Chapter 1859: Bad Luck
**
Here, Xiao Xie goes back to report.
Huo Changfeng looked at the contract in his hand and finally digested what Xiao Xie said, "...Are you saying that the young lady is familiar with the power behind the Cloud Realm?"
Xiao Xie thought about the iconic embroidery on the cuffs of the group of people he had observed yesterday, as well as their respect for the golden-haired man, and nodded with certainty, "I definitely didn't see it wrong."
Upon hearing this, Huo Changfeng's expression was complicated yet suddenly relieved. No wonder she didn't take the assessment of the successor seriously. It seemed that as long as she wanted, nothing would be difficult for her.
Now it seems that it is true.
"The mastermind behind the ambush on our convoy this time was Madam Melissa." Xiao Xie looked at the chief steward and spoke again.
Huo Changfeng arranged for people to investigate yesterday, but there was no result yet. When he heard Xiao Xie talk about it, he was slightly stunned.
Seeing this, Xiao Xie hurriedly explained: "This was also found by the eldest lady's friend."
He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but Huo Yao happened to be talking to Myron and the others in the living room without hiding, so he couldn't help but hear it.
Moreover, with the terrifying information network of Yunzhijing, there would be no mistakes in the investigation.
At this time, the men outside came in and just came to report the results of their investigation.
It was exactly as Xiao Xie said just now.
"Melissa probably felt that the young lady was blocking Miss Wanying's way, so she took such a cruel action." Xiao Xie said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, the young lady got off the car halfway."
Otherwise... there were nearly thirty people in the entire convoy, but only ten were left in the end. It can be said that Melissa had no intention of giving the eldest lady any hope of survival.
"I don't know whether Miss Wanying is involved in this matter." Xiao Xie sighed.
In fact, he has always been quite impressed by Huo Wanying. She has outstanding abilities and it is rare for a woman to be stronger than a man.
The only thing is that he is close to the Presbyterian Church.
Huo Changfeng's eyes narrowed, and he said calmly, "She won't."
Of course he knew what kind of person Melissa was, but he knew even better what kind of person Huo Wanying was.
Because a proud person would never disdain to win by such means.
Otherwise, Mr. Feng would not have allowed Melissa to live in the Huo family manor for so many years.
After all, it was all for Wanying's sake.
"So what should Melissa do now?" Xiao Xie asked.
Huo Changfeng's eyes were dark and unclear. After a while, he said, "She can't make such a big fuss alone. Arrange someone to secretly control her and wait until the successor assessment is over."
Xiao Xie probably understood what he meant.
The Huo family should have cleaned up their house long ago. If they don't take the opportunity to uproot it, they will probably never have peace in the future.
"By the way, Chief Steward, the eldest lady asked me to tell you something." Xiao Xie said again.
Huo Changfeng looked at Xiao Xie, "Hmm?"
"She's actually not interested in an heir."
**
Time passed quickly, and two days later, it was the day to end the union's mission and vote to select the final successor.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The top floor of the Union Building.
Except for Huo Yao who had not arrived yet, everyone else including Huo Yulin had already sat down at the long conference table.
"Is this young lady planning to give up on her successor?" someone gloated.
"I heard that Deacon Ding and his convoy were ambushed on their way to Shangyi Town. Deacon Ding, in particular, almost lost half his life. Not to mention whether the young lady is in trouble, just this mission... I'm afraid it can't be completed?"
"The outskirts of Shangyi Town are a no-man's land, and there are many bandits. If you encounter an ambush, you can only say that you are unlucky."
Huo Qing and the Great Elder listened to everyone's whispered discussions and couldn't help but look at each other with ambiguous expressions.
