Chapter 214: Pawn
An hour ago.
Chi Muzhen was giving Mrs. Huo a massage when she suddenly received a call from Xu Ye.
"Junior sister, I just arrived in Licheng. It's been raining here for a while now, and the road to Master's place has collapsed. It will take at least two days to get through. I guess it will be too late to get the herbs and return to the capital!"
Chi Muzhen frowned and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It seems that I can only take grandma to Licheng."
Moreover, according to the current time, it is too late to send the letter. The only way is to take Mrs. Huo to the Medicine Valley.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Xu Ye's somewhat low voice came: "Junior sister, are you sure you really want to do this?"
Xu Ye secretly didn't want Chi Muzhen to bring Old Madam Huo over, because in his heart, Chi Muzhen was his junior sister and much more important than Old Madam Huo, whose half body was buried in the ground.
Chi Muzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice."
"I advise you to reconsider. After all, you are still young, and I don't want you to sacrifice your life for others."
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and said slowly, "We don't know what the punishment is. I may not die, but if I don't take grandma to the Medicine Valley, she will definitely die."
Hearing this, Xu Ye knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only sigh.
"Okay, I can't persuade you. I'll wait for you in Licheng."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen was about to call Huo Yunting to clarify the matter, when she suddenly discovered that something was wrong with Mrs. Huo.
Her face changed, she put down her phone and immediately checked Mrs. Huo's physical condition.
Two minutes later, her face became extremely gloomy.
It turned out that in addition to putting poppy in the chicken soup, Huo Tianyi also gave Old Mrs. Huo another rare chronic poison, which was why her body deteriorated so quickly.
This poison is extremely concealed, and because it had not spread before, Chi Muzhen did not discover it.
However... this kind of poison is only produced in Country D, and only a few people can access it. The channels are basically controlled by the Mercenary Alliance and the Mafia. Why was Huo Tianyi able to get it?
Thinking of the years when Huo Tianyi suddenly disappeared, Chi Muzhen's eyes turned cold.
She immediately sent a message to Damai, asking him to check what happened during the years when Huo Tianyi was missing.
After giving Mrs. Huo acupuncture to stabilize her heart pulse, Chi Muzhen was ready to take Mrs. Huo away. Just as she stood up and was about to walk towards the ward door, the door was suddenly pushed open and a man in a black suit walked in carrying a lunch box.
"Miss Chi, I'm coming to bring you lunch."
The moment Chi Muzhen took the food box from him, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand and attacked her fiercely.
Her face changed and she quickly stepped back to avoid the opponent's attack.
The man sneered, raised his dagger and continued to approach, and the two men started fighting in the ward.
The noise inside was immediately heard by the people outside, and another man in a black suit also came in to attack Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen's expression was cold, his hands moved much faster, and his moves became increasingly fierce.
Ten minutes later, Chi Muzhen tied up the two unconscious men with bed sheets and threw them into the bathroom. She wanted to call Huo Yunting, but found that her phone had been broken during the fight.
It seems that Huo Tianyi's men are among Huo Yunting's men.
If Mrs. Huo is not transferred as soon as possible, there will definitely be many more assassinations like this in the future.
Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen almost immediately made a decision in her heart - to wait until Mrs. Huo was settled before telling Huo Yunting.
She found a wheelchair, put hats and masks on Mrs. Huo and herself, and left the hospital through the back door.
…
Soon, Huo Yunting's men sent over the surveillance video of Chi Muzhen leaving.
After watching the surveillance video, Huo Yunting's face became extremely ugly.
Why did Chi Muzhen suddenly take Mrs. Huo away and kill two of his men?
His expression was icy, and he spoke word by word, "Investigate, make sure to find out where she went!"
Ke Ning nodded, "Boss Huo, what about the two bodyguards killed by Miss Chi?"
"Block the news. Anyone who discusses this will be sent down to accompany those two people!"
"Okay, I understand."
On the other side, Huo Tianyi received the news that the people sent to kill Old Mrs. Huo had failed again, and he couldn't help but curse.
"A bunch of losers! They can't even handle a woman and an old hag!"
The subordinate lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Those two people have been dealt with. They will definitely not affect the young master's plan."
Huo Tianyi sneered, "That's better! By the way, have you found out where Xu Ye is?"
"We've checked. He's currently in Licheng. Our people should be able to arrive tonight."
"There better not be any mistakes this time!"
"Don't worry, young master. We are sending top-notch assassins. They will definitely kill Xu Ye!"
"Continue to investigate where Chi Muzhen took that old woman. Once we find them, kill them and bring back their bodies!"
After saying that, Huo Tianyi stood up and left.
In the evening, the plane carrying Chi Muzhen and Mrs. Huo arrived at Licheng Airport.
Xu Ye met them at the airport gate. As soon as she met Xu Ye, Chi Muzhen noticed something was wrong.
She approached Xu Ye and whispered, "Brother, someone is following you!"
Xu Ye frowned, "What should we do now?"
"Get in the car first and wait for the other party to show their hand."
The two of them took Mrs. Huo to the hotel and settled her down. Chi Muzhen pulled the curtains, leaving only a crack to observe the outside.
A few minutes later, she turned around and looked at Xu Ye.
"It's not safe here. I just saw a sniper in the building across the street. He's probably looking for an opportunity to kill someone."
Xu Ye's face turned pale. He had always been in contact with doctors and patients, and had never encountered such a situation.
Forcing himself to calm down, he frowned and said, "I haven't offended anyone, so why would someone want to kill me?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, a hint of apology flashed in her eyes, "I guess these people are coming for me and Grandma Huo, you are just affected."
"Who on earth wants to harm Mrs. Huo?"
"Grandma Huo's eldest grandson—Huo Tianyi."
Xu Ye was silent for a while, then looked at Chi Muzhen and said slowly, "I know Huo Tianyi. When his parents were still alive, I would occasionally run into him at parties, and we were just acquaintances."
"Did you know him before?"
Xu Ye shook his head. "He's a few years older than me, so we're not in the same circle. But after his parents died, I heard a rumor."
Chi Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "What rumor?"
"I don't know who spread the rumor that Huo Yunting's parents were responsible for the car accident. Their goal was to snatch Huo's company from Huo Zheng."
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, "It seems that Huo Tianyi thinks so too."
Xu Ye sighed. "So many years have passed. Only the parties involved know the truth of the matter. However, not long after the rumor came out, Mrs. Huo held a press conference and said that the car accident of Huo Zheng and his wife was just an accident. Not long after that, Huo Tianyi suddenly disappeared."
Chi Muzhen glanced at Mrs. Huo who was still in a coma. It seemed that only when Mrs. Huo woke up could she know the truth of what happened that year.
But... would Huo Jinsong really kill his elder brother and sister-in-law for the Huo family?
At night, Chi Muzhen and Xu Ye stayed by Mrs. Huo's side.
Seeing Chi Muzhen's serious expression, Xu Ye couldn't help but joked, "Junior sister, I risked my life to help you this time. After this is over, shouldn't you thank me properly? I don't ask for much. Just give me one of the blood lotuses you planted before."
Chi Muzhen was about to say that she had given the last blood lotus to Mrs. Huo before coming to Licheng, but her expression suddenly changed and she said in a deep voice, "Take Mrs. Huo and hide in the bathroom first. Lock the door and don't come out no matter what noise you hear!"
