Chapter 866: Beat the Dog When It’s Down

As Zhong Yi walked in, the guests also became a little puzzled.

Where is Pei Zheng?

Why did he disappear suddenly? Is there something urgent?

The Thirteen Bay Pier is not an auspicious place.

A fire had just occurred not long ago, and I heard that a murder had almost occurred before.

That’s right!

Just now, the eldest daughter of the Huo family fell into the water. Wasn't this an accident? There were so many people on the cruise ship, and no one knew who had sneaked in.

Suddenly everyone is in danger!

A lot of discussion!

Mrs. Pei panicked when she heard those discussions. Pei Zheng was the only son she could rely on, and nothing could happen to him!

"Go find Ah Zheng!"

"Go and look for him! You must find him!"

Zhao Yaru was unable to stop him. She pulled the panicked Madam Pei aside and said, "Mother-in-law, the security of our cruise ship is first-class. A Zheng will definitely be fine. You don't need to send anyone to look for him. Maybe he has something important to do. Don't let anyone delay him."

Madam Pei pulled her hand away and sneered, "You don't feel bad for him because he's not your son. You've only given birth to two daughters for A Zheng in all these years, and you've been trying to resist having a third child. Your heart isn't with A Zheng at all!"

She had always looked down on Zhao Yaru, and now she was even more outspoken. In addition, Zhao Yaru's sister Zhao Zhenmei moved into their Pei family, which made Mrs. Pei even more disgusted.

He didn't chase the demon away just because he was afraid of interrupting his son's work.

"Mother-in-law!"

"Everyone go find Ah Zheng! We must find him back!"

Mrs. Pei's move was simply a stroke of genius.

Zhong Yi lowered her head and smiled silently.

It seemed as if God was on his side tonight and everything went so smoothly.

He couldn't help but point everyone in the direction: "Mrs. Pei just talked about something else and didn't let anyone go to Zhong Lingxiao's lounge. Why don't we go there first?"

"no!"

Zhao Yaru refused without hesitation!

"Why not?"

"Because... because..." Zhao Yaru couldn't find a suitable reason.

The more Mrs. Pei looked at her, the more she disliked her. She said, "Get out of the way! I want to see what you, this unfilial daughter-in-law, are hiding from me!"

"Mother-in-law..."

Zhao Yaru really had no choice.

Pei Qian held her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, don't go against mom. Since it's not a big deal, just go and take a look."

He also wants to see the excitement.

Feng Nanxi, who was wearing a haute couture dress beside him, smiled innocently, and couldn't help but feel schadenfreude in her heart. His afterglow met Zhong Yi's eyes, and they separated immediately.

The fun is about to begin!

So exciting!

It’s not as fun abroad as at home. There are countless fancy things going on at a banquet.

Feng Nanxi didn't think this was her engagement party at all, she just wanted to see more gossip. She probably guessed Zhong Yi's plan, and at this moment she was excited and couldn't help wanting to see Pei Zheng's jokes.

Humph, let him insist on arranging the marriage between the two families.

The guests went up the spiral staircase in a stream.

Zhong Lingxiao fell behind a step and looked at Zhong Yi with a questioning look in his eyes: "You have been on the cruise ship tonight?"

This matter is full of weirdness.

Originally, he thought that Zhao Yaru was holding him back in order to hide a secret.

But even Zhong Yi is pushing for this, which seems a little unusual.

There must be a problem.

"Of course I'm on the cruise ship. Where else can I go? Do you think I can go to the Imperial Capital Hospital to see the old lady?"

Zhong Yi's tone was mocking, causing Zhong Lingxiao to narrow his eyes.

Meet the old lady alone?

The old man has not woken up yet, what's the point of seeing him? The more Zhong Yi said this, the less doubt Zhong Lingxiao had. After all, the bodyguards he had placed in the hospital had not passed on any news.

How could he know that Zhong Yi forced his way in and the bodyguards were temporarily under control.

Sooner or later he will find out that Zhong Yi went to the hospital tonight.

Zhong Yi didn't want to keep it a secret, so he said it in such a teasing tone. When Zhong Lingxiao knew about it, he would be even angrier when thinking about what he said.

Zhong Lingxiao walked towards the stairs with a sullen face. He also wanted to know what was in the lounge.

He was not unaware of the Pei family's ambitions.

He and Pei Zheng cooperated for their own benefit, but his ally was ambitious and wanted to replace the Zhong family. Zhong Lingxiao was also arrogant and confident that he could suppress Pei Zheng's plan.

Zhong Yi turned around and glanced at Qiao Xi, his tone much softer: "Let's go and see what's going on. Maybe we can get some justice for Miss Huo."

As for Huo Xingzhou, he didn't even glance at him.

Wan Jiang followed him and left with a laptop in his arms, feeling a little guilty.

Seeing this double standard, Qiao Xi smiled. She hooked her fingers tightly around Huo Xingzhou's, "Let's go. I also want to see what kind of medicine you and Ayi are selling."

Almost everyone went to the lounge on the second floor.

The noise outside also disturbed Huo Sijiao, and she begged Xie Xubai to take her out.

As soon as the room was opened, the noise outside became more obvious.

The corridor, which was apparently quite spacious, was squeezed by a large number of guests, leaving no room for them to stand.

She noticed Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou who were at the back. "Sister-in-law, brother. What happened?"

Qiao Xi told the truth: "I don't know what it was exactly, but I think it was gossip."

"Then I'll go too!"

Huo Sijiao was distracted by the gossip, and she didn't care about her injured foot, and limped out. Fortunately, Xie Xubai quickly supported her, otherwise she would definitely fall.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you."

"Uh-huh!"

In short, any gossip that appeared at the Pei family's engagement party must be extraordinary.

It must be some scandal of the Pei family that attracted so many people to watch. Huo Sijiao hated the Pei family so much that she was eager to watch their jokes.

Didn’t you see that the people in front of those dark heads are members of the Pei family?

She was a little anxious and wanted to squeeze to the front.

Huo Xingzhou and Xie Xubai protected the two women beside them, not wanting them to be bumped by other guests.

Xie Xubai lowered his voice and asked, "Will the incident of the cruise ship falling into the water be settled together?"

He could see that Master Zhong was among the people stirring up trouble, and his assistant was holding a laptop. Thinking of the information he had accidentally obtained from Huo Xingzhou before, he knew that Fei Luan, the top hacker in the world, was the person he liked.

Huo Xingzhou twitched his lips and said sarcastically, "Since you've brought everything here, you naturally want to give the fallen dog a beating."

He confirmed this matter only after he met Zhong Yi.

Xie Xubai is quite smart.

As the crowd approached Zhong Lingxiao's lounge, the noise became quieter.

Many people even slowed down their footsteps.

Zhong Lingxiao showed some impatience on his face, but when Zhong Yi stared at him, he suspected that there was something unfavorable to him.

Zhong Yike never does anything in vain.

For a moment, my mind calmed down a lot, and I retreated a little when looking at the closed door.
