After the Substitute Marriage, I Discovered My Husband is a Hidden Tycoon

I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?

Jiang Can co...

Chapter 375 This is how pregnancy is

Huo Zhixing glanced at the two of them a few times and mumbled, "Oh."

He doesn't seem interested.

The two looked at each other, completely bewildered, when they heard Jiang Can's sweet voice: "Is that Dr. Shen and Lawyer Ye? Come in and sit down for a while!"

Huo Zhixing then stepped aside with a stern face.

Jiang Can nodded and smiled at the two of them, then went to the kitchen to cut fruit.

Shen Xiao and Ye Chen were both smart people. Seeing her blushing face and Huo Zhixing's displeased expression, they immediately guessed what was going on and couldn't help but chuckle.

In the past, it was usually Lao Bai and Fang Han who ruined other people's good deeds, but I never thought that they would have this day.

"What exactly happened?" Huo Zhixing asked Shen Xiao.

That dark face seemed to be telling him: If you don't make any important discoveries, I'll let you off easily!

Shen Xiao pursed his lips and took out a test result.

The various data above can be overwhelming.

However, Huo Zhixing has always had a strong immunity to all kinds of data and a powerful ability to analyze logic. After looking at it for a while, he found the problem—

"Aren't all these values ​​outside the normal range?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Shen Xiao said in a low voice, “Huo Zhiyan has been locked up in Yanyuan these days. I’ve secretly gone to see him a few times. He’s acting very strangely. When he goes crazy, he bangs his head against the wall… And I also discovered that your Wan Xiaolei is secretly injecting him with something when no one is looking.”

Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and aloof.

“I reckon your medical team is well aware of this,” Shen Xiao continued. “But because Huo Zhiyan is the eldest grandson, even though he’s not in power right now, they don’t dare to offend him easily. So they’ve turned a blind eye to this.”

Huo Zhixing asked him, "How did you come up with this report?"

“I found an opportunity to disguise myself as a member of the medical team and sneak into Yanyuan. I drew some blood from Huo Zhiyan and obtained the injection Wan Xiaolei used to inject Huo Zhiyan. I then tested the residue in the injection.”

Huo Zhixing already had a pretty good idea. "It's drugs?"

"It's not particularly pure, but it can give you a feeling of satisfaction after you take it, and it can be addictive, unlike those drugs which are as harmful."

"But long-term use will severely damage the immune system. If someone happens to fall into a drug addiction and dies, the police will probably only conclude that it was a sudden death during the autopsy."

Jiang Can brought out the fruit and placed it on the table, looking at Huo Zhixing with a complicated expression.

“Husband,” she whispered, “do you remember that time Jiang Yao was locked up at the horse farm? She was also mentally unstable and asked us to give her sugar pills!”

“Sugar pills?” Shen Xiao frowned. “I did find similar things in Huo Zhiyan’s bedroom. They were white and pink, and they were small pills.”

Ye Chen continued, "It's probably drugs too! Give me that sugar pill, and I'll give it to my friends in the police. We'll have results soon."

"Yes!" Shen Xiao nodded.

Jiang Can frowned, as she began to understand each and every one of these matters.

She pieced everything together and murmured, "So, Huo Zhiyan and Jiang Yao really are using drugs, and Wan Xiaolei knew about it..."

"Husband!" she exclaimed in surprise, "Do you think that Grandpa's poisoning incident was also Huo Zhiyan's doing? Wan Xiaolei was the one who brought Grandpa the medicine during that time!"

“That’s right.” Huo Zhixing’s eyes darkened; the two of them had the same idea.

"Huo Zhiyan used Wan Xiaolei to drug Grandpa, but Butler Wan is from Lingfeng Bay, so he can frame my dad and Aunt Yun for this!"

Jiang Can bit her lip, immediately called Uncle Cen, and gave him the orders decisively:

"I need Wan Xiaolei's complete resume and background information, the more detailed the better! Also, keep an eye on everyone who gets close to Wan Xiaolei!"

She breathed a sigh of relief after saying that, but when she turned around, she saw three men staring at her blankly.

Especially Huo Zhixing.

She was a little confused, so she went over and looked Huo Zhixing's face from left to right. "Honey, what's wrong? Why are you making that face?"

Huo Zhixing chuckled and patted her head, "You stole all my lines!"

Jiang Can was taken aback, her face turning slightly red.

Shen Xiao laughed too, "I just realized that when two people are together for a long time, they really do start to look alike!"

"Yeah!" Jiang Can joked, "Zhixin has been spending a lot of time with you, the top student, so she must be studying even harder now, right?"

"No, no, no! I'm not like Zhixin!" Shen Xiao chuckled憨厚ly and explained earnestly, "She's my younger sister, we just look like siblings at most!"

"you……"

At this moment, not only was Jiang Can speechless, but Huo Zhixing also looked as if he had choked, and his face turned extremely pale.

"Shen Xiao!" Jiang Can anxiously winked at him, "Why do you still treat Zhixin like a younger sister?"

However, Shen Zhinan didn't understand at all and still answered seriously, "Zhixing and I are brothers! His sister is naturally my sister!"

"Zhixing, Jiang Can, don't worry! Zhixin has been working incredibly hard lately, and getting into Yangcheng Medical University is absolutely no problem! I came here today specifically to remind her to do a couple more practice tests..."

“Shen Xiao,” Huo Zhixing said with a dark expression, “you can go back now.”

"Um?"

"I said you can go back now!"

"Wh...what's wrong?" Shen Xiao was completely confused.

This person's attitude changes way too fast!

Jiang Can covered her mouth and laughed. Shen Xiao's muttering just now really resembled Tang Sanzang, even his thought process was similar to Tang Sanzang's.

He was single-mindedly focused on his career, averse to women, and had a remarkably slow reaction time.

However, he was indeed an honest man. Even when Huo Zhixing gave him the cold shoulder, he didn't get angry and just smiled sheepishly as he prepared to leave.

"Oh, by the way," Shen Xiao added before leaving, "Jiang Can, Zhi Xing said you haven't been feeling well lately? Why don't you come to my clinic for a checkup?"

Just then, Aunt Cen finished tidying up the yard and came in. Hearing this, she looked at Jiang Can with a smile and said, "Why would you need a checkup? Isn't this how it is when you're pregnant?"

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, even Jiang Can herself was a little confused.

"Aunt Cen, what are you saying..." Jiang Can's face flushed red. "I, I didn't..."

"No?" Aunt Cen frowned. "That's not right. Although I've never given birth myself, I've seen other pregnant women! I remember my old neighbor who had three children, and she could eat and sleep a lot every time she was pregnant!"

Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it seemed like it had been a while since her period.

About two months?

“Young Madam,” Aunt Cen asked again, “do you have any other symptoms? For example… nausea?”

Before Jiang Can could answer, Huo Zhixing tensed up and tightened his grip on her shoulder.

"Ouch!" Jiang Can exclaimed softly, turning to look at him. "What are you doing?"
