Grandpa Guo swallowed a mouthful with difficulty, but still felt he couldn't digest it all.
It takes time to adjust when a belief that has been held for decades suddenly collapses.
Compared to Grandpa Guo's difficulty adapting, Grandma Wen was clearly adapting well, even enthusiastic. "Qiqi, are you going to help that young man find his mask next?"
"Yes, Grandma Wen, are you coming with us? Running around might be a bit tiring!" Qiqi said considerately. "Why don't you, Grandpa, and Grandma go back and rest first? Brother Huo and Brother Xiao Jiu can stay with me."
Actually, it would be more convenient for her to be alone, but there's a high probability they won't let her be alone.
Grandma Wen's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at her, "I'm not tired at all. Anyway, I'll just be idle at home, so I might as well go for a walk with you and get some exercise."
Qiqi: ……
Grandma Wen, you just wanted to join in the fun, didn't you?
To everyone's surprise, Grandpa Guo chimed in, "Yes, let's go together. We're worried about you kids."
Huo Yuwei: ...
he?
child?
I have a question for you!
Have you ever seen a child who is almost thirty years old?
Well, they're all elders, so I won't expose their childish desire to see the excitement.
"Qiqi, where are we going?" Grandma Huo asked.
Just saying you want to find something doesn't mean you need a definite direction; you can't just blindly wander around like a headless fly.
Qiqi quickly calculated with her fingers and pointed southeast, "Southeast direction, about a 20-minute drive."
Huo Yuwei opened the map, zoomed in as Qiqi had instructed, and pointed to a location: "Zhongnan Group."
“Zhongnan Group?” Huo Yusen’s eyes flickered slightly. “If I remember correctly, it’s owned by my uncle.”
"Yes, it's a property under your uncle's name!" Grandma Huo's expression also turned slightly unpleasant.
As far as he knew, Zhongnan Group claimed to be a company that organized cultural and artistic exhibitions, but now it was involved in tomb raiding.
"You guys take Qiqi and set off first, I'm going to make a phone call."
"good."
The company's affairs are now being managed by Madam Huo.
The Huo brothers didn't care who she was going to call, and took Qiqi into the car first.
Soon, Madam Huo finished her phone call and got into the same car as Mr. Guo and the others.
Soon, the group arrived at Zhongnan Group. Qiqi casually wiped the red rope, creating a crack for the male ghost so that he could see what was happening outside.
The male ghost stared blankly at the towering buildings, the huge, bright logos, and the bustling traffic outside.
"I never imagined the outside world had changed so much!" The male ghost's eyes reddened, especially when he saw the cars speeding by. "If we had had such fast vehicles back then, so many warplanes wouldn't have been delayed, and so many soldiers wouldn't have died needlessly on the frontier."
How wonderful it would be if they could have been born into this world!
Thinking of these things, a sense of desolation suddenly welled up from him.
Qiqi could understand his feelings. Back when she was in the cultivation world, she had also witnessed many battles between mortals in mid-air.
Even now, the memory of that horrific scene still weighs heavily on her mind.
Qiqi patted his newly emerged head reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay. Those who sacrificed themselves back then have already been reincarnated and might already be enjoying the benefits of this era. After you fulfill your wish, you'll be reincarnated and have a very happy life."
He had a dignified appearance, clear eyes, and a golden aura of merit on his body; he was a very good person in his lifetime.
He met a tragic end and died young because he trusted the wrong people.
If he is reborn as a human, he will be born into a harmonious and happy family. Although he may not be very wealthy, he will have no worries about food and clothing and will live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Um..." The male ghost blushed a little at being comforted by a child, tilting his head shyly, his voice a bit awkward, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Shao Feng. Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Qiqi."
"Thank you, Qiqi. If you can help me find my mask, I, Shao Feng, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. If I have the chance in the next life, I will repay you tenfold!" Shao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute, exuding the aura of a chivalrous martial artist.
Qiqi: "Don't worry, if I say I'll help you find it, I definitely will."
The group entered the Zhongnan Group building.
Huo Yuwei stepped forward to the front desk and said, "I am Huo Yuwei, and I am looking for your president, Huo Lin."
Those who work at Zhongnan Group know that the company is backed by the Huo family, one of the four great families in the capital, and naturally have a basic understanding of the Huo family's situation.
Upon hearing Huo Yuwei's name, the receptionist immediately called Huo Lin's office. After receiving approval, she was about to let him in, but when she saw that there were several elderly people and two children with him, she stopped him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Huo, who are these people...?"
"You work for the Huo family's company, and you don't even know who's in charge of the Huo Group now?" Huo Yuwei's face darkened.
The receptionist had only thought that Madam Huo looked familiar, but upon hearing this, she immediately realized that this was the matriarch of the Huo family, the current true head of the Huo Group.
The receptionist was startled and immediately apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry, Chairman, I'll press the elevator button for you right away."
After saying that, he jogged to the elevator and swiped his work card for them to use in the elevator.
Holding the elevator door open with one hand, he respectfully invited them in, explaining, "Chairman, President Huo is in a meeting and may not finish for a while. We'll have to trouble you to wait in the meeting room for a bit."
The receptionist respectfully led them to the floor where Hollin was located, settled them in the meeting room, and served them tea and snacks along with the reception staff from the CEO class before closing the door and leaving.
"Qiqi, my mask seems to be right here, I can smell it!" As soon as the door closed, Shao Feng popped out from Qiqi's red string.
Qiqi raised her wrist, looking at him with some curiosity, "Wow, Brother Shaofeng, does your mask still smell? I can still smell it!"
"Yes, my mask was made using a secret method from the Western Regions. At the time, my face was ulcerated and smelled terrible. That mask was... specially made for me. It emitted a unique fragrance and could effectively cover up the smell on my face."
Qiqi's eyes darted around. "Did the person who gave you the mask say that to you?"
"Hmm." Shao Feng nodded, noticing that the little girl's expression was off and her eyes seemed filled with pity as she looked at him. He belatedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the mask?"
Qiqi didn't answer, but changed the subject, "Since you can smell it, why don't you go look for it and see where the mask is? We can ask him for it later!"
"Are you really willing to let me go out and search? Aren't you afraid I'll scare people?"
