The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1254 - 1222: Deal, Escort

Huo Zheqian, startled, exclaimed, "You can really do this?"

He had committed many illegal acts during his irrational moments, enough to land him in jail. He couldn’t believe someone could clean it up so thoroughly.

"We are not alone; we are a team, don’t worry," Huashan said, "You just need to focus on recovering, and then follow these steps at work."

Huashan handed Huo Zheqian a sealed kraft paper bag.

They handled it perfectly, but they still needed the cooperation of Huo Zheqian, a key figure!

Huo Zheqian saw the seal on it, which was for Huo Family’s internal use only; accessible only to Old Master Huo, himself, his younger brother, his son, and his nephew Huo Yingjie. No one else had or could use this seal.

Seeing this, Huo Zheqian half believed it.

Upon opening it, he saw the Huo Family’s exclusive secret code inside and fully believed it was from the Huo Family.

It seems his younger brother and nephew had already taken care of everything for him.

Since that was the case, Huo Zheqian could rest easy now.

Ah, having hunted geese all year, he was unexpectedly pecked in the eye by a goose.

Decades, almost ruined by one oversight.

Carelessly following the wrong path laid out by others.

Where did Huo Zheqian dare to sleep? He carefully reviewed the strategy below to have a clear understanding.

Sure enough, by the afternoon, someone had already come to consult with Huo Zheqian. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Huo Zheqian, an old hand in officialdom, together with the strategies previously laid out by Huo Yingjie, arranged his work methodically.

Some families rejoice, others grieve!

But the ordeal was finally over.

Secretary Li, weakened, rested at home, but thanks to the pills provided by Huo Yingjie, felt much better after taking them, and the images of Huo Zheqian involved in those messy affairs gradually faded from his mind.

Huo Yingjie did not want to commit murder to silence him; thus, he had no choice but to let Secretary Li forget those secrets he should not have known.

Thus, Secretary Li turned misfortune into a blessing and could continue working by Huo Zheqian.

Originally, Huo Zheqian wanted to deal with Secretary Li, but after hearing what Huashan said, he set aside such thoughts.

It was not that he was ruthless, but in the upper echelons of society, if those secrets were known to others, they could become a significant catalyst for future downfalls.

Huashan remained in Nanhu Province for half a month, and finally, the incident was resolved.

Huashan returned and told Huo Zhekun the whole story, of course with Huo Yingjie’s consultation.

Old Master Huo and Huo Zhekun also received news, sent people to assist, and finally, no disaster ensued.

"Brother, if your elder brother is unwell, let him retire due to illness while still in office," sighed Old Master Huo. Although he hoped his eldest son’s work would be stable, whether he could retire completely from his position after such an incident was still a question.

Huo Zhekun thought for a moment and said, "I’ve discussed this issue with Yingjie, and he also thinks that elder brother should finish these few years before retiring, which would be a fitting conclusion to his life of integrity. As for his health, though Huashan is young, his medical skills are good. He said elder brother is somewhat weak but can recover after some rest."

Hearing his second son’s words, Old Master Huo was slightly reassured, saying, "That’s good, then I can rest assured."

Song Chunli, hearing that her husband was indeed cursed by someone and now extremely weak, could no longer sit still and began packing to go take care of her husband.

Decades of affection can’t be ended over a couple of quarrels.

Companions in youth, partners in old age—she was angry before but still deeply concerned about her husband.

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll go take care of Zhekun," Song Chunli said to her in-laws in the evening, "I didn’t know Zhekun was cursed before and thought he really wanted a divorce, which made me momentarily lose my senses."

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, Old Madam Huo smiled and said, "Go back, child. Your father and I are old now. We can’t endure long journeys, and our presence might stress Zhekun out. You, old husband and wife, need a good talk, and it will comfort both of your hearts."

"Mhm," Song Chunli nodded, "Anyway, just a couple more years and we can go back to Yanjing to retire and take good care of you elders."

"We’re fine; just take good care of yourselves," Old Master Huo said, "I have a letter here; please give it to Zhekun!"

Hearing that Song Chunli was returning to Nanhu Province, Jiang Lifang brought her family, large and small, to see her sister-in-law off.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved, and the elder brother didn’t actually want to divorce his sister-in-law.

As the young pillar of the Huo Family, Huo Yingjie took personal leave to accompany Song Chunli.

Huo Yingjie’s workload was heavy, but with his brother not home and his father busy, he had to step up, unable to let his aunt travel to Nanhu Province alone. Additionally, he went to reassure his uncle.

Otherwise, his uncle’s temperament might lead him to blame himself greatly, affecting his lifespan.

Seeing that Huo Yingjie was personally sending her, Song Chunli felt apologetic and said, "Yingjie, it’s hard on you. You’re so busy, yet you have to make this trip alone."

"Hehe, Uncle, you are too polite. This is what I should do," laughed Huo Yingjie, "Just you and Yingqi going, I wouldn’t be at ease. Grandfather is old and can’t travel; my father, holding an important position, cannot travel casually, so I had to take leave. Besides, you can only care for uncle’s physical health. I’ll go and talk with him to ease his mind."

Song Chunli nodded. There were some matters among the men of Huo Family that they did not share with the women.

She understood that Huo Yingjie’s trip was likely also to convey the words of Old Master and the younger brother.

Indeed, she could only take care of her husband’s daily needs, but the emotional trauma he received this time was far more severe than the physical.

Huo Yingqi’s legs were already healed; even running slowly was no problem now.

Worried about her parents, she also came along, moving her son directly into her second brother’s house, well cared for by her sister-in-law, which reassured her.

"Mom, don’t be sad anymore, Dad’s body has always been robust, he’ll recover his health quickly," said Huo Yingqi, "The two of us will go and take good care of Dad!"

Her elder brother not around, she needed to take up the responsibility to take good care of her parents.

"Mhm." Song Chunli was pleased, her son was accomplishing great things, and her daughter was also reformed; as long as the old man was fine, she had no complaints left.
