Chapter 338 Don't Try to Throw Money at Me

Huo Nanxiao did not go to the hospital to see Xia Wanwan. He was constantly worried about the safety of Xia Ningxi and the child, and his mind was in turmoil.

Back at Yunting Group, Huo Nanxiao had several meetings to attend, but his mind wasn't on them at all.

Several high-ranking officials were discussing countermeasures against the Li family, and they also sought Huo Nanxiao's advice.

"President, what do you think of this matter?" the vice president asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You guys figure it out yourselves."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent.

The high-ranking officials exchanged glances, subconsciously noticing Huo Nanxiao's distracted state, and did not delve any further into the discussion. After the meeting ended, Huo Nanxiao left in a hurry.

When Huo Nanxiao returned to the Huo family home, Huo Xiuyuan and Qu Huilan were both there. When they saw Huo Nanxiao return, their expressions were not very pleasant.

Huo Nanxiao walked in as if nothing had happened and went straight upstairs.

"Stop." Huo Xiuyuan called out to him.

Huo Nanxiao stopped and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Where are Ning Xi and the child?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "We're looking for it."

"Looking for? What do you mean?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I will find the person."

He did not tell Huo Xiuyuan that Xia Ningxi had disappeared.

Huo Xiuyuan thought that Xia Ningxi had been hurt too deeply by Huo Nanxiao and had gone into hiding after taking the child abroad, which was why Huo Nanxiao said he was looking for someone.

Hearing that Huo Nanxiao promised to find Xia Ningxi, Huo Xiuyuan's anger subsided somewhat, and he began to inquire about the Li family's plan to build a base station in the capital city.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Is there any room for negotiation regarding the Li family's matter? The capital city is so big, the base station can be built in a more remote place, why insist on choosing Mindong?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "It can't be changed. The higher-ups have already decided that the location is in eastern Fujian. If the address is changed, the capital city will probably lose this opportunity to build a base station."

Huo Xiuyuan frowned deeply: "If that's the case, the Huo family will suffer a great loss."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I have already pushed forward with the Hedong project in an effort to recover some of the losses."

Huo Xiuyuan was very satisfied with Huo Nanxiao's handling of the matter and did not say anything more about it.

After changing his clothes upstairs, Huo Nanxiao took the contract with the Ji family and went out to the "Royal Villa".

The general manager immediately greeted Huo Nanxiao when his car stopped, saying, "Hello, Young Master Huo."

"Is Ji Feibai here?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

The general manager said, "Young Master Ji is in the 'Gan' VIP room. I'll take you there now."

"No need."

Huo Nanxiao tossed him the car keys and walked into the Royal Villa.

Pushing open the door to the private room, he saw Ji Feibai drinking with several beautiful female companions, and he went inside.

Ji Feibai, who was very happy just a moment ago, saw Huo Nanxiao enter, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

He was embarrassed: "Nan Xiao, what brings you here?"

Huo Nanxiao walked in and sat down opposite Ji Feibai: "Have you found out?"

Ji Feibai coughed and said, "Well, you know the Li family's background. They control the satellite system, so there's no way for them to investigate or track us."

Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously: "So you didn't find anything?"

Ji Feibai felt somewhat embarrassed; he thought it was rather shameful.

Huo Nanxiao poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and his gaze fell on Song Xiaoqing, who was also sitting on the sofa.

Song Xiaoqing blushed. "I can't find it either."

Huo Nanxiao didn't speak, but the aura emanating from him was frighteningly cold at that moment.

Ji Feibai noticed Huo Nanxiao's displeasure and immediately said, "Give me some more time. With my abilities, I'm sure I can find out..."

"If you really had this ability, you wouldn't have made no progress for so long. It seems your so-called 'know-it-all' skills are nothing special." Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Ji Feibai's cheeks flushed. If it were anyone else, he could investigate whenever he wanted, but the person he was investigating was Xia Ningxi. Moreover, Xia Ningxi was a living person who had vanished into thin air in public without a trace. This was no ordinary person's method.

The Li family truly possesses extraordinary abilities in this regard; otherwise, the capital city would not have spent a fortune to bring them into the capital.

Ji Feibai was also very troubled.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze fell on Jin Mingxi.

Jin Mingxi said, "I don't have the ability to find out about the Li family, but Helian Jue should be able to."

Although they were all born into prestigious families, making money and wielding power were their strengths. However, none of them possessed the high technology that the Li family did. Moreover, the system developed by the Li family was already in use in China, making it incredibly easy for them to erase a person's trace.

No matter how capable they are, as long as Li Yancheng doesn't want them to find Xia Ningxi, they will never find her.

That's the truth!

At that moment, all three of them admitted defeat.

Only Helian Jue, sitting in the corner, remained silent.

Ji Feibai suddenly said, "The Helian family has extensive connections and many informants in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. If you investigate Helian Jue, you should be able to find out."

Helian Jue snorted coldly: "Why would I look for that woman?"

Ji Feibai said, "We're all brothers, you can't just watch Li Yancheng make a fool of us, can you?"

Helian Jue said, "The last time An Yao escaped, it was this woman's doing. I'm already being very lenient by not holding her accountable."

"Don't you know why An Yao ran away?" Ji Feibai retorted.

Helian Jue angrily asked, "What do you want to say!"

Ji Feibai said sourly, "If you can't investigate, you can't investigate. Why drag An Yao into it?"

Helian Jue sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you, all you have is money and no other ability?"

Huo Nanxiao: "Then go and investigate."

Helian Jue snorted coldly: "I won't investigate."

Huo Nanxiao: "Name your price."

Helian Jue said, "Don't try to throw money at me."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Three months ago, I bought a magnificent gemstone necklace at a Royal Auction in the UK. I heard that you tried to buy it from inside the auction house for 1 billion yuan, but you failed."

Helian Jue said, "I need three days."

"Okay, once I find out about Xia Ningxi, I'll have someone deliver it to your home."

Huo Nanxiao finished his glass of red wine and got up to leave.

Ji Feibai quickly stopped him: "Nan Xiao, why don't you sit down and have a few more drinks?"

"Busy." Huo Nanxiao left without looking back.

Song Xiaoqing said, "This guy is probably going to the hospital to see Xia Wanwan."

Ji Feibai said, "Why do I feel like he went to find Xia Ningxi?"

Song Xiaoqing said, "I don't understand. Logically speaking, Xia Wanwan has already woken up, so he should just stay with her. Why should he care about Xia Ningxi's life or death? I guess Xia Wanwan still doesn't know that Nan Xiao is already married and has a child."
