Chapter 411: Forced to Revolt
However, he was a little hesitant about whether to tell Huo Yunting about this.
Seeing his expression change, Huo Yunting said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, the Xiao family also has a secret key, right?"
Xiao Tuo was silent for a few seconds before looking at Huo Yunting and said, "Well, the Xiao family does have a secret key, but the Huo family is in Rongcheng, so how can they also have a secret key?"
Huo Yunting shook his head. "I don't know either. It was only after Huo Tianyi got the secret key that I learned that the Huo family had the secret key. The secret key has always been in the care of my grandmother, and she never mentioned it to me. Later, when I came to the capital... I learned that someone had asked the Huo family to keep the secret key, so I gave the key back to that person."
As for who that person was, Huo Yunting had no intention of telling Xiao Tuo.
Xiao Tuo also noticed that he was hiding something, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"If Huo Tianyi really came for the secret key, perhaps someone can know the clues of the power behind him."
"who?"
"Mr. Fei."
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with surprise, "Mr. Xiao, are you talking about the Chinese painting master Mr. Fei?"
"Well, but Mr. Fei has been retired for many years, so it's difficult to see him."
The Fei family is also one of the four major families in Beijing, but twenty years ago, the Fei family suddenly began to act low-key. Although the Fei family still has a certain influence in the business world, it is still a long way behind the other three families.
However, even though the Fei family now has a tendency to retreat, other families in the capital still dare not look down on the Fei family easily.
"Mr. Xiao, do you know where Mr. Fei lives now?"
"I don't know, but if we send someone to check, we should be able to find it."
Huo Yunting nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xiao, with this matter. After you find Mr. Fei's address, please send it to me and I'll go to see him in person."
"No need. The Huo family has only been in the capital for a few years. Even if you have Mr. Fei's address, he won't see you. I will find a way to meet with Mr. Fei. I will inform you as soon as I have any news."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Xiao's good news."
After the two separated, Xiao Tuo went straight back to the Xiao family.
Xun Zi was pruning flower branches. When she saw Xiao Tuo coming back, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Why are you back at this time?"
"I have something important to tell you. Come to my study."
Ten minutes later, in the study.
Xun Zi's expression turned extremely grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Is what happened twenty-six years ago going to happen again?"
"I'll do my best to stop it. Have you hidden the key?"
Xun Zi nodded and said, "Well, I'm hiding in a place no one would expect."
"Okay, if one day my son, daughter, and I are captured and threatened, you must not reveal the location of the secret key. If all the keys are obtained by that person, it will be a disaster for everyone."
Xun Zi's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this, and her voice choked up a little. "If possible, I would rather we never got the secret key, so that we wouldn't have to bear this burden."
Xiao Tuo was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Someone has to bear these responsibilities. It's either us or our sons and daughters."
Xun Zi lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.
"Twenty-six years ago, because of the secret key incident, He'er almost didn't have the chance to come into this world. I never thought I would have to go through everything I went through back then again."
Xiao Tuo held her in his arms and whispered, "It's not the worst yet. Don't be so pessimistic. I will try my best to protect this family."
"Um."
After comforting Xun Zi for a while, Xiao Tuo returned to the company.
After calling the secretary into the office, Xiao Tuo whispered, "Go check where Mr. Fei lives now. Remember, this matter must be kept low-key. I don't want others to know about it."
Seeing his serious expression, the secretary nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After the secretary left, Xiao Tuo's face became extremely cold.
He will never let what happened that year happen again, never!
An hour before getting off work in the evening, Xiao Muzhen suddenly received a call from Xie Fu, asking her to go shopping together in the evening.
Both of them are busy, so they usually make plans to go shopping in the evening.
However, Xiao Muzhen didn't want to go today, and said hesitantly: "Afu... can we go another day? I have something to do today..."
Xie Fu was a little surprised. "What's going on? Is it related to Huo Yunting?"
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and murmured "hmm".
"Is it really related to him? Could it be because of the recent rumors about many partners terminating their contracts with the Huo family?"
Xiao Muzhen was a little surprised. "Even you know about this? It seems that this matter is indeed known to everyone."
As he spoke, Xiao Muzhen suddenly became even more worried about Huo Yunting.
Xie Fu couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Xiao Muzhen, what do you mean? What do you mean even I know about it?"
"I'm just a little surprised. After all, you're a very busy person on weekdays, running back and forth between the company and the crew every day. How can you have time to listen to these gossips?"
Xie Fu snorted, "Even though I'm busy with business matters, I'm still very concerned. You don't have to worry about this matter. Huo's is a big company after all, so there will be no problems. Besides, Huo Yunting's birthday seems to be coming soon. Why don't you buy him a gift?"
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, "How do you know his birthday?"
"I don't want to know either, but there's an actor in the new drama I'm investing in who met Huo Yunting at a business gathering. He fell in love with Huo Yunting at first sight and has been collecting a lot of information about him. He's been agonizing over whether to give Huo Yunting a birthday present and get closer to him."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
I didn’t expect Huo Yunting to be so charming, and there are even female stars who like him.
"Do you think Huo Yunting is more charming?"
Xiao Muzhen was somewhat helpless, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"
"Why else would I be your best friend?"
After a pause, Xie Fu continued, "But if you really have feelings for Huo Yunting, you should seriously consider giving him another try. I've attended several banquets recently, and many wealthy businessmen in Beijing are planning to introduce their daughters to Huo Yunting. He's very popular in the marriage market."
Xiao Muzhen felt uncomfortable when she thought that Huo Yunting might be with another woman in the future.
They haven't even divorced yet, but someone is already trying to introduce him to someone.
No, not many people know about their marriage...
"Are you going to come out tonight or not? If not, I'll go date someone else!"
"Go, go, go! Come pick me up downstairs of my company tonight."
However, buying a birthday present for Huo Yunting was just a coincidence; her main purpose was to accompany Xie Fu.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muzhen felt much more comfortable.
"OK, I will be there on time."
At five o'clock in the evening, Xiao Muzhen got off work on time. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Xie Fu's fiery red Lamborghini parked on the side of the road, attracting many people's attention.
She walked to the car, opened the door and got in.
As soon as she fastened her seat belt, Xie Fu stepped on the accelerator and merged into the traffic.
"Zhenzhen, my position in your heart is becoming less and less important than Huo Yunting's. If I hadn't told you that his birthday was coming up, would you have decided not to come out with me tonight?"
