Chapter 840 Night Exploration

Zhong Yi looked at Huo Xingzhou who was standing there without moving, obviously not welcoming him.

He had something important to do today, so he asked, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "I thought you were just here to deliver something and would leave after that. After all, Young Master Zhong is very busy with all sorts of things, and the Zhong family is in a mess. Do you still have time to waste time here?"

"It's not a waste of time to come to the Huo family." Zhong Yi smiled fakely, "Boss Huo, I miss you so much."

"Oh."

Huo Xingzhou sneered sarcastically.

Qiao Xi knew that this would happen if they got together, so she said, "Let's talk inside. It's cold outside."

"Okay." Zhong Yi looked very obedient, and he listened to what Qiao Xi said.

He entered the villa earlier than Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou squeezed Qiao Xi's hand and said, "You haven't recovered yet, go upstairs and have a good rest. Zhong Yi must have important business to come here at this time."

"good."

Qiao Xi did not try to be brave; she forced herself to come out and see Cheng Han off.

I felt weak and was sweating.

The two walked into the living room, and Qiao Xi said softly, "I'll go up first."

"Can you do it yourself?"

"Okay, I won't joke about my body, just have a good chat and don't argue."

Qiao Xi nodded and greeted Zhong Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, then went upstairs.

Huo Xingzhou sat in the living room and poured a glass of water for Zhong Yi.

"If you don't want to drink water, I'll ask someone to prepare some drinks or wine?"

"Don't be so polite, just drink some water." Zhong Yi took a sip from the water cup, "The water in your house tastes better."

"Then you can pack a few tons to take with you when you leave."

Zhong Yi put down the water cup: "No need, I can drink it over if I want. Anyway, the villa is very close to you now."

"Wouldn't it be better to live closer to the Zhong family's old house?"

The two seemed to be just greeting each other and chatting, but the atmosphere was a little tense.

Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao squatted at the second floor staircase and peeked in. They felt a tense atmosphere. There was a hint of a gun in these few ordinary sentences.

Huo Sijiao was still a little embarrassed: "Shall we eavesdrop here?"

"What's wrong with that? If it's really confidential, they can go back to the study to discuss it. If we have first-hand information, we can tell Qiao Xi earlier."

"Yes, I'll tell my sister-in-law if I have any news."

The two adjusted their posture and squatted down stealthily again.

Huo Xingzhou downstairs asked directly, "What are you doing here today?"

Zhong Yi took out a jewelry box and said, "This is a gift for Qiao Xi, to congratulate her for finally getting what she wanted."

It was that familiar pearl jewelry box.

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "I know you sent someone to investigate my work at the auction house, so I won't hide it. This is my promise to Qiao Xi. I promised her that I would give her a pearl. Please pass it on."

Since you have bought something, it is better to give it away.

Huo Xingzhou didn't want him to give it to Qiao Xi, so he asked him to pass it on in another way.

Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes, raised his lips and said, "Promise?"

He picked up the jewelry box and opened it to reveal a large pearl. He sneered and said, "Such a large pearl can be ground into powder. Qiao Xi will definitely be very happy. After all, pearl powder is also a medicinal material that has the effects of reducing inflammation, stopping bleeding, detoxifying, and promoting tissue regeneration."

Zhong Yi's face turned colder: "You really know a lot."

"Maybe I am more talented, and Qiao Xi and I are a perfect match. You have been with Mr. Cheng for so many years, but it seems to be in vain. You haven't even learned some basic medical knowledge."

Huo Xingzhou started peeling the fruit while speaking.

His fingers were long and slender, and he looked very skillful holding the fruit knife. He was ready to cut the fruit and hand it over to Qiao Xi.

"Huo Xingzhou." Zhong Yi was a little angry, "I came here to talk to you about the Pei family."

"Well, I finally said it."

Huo Xingzhou peeled the apple perfectly, cut it into pieces, and placed it in a glass bowl. He looked a little careless, looking up at Zhong Yi from time to time, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

"The Pei family is preparing to transport a batch of goods at the Thirteen Bay Pier."

"The Pei family imports and exports a lot of goods every day. This is normal. The Thirteen Bays Pier belongs to the Pei family."

"Huo Xingzhou, there may be something wrong with that batch of goods. The Pei family is suspected of smuggling, and there are problems with the goods! If they can be caught directly, it is estimated that they will suffer a lot of losses."

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, "What's the point of looking for me?"

"Lend me some men."

Zhong Yi didn't have enough manpower around him, and he was having a hard time dealing with both sides.

"No."

"Just tell me what your conditions are."

Huo Xingzhou took another pear and cut it. "Get married soon."

Zhong Yi leaned back on the sofa, realizing that he was narrow-minded: "I am a non-marriageist."

"Oh? Zhou Yu once said so, and now he is begging Shu Xue to marry him."

Zhong Yi said stubbornly: "I am different from him."

He thought Huo Xingzhou was joking. How could that day ever come to pass?

Huo Xingzhou didn't argue with him for too long, but said, "I'll give you twenty people."

"Too little. You know I almost lost my life at the Thirteen Bay Pier."

"They are all elites who can fight ten enemies at once and can protect your life."

"Thank you very much."

Zhong Yi plans to visit the Thirteen Bays Pier tonight to see if there is any cat poop. He also wants to confirm the news given by Feng Nanxi.

In this world, only Qiao Xi is worthy of his 100% trust. They are friends with whom he has entrusted his life.

Huo Xingzhou kindly reminded: "Don't make trouble."

"I know. I just went to check for information. If this is true, I will definitely make a big fuss. I want to see what the Pei family will do. I am very happy to think that I can cause trouble for them."

The Thirteen Bays Pier is a very important source of income for the Pei family.

Once something goes wrong, it becomes interesting.

"I hope you succeed. Lao Chen, go and help Master Zhong to clear the number of people."

"Thank you. I'm leaving now."

Zhong Yi stood up and followed Lao Chen out. The Huo family's personnel would naturally not be exposed to the public, and only Huo Xingzhou and Lao Chen could mobilize them.

Zhong Yi took twenty people from Lao Chen and left.

Lao Chen returned to the living room to reply.

Huo Xingzhou was still cutting fruit and said, "Send some more people to keep an eye on him and see what he did tonight. His source of information is a bit strange. The Pei family is very cautious. How could such a big news be known by outsiders?"

"yes."

…

The night is dark.

There is no moon tonight, not even the stars are out. The prosperity and bustle of the imperial capital is never affected by the weather.

The Thirteen Bays Pier was brightly lit, with the port handling millions of tons of cargo.

There are hundreds of cars parked in the parking lot not far from the pier.

There were people walking around from time to time, and it was no different from usual.
