Chapter 409 Huo Xingzhou, I beg you
Qiao Xi walked over quickly.
She bent down and picked up the bouquet of blue gums in front of Grandma Qiao's tombstone. The flowers looked relatively fresh, with only the petals slightly wilted by the sun.
It looks like it will only happen in the next day or two.
"Could it be that Grandpa Cheng has returned to the village? But he will definitely call me when he comes back." Qiao Xi frowned. She had not been able to contact Cheng Han for some time, and she was also very worried.
But thinking that Cheng Han was not an ordinary person, she suppressed her uneasiness.
Huo Xingzhou and Lao Chen looked at each other and said, "Maybe it was set off by the villagers. I think some of the villagers are very enthusiastic."
"Yes, young lady. Look at all the blue gum trees all over the hill. Maybe someone picked a couple of bunches."
In September, the blue gum trees are still in bloom, with clusters of blue-purple petals blooming.
Qiao Xi looked around at the blue gum trees and seemed to be convinced by their words.
She didn't say much, but lit a stick of incense for Grandma Qiao and Ayi and talked for a while.
"Grandma, I'm going to the imperial capital soon. I hope you can bless me to win the championship and punish those who harmed you."
"Ayi, I once told you that I would attend the needle testing conference one day, and I did it."
She is slowly becoming the person she wants to be.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed as he looked at the youthful-looking boy on the tombstone. There was indeed some difference between him and Zhong Yi now.
Temperament has changed dramatically, and even the same person will give people a different feeling.
What's more, appearance will change when a teenager grows into an adult.
So many years.
In Qiao Xi's heart, those who died were dead. How could they possibly be alive? In her cognition, they didn't exist.
She trusted Cheng Han and Zhong Yi too much, thinking that they were the least likely people in the world to deceive her. Even her trust in them was higher than his.
There was a hint of jealousy in Huo Xingzhou's heart.
A warm little hand held him: "Let's go down the mountain."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded and winked at Lao Chen.
Old Chen understood what he meant and left quickly behind him.
…
at night.
The village fell completely quiet.
The moon was at its zenith, and the night dew was thick. Something unusual was happening in the Qiao family courtyard, and an unsettling sound came from somewhere. Qiao Xi was lying in bed, sound asleep, when the man beside her stood up and walked out.
"Master."
Old Chen said in a low voice, "There was some movement in the yard next door, but I didn't dare to disturb it."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with dark colors. "Let's go and take a look."
See which mouse is digging the hole.
Old Chen walked in front, very vigilant.
Next door was Cheng Han's yard, where herbs were drying under the porch. The yard had been kept very clean by the villagers, and a path paved with bluestone led directly to the small building.
Under the moonlight, there were dark red water marks on the bluestone slabs, only a little bit and not very obvious.
But Lao Chen was very cautious and discovered these anomalies.
He bent down and wiped it, carefully identifying it and said, "It's blood, warm. The person must have just run in. I found that the person you asked me to keep an eye on this afternoon had already left the village. Master, please move back a little."
He still had no idea what the situation was and didn't dare to take any risks.
Old Chen walked forward, breathing slowly. Suddenly, he kicked the main door open, causing the poor quality door to shake violently twice.
After entering the house, there was an unbearable smell of blood.
The bloodstains on the ground became more and more obvious, and the mottled blood dripping onto the concrete floor accumulated more and more.
The blood continued to spread inside.
There are people in this house.
Old Chen followed the blood trail to a wooden cabinet, and he and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other.
The person is inside!
Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly, and Old Chen quickly opened the cabinet.
A sharp knife fell on his chest, and Lao Chen's hand knife also touched the man's temple.
The young man was panting, and his shirt was almost stained red with blood.
A strong smell of blood hit me in the face.
There was an unusual coldness and hostility on his delicate face. His affectionate eyes flashed with murderous intent for a moment. When he saw who was coming, he stepped back a little.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Huo. I hope you are well..."
His voice was like the clear sound of a stream, but with a hint of hoarseness.
Huo Xingzhou walked up to him, looked at him calmly, and said, "I'm fine, but you can see that something serious is going to happen."
Zhong Yi swallowed hard, his throat dry as if rubbed by sand. He ran for his life, but it took him an unknown amount of time before he reached the village.
I originally wanted to hide in a familiar place and find some of Mr. Cheng’s herbs to stop my bleeding.
But he didn't expect Huo Xingzhou's men to be so sharp and kill him by surprise.
But that’s okay, at least they are not the ones chasing him.
It's a good thing that Huo Xingzhou is here.
Zhong Yi retracted the dagger, covered his right shoulder, and slowly walked to the square table in front of him and sat down. He said weakly, "I'm in some trouble."
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "Why is Master Zhong here?"
Zhong Yi’s delicate face turned pale: “Running for my life, just passing by.”
Huo Xingzhou's handsome face wore a faint smile. "What a coincidence, I happened to pass by here. Shouldn't you be in Haicheng? Passing by a village hundreds of kilometers away from the center of Haicheng?"
Zhong Yi moved her weak body to sit next to him and said, "The world is indeed small. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Huo here. Why is Mr. Huo here? Shouldn't he be in the bustling city center of Haicheng?"
"I'm accompanying my wife to pay respects to a deceased friend. I heard that today is his death anniversary." Huo Xingzhou glanced at Zhong Yi with a hint of mockery in his eyes and said, "It seems that it really is going to be his death anniversary."
Zhong Yi’s face turned pale and he wanted to curse!
What does it matter if it’s a death anniversary or not?
Is Huo Xingzhou cursing him?
"I don't quite understand what Mr. Huo is saying."
"Oh? Never mind if you don't understand."
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, "It's late at night, please leave here as soon as possible, Master Zhong. This is the house of my wife's master, and strangers cannot stay here. I won't pursue the matter for messing this place up like this. Old Chen, please show me around."
He wants to kick Zhong Yi out!
Zhong Yi's eyes were filled with astonishment: "Huo Xingzhou, someone is chasing me outside! I will die if I go out!"
Zhong Lingxiao invested a lot of money and hired skilled people.
He had risked his life to escape, but Huo Xingzhou was actually trying to get him out. If other villagers discovered his whereabouts, Zhong Lingxiao's men would find him sooner or later.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him contemptuously: "What does it have to do with me?"
Old Chen walked up to Zhong Yi, smiled, and said, “Mr. Zhong, please come in, but don’t dirty our old man Cheng’s house.
"Hey! Huo Xingzhou! What good would it do you if I died?"
Zhong Yi lost his composure and coughed violently, clutching his chest. "Ahem, don't go too far. Without me, how will your cooperation with the Zhong family proceed? How will the Future City project proceed?"
Huo Xingzhou said, "Master Zhong is begging me?"
Zhong Yi swallowed his anger and said, "I beg you."
"Is this how Young Master Zhong would approach asking for help? I don't think he's very sincere."
"Then what are you going to do? If you don't stop the bleeding, I'm going to run out of blood!"
The corners of Zhongyi's eyes were red and her breathing was unstable.
