"Grandma Huo, what do you want from us?"
Wu Xie was the first to speak. Old Mrs. Huo looked at him and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect you to sneak out."
Old Mrs. Huo knew that Wuxie was locked up by his family in order to prevent him from participating in this operation. After all, this matter was not a secret and it would be clear with a little inquiry.
"I asked you to come here because I have something important to tell you."
Old Mrs. Huo took out a photo. The photo was a little yellowed and the person in the photo was a little blurry, but you could vaguely see that it was a handsome and frail young man. The young man's slightly blurry face was somewhat similar to Qin Ze.
Jie Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had noticed something, and he estimated that the next thing the old lady wanted to discuss with them would not go smoothly.
"Boss Huo, let's be frank. We can't let Xiaoze take any risks." There was a hint of warning in Hei Xia Zi's tone. He remembered some things that happened in the past.
That young man who looked like Qin Ze was the undisputed favorite of the previous generation of the Nine Gates. Unfortunately, in the end...
"Look, I haven't said anything yet, and you're already nervous..."
Old Madam Huo's eyes were a little complicated. She glanced at the already nervous Wu Xie and the others, and said with a hint of nostalgia: "Thinking back then, Master Buddha and the others also protected that person in the same way. It's a pity that he still had to get involved in it in the end..."
Old Mrs. Huo chuckled, with a hint of mockery in her tone: "The current situation is not about whether you want to or not, but you have to let him go."
Old Madam Huo pointed at Qin Ze and said, "What happened back then is not as simple as you think. There are too many things involved. Someone is watching this operation."
Old Mrs. Huo pointed her finger slightly upwards, and Jie Yuchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately understood.
For a moment, Jie Yuchen felt as if he was surrounded by ice and snow, his whole body frozen stiff.
Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi also frowned.
Although Wuxie and Fatty didn't think of the key point at once, they realized that something was wrong after seeing the reactions of Jie Yuchen and the others.
Mrs. Huo continued, "The reason we were able to mobilize so many people for this operation was entirely due to someone's tacit approval."
"As for the other party's purpose, I don't need to explain it in detail. I'm sure you all understand it."
Qin Ze's mind raced. The youth from the previous generation of the Nine Gates who looked like him was related to the Zhang Family Ancient Building...
Could it be...
Combined with what Mrs. Huo just said, Qin Ze only had a very heavy filter when it came to Zhang Qiling and the others. In fact, he was still quite smart.
It didn't take long for me to understand the hidden meaning in Mrs. Huo's words.
It seems that he has to leave the Zhang family's ancient building this time, whether he wants to or not.
After Mrs. Huo finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Jie Yuchen clenched his hands slightly. They did intend to bring Xiaoze into the Zhang family's ancient building, but voluntary and being forced are two different things.
The feeling of having a sword hanging over your head is really uncomfortable. It feels like your head may fall off at any time, which makes people feel very insecure.
For many years, ever since he successfully succeeded as the head of the Xie family, Xie Yuchen has never felt so insignificant. There is no way. Although he has some power and money, compared with the other party, the gap between the two sides is too far. The other party can easily crush him.
Old Mrs. Huo knew that what she had just said made Wuxie and the others feel very uncomfortable, but they would know about this matter sooner or later. Instead of knowing it later and falling into a passive state, it is better to know it earlier so that they can at least make some preparations and not be too passive.
"I called you here today to talk about this matter. Go back and think about it carefully. I'm tired, so I'll see you off first."
The reason why Mrs. Huo reminded Qin Ze and the others was that she wanted to do them a favor. After all, if they wanted to go down the ancient building, they had to rely on them (Zhang Qiling).
Jie Yuchen and the others returned to the small courtyard where they lived, closed the door, and skillfully put up an isolation talisman. The fat man angrily pounded the table, making a loud "bang" sound.
The fat man's hands turned red, but he didn't care at all.
"What the hell is this? They're targeting our Xiaoze! Damn it, I better not let Fatty find them!"
Otherwise, the fat man will find an opportunity to skin them alive!
"Drink some cooling tea to calm down." Qin Ze took out a bottle of drink from the space and handed it to the fat man.
He didn't seem that angry about the fact that he was tricked into entering the Zhang family's ancient building. Qin Ze looked at his brothers who were obviously very angry and tried to persuade them.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. If your Qi damages your body, won't the people in the dark be even more proud? Besides, I was planning to enter the Zhang family's ancient building anyway. Regardless of whether they had a plan or not, I would definitely go. There's no need to be angry about this."
Of course, going in voluntarily is one thing, and being forced to go in is another.
Qin Ze could understand their feelings. If it were Zhang Qiling and the others who were plotted against, he would probably be furious too.
I even wanted to skin the other person alive.
Seeing his brothers so angry because of others' plotting against him, Qin Ze felt warm in his heart.
【Tong said, have you forgotten me? 】
A furry pink ball appeared out of thin air, with short furry paws and a non-existent waist. It looked cute but had no head.
[Don't worry, I'll leave the investigation to Tong. Anyone who dares to plot against my host will be killed!]
Qin Ze is the host personally selected by System 000. System 000 said that it is reluctant to bully the host, so how could it allow any scum to plot against Qin Ze!
[Thank you for your hard work again, Tongzi] Qin Ze felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was too useless and had to ask the system to help him solve most of the problems.
[It's okay, just a small thing to do]
System 000 waved its claws to show that it didn't care at all. As for the fact that Qin Ze was not capable enough and always bothered him, System 000 actually enjoyed it.
All of its previous hosts were cunning and extremely powerful, making this system seem like a waste. They just slacked off all day long and waited for an easy win, which was completely useless!
Now that we have the chance to take action, System 000 must perform well!
System 000 rubbed its paws. It had had enough fun recently and it was time to get down to business. It said hello to Qin Ze and slipped back into the system space.
The furry claws operated flexibly on the virtual panel, and characters that ordinary people could not understand jumped quickly on the panel.
