Chapter 937: Mutual Exploration
Chapter 937: Mutual Exploration
Three years ago, the contemporary head of the Huo family, one of the Seven Heroes of Yunshui, was involved in a car accident while going out to discuss business, killing all three members of his family. This caused a heated discussion at the time.
The son of this family of three is Huo Xiaoxi.
Although the Huo family did not let the matter be discussed for a long time, they did not deliberately hide the information. With a little investigation or casual inquiry, you can learn what happened back then.
It is known that the young master of the Huo family who died was named Huo Xiaoxi.
So under normal circumstances it would not be surprising for Zhou Yi to know the name Huo Xiaoxi, but Huo Xiaolei asked:
"Then why did you just ask me if I knew Huo Xiaoxi?"
"If you know that he is my cousin and has been dead for many years, what do you mean by asking me this?"
"Are you deliberately reminding me of sad things and provoking me?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that Huo Xiaolei looked like a fool and a useless rich second generation before, but now it seems that he is not useless at all, but he is still a little immature.
Sure enough, before Zhou Yi could speak, Huo Chengan glared at Huo Xiaolei, and then said with a smile: "Because Quanzi and my dead nephew grew up together, and we have a deep relationship, so I am a little excited. I hope Brother Zhou Yi Forgive me."
Zhou Yi shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Huo Chengan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Little friend Zhou Yi, I just asked Ximen Ye about your background, but he didn't give me a reply."
"I asked him again if you were trustworthy, and he nodded. Forgive me for being rude. After all, this involves a secret of my Huo family, so I have to figure it out before I can talk about the next thing."
At this point, Huo Chengan hesitated and said, "Actually, there are various signs that my nephew Huo Xiaoxi is not dead."
Zhou Yi deliberately looked surprised.
Huo Chengan continued: "When their family of three had a car accident, although there were three corpses in the end, the face of the third corpse had been burnt. It only looked similar to my nephew in appearance, so I couldn't conclude that it must be me. Nephew.”
Zhou Yi interrupted: "Can't tell? There is a possibility. How can you be sure that your nephew is not dead?"
At this time, the old man Zhugan snorted coldly: "Stop pretending, you are also a warrior. A warrior who was about to break through to his inner strength died in a car accident. Do you believe this?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was indeed unbelievable that a warrior died in a car accident, but for a big family like the Huo family, it would be even more unbelievable for the head of a family of three to die in a car accident.
It seems that the other party still wants to test himself.
Huo Chengan smiled apologetically, and then continued: "There are still some clues that show that my nephew is still alive, but I have been investigating almost all of China in the past few years."
"There just aren't any clues about my nephew."
Zhou Yi didn't say anything obviously, but secretly thought that Tianyang was not a good city in China as a whole, but it was not bad either. This kind of city in the middle was the most inconspicuous.
It is indeed a good place to hide people.
Huo Xiaoxi changed his name to Xijiudao when he was in Tianyang, and it is hidden in the old city of Tianyang. It is indeed difficult to find it without careful investigation.
"As one of the Seven Heroes of Yunshui, your Huo family, since the young master is still alive, it should be easy to find one person with the resources of the entire family." Zhou Yi said calmly.
Huo Chengan suddenly looked embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the box fell silent.
The old man Zhugan glanced at Zhou Yi, and then whispered to Huo Chengan: "Master, stop testing each other. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to figure out the reason even if we talk until tomorrow."
"You are afraid that he was sent by the head of the family to test you. This young man is not simple. He is also afraid that you were sent by the head of the house to test him. However, although the head of the house is very powerful, I don't believe that after several years, he can still do it. You specifically set up a trap."
Huo Chengan frowned and said, "If you're not afraid of [-], just be afraid of the worst. That guy is a ruthless thief. I've been careful in the past few years because I'm afraid that he will get caught and kick me out of the top management."
The old man Zhugan sighed and said: "Master, I think you are too cautious. In fact, since the head of the family was promoted to the second rank and joined the official organization, his investigation of Young Master Xiaoxi stopped. Do you know why?"
Huo Chengan was silent, seeming to be thinking.
"Because there is no threat to him anymore."
The old man Zhugan said seriously: "In the past few years, the master's prestige in the family has been getting higher and higher, and there are more and more supporters. There is almost no opposition. Even if the young master is still alive now, do you think the family will still have him after he returns?" A place for you?"
"So the head of the family won't waste any time and set up a trap specifically for you. It's just unnecessary for him."
Huo Chengan seemed to be moved, and finally shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I was bitten by a snake once, and I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years. I still remember the tragic situation of Cheng Qian."
He chatted quietly with the old man Zhugan for a while, while Zhou Yi sat aside and waited patiently.
About five minutes later, Huo Chengan came over with an apologetic smile, cupped his fists at Zhou Yi and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, little brother. Mr. Qi is right. We can't find anything if we continue to test. Why don't we open the skylight and speak frankly. I am Xiaoxi's uncle and I want to meet him."
Before Zhou Yi could speak, he said directly: "The original car accident was a complete lie. Xiao Xi's parents, my biological brothers and sisters, were assassinated by their adopted son, Huo Xiaohong, the current head of the Huo family. .”
"When I knew the truth of the incident, I thought about avenging them, but it was too late. Huo Xiaohong is a grandmaster himself, and there is more than one grandmaster behind him to support him."
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes: "Why should I believe you?"
As soon as Zhou Yi said this, excitement appeared on the faces of Huo Chengan and the old man Zhugan. Huo Xiaolei on the side was even more stunned. His eyes turned red after he realized what he said and he couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao...Xiaoxi, is he really still alive?"
Zhou Yi's reply indeed proved that Huo Xiaoxi was still alive in some aspects, so the three of them became very excited.
Seeing Huo Xiaolei's appearance and thinking of his arrogant and domineering second-generation rich temperament earlier, Zhou Yi didn't want to test it anymore. He chose to believe in the three people's feelings for Xiao Xi. If Huo Xiaolei was acting this out, then he was deceived. Also convinced.
Huo Chengan said with excitement: "I...I can't prove it now, but you have to believe that my feelings for Xiao Xi are true. I grew up watching him, and I am his uncle."
"I just want to see him now. It's right here. I will never hurt him. And if you don't believe it, you can ask Ximen Ye to come over. He will be safe and there will be no problem."
Zhou Yi thought for a while, then made the last test tonight, and said with a serious face: "I just told Xiaoxi about your stay in Tiancheng. He just wants to avenge his parents now. If you can provide him with help, , then he will see you."
"If he can't, he doesn't want to see you."
After hearing this, Huo Chengan's expression changed, and he shook his head without any hesitation: "No."
"Never think about revenge."
