Uncle Jiang was shocked by the figure, and was afraid that he would have to spend more money in the end. He looked at Jiang Chao deeply and said, "Chao'er, is it true that as long as you can pay this amount, your aunt will be able to return safely?"

"yes."

Jiang Chao gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. At this point, it was impossible for him to deny it.

Uncle Jiang was silent for a few seconds, then he slowly stood up with his cane, "I understand. I'll go back and think of a solution."

"Uncle, please go slowly. Be careful not to fall." Jiang Chao escorted the man out the door, then turned around and rushed to Zhang Tieying. "You damn woman, why did you say that just now?"

"Why? Tell me why?" Zhang Tieying was eating melon seeds. He was not afraid at all when he heard this. Instead, he sneered at him and said, "Jiang Chao, why are you pretending in front of me? You didn't expose me because you had the same idea as me, didn't you? I tell you, we are now on the same side. You should be happy that I can think of a solution for you!"

After saying that, she threw the melon seeds back into the plastic bag, turned around and went into the bedroom.

Jiang Chao looked at her back, feeling angry and furious, but at the same time he also breathed a sigh of relief.

What Zhang Tieying said was right. With the 400 yuan, things would be much easier for the two of them. Even if the truth was revealed, he could say that he paid someone to take care of her in prison. In short, there would be no evidence.

Beijing city.

Huo Family Manor.

Huo Yuli sat upright on the sofa, with the Huo family's landline phone on his left.

I had clearly given that little thing my number, but she never called me once. It seemed like she really didn't want to contact him.

"I leave."

Just as he was distracted, Mr. Huo and Huo Shu came over together. Mr. Huo said in a deep voice, "I heard that you took action in the countryside?"

Huo Yuli immediately looked at Huo Shu.

Huo Shu waved his hands quickly, "Don't look at me, I didn't complain. The old man has sharp ears and sharp eyes. There is nothing in our family that can be hidden from him."

Although it was just a joke, it was pretty much to the point. It would be strange if Mr. Huo, who was able to manage the Huo family's century-old business, didn't even have this little trick.

"Yes, grandpa." Huo Yuli admitted generously.

Mr. Huo took a sip of tea and continued after a while, "Tell me, why?"

"Don't tell me it was a spur of the moment thing. You're not like that."

The old man blocked Huo Yuli's excuses in advance. Fortunately, he had nothing to hide. He raised his hand to adjust his cufflinks and said, "Someone is bullying my friends. Give them a lesson."

The tea in Mr. Huo's hand froze in mid-air.

He knew his grandson well. He was smart, sensible, and very spiritual. A master had predicted that he would be very intelligent and would achieve great things in the future. But because he was too smart, Huo Yuli always gave people the impression that he was indifferent to everyone. It was rare for him to call someone his friend.

"How come I didn't know when you made friends in the countryside? Huo Shu, did you know?"

Huo Shu froze when his name was called. Both the old and the young had such strong auras. It seemed difficult for him to offend anyone of them.

Just as he was considering how to phrase it, Huo Yuli spoke up, "Grandpa, my friend is shy, I'll introduce you to each other if I have the chance. Class is about to start, I'll be leaving first."

After saying this, he stood up and the Huo family's servants immediately followed him.

"Look, he's quite protective of his friend." Mr. Huo put down his teacup, his eyes meaningful, "Huo Shu, is Yu Li's friend a man or a woman?"

"cough!"

Huo Shu, who understood what Mr. Huo meant, choked twice. He was a little amused and said, "Don't worry, this kid is sensible and knows what's going on. He won't make friends with bad people outside."

"So, it's a girl?" Old Master Huo looked thoughtful, hesitating whether to intervene. After all, the other party was a member of the opposite sex and it would be bad if something happened. However, this was the first time that Huo Yuli had personally acknowledged her as a friend, and the old man was afraid that rash intervention would make him sad.

"Well, you're just imagining things." Huo Shu smiled bitterly, shook his head and left. As for Jiang Ruyi's matter, Huo Yuli would handle it himself. However, he was very curious about how the old man would react when he knew that the friend Yuli liked was a little kid.

On the other side, Jiang Ruyi suddenly climbed up from the bed.

"I just know it!"

"Huh? What?" Liu Chunhua was looking at the account book. The weather was getting colder, and she was wondering whether she should prepare some hot dishes in advance.

Jiang Ruyi crawled to her side, half of her body leaning on the table, her big eyes flickering, [I know who dealt with Jiang Chao and Zhang Tieying! ]

"Who?" Liu Chunhua also looked at her immediately. They had calculated this matter repeatedly and determined that someone was behind it, but they didn't know who it was.

Jiang Ruyi excitedly read out a word!

“Huh!”

"You mean, Boss Huo?" Liu Chunhua thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. "Boss Huo is kind and easy to get along with, but I don't know why, I always feel that he is very distant to others and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would meddle in such trivial matters."

"It's not him, it's Huo, Yu, Li." Jiang Ruyi said this name which was a bit difficult to pronounce, but Liu Chunhua understood it at once. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, as if she was surprised and seemed to have reacted.

Jiang Ruyi said, "Although I don't know why he did this, but think about it, no one else can play tricks on Jiang Chao and his group so easily except him."

Especially in this era when legal boundaries are not yet clear, in remote places like the countryside, some small disputes can be resolved with money. But this time, the people from the police station didn't even want money and wanted to make trouble for Jiang Chao, which shows that the other party was targeting them.

Looking at the entire town, the only person Jiang Ruyi could think of and do was Huo Yuli.

"If it's really him, then he should be doing it for you."

Liu Chunhua recalled the situation when they met last time. Huo Yuli witnessed their dispute with Jiang Chao. He had always been kind to Ruyi, so it was not impossible for him to vent her anger.

"Ruyi, actually when you grow up, if you..."

"Stop."

Jiang Ruyi knew what she was going to say, and made an X with her hands in front of her chest, [We'll talk about the future later, I'm not here to fall in love. And I'm still so young, it's a bit absurd for you to talk about love with me. ]

Most importantly, she was a child, and Huo Yuli wasn't that old either. Even if he treated her a little differently, it couldn't be love, right? She was more inclined to think that Huo Yuli noticed her unusualness, so he paid too much attention to her.

"You're right." Liu Chunhua sighed. This matter was too complicated for her to figure out. At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and then Zhao Tiezhu's voice came, "Chunhua, Old Li is back."
