Chapter 86: Mend the Fence After the Sheep Has Ridden
Before Chi Muzhen could say anything, Huo Yunting said coldly, "This is our business. Please don't interfere."
Cheng Shumin was furious. "Yun Ting, how long do you want to protect her?!"
Huo Yunting had a cold face and didn't say anything, but the temperature around him kept dropping. Everyone could see that he was unhappy at the moment.
"Ms. Cheng, don't worry. Mr. Huo and I have already agreed that we will divorce once his leg is healed."
"Chi Muzhen!"
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly, his eyes full of anger.
Chi Muzhen looked calm, "This is a matter of time, and I don't want Mr. Huo to have any conflicts with his family because of this matter."
"You are so considerate!"
Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said nothing.
Cheng Shumin sneered, "Chi Muzhen, you'd better keep your word and stop pestering Yun Ting!"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Huo is not gold or silver, why should I pester him?"
After being choked, Cheng Shumin's face looked a little ugly.
"No wonder the Chi family dislikes you. Who could possibly like you when you're so powerful?"
Chi Muzhen frowned and his eyes turned cold.
Huo Yunting, who was standing aside, had a cold expression on his face and said coldly, "Mom, if you are really free, go back and rest."
Cheng Shumin was incredulous. "Yun Ting, I'm your mother. Are you targeting me for an outsider?"
"If you hadn't been looking for trouble, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"Are you saying that I was wrong to advise you to divorce?"
"Since you know it's wrong, don't mention it again."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Cheng Shumin gritted her teeth in anger and stood up and said, "Okay, I will never care about your affairs again!"
"I couldn't ask for more."
Cheng Shumin was so angry that she left.
The ward became quiet again. Chi Muzhen sat beside the bed and watched Mrs. Huo's drip quietly, without any emotion in her eyes.
More than half an hour later, Mrs. Huo finally woke up.
Seeing that she wanted to get up, Chi Muzhen hurried to help her.
"Grandma, please slow down."
When Huo Jinsong saw that Mrs. Huo had woken up, he hurried over and asked, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Huo's face was still a little pale. She shook her head and said, "I want to be alone for a while. You all should go out."
"Then if you feel uncomfortable, just shout, we'll be at the door."
When leaving, Chi Muzhen tucked the corner of the quilt for Mrs. Huo. The moment she turned around to leave, she saw a tear falling from the corner of Mrs. Huo's eye.
Old Mrs. Huo always had a smile on her face, and it was the first time that Chi Muzhen saw such a sad expression on her face.
Walking out of the ward, Huo Tianyi also came over.
Huo Jinsong whispered, "Your grandmother is awake now. I'll have the servants come over later. You all should go back and rest. There's no point having so many people guarding here."
Huo Tianyi nodded, "Okay, if you have any questions, please let me know."
After leaving the hospital and separating from Huo Tianyi, Huo Yunting said coldly, "This incident must have been premeditated, just like my car accident."
Chi Muzhen unconsciously tightened her grip on the wheelchair armrest and whispered, "Maybe it was just an accident..."
Huo Yunting sneered, his voice devoid of any warmth, "My grandmother actually gave birth to four children. The youngest was kidnapped by her wet nurse when she was still in swaddling clothes. When she was found, she was already dead.
This matter is taboo in our family. No one dares to mention it. At that time, few people knew about it. As long as we investigate one by one, we can find the person behind it! "
Chi Muzhen didn't expect that there was such a past event. No wonder Mrs. Huo looked so sad just now. It was probably the express delivery that reminded her of the grief of that year.
"Do you suspect the same person did both of these things?"
"It's not doubt, it's certainty!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and didn't continue the topic. "Let's go back first."
After returning to the villa and moving Huo Yunting to bed, Chi Muzhen returned to the room and immediately opened WeChat.
The person with the black avatar has sent a document and more than a dozen messages. Chi Muzhen read them one by one, and his expression became more and more solemn.
It turned out to be a poisonous scorpion!
She had originally planned to wait until Huo Yunting's leg healed before dealing with the poisonous scorpion, but she didn't expect that he would hurt the people around her again and again!
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and typed quickly on the keyboard.
[Help me find the location of the poisonous scorpion! ]
Soon, the other party sent a message.
[The last place the Scorpion was seen was in a bar in Chengdu, located at 383 Jiutong Road.]
【Thanks! 】
[The Poison Scorpion is very powerful. I suggest you make a plan before dealing with him.]
Chi Muzhen did not respond to this sentence.
She changed her clothes and left the villa quietly.
However, she didn't notice that the curtains in Huo Yunting's room were open a little, and a tall figure was standing by the window, quietly watching her back as she left.
Not long after Chi Muzhen left the villa, he discovered that he was being followed.
After shaking off the tail behind her, half an hour later, she took a taxi directly to LoseDemon.
The Chinese name of this bar is Lost Devil. The entrance fee alone is 20,000 yuan, so it is full of rich people. The events are much more daring than other bars, but because it has a backstage, nothing has ever happened.
Chi Muzhen paid the entrance fee, took a fox mask from the waiter at the door, put it on, and walked into the bar.
The bar is on the second underground floor. As soon as you walk in, the deafening sound of music fills your ears.
Seeing the eye-catching dances of several couples on the dance floor, Chi Muzhen looked away indifferently and walked to the bar to order a glass of wine.
After Poison Scorpion came to Chengdu, he often came to LoseDemon. Chi Muzhen was not sure whether he would come tonight.
The bartender had seen countless people, and when he saw Chi Muzhen's delicate chin and snow-white skin, he knew that she was a beauty. After making her a drink, he also gave her a piece of pudding.
Chi Muzhen smiled at him, then supported her chin and looked at the people around her from time to time with a curious look.
After observing Chi Muzhen for more than half an hour, the bartender confirmed that she was alone and then approached her to talk to her.
"Beautiful lady comes to the bar alone?"
Chi Muzhen picked up the glass and drank it all, then smiled and looked at the bartender and said, "Well, you can't come alone?"
"Of course you can, but it's more dangerous to go alone. It's best to come with a friend."
If he hadn't seen the desire in the other person's eyes, Chi Muzhen might have really thought that this was someone who was kind enough to remind him.
She raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"I'm about to get off work, so I'll take you home. It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night, but if you still want to play, I can take you."
After a moment of silence, Chi Muzhen nodded and said, "I'd better go home. It's boring to be alone. Sorry to bother you."
"It's no trouble. It's my honor to serve a beautiful lady."
After changing his clothes, the bartender took Chi Muzhen to the private room.
Chi Muzhen looked puzzled, "Shouldn't we leave the same way we came in?"
"That exit is crowded. We usually take the other exit, which leads to the subway station. Just come with me."
"good."
Chi Muzhen followed him for more than ten minutes. The music in the bar became farther and farther away, and there were no more people around.
"Hey bro, how far is the subway station you mentioned?"
"It's almost there."
When they reached a corner, two tall men suddenly appeared and reached out to grab Chi Muzhen's hand.
She took a step back to avoid it, looking coldly at the bartender standing behind them, "What do you want to do?"
