Chapter 504: Sharing Honor and Shame
On the other side, after Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting left, Uncle Xiang walked out from another box.
"Master, why did you help Xiao Muzhen recover his memory? This will not help our plan, but may even destroy it."
Tang Ruze smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Uncle Xiang, in addition to helping her recover her memory, I also hypnotized her. You'll know when it comes in handy in the future."
Hearing this, Uncle Xiang didn't ask any more questions and whispered, "Huo Tianyi has been staying in the villa recently and hasn't made any moves."
"I used that method to drive him out of Jinyue last time, so he must be unhappy with me now. Keep a close eye on him during this period to prevent him from doing anything bad."
"OK."
…
That night, in Huo Tianyi's villa.
He was sitting in the study, reading some information, trying to figure out a way to get back to Jinyue.
Suddenly, the lights in the study went out.
He frowned and was about to pick up his phone to turn on the light when a cold dagger fell on his neck.
He was shocked. His skills were definitely among the best in the capital, but someone could actually get close to him quietly!
"Who are you? What's your purpose here?!"
"Oh!"
A cold laugh rang in his ears. Huo Tianyi froze suddenly, then gritted his teeth and said, "You are Xiao Muzhen... No, you are Iris?!"
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You have a good memory. I thought you had forgotten the word iris."
If Huo Tianyi had not used medicine to control her, she would not have almost been burned to death in the fire. She would never forget the despair of being surrounded by raging flames.
"Have you recovered your memory?"
"If I don't restore my memory, how can I remember what you did to me?"
Huo Tianyi panicked when he heard this and said quickly: "I didn't want to kidnap you either, I was forced to do it!"
"oh?"
Xiao Muzhen's dagger moved a little closer to his neck. She said coldly, "Who ordered you to do that? Who are you working for now?!"
A calculating look flashed in Huo Tianyi's eyes. Now was the best opportunity to tell Xiao Muzhen everything and let her fight the poisonous scorpion.
"It's a poisonous scorpion!"
"Poisonous scorpion?!"
Xiao Muzhen paused, then sneered, "I killed him three years ago. Is it possible that he will be resurrected?!"
"Are you sure you really killed a poisonous scorpion?"
Xiao Muzhen fell silent, thinking of the previous mission, when Scorpion disguised himself as a minor character, and that was why he escaped.
However, Huo Tianyi also contributed to this.
"Huo Tianyi, if you hadn't mentioned Poison Scorpion, I wouldn't have remembered that you used that mission to plot against me, causing me to be hunted down by Poison Scorpion's men. Shouldn't we settle this matter properly?!"
"Let's talk it over, Iris. After all, we've been through life and death together countless times. If you're willing to let me go, I'll tell you everything."
"You tell me first, and then I'll consider whether to let you go."
Huo Tianyi frowned, "Aren't you going a little too far?"
"If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the knife in my hand will have eyes."
"Okay, I'm really scared of you. I said... When I first saw you online, I originally wanted to find you to do a mission together. But before I found you, a mysterious person suddenly found me and asked me to take on a mission with you. However, the purpose of that mission was not to kill the Scorpion, but to kill his subordinates to anger the Scorpion and make him hunt you down!"
There was coldness in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. She had been hiding her identity for many years and had never logged into Man Yue's account. As soon as she logged in, the other party locked onto her, which meant that the other party was very clear about her identity.
Only the founder of Man Yue and a few managers knew her identity. It seemed that the person who wanted to kill her was among them, but... why did the other party want to kill her?
She put this question aside and said coldly, "Then how did you get involved with the scorpion?!"
"After that mission was over, Poison Scorpion not only sent someone to hunt you down, but he was also looking for me. I planned to hide for a while, so I restored my original identity and returned to the Huo family. At first, I didn't know you were Iris, so I didn't pay much attention to you. Later, the person who helped me conceal my identity asked me to steal the Huo family's secret key."
"I tried to inquire about it indirectly with Grandma, but she kept her answers watertight and refused to reveal the secret key. Later, Grandma probably realized that I had more than just a simple purpose for coming back, so she became much colder towards me. For the secret key, I decided to take back the Huo family first. At the time, I believed that my parents were killed by Huo Yunting's parents, and I even harbored a selfish desire for revenge!"
"You know what happened next. I failed to hand over the key to the other party, and the other party no longer cares about me."
"After you died, Huo Yunting locked me in the basement for three whole years. I thought I would never get out, but I was rescued by Duxie not long ago. His request was that I get the Huo family's secret key. Now he also wants the Xiao family's secret key, so he will definitely use all means to deal with the Xiao family!"
As for the fact that the Poison Scorpion is Tang Ruze, Huo Tianyi does not intend to say it at the moment. After all, if he says too much, Tang Ruze will definitely notice it.
Xiao Muzhen thought for a while and said coldly: "I will spare your life for now. As for what you said, I will personally verify it. If you dare to lie to me, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen took away the dagger that was against his neck, turned around and left.
Just when Huo Tianyi thought she had left and breathed a sigh of relief, her cold voice suddenly rang out again.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. When I came to look for you, I found that your villa was under surveillance. It seems that Poison Scorpion is not so confident about you either."
Huo Tianyi: "..."
After Xiao Muzhen left, Huo Tianyi curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. Next, he just watched Xiao Muzhen and Tang Ruze fight from the side. Everything else had nothing to do with him.
After returning to Jinshuwan, Xiao Muzhen just opened the door and saw Huo Yunting sitting on the sofa with a very ugly face.
"where have you been?"
Meeting his questioning gaze, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said indifferently, "I was bored alone, so I went out for a walk."
"Zhenzhen, I don't want to argue with you. I hope you can be honest. Where did you go?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and looked at Huo Yunting with a cold expression.
"I told you it was just a walk. If you don't believe me, forget it."
She changed her shoes, turned around and walked straight upstairs.
As soon as I stepped onto the first step, my wrist was grabbed.
The next second, he fell into an embrace filled with the scent of pine.
"Huo Yunting, what are you doing?!"
Huo Yunting held her waist tightly and whispered, "Zhenzhen, today's incident is my fault. You just recovered your memory and it must have been very hard for you. But I left you alone in the villa. Now that I think about it, I felt like a real jerk. I asked you where you were going just now because I was scared. I was afraid that you would never want to talk to me again..."
