Chapter 619: I want to see him alive or dead
"Hello."
Huo Xingzhou walked to the window and answered the phone.
Listening to the report from the other end, his expression gradually became cold and his eyes were full of gloom.
"Are you sure?" His voice was soft, but one could feel the intense chill in it.
"Okay, I got it. I will send out all the people I can mobilize now. I must check every inch of the place thoroughly. No trace can be left out. I must find the person alive or dead."
Huo Xingzhou said in a deep voice, "You must give me a result within this month."
After saying these words, he hung up the phone with a frown on his face.
After a long silence, he let out a deep breath.
Now, things are serious.
He slowly turned his head and looked towards the door. If Qiao Xi knew...
Don't let her know for now, and hope for a good outcome.
…
First floor of villa.
Qiao Xi walked down the stairs and saw Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao huddled together in the living room discussing something, so she called out to them.
Huo Sijiao quickly raised her head and shouted, "Sister-in-law, we were just about to call you. Sun Weimeng and I are choosing a date to open the beauty salon, so we brought a calendar. I heard that you have learned a lot from Mr. Cheng, so come and help us pick a date."
“Oh, here it comes.”
Qiao Xi walked to Huo Sijiao's side, and a faint sandalwood scent wafted over.
This sandalwood scent is unique and familiar.
Sun Wei suddenly raised his head, glanced at Qiao Xi teasingly, and pointed at Huo Sijiao. His eyes were full of ambiguous hints.
Huo Sijiao went to see Xie Xubai.
They have been seeing each other quite frequently lately.
"Sister-in-law, please sit next to me and look at the dates we have chosen. It would be best if we could open the shop as soon as possible. The decoration is ready. We only need to replace some equipment. I have also recruited a group of top-notch beauticians from Haicheng, and they are already in place."
Her eyes lit up when she talked about the beauty salon.
Qiao Xi sat beside her and looked at the days she had chosen, pointing to number 12, three days later.
"It's a good day, everything goes well."
Huo Sijiao clapped her hands and said, "Okay, then the opening ceremony will be held on the 12th, three days from now. Sun Weimeng, you go contact Xianhua first, and I'll notify all the employees, as well as the famous ladies and daughters of the imperial capital. Lu Yingxue has taken over all the beauty salons on that street, leaving only Yingyue Pavilion as the only one left. We have to work harder!"
Huo Sijiao did it on purpose.
When she chose the address of the beauty salon, she specifically picked Furong, which was opposite Yingyue Pavilion, and she didn't even want to change the name.
She can't stand Lu Yingxue!
After she assigned the tasks, she ran to the back garden with her mobile phone to make a phone call. From the living room, she could hear her chattering with clients. Sun Weimeng pouted and said, "You just like to order people around. I'm the boss, why did you let me do such a job as ordering flowers?"
He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his younger brother, giving him instructions.
After transferring another few hundred thousand dollars, it was done.
"Qiao Xi, let me tell you. When she came back, her face was full of peach blossoms. She must have gone on a date with Xie Xubai." Sun Weimeng's nose was very sharp and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Huo Sijiao.
Qiao Xi held the almanac and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"
"Xie Xubai sent her back last night. I don't know what they did in the back. Her face was red when she got off the car. This morning, she went to Master Yilin's design studio and picked up a suit. I specifically asked the salesperson to confirm that it was a men's suit."
It looks like these two are going to be together.
Qiao Xi, however, is more convinced that Huo Sijiao likes Shen Xuanzhi. "I think there is a misunderstanding. Jiaojiao's love for someone is very obvious. She can't hide things. It's not clear that she likes Xie Xubai at all."
"Then let's make a bet. I think with Shen Xuanzhi's temper, Huo Sijiao will be pissed off to death sooner or later. In a rage, she will turn to Xie Xubai's arms."
Sun Weimeng is addicted to gambling.
I want to bet with others every day.
Qiao Xi looked at him and decisively refused: "No bet."
Sun Weimeng said it was boring.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "You should go and order flowers right away."
"oh."
…
evening.
Xie Mansion.
Xie Xubai returned home in the evening and saw Shen Xuanzhi giving acupuncture to Old Madam Xie.
"Xubai is back. Come and sit down."
Madam Xie waved her hand, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Xie Xubai handed the documents and bag in his hand to Ning Yuan who was beside him, sat down next to the old lady, and called out, "Grandma."
Old Madam Xie snorted coldly at first, and did not avoid Shen Xuanzhi when speaking.
"Xuanbai, I warned you. If you don't find a girlfriend before the end of the year, I will really go to the Pei family to propose marriage."
Xie Xubai helplessly replied to the old lady: "I know."
The old lady kept her word.
Even though he was being timid and looked down on Pei Chun, he still went to propose marriage.
Mrs. Xie was not satisfied with his response and could not help but said loudly, "Xie Xubai, don't take it lightly! I allowed you to fall in love freely and indulged you again and again! Let me ask you, how is the progress between you and Miss Huo?"
"Miss Huo and I..."
Xie Xubai spoke slowly, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Shen Xuanzhi pause. He continued, "Ms. Huo and I are just ordinary friends. I explained it clearly last time. Grandmother, you are not doing good to her reputation by saying this."
"Since you said so, I think Miss Huo is also very likable. In this case..." Madam Xie turned around and saw Shen Xuanzhi and said, "I will introduce Miss Huo to Doctor Shen. It just so happens that they are both from Haicheng."
When Shen Xuanzhi was called, his back stiffened.
But Madam Xie seemed to want to provoke Xie Xubai and asked, "Doctor Shen, do you have a girlfriend?"
Shen Xuanzhi pursed his lips tightly, holding a long and thin needle in his hand.
Xie Xubai knew that he had something to hide, so he spoke up to help: "Grandma, this is Doctor Shen's private matter. Don't ask around. He's here to treat you."
Shen Xuanzhi said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I don't need it for the time being."
His palms seemed to be steaming, and his heart couldn't help beating fast whenever he heard the name Huo Sijiao.
But he has an appointment with the Guan family.
Even if it is fake, what outsiders see is real.
Old Madam Xie smacked her lips, feeling a little regretful. Her shrewd eyes, like searchlights, stared at Ning Yuan who was standing next to Xie Xubai.
"Xiaoyuan, can I introduce you to someone? You must have met Jiaojiao. Is she likable?"
Ning Yuan quickly shook her head: "Madam, how can I be worthy of Miss Huo? Besides, she is still young and not in a hurry to get married, unlike our President Xie who is already thirty years old."
Mrs. Xie said sarcastically, "Yes, some people are already thirty years old and don't even think about finding a partner."
Ning Yuan faced Xie Xubai's threatening gaze, waved the thing in his hand and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry. Look at what this is."
