Chapter 412: Master Zhong is very popular with women
Old Chen in the driver's seat reacted quickly, covering his mouth. "Yawn! Yawn! Madam, the temperature in the countryside is lower than in the city. I seem to have caught a cold last night."
Qiao Xi looked at him suspiciously.
Could it be that she was in her sleep and heard it wrong?
Why do I feel like the sound is coming from the trunk of the car?
Huo Xingzhou slowly opened his eyes, patted her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Xi paused, looked into his calm eyes and shook her head: "Nothing."
With Huo Xingzhou here, what could go wrong in the car?
She is too suspicious.
The car continued to move forward for a while.
There was a roadblock at the intersection, and the Lincoln slowed down. There were several cars parked ahead.
"Master, check for drunk driving."
Old Chen saw it clearly.
Normally, drunk driving checks are conducted at night, rarely during the day. At this time, and in this location with few cars, Old Chen immediately thought there was something fishy going on.
This is not a drunk driving check, this is a human check.
It's just a matter of finding an excuse to stop the car and give an explanation to the higher-ups, and there will be no punishment.
He saw that the trunks of the cars in front of him had been turned over, but the car owners didn't say anything. They just passed the checkpoint as quickly as possible and left.
Old Chen braked and moved forward slowly.
Finally arrived at the checkpoint.
The uniformed men came over with breathalyzers. They pointed the breathalyzers at Lao Chen and said, "Blow into it."
He then carefully looked inside the car, walked around the car to the back, and tried to open the trunk.
Only the trunk was locked.
Qiao Xi frowned, feeling very strange. They were checking for drunk driving, but why did they seem to be checking for something else?
"Open the trunk." The man in uniform knocked on the car and said.
This Lincoln Navigator wasn't particularly expensive, and many people could afford it. The Huo family wouldn't normally drive one. The license plate wasn't very conspicuous, so naturally, these small-timers didn't recognize it.
Old Chen said with a sullen face, "You can't open that car. There are free-range chickens in the back that the villagers gave us. They're really good at jumping around. They'll run away as soon as the trunk is opened."
The little rooster crowed at the right time.
“Chuckle!”
Those people insisted: "Open the trunk, we want to take a look. Cut the crap, this is a mission assigned to us by the higher-ups."
"Above? Which above?"
Old Chen laughed. "Our President Huo has some connections in Haicheng. Why don't we call your superiors and ask them clearly? I've never seen anyone check the car during a drunk driving check. Isn't it enough that I didn't drink? You guys are really good!"
Old Chen took out his cell phone and was about to make a call.
Those people looked at each other in confusion, "What Mr. Huo?"
"There are several Mr. Huos in Haicheng, and the one who's at the center is of course Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group." Old Chen said bluntly, "This is the first time I've encountered someone who dares to stop Mr. Huo's car. Let me look in my contact list and see what the captain of your traffic police brigade has to say."
Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group?
They took a closer look behind them.
The half-open window, open for ventilation, revealed the man's stern and handsome face. His brows were gloomy, with an unbreakable coldness.
One of them took out his phone, pointed at a picture he had found online and said, "Look, it's really Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group. He's a member of the Huo family, we..."
"If it's really him, what should I do?"
"We accepted money privately to do things. If this gets reported to the higher-ups, we might get suspended."
They were all scared.
They whispered to each other for a while, then said flatteringly, "Excuse me, Mr. Huo. We are following the rules. We are truly sorry for offending you. We will let you go right away!"
"Boss Huo, take care."
They decided to send the big Buddha away as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble.
But which richest man in Haicheng would run to this rural area and bring back local chickens to the city? I really can't tell.
Old Chen snorted coldly, "Shouldn't we have done this earlier?! I'm being polite to you, but you really think you're a piece of cake!"
He stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
In the rearview mirror, those people were still checking the vehicles behind them.
“These people are so idle!”
Huo Xingzhou said in a deep voice: "Old Chen, call the traffic police later and report what happened today."
"Yes, Master."
These people can forget about keeping their jobs as they are abusing their power for personal gain.
They are just pretending to be a big shot and think everyone else is a fool.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Did something big happen?"
She felt very strange.
"It's okay, it's just some people trying to make some money." Huo Xingzhou pinched her fingers and said, "Don't worry too much. After all, there won't be any trouble in Haicheng."
Qiao Xi slowly leaned on his chest, grabbing his slender fingers and playing with them unconsciously.
"You didn't sleep well last night. Are you tired?"
"Not tired."
Qiao Xi said softly, "You're not made of iron, how can you not be tired? When we get home later, take a nap first."
Huo Xingzhou chuckled. "Don't you know best whether I'm made of iron? It's not like I haven't indulged myself in the past. It won't delay anything if I don't get enough rest for a night."
This is a bit ambiguous.
Qiao Xi's cheeks flushed.
Someone in the trunk gritted their teeth.
She glanced at Old Chen, who was concentrating on driving, and then changed the subject, saying, "Last time you talked about the Zhong family's secrets, you stopped halfway through. Can you tell me now? I'm really curious."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he said, "Now, I guess I can speak."
Everyone in the car pricked up their ears, even the black little rooster stopped crowing.
"Then tell me, what exactly is this mysterious rumor about? Or did you just find out about it by accident? Is it something that not many outsiders know about?"
"I found out from time to time when I sent people to investigate things."
Huo Xingzhou spoke in a low, slow voice, "This secret has never been confirmed, and is only circulated among a small number of people in the imperial capital. I heard that when the Zhong family's illegitimate son was adopted, they only hoped that he would give birth to a son to be adopted by Zhong Lingxiao."
"Then what?"
"Some say they wanted him to have a child with Zhong Lingxiao's wife, Zhao Shuyuan. This was his father, Zhong Hongfei's idea, but the old man of the Zhong family saw through it and severely punished him."
Qiao Xi was shocked: "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, isn't this... Did Zhong Hongfei succeed?"
"This is just a rumor, it hasn't been confirmed. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Master Zhong in person to find out whether it's true or not."
Qiao Xi sighed, "This Young Master Zhong is truly patient and tolerant, but he also has many beautiful women. Xiang Mingzhu seems to like him very much, and even someone as arrogant as Lu Yingxue, who is rumored to be his fiancée, is actually his fiancée."
sharp!
Huo Xingzhou laughed, his eyes glancing at the trunk filled with souvenirs and said, "Perhaps, Young Master Zhong is very popular with women."
fart!
fart!
What kind of weird rumor is this!
Young Master Zhong hid in the trunk, angry as a bomb!
The bastard Huo Xingzhou actually ruined his reputation in front of Qiao Xi! But he dared not speak out!
ah!
It's so infuriating!
He gritted his teeth, his delicate eyebrows and eyes filled with a layer of depression.
Don't wait for him to find an opportunity to fight back.
