Chapter 654 The One Who Avenged Huo Xingzhou
Qiao Xi murmured, "I've been feeling uneasy lately, but I tried to comfort myself. Grandpa Cheng used to go into the mountains to collect herbs, and he'd be gone for months. He's pretty good at surviving in the wild."
She looked at Huo Xingzhou with her almond-shaped eyes, as if wanting to confirm a good result: "You said you sent everyone out to look for him. Is it possible that he was missed? Or maybe Grandpa Cheng is not in the imperial capital now. He may have returned to Haicheng or somewhere else. You must not have searched everywhere."
Therefore, Grandpa Cheng might not have been in trouble, it’s just that Huo Xingzhou’s people didn’t find him.
Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "Originally, I shouldn't have told you before the matter was resolved. But I didn't expect an accident to happen today. Now the news that I don't have bodyguards around me must have spread throughout the imperial capital. Some people will definitely not miss this opportunity."
"Then let Lao Chen follow you first! Then withdraw some more people and we'll call the police!"
Qiao Xi's thoughts were in a mess, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Let's call the police and tell them that Grandpa Cheng is missing. Let's ask them for help, okay? So many people are targeting you, and Huo Beiting's family hasn't given up yet. We can't just watch them revive. You can't let anything happen to you again."
She doesn't want to go back to the old days.
Now it seems that I have everything, but my grandmother, who I depended on for everything, passed away.
Even Grandpa Cheng’s whereabouts are unknown.
If something happened to Huo Xingzhou, she really didn't know what to do.
"Qiao Xi, we can't call the police right now. We don't know what happened over 20 years ago. We don't know how many enemies he has. If the news of his disappearance gets out, it will put him in even greater danger. Do you understand?"
"Qiao Xi, calm down for a moment. Things haven't reached the worst point yet. Everything will be fine."
"good."
Qiao Xi said in a daze.
"Don't worry, I will definitely have people continue the search. I will also be more careful. There are still some hidden forces in Haicheng, and I will ask them to help find Mr. Cheng. I will also recall the Huo family's bodyguards, so you don't have to worry about my safety."
He was indeed negligent today.
Who could have imagined that a madman would do such a stupid thing? There must be someone instigating him behind the scenes.
Being used as a gun.
Qiao Xi looked at his pale face and said, "Who wants to harm you today?"
"Qian family."
At the beginning, Xu Yunye and Lu Yan were racing.
Qian Shao set up a gambling game in Devil's Gorge and lost 800 million to Qiao Xi in one night, leading to bankruptcy and leaving Beijing in disgrace. Who would have thought that he would make a comeback and attack people in the street with a knife?
If Huo Xingzhou hadn't reacted quickly enough and kicked it away, the knife wound would have been much deeper.
I wouldn’t be able to open my eyes and chat with Qiao Xi like I do now.
"It's the Qian family who supplies the Lu family," Qiao Xi said, closing her eyes. "I'm the one who caused this trouble. I was too aggressive back then. He should be seeking revenge on me, not you!"
Huo Xingzhou looked at her annoyed expression, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Then he should come to me. If someone is destined to get hurt, then I'll bear it. Eight hundred million is just the beginning. The most important thing is that I was secretly working to add insult to injury, causing the Qian family to go bankrupt."
"So, he didn't choose the wrong person when he took revenge on me."
Qiao Xi felt like she had several balls of thick cotton in her heart.
It made her feel suffocated.
Huo Xingzhou reached out and rubbed her head and said, "Don't be angry."
Qiao Xi lowered her head, her voice a little lost: "I feel like I'm completely useless. I can't help find Grandpa Cheng, nor can I help you share the burden. Even Old Chen had to be sent to protect me, causing you to be seriously injured."
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Huo Xingzhou reached out his hand, slowly wiped the tears from her cheek with his fingertips and said, "How can you be useless? You saved my life, and you saved so many people, which is equivalent to saving many families."
"Qiao Xi, don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you are very useful. What you are doing now is laying the foundation for the future of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is all meaningful."
"Um!"
Qiao Xi responded in a tearful voice.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Old Chen gently pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Master, you're awake. I just called the police station to find out what happened. The murderer, Qian Shao, has been arrested. He confessed to his actions and said he just wanted to kill you.
I heard that after the Qian family moved out of the imperial capital, their lives became increasingly miserable. Young Master Qian must have called the Lu family for help, but the Lu family didn't offer any assistance. That's why he did this extreme thing."
I don’t know what the Lu family said to him on the phone.
But with the cleverness of an old fox like Lu Bannong, he would definitely not leave any handle.
He is so smart.
"I understand." Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
Old Chen asked, "Should we continue investigating?"
Huo Xingzhou's expression was very cold. "No need. We won't find anything. Lu Bannong is very cautious. If he wants to bring down the Lu family, he can only start with Lu Yingxue. Lu Yingxue has suffered a series of setbacks, and her temperament is unstable, which makes it easier for him to take action."
A woman was betrayed by her lover, disfigured, and suffered setbacks in her career.
At times like this, it's easier to find loopholes.
"OK."
"You go out first."
Qiao Xi said softly, "Then I'll go out first. I'll ask Xiaoyuan to cook some food and bring it over. The food outside is not suitable for you, so I'll cook something lighter at home. Close your eyes and rest for a while. Don't worry."
She mainly wanted to ask Lao Chen about the specific situation.
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded. He was indeed a little sleepy due to excessive blood loss.
Qiao Xi stood up and walked out of the room, gently closing the door and walking to a secluded place in the corridor.
Old Chen followed her and said as they walked, "Young Madam, just call Xiaoyuan. You're tired today, you should rest inside."
"Old Chen, Young Master Qian won't be released, right?"
"Yeah, he's just cannon fodder. Intentional injury should get him five or six years in prison, which is pretty serious."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Regardless of whether this matter is related to the Lu family, I will find a way to get Lu Yingxue's hair. Then you can go to a professional paternity test agency for a test. The only missing link in the Lu family is Lu Yingxue!"
"Okay, Madam. Do you want to tell the Master about this?"
Qiao Xi asked, "If I asked you not to tell me, would you not tell me?"
Old Chen smiled in a somewhat naive manner.
Of course, it must be said that the young master is his biggest employer.
Qiao Xi knew that she couldn't hide this from Huo Xingzhou, and she didn't want to hide it.
She was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a familiar woman slowly approaching from the corner opposite.
Her steps stopped immediately.
How could it be her?
