Fu Chengbiao's move once again stirred up a turmoil in the imperial capital.

No matter how turbulent the imperial capital is, the garrison on the border cannot feel it.

The old lady of the Huo family was secretly stewing something in her own place.

As soon as the stew was finished, she quickly put it in an enamel pot and prepared to send it to Mr. Huo. The stew she had made was something she had asked her son to send over with great difficulty.

It was said that it belonged to a cousin's wife in their family, and it was with great difficulty that the thing was preserved.

In fact, many people eat this thing, but no one talks about it and they eat it secretly.

As soon as Mrs. Huo was sent to the hospital, she was stopped by Huo Bei's men.

The old lady was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed when she saw that the food she had been stewing for almost a day was taken away.

"I'm stewing pig's stomach, why are you stealing my pig's stomach?

Oh my God! I'm going to die. Who is so heartless?

How dare you steal my old lady's things!"

Unfortunately, the old lady was too domineering in the hospital. Both medical staff and patients would avoid her when they saw her, let alone anyone who went to comfort her.

Old Mrs. Huo was jumping up and down for a long time, but Huo Bei's people ignored her and ran away with their things.

In the end, the hospital director couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to take her away.

The old lady wanted to throw a tantrum, but was threatened that if she continued to do so, she would send the whole family away. Mrs. Huo immediately lost her temper. You know, at home, Old Man Huo would only occasionally wake up and say a few words; most of the time he was asleep.

Although I am still lying in bed and unable to move, I am awake most of the time and can discuss things with her.

If Old Man Huo can wake up, Old Mrs. Huo will have more say in the Huo family.

Old Mrs. Huo returned to her residence reluctantly and quietly.

She didn't make a fuss, not because she knew she was wrong, but because there was an enamel pot in her house.

When the stew was done, she and Old Man Huo each had an enamel pot. Now one pot had been snatched away, so she still had the other one. She thought she would secretly give half of it to the old man later in the evening.

She had heard that eating this thing could increase a person's lifespan. She didn't know if it was true or not, but since others could eat it, she would eat it too.

At night, Fu Chengbiao was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Huang Lingling asked in a daze, "What happened?"

"You go to sleep. I'll go check it out. It's very cold outside. Don't get up."

Fu Chengbiao put on his clothes and went to open the door, only to see Zhou Zhou outside.

"What's going on? Are the enemies making any moves?"

"Hey, no, it's the old man from the Huo family who choked to death. Let's go over and take a look!"

"What? Choked to death?

How could this old man be so restless? Didn’t he only eat liquid food? How did he choke to death?

"Let's go, we'll talk on the way."

"Row."

Fu Chengbiao put on his clothes and hat and walked towards the hospital with Zhou Zhou.

Although it was three o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn and everything on the road could be seen clearly.

The two rushed to the hospital ward and saw Huo Dong sitting in a wheelchair with red eyes, also in Old Man Huo's room.

Mr. Huo on the bed had a purple face and wide-open eyes, and he had obviously died of suffocation.

Fu Chengbiao walked forward to check and found that there seemed to be a foreign object left in the old man's throat.

"what happened?

"Didn't they say they only feed him liquid food? How could he choke to death?" Fu Chengbiao asked.

A young nurse who was in charge of taking care of Mr. Huo wiped away tears. "It was the old lady who brought a jar of something and said she wanted to feed Mr. Huo. I told her not to eat it, but she refused to listen and even chased me away. By the time I heard her screaming and rushed over, it was too late."

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Old Mrs. Huo who was shivering in the corner.

She cried and said, "I didn't know it would be like this. I heard people say that eating this can make you live longer, but I didn't know it could choke you to death.

I've been stewing it for a long time, it's very soft! How come..."

Fu Chengbiao frowned, thinking that something was amiss. He carefully examined the remaining food and found some hard lumps, like bones, mixed in.

"Why is there cartilage in here?"

Fu Chengbiao looked around.

"Where is the doctor on duty tonight? Why didn't he provide timely rescue?" Fu Chengbiao asked the young nurse next to him.

By this time I hadn't seen a doctor.

"Boss, we originally had two doctors, but unfortunately, two pregnant women were about to give birth and were bleeding heavily, so the doctors haven't come out of the operating room yet! We sent someone to the family compound to call for another doctor, but the one who went to call the doctor was ambushed and broke his leg."

It can only be said that it was God's will that Old Man Huo would die tonight.

The conditions of the patients in the hands of the two doctors on duty were very critical and they had no time to save Old Man Huo. The person sent to call other doctors was ambushed and broke his leg on the way.

While a few people were talking, Dr. Zhou hurried in.

Fu Chengbiao knew in his heart that there must be someone's deliberate planning behind this seemingly coincidental event.

His eyes glared at everyone present. "This incident is definitely not accidental. We will thoroughly investigate."

Fu Chengbiao turned around and took the bowl that Old Man Huo was eating from and questioned Old Mrs. Huo, "Where did you get this pig's stomach from? He can't eat pig's stomach at all. Why did you think of stewing pig's stomach for him to eat? And it looks like there's more than just pig's stomach in it, right?"

Old Mrs. Huo trembled and said, "It was brought from a relative. I don't know what happened." Old Mrs. Huo was too guilty to look at Fu Chengbiao.

"Tell me, what is in this that Mr. Huo must eat?"

"me."

Mrs. Huo, I didn't want to tell you what that thing was for a long time.

There was nothing Huo Dong didn't know from seeing his grandmother's evasive look.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"That's the end of the matter. Master Fu, thank you for your hard work. The rest of the matter will be left to the Huo family to handle. This matter will not involve you, and it has nothing to do with the hospital."

Huo Dong knew that the person was already dead, and it would be useless to involve Fu Chengbiao in the matter. Fu Chengbiao would not do anything to hurt the old man. It could only be said that their Huo family was being targeted by someone.

Also, the things my grandma did cannot be known to others, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Fu Chengbiao knew that although Mrs. Huo was confused, she would not kill anyone, and he was afraid that she was being used by someone. Since Huo Dong said that he didn't need to intervene, he was happy to be free.

"In that case, we'll be leaving first. If you need any help, you can send someone to find me."

"Yeah. I know."

As soon as Fu Chengbiao left, Old Mrs. Huo told her eldest grandson everything she had done.

I have to tell you! The eldest grandson's eyes look like he wants to eat someone.

When Huo Dong heard the old lady say that the things were sent by his father, he was completely speechless.

They are really willing to eat anything to achieve immortality. The old man doesn’t know how long he hasn’t eaten normal food. He doesn’t even know if he can swallow it. Don’t they even consider these things?

Now it’s okay, he’s choked to death!

People who want to live forever die early, it's really...

Although there are people behind this who are trying to sabotage it, aren't they giving others an opportunity?

After Huo Dong calmed down, he decided to investigate the matter secretly on his own.

Huo Bei arrived at noon the next day. He couldn't believe that his grandfather died like this.

Although he knew that the old man and the old woman were unreliable for eating that thing, he had also studied that thing and many people said it was a tonic, so he did not stop them. Anyway, it would not kill people.

I didn't expect that it would actually eat someone to death.
