Chapter 279 A new understanding of her cruelty
As an experienced researcher who has studied for decades, the old expert naturally does not believe that the legendary dragon really exists.
However, in recent years, he has encountered more and more miraculous events in the scientific research projects he has participated in.
Some of them sound like fairy tales, but for some of them, there are many eyewitnesses. Even if these researchers want to deny them from a scientific point of view, they cannot deny it.
The old expert adjusted the heavy reading glasses on his nose, and the eyes behind the lenses were full of entanglement and confusion.
He has been working in the field of scientific research for most of his life and has always believed that all phenomena can be explained by scientific principles. However, the matter before him is like an insurmountable chasm in front of him.
He recalled a deep-sea exploration project he participated in two years ago.
When the research vessel went deep into the seabed of the East China Sea, the sonar detected a huge unidentified object with an irregular shape but an unimaginable size.
When the submersible approached, the object emitted a strange wave that interfered with all electronic equipment.
What's even more bizarre is that a diver vaguely saw a creature shaped like a giant octopus through a special observation window. Its tentacles were hundreds of meters long and it emitted a faint blue light all over its body.
But when the submersible approached again, the creature disappeared without a trace, leaving only a mysterious darkness.
Another time, while conducting geological exploration in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, the scientific research team discovered an ancient relic.
The ruins were filled with strange symbols and patterns, including a huge bronze door. No matter what they did, they could not leave any mark on the door.
And beneath the ruins, they detected unusually powerful radiation, a type never seen before and that did not match any known radiation source on Earth.
These experiences have given the old experts a new understanding of the unknown world.
At this moment, looking at the report on the wreckage of the Kangaroo Country military aircraft in his hand, the strange impact marks on it seemed to be silently telling a story beyond common sense.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there really a mysterious power in this world that has not yet been touched by science?
Is it possible that dragon, this legendary creature, really appears in reality?
The veteran expert decided to call together the core members of the team to conduct another in-depth study of the wreckage.
They magnified every detail of the wreckage and even used the most advanced particle collision equipment to try to find clues at the microscopic level.
However, several days passed and nothing was learned except that it was confirmed that this force was definitely not caused by conventional weapons.
"Is it really a dragon?"
The old expert murmured in a low voice, his voice full of fatigue and confusion.
His mind involuntarily emerged the legends about dragons that he had heard as a child, the dragons that could summon the wind and rain, and ride on clouds and mist. Could it be that these were just legends?
Not to mention how the old expert struggled with his own thoughts, just to say that after Huo Qinghuang and Huo Lingchuan returned to the Huo family, they were surrounded by everyone in the Huo family, and they kept pulling at Huo Lingchuan's head as if he were a monster.
"Fifth brother, were you really shot? How come there is no mark at all? Are you guys lying to me?"
Huo Jiayue pressed Huo Lingchuan's head, groping his head with her little hands, and asked with a suspicious look on her face.
She just received a call today and learned that Huo Lingchuan had been shot in the head and nearly died. She was so scared that her heart almost stopped and she immediately rushed back to the Huo family without stopping.
Huo Lingchuan reluctantly slapped her hand away, smiled bitterly and said, "How could I lie to you about something like this? Feel it, there really is no wound at all, I find it incredible myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Huo Qinghuang, with confusion and shock in their eyes, but not fear.
"Can you tell me specifically how you rescued Lao Wu?"
Huo Yuheng looked at Huo Qinghuang and Huo Lingchuan and asked curiously.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head slightly: "It's hard to talk about this matter, it's a secret."
Huo Yuheng's pupils shrank slightly, and all kinds of guesses arose in his mind.
His daughter had never been shy about doing anything, but this was the first time she had acted so cautiously.
It seems that the process of rescuing Lao Wu is indeed extraordinary.
Huo Yuheng did not ask any further questions, but just nodded slightly to show his understanding.
At this time, Mrs. Huo slowly spoke: "No matter what, it's good that the people come back safely. The deaths of the Qiu family members are strange, so we have to be on guard, and there is no guarantee that there won't be other people with ill intentions ready to make a move."
Hearing this, everyone except Mrs. Huo and Huo Jiayue looked at Huo Qinghuang meaningfully.
But she looked indifferent, as if the death of the Qiu family was an extremely trivial matter.
Several people couldn't help but have a new understanding of how cruel and ruthless she was.
"Qing Huang, what do you think we should do next?"
Huo Lingjun thought for a moment and then asked.
"As for business matters, you can handle them on your own. I believe that the Qiu family has been almost acquired by you. Next, you should prepare yourself and acquire the Song family's assets as soon as Song Zhiqiao dies."
Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about the rest."
Huo Lingjun was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Huo Qinghuang had already achieved this in secret.
"What about Songzhi Bridge? Do we need to make any preparations?"
He asked again, a hint of caution in his tone.
Mrs. Huo looked at this and then at that.
Since when, whenever Qing Huang was present, she was the one who dominated the whole scene and gave orders. Even Lao Huo agreed with her decisions.
She didn't know whether this situation was good or bad, but she believed that her children were all good and there would definitely not be a day when the siblings would fall out.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head gently, with a cold smile on her lips: "You don't have to do anything, just wait for the news. Song Zhiqiao's death is not far away."
Huo Qinghuang's words were like a gust of cold wind, blowing through the hearts of everyone in the Huo family.
Everyone's heart trembled. They knew that since Huo Qinghuang said this, she must have her plan, and this plan had probably been secretly planned for a long time.
Although Huo Jiayue was simple, she could also sense the solemn atmosphere. She pulled Huo Qinghuang's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you going to deal with the Song family?"
Huo Qinghuang looked at her, her expression softened a bit: "Don't ask too many questions, just study hard, go home after school, and don't run around."
"I see."
Huo Jiayue nodded obediently.
Since the kidnapping, she has not been anywhere except school and home. Even when Gu Weiwei asked her to go shopping, she refused.
Weiwei seems angry, so next time, should I invite her to come over to my house to play?
Huo Jiayue tilted his head and thought.
"Qing Huang, you must be careful when doing these things and don't put yourself in danger."
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Qinghuang, her eyes full of worry.
Huo Qinghuang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. By the way, where are Yuchen and Baoer?"
Today is Saturday and the two children should be at home, but they are nowhere to be seen, which makes Huo Qinghuang a little confused.
"Your sister-in-law took them to Yuchen's grandfather's house to play, and they will be sent back tomorrow."
When talking about her eldest grandson and Baoer, Mrs. Huo's face was full of smiles, and fine wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
