Chapter 435 Despicable Means
As soon as he realized that he might be exposed, the man immediately shrank his body and tried to crawl away.
Chen Zhuyi stood aside, and Huo Jinzhi flew over after making sure that there was no one else in the room and grabbed him. Before the man was about to take action, Huo Jinzhi broke his hand bones.
“Someone sneaked in!”
The sharp sound coming from outside caused many lights here to light up, and there were countless footsteps rushing in hurriedly. Huo Jinzhi tied up the man next to him with a bed sheet, then protected Chen Zhuyi and walked out.
"What's going on?" Huo Jinzhi accused coldly, his dark eyes as cold as ice.
Almost all the people here are trustworthy, yet some people are still able to sneak in. If there is no problem with the people around them, then there must be a problem with the path opened up by Huo Qiyun!
No matter which one it is, their current situation is definitely not good!
"I've already sent people to investigate. There are quite a few people who have infiltrated. Although they have received training, they are not that elite. Otherwise..."
Before Huo Qiyun finished speaking, his eyes had already become gloomy.
He has traveled all over the country for so many years and has done a lot of things, but now he is almost killed here. It's such a shame!
"There are only so many people, there's no need to unravel the mystery. Those who took action must know something, right?"
Huo Jinzhi lowered his eyes to look at the man struggling and squirming at his feet. He stepped on him and applied a little force: "Who asked you to come here?"
The man was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he glared at Huo Jinzhi with a distorted expression.
"Kill me if you dare. I will never betray you!"
He spoke passionately of his loyalty.
But Lin Ting next to her screamed and called out one of the names. In an instant, all eyes were fixed on her.
They came here with great difficulty to rescue people, are they going to bring a traitor home?
Chen Zhuyi reacted immediately, feeling unhappy in his heart, but his face did not show it: "Why... did you come to attack us?"
"You've got the wrong person." The person whose name was called wished he could find a hole to crawl into, and the others who were at risk of being exposed also subconsciously curled up.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, their performance was too obvious.
Chen Zhuyi reached out and pulled one of them, smiling bleakly: "Isn't the help we gave you enough?"
"Are you the same group of people from before?" Huo Jinzhi had quickly understood their identities. Seeing the injured Shen Zhuyi, he held her hand and comforted her: "There's no need to worry about these people."
We are just strangers who met by chance, why should we feel sad for them?
"You said your relatives and friends had no way out. We've been trying to find a solution all this time, and we even gave you a prescription. I never asked for anything in return, not even money."
Chen Zhu took a deep breath, but his voice was trembling.
This matter is not so easy to get through!
"But after you got the money, you wanted to kill us. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
Even though Chen Zhuyi was not the kind of person who would repay a favor, he still felt extremely heartbroken.
She doesn't ask for anything in return, but the other party can't repay her with evil, right?
"Mr. Huo, there is an old man outside the door. He said he wants to come over and apologize to us." The person following Huo Qiyun ran in.
The old man probably wanted to force his way in, but now he was being pushed in in a very awkward position.
Without even saying a word, he knelt down in front of Chen Zhuyi. He thought she would give in like before, but she did not dodge and accepted this great gift.
"My conscience is for humans, not animals. Why do you want to kill me?"
Finally, seeing the person in charge come in, Chen Zhu took a deep breath, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he asked sharply.
Huo Jinzhi stayed by her side the whole time, with a hint of murderous intent in his heart. He stared at them straight away, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, ready to strike at any moment.
"We... don't want our secret to be known to more people. Miss Shen, you generously saved us, and we are all very grateful. However, these things cannot be made known to more people."
There was still some sob in the old man's voice, and tears were now flowing.
But at this moment, no one would feel sympathy for such an old man.
"These things were originally my wealth. Now that I've shared some with you, you want to keep them all for yourself? No wonder you're doomed."
Chen Zhu sneered, his body shaking with anger.
"When you encounter this situation, you can proceed with the arrangements. I don't want to communicate with these people anymore."
Huo Jinzhi held her in his arms, and having someone to rely on, she quietly handed the matter over to Huo Qiyun.
Just for such a small matter, he committed the crime wantonly. How cruel!
Even these people were the reason why they couldn't leave here. When Chen Zhuyi thought about how so much trouble had been caused by his momentary act of kindness, he felt a little guilty.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted. Seeing how pitiful they were, I thought they needed our help..." Lin Ting also hung her head at this moment.
She has lived for decades, but she doesn't even have the basic sense of vigilance against others, and she even caused such a disaster.
Fortunately, everyone was fine, otherwise, even if she died, she would not be able to calm the guilt in her heart.
Chen Zhuyi didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and let Huo Jinzhi take her back to the room.
Huo Qiyun also quickly realized the situation, made arrangements one by one, and talked again with those who originally didn't want them to leave, and gave them valuable gifts. This was considered an explanation.
"It won't be long before we can go home. Don't worry about these setbacks. Some people... aren't worth saving."
Professor Huo watched as everyone was pushed out and could only accept his fate and comfort his wife.
"They know we care about our country, so they resort to such despicable tactics. We don't even speak with an accent, so how could they possibly admit they were all wrong?"
Lin Ting could only reluctantly accept these statements, but she didn't speak much on the way home, and she didn't even go out often, just staying in her room.
It was only when Chen Zhuyi sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to go to her house and comfort her that she was able to reluctantly relieve the burden in her heart.
"Auntie Lin, look, what is this?" Finally, Chen Zhu waved his hand, and like a magic trick, he took out the precious watch and placed it in front of Lin Ting.
"Why did you bring it back?" Lin Ting widened her eyes and her voice suddenly rose several degrees.
