Chapter 923 This is the first time you care about me so much
Huo Xingzhou's sudden words made Sun Weimeng, who had just entered the room, stunned.
He only heard Huo Xingzhou instructing Xiao Yuan to cook for Zhong Lingxiao and the brat they had captured, so why was he arrested for no reason?
Qiao Xi and Aunt Qian also wanted to ask.
Huo Xingzhou was very calm: "She did something wrong."
"What could a little girl do wrong?"
"The Pei family is contacting her parents." Huo Xingzhou couldn't possibly keep a potential threat around. Even if it was just a test, there was no need to put Qiao Xi's safety at risk. Once he had any suspicion, he would immediately remove the person.
Aunt Qian exclaimed. Although she was in Haicheng, she still knew something about the situation in the imperial capital.
On the way here, Lao Chen specifically told her again because he was afraid that she would be cheated.
"This girl is dishonest and wants to sell out her master for fame?"
"We didn't have time to do that. We just isolated her first. Let's see if she will pass on the news. What the Pei family wants to know most is the situation of Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao. There is another thing. The Pei family's illegitimate child is in our hands, but Pei Zheng should be confused. Let's see how he reacts."
If Pei Zheng is very sure that the person is in his hands, then there must be a traitor.
It is obvious who the traitor is.
Huo Xingzhou could guarantee that his men would not be swayed by money, but he could not guarantee that they would succumb to the enemy's threats. Xiaoyuan was just a soft-hearted girl, and if her parents were in danger, who knew how she would react.
Therefore, when Huo Xingzhou hired people, he preferred those who were homeless.
Such people have no worries, only loyalty and courage.
Just like Lao Chen.
Qiao Xi hoped that Xiao Yuan would not do anything wrong, and that she would come back and tell them if she encountered any difficulties.
Cooperating with the Pei family is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.
"Is this Madoka's probation period? If the news hasn't gotten out, then she's not a suspect."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded.
Qiao Xicai felt a little relieved: "There is still room for maneuver. Just now you said you had captured him. I was almost scared to death by you."
Huo Xingzhou smiled slightly: "It's my fault."
Aunt Qian agreed with the young master's approach and said earnestly, "Young Madam, this is a reminder. Even if Xiaoyuan is fine this time, she can't live with you anymore. Arrange her to work in the company's logistics department or the kitchen, where she'll have more room to develop."
Xiaoyuan has a weak spot. If we can't catch her in one go, there's no guarantee those people won't come a second time.
Besides, she made a big mistake.
There is something to be confessed.
The Huo family will support her instead of acting on her own.
Qiao Xi did not refute Aunt Qian.
She reached out and touched her abdomen, finally accepting the decision.
It was just that after spending so much time together, feelings would develop. She really liked Xiaoyuan, the lively and cheerful girl. But she didn't expect that something would go wrong at this critical moment.
I hope she can stand the test and not go astray.
Otherwise, according to Huo Xingzhou's temper, he would suffer a lot.
Aunt Qian held Qiao Xi's hand and comforted her softly, "Madam, we can avoid a lot of trouble if we act carefully now. It will be different when we return to Haicheng. I know you are a soft-hearted person, but..."
"Don't worry, Aunt Qian, I'm soft-hearted and won't use it for this."
"That's good. I knew you were the most sensible and understanding person."
Aunt Qian stood up and rummaged through the luggage she had brought with her, saying, "I'll go pack first. Wait for me to make something delicious for dinner."
"good."
Huo Xingzhou squeezed Qiao Xi's hand, handed her a small snack and said, "Eat something. Your stomach feels empty."
"Um."
Qiao Xi ate it bite by bite.
Huo Xingzhou gave Sun Weimeng a wink, and the two went around to the back garden to talk.
"What's the matter, Huo Xingzhou, are you really going to let Zhong Yi move in? He has a criminal record and is trying to steal your girl." As soon as Sun Weimeng walked out the door, he couldn't help but threaten.
"Now he can't dig it out. It's an iron wall."
"You're so confident. In terms of looks and scheming, Zhongyi is just as good as you."
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to discuss the issue of his rival poaching him, but instead wanted him to do something. "Just approach that Mr. Zhao and confront him. I think Pei Zheng has no one else to turn to, so maybe I'll ask him to get some information. Rumors in the entertainment industry always spread quickly."
"Okay, I'm the best at causing trouble. And I have a reason to cause trouble for him. Anyway, I'm a playboy and I don't do things according to reason. Are you trying to use me to find out whether Xiaoyuan has betrayed you?"
"We didn't find anything at the villa. Apart from her parents having contact with Mr. Zhao, there were no other traces."
"Then I understand. I will definitely get it done for you."
He was feeling very angry because of the stalking and the trouble.
"As for the Guan family, if they come to us seeking medical treatment recently, don't agree to anything for now. Qiao Xi is soft-hearted and might go if they beg her. But Guan Wenli's character is set, and even if I have someone scold him, it won't change the evil in his bones."
This is easy to be exploited.
Thinking of Guan Wenli, Sun Weimeng also felt disgusted.
How can there be people with low IQ but do things that are disgusting?
Even if the Guan family cures him, what’s the use?
By then, it might be even more sinful.
Sun Weimeng looked at Huo Xingzhou's solemn expression and asked in confusion, "Why do you look so grim? Aren't we always the winners?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were dark. "Do you know that a cornered dog will jump over the wall?"
Pei family!
However, the second largest family in the imperial capital is all under Pei Zheng's control.
Although the Zhong family is large, they have serious internal strife and cannot unite.
But the Pei family is different. If Pei Zheng really risks everything to fight to the death.
Huo Xingzhou cannot guarantee that he can protect everyone.
When a family abandons everything and burns its boats, the unleashed energy is unstoppable. Pei Zheng seemed severely injured, but he always hid behind Zhong Lingxiao. Only a portion of the troops were dispatched for the slaughter at the fork in the road.
It seems that his trump card has never been revealed.
Sun Weimeng licked his dry lips and asked, "Even you are afraid of me?"
Huo Xingzhou said softly: "This is the imperial capital, not Haicheng."
"That……"
"You must be careful when you do things for me."
"This is the first time you've cared about me this much." Sun Weimeng was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "It seems I have to find a chance to leave a child for our Sun family. If I die, you must protect my child and let my parents continue to work hard for a second child. Please don't compromise for me, I will be unhappy."
Huo Xingzhou watched him act out such a tragic scene and nodded.
"Huo Xingzhou, are you serious? I'm just saying. Hurry up and get me a hundred or eighty bodyguards. I can't die so early."
Huo Xingzhou twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll keep someone ready for you. If it's really dangerous, just run away."
"That sounds like human language."
Huo Xingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, took out a beautiful invitation from his suit pocket and handed it to him, "Go ahead and do it."
