Chapter 654 The Man Who Avenged Huo Xingzhou

Qiao Xi murmured, "I've been feeling uneasy lately, but I comforted myself. Master Cheng used to go into the mountains to collect herbs, and he wouldn't come back for months. He's pretty good at surviving in the wild."

She looked at Huo Xingzhou with her almond-shaped eyes, as if she wanted to prove a good result: "You said that you sent everyone out to look for him. Is it possible that he was missed? Or maybe Master Cheng is not in the capital now. He may have returned to Haicheng or somewhere else. You must not have looked for him thoroughly."

Therefore, Master Cheng might not have been in trouble, it’s just that Huo Xingzhou’s people didn’t find him.

Huo Xingzhou said slowly: "Originally, I shouldn't have told you before the matter was resolved. But I didn't expect an accident to happen today. Now the news that I don't have a bodyguard by my side should have spread throughout the capital. Some people will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"Then let Lao Chen follow you first! Then withdraw some people and we will call the police!"

Qiao Xi's thoughts were in a mess, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Let's call the police and tell them that Grandpa Cheng is missing. Let's ask them to help, okay? So many people are targeting you, and Huo Beiting's family hasn't given up yet. We can't watch them revive, and you can't let anything happen to you again."

She doesn't want to go back to the old days.

Now it seems that we have everything, but our grandmother, who we depended on for everything, passed away.

Even Master Cheng’s whereabouts are unknown.

If something happened to Huo Xingzhou, she really didn't know what to do.

"Qiao Xi, we can't call the police now. We don't know what happened more than 20 years ago. We don't know how many enemies he has. If the news of his disappearance leaks out, it will bring him more danger. Do you understand?"

"Qiao Xi, calm down for a while. Things are not at their worst yet. Everything will be fine."

"good."

Qiao Xi said in a daze.

"Don't worry, I will definitely have people continue to look for him. And I will be more careful. There are still a group of hidden forces in Haicheng. I will ask them to help find Mr. Cheng. And I will transfer the bodyguards of the Huo family back, so you don't have to worry about my safety."

He was indeed negligent today.

Who could have imagined that a madman would do such a stupid thing? There must be someone instigating him.

Being used as a gun.

Qiao Xi looked at his pale face and said, "Who wants to harm you today?"

"The Qian family."

At first, Xu Yunye and Lu Yan were racing.

Qian Shao set up a gambling game in Devil's Canyon and lost 800 million to Qiao Xi in one night, which led to bankruptcy and he fled Beijing. Who could have thought that he could make a comeback and hurt people on the street with a sharp knife.

If Huo Xingzhou hadn't reacted quickly and kicked the knife away, the wound would have been much deeper.

I wouldn't be able to open my eyes and chat with Qiao Xi like I do now.

"It must be the Qian family who supplies the Lu family." Qiao Xi closed her eyes and said, "It's my fault. I was too aggressive at the time. He should come to me for revenge, why would he come to you!"

Huo Xingzhou looked at her angry expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Then he should come to me. If someone is destined to be hurt, then I will bear it. Eight hundred million is just the beginning. The most important thing is that I secretly made trouble and caused the Qian family to go bankrupt."

"So, he was not wrong to seek revenge on me."

Qiao Xi's heart was filled with thick balls of cotton.

She felt so suffocated that she couldn't breathe.

Huo Xingzhou reached out his hand, rubbed her head and said, "Don't be angry."

Qiao Xi lowered her head, her voice a little lost: "I feel like I'm useless. I can't help find Master Cheng, nor can I help you share the burden. Even Old Chen had to be sent to protect me, causing you to suffer such serious injuries."

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand, slowly wiped away the tears on her cheek with his fingertips and said, "How can you be useless? You saved my life, and you saved so many people, which is equivalent to saving many families."

"Qiao Xi, don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you are very useful. What you are doing now is laying the foundation for the future of traditional Chinese medicine. It is all meaningful."

"Um!"

Qiao Xi responded in a tearful voice.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Old Chen gently pushed the door open and came in and said, "Master, you're awake. I just called the police station to find out the situation. The murderer, Qian Shao, has been arrested. He confessed his actions and said he just wanted to kill you.

I heard that the Qian family's life became increasingly miserable after they moved out of the imperial capital. That young master Qian must have called the Lu family for help, but the Lu family did not lend a hand. So he did such an extreme thing."

I don’t know what Lu Jia said to him on the phone.

But with an old fox like Lu Bannong being so smart, he would definitely not leave any evidence behind.

He is so smart.

"I understand." Huo Xingzhou said lightly.

Lao Chen asked: "Should we continue investigating?"

Huo Xingzhou looked very indifferent: "No need, we won't find anything. Lu Bannong is very careful in his actions. If we want to bring down the Lu family, we can only start with Lu Yingxue. Lu Yingxue has been hit repeatedly, and her temperament is unstable, so it is easier for her to take action."

A woman was "betrayed" by her lover, disfigured, and suffered setbacks in her career.

At times like this, it's easier to find loopholes.

"OK."

"You go out first."

Qiao Xi said softly, "Then I'll go out first. I'll ask Xiaoyuan to cook some food and send it over. The food outside is not suitable for you, so we'll cook something lighter at home. Close your eyes and rest for a while, don't get too nervous."

She mainly wanted to ask Lao Chen about the specific situation.

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded. He was indeed a little sleepy due to losing too much blood.

Qiao Xi stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door gently and heading to a quiet spot in the corridor.

Old Chen followed her and said as he walked, "Madam, just call Xiaoyuan. You are tired today, you should rest inside."

"Old Chen, that young master Qian won't be released, right?"

"Well, he's just cannon fodder. Intentional injury should get him five or six years in prison, which is a pretty serious case."

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "No matter whether this matter is related to the Lu family or not, I will find a way to get Lu Yingxue's hair. Then you can go to a professional paternity identification agency for an identification. The only gap in the Lu family will be Lu Yingxue!"

"Okay, Madam. Do you want to tell the young master about this?"

Qiao Xi asked, "If I asked you not to say it, would you not say it?"

Old Chen smiled in a somewhat naive manner.

Of course, it must be said that the Young Master is his biggest employer.

Qiao Xi knew that she couldn't hide this from Huo Xingzhou, and she didn't want to hide it.

Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of a familiar woman slowly approaching from the corner opposite.

Her steps stopped immediately.

How could it be her?
