Chapter 678 I wish you all the best
The phone on the coffee table in the bedroom vibrated twice.
Qiao Xi broke free from Huo Xingzhou's embrace, walked over, picked up her phone, and clicked on the unread group message.
It is an internal group of the Chinese Medicine Association.
Lu Bannong notified that a meeting would be held in three days, as there were important matters that required the participation and voting of all directors.
After reading it, Qiao Xi waved her phone at Huo Xingzhou. "Lu Bannong wants to hold an emergency meeting, but he didn't say what it was for. You're so good at predicting things, so what do you think his purpose for calling this emergency meeting is?"
"You have to figure out the answer yourself."
Huo Xingzhou walked to her side, took her phone, and turned off the screen lock.
Then he unbuttoned her coat with his fingers, took it off and put it aside.
Pushed her to sit on the soft big bed.
"Start now, pretend to be sick. Let Jiaojiao and Sun Weimeng be your touchstones to see if your acting skills can hide it from them. That way, Lu Bannong will be more convinced in three days."
The enemy has lowered its vigilance and gradually revealed its true colors.
Let them continue to be arrogant.
Qiao Xi nodded obediently, putting her plush slippers aside. She leaned against the headboard and watched Huo Xingzhou cover her with the quilt.
"You didn't sleep last night, so it's a good time to get some sleep."
Qiao Xi responded softly.
Huo Xingzhou stayed for a while and then left. He walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
There was some noise in the living room downstairs. Huo Xingzhou stood at the stairs, looking down from above, and said coldly, "Old Chen, come to my study. Jiaojiao, Sun Weimeng, keep quiet and don't disturb others."
"oh."
Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng are particularly obedient.
Huo Sijiao raised her head and asked, "Brother, how is my sister-in-law?"
"You need to rest. Take good care of Furong Beauty Salon during this time and don't let anyone with ulterior motives take away the Jade Muscle Cream. Don't stay home if you don't have anything to do."
"I understand, brother."
Huo Xingzhou turned around and left, and Old Chen went upstairs happily.
Huo Sijiao pouted: "Sun Weimeng, do you feel that this is strange?"
Sun Weimeng shuddered and asked tremblingly, "Why is it strange?"
"intuition."
Huo Sijiao frowned, puzzled.
Sun Weimeng patted his chest. Women's intuition is really scary.
…
In the study.
Huo Xingzhou sat at the desk and looked at Old Chen in front of him and said, "You should arrange all those bodyguards. They will be too conspicuous if they are in the open."
"OK."
Lao Chen is very experienced in doing these things.
He glanced at Huo Xingzhou's mobile phone on the desk, which turned black and bright, and bright and black again.
It seems like the sound is muted, only the screen changes.
Lao Chen reminded: "Master, someone called you."
“I see.”
Huo Xingzhou looked at the number that had no remarks but was extremely familiar, and wanted to block it.
But in the end, he picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Huo Xingzhou, is Cheng Han really dead?" The person who called to ask was Zhong Yi. He had limited manpower to dispatch. Furthermore, some people were misled by Huo Xingzhou's men and ultimately never saw Cheng Han's body.
He just said that he had indeed found someone in the deep mountains.
Soon, news of Cheng Han's death spread.
Zhong Yi saw a picture on the news showing Qiao Xi having a conflict with Lu Bannong in the funeral hall and then fainting from grief.
He couldn't help but believe it!
Qiao Xi is the most straightforward person who doesn't know how to hide anything. Even though she has been with Huo Xingzhou for a long time, she probably wouldn't joke about such a big thing.
He had a hundred layers of filters for the girl in his memory and never thought that she would collude with Huo Xingzhou to tell such a huge lie.
"The ashes are placed in the funeral home in the imperial capital. If Young Master Zhong doesn't believe it, you can go and check it out."
Huo Xingzhou was so sure, Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment and said coldly, "Was it really the Lu family who did it, and not just a fall? Was the person who died really Cheng Han? Are you sure you're not mistaken at all?"
He still feels it's a bit unreal.
He knew very well who Cheng Han was.
How could he die like this?
He had sworn to Huo Xingzhou that he would not die, but now he is really slapping himself in the face.
There is an indescribable complexity in Zhongyi's heart.
Huo Xingzhou leaned back in his chair and said, "I might make mistakes, but Qiao Xi won't."
Yes.
Qiao Xi doesn’t know how to do that.
Zhong Yi's suspicions were mostly eliminated.
What followed was a feeling of suffocation, and the old man who had once been tough on the outside but soft on the inside was eventually killed.
"Qiao Xi, is she... okay?"
"I fainted and need to rest in bed. I'm afraid it will take some time for me to recover." Huo Xingzhou lied without blushing or beating his heart.
His tone was calm.
Zhong Yi frowned, his tone tinged with cruelty: "The end of the year is approaching, and it's time for our Zhong family to decide on an heir. Once I seize power, it will be the end of the Lu family!"
His marriage was forced upon him, and he never thought of any progress with Lu Yingxue.
The Lu family will eventually perish.
"Then I wish all your wishes come true in advance. I'm waiting for that day."
Zhong Yi took a deep breath: "Huo Xingzhou, you won't look forward to that day. Because when the time comes, Qiao Xi and I...will eventually recognize each other. I believe in her, and she always has me in her heart. I have never let go..."
Huo Xingzhou hung up the phone directly with a gloomy face.
If you can't speak, don't speak.
"Master, please don't be angry. Whatever Young Master Zhong says is just empty talk. Our Young Madam only has you in her heart. What does Young Master Zhong mean? He is just a thing of the past."
Old Chen comforted.
"Oh, I care about what he says?" Huo Xingzhou sneered, "I just think he's overestimating his own abilities."
He looked at Lao Chen and said, "From now on, don't answer any calls he makes. And don't reveal any news to him. It's best to let him be sad."
"yes."
There was a hint of laughter in Old Chen's tone. "Young Master, there's news from Second Young Master Xu that Zhao Chang has returned to the southwest. We've been fighting fiercely with him recently. If we can take over the herbal medicine cultivation areas under Zhao Chang's control, the Lu family will be left with nothing to rely on."
Hold the lifeline!
First cut off the Lu family’s funds.
Let the Lu family father and daughter have only a name for themselves and then destroy their reputation.
This cancer can only be completely eradicated.
"We must take over the southwestern planting area. I'll find a way."
Zhao Chang and the Lu family signed a ten-year stable supply agreement, and Lu Bannong did leave himself a way out.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his brows and said calmly, "First, have Xu Yunye hide his identity. Don't let Zhao Chang see through it. Be careful."
"Okay. Second Young Master Xu has always used an alias outside and is very careful."
"Zhao Chang and the Lu family are close, and the Lu family is no stranger to Xu Yunye. They told him to be careful in everything and not to be careless. Zhao Chang is a ruthless character, and his group is not afraid of getting blood on their hands."
Huo Xingzhou knew that Qiao Xi didn't want Xu Yunye to get into an accident.
…
Three days later.
An extraordinary meeting of the Chinese Medicine Association.
