Chapter 884 - Brainless Fool (1/2)

Huo Ci’s eyes blazed with fury. “Fine, let’s bet then. Since I said I didn’t do it, it means I didn’t do it! Let’s bet all the mines I have!”

As soon as Huo Ci finished speaking, the expressions of the other families became even more interesting. Everyone in the family coveted the mines in Sixth Brother’s possession, but so what? It could only mean that he was lucky!

The Huo Family had a lot of mines around the world, but they were all mines that had been bought by their ancestors. Many of them had not been mined before. Some had been explored, and some were rich while others were poor.

When the Old Master had given the mines to them, no one had been willing to accept the diamond mine. After exploring it, they had discovered that it was an extremely barren mine. There were not many things in it, and it was not enough to mine!

However, there were times when prospecting a mine was not accurate. After mining, they discovered that this was not a poor mine but a rich, profitable one.

When they had found out the outcome, the brothers had nearly died of anger. They had gritted their teeth in hatred and utmost regret. But they could only watch helplessly, green with envy of his annual dividend!

Ling Sheng, who was watching from above, had not expected a gambling bet to become involved because of this incident. Hey, did you guys forget that there was still someone lying on the ground?!

Indeed, there was no kinship to speak of among wealthy, aristocratic families. What they talked about was benefits. Look at Cao Yunxian, who had fallen to such a state. Her husband was still in the mood to gamble with someone else based on her accident.

However, based on the expressions of the people below, she could also guess that the mine her father was talking about was definitely very attractive. What kind of mine was it? What if he lost? Judging by her Fifth Uncle’s behavior, he seemed to be getting ready to bring in the big guns.

Cao Yunxian gnashed her teeth and swallowed her blood. At this moment, she wanted to skin Huo Ci alive and drink his blood. Her eyes were sinister as she clenched her fists tightly. Pain was nothing at this point. As long as she could bleed Sixth Brother Huo of copious amounts of money, she did not care about anything else!

He must have done it! He was definitely the one who did it! He dared to bet because he was sure that they would not be able to seize his mistake. He should not forget that her husband’s good friend was the number one investigator in the National Search Department!

“It’s a deal.” When Huo Pei received Huo Ci’s reply, he felt his body start to tremble from excessive excitement. When he thought of the abundant ores, his breathing became hurried.

“A gentleman keeps his word.” After saying that, Huo Ci turned around angrily and went upstairs. After shouting at Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi, he kicked the door open and slammed it shut.

The corners of Huo Pei’s lips curled up smugly. It was as though that mine was already in his pocket. He thought about all that money. With those few mines, why would he still have to care about the family assets? Let the few useless pieces of trash left fight for it!

Ling Sheng did not know how her uncles viewed her biological father. Were they blind or brainless? Or were they unable to judge themselves accurately

Why did she keep feeling that all of them felt that her father was a brainless fool who could be conned to the max and was easily provoked with an explosive temper?

Actually, that was what she had thought at first too. Excluding his face and the image he upheld outside, he had a bad temper at home and was easily angered. He seemed like a brainless and irritable tyrant.

However, that really wasn’t the case. If this was the case, how could he have maintained his current status and reputation steadily for decades?

The ambulance arrived quickly. Many doctors and nurses came and lifted Cao Yunxian to the hospital. Only Huo Pei and his son, Huo Xuan’an, followed them.

When the remaining people saw the ambulance leave, they finally looked at one another with different thoughts. However, they all knew that Huo Ci was behind this.

However, they did not know if the truth could be found out. If Sixth Brother was really discovered to be guilty of the crime, the many mines he had would benefit Fifth Brother.
