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 happen in the next one or two days.

"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 during this period of 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 people in the village are very enthusiastic."

"Yes, Madam. Look at the blue gum trees all over the hill. Maybe someone picked two 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 convinced by their words.

She didn't say much. She lit a stick of incense for Grandma Qiao and Ayi and talked to them for a while.

"Grandma, I will be going to the imperial capital soon. I hope that you can bless me to win the championship and let those who hurt you be punished."

"Aye, I told you I would go to a needle testing convention someday, and I did it."

She is slowly becoming who 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 the current Zhong Yi.

Temperament has undergone tremendous changes, and even the same person will give people different feelings.

Besides, a teenager’s appearance will change as he grows into an adult.

It's been so many years.

In Qiao Xi's heart, the dead are dead. How can they be alive? They don't exist in her cognition.

She trusted Cheng Han and Zhong Yi too much, and felt that these two people were the least likely to deceive her. She even trusted him more than him.

Huo Xingzhou felt a little jealous in his heart.

A warm little hand held him: "Let's go down the mountain."

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded and winked at Lao Chen.

Lao Chen understood what he meant and quickly left behind.

…

Night.

The village became completely quiet.

When the moon was at its zenith and the night dew was thick, there was some movement in the Qiao family's courtyard, and a strange sound came from somewhere. Qiao Xi was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the man beside her got up and walked out.

"Young Master."

Lao Chen whispered, "There was some movement in the yard next door, but I didn't dare to make a move."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with ink, "Let's go and take a look."

See which mouse is digging the hole.

Lao Chen walked in front, very alert.

Next door was Cheng Han's yard, where herbs were drying under the porch. The yard was cleaned very cleanly by the villagers, and there was a path paved with bluestone slabs leading directly to the small building.

Under the moonlight, there were dark red water marks on the bluestone slabs, but they were only a tiny bit and not very obvious.

But Lao Chen was very careful and discovered these anomalies.

He bent down and wiped it, carefully distinguishing it and said, "It's blood, warm. The person must have just run in not long ago. 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.

Lao Chen walked forward, breathing slowly. Suddenly, he kicked the front door open, causing the poor quality door to shake violently twice.

After entering the house, there was an unmistakable smell of blood.

The bloodstains on the ground became more and more obvious, and the drops of blood on the concrete floor accumulated more and more.

The blood kept spreading inside.

There are people in this house.

Old Chen followed the bloodstains to a wooden cabinet, and he and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other.

The people are inside!

Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly, and Lao 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 my face.

There was an unusual coldness and hostility on his delicate face; murderous intent flashed in his affectionate eyes for an instant, and when he saw clearly 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 felt dry and as if it had been rubbed by wind and sand. He ran for his life, and it took him an unknown amount of time to reach the village.

I originally wanted to hide in a familiar place and find some herbal medicine from Master Cheng to stop the bleeding.

But he didn't expect Huo Xingzhou's men to be so sharp and killed him by surprise.

But that's okay, at least it's not those who are 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 ran into 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 smiled faintly on his handsome face: "What a coincidence, I just happened to pass by here. Shouldn't you be in Haicheng? Passing by a village a few hundred 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 prosperous city center of Haicheng?"

"I accompanied my wife to pay respect to the deceased. I heard that today is his death anniversary." Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with intense mockery. He glanced at Zhong Yi and said, "It looks like it will really become his death anniversary."

Zhong Yi’s face turned pale and he wanted to curse loudly!

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 nonchalantly, "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 if you mess up this place like this. Old Chen, please show me around."

He wants to drive 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 spent 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 found him, Zhong Lingxiao's people 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, "Please come in, Mr. Zhong, 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 temper and coughed violently while holding 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 Master Zhong would ask for help? I don't think it'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 turned red and her breathing became unsteady.
