"Jie Yuchen." Zhang Qiling suddenly spoke.
Ji Huaichuan snorted softly and let go of 'Huo Xiu Xiu'. 'Huo Xiu Xiu' saw that she could no longer hide, so she took off her human skin mask after Ji Huaichuan let her go. This action left Wuxie stunned.
"Xiaohua'er? Why is it you!?"
Xie Yuchen threw the mask on the table, slowly sat back in his chair, and said, "It's boring that you recognized me so quickly."
Wuxie looked at the mask and then at Jie Yuchen. He had not yet recovered from his shock. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"It's really a disadvantage to fight you guys wearing this outfit. The blind man is right. Xiaochuan is really ruthless." Xie Yuchen lowered his head and rubbed his wrist, glanced at Ji Huaichuan who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and said slowly.
Ji Huaichuan paused holding the teacup, then placed it back on the table. He looked up at Jie Yuchen, chuckled, and said, "Xiao Hei always loves to talk nonsense. I'll have to trouble Brother Xiaohua to tell him a message for me. Just say...be careful next time."
Xie Yuchen raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, which was considered as agreement.
However, Zhang Qiling on the side was a little unhappy. He had just clearly heard Ji Huaichuan calling Jie Yuchen "Brother Xiaohua". Zhang Qiling lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, then pulled the chair where Ji Huaichuan was sitting towards himself, completely away from Jie Yuchen.
Ji Huaichuan was startled by Zhang Qiling's action, but quickly regained his composure. He poked Zhang Qiling's arm amusedly and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Qiling glanced at him sideways, then turned back and said calmly, "Cold."
Ji Huaichuan chuckled, "It's so hot in this room, why are you the only one feeling cold? Is it because of the April crabapple breeze?"
Zhang Qiling didn't react at first, but then he thought about it carefully and realized that Ji Huaichuan was teasing him. Zhang Qiling turned his head and ignored him.
Wu Xie was stunned watching from the side, not knowing what Ji Huaichuan was talking to Zhang Qiling about. He turned to look at the fat man for help, but the fat man raised his hands to cover his eyes, muttering, "Don't let your imagination run wild..."
Xie Yuchen instantly understood what Ji Huaichuan meant. He was teasing two people at once!
"Ahem, okay, okay, let's get down to business first."
Seeing that the awkward atmosphere was getting worse, Ji Huaichuan pretended to cough and changed the subject.
The fat man immediately regained his composure and looked at Xie Yuchen, who had just been exposed. He pointed at him and said, "Hua'er Ye, you betrayed your friend. We need to have a good talk about this."
"Yes, Master Huaer, what do you mean?" Wuxie also looked at Jie Yuchen with anger and displeasure.
Xie Yuchen said helplessly: "Wuxie, our goal is the same. If we want to know the truth, no one can avoid the Huo family, and I have received new information."
This immediately piqued Wu Xie's interest. After struggling for a long time, Wu Xie couldn't contain his curiosity and asked tentatively, "What... news?"
Xie Yuchen twitched the corners of his mouth, as if to predict the outcome, before continuing, "When I went to the Crescent Hotel earlier, I overheard Yin Nanfeng say... Zhang Rishan had been missing for a long time. She sent people to investigate, but there was no news."
Ji Huaichuan listened and leaned closer to Zhang Qiling, and sighed softly. It took such a long time for them to realize that the person was missing. If they were to find the mastermind behind the incident, it would probably be too late.
"But what does this have to do with our search for the Zhang family's ancient building?" Wuxie asked a little confused.
"Well…"
This question made it difficult for Xie Yuchen to answer, as it really had no direct connection.
"This... there are many secrets that only he knows. It will be much easier if we find him..." Xie Yuchen tried to explain.
Wu Xie frowned and said, "But even if you find Zhang Rishan, he may not tell you. Besides..."
"This is not important, Wuxie. I really want you to meet with Mr. Huo. There is no harm in cooperating with her." Xie Yuchen interrupted Wuxie.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, they agreed to understand Yu Chen's statement and followed him to the Huo family.
On the way to the Huo family, Ji Huaichuan was a little uneasy. He thought of Shen Tingsi, whom he met on the road not long ago. He had a bad premonition. Thinking of this, Ji Huaichuan looked at Zhang Qiling beside him. It seemed that he had to help them settle some things first.
The Miluotuo in the ancient building is too dangerous. Even someone as powerful as Zhang Qiling cannot come out of there unscathed, but he won't. Miluotuo will not attack him, so it is most appropriate for him to help them get rid of those dirty things first.
Thinking of this, Ji Huaichuan left after the car arrived at the Huo family. Zhang Qiling looked at his gradually receding back, and his hands clenched involuntarily. Ji Huaichuan never told him what he was doing every time he left, but he always came back with more or less injuries. He would not say anything even when he asked, and was very stubborn.
Not long after Ji Huaichuan left, Xie Yuchen received a text message from Hei Xiazi, saying that a big client was leaving and had left first. Xie Yuchen replied with an "OK", but vaguely sensed something was wrong. It couldn't be such a coincidence that Xiao Chuan'er left right after Xiazi did. There was a problem!
Xie Yuchen slowly put away his phone, suppressed his suspicions, and walked into the Huo family with Wuxie and the others. Old Mrs. Huo had been waiting for a long time...
Banai
"Little Master, you're leaving a blind man like me to deal with this all alone. Look at what you're doing. Take me with you to pave the way for your little lover."
"I'm just a little cabbage, no one loves me~"
"Oh my old waist, the world is so unfair."
"Are you going to make noise or not?" Ji Huaichuan really couldn't stand it anymore. Hei Xiazi had been muttering all the way. He really didn't know where he got so much to say. He was not tired at all.
Hei Xia Zi was silenced and looked at Ji Huaichuan aggrievedly. Every move he made was a complaint against the unfairness of fate. Ji Huaichuan felt annoyed and simply turned his back, pretending not to see it.
Seeing that his protests were fruitless, Hei Xiazi gave up struggling and approached to ask, "Little Master, we've already dealt with that Miluo Tuo. What else can we do when they come?"
Ji Huaichuan turned his head to look at Hei Xia Zi and said slowly, "It's different. What we want to get is something that can be sold even if it is broken into pieces. It's different from those dirty amber-like things in the cave."
"A pure jade figurine?" Hei Xiazi's eyes lit up.
Ji Huaichuan nodded slightly as a sign of agreement. Seeing Ji Huaichuan's reaction, Hei Xia Zi instantly became energized. His waist and legs were no longer sore and he could climb three hills in one breath.
