Chapter 412: Master Zhong is popular with women

Lao 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 half asleep and heard it wrong?

I felt like the sound was 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 problems could possibly 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.

Usually, drunk driving checks are conducted at night, and rarely during the day. At this time, and in this place where there are not many cars, a drunk driving check made Lao Chen feel sick.

This is not a drunk driving check, this is a check on people.

It's just a matter of finding an excuse to stop the car and give an explanation to the superiors, and there will be no punishment.

He saw that the trunks of several cars in front of him had been turned over, and the car owners did not say anything, but just passed the checkpoint as quickly as possible and left.

Lao Chen braked and moved forward slowly.

Finally arrived at the checkpoint.

The uniformed men came over with the alcohol tester. They pointed the tester at Lao Chen and said, "Blow into it."

He then looked around the car carefully, walked around the back and tried to open the trunk.

Only the trunk was locked.

Qiao Xi frowned, feeling very strange. It was fine if they were only 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.

The price of this Lincoln Navigator is not particularly expensive, and many people can afford it. The Huo family does not usually drive it. The license plate number is not very conspicuous, so these minions naturally did not recognize it.

Lao Chen said with a frown, "You can't open the trunk. There are free-range chickens in the back that were given to me by my fellow villagers. They are very good at jumping around, and they will run away as soon as the trunk is opened."

The little rooster even crowed at the right time.

“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”

Those people insisted: "Open the trunk, we want to take a look. Don't talk nonsense, this is the mission assigned to us by the higher-ups."

"Top? Which top?"

Old Chen laughed and said, "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 when checking for drunk driving. Isn't it enough that I didn't drink? You guys are really good!"

Lao Chen took out his cell phone and was about to make a call.

Those people looked at each other in bewilderment. "What Mr. Huo?"

"There are several Mr. Huo in Haicheng, and they are naturally Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group." Old Chen said very impolitely, "This is the first time I have met someone who dares to block Mr. Huo's car. Let me look through the address book and see what the captain of your traffic police brigade says."

Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group?

They took a closer look behind them.

The half-open car window revealed the man's cold and handsome face. His eyebrows were gloomy, with an unbreakable coldness.

One of them took out his mobile phone, pointed at the picture he found online and said, "Look, it's really Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group. He's a member of the Huo family, we..."

"It's really him, what should I do?"

"We took money privately to do the work. If this gets reported to the higher-ups, we might get suspended."

They were all scared.

They whispered for a while, then said flatteringly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. We are following the rules and we are really sorry for offending you. We will let you go now!"

"Boss Huo, please take care."

They decided to send the giant Buddha away as soon as possible to avoid any trouble.

But it is hard to tell which richest man in Haicheng would come to this rural area and bring back local chickens to the city.

Old Chen snorted coldly: "It should have been better earlier! I'm being polite to you, but you really think you're a dish!"

He stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

In the rearview mirror, those people were still checking the vehicles behind.

“These people are so idle!”

Huo Xingzhou said in a deep voice: "Old Chen, call the traffic police team later and report what happened today."

"Okay, 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 weird.

"It's okay, some people just want to take advantage of it." 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 against 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 are not made of iron, how can you not be tired? When we get home later, you can take a nap first."

Huo Xingzhou chuckled: "Don't you know best whether I am made of steel? It's not like I haven't indulged myself in the past. Not getting a good night's rest won't cause any trouble."

This statement is a bit ambiguous.

Qiao Xi's cheeks blushed.

Someone in the trunk gnashed his teeth.

She glanced at Lao Chen, who was concentrating on driving, and then changed the subject, saying, "Last time you talked about the Zhong family's secrets, but you stopped halfway through. Can you tell me now? I'm really curious."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with sparkling light, and he said, "Now, I guess I can tell you."

Everyone in the car pricked up their ears, and even the black little rooster stopped calling.

"Then tell me, what kind of rumor is so mysterious? Or did you find it out by accident? Is it true that no one else knows about it?"

"I found out when I occasionally sent people to investigate."

Huo Xingzhou spoke in a low voice, "This secret has not been confirmed, it 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 just hoped that he would give birth to a son to be adopted by Zhong Lingxiao."

"And then?"

"Some people say that he was supposed to have a child with Zhong Lingxiao's wife Zhao Shuyuan. This was his father Zhong Hongfei's idea, but the old lady of the Zhong family discovered 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 has not been confirmed. I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Zhong in person whether it is true or not."

Qiao Xi sighed: "This Master Zhong is really patient and tolerant, but he also has many beautiful women. Xiang Mingzhu seems to like him very much, and even the rumored Lu Yingxue, who is so arrogant, is actually his fiancée."

Great!

Huo Xingzhou laughed, glanced at the trunk filled with "local specialties" and said, "Perhaps, Master Zhong is very popular with women."

fart!

fart!

What kind of rumor is this!

Master Zhong hid in the trunk, angry as a bomb!

The scoundrel Huo Xingzhou actually ruined his reputation in front of Qiao Xi! But he dared not say anything despite being angry!

ah!

It's so infuriating!

He gritted his teeth, his delicate eyebrows and eyes showing a layer of depression.

Don't wait for him to find an opportunity to strike back.
