Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“You’re right, little sister. However, people are afraid of death.” Huo Xuanzhou seemed to be hinting at something. He glanced at the uncles standing in front of the mourning hall with a deep look in his eyes. He was afraid that after this incident, no one would dare to provoke Sixth Uncle anymore.

At the end of the day, his uncles were just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Although they are usually enthusiastic, when things become serious, it boils down to who could escape faster. Second Uncle’s death was full of suspicions, and no one dared to stand out and question it.

Huo Xiao was unconscious in the hospital. On the surface, the responsibility of managing the situation fell on Huo Ting. However, the members of the Huo family knew very well that the only person who could make decisions in this family was Huo Ci.

Huo Zhen’s funeral was two days later.

The guests who came to offer their condolences would first gather at the Huo family home for a group mourning ceremony. After that, they would follow the car to the Huo family’s graveyard.

On the day of the funeral, it was the first sunny day since spring. The sky was high, the clouds were light, and the sun was strong.

No one was allowed to enter the private funeral with any equipment. The reporters who wanted to come over for an interview were all stopped outside the door. The guests who entered would also be searched. No one was allowed to enter the memorial service with any electronic equipment.

The seats with more than a hundred people were filled with guests who came to mourn and send Huo Zhen off.

On behalf of the Huo family, Huo Ci expressed the pain and agony of the pa.s.sing of their loved one. When he got emotional, his eyes turned red, his voice choked, and his face turned pale. The guests present lowered their heads and wept.

Ling Sheng was dressed in a black suit and looked solemn. Jun s.h.i.+yan was sitting on the left and her son was sitting on the right.

Beside Xiaoqi sat Nangong Lengyu, who had also come to pay her respects. As Ling Sheng’s mother, she naturally sat with Ling Sheng and the entire Huo family.

All the guests present knew Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci’s relations.h.i.+p. When they saw her sitting on the side of the deceased’s family, they started whispering amongst themselves. Those who did not know the situation would think that they had reconciled!

As Huo Xuanzhou listened to Huo Ci’s eulogy, he nodded in agreement. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, and he would wipe them away from time to time. He did not have much feelings for his second uncle and never liked him since he was young because he always felt that he was strange and looked gloomy. But after all, he was also a member of the Huo family. He had to pretend to be sad.

Ling Sheng’s eyes were also red. They were all actors, everyone knew how to act here! Look at her father, who looked so heartbroken that he affected everyone present. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the Movie King.

There was a flurry of sobbing, especially from the ladies present. When they heard Huo Ci’s eulogy, they lowered their heads and wept. They could not help but want to cry, it was too unbearable.

Everyone was immersed in their emotions when suddenly, Zhang Yuechan rushed up from nowhere and pushed Huo Ci away. She looked at everyone present and shouted angrily, “Huo Ci, you’ve harmed your elder brother, yet you still have the audacity to shed your crocodile tears here!”

Huo Ci looked at the woman who had suddenly rushed up to him, and there was obvious mockery in his eyes. He did not take her seriously at all and only asked, “Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing in front of so many people?”

“Huo Ci, you still have the cheek to ask me what I’m doing?” Zhang Yuechan roared. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred as she pointed at him. “Sixth Brother, do you dare to swear in front of everyone that your second brother’s death has nothing to do with you?”

“Second Sister-in-law, you’re trying to paint me as a bad person. Everyone knows that the Huo brothers get along well with each other. Why would I do that to my Second Brother?” After being wronged, Huo Ci was filled with grief and indignation. “Second Sister-in-law, you’re breaking my heart. I, Huo Ci, swear to the heavens that if Second Brother was harmed by me, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.”

Zhang Yuechan pointed at him and asked through gritted teeth, “Huo Ci, do you dare to say that your second brother’s death has nothing to do with you?”

Huo Ci said, “If I was the one who caused Second Brother’s death, Second Sister-in-law, I would be killed by a car the moment I stepped out of this door. Are you satisfied?”

Zhang Yuechan knew that it was Huo Ci who had done it, but she did not expect him to be so ruthless. He had even made a venomous oath. She laughed bitterly and said, “Huo Ci, swear that if you were the one who killed your Second Brother, your daughter Ling Sheng and your grandson Ling Xiaoqi will die without a burial site!”

“I think the Second Sister-in-law might have been too upset and started spouting nonsense.” Huo Ci laughed coldly. He did not believe in the existence of karma, so he could do whatever he wanted, though he would not swear upon his descendants. He looked in the opposite direction with a dangerous look in his eyes and shouted, “Ah Ze, hurry up and take your mother away.”

Huo Xuanze got up and looked at his younger brother, Huo Xuancong, who was beside him. He gave him a look, and the two of them went up together with their belongings.

“Sixth Uncle, I have something to announce here. Please be my witness.” After Huo Xuanze finished speaking, he slowly took out a doc.u.ment. “This doc.u.ment is a transfer of shares signed by my grandfather. It’s written in black and white that all the businesses and a.s.sets under the Huo family are under my father’s name now. My father has pa.s.sed away, so my brother and I should inherit my father’s a.s.sets. We will be the heads of the Huo family from now on. Please take care of us in the future.”

Huo Ci’s gaze was dark as he looked at the doc.u.ment as anger surged in his heart. Were their true intentions finally showing? He should have given these two nephews some face on account of his Second Brother’s death and not make things difficult for them.

However, he never thought that they would be so greedy that they actually dared to openly take this doc.u.ment out? Their father had used some despicable and dirty means to obtain this doc.u.ment. The two of them probably knew this better than anyone else.

The remaining members of the Huo family didn’t expect this to happen, they looked at each other with complicated expressions. All the properties under the Huo family belonged to the eldest branch, so this was definitely the last thing they wanted to see.

Huo Ting didn’t expect his family to be so stupid as to do something like this at the funeral. They fought for power in front of so many people. How would others look at his family? How would the entire capital think of his family?

From the looks of it, their father being hospitalized and unconscious had something to do with the second son. Otherwise, why did they not know when their father signed the doc.u.ment?

Ling Sheng’s eyes were cold and murderous as she stared at the doc.u.ment.. Alright, Grandpa’s accident was indeed because of her second uncle who had pa.s.sed away. That doc.u.ment was the culprit behind Grandpa’s multiple illnesses and eventually falling unconscious!
