Chapter 61: Chapter 61: There is Another Huo Family Beyond the Heavens
“He was the one who pushed!”
A naïve yet firm voice came from outside the door.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
Momo stood at the door and coldly stated, “It was Fang Heng who pushed Han! He did it on purpose!”
Fang Zhixing loudly interrogated, “Where did this child come from? Which class is he from?”
The principal had a vivid impression of Momo and quickly whispered to Fang Zhixing, “This is the child I mentioned to you before, a scholarship special admission, from a single-parent family, his parents divorced, and he lives with his mother…” In just a few words, the principal had clearly laid out Momo’s family background.
Fang Zhixing squinted his eyes, “How does this kind of child qualify to enter Windsor High School?”
The principal said, “It’s said to be Mr. Huo’s idea, this child’s mother, has a profound relationship with Mr. Huo…”
Fang Zhixing immediately understood.
This child was also connected through relationships.
He restrained his attitude a bit, “Young student, don’t make reckless claims without evidence.”
“It was Fang Heng who pushed me into the storage room,” Momo paused and then added, “He has always been bullying Han in class.”
Fang Zhixing panicked, “You must not talk nonsense!” he said while gauging Huo Tingdong’s expression, “How could my son dare to bully Young Master Han!”
Huo Tingdong said to Momo, “Momo, come here.”
Momo walked towards Huo Tingdong, who then lifted Little Baby and sat him on his lap, asking softly, “How are you so sure that it was Fang Heng who pushed?”
Momo said, “During the study class, Fang Heng bullied me and bullied Han. He said I don’t have a father, called Han a dummy, I pushed him a little, therefore he bore a grudge.”
Fang Zhixing nervously said, “All of these are your speculations! It’s a matter of life and death, my son is so young, he wouldn’t even dare to step on an insect.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Yet, he and Han went to the swimming pool together, it’s a fact. Han’s drowning must be related to him. Fang Zhixing, I don’t want to waste my time on you. Within today, properly find out from your son what he said and did, I must have an explanation! Otherwise, you immediately resign from the Windsor board of directors.”
With that, he stood up and left with Momo.
Mo Ke put the tablet into his briefcase, glanced at Fang Zhixing and the principal, and ominously said, “Chairman Fang, you also know, Young Master Han is the apple of Mr. Huo’s eye, this matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly.”
Having said that, he strode away.
Fang Zhixing’s breathing hastened, just the thought of his son being involved in Han’s drowning made his scalp tingle.
…
On the return journey.
Momo held his schoolbag, sitting quietly in his seat, staring straight ahead.
Huo Tingdong’s gaze, however, constantly lingered on him.
Momo glanced at him and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Was that section of surveillance video sent by you?”
Momo was a bit surprised, “How did you know?” He initially didn’t want to say it.
Huo Tingdong said, “Because you are capable of it.” He had sent Mo Ke to investigate the matter. Mo Ke said that he hadn’t been shown those surveillance footage at the time, Huo Tingdong then guessed that those segments must have been erased by someone.
He suspected Momo had hacked into Windsor’s surveillance network, restored the footage, and sent the video to him.
This matter was too peculiar, firstly, exactly how did Han drown?
Secondly, how did Momo discover it so promptly?
He said it was “intuition,” which was the part Huo Tingdong understood the least.
He didn’t believe that a seven-year-old child could have such strong “intuition!”
Back home.
Lin Qi hasn’t finished work and come back yet.
Huo Tingdong was about to call Lin Qi when he received a phone call from Mrs. Fang.
“Mr. Huo… It’s Ji Ya,” Mrs. Fang said on the phone, in a sly yet polite tone. “Where do you live, Mr. Huo? I will bring my son to your door to offer apologies.”
Huo Tingdong replied, “There’s no need to visit.”
Mrs. Fang nervously said, “Mr. Huo, it should never have happened, it was my fault for not disciplining my son properly! But things may not be as you imagine, we should at least hear what the child has to say, please give my son a chance to explain!”
Huo Tingdong slightly furrowed his brows and said, “I don’t have much time, be brief.”
“Okay! Okay!”
Soon, Fang Zhixing arrived with his wife and child.
They entered.
Fang Zhixing and Mrs. Fang stood at the entrance, their son hiding behind them, simply because Huo Tingdong’s presence was overwhelmingly intense.
As the saying goes, there’s always someone better, and above those people, there’s the Huo Family.
In the face of absolute authority, even Mrs. Fang’s previously arrogant demeanor had to humble, “How is the young master doing?”
Huo Tingdong said, “He has been discharged, resting at home.”
Mrs. Fang tentatively asked, “The young master is not in any serious danger, right?”
Huo Tingdong responded, “My son is not in life-threatening condition, are you disappointed?”
Mrs. Fang, appearing frightened, quickly waved her hands, “Mr. Huo, don’t say such things! It’s too much for me to accept! I questioned my son today.”
Mrs. Fang stammered, recounting the causes and effects of the incident she was aware of.
It truly was because of that incident during self-study that Fang Heng harbored resentment and thus locked Momo in the storage room. Han saw and tried to grab the keys from him. Fang Heng ran into the swimming pool with the keys clenched, and Han, in an attempt to retrieve the keys and rescue Momo, scuffled with him there. As a result, Han accidentally fell into the water.
Terrified, Fang Heng ran back to the classroom and went home, not daring to mention the incident to anyone.
Mrs. Fang said, “The child was too scared, terrified after the accident involving Young Master Han; he didn’t speak because he was afraid. It took a whole day of questioning before I finally got the facts clear. Mr. Huo, children will inevitably fight and act without thinking due to their young age; it was an unintended mistake. Could you possibly not blow this out of proportion..”
As she spoke, she quickly piled a stack of gifts on the floor.
There were gold ingots and expensive supplements, items worth millions in total, heaped up in the entryway.
Seeing the stern face of Huo Tingdong and his silence, she hastily pushed her son forward, “Fang Heng, apologize quickly!”
Fang Heng burst into loud sobbing, “Wuu wuu wuu! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to…”
Huo Tingdong said to the nanny, “Bring Han out.”
“Yes.”
The nanny brought Han out.
Han rubbed his eyes and looked at Fang Heng, his eyebrows furrowed with slight anger.
Mrs. Fang grew more nervous, her face turning pale with beads of cold sweat.
Fang Heng also looked somewhat guilty.
However, Han really had lost the memory of the incident and couldn’t recall any reason, he turned around, hugged Huo Tingdong’s neck, buried his little face in his shoulder, and rubbed his eyes, clearly just awakened.
Fang Heng continued to cry and apologize, “Wuu wuu wuu, I understand my mistake! I understand my mistake…”
Mrs. Fang said, “Mr. Huo, do we really have to kneel and kowtow for your forgiveness?” then she pushed Fang Heng a bit, “Mr. Huo, I will make my son kowtow in apology right now.”
Fang Heng “plopped” onto the ground and started knocking his head on the floor while crying.
What do you think?
