Chapter 675: Peddlers and Hawkers
Realizing that the car was losing control, Xiao Muzhen held the steering wheel tightly without any expression on his face.
“Drip…drip…drip…”
Suddenly, a rhythmic sound was heard in the car. Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that Tang Ruxing's men not only tampered with the brakes of her car, but also installed a time bomb in the car.
This forced her to either jump out of the car and die, or be killed by the bomb.
However, Xiao Muzhen had no choice. If he jumped out of the car, he would have a chance of survival. If he stayed in the car, he would be blown into fireworks.
She looked at the road conditions ahead, found the right opportunity, unbuckled her seat belt and jumped out of the car.
The sound of wind blew past his ears. The moment Xiao Muzhen fell to the ground, he felt that all his internal organs were displaced. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Shortly after she jumped out of the car, a huge explosion was heard. The car she was driving caught fire and crashed heavily into the side of the mountain. Thick smoke billowed, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
When he heard the explosion, Tang Ruxing was drinking tea in the living room with a relaxed look on his face.
"Boss, do you need to send someone to check on the situation?"
Tang Ruxing took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "No, if she could survive, I would have more fun."
What he likes most is to watch his prey struggle. It would be boring if it died too quickly.
When he woke up again, Xiao Muzhen felt pain all over his body.
"Zhenzhen, you finally woke up!"
Xiao Muzhen turned around and saw Xie Fu with a happy face, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Afu...why...are you here?"
"I'll go call the doctor first!"
Soon, a dozen people in white coats pushed the door open, examined Xiao Muzhen, gave her some precautions, and left.
Hearing that Xiao Muzhen was fine, Xie Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhenzhen, you were in a car accident last night. I happened to be walking downstairs when you were taken to the hospital. I was so scared when I saw it was you. Luckily, you're okay. The doctor said you only suffered minor injuries."
Xiao Muzhen sat up and asked, "You didn't tell my mom and the others about this, did you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open and Xun Zi walked in quickly with dissatisfaction on her face.
"What? You still don't want to tell me? You're so brave that you even dare to go to Tang Ruxing alone. Are you going to scare me to death?!"
Meeting Xun Zi's angry gaze, Xiao Muzhen suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I can't come?"
“…Of course.”
"Then why do you care about me?"
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Seeing that Xun Zi was very angry, Xiao Muzhen stopped talking. After all, the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, and he might even be scolded by Xun Zi.
Xie Fu knew that Xun Zi didn't like her very much, so she stood up and said awkwardly, "Zhenzhen, since Aunt Xun is here, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come see you again this afternoon."
"good."
After Xie Fu left, Xun Zi sat down beside Xiao Muzhen's bed.
"Mom, don't be so cold to Xie Fu...it's been so long since the last incident..."
Before he could finish his words, a peeled orange was stuffed into his hand.
"Okay, I have no objection to you continuing to be friends with her, and don't try to convince me to be nice to her. I can't do it!"
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Xiao Muzhen pursed his lips and said nothing more.
"By the way, your father went to Huo Jinsong's funeral today."
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes and had no reaction.
"oh."
"If it weren't for the cooperation between Xiao and Huo, I would definitely not let him go."
Xiao Muzhen rubbed his swollen and painful temples and said calmly, "Mom, I'm not interested in this matter. Besides, I just woke up. Can you leave me alone for a while?"
"Okay, I'll go get you some food. Porridge or wontons?"
"casual."
After Xun Zi left, the ward returned to silence.
Xiao Muzhen picked up the phone beside him and as soon as he opened it, he saw that Huo Yiyi had sent him more than a dozen messages.
[Zhenzhen, I'm sorry about what happened at the police station yesterday. At that time, I couldn't accept the fact that my father had passed away...so my words were a little hurtful. I hope you don't mind...]
[The police have already told me that my father did fall while trying to save my mother. Under the circumstances at the time... you probably didn't react. I shouldn't have doubted you...]
You don't want to be friends with me anymore, right?
…
【Zhenzhen, please reply to me...】
After reading these messages expressionlessly, Xiao Muzhen closed the chat interface between the two.
She could understand that Huo Yiyi was in pain because she had just lost her father, but she could not forgive her for doubting her.
She put down her phone, closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while, but she fell asleep soon after.
The funeral scene of Huo Jinsong.
There were a lot of people at the funeral, most of whom were partners of the Huo family, but there were very few friends of Huo Jinsong.
Nearing noon, Huo Yiyi looked at Huo Yunting, who had been standing by the mourning hall since morning without moving, and said, "Brother, you should go and have a rest. I'll stay here."
"It's okay, just go and rest if you're tired."
"I'm not tired."
As the two were talking, a tall figure approached them.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Huo, I express my condolences."
Hearing this voice, Huo Yiyi turned her head suddenly, and when she saw it was Tang Ruxing, her face changed immediately.
"Mr. Tang, please leave. You are not welcome here!"
Huo Yiyi checked last night and found out that it was under Tang Ruxing's arrangement that Cheng Shumin met Xiao Muzhen.
If it weren't for Tang Ruxing, none of this would have happened!
Tang Ruxing smiled and said, "Ms. Huo, I haven't offended you, have I? I came here today just to give Mr. Huo's father a ride."
Huo Yiyi gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Huo Yunting stopped him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang."
"You're welcome, but I have one more thing to do this time."
As he spoke, he took out a lawyer's letter and handed it to Huo Yunting. "Mr. Huo, because of your father's fall from the Qida building, Qida's image has been affected. Although I am also very sad about his death, you should also take the responsibility you should bear, right?"
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes and took a look, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely cold.
He did not take the lawyer's letter, but looked at Tang Ruxing.
"Mr. Tang, based on what you said, should I sue Qida? After all, Qida didn't take proper safety measures on the top floor, which is why my father fell from the building. Qida should bear at least half of the responsibility for my father's death."
"I don't like what Mr. Huo said. Your father has legs. If he insists on going to the top floor, can I tie him up with a rope?"
Huo Yiyi was so angry that her face turned blue. She snatched the lawyer's letter from his hand and tore it into pieces, shouting angrily: "Get out! Get out right now!"
