In the meantime, Huo Zhendong was being interrogated by the police officers in the comfort of his own home.

“Can you explain to me in detail about your relationship with Miss Fu Yahui?” the police officer sitting directly opposite Huo Zhendong started questioning him.

“We met at a cocktail party five years ago. At that time, I was abroad because I was managing one of my small business ventures. We quickly fell in love as soon as we met because she took the initiative to approach me and profess her love to me. She then told me that she had seven billion yuan on hand and she wanted to start a business together with me,” Huo Zhendong explained.

“Did you not ask her about the source of the money?”

“Of course, I did. She told me that her late husband had left the money for her as inheritance and I simply believed whatever she had told me,” Huo Zhendong continued explaining. “If I had known about the origins of the money, I would have made a police report earlier.”

“So, you are telling me that you did not know anything about Miss Fu Yahui’s domestic affairs?”

“I did not even know that her real name was Fu Yahui at first because she had always gone by the name Ava. I have only found out about her true identity recently,” Huo Zhendong replied.

“So, did you not know anything about your wife’s involvement in the criminal acts?” the police officer asked once again.

“Of course not! I am a legitimate businessman. I am not after her wealth or money, as you can see from the ownership and allocation of Dongheng Enterprise’s shares.”

The two police officers sitting across from Huo Zhendong stared at him intensely before asking him one last question, “Mr. Huo, do you think that your wife deserves to be punished for her crimes?”

“I am a law-abiding citizen who believes that all crimes should be punished by law,” Huo Zhendong replied naturally.

The police officers were unable to get any information out of Huo Zhendong. He had successfully shirked his own responsibilities and pushed the blame entirely onto Fu Yahui.

On the surface, he really looked like a responsible and law-abiding citizen.

However, the police officers were not in a hurry because they knew that Fu Yahui would definitely reveal the whole truth as soon as she heard Huo Zhendong’s testimony against her.

After the police officers left, Huo Yuxi came out of her bedroom and quickly sat down opposite Huo Zhendong.

“Dad, are you sure that we can really leave safely by doing this?”

“I have already booked flight tickets for you to leave Luo City the day after tomorrow. I want you to go overseas to treat your illness as soon as possible. You should not be delaying treatment anymore.” Huo Zhendong changed the topic to Huo Yuxi’s condition instead.

“Are you using my illness as an excuse to run away?” Huo Yuxi asked, as she could immediately see through Huo Zhendong’s intention.

“Why must I run away? I have been upright and I did not break any law. Even if Fu Yahui tries to drag me down with her, there is no way the police will have any evidence to arrest me. For the past few years, I had been very careful to ensure that Fu Yahui would not have any evidence that she could use against me. The best thing you should do right now is to obey my commands and head overseas. I will join you after a short while in a place where no one knows who we are, and both of us can start afresh again.”

Huo Yuxi stared at her father and she suddenly felt as though he was a complete stranger.

“Can you really bring yourself to leave just like that?”

“Of course. I have already opened a hotel abroad and the money that I had invested in the hotel is clean and has nothing to do with Fu Yahui or Dongheng Enterprise,” Huo Zhendong replied confidently. “Daughter, the police officers might come and question you tomorrow. You just have to act according to what I tell you and everything will turn out perfectly fine. Do you understand?”

“I finally understand why my mother had chosen to leave you in the past.”

Such selfishness…and hypocrisy.

Fu Yahui had helped him and his family so much, but ever since the first day, he had already been plotting about how he could get his hands on Fu Yahui’s money.

Huo Yuxi thought that her father would at least feel a little sentimental because of the past five years that he had spent with Fu Yahui as husband and wife.
