Chapter 655: Auspicious Person and Heaven's Blessing
The bullet grazed Xiao Muzhen's ear and shot into the wall beside her, but Xiao Muzhen acted as if she didn't hear it and ran upstairs quickly.
The man in black followed closely behind, but after going up to the second floor, he didn't see anyone.
He slowed down his pace, held his gun and walked in while looking around. After checking each room and not seeing Xiao Muzhen, his eyes fixed on the last room.
He walked more lightly to the door, and just as his hand touched the door handle, a slight sound suddenly came from behind him.
Before he could turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the gun in his hand fell into the hands of the person behind him.
The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at his head, and the fear of impending death once again struck his heart.
"etc!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Muzhen paused for a moment. She turned the gun and shot the opponent directly in the knee.
"ah!"
With a scream, the man fell to his knees on the ground.
Xiao Muzhen pulled off his mask and sneered when she saw it was Huo Tianyi.
"You're actually not dead."
Huo Tianyi looked at her coldly, "Let's make a deal."
Xiao Muzhen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What deal?"
"I'll tell you who sent me to kill you, and you let me go."
After several battles with Xiao Muzhen, Huo Tianyi knew very well that he was no match for her. At this moment, he could only hope to betray Tang Ruxing to save himself.
Xiao Muzhen's eyes were calm as he blew on the smoking muzzle of the gun. "I know who's behind you. Isn't it Tang Ruxing? This secret is of no value to me."
While speaking, the gun was once again pointed at Huo Tianyi.
"There's one more thing you must not know."
"Tell me about it."
Huo Tianyi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You have to promise first that you won't kill me after I tell you."
Xiao Muzhen sneered, "Talk about it or not, I'm not really interested anyway, you can tell the King of Hell!"
"Don't... I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
"The Tang family wants to deal with the Huo and Xiao families because more than 20 years ago, the families in the capital, led by the Xiao family, joined forces to drive the Tang family out of the capital."
"I know all this. I don't like to hear nonsense."
Seeing that she was about to pull the trigger, Huo Tianyi cursed in his heart and said quickly: "I will get to the point right away. There are five secret keys in total. The Tang family has one, and the remaining four families, Xiao Yun, Fei Su, each have one."
"Back then, the other four families demanded that the Tang family hand over the secret key, but they only handed over a fake one. Now the Tang family wants to collect the secret key because all five keys, when combined, are necessary to unlock the safe deposited by the five families together in an international bank over thirty years ago. I heard that the wealth inside is enough to rival a nation."
"So the Tang family is causing all this trouble just to get the money in the bank safe?"
Huo Tianyi shook his head. "Of course it's not that simple. Besides money, there are also some secrets of the five major families that cannot be made public. The Tang family wants to get all the keys in order to destroy the Tang family's secrets and make the secrets of the four major families public!"
Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Tang family is to destroy the four major families and make the Tang family an existence that no one in the capital can shake.
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes, his gaze becoming a little colder.
"Why was the Tang family attacked by the four major families in the first place?"
"Because the Tang family wanted to become the most powerful family in the capital, they secretly planted many people in other families and even killed Mr. Fei's second son and his wife. That's why the four major families united to drive the Tang family out of the capital."
Xiao Muzhen's previous doubts were finally answered at this moment.
The Tang family was driven out of the capital that year, so of course they were unwilling to accept this. It is also said that the Tang family was in a very embarrassing situation when they left. Now that they have made a comeback, of course they want to get the secret key to destroy the other four families.
Just as Xiao Muzhen was lost in thought, Huo Tianyi seized the opportunity and quickly rushed towards the window next to him, intending to take this opportunity to escape through the window.
However, Xiao Muzhen's gun was faster than his movements, and he shot him directly in the shoulder.
Huo Tianyi's body suddenly tilted and he fell directly from the window.
"Bang!"
His body fell straight down, blood splattered everywhere the moment he hit the ground. He struggled for a few times, and soon became motionless.
Xiao Muzhen took a look downstairs, put away his gun and left from the other side.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when she arrived at the address where Mr. Yun asked her to deliver something.
Seeing a light coming from the house, Xiao Muzhen walked up and knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Wei home? Mr. Yun asked me to come and give you something."
After more than ten seconds, an old man about sixty years old came to open the door.
His hair was gray and his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as a torch and he looked energetic. He stared at Xiao Muzhen with a somewhat unfriendly look.
"What did he ask you to bring?"
Xiao Muzhen handed the box over. When Old Wei opened it, his expression changed drastically. He handed the box back to her and said coldly, "Take it back. I won't accept it!"
"Mr. Wei, this is what Mr. Yun asked me to deliver."
The old man sneered, "I don't care about Mr. Yun or any other old man. Just go back and tell him that the affairs of the capital have nothing to do with me anymore. If he insists on giving the things to me, then when the Tang family comes to ask for them, I will give them directly to them!"
After saying that, without caring about Xiao Muzhen's reaction, Mr. Wei turned around and slammed the door.
Xiao Muzhen hesitated for a moment, but decided to come again tomorrow and try to contact Yun Ling to ask her what Master Yun thought.
On the other side, after Yun Lao and Yun Ling brought Shi Yiheng back to the Medicine Valley, they began to prepare to treat his leg.
After spending a few days together, Shi Yiheng realized that Yun Ling was somewhat interested in him.
But he didn't expose it and pretended not to know.
"Mr. Shi, this is the medicine for tonight."
Shi Yiheng took the bowl of black medicine with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
"Miss Yun, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me by my name. Calling me President Shi makes me feel like I'm facing my subordinate."
Yun Ling took the bowl and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll call you Shi Yiheng from now on, and you can call me Yun Ling."
"Okay, Yunling."
Yun Ling's ears turned red, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I won't disturb your rest."
"Wait, I want to ask, has Mu Zhen contacted you in the past few days?"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Yun Ling's eyes, but she still managed a forced smile. "Not yet. Senior Sister must be busy with something. She'll come find us when she's done."
"Well, I'm just a little worried about her."
Seeing that he looked a little lonely, Yun Ling quickly said, "Senior Sister is very powerful, she will be fine."
