Chapter 955: Acknowledge a Godparent
Huo Xingzhou was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"Yes, I have sent people to verify it. It should be true, but not accurate enough." Old Chen glanced at Sun Weimeng and did not say the content of the message.
Sun Weimeng muttered, "You have a secret, but you can't even tell me. I'm such a miserable person."
"Young Master Sun, I..."
Old Chen wanted to explain, but Sun Wei covered his ears and ran out of the room.
Although he looked nonchalant, he knew what to listen to and what not to listen to. Old Chen obviously had something to hide, so Sun Weimeng avoided him.
Old Chen watched Sun Weimeng walk away and couldn't help but praise him, "Young Master Sun knows how to act. He's quite good at this. The main reason for this information is Miss Xia. I'm afraid he'll lose his composure after hearing it."
Old Chen knew very well that Xia Sisi was a chess piece that the young master had planted next to Zhao Qin, and she also worked hard to get close to Li Nianqi.
Such an inconspicuous little star actually became the key to shaking the situation.
Huo Xingzhou asked, "What's the news?"
"Miss Xia asked Miss Li to go out with her, and Miss Li initially agreed. But then she changed her mind, saying her family was very strict and she couldn't go out casually for the next two days."
Many things can be inferred from the details.
Li Cheng didn't want Li Nianqi to go out in the next two days.
What are you afraid of?
"Has Pei Zheng already transferred the money to the accounts of those old shareholders?"
"Master, you are truly as foresighted as a god. I bet the money this morning."
It would be impossible to move such a large sum of money silently without revealing any information. And Huo Xingzhou had been sending people to keep an eye on it, so how could he have missed such a big news?
"Old Chen, where do you think Pei Zheng got his money from?"
When Huo Xingzhou asked this, he already had the answer in his mind.
Gave it to me by Li Cheng at the banquet last night.
I don’t know what conditions the two of them negotiated, but they actually made Li Cheng willingly pay so much money.
"Hey, Master, you're asking even though you already know the answer."
"Li Cheng would actually take such a big risk for Pei Zheng. It seems that the cooperation between the two is closer than I thought." Is Li Cheng so sure that Pei Zheng will be able to ship the goods out and recoup his investment this time?
What do they rely on?
Huo Xingzhou checked it over and over in his mind. He wanted to know what Pei Zheng was up to so that he could find something to hold against him.
"Old Chen, go check all of the Pei family's docks and freight channels in the imperial capital."
The reason for checking the docks is that those items might not be able to be shipped out through other channels. But to ensure that there is no risk of any accidents, they must also be checked.
He suspected that Pei Zheng and Li Cheng were throwing smoke bombs.
Pei Zheng has no money!
He will definitely make money from this business, and smuggling is inevitable.
But he is also very aware that others are eyeing him and want to catch him by the tail, so he will be more cautious than before, and even do a lot of superficial work to confuse others.
Huo Xingzhou instinctively felt that Pei Zheng would not take another risk at Shisanwan Wharf.
But what if Pei Zheng wants to play a trick under the lamp?
Huo Xingzhou rubbed his brows and said, "Send more people to investigate the abnormalities in these places."
If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find fault with Pei Zheng again. After this incident, Pei Zheng will probably remain dormant for a long, long time.
"Yes, Master. Actually, we have a more convenient way and source of information..." Old Chen's tone was a little tentative, "We can borrow someone from Master Zhong."
He didn't want to say it at first.
The relationship between the young master and Master Zhong is really too complicated.
But the matter was of great importance, so he spoke out anyway.
"Borrow Feiluan? I'll tell you."
Feiluan and Zhongyi have a strong relationship and can also hack into some databases. If we want to find Pei Zheng's abnormality, perhaps we should ask Feiluan for help.
"Okay, I'll go down first then."
Old Chen didn't dare to look at Huo Xingzhou's face again, for fear that he would think asking his love rival for help was a very embarrassing thing.
Huo Xingzhou didn't think much about it.
Zhong Yi is now living and eating at the Huo family, so what's wrong with asking him for someone.
It’s not like he doesn’t pay!
"Master, breakfast is ready." Aunt Qian knocked on the door and reminded him.
"knew."
…
A moment later.
The Huo family's dining table was particularly lively.
Zhong Yi and Wan Jiang sat on one side, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou on the other. Sun Weimeng, on the other hand, sat alone on the other side, eating breakfast. He had tried hard not to watch the two men fighting.
Aunt Qian served Zhong Yi some light meals. "Mr. Zhong, just tell me what you want to eat. I can also cook the medicinal food that the young lady makes. There are also special dishes from our Haicheng. The young lady's cooking skills are not as good as mine."
She said that on purpose.
He hinted to Zhong Yi that if there was nothing to do, he shouldn't bother his young lady.
"Thank you, Aunt Qian." Zhong Yi said with a faint smile, "But speaking of cooking, I miss the food I ate when I was a child. But since it's inconvenient for Qiao Xi, I won't force it."
"Mr. Zhong, you are so considerate of our young lady. By the way, I got up very early too. Let's push Mr. Zhong for a walk in the garden starting tomorrow."
When Sun Weimeng heard Aunt Qian say this, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Old ginger is still spicy.
"There's no need to trouble Aunt Qian about this matter. Wan Jiang will take care of it." Zhong Yi found it a little funny that the people around Huo Xingzhou treated him as a monster and were on guard against him.
Huo Xingzhou neither stopped nor condoned it.
Qiao Xi placed a bowl of fresh soy milk in front of Zhong Yi. "I've tried the sweet soy milk you like, and it doesn't have any beany smell."
Then he poured Huo Xingzhou a glass of milk and said, "You've been staying up late a lot recently. Drinking some hot milk will make you feel better."
This bowl of water is held so evenly.
Huo Xingzhou took two sips of the milk. He wasn't so petty as to get angry over a bowl of sweet soy milk. He simply said, "Pei Zheng has a big move coming up recently, and he needs to borrow Fei Luan from you."
Zhong Yi smiled slightly: "Fei Luan is not my subordinate. As long as you can afford the price, she will help you."
"Please help me contact them."
"No problem, I can also pay for it. This is our common enemy. You provide the labor and I pay. Whether we can defeat the Pei family in one fell swoop this time depends on you."
Zhong Yi has countless assets under his control, and even after Zhong Lingxiao made such a fuss, Zhong Yi was not idle either.
Amassing countless wealth.
Even if he didn't return to the Zhong family, he would have more money than he could spend in several lifetimes.
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and handed Qiao Xi a plate of fruit. Qiao Xi took a bite of the fruit and felt the fresh and tender fruit fragrance between her lips and teeth. She didn't like greasy food recently, and only liked to eat some fruit and soup.
Zhong Yi sat on one side and could only hear the slight sound of cutlery.
He couldn't see the expressions of the crowd, so he put down his cutlery and said softly, "I also have something to trouble Mr. Huo."
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Qiao Xi and I mentioned that we wanted to become godparents with the Huo family."
