37 -37: Ruanruan, Remembered by Third Master

In years past, the Su Family had saved the life of the Huo Family’s old master, and they leveraged this debt of gratitude to arrange a marriage between the younger members of the two families.

After the marriage alliance, the Su Family became increasingly restless.

As an aristocratic family, they absurdly aspired to surpass the four supreme families.

Such audacity had crossed the line and affected the interests of many different powers.

Among the top echelons of Capital City, the Huo Family led the four great families, followed by the Long, Gu, and Lu families.

The current President is a member of the Long Family.

Every eight years, there’s an election, and the candidates are always from the four great families.

Beneath these four great families, there are six more aristocratic families: the Su Family, Gongsun Family, Xiao Family, Ling Family, Nangong Family, and Rong Family.

Over the past few years, the Su Family has acted increasingly overtly in their dealings due to the marriage with the Huo Family, barely concealing their ambitions to squeeze into the ranks of the four great families.

Huo Yunjiao picked up the documents beside her and flipped through them, her voice calm, “The Su Family did save Grandfather’s life after all, so let Grandfather handle this matter.

His intervention will certainly not be lighter than yours.”

“That’s true.”

A wicked smile curled up on Huo Yirong’s lips, his face also revealing a look of anticipation.

If the grandfather found out about Su Jingshu’s actions, given the old man’s fierce temper, he would definitely give the Su Family a good thrashing.

These years, the Su Family has been exploiting the alliance through marriage to take advantage of the Huo Family; they are probably going to get their comeuppance, with interest.

“How is the investigation of that woman going?”

In the video, Huo Yunjiao looked down, flipping through the file in her hand without raising her head, as though the question were merely an afterthought. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

That woman?

Apart from the woman from Imperial Court Hotel who had a fling with the third brother, who else could it be?

Huo Yirong’s eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously licked his lips.

His uneasiness was fleeting.

“How could it be so fast?

I just returned to the country and have been dealing with company business.

As you know, X Country urgently needs to purchase a large quantity of weapons lately.

I haven’t had time for this.”

Huo Yunjiao looked up, her deep eyes flashing with fragmented light, making it hard to read her expression.

She gazed at the screen, at Huo Yirong’s face, which was brimming with exhaustion.

Indeed, HEA Group had been incredibly busy with a backlog of tasks, and she knew that her second cousin had landed in the country at midnight.

Yet, recalling the soul-stirring experience at Imperial Court Hotel and the woman with a vague face but etched in her heart, Huo Yunjiao still couldn’t let go.

Her voice was calm, with an undeniable tone, “It’s just about transmitting some information; it won’t take much of your time.”

In the past days, she couldn’t believe that with the capabilities of the Huo Family, they hadn’t found out the basic information about that woman.

Huo Yirong’s face twisted as he shrugged nonchalantly, “The information is with Huo Qiang.

I just punished him, so he has left.”

“You punished Old Qiang, and he’s gone to the Punishment Hall?”

Huo Yunjiao’s eyebrows knitted together, her profound gaze mixed with doubt, and her bewitching, delicate face showed disapproval.

Huo Qiang was an elder within the Hidden Department, well-regarded by not only the old master and the father but also the second uncle, deeply loyal and honorable, someone they should all respect.

“Tsk, how could I send him to the Punishment Hall?

After all, he’s been watching us grow up since we were kids.

It’s just a mild punishment as a warning.”

Huo Yirong’s expression remained unconcerned, “In his attempt to save Huo Zhi, he stepped on the Huo Family’s dignity.

The Su Family has been unruly for so many years, covertly and overtly defying us.

Who in the Huo Family doesn’t know?

Yet he had to state it outright.

To save Huo Zhi, it seems he’s nearly forgotten who his masters are!”

Huo Yunjiao gave him a silent glance, “You’ve sent Huo Zhi to the Punishment Hall.”

This was not a question, but a statement.

“Hmm—”

Huo Yirong looked down, not seeing anything amiss.

In the video, the person lying on the hospital bed sighed softly, “Don’t torment him too much.

Let him out after he’s learned his lesson.”
