When Li MO came in with his men, Huo Xunzhou slowly raised his hand, signaling him to ignore Huo Zhuxiu.

Then, he reached out and pointed at the psychiatrist.

Li MO understood his signal and took the psychiatrist outside.

The psychiatrist had been in the house the whole time and heard the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Xizhen clearly.

Although the brief exchange between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Xizhen only lasted a few sentences without revealing any more information, the psychiatrist heard she say, “I did a paternity test for Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu. They are father and son.”

Although he had been entrusted by Huo Zhuxiu to hypnotize Huo Xizhen and seal her memories back then, he was not clear about the relationship between her and Huo Zhuxiu.

However, the fact that Huo Chaosheng was Huo Zhuxiu’s biological son was already considered shocking news in the circle.

Therefore, the psychiatrist panicked when Li MO dragged him out.

“I didn’t hear anything just now. I won’t say anything. You guys can rest assured…

He was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would use extreme measures to shut him up.

The psychiatrist kept talking while Li MO was dragging him to the front door.

Tired of hearing those words, Li MO shouted, “Shut up!”

He pushed the psychiatrist to the bodyguard beside him and ordered, “Send him back.”

However, the atmosphere in the foyer across the wall was getting more and more tense.

Compared to the agitated Huo Xizhen, Huo Zhuxiu was relatively calm.

He seemed to have gotten used to Huo Xizhen’s emotional breakdown.

“If vou don’t want to live in the basement. that’s fine.” Huo Zhuxiu’s tone was

so calm that it was as if he was really discussing a serious matter with Huo Xizhen.

Huo Xizhen shook her head and calmed down a little.

“I won’t go back with you!”

“Ah Fu, Chaosheng, I…” Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and said in a pained tone, “And Xunzhou, whom you deliberately lost when he was less than three years old. All our lives have been ruined by you! And yet you can live with such a clear conscience!

“What right do you have to live?! What right do you have?!”

Huo Zhuxiu’s face finally showed a slight emotional fluctuation. “Zhenzhen, you’re too emotional now. Let’s take our time and talk about it when we get home.”

“It’s been so many years, but you still won’t let me go!” Huo Xizhen sneered, “It’s time for you to pay the price.”

Huo Zhuxiu’s expression changed drastically as he asked, “Have you forgotten what you promised me back then?”

“What I regret the most is that I had listened to your nonsense back then and thought you entered the wrong room because you were just drunk and confused at that moment! And you swept this matter under the carpet for the sake of your family’s so-called reputation!

“If I had been more courageous back then and told Ah Fu about this matter sooner, she wouldn’t have died a tragic death at your hands!”

Huo Xizhen was crying and laughing at the same time, looking like she was about to go crazy. “I’m going to let everyone know what kind of person you are, Huo Zhuxiu! I’m going to ruin your reputation and make you die a horrible death!”

Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou stood quietly at the side.

When Lin Shanchu heard those words, she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.

His drooping hands on his sides were already clenched into fists. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging and his knuckles had turned white because he had used too much force.

Huo Xunzhou slowly walked up to Huo Zhuxiu and stared daggers at him. ‘You killed my mother?”

‘Why?” Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice before Huo Zhuxiu could reply.

Huo Zhuxiu sneered probably because making excuses was futile at this point, so he simply put his cards on the table and said, “What’s the point of pursuing this matter now? If your mother is dead, so be it. You are my child. If you want to protect the Huo family business, then you must keep all these secrets to yourself.”

“The Huo family business…” Huo Xunzhou suddenly understood something and slowly turned to look at Huo Xizhen.

Huo Xizhen slumped to the ground and cried, “Huo Zhuxiu killed Ah Fu to silence her because she found out about Chaosheng’s identity!”

No matter what kind of family it was, it was a shocking scandal for siblings to have an affair.

Huo Zhuxiu was selfish and vicious, and he valued power and the prosperity of his family more than anything else.

Therefore, when he found out that Huo Xunzhou’s mother knew about Huo Chaosheng’s background, he chose to kill her directly to get rid of any future troubles.

After that, he hypnotized Huo Xizhen and locked her up in a sunless basement.

This was the truth that Huo Xunzhou had been searching for.

It was so absurd.

Huo Xunzhou’s mother, the daughter of the Yun family, was a famous socialite in Capital City.

If she had not met Huo Zhuxiu, she would have lived a blissful life.

Including Huo Xunzhou himself, his original life trajectory should have been happy and smooth sailing.

All of this was caused by Huo Zhuxiu.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly laughed.

Lin Shanchu looked at him worriedly.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Zhuxiu. “I will destroy everything you want, including your business, your power, your status and your family’s honor.”

“What are you doing?” Huo Zhuxiu’s expression changed drastically as he shouted, “Don’t forget that your surname is Huo! The Huo family business can’t be destroyed in your hands.”

“Is it an honor to be surnamed Huo? Ask Chaosheng and Aunt if any of them want to take the surname Huo.” Huo Xunzhou roared and threw Huo Zhuxiu onto the ground.

At this moment, the sound of a police carts horn could be heard outside.

Huo Zhuxiu finally began to panic.

“You called the police? Why did you call the police?”

Huo Xunzhou just looked at him coldly without saying a word.

The police rushed in with an arrest warrant and arrested Huo Zhuxiu.

Huo Xizhen was also taken away as a witness.

Lin Shanchu accompanied Huo Xunzhou to the police station.

It was already late at night when they came out of the police station after finishing their statements.

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to turn around to talk to Huo Xunzhou, he fell to the ground with a thud.

“Huo Xunzhou!”

“Big Brother!”

Li MO rushed over and helped Huo Xunzhou into the car together with Lin Shanchu.

Then, he drove the car straight to the hospital.

After examination, the doctor said that Huo Xunzhou was just overworked these past few days and that there was no other discomfort.

Only then did Lin Shanchu feel relieved.

She stood in front of the bed and stared at Huo Xunzhou’s sleeping face for a while before slowly sitting down by the bed and holding his hand to accompany him.

Lin Shanchu had been tired all day, and soon fell asleep lying on the bedside.

When she woke up, she heard whispers at the door of the ward.

Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and looked up to see Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun sitting across the bed.

She looked to the side and saw that Huo Xunzhou’s uncle, aunt and Yun Yi and his other two siblings were present.

Everyone from the Yun family had arrived.

They all sat quietly, not making a single sound.

Yun Wu saw the confusion on Lin Shanchu’s face and walked over, showing her the phone screen.

A trending headline was displayed on the screen:

[Huo Zhuxiu, the president of Huo Corporation, arrested for killing his wife.]

Huo Xunzhou had been too busy these few days and had not returned to the Yun family, so the Yun family only found out what had happened when they saw the news..
