Chapter 410 Your Mouth is Tougher Than Your Life
Huo Xingzhou looked at him calmly and said, "When you ask someone to do something for you, you always have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, who would help you, Master Zhong?"
Zhong Yi forced a smile and said, "I'll give you another 3% discount on the Future City project. Is that enough?"
"Ten percent."
"Huo Xingzhou, you're crazy!"
The lion opened its mouth wide!
It's just Zhou Pa Pi.
Huo Xingzhou's mouth drooped slightly, and he said slowly: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. But how long can Master Zhong hold on? We are in business, and it's normal to take advantage of others' misfortunes."
"You businessmen have such dirty hearts!"
Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Deal."
Huo Xingzhou said quietly, "If this had happened earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much. Old Chen, bandage Young Master Zhong to stop the bleeding."
"Okay."
Old Chen began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets looking for hemostatic drugs, gauze and other things.
Fortunately, this was Cheng Han's house, and all these things were available. It didn't take long to find them.
"Master Zhong, please be patient."
Old Chen walked to Zhong Yi's side, tore open his clothes, and saw the wound on his right shoulder.
It turned out to be a gunshot wound.
"Master Zhong, the conditions here are limited, and my skills aren't very good. I can only try my best to stop the bleeding. If the young lady were here, she could remove the bullet for you. Do you want to call her over?"
Old Chen smiles naively, but what he says is so infuriating.
Zhong Yi said coldly: "No need."
It's true that a dog follows his master. Why are all the people under Huo Xingzhou like this?
"Then I'll stop the bleeding for you. Once you're safe, you can find a place to operate on your own."
"Um."
Zhong Yi responded while enduring the pain.
Huo Xingzhou sat beside him and asked, "Now, Master Zhong, can you please tell me why you are here? Don't tell me about running away from Haicheng to Yueliang Village."
Zhong Yi rolled his eyes.
Huo Xingzhou was destined not to let him go easily tonight.
Zhong Yi suppressed his anger and said, "To pay respect to the deceased."
"What old friend?"
"He is an elder who is very kind to me."
Zhong Yi's eyes were bloodshot.
He still remembered the old woman's love and tenderness for him. Whenever there was something delicious, Grandma Qiao would always give him some first. He had not received much warmth in his life, but he could only feel it in the Qiao family.
That's why he took the risk to come here.
It's rare for him to come to Haicheng. If he returns to the imperial capital this time, it's hard to say when he will come again.
"Who is that elder?" Huo Xingzhou continued to ask.
Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "Everyone has their own secrets. You don't have to test me anymore. There are some things I won't tell you even if you throw me out and kill me."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened. Such a tough talk reminded him of Qiao Xi.
It turns out that even the stubbornness of talking is a common trait.
It really makes one angry.
Huo Xingzhou said in a bad tone: "Mr. Zhong, it seems that your mouth is harder than your life."
Zhong Yi chuckled twice. After being bullied by Huo Xingzhou all night, she finally got him angry for once.
"hiss!"
Zhong Yi cried out in pain.
Old Chen smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, Master Zhong. I'm a little too strong, you don't mind, do you?"
Zhong Yi looked at him and shook his head, "Be careful."
This Old Chen definitely did it on purpose!
Old Chen wrapped the gauze and said, "Mr. Zhong, the bleeding has stopped."
Zhong Yi said with great pain: "Can you pour me a glass of water?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and boil some water for you."
Lao Chen went to the kitchen to busy himself.
Huo Xingzhou looked at Zhong Yi and said, "Tell me what the pursuit is all about."
There's nothing else to say, there's nothing to hide.
Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Zhong Lingxiao wants to get rid of me. By the end of the year, the Zhong family will announce the next heir, and the old man's health can't hold out for much longer. As long as I die, the Zhong family will belong to Zhong Lingxiao."
Maybe God is kind to Zhong Yi, as Zhong Lingxiao just can't have a child.
"Have you exposed this village?"
"No."
Zhong Yi hissed in pain and said, "I encountered the men sent by Zhong Lingxiao on the national highway. I wasn't paying attention at the time and was ambushed. I drove away from them and abandoned the car and fled. They should stop suspicious vehicles on the way back to the city. Zhong Lingxiao can reach out to the transportation department."
He couldn't return to Haicheng alone, and would be killed by Zhong Lingxiao's men sooner or later.
He looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "You guys are going back tomorrow? Mr. Huo, I'll see you off to the west."
"What benefits can you give me?" Huo Xingzhou asked ruthlessly with a cold look in his eyes.
"Haven't I already given you a discount on the Future City project? Why are you still asking for more?"
"It was one thing just now, and now it's another."
Zhong Yi was so angry that he laughed: "Mr. Huo is worthy of being Mr. Huo, he is good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes."
"Mr. Zhong's life cannot be measured by money."
Huo Xingzhou wasn't entirely happy either. Returning to the village to pay respects and still encountering Zhong Yi was truly an eyesore.
Zhong Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then go ahead."
"I want you to do your best to protect Qiao Xi during the needle testing competition in the imperial capital, and don't let others tamper with the competition."
Zhong Yi's eyes flashed: "Okay."
Even if Huo Xingzhou didn't say it, he would do it.
Some things should be left unspoken, but when Huo Xingzhou brought it up, it was like a deal, erasing his contribution. Zhong Yi was upset, but there was nothing he could do about Huo Xingzhou.
"Mr. Huo, how do you plan to take me back to Haicheng? Your wife will be frightened if I suddenly appear." Zhong Yi didn't want Qiao Xi to know that he had appeared in Moon Village.
Same.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to either.
There are some things they know very well, but they just lack evidence.
Originally, Huo Xingzhou wanted to find evidence before confessing everything, but when he saw Zhong Yi like this, he knew that he was in danger.
There's no need to make those words clear.
They all had the same idea, that they must not bring danger to Qiao Xi.
In the past few years, Zhong Lingxiao's schemes have been endless.
When Zhong Yi first returned to the Zhong family, he suffered a lot and almost died several times.
In the past one or two years, he and Zhong Lingxiao have been evenly matched.
This time, he was careless.
Huo Xingzhou didn't say it directly, but said: "You stay here tonight. I will ask Lao Chen to clean up your traces. Wait until tomorrow and listen to my arrangements. Qiao Xi won't find out."
"Okay, since I can only rely on you now, Zhong Lingxiao is a man of deep scheming. He will definitely find out the real reason why I left Haicheng."
Zhong Yi clutched his shoulder, his face pale. His lips were white and dry, and the pain was excruciating.
Huo Xingzhou stood up and said sternly, "So when you return to Haicheng, clean up the mess and don't let this village get in trouble. Otherwise... even if he doesn't clean you up, I won't let you go."
"knew."
"Stay here and don't die."
Huo Xingzhou left after he finished speaking.
Zhong Yi looked at his back, feeling very complicated.
He never expected that one day he would have to rely on his love rival, but only Huo Xingzhou could take him back to Haicheng safely, and he would be safe once he connected with Wan Jiang and others.
After escaping for a whole night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He just had to get through tonight.
Old Chen boiled some water and took out a set of clean clothes, handed them to Zhong Yi, and said, "Mr. Zhong, please go change your clothes. The smell of blood is too strong."
"Thank you very much."
Old Chen chuckled, "You're so polite."
I hope that when Mr. Zhong returns to Haicheng tomorrow, he can still say "thank you".
