Chapter 359 He was poached by Zhong Yi

Huo Xingzhou's brows lowered.

There was a hint of darkness in his eyes, and he stared at the photo with his eyes flashing.

This is a group photo.

It looked quite old, but the boys and girls inside still looked childish, and they looked to be in their teens. One of them was his wife Qiao Xi, and the other one's facial features looked familiar.

According to Qiao Xi, this is her best playmate and the person she owes the most, Ayi.

But Huo Xingzhou saw the shadow of another person.

Zhong Yi, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital, had been arguing with him for a while recently, but neither of them got the upper hand.

The dead boy was called Ayi.

And his name is Zhong Yi.

These seemingly different temperaments have similar facial features.

The two people in the photo are holding a large bouquet of blue eucalyptus flowers, which are swaying and eye-catching, and a bit annoying!

Huo Xingzhou pursed his lips slightly, thinking of Qiao Xi's several times of absent-mindedness and her unusual attention to Zhong Yi.

He looked at the back of the photo and saw a line of words.

A line of very delicate handwriting, clearly Qiao Xi's, and still a little childish.

His pupils constricted and his heart trembled.

There was a surge of jealousy in his eyes, but he tried his best to endure it.

She actually wrote such a sentence at that time?

Huo Xingzhou bent his fingers, tensed his joints, and stuffed the photo into his suit pocket.

It took him a long time to calm down and not lose his composure.

But the two people in the photo and the words behind it pierced his heart like sharp needles.

When Old Chen passed by carrying medical books, he saw that he had a stern face and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Xingzhou suppressed his anger and said in a calmer voice, "Old Chen, let's not move these books for now. Come downstairs with me. I have something to tell you."

Old Chen obediently put the book aside, patted the dust off his hands, and followed him downstairs.

I don't know why, but Lao Chen always feels that the young master is very angry.

He seemed to be restraining something.

He hadn't seen the young master like this for a long time since the fall of the Huo family's eldest branch.

What on earth... happened?

The two walked into the living room.

Huo Xingzhou looked at the fresh and tender blue eucalyptus flowers in front of the large French window, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Old Chen, I know your ability, and you have many friends. Please help me secretly investigate a person."

"Master, please tell me."

"Check the Zhong family for me... No, send someone to check on a young man named Ayi in Moon Village. I want to know everything about him. Who are his parents, what did he experience in Moon Village, how did he die, I want to know all the details."

He shouldn't have investigated Zhong Yi, the illegitimate son of the Zhong family, as that would have been a complete failure.

The Zhong family must have made thorough preparations.

The past of an illegitimate child is a shame, and no one wants it to be dug up and become a topic of conversation after dinner.

What's more, the past that you like must be extraordinary.

If we change our thinking and directly check the young man Ayi, we will probably find a lot of clues.

"Old Chen, I know you have some old friends under you, so I'll leave this matter to you." Huo Xingzhou trusted Old Chen very much. Old Chen was very sensible in his work, loyal to others, and had some connections in the underworld.

Seeing how serious he was, Old Chen did not dare to neglect him and said, "Young Master, leave this matter to me. I will investigate it thoroughly."

Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "Don't let anyone find out. Stop if you see anything unusual. Don't tell anyone about this, including Qiao Xi. I'm afraid there are some forces behind the scenes who are also paying attention to this person. You should pay more attention."

"Don't worry, Master! We are all trained in investigation. My old friends are also very strict with their words. They have long wanted to find an opportunity to work with you. When I told them that I have a monthly salary of NT$100,000 and lifetime insurance, they were all very jealous. This time, it's a good opportunity for them to join you."

Naturally, Lao Chen couldn't handle such a secret matter alone.

He still has to stay in Haicheng to protect the young master and the young mistress, so the credit of finding the person should be left to his old friends.

"Don't leak any information!"

"Understood, Master!"

Huo Xingzhou explained it again and again, and Old Chen naturally understood that this must be a very important matter, and perhaps it would have a very big impact.

Even Old Chen's expression was solemn.

Suddenly, there was the sound of light footsteps at the staircase. Old Chen quickly put his worries aside and saw that his young master's face was still calm.

When Qiao Xi walked downstairs, she saw Lao Chen and Huo Xingzhou standing opposite each other.

"Madam, I'll go get the car ready."

Lao Chen found an excuse and left.

Qiao Xi was a little surprised. She walked to Huo Xingzhou's side and looked up and asked, "Didn't you say last night that you would take a day off and not go to the company today? Why did Lao Chen prepare the car? Is he going out?"

"Xu Guangyao is in court today. Aren't you going?"

His eyes were dark, as deep as obsidian. Qiao Xi wanted to hold Huo Xingzhou's hand, but saw him walking towards the dining table.

Her hand reached out empty.

Qiao Xi didn't think much about it, thinking he didn't notice.

As she walked towards the restaurant, she said, "Aunt Qian is drying medical books. I heard that it was your order. You wanted me to move the medical books to the study so that you can read with you while you work."

She sat opposite Huo Xingzhou and looked at him with her sparkling almond eyes.

The man poured her a glass of milk and said, "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll have someone clean up the studio on the third floor, and you can read there."

"I'm not unwilling."

Qiao Xi took the glass and took a sip. "Of course I want to be with you all the time."

Huo Xingzhou's mouth curled up slightly. He looked at the large bunch of fresh blue eucalyptus flowers in front of the large French window and said casually, "When did you decorate your house with blue eucalyptus flowers?"

Speaking of blue gum flowers.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but purse her rosy lips: "It was the day you gave me flowers."

With a twinkle in her eyes, she said, "I resigned from the hospital and celebrated with my colleagues at Fuchun Garden. You were in the next room discussing business, and you asked the waiter to bring me here. Mr. Huo, don't you remember?"

The man lowered his eyes and said softly, "Remember."

He naturally remembered that he was discussing business with Zhong Yi that day.

I also remember that he never sent her any blue gums to celebrate her resignation.

I also remember the language of the blue gum flowers, which I thought represented her possession and confession of love for him.

But I didn't expect that someone had already taken the lead so long ago.

Zhong Yi is quite capable. She gave him a blue eucalyptus flower whose flower language means "I love you only and not anything else" right under his nose.

So there was a little action a long time ago.

Huo Xingzhou gritted his teeth, but the smile on his handsome face became more intense.

Qiao Xi asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Huo Xingzhou pursed his lips and said, "I am a little uncomfortable."

I feel uncomfortable.

It’s so congested!

He has been undermined for so long and he only discovered it now.

When Qiao Xi heard this, she panicked.

She quickly held Huo Xingzhou's left hand and took his pulse with a frown. She was most concerned about his health and became very anxious when she heard that he was not feeling well.
