Chapter 243: Racking Brains
"She is gone, and my mother never revealed her identity. Perhaps she didn't want to talk about the past anymore."
Chen Zhu spoke in a calm voice, without any intention of recognizing his relatives.
Her memory of her mother was almost gone. After so many years, she saw the word "Yu'er" in the relics left by her parents, but it was useless to her whether she knew it or not.
Old Master Gongsun looked at Chen Zhuyi's rather cold expression, and felt a chill in his heart. He sighed, "Girl, since Yu'er has brought me so much joy, I will help you."
"We're collaborating. If you're not willing, I can consider finding someone else to work with. As for the past... I don't want to ask too much, but that's all."
"You don't have to use those sentiments as a guarantee. If you can destroy Mr. Mo Sanye, it should be quite beneficial to you."
Chen Zhuyi rejected his delusions that were influenced by affection and explained everything coldly.
Such a decisive attitude made Old Man Gongsun pause for a moment, and then he nodded gently, with a bit of trust in his dark eyes.
Feelings are feelings, but serious matters cannot be driven by feelings alone.
She can distinguish clearly, which is also beneficial to the future cooperation. She will not choose to return to the Mo family or become an enemy of the Gongsun family just because of a few provocations.
"Okay, pack up and we can set off at any time." Old Master Gongsun decided this matter.
Chen Zhuyi didn't let Gongsun Mei send her out. She also wanted to take a good look at the prosperity of the port city. There were people rushing to and fro everywhere, many cars, and some people even had mobile phones.
Domestic mobile phones are obtained from abroad through connections, and these people have natural advantages.
She observed secretly, sighing slightly in her heart, when suddenly, her body was hit violently. Before she could react, she was pulled into the alley next to her.
The familiar breath quickly calmed Chen Zhuyi's heart. His body reacted before his brain and he hugged Huo Jinzhi directly, his eyes red.
"I thought it would be difficult for us to meet." Chen Zhuyi spoke first.
She only knew that the situation in Hong Kong was not good, and she did not have high expectations of coming to see Huo Jinzhi.
"Why are you here?" Huo Jinzhi asked in a low voice, and then looked her over carefully. Only after he confirmed that she was not injured did he feel relieved.
"You're here, and the situation isn't good. And Zhou Fumin wanted to come here to talk business, so I came over to take a look."
Chen Zhuyi explained first, then looked around. The alley was not remote and there were many people coming and going around. It was actually not a good place to have a conversation.
However, among those people, there were several who looked at the people around them with sharp eyes, but their emotions were softer when facing them. They were probably the compatriots who came with Huo Jinzhi.
"To make a long story short, I know some of the Mohist secrets and have established connections with the Gongsun family. I will be heading inland in a few days. If you are still in contact with the Mohist family, you can give up now."
Chen Zhuyi said it bluntly.
I'm afraid the Mohists had a lot of calculating intentions. Even after they returned successfully, they continued to transfer their wealth abroad.
Although none of the four major families were clean, the three that were destroyed must have had disagreements with the Mohist School.
As for the specific situation, we can only wait for Chen Zhuyi to investigate it carefully.
Huo Jinzhi looked at her face, pursed his lips, and there was some concern in his dark eyes: "No matter what happens, protect yourself first. I will find a chance to meet you again."
A patrol convoy passed by. Huo Jinzhi knew the danger he was in and didn't dare to talk to Chen Zhuyi anymore. He turned around and left in a hurry.
Chen Zhu breathed heavily, straightened his clothes after a moment, and walked out.
She didn't see anyone she disliked, so for safety reasons, she went back immediately.
By the time they arrived at the hotel, Chen Zhuyi's body was completely exhausted. He didn't even respond to Zhou Siwei's words of concern. He leaned on the bed, gasping for breath.
"What happened?" Zhou Fumin also came over quickly at this time, but because of his special situation, he was embarrassed to come in directly, so he just asked a few questions outside.
After a while, Chen Zhuyi calmed down and took out the thing that Huo Jinzhi had stuffed into her bag during the chaos. It was a gun.
Seeing the gun, Zhou Siwei was shocked: "Could the Gongsun family be so kind?"
This kind of thing is not difficult to find, but they are new here and definitely don’t have any connections.
"I met Huo Jinzhi. Uncle Zhou, please come in too." Chen Zhuyi spoke softly and asked Zhou Fuming to come over. There was some confusion in her eyes, but she still handed over the gun.
"I'm going to be away for a while soon. You just stay here and don't take any action. The Gongsun family will protect your safety."
After hearing this, Zhou Siwei held Chen Zhuyi's arm tightly and refused to let go: "No matter where you go, I will go with you."
"I'm going back to the inland to find someone. It will be safer for you to stay here." Chen Zhuyi explained and patted his little head twice.
This time, they are going to expose some people's masks, but they are afraid it may not be safe.
Even if Mo Cuilin knew nothing, wouldn't others find a way to leak the information?
"Then... we just need to live here? Maybe we can do something to help you." Zhou Fumin wanted to play a role with a guilty look on his face.
Originally, he, as the elder, should have been the one protecting the younger ones.
But not only did he cause a lot of trouble for everyone, he also almost harmed Chen Zhuyi!
"To deal with ever-changing situations with constancy is the best method I can think of." Chen Zhu quickly comforted Zhou Fumin.
It's best if he does nothing!
The evil ones racking their brains are not as good as the stupid ones' sudden inspiration. Especially although Zhou Fumin planned to develop towards the coast, he seemed not to consider these things!
Zhou Fumin also noticed the slight disdain in Chen Zhu's tone. He scratched his head silently and sighed.
"Leave this gun behind me. I won't be able to use it when I return. You must protect yourselves. Don't shoot unless absolutely necessary."
Chen Zhuyi emphasized again and put the gun in his bedside table.
They chatted for a few more minutes and made some simple plans. As the night deepened, there was an unexpected knock on the door. Chen Zhuyi first glanced at Zhou Fumin, and seeing that he was also a little confused, he slowly walked over and asked, "Who is it?"
"Door-to-door service." Huo Jinzhi lowered his voice, but after being together for a long time, Chen Zhuyi recognized him instantly. She instantly guessed Huo Jinzhi's identity and opened the door carefully.
