"The Fan family in the imperial capital," Baili Xiyao interrupted Xiao Rui before he could say the name.
"Yes, the Fan family has been gradually fading from the upper echelons of the imperial capital in recent years. However, according to Xiao Er's previous investigation, the Fan family's current hidden financial strength is almost at the top of the heap. In addition, the mission that President Mo and his team carried out previously also involved Fan Qi, the head of the Fan family. So, the Fan family may have hooked up with a family in Country M, and the two sides have reached some kind of agreement."
"Find out all the secret actions of the Fan family in the past few years. If Xiao Er is too busy, let Xiao Yi investigate. If it is really the Fan family who secretly interfered this time, then the Fan family will no longer have a foothold in the imperial capital."
"Yes," Xiao Rui responded and picked up his phone to contact Xiao Yi and Xiao Er to make arrangements.
With no one else around, Baili Xiyao turned his attention back to He Mozhao in the intensive care unit.
He Mozhao, I will not let go of any of those who have hurt you...
I will repay those who have hurt you a thousandfold...
You just have to promise me.
Wake up, live well, live happily.
Ding-ling-ling...
The sudden ringing of the cell phone made Baili Xiyao's heart tighten, and he almost mistook it for the alarm of the electrocardiogram.
Baili Xiyao looked up at the electrocardiogram and confirmed that everything was normal before taking out his phone. Seeing that it was He Yishuang calling, he quickly swiped the answer button, put the phone to his ear, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Found it?"
"We only found Zhen Qi. Let me know the details at home."
"Home?"
"Well, there are some things in the bureau that are inconvenient to ask."
Baili Xiyao lowered his eyes when he heard this, and understood, "I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Well, be careful," He Yishuang said, and without waiting for Baili Xiyao to respond, she hung up the phone. She turned around and had the unconscious Zhen Qi carried to the car before looking at Xiao Si. "You stay and continue investigating. I'll take Zhen Qi back for interrogation. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Xiao Si nodded after hearing this, and arranged for Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shiyi to leave with He Yishuang before taking the rest of the people to continue searching the nearby area for Zhen Linye's traces.
The old house of the He family.
When He Yishuang and his men carried Zhen Qi in, He Yiling had just arrived and was changing his shoes at the entrance. In the living room, Mr. He and his wife, and He Xiao and his wife were sitting and drinking tea. Baili Xiyao was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window facing the back garden, with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Take him to the basement and wake him up," He Yishuang ordered the subordinate who was dragging Zhen Qi behind him. Then, without changing his shoes, he went straight to the living room and greeted everyone one by one. "Zhen Qi injured his leg for some reason, so we won't bring him to the living room to avoid dirtying the place. I'll let Xiao Chen take him to the basement."
After saying that, He Yishuang looked up at Baili Xiyao who had turned around and looked at her. For some reason, she always felt that the things that were about to be dug out from Zhen Qi's mouth today would make her, the future sister-in-law, go crazy.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, He Yishuang said in a deep voice: "Should I do it or will you?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Xiyao said "I'll do it" and went to the basement. Seeing this, everyone in the living room also stood up and followed him to the basement.
"Mom and Dad, why are you two following us? What if something gets exciting?"
"Get lost! When I was traveling the world with my wife, you weren't even a sperm! Is there anything your mother and I can't stand?" Old Man He rolled his eyes at He Xiao in a very rude manner.
"That's right," Old Lady He echoed, then took Rui Qing's hand and said worriedly, "Qingqing, you were just feeling better a while ago, but you became sick again the past two days because you were too worried about what happened to A Zhao. Why don't you just stop following me?"
"Mom, I'm fine. I must hear with my own ears about the suffering Ah Zhao has endured over the years. If I really can't bear it later, I will let Brother Xiao take me away."
"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable at all, you must tell me," Mrs. He couldn't help but say one more word. After that, she looked at her youngest son, raised her hand to twist his ear, and her face changed. "You have to keep an eye on Qingqing. If anything happens to Qingqing, I will break your legs!"
He Xiao bent down and said, "Mom! I'm already so old, why do you still twist my ears all the time? Besides, when have I ever made you worry about Qing'er..."
"No matter how old you are, you are still my child. I can twist you as I please!" As she said this, Old Mrs. He rolled her eyes just like Old Mr. He did.
Maybe they were all afraid of hearing the truth, but after a few jokes, they all fell into a dead silence.
After He Yishuang took the lead in pushing open the door of the basement, everyone saw Zhen Qi who had been awakened and Baili Xiyao who was casually selecting torture tools in front of Zhen Qi. Zhen Qi's eyes were filled with panic, but his face only showed three-tenths of it, and these three-tenths of panic were enough for Baili Xiyao to pry the truth of that year out of him.
Baili Xiyao heard the sound of the door opening and looked back. Seeing that everyone was there, he casually pulled out a dagger with a cold gleam from his knife scroll. He looked at Zhen Qi with a half-smile and said in a cold tone, "Will you tell me honestly, or..." As he spoke, the blade of the dagger slowly crossed Zhen Qi's thigh and came to the top of the bandaged knee. With just a light scratch, the bandage broke open a layer. "Wait until I chop off your leg and feed it to the dogs, then tell me honestly."
The people standing behind Baili Xiyao felt a chill on their backs when they heard this.
Although Baili Xiyao generally looked indifferent in front of them, they had also seen Baili Xiyao being gentle as water when facing He Mozhao, and they had also seen Baili Xiyao being domineering in the business world. However, except for Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shiyi who were sent by Xiao Si to suppress Zhen Qi, the rest of the people present had never seen the current Baili Xiyao who was full of death and whose tone was full of murderous intent.
Baili Xiyao didn't want to have any scruples at the moment. In her heart, the only person who could make her worry was He Mozhao. But He Mozhao was lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital, his handsome face pale, and she didn't even know when he would wake up...
And the people behind her are just the family that He Mozhao wants, nothing more.
"What do you want to know from me? The whereabouts of President Zhen?" Zhen Qi sneered and looked behind Baili Xiyao. "It's useless for you to arrest me. I can't betray President Zhen."
“It seems you chose the second option.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Xiyao held the dagger in his hand, pointed the tip downward, and stabbed it into Zhen Qi's already injured thigh, with the tip of the knife hitting the original wound exactly.
As Zhen Qi screamed in pain, blood splattered, and a few drops flew onto Baili Xiyao's delicate little face. Combined with the black mist in Baili Xiyao's eyes, the dark color became even darker.
Before Zhen Qi could recover from the pain, the sharp blade of the dagger moved slowly in the flesh and blood along with the handle held by Baili Xiyao, as if searching for something in the wound.
