Chapter 359 He was poached by Zhong Yi
Huo Xingzhou lowered his brows.
There was a hint of darkness in his eyes, and he stared at the photo with his eyes flashing.
This is a group photo.
It looked quite old, but the faces of the boys and girls inside were still childish, and they looked to be in their teens. One of them was his wife Qiao Xi, and the other's facial features looked familiar.
According to Qiao Xi, this is Ayi, her best playmate and the person she owes the most.
But Huo Xingzhou saw the shadow of another person.
Zhong Yi, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital, had recently been arguing with him a few times without either of them gaining the upper hand.
The dead boy was called Ayi.
And his name is Zhong Yi.
Although they seem to have different temperaments, they have similar facial features.
The two people in the photo are holding a large bouquet of blue gum flowers, swaying and eye-catching, which is a bit annoying!
Huo Xingzhou pursed his lips slightly, thinking of Qiao Xi's several times of absent-mindedness and her unusual attention to Zhong Yi.
He looked at the back of the photo and saw a line of words.
A line of very delicate font, clearly Qiao Xi's handwriting, still a little childish.
His pupils constricted and his heart trembled.
There was a surge of jealousy in his eyes, but he tried his best to endure it.
She actually wrote such a sentence at that time?
Huo Xingzhou bent his fingers, his joints tense, and stuffed the photo into his suit pocket.
It took him a long time to calm down and finally stop losing his composure.
But the two people in the photo and the words behind it pierced his heart like sharp needles.
When Old Chen passed by carrying medical books, he saw his stern face and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Xingzhou suppressed his anger and spoke in a calmer voice, "Old Chen, let's not move these books for now. Come downstairs with me. I have something to tell you."
Old Chen obediently put the book aside, patted the dust off his hands, and followed him downstairs.
For some reason, Old Chen always felt that the young master was very angry.
He seemed to be restraining something.
He hadn't seen the young master like this for a long time since the fall of the Huo family's main branch.
What on earth... happened?
The two walked into the living room.
Huo Xingzhou looked at the fresh and tender blue eucalyptus flowers in front of the large French window, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Old Chen, I know your ability, and you have many friends. Please help me secretly investigate someone."
"Master, please speak."
"Check the Zhong family for me... No, send someone to check on a young man named Ayi in Moon Village. I want to know everything about him. Who are his parents? What happened in Moon Village? How did he die? I want to know every detail."
He shouldn't have investigated Zhong Yi, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family, as that would have yielded no results.
The Zhong family must have made thorough preparations.
The past of an illegitimate child is a shame, and no one wants it to be dug up and become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Besides, Zhongyi’s past must be extraordinary.
If we change our thinking and directly investigate the young man Ayi, we will probably find a lot of clues.
"Old Chen, I know you have some old friends under you, so I'll leave this matter to you." Huo Xingzhou trusted Old Chen very much. He was very sensible in his work, loyal, and had some connections in the underworld.
Seeing how serious he was, Old Chen didn't dare to neglect him and said, "Master, leave this matter to me. I will investigate it thoroughly."
Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "Don't let anyone find out. Stop if you see anything unusual. Don't tell anyone about this, including Qiao Xi. I'm afraid there are some forces behind the scenes who are also paying attention to this person. You should pay more attention."
"Don't worry! Master, we're all trained in investigation. My old friends are all tight-lipped people, and they've been looking for a chance to work with you for a long time. I told them I earn a hundred thousand a month and have lifetime insurance, and they were envious. This is a great opportunity to join you."
Naturally, Old Chen cannot handle such a secret matter alone.
He still has to stay in Haicheng to protect the young master and the young mistress, so the credit of finding the person will be left to his old friends.
"Don't leak any information!"
"Understood, Master!"
Huo Xingzhou explained it again and again, and Old Chen naturally understood that this must be a very important matter, and perhaps it would have a very big impact.
Even Old Chen's expression was solemn.
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps at the stairs. Old Chen quickly put his worries aside and looked at his young master's face, which was still calm.
When Qiao Xi walked downstairs, she saw Lao Chen and Huo Xingzhou standing opposite each other.
"Madam, I'll go get the car ready."
Lao Chen made an excuse and left.
Qiao Xi was a little surprised. She walked over to Huo Xingzhou and looked up and asked, "Didn't you say last night that you would take a day off today and not go to the company? Why did Lao Chen prepare the car? Is he going out?"
"Xu Guangyao is in court today, aren't you going?"
His eyes were dark, as deep as obsidian. Qiao Xi wanted to grab Huo Xingzhou's hand, but saw him walking towards the dining table.
Her hand pulled empty.
Qiao Xi didn't think much about it, thinking he didn't notice.
As she walked towards the dining room, she said, "Aunt Qian is drying the medical books. I heard it was your order. You wanted me to move the medical books to the study so that I can work and read with you."
She sat opposite Huo Xingzhou, looking at him with her sparkling almond eyes.
The man poured her a glass of milk and said, "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll have someone clean up the studio on the third floor, and you can read there."
"I'm not unwilling."
Qiao Xi took the glass and took a sip. "Of course I want to be with you all the time."
Huo Xingzhou's lips curved slightly. He looked at the large bouquet of fresh blue eucalyptus flowers in front of the large French window and said nonchalantly, "When did you decorate your house with blue eucalyptus flowers?"
Speaking of blue gum flowers.
Qiao Xi's rosy lips curled up uncontrollably: "It was the day you gave me flowers."
Her eyes gleamed as she spoke, "I resigned from the hospital and celebrated with my colleagues at Fuchun Garden. You happened to be in the next room discussing business, and you asked the waiter to bring it over. Mr. Huo, don't you remember?"
The man half-closed his eyes and whispered, "Remember."
He naturally remembered that he was discussing business with Zhong Yi that day.
She also remembered that he never sent her any blue gum flowers to celebrate her resignation.
I also remember the language of the blue gum flowers, which I thought was her possession and confession of love for him.
But I didn't expect that someone had already taken the lead so long ago.
Zhong Yi is quite capable. She gave him a blue eucalyptus flower under his nose, which means "I love you only and not everything else".
There were some small moves long before that.
Huo Xingzhou gritted his teeth, but the smile on his handsome face became even more intense.
Qiao Xi asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Huo Xingzhou pursed his lips slightly and said, "I am a little uncomfortable."
Heart discomfort.
It’s so congested!
He has been poached for so long, but he only discovered it now.
When Qiao Xi heard this, she became a little panicked.
She quickly grasped Huo Xingzhou's left hand, frowning as she took his pulse. She was most concerned about his health, and she became very anxious when she heard that he was not feeling well.
