Chapter 231: Talking Nonsense

Upon hearing this, the Huo family members exchanged glances.

Ever since Huo Tingying's illness had improved, everyone could see that Old Master Huo was inclined to hand over the Huo family to Huo Tingying, leaving nothing for Huo Jinzhou.

But what happened last night? How did Huo Jinzhou manage to sneak back into the Huo Group?

Everyone knew that Huo Jinzhou’s abilities were far less than half of Huo Tingying's.

Moreover, he was still entangled with Yun Shuiyao, that troublemaker. Don’t think changing her name would fool anyone.

What new storm is this kid trying to stir up now? He even brought Huo Mingying back as an ally.

Everyone had learned their lesson and dared not offend Huo Tingying, the god of death, again.

But watching the show was still acceptable.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the doorway.

Surrounded by bodyguards in neatly pressed suits, Huo Tingying entered the living room of the Huo family, causing the air inside to chill abruptly.

With long strides, he sat directly in the main seat of the living room.

His deep, cold voice rang out.

"Speak if you have something to say."

As always, his domineering manner remained unchanged. Not just within the Huo family, but throughout the entire capital, Huo Tingying was untouchable.

Huo Jinzhou sneered inwardly.

Today would be the last time Huo Tingying could flaunt his power in the Huo family.

Originally, his plan with Huo Mingying wasn't to reveal this so soon.

But last night, Yun Shuiyao acted on her own and told Huo Tingying about it. To prevent any further complications, he and Huo Mingying had no choice but to act immediately.

Huo Jinzhou composed himself, cleared his throat, and got straight to the point, "I called everyone here today to seek your advice on how to expel my brother from the Huo family."

The crowd gasped in shock.

They were unaware of Huo Tingying's background and thought Huo Jinzhou had lost his mind.

Expel Huo Tingying from the Huo family? Has he gone mad?

Could it be that Huo Jinzhou has gone crazy trying to get control of the Huo Group?

The crowd was in an uproar, but Huo Tingying remained calm, showing no signs of distress.

A distant relative of the Huo family whispered, "Expel President Huo from the Huo family? On what grounds?"

"Exactly! Jinzhou, did Tingying do something terrible?"

Second Uncle Huo was visibly excited, his schadenfreude evident.

Huo Jinzhou's lips curled slightly as he turned towards Huo Tingying. "This concerns your origins. Should I speak or will you?"

Second Uncle Huo couldn't wait. "Jinzhou, don't keep us in suspense. Just say it!"

Huo Jinzhou nodded. "Then I'll be direct. The reason I want to expel my brother from the Huo family is because he isn't actually a member of the Huo family!"

The room erupted in shock.

"Jinzhou, what are you saying?"

"Tingying isn't a member of the Huo family? What does that mean? Could it be..."

The crowd murmured, all looking at Huo Tingying with probing eyes.

Huo Tingying's lips curved slightly, showing no sign of losing composure.

He even raised his hand and said, "Go on."

Huo Jinzhou admired his composure and, without hesitation, faced the crowd. "As you guessed, my brother is not my father's biological son. He is Yi Qinglan's child from another man, with no blood ties to our family!"

The revelation caused another uproar.

Third Uncle Huo looked at Huo Tingying in disbelief, suspiciously stopping Huo Jinzhou.

"Second nephew, you can't just say things like that! Your father acknowledged Tingying as his illegitimate son, and Grandfather loved him dearly. You need evidence for these claims!"

Second Uncle Huo, unable to contain his joy, urged, "Jinzhou, Second Uncle believes you wouldn't make this up. If you have evidence, show it!"

"Exactly! If President Huo isn't a Huo, Grandfather wouldn't have treated him so kindly!"

Huo Jinzhou sneered. "That's because Grandfather thought he was Father's son and felt guilty. But he isn't even an illegitimate child! At best, he's a bastard!"

With a sidelong glance at the composed man, he slammed a document onto the table.

"Grandfather has seen this paternity test. Please take a look, Uncles!"

Since Huo Mingying hinted at Huo Tingying's questionable background, he secretly obtained DNA samples from Huo Tingying and Grandfather for testing.

It was genuine and undeniable!

The crowd passed the document around, gasping in shock!

They never expected that Huo Tingying truly had no blood ties to the Huo family!

"This paternity test report comes from the most authoritative medical department in the capital, guaranteed to be authentic! Of course, if you don't believe it, feel free to verify it yourself."

To dispel everyone's doubts, Huo Jinzhou handed the certificate to Huo Tingying.

However, Huo Tingying did not reach out to take it. He waved his hand and smiled, "No need."

From the moment Huo Mingying returned, he knew they were plotting something and had vaguely guessed that they would use his origins against him.

After meeting Yun Shuiyao last night, he had already had Lu Nansen conduct a test.

He took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and the icy blue flame flickered, casting a cold light on his narrow eyes.

"Let's get straight to the point. What do you want?"

Seeing that the situation was settled, Huo Jinzhou glanced at Huo Tingying and then at everyone else.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Huo Tingying is not my father's son and has no connection to the Huo family whatsoever, he must give up all the shares of the Huo family he currently holds!"

Second Uncle Huo immediately chimed in, "Right! And his wife Yun Mu must return everything she took from me and Third Uncle! Not only that, but he should also be removed from the family tree and stripped of all inheritance rights!"

Someone interjected, "What's the point? Huo Tingying doesn't even care about the Huo Group; stripping him of inheritance rights means nothing to him!"

Huo Jinzhou sneered, "Of course, it's not just that! How can anyone say that Huo Tingying didn't rely on the Huo Group to secretly strengthen the Emperor Group, or use the resources of the Huo Group?"

This statement was somewhat flattering to the Huo Group.

What scale does the Emperor Group have, needing to rely on the Huo Group?

But Second Uncle Huo immediately climbed the ladder, saying what Huo Jinzhou couldn't bring himself to say.

"That's right! Who knows how many projects Huo Tingying secretly took and how much money he diverted to strengthen the Emperor Group! We can't let him leave the Huo family so easily. At the very least, he should hand over 20% of the Emperor Group's shares as compensation! It's like paying back the Huo family for raising him!"

This statement caused an uproar in the room.

How audacious of Second Uncle Huo!

Twenty percent of the Emperor Group's shares—he was trying to bite off half of the Emperor Group!

Everyone looked at Huo Tingying, waiting for this god of death to unleash his fury.

Huo Tingying, under everyone's gaze, remained calm, his expression unchanged, and gave Huo Jinzhou a cold glance.

"Are you dreaming?"
