placed it over her head, covering her head. Just like that, he brought her out.
All the family and friends in the room were dumbfounded and speechless.
Huo Shaoheng walked in step by step, and a few orderlies stood guard by his side, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
All the guests could do was make way for him and watch in awe as he walked towards the staircase.
Zhang Baochen ran in, panting, and chased after Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao! Huo Shao! "
All the family and friends in the room finally snapped out of their daze and immediately dispersed, leaving the Zhang's duplex suite.
Huo Shaoheng didn't stop walking until he reached the second floor. He turned to look at Zhang Baochen, who was being separated by the orderlies, and asked calmly, "Where's my grandfather?"
"Over … over there …" Zhang Baochen had a lot of questions to ask, but in the face of Huo Shaoheng's powerful aura, he immediately shriveled up and pointed to the door at the end of the second floor. "Right there."
Huo Shaoheng walked over with the orderlies.
He knocked on the door first, but there was no response.
"Chief, let us in." One of the orderlies stepped forward and turned the doorknob.
The bedroom door opened with a click.
Huo Shaoheng walked in first and said to the orderlies, "Wait here. No one is to come in."
"Yes, Chief!" A few orderlies stood guard at the door with their guns.
Zhang Baochen was so scared he didn't even dare to breathe, and went downstairs in trepidation.
Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie stood guard beside Qian Shihui, their faces pale. When they saw Zhang Baochen come down, they quickly asked quietly, "What happened? Did you ask Huo Shao? "
Zhang Baochen looked like he was about to cry and shook his head. "Huo Shao went to see Father."
In the bedroom on the second floor, Huo Shaoheng stood in front of grandfather Huo's bed with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other playing with a round gold coin.
Grandfather Huo's eyes were closed, and his breathing was long and deep. He was fast asleep.
Huo Shaoheng waited for a while and saw that grandfather Huo didn't show any signs of waking up, so he didn't wake him up. He looked around the room alone.
The heater in the room was on high, and Huo Shaoheng could feel sweat on his back after standing for a while.
He looked down at grandfather Huo, who was covered tightly with the eiderdown blanket, and then looked at the adjusted temperature in the room. He shook his head helplessly, and finally opened the floor-to-ceiling windows to walk out to the balcony.
The night of the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Imperial Capital was bone-chillingly cold, and a breath seemed to freeze.
Huo Shaoheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a lighter. He took a deep puff.
It had been a busy day.
He took Gu Nianzhi to General Ji's and Speaker Long's houses for New Year's greetings, settled the arrest warrant from the military police, and the administrative order to freeze the bank accounts. Then he sent Gu Nianzhi back to the military base, and he met up with grandfather Huo's orderlies and the captain of the military police to arrest the Zhang's.
Everything was going smoothly, and everything was going according to his plan.
Huo Shaoheng smoked for half an hour on the balcony when he heard movement in the room.
He threw the rest of the cigarette into the bin, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and walked in, closing the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him.
Grandfather Huo propped himself up from the bed and squinted at him. "Shaoheng? Why are you here? "
Although he looked surprised and angry, he was actually overjoyed.
After running away once, his grandson had finally bowed down …
It seemed like Shaoheng was still filial.
Grandfather Huo put on his coat and sat on the bed. He looked at Huo Shaoheng and smiled. "Sit, have you eaten?"
Huo Shaoheng had eaten breakfast in the morning, and had been busy since then, so he hadn't eaten anything.
However, he didn't tell grandfather Huo the truth. He nodded lightly. "Yes."
He looked at grandfather Huo and said, "Grandfather, let's go back. You can't live here anymore soon."
"Why can't you live here anymore?" Grandfather Huo looked at him sternly. "This is Little Zhang's house. I can live here as long as I want."
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng rubbed his fingers and sat down on the single sofa next to grandfather Huo's bed. "But this place will be sealed soon. How are you going to live here? Are you going to tell the military police that you bought this place for Head Nurse Zhang? "
"Nonsense!" Grandfather Huo's face darkened. "Why will it be sealed? Is it because you haven't paid back the loan? " He looked at Huo Shaoheng again. After struggling for a long time, he softened his tone. "… Shaoheng, grandfather knows that you and your grandmother are close, but grandfather also loves you! Do you have the heart to see your grandfather all alone? Although grandfather is old, he still wants someone to accompany him … "
"I never said I wouldn't let grandfather remarry." Huo Shaoheng crossed his legs and rested both hands on the sofa armrests. His posture was very relaxed. "But Zhang Feng can't."
"Why not?"
"She's too greedy and ambitious." Huo Shaoheng looked up at the house. "Grandfather, you know this, right? With Zhang Feng's wealth, how could she buy so many houses in the Imperial Capital? Don't mention loans. I know she didn't take a single cent. She bought the houses with cash. "
Grandfather Huo was silent for a long time before he said vaguely, "… You and I know about these things. Isn't that how everyone goes through it? I can't give her a title, so I should compensate her in other ways. "
Huo Shaoheng put his legs down and sat up straight. His expression became serious. "Grandfather, do you know what Zhang Feng did? If you say you condoned it, are you going to bear the consequences with her? "
