Unlike the joyful and tearful reunion between siblings in Le Zhengling’s ward, on the other side, Madam Huo gradually woke up from her coma.
She looked at the white ceiling above her head, her expression confused, somewhat slow to react, until her brain cleared up and the images from before the coma resurfaced in her mind.
Madam Huo instantly came to her senses and was furious, "These two lowlifes!"
She got up and threw the covers off, intending to get out of bed, but as soon as she tried to move, she felt dizzy and her head throbbed, forcing her to fall back onto the bed.
"Mom, you’re finally awake!" Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, who had been standing by her side, rushed over.
Madam Huo hadn’t forgotten that these two had been defending Huo Miao before she passed out, but seeing them as the first people upon waking up softened her heart, "Why are you here? Go get your father and that wench Huo Miao for me!"
She still had a huge score to settle with these two!
"Mom, dad has been taken away by the police," Huo Kaiping said.
After following the ambulance to the hospital, both Madam Huo and Huo Miao were taken to the emergency room. Madam Huo was originally unconscious, and after Huo Miao was brought to the hospital, the nurses gave her an injection to stabilize the pregnancy and she soon fell asleep as well.
"Taken away?!" Madam Huo wasn’t aware of Huo Song’s bribery and thought he was taken away by the police because the situation with Huo Miao had gotten out of hand.
Madam Huo was quite pleased, "Serves him right! He should be locked up to learn his lesson!"
Huo Kaian, frowning, said disapprovingly, "Sister Miaomiao is sleeping nearby, Mom, please be quieter, don’t disturb her rest."
Madam Huo, who was just about to get comfortable and lie back in her bed, turned her head stiffly upon hearing Huo Kaian’s words and immediately noticed Huo Miao lying on another bed!
Only then did Madam Huo notice that she was not only in a hospital but also in a double room!
The very person she had wished she could hit to death before falling unconscious was now sleeping soundly on the other bed!
Madam Huo felt a surge of blood rush to her head, so overwhelmed that she almost passed out again.
"Get her out of here!"
Madam Huo pointed with a raised hand, her voice piercing.
If it weren’t for her current discomfort, Madam Huo would have personally dragged Huo Miao out of her bed and thrown her out!
She finally understood why Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian were hovering around.
It turned out they weren’t watching over her but over Huo Miao!
Madam Huo almost had a stroke from anger!
She glared at Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, "She did such a thing, and you still help her! Whose sons are you really!"
"Where are your eldest brother and second brother? Call them here!" Madam Huo commanded.
She wanted to see what they thought, arranging for her and Huo Miao to be in the same ward.
Did they want her to die faster?
Madam Huo felt a palpable fear that they would be the death of her.
Huo Kaiping said, "Eldest brother is at the company, there’s chaos there now, he can’t come."
Huo Kaian also spoke, "Second brother has been taken away by the police, along with father."
Even if Madam Huo was slow to catch on, she could sense that something was off, "...Why would the police take them away?"
Madam Huo was completely clueless about the events at the press conference that afternoon. Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian only learned the details after they arrived at the hospital, during the break while waiting for the women to wake up, through the internet and a phone call with Huo Li.
The two shared what they knew, including Huo Song’s bribery and how Huo Ziheng had made Huo Song and Huo Miao’s privacy public.
"Just now, the police came to get Sister Miaomiao’s statement."
"They found from the company’s surveillance that it was Sister Miaomiao who had secretly placed the spy camera in the office, and it was only after my second brother found it did he learn about this matter."
After listening to Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, Madam Huo’s vision darkened in waves, and she nearly fainted, "Where, where are the police now? Where are they?"
Huo Kaian said, "Seeing that neither of you had woken up, they left, saying they would come back tomorrow."
Madam Huo hadn’t expected so many things to have happened without her knowledge, nor had she anticipated the situation would become so serious.
Although she detested Huo Song and Huo Miao’s actions, she didn’t want to watch Huo Song go to jail with her own eyes.
As the head of the family, if he were to go to jail, what kind of life could she expect to lead thereafter?!
Madam Huo started to worry, looking around for her phone, "Where’s my phone?!"
"Here it is." Huo Kaiping handed her her purse.
Madam Huo immediately took out her phone and called Huo Li.
Huo Li was at the company, having just dealt with the leaders of the inspecting units.
Seeing the incoming call from Madam Huo, he frowned but still answered, his voice cold, "Mom."
"Ah, Huo Li, where are you right now?" Reminded of the afternoon’s events, Madam Huo couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty.
She truly hadn’t known about the events at the press conference, otherwise, she would not have acted so impulsively.
Even though Madam Huo hadn’t gone to work for a long time, she could still guess that the afternoon’s events must have dealt a significant blow to Huo Company.
Something seemed to have occurred to her, and she said angrily, "It must be Jiang Ning’s doing! If someone hadn’t suddenly sent me those pictures, how would I have rushed downstairs to confront your father!"
"And your second brother, we’re a family, how could he intentionally release those private photos? Ever since he attended that variety show last time, it’s like he’s lost his mind! He’s deliberately taking the blame for Jiang Ning! You must investigate thoroughly!"
Madam Huo could think of these things, and of course, Huo Li had as well.
In the few hours that Madam Huo had been unconscious, Huo Li had already reviewed the company’s surveillance footage.
The footage clearly showed how Huo Ziheng had accidentally discovered the spy camera and how he had inconspicuously embedded the material into the work computers.
Huo Li didn’t originally believe that Huo Ziheng was responsible, but the evidence was irrefutable. Moreover, Huo Ziheng himself had confessed without denial.
When Huo Li asked him why he did it, Huo Ziheng simply said he felt disgusted.
Huo Ziheng also told Huo Li that he had already backed up the contents of the memory card and sent them to Huo Li’s personal email, available for Huo Li to check at any time.
Huo Li hadn’t looked yet, but he could guess how appalling the contents would be.
As for someone anonymously sending picture messages to Madam Huo, Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian had already told Huo Li while Madam Huo was unconscious.
Huo Li also had the company’s IT staff trace the anonymous number’s origin, but... it was completely untraceable.
However, he did not plan to tell Madam Huo any of this.
Huo Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling tired, "Alright, I understand."
