Chapter 1359 I'll show you a magic trick to turn a living person into a dead one.
Just as the old woman was about to speak, a wailing sound rang out. With the sound, He Hongsen's stepmother rushed in like a madwoman. In just one night, her husband was dead, and her two biological sons were dead.
She stood outside looking at the charred corpse, weeping uncontrollably. She pushed aside the servant who was supporting her and stumbled into the hall.
She pointed at Ho Hongsen and cursed through gritted teeth.
"You bastard! Who gave you the audacity to burn my two sons to death? You bastard, your heart is made of iron! I know you hate me, you hate me for taking your mother's place back then. If it weren't for me, your mother wouldn't have died in the mental hospital."
Ho Hung Sen, if you want to hate someone, hate me. If you want to deal with someone, come at me. Hung Ming and Ah Tsai, no matter what, are still your Ho family bloodlines. How could you be so ruthless as to burn them alive with gasoline?
"You little bastard, if you've got the guts, kill me today too."
Ho Hong Sen's face was ashen as he knelt there, his fists clenched tightly.
Just as Sir Ho was about to speak, the old lady stopped him.
“Hong Sen, what you did today has indeed broken the Ho family rules, turning against your own flesh and blood. I know you have been resentful towards me and Xiu'e because of your mother’s situation.”
But there's nothing we can do about it. Your mother is Portuguese, and she doesn't have Chinese blood. This is the result of your father's infidelity. We're just trying to restore the purity of the bloodline.
Since you've broken the family rules, as your elder, I must punish you. Like the uncles and brothers outside, you'll have your legs broken. Go to Portugal and never come back.
Ho Hongsen looked up at Sir Ho, who kept his head down and remained silent.
He Hongsen slowly stood up. He was already tall, and when he stood up, he looked down at everyone. He looked at the old lady and asked with a smile.
"Grandma, you call me a mixed-race bastard, but have you ever thought that half of my blood is your son's? I'm his flesh and blood too. He's the one who married my mother through proper channels."
You and this woman slandered my mother as mentally ill, locked her in a mental hospital, and tortured her to death.
"You eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day, are you afraid my mother will crawl up from hell to find you? Or have you done too many bad things in your life, so you want to chant scriptures to repent and wash away some of your sins?"
The old lady looked at her usually obedient grandson in surprise, as if she had never known him before.
Sir He turned his head and whispered a word.
"Hun Sen, shut up! This is your grandmother. How can you talk back to your elder?"
"An elder? Hahaha..."
Ho Hongsen burst into loud laughter and looked at Sir Ho as he spoke.
"Come on, Second Uncle. I know you've always used me as a puppet, pushing me to the forefront while letting my eldest and second brothers direct me from behind the scenes. You want my eldest brother to inherit your title and my second brother to inherit your family fortune, but you still can't leave a stain on my reputation."
So that's why you pushed your obedient nephew to the front, isn't that right, Uncle? No wonder people say you're cunning and calculating; you did this on purpose today, didn't you?
My father is dead, my two brothers of pure blood are dead, and those people outside have lost their legs. As for whether or not you want them to be restored to their former state, that depends on your decision.
Now the He family's entire fortune belongs to you, isn't that perfect? But in the end, you pretended to be unwell, unable to even strangle your brother, and then winked at Mingsheng to kill him for you.
Look at your impeccable image! Enduring humiliation and hardship for the sake of your family, even sacrificing your own relatives for the greater good—all of this was part of your plan. You are indeed shrewd.
This time, Sir Ho's hands stopped trembling and his legs stopped shaking. He stood up with a smile, and his two sons stood behind him.
Sir John clapped his hands and turned to his two sons.
"I've always told you that to do great things, you need a broad perspective, intuition, and sound judgment. You see, what you lack is Hun Sen's keen intuition."
So you all need to observe, listen, and practice more, otherwise how will you inherit the He family's vast fortune? As for you, Hun Sen, since things have come to this point, you should do as your grandmother said and break your own legs. I'll have someone send you to Portugal, where you'll be set for life.”
He Hongsen gave a cold laugh.
"Second Uncle, do you think you've won?"
Sir He waved his hand and sat down next to the old lady.
“This child, we’re family, what’s the point of talking about winning or losing? Your father and your two younger brothers are all dead, leaving you heartbroken and fleeing overseas. What a perfect ending. Don’t forget, I waited ten whole years for this ending.”
Ho Hong Sen laughed heartily.
"So, Mingsheng, what do you say? Even I, a bastard, won't get any benefit, let alone you, an outsider. Have you thought it through?"
He Mingsheng slowly stood up. He had been adopted by the He family and had always been treated as their slave. He extended his right hand and shook hands with He Hongsen.
“Let’s cooperate. From now on, the Ho family and the casino will split the profits 30/70, with you getting 70% and me getting 30%.”
He Hongsen shook his hand vigorously.
"Deal! Someone come here!"
At his shout of "Guards!", countless men dressed in black rushed in from all directions of the manor, subdued the men and women on the grass, and then stormed into the hall.
Sir Ho and the old lady's expressions suddenly changed, and they pointed at Ho Hongsen and roared.
"You wretched creature, what are you trying to do?"
Ho Hongsen smiled slightly.
"It's nothing. I'm going to perform a magic trick for Uncle and Grandma, a magic trick that turns a living person into a dead person."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and grabbed his stepmother by the neck. His stepmother struggled desperately in fright, and He Hongsen said softly.
"Don't move, it will be over soon..."
He was strong and powerful, and his arms slowly tightened. His stepmother rolled her eyes and exhaled her last breath.
He Hongsen loosened his grip, and his stepmother collapsed limply. Sir He's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected this to be the real crisis facing the He family.
"Second Uncle, the He family will cease to exist. In the future, the only families with the surname He in Macau will be my He Hongsen and He Mingsheng. As for you, your bodies will be lost forever and thrown into the sea."
"You've been meticulously planning all this all along? You're so cunning. Did you deliberately send Amin and Snake there? Actually, it's quite easy. You just need to give your brainless father a little encouragement, and they'll naturally fall into the trap you set."
You must know Qin's identity. Good, good, good. He is a Duke of the British Empire, the Queen's godson, and the Chief Secretary for Security of Hong Kong. Let alone a mere baron like me, even the Governor of Macau would only be a dog in front of him.
"As long as those two fools make a move on Qin's wife, whether they succeed or not, they will enrage the Duke. So, the opportunity you've been waiting for has arrived, isn't that right?"
