120: Chapter 120 The Person Behind the Fake Huo Liang 2

"It is indeed possible that they are targeting our Four Great Families. After all, our four families have been established in the Imperial Capital for so long that it's bound to provoke jealousy." Bai Jue was in total agreement with Gao Ying's analysis.

"I really want to know who is the person behind the targeting of our families!" At this moment, several of them wanted to find out who was behind it.

That night, everyone stayed there except for Bai Jue, who left.

Huo Yunci's reason was simple: he already belonged to Gao Ying, so naturally, he had to follow her closely.

Thinking about the matter with his phone, Gao Ying tacitly agreed.

"Darling, do you have someone in mind?" Heartless asked, pulling her into his arms.

"Yes. I want to know about the family that used to be ranked just behind the Four Great Families. Being constantly suppressed would naturally lead to resentment.

To eliminate the Four Great Families, they could be very patient and lie low," Gao Ying speculated.

"The one currently being suppressed by the Four Great Families is the Chou Family; before them, it seemed to be the Qiu Family.

However, the Qiu Family immigrated many years ago. Do you suspect it's the Qiu Family?" Thinking of those overseas enterprises, Heartless couldn't help but be suspicious as well.

"It's hard to say. Perhaps they are exploiting this mindset of ours. Since the Qiu Family immigrated abroad, they would be the first ones we think of." Thinking of something, Gao Ying stood up and went to the study.

The sound of the door opening brought Xi Yan and the other two out of their bedrooms.

"Heartless, what's wrong?" Lou Jingyao asked as he saw Heartless come out.

"Darling thought of something and ran to the study without even putting on her shoes." Heartless held her shoes up and headed to the study after speaking.

"Xi Yan, have carpets laid over all these floors tomorrow. What if Baby gets cold?" After saying this, Lou Jingyao called the butler and told him to carpet every corner of the house tomorrow.

Xi Yan also sent out a message.

The person on the other end saw the message and resignedly got up to work.

Truly, for that bit of salary, they had done enough work like a beast of burden.

Huo Yunci also lowered his head to send a message, then followed the two of them to the study.

Heartless bent down to help her put on her shoes, then stepped aside to watch her work seriously.

"Baby looks so beautiful when she's working seriously." Lou Jingyao's gaze was fixed on Gao Ying.

The four men sat to one side, watching Gao Ying as she looked up information.

Looking at the woman who seemed to radiate light, Huo Yunci finally understood why someone as proud as Xi Yan would share her with those other men.

After only meeting twice, her figure was already constantly in his mind.

This woman was truly poisonous, but he was willing to be poisoned by her.

"Don't get any ideas about my Baby. I already have eight brothers; I don't want to add any more," Lou Jingyao warned him.

"I can't restrain matters of the heart. Besides, I already belong to Miss Gao, so your warning seems useless to me," Huo Yunci said without even looking at him.

"You only sold yourself to Baby as a career slave, not as her partner. I hope you understand that," Lou Jingyao reminded him of the indenture contract he had signed.

"Don't you know? Once I signed that agreement, I would do everything in my power to become an indispensable man by Treasure Ying's side." This time, Huo Yunci finally deigned to give him a glance.

"Huo! Yun! Ci! I won't let you succeed, humph!" Lou Jingyao suddenly felt that this person he had grown up with was so annoying.

"Found it. Come over and take a look; does anyone recognize this person?" Gao Ying pulled up a photo.

The four of them stood up to look.

"I don't recognize him," Huo Yunci said, shaking his head at the man in the photo.

"Why does this person look a bit familiar to me?" On the contrary, Lou Jingyao felt he must have seen the person in the photo somewhere.

"This is the Hong Family, the Qiu Family's in-laws. At that time, the two families were equal in strength. If the Hong Family hadn't stepped back, the top-ranked second-tier family would have been the Hong Family." Xi Yan remembered the person.

"Right, I remember now. That Hong Family kid was particularly annoying; he loved bullying people when he was little.

Except that one time he kicked a steel plate by trying to bully Bai Jue, and ended up being warned by the Bai Family.

Wait, then they should have made a move against the Bai Family! Why would they target the Huo Family?

After all, at that time, Auntie Huo was in poor health, so Uncle Huo rarely went out for social events, and Huo Yunci didn't attend banquets either." Lou Jingyao couldn't understand what the Hong Family was thinking.

"Because the Bai Family was impenetrable, whereas at that time in the Huo Family, Madam Huo had passed away. Uncle Huo was heartbroken over his wife's death and was very despondent.

At that time, Huo Yunci was the only child in the Huo Family. That's why the Hong Family targeted them," Xi Yan analyzed.

Gao Ying: "Ah Yan's guess is correct. This Hong Family is truly despicable; they even sowed discord between Huo Yunci and his father.

Fortunately, Kong Liuzhu was very opposed to her own son inheriting the Huo Family, so Fake Huo Liang announced to the public that the eldest son, Huo Yunci, would be the sole heir to the Huo Corporation.

In this way, to the outside world, this Huo Liang appeared to be a good husband and a good father, not giving the company's inheritance rights to the younger son just because of the second wife."

"The Hong Family has developed well abroad. Most of their capital probably comes from the Huo Family, right?" Huo Yunci asked with a grim face.

"You're right. These are the Huo Corporation's secret financial records over the years." Gao Ying pushed the computer toward him to see.

"Dammit, this Hong Family deserves to die." Everyone in the room could feel the anger and killing intent emanating from Huo Yunci.

"Calm down first. Most of the Hong Family's assets are abroad, so we can't act rashly.

First, deal with this Fake Huo Liang domestically. When the time comes, I'll accompany you abroad to meet this Hong Family." Seeing blood trickling from his palm, Gao Ying stood up and held his hand, telling him to relax.

The anger in Huo Yunci's heart slowly subsided; anger was useless now.

For so many years, because of this fake person, he had misunderstood his father.

Indeed, his parents were so in love; how could his father have married someone else right after his mother passed away?

Even if that person had been arranged by his mother, his father would have refused.

He only blamed himself for being too young and immature then, allowing the scoundrel to take advantage of the situation.

"At the Bai Family's charity gala tomorrow, someone will take Kong Liuzhu and her son to a safe place.

Then, you can go home and deal with Fake Huo Liang directly." Gao Ying told him the plan.

"Good. I will make that person truly taste what bone-eroding pain feels like." Huo Yunci was no gentle gentleman.

His methods were not something an ordinary person could endure.

"Since we've identified the person behind it, we know what to do. Everything can wait until after tomorrow. Let's all go rest now. I'm tired, Heartless." Gao Ying reached out both hands toward Heartless.

Heartless gently picked her up and took her to the room to rest.

"Inform Bai Jue about this. The Hong Family wants to deal with our four families. Ying'er could have completely ignored it, but she didn't just stand by because of us." Xi Yan looked at Huo Yunci.

Among the four top families, the Xi Family and Lou Family are close, while the Bai Family and Huo Family are close.

Although they all attended the same school and were childhood friends, their relationships were bound to differ in closeness.
