Chapter 410 Your Mouth is Tougher Than Your Life
Huo Xingzhou looked at him calmly and said, "When you ask someone to do something for you, you have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, who will help you, Master Zhong?"
Zhong Yi tried hard to force a smile and said, "I'll give you another 3% discount on the Future City project. Is that enough?"
"Ten percent."
"Huo Xingzhou, you are crazy!"
The lion opened his mouth wide!
It's just Zhou Baopi.
Huo Xingzhou's mouth corners sank slightly, and he said slowly: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. But how long can Master Zhong hold on? We are doing business, and it is normal to take advantage of others' misfortunes."
"You businessmen have such dirty hearts!"
Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Deal."
Huo Xingzhou said quietly, "If this had been done earlier, he wouldn't have to suffer so much. Old Chen, bandage Young Master Zhong to stop the bleeding."
"Okay."
Old Chen began to search through the boxes and cabinets for hemostatic drugs, gauze and other things.
Fortunately, this is Cheng Han's house, and all these things are available. It didn't take long to find them all.
"Mr. Zhong, please bear with it."
Lao Chen walked up to Zhong Yi, tore open his clothes, and saw the wound on his right shoulder.
It turned out to be a gunshot wound.
"Mr. Zhong, the conditions here are limited, and my skills are not that good. I can only try my best to stop the bleeding. If the young lady is here, she can remove the bullet for you. Do you want to call her over?"
Old Chen smiles naively, but what he says is so infuriating.
Zhong Yi said coldly: "No need."
It's true that a dog follows his master. Why are all the people under Huo Xingzhou like this?
"Then I will stop the bleeding for you. When you are safe, you can find a place to have the surgery yourself."
"Um."
Zhong Yi responded while enduring the pain.
Huo Xingzhou sat next to him and asked, "Now, Master Zhong, can you tell me why you are here? Don't tell me that you fled from Haicheng to Yueliang Village."
Zhong Yi rolled his eyes.
Huo Xingzhou was destined not to let him go easily tonight.
Zhong Yi said with anger: "To pay respect to the deceased."
"What old friend?"
“He is an elder who is very kind to me.”
Zhong Yi's eyes were filled with red bloodshot.
He still remembered the old lady's love and tenderness for him. Whenever there was something delicious, Grandma Qiao would always give him some first. He had never received much warmth in his life, but he could only feel the warmth in Qiao's house.
That's why he took the risk to make this trip.
It was rare for him to come to Haicheng. If he returned to the imperial capital this time, it would be hard to say when he would come again.
"Who is that elder?" Huo Xingzhou continued to ask.
Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "Everyone has their own secrets. You don't have to test me anymore. There are some things I won't tell you even if you throw me out and kill me."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened. Such a tough talk reminded him of Qiao Xi.
It turns out that even the stubbornness in words is a common trait.
It really makes me angry.
Huo Xingzhou said in a bad tone: "Mr. Zhong, it seems that your mouth is harder than your life."
Zhong Yi chuckled twice. After being bullied by Huo Xingzhou all night, she finally got him angry for once.
"hiss!"
Zhong Yi cried out in pain.
Old Chen smiled innocently: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong. I'm a little too strong, you don't mind, right?"
Zhong Yi looked at him and shook her head, "Be careful."
Mr. Chen definitely did this on purpose!
Old Chen wrapped the gauze around the wound and said, "Master Zhong, the bleeding has stopped."
Zhong Yi reluctantly asked, "Can you pour me a glass of water?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and boil some water for you."
Lao Chen went to the kitchen to busy himself.
Huo Xingzhou looked at Zhong Yi and said, "Tell me what the pursuit is all about."
There is nothing else to say, there is nothing to hide.
Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Zhong Lingxiao wants to get rid of me. The Zhong family will announce the next heir at the end of the year, and the old lady's body can't hold on for much longer. As long as I die, the Zhong family will belong to Zhong Lingxiao."
Maybe God favors Zhong Yi, as Zhong Lingxiao just can't have a child.
"Have you exposed this village?"
"no."
Zhong Yi hissed in pain and said, "I met the people sent by Zhong Lingxiao on the national highway. I was not paying attention at the time and was ambushed. I drove away from them and abandoned the car and fled. They should intercept suspicious vehicles on the way back to the city. Zhong Lingxiao's hand can reach the transportation department."
He couldn't return to Haicheng alone, and would be killed by Zhong Lingxiao's men sooner or later.
He looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "You guys are going back tomorrow? Mr. Huo, I'll see you off to the west."
"What benefits can you give me?" Huo Xingzhou asked ruthlessly with cold eyes.
"Haven't I already given you a discount on the Future City project? Why are you still asking for more?"
"It was one thing just now, and now it's another thing."
Zhong Yi was so angry that she laughed: "Mr. Huo is worthy of being Mr. Huo, he is good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes."
"Mr. Zhong's life cannot be measured by money."
Huo Xingzhou was not very happy in his heart. It was really a pity to meet Zhong Yi when he returned to the village to worship.
Zhong Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you tell me."
"I want you to protect Qiao Xi as much as possible during the needle testing competition in the imperial capital, and don't let others tamper with the competition."
Zhong Yi's eyes flashed: "Okay."
Even if Huo Xingzhou didn't say it, he would do it.
Some things should be kept tacitly, but when Huo Xingzhou brought it up, it was like a deal, erasing his contribution. Zhong Yi was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about Huo Xingzhou.
"Mr. Huo, how are you going to take me back to Haicheng? Your wife would be scared if I suddenly showed up." Zhong Yi didn't want Qiao Xi to know that he had appeared in Moon Village.
Same.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to either.
There are some things they already know, but they just lack evidence.
Originally, Huo Xingzhou wanted to find evidence and then confess everything, but when he saw Zhong Yi like this, he knew that he was in danger.
There's no need to make those words clear.
They all had the same idea: they couldn't bring danger to Qiao Xi.
In the past few years, Zhong Lingxiao has come up with endless plans.
When Zhong Yi first returned to the Zhong family, he suffered a lot and almost died several times.
In the past one or two years, he and Zhong Lingxiao have been evenly matched.
This time, he was careless.
Huo Xingzhou did not say it directly, but said: "You stay here tonight, I will let Lao Chen remove your traces. Wait until tomorrow and listen to my arrangements, Qiao Xi will not find out."
"Okay, who made me rely on you now? But Zhong Lingxiao is very scheming, he will definitely find out the real reason why I left Haicheng."
Zhong Yi covered his shoulder, his face pale. His lips were white and dry, and he was in excruciating pain.
Huo Xingzhou stood up and said in a cold tone: "So when you return to Haicheng, clean up the rotten stall and don't let this village get in trouble. Otherwise... even if he doesn't clean you up, I won't let you go."
"knew."
"Stay here and don't die."
Huo Xingzhou left after he finished speaking.
Zhong Yi looked at his back, feeling very complicated.
He never thought that one day he would have to rely on his rival in love, but only Huo Xingzhou could take him back to Haicheng safely, and he would be safe once he met Wan Jiang and others.
After escaping for a whole night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He just had to get through tonight.
Lao Chen boiled some water and took out a set of clean clothes and handed them to Zhong Yi, saying, "Mr. Zhong, please change your clothes. The smell of blood is too strong."
"Thank you."
Old Chen chuckled and said, "You are so polite."
I hope that when Mr. Zhong returns to Haicheng tomorrow, he can still say "thank you".
