When Jiang Ning looked again, neither Huo Miao nor Madam Huo were in their original positions. She didn’t know if the Huo family members had taken them to the hospital themselves or moved them elsewhere to wait for an ambulance.
However, this guess flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind and was quickly dismissed.
What happened to the Huo family members was none of her business.
There was only one thing Jiang Ning cared about: "Where’s Huo Song?"
She glanced at the people by the door.
Huo Song was the target of her and Qi Xingzhou’s task this time. They couldn’t just let him slip away!
"Over there, he didn’t run." Qi Xingzhou pulled Jiang Ning and pointed to the side.
Following the direction Qi Xingzhou was pointing in, Jiang Ning saw that Huo Song and Huo Li, who had just been standing at the front gate, had somehow walked back to the crowd below. Zhang Lang was talking to the two of them.
Zhang Lang pointed at the computer with a serious expression, saying something to the Huo father and son, while the two policemen and other technicians who had been busy at the computer now huddled to one side.
Everyone looked solemn.
Huo Li’s handsome face bore a particularly heavy expression.
Only Huo Song had an expression as colorful as a palette spilled over, seemingly a mix of shame, guilt, and forced composure.
"They found out so quickly?" Jiang Ning felt a twinge of curiosity, her gaze shifting away from Huo Song and Huo Li. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar face that appeared beside them at some unknown time.
Jiang Ning paused, Huo Ziheng?
When had this person come in?
She didn’t seem to have noticed him just now.
"He emerged from behind the big screen." Seeing that Jiang Ning was still looking at Huo Ziheng, Qi Xingzhou seemed to guess her thoughts and spoke up, "While the front gate was bustling just now, he came out from behind the big screen, then went up to the police and said a few words. The computer was then decrypted."
Watching the scene where an infuriated Huo Song was about to strike Huo Ziheng, only to be stopped by Zhang Lang and the other police, Jiang Ning’s expression was strange, and she had a hunch: could it be that the content displayed on the big screen earlier had been released by Huo Ziheng?
Everyone assumed it was Jiang Ning who had been responsible for what was shown on the screen, yet they were only half right.
In Jiang Ning’s original plan, she intended to use this press conference to fully expose Huo Song in front of everyone, whether it was his and Huo Miao’s private affairs or his legal and disciplinary violations.
Jiang Ning was no saint; she remembered all the sneers and disparagement the Huo family members had thrown at her in the past two years.
She hadn’t forgotten what Huo Miao had previously done to her either.
Between her and the Huo family members, there was only room for kicking someone when they were down.
Having such a big leverage over the Huo family members, not exploiting it would be foolish.
Jiang Ning had everything well planned out. The only thing she hadn’t accounted for was a ’pig teammate’: the 110 system.
As soon as the 110 system learned of Jiang Ning’s intentions, it immediately halted her.
In its view, no matter how embarrassing Huo Song’s and Huo Miao’s actions in private were, these were moral issues, not legal ones.
And Jiang Ning’s decision to expose the privacy of the two was potentially illegal.
Jiang Ning: "..." Unsure whether to recite a national maxim or not.
Having a ’pig teammate’ causing a ruckus and throwing tantrums in her mind, Jiang Ning had to change her original plan. Now the big screen only played the video of Huo Song’s bribery, while the private photos of Huo Song and Huo Miao were sent directly to Madam Huo.
Madam Huo had come to the company on her own initiative today. If she hadn’t come, Jiang Ning would have found a way to lure her to the company in advance and then let Madam Huo catch Huo Song and Huo Miao red-handed, photographed by the media reporters present.
That was Jiang Ning’s plan for the day.
Unexpectedly, someone helped her by patching up the private images of Huo Song and Huo Miao on the big screen...
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on Huo Ziheng, who had lost a lot of weight.
After Zhang Lang stopped Huo Song, his colleague pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs from his pocket, "President Huo, please come with us to the station immediately for investigation."
Huo Song looked at the shiny silver handcuffs, his heart feeling as dead as ashes, his spirit seemingly drained all of a sudden, aging him in an instant.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for capturing the criminal Huo Song. Reward: 3 days of life value]
[Bonus mission: Reward your partner Qi Xingzhou with 1 point of Merit Points.]
The System’s voice rang out in Jiang Ning’s mind, and the familiar little hedgehog materialized in front of her.
Zhang Lang approached Jiang Ning, his expression somewhat surprised, "Our colleagues have already found out, the footage played on the big screen just now wasn’t fabricated, it’s real. The person who secretly swapped the recording is Huo Ziheng."
Zhang Lang glanced at Jiang Ning, observing her expression.
Actually, upon arriving at the scene and understanding what had happened, he also secretly speculated whether Jiang Ning could be behind today’s events.
But as policemen deal with cases, they value evidence.
Without evidence, they wouldn’t rashly jump to conclusions, and of course, he wouldn’t foolishly ask.
Jiang Ning’s face showed little emotion, "Did he confess on his own?"
"Yes," Zhang Lang nodded, "But whether it was really him, we still need to take him back for a thorough interrogation. Currently, we have only found the part of the video with Huo Song and Huo Miao’s privacy on his phone."
Jiang Ning was no fool, she certainly understood the implications of Zhang Lang’s words.
However, Jiang Ning’s expression remained indifferent as if she had little interest in the matter, "Since you have found the suspect, can we leave now?"
"Yes," Zhang Lang nodded. He and his colleagues also needed to take Huo Song and Huo Ziheng back to the station for further investigation.
If Huo Song’s charge of bribery were to be confirmed, the entire Huo Company would be implicated as a result. The allegations that Huo Li had previously made about someone deliberately slandering his company, malicious defamation, infringement of company privacy, etc., would no longer be valid.
Moreover, for a long time to come, whether it be Huo Li or Huo’s company, they would face a wave of inspections and penalties. Of course, that was a story for later.
When several police officers took Huo Song and Huo Ziheng away, the reporters present overflowed with enthusiasm and immediately followed them out, carrying their tools of trade.
And quite coincidentally, as everyone was leaving the building, the ambulance that had been called earlier arrived.
Huo Miao and Madam Huo were carried downstairs by the staff, and upon seeing Huo Miao’s pitiful state, the accompanying doctor conducted a brief examination and quickly concluded, "There are signs of a miscarriage! We must rush her back to the hospital at once!"
"Who is with the family? Get on quickly."
"Me me me!" Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, who had been following close by, hastily responded. The two of them scrambled to climb aboard Huo Miao’s ambulance.
Then, the nurses in the other ambulance, after loading Madam Huo, also called out, "What about the family for this one? We need one more!"
It was only then did the brothers remember that their mother had also fainted. After a brief push and shove, Huo Kaiping jumped out of the ambulance:
