Chapter 278 The True Identity of Old Lady Ji
A mountainous area near Huizhou City.
Huo Tingzhou had been detained for a day. He did not expect that the driver was skilled in martial arts. When Huo Tingzhou was about to escape, he beat him up and tied him up.
Now that he was trapped in this valley, he looked around and saw the towering mountains.
In order to prevent him from escaping, the man only gave him a little food every day.
Without physical strength, there is naturally no possibility of escape.
Huo Tingzhou's stomach was rumbling. He originally thought that he would have to be locked up like this forever.
But I didn't expect that man to walk in and said, "Get up, I'll take you to find your dad!"
Huo Tingzhou was stunned. Looking for his father?
What qualifications does he have to find him?
Huo Tingzhou stiffened his neck.
"Then you're making a wrong decision. I have already severed ties with him in the newspaper."
"It's no use looking for him!"
The man stared at him as if he were an idiot and kicked him.
"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll dig your eyes out."
"Idiot, do you really think you and Huo Jianyuan have severed ties? That's a lie!"
Fake?
Huo Tingzhou's face turned pale.
How could it be fake?
What happened yesterday once again came to his mind.
Therefore, the Ji family has been deceiving themselves from the very beginning!
They have been plotting against themselves from the very beginning!
Huo Tingzhou's heart was filled with coldness.
If this is true, then wouldn't everything he does now implicate the Huo family?
At this moment, Huo Tingzhou wished he could kill himself.
The man looked at Huo Tingzhou and sneered, "It's useless even if you die. If you sign, you will be responsible for all those things!"
Huo Tingzhou's face turned pale.
"Who are you anyway?"
The man ignored Huo Tingzhou and turned to leave the room.
Huo Tingzhou stared at the man's back. No, he couldn't implicate the Huo family.
He had made a mistake once, he couldn't keep making the same mistake again.

As for Shen Qingran, she was talking on the phone with Huo Jianyuan.
"Don't be stressed, kid. No one would think it would be like this."
Shen Qingran frowned. Huo Tingzhou's transportation route did not go as normal as they had found out, but disappeared halfway.
And the entire Ji family, including Old Lady Ji and her two sons, also disappeared.
That can only mean one thing, that is, the other party is involved in the whole thing.
Huo Jianyuan has been found, and it turns out that someone has been corrupted.
But he just took the money and left the message at an agreed location. So many people passed by that there was no way to find the specific person.
The other party was very cautious and his tactics were obviously very skilled.
Huo Jianyuan analyzed that it should be the method used by spies.
Does that mean there are spies among the Ji family?
I originally thought I had uncovered the Ji family's smuggling business, but I didn't expect there was such a big secret hidden underneath.
Shen Qingran sighed secretly, this era is really dangerous.
The country is in a precarious situation at all times.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, what about Huo Tingzhou? Is there any news?"
The other party has not taken any action yet, so he must be trying to use Huo Tingzhou for something.
Huo Jianyuan responded, "I have arranged for someone to investigate. I found that a group of people from other places came to the Ji family's factory recently. These people should have smuggled in from abroad. If Tingzhou is controlled by the other party, it will not be so easy for us to find people here."
"According to the current situation along the way, there are quite a few mountains, so it's not easy to find someone."
Shen Qingran: "Dad, what about the Ji family?"
Huo Jianyuan sighed, "The people of the Ji family know very little. They more or less guessed that it might be smuggling, but they know nothing else."
The two talked for a while before Shen Qingran hung up the phone.
She thought about the whole thing. If the Ji family really had a spy, it would be unlikely to be the Ji family's son. It could only be one person.
The old lady from the Ji family?
Shen Qingran never sees any woman clearly.
After all, when a woman becomes ruthless, men have no chance of doing anything.
If that's the case, she should focus on investigating Old Lady Ji's past, perhaps there will be clues.
Shen Qingran packed her things without thinking too much and prepared to go look for Qin Xue, who was in the circle of noble ladies in Peking.
Qin Xue has the absolute ability to investigate many things.
When Shen Qingran asked Qin Xue for help, she agreed without hesitation.
You know, recently, she felt much better after taking the medicine prescribed by Shen Qingran for only two days.
“Doctor Shen, give me half a day.”
The Qin family has its own information network.
Half a day passed quickly.
Shen Qingran didn't have to wait too long before Qin Xue walked in with a bag of information.
“Doctor Shen, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the situation of the old lady from the Ji family.”
Shen Qingran opened the file and looked at the information carefully.
Among them are all the information from Old Lady Ji.
Qin Xue: "This old lady Ji is quite strange. She appeared in Peking 38 years ago and met the old man from the Ji family. Later, the two got married and had four children."
"Well, it seems like everything is normal. However, our investigators said that the old man of the Ji family actually loves the old lady very much and discusses everything at home with her."
Shen Qingran tilted her head and looked up. This was a little different from what Ji Huiying had said before. In her words, old man Ji should be a dictatorial and domineering person.
At the beginning, Ji Huifan seemed to be tortured.
She never mentioned Old Lady Ji from beginning to end.
Shen Qingran could only continue reading.
Qin Xue smiled and said, "However, you wouldn't know until you investigate. After investigating, I found that the Ji family's business had problems several times, but they always met someone to help them and they were able to come back to life again and again."
"When something happened to the Huo family before, the Ji family seemed to have known about it in advance."
So this kind of thing is definitely not normal.
Qin Xue: "But the old lady of the Ji family is really powerful. After the old man Ji passed away, everyone thought that the Ji family would be ruined, but at that time, the Ji family managed to hold on."
Shen Qingran seemed normal from beginning to end, but he revealed different information everywhere.
I have already made a judgment in my heart that the Ji family was playing the pig and eating the tiger.
Even if the Huo family wanted to investigate, at most they would let the Ji family in, but the one who would be truly responsible would still be the Ji family's son. Why did old lady Ji suddenly run away?
Unless something unexpected happens along the way.
This incident not only implicates the Ji family, but may also implicate their entire spy organization.
Shen Qingran's mind was like a computer at this moment, constantly calculating huge data relationships.
Old Lady Ji married into the Ji family and helped them transform from a low-ranking merchant family into a popular family. Using the Huo family as a cover, they later opened up various business routes to engage in smuggling.
It seems to be an act carried out for commercial interests.
In fact, it is a kind of espionage behavior. Spies are definitely not just doing it to make money, their intentions must be unusual.
Either to disrupt the peace or to steal something.
What exactly is the Ji family’s spy mission?
