Huo Zhixing remained silent, lost in thought.
Connecting all these points together reveals various points of doubt.
Back in Jiangzhou, Gu Mang wanted to harm Jiang Can, but before he could do so, Huo Zhixing arrived just in time.
Gu Mang seized the opportunity to escape, and the person who came to his rescue was Yin Shaoqing...
Huo Zhixing clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Gu Mang and Yin Shaoqing are in cahoots with Huo Zhiyan!
“I’ve been thinking about this too.” Huo Zhixing looked at Jiang Can. “If it’s not a code, it’s really strange to keep sending this kind of message.”
“Zhixin is very scared now and told me not to tell you.”
"But you still told me." Huo Zhixing chuckled.
Jiang Can pursed her lips and said softly, "Didn't we already agree that we shouldn't hide anything from each other?"
"Hmm..." Huo Zhixing pinched her little nose, "But isn't it a bit too late for you to tell me?"
"I'm sorry." Jiang Can was indeed a little guilty. "When I first received this message, I thought it was sent to the wrong person, so I didn't pay attention to it. The second time... I just happened to be busy and forgot about it."
"Honey, I should have told you sooner so you could have been more vigilant. It was my oversight."
Huo Zhixing patted her head, unable to bear blaming her.
He held her in his arms, and her fragrance kept wafting into his nose and into his heart.
The man licked his lips, about to embrace her and take her back to the room, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
His immediate reaction was Fang Han!
He was furious and went to open the door, but the door was pulled open with a bang, and there stood Cen Bo standing outside with an anxious look on his face.
"Young Master!" Uncle Cen opened his eyes wide and looked at him. "You...you've been home the whole time, haven't you?"
Huo Zhixing frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Can also came out upon hearing the noise. "Uncle Cen, please come in and sit down! Zhixing has been with me all evening, is there anything wrong with that?"
"I knew it! It couldn't be our young master!" Uncle Cen's brows relaxed slightly. "Young master, you haven't been to any nightclubs lately, have you?"
"Uncle Cen, are you getting senile?" Huo Zhixing said, both amused and exasperated. "My brother goes to those kinds of places so often, how many times have you settled his accounts!"
“Yes, I believe it wasn’t you!” Uncle Cen sighed, his doubt returning to his face. “But the owner of Night Palace just found me and said that you were drinking there an hour ago, and you left without paying, and even called a few waiters…”
Cen Bo hesitated, glancing at Jiang Can.
"What did they call out?" Jiang Can quickly realized what they were saying and couldn't help but chuckle.
Uncle Cen looked embarrassed. "Third Young Madam, please don't misunderstand our young master! This is impossible!"
"Of course not." Jiang Can said gently, her words clear. "Uncle Cen, don't worry. Go back first, but don't make a fuss about this, especially don't let Grandpa know."
“Yes, I understand what to do.” Uncle Cen nodded. “But this is too strange, isn’t it? How can there be someone like the young master…”
"Don't overthink it." Now that things have come to this, both Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing understand the situation.
"Young Madam, we probably can't keep this from the old master for much longer..."
"Keep it a secret for now, one day at a time," Jiang Can chuckled. "I'll explain it to Grandpa myself later; I might even need his help then!"
Although Cen Bo didn't know exactly what was going on, he had a better understanding of the situation since Jiang Can had said so.
After seeing Cen Bo off, Huo Zhixing held Jiang Can's small hand.
The two stood facing each other.
A gentle smile appeared on the man's face. "Wife, you must have a good idea, right?"
Jiang Can deliberately pouted, adjusting his shirt with her hand as she spoke.
"What good can I do? My husband is openly having fun in nightclubs, how can I, as a virtuous wife, stop him?"
"you……"
Jiang Can smiled broadly, her face slightly flushed, and her cherry lips made one want to kiss her sweetly.
Huo Zhixing suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, their bodies pressed tightly together.
He didn't want to care about anything else right now; all he wanted was to have a hysterical outburst with her...
Jiang Can felt his burning body temperature and heartbeat, and pushed him hard.
"Stop fooling around!"
"Wife..."
"We haven't finished discussing the important matters yet, so don't even think about doing any of this nonsense!"
A mess... a complete jumble?
Huo Zhixing was stunned for a moment. Seeing the little woman's serious and earnest expression, he could only swallow hard.
"Okay, then continue."
"It's quite obvious that the person Cen Bo mentioned in the Night Palace must be Gu Mang!"
"Um."
Huo Zhixing nodded, "So Gu Mang has been in Yangcheng for some time now, he must have gone to Huo Zhiyan for refuge."
Jiang Can rested her chin on her small hand, her brows slightly furrowed. "I always feel that this matter is inextricably linked to Yin Shaoqing, but I can't figure out exactly how."
Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder and smiled gently.
Whether it's Yin Shaoqing or Gu Mang, he will not allow anyone to take advantage of her again and hurt her.
“Honey,” Jiang Can looked up at him, “what do you think they’re planning to do by going to all this trouble to bring Gu Mang here?”
"Of course, it's to replace me," Huo Zhixing said with certainty.
“That’s right!” Jiang Can smiled. “This is Huo Zhiyan’s wishful thinking, a switcheroo!”
"Then..." Huo Zhixing raised an eyebrow, "Has my clever wife come up with any countermeasures?"
“I’ve been looking at the villa’s income and expenditure this month,” Jiang Can said softly. “Huo Zhiyan is short of money.”
Huo Zhixing ruffled her hair, saying that this was all thanks to her.
