"What a useless piece of crap."
Huo Qiqi has very good hearing. Although the speaker's voice was very low, Huo Qiqi still locked onto this person. This person was the old man in Tang suit.
Although the real culprit who poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was caught, the person who poisoned the food was also poisoned, which gave the police a headache.
When everyone saw the person who poisoned the food being poisoned to death, they could no longer bear it and wanted to leave immediately. They didn't want to stay at the scene for even a second. After a brief discussion, several police officers in charge let everyone leave, and this cooking competition ended.
When the many spectators outside the stadium saw Wu Chuan being carried away by doctors, they guessed that something might have gone wrong at the game. It was not until they saw a large number of police officers show up that their guess was confirmed.
As the invited guests left one by one, the audience outside the venue realized what had happened inside and was extremely saddened.
Under the protection of Shen Lan and Wei Hong, Huo Qiqi successfully arrived at the parking lot. After Shen Lan found Huo Qiqi's car, the three of them drove away.
Along the way, Wei Hong couldn't figure out how Huo Qiqi found the poisonous Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so she tentatively asked, "Boss, how did you find that bowl of poisonous Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
Huo Qiqi smiled. Usually, Shen Lan was a curious baby, but this time it was Wei Hong's turn. Huo Qiqi pointed to her nose and said, "My nose is quite sensitive. I smelled that there was something wrong with that bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so I secretly hid it."
Wei Hong suddenly understood. No wonder her boss was so calm after seeing Wu Chuan poisoned. Everything was within the boss's expectations.
Huo Qiqi looked at the short Wei Hong and said with concern, "You two must not have eaten well today. When you go back, ask the chef to make us some midnight snacks. You can have some rest after you finish your midnight snack."
Shen Lan, who was driving, couldn't help but have red eyes when she heard what Huo Qiqi said. She felt extremely useless. If Huo Qiqi hadn't been so capable and discovered the bowl of poisonous Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she would never forgive herself until her death.
Wei Hong wasn't as happy as she'd imagined when she heard there was a midnight snack. Instead, she said with immense guilt, "Boss, I feel so bad. It was you who discovered the problematic bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall this time. And it was Shen Lan who attacked the tall and thin chef first. I feel so useless."
Looking at Wei Hong, who was drowning in self-blame, Chen Lan held her hand tightly and said softly, "Wei Hong, Chen Lan, you should remember that when I first came to Hong Kong, you were by my side to protect me. Even today, you are still by my side. We eat and live together, and we have fought against assassins together. In my heart, you are not only my bodyguards, but also my friends. You must never say such distant words again."
Chen Lan and Wei Hong were deeply moved. They secretly resolved to intensify their training from tomorrow and to protect their boss well next time.
After returning to the villa, the chef had already prepared a midnight snack. Huo Qiqi had a simple meal and then went back to her room.
After returning to the room, Huo Qiqi flashed into the space. After a quick wash, she decided to investigate the old man in Tang suit. Because the old man in Tang suit was marked by Huo Qiqi, Huo Qiqi quickly discovered his whereabouts with the help of the system space.
Inside an abandoned building in Xicheng, several figures were swaying in the candlelight.
"Mr. Qian, how was the operation this time? Was it successful?" a bearded man asked in a muffled voice.
The old man in Tang suit kicked away the broken bricks in front of him and said angrily: "That idiot, the operation failed, and the police are now investigating."
"Mr. Qian, what should we do next?" A middle-aged woman's voice rang out.
"Hu Zi, Moran, we have to lie low for a while. Once the storm has died down, we will take action against Huo Qiqi. The failure of this operation is due to Huo Qiqi." The old man in Tang suit glared at Huo Qiqi as he spoke of her, as if he had a deep hatred for her.
Hu Zi winked at Moran, who then said, "Mr. Qian, although we haven't been in Hong Kong long, we've heard about some of Hong Kong's big names from newspapers and television. Huo Qiqi is one of the best. To deal with Huo Qiqi, we'll have to take a huge risk."
The old man in Tang suit knew that if he didn't explain the whole story to them, it would be difficult to carry out the next action.
"My real name is Qian Chulai. You should know from my name that I am a member of the Qian family. The head of the Qian family, Qian Chushan, is my elder brother. It is because of my brother's support over the years that I have been able to travel all over the world to find delicious food.
"When I returned to Hong Kong this time, I discovered that the Qian family had gone bankrupt because of Huo Qiqi. My eldest brother was fortunately taken away by his adopted son Qian Da, but my eldest nephew Qian Ming died. I hate Huo Qiqi, so I want to get rid of her." The old man in the Tang suit said this, staring intently at Hu Zi and Mo Lan. If they made any unusual moves, he would be the first to strike first and not expose himself.
Hu Zi looked at the thing on Qian Chulai's waist and knew that it was a wooden warehouse. Naturally, he would not confront Qian Chulai with force. He rolled his eyes and said to Qian Chulai: "Don't worry, Mr. Qian, you saved Mo Lan and me. Naturally, we are willing to help you deal with Huo Qiqi." Mo Lan also reacted and expressed his attitude.
Qian Chulai saw the expressions of Hu Zi and Moran and knew that he had temporarily stabilized the two. Qian Chulai felt that this was not enough, so he took out two passbooks from his pocket and said, "There are 200 million yuan in these two passbooks. Each of you can take one. If you help me get rid of Huo Qiqi, I will give you another 200 million yuan afterwards."
Hu Zi and Moran took their own passbooks and looked at the amount on them. The resentment in their hearts completely disappeared. Besides, they could get 200 million yuan afterwards, so why not do it?
Qian Chulai knew that there was another culprit behind the Qian family's bankruptcy, Zou Chuang, but Zou Chuang's strength was too terrifying, and he had no good solution, so he decided to get rid of Huo Qiqi first.
Huo Qiqi, in the system space, felt overwhelmed. The Qian and Zhou families were endlessly entangled. Especially the Qian family, it was even more entangled. She wasn't the only one who caused the Qian family to go bankrupt. Why didn't she go after Zou Chuang? It seemed that her foundation was too shallow and she needed to work harder.
Huo Qiqi planned to get rid of these people now, or at least send them to prison so that they would never come out to harm others again.
Just when Huo Qiqi was about to take action, footsteps suddenly sounded at the stairs. Hu Zi and Moran also took out their weapons with extreme caution.
Qian Chulai stopped Hu Zi and Moran and explained, "Don't panic, our helpers are here."
