Chapter 115
"When the young marshal was young, he learned some of the lowly skills that people considered beneath him. For this, he was often whipped and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall by the marshal."
You Yuan and Wen Xin continued chatting about Huo Jingzhou, highlighting the young marshal's pursuit of his wife.
"There's no such thing as a high or low level of ability. As long as it's useful, that's good enough. The young marshal is so young, yet he has managed to govern the Nanjiang area so well. Isn't that because he has seen and experienced a lot, has a broad vision, and knows what the people below need most?"
Wen Xin frowned slightly, strongly disagreeing with the world's perception of hierarchy, and vehemently affirmed Huo Jingzhou.
You Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the young marshal liked Miss Wen so much.
She was indeed an excellent girl, gentle, kind, and well-educated. Born in a beautiful place, she had a clear and tolerant heart.
A young girl is like clear flowing water, nourishing things silently, making people fall into her charm again and again, and never able to leave.
The young marshal, who had fought in bloody and cruel wars for many years, needed this kind of quiet and silent tolerance the most.
You Yuan only hoped that Wen Xin and the young marshal could get together smoothly.
Otherwise... water can encompass everything, but it can also destroy everything.
Therefore, we still need to get rid of the Second Young Master as a stumbling block first.
These past few days, they've added fuel to the fire and made it burn brightly, haven't they?
It seems likely that Huo Jingfeng will take action soon, either today or tomorrow.
After all, they had already relayed the news that Miss Wen would be arriving in Haicheng in the next couple of days to Huo Jingfeng.
Huo Jingfeng must be extremely anxious.
In particular, they deliberately misled Huo Jingfeng into thinking that the young marshal Huo believed it was necessary for the Wen and Huo families to form a marriage alliance, and that he would protect Miss Wen as a junior. Therefore, he personally took her to Haicheng.
In Huo Jingfeng's view, Wen Xin was definitely going to come to the Huo family and cling to him.
How could a cultured and progressive young man marry a woman with feudalistic and outdated ideas?
However, Huo Jingfeng still dared to cause trouble for his biological father, Huo Dashuai, since his biological father would never actually beat his own son to death.
But in front of his older brother Huo Jingzhou, Huo Jingfeng always kept a low profile.
It wasn't just because Huo Jingzhou wielded great power, but also because of his ruthless methods and his indifference to family ties.
If you really provoke this cold-blooded devil, Huo Jingzhou won't care if he's his own brother or not; he'll just pick up a gun and shoot.
A few years ago, Huo Jingzhou’s younger sister, their aunt, tried to manipulate his marriage, forcing him to marry a woman from a cousin’s family on her husband’s side, and even used some underhanded methods.
Huo Jingzhou disregarded any sense of family ties and simply threw the naked woman hiding on his bed out.
Turning around, it was discovered that my uncle's family was involved in the drug business and tomb raiding. The whole family was sent to jail, and even my aunt was not spared.
General Huo pleaded with his son for this, but was rebuffed and dared not interfere with his reckless younger sister anymore.
So, how much guts does Huo Jingfeng have to openly oppose Huo Jingzhou?
If Huo Jingzhou really sides with Wen Xin and wants him to marry her, Huo Jingfeng will have absolutely no way to resist.
Therefore, Huo Jingfeng only has one option left: to quickly resolve the engagement between Huo Jingzhou and Wen Xin before Huo Jingzhou takes them back to Haicheng to "force" them into marriage.
Well, let's get back to the banquet.
You Yuan subtly cultivated goodwill for his young commander in front of Wen Xin.
When Wen Xin asked Huo Shaoshuai if he frequented the nightclubs he owned, she wondered if that was why he was so good at ballroom dancing.
You Yuan quickly waved his hand: "The young marshal is the behind-the-scenes boss. The dance hall is managed by trusted subordinates. Miss Wen, don't worry. The young marshal has never danced with any other woman. No woman has ever been able to get close to the young marshal before."
Wen Xin was stunned. She didn't understand why Huo Shaoshuai was not close to other women. What was she worried about?
She wanted to explain something, but her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she couldn't help but think of the times he had hugged her before.
Wen Xin quickly lowered her head to drink her juice, trying to hide her strange emotions. What was she thinking?
The dance floor suddenly became noisy!
Amidst the flashing, multicolored lights, a woman with a stunning figure was dancing energetically.
She was dressed very scantily, alluring like a beautiful serpent, with a stunningly beautiful face and captivating charm. She was the kind of enchantress who could easily arouse a man's surging lust.
At the banquet, many men couldn't help but stare at her, and there were constant cheers and jeers.
But not every man is easily controlled by desire.
You Yuan frowned deeply. Who orchestrated this welcoming banquet for the young marshal? Did they have a death wish?
Who doesn't know that the young marshal dislikes scenes of power and sex? Besides, Miss Wen is right here!
You Yuan could easily imagine how cold the young marshal's face must be at that moment.
However, he didn't expect that some idiots would be so determined to die that they couldn't be stopped.
A middle-aged man with a protruding belly, pretending to be elegant but actually lewd and offensive, walked into the dance floor and led the hot woman toward Huo Jingzhou.
You Yuan: "..."
Wen Xin seemed a little taken aback, staring blankly at the scene.
"Miss Wen, the young marshal..."
You Yuan wanted to explain to his young commander, but before he could finish speaking, the girl suddenly stood up and ran straight towards him.
You Yuan hurriedly chased after her. If Wen Xin fell or was bumped into, it wouldn't just be that big-bellied idiot who would suffer tonight!
Huo Jingzhou sat on a single sofa not far above the dance floor, with the two highest-ranking people in Yucheng sitting below him as if they were subordinates.
At this moment, the pot-bellied man led the beautiful woman over to offer a surprise.
The beauty kept giving the aloof and handsome Marshal Huo flirtatious glances, twisting her waist as she tried to sit in his lap.
Huo Jingzhou sat there indifferently, without any reaction, as if he were just an ordinary man who appeared serious on the surface but was actually unable to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.
This left the officials in Yucheng terrified and unsure of how to react.
"Young Marshal!"
As the girl's worried voice rang out, the beauty was about to throw herself into Huo Jingzhou's arms when a cold, murderous intent flashed across his eyes!
Bang!
The piercing gunshot shattered the festive atmosphere of the banquet.
The entire club fell eerily silent!
The bullet grazed the woman's waist and shattered a wine glass on the table.
The stunning beauty fell to the ground, one hand clutching her bleeding waist, while the other hand held a sharp blade between its fingers.
What was thought to be a seductive embrace turned out to be a deadly murder!
