Chapter 123: A Mysterious Sense of Familiarity
of the Dijin Group.Before, there were rumors within the group that Su He's sudden arrival was due to someone pulling strings behind the scenes. Even though everyone looked into it thoroughly, they c...Qin Xiang Guan was given to Shen Mu Yin by Shen Xing Fan. Shen Mu Yin is the boss, and in her daily management, she is also under Shen Xing Fan.
Su He learned about Long Mao's news of meeting with Yue, and Shen Mu Yin and Shen Xing Fan almost knew at the same time.
They each took a separate private room, openly doing things they shouldn't.
Su He didn't know that her two older brothers had arrived earlier than she did.
She just felt that the manager and waitresses at Qin Xiang Guan were a little too enthusiastic in their hospitality, as if they wanted to carry her into the private room on a palanquin.
It's probably because Shen Xingfan directly handled a batch of people after the last incident!
Su He smiled and declined their offer to take her to a private room, taking the elevator herself.
The elevator quickly reached the sixteenth floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, Su He walked in the direction of 1668 as indicated by the signs.
The Sixteenth Floor is only open to specific clients. Before this, Su He had never come up.
The spacious and quiet corridor, Su He stepped on the soft carpet, as if walking on clouds.
After going around in circles, when Su He turned a corner and saw a new sign, they realized that their poor sense of direction had led them astray. They had no choice but to turn back and start over.
Turning back, Su He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly saw a tall and slender figure turn a corner from the corridor in the distance and disappear.
A powerful sense of familiarity, as if it were stimulating blood factors to roll out of control.
Su He's pupils trembled violently. Almost instinctively, she moved, raising her foot and chasing after the disappearing figure.
She was wearing flat shoes, running very fast, but she gasped for breath when she reached the front. Except for a vase on the floor, there wasn't anyone in the corridor.
Is she seeing things through rose-tinted glasses
Su He leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. She wasn't sure if it was from running too hard or something else, but her heart felt like it was pounding heavily, as if a drum was beating inside her chest.
Is that person really Huo Chenxi
Everyone said Huo Chenxi was driven out of the Huo family and disappeared, but Su He didn't believe Huo Chenxi would vanish like that.
She would rather believe that all of this was Huo Chenxi's scheme.
Fearing that Shen Xingfan would find out she had contacted Huo Chenxi, Su He secretly commissioned several agencies specializing in finding people to locate Huo Chenxi. The information received from them was largely the same.
Messages from various sources, however, let Su He know about Huo Chen Xi's predicament.
That weekend, when they made plans to meet, she stood him up. Huo Chenxi waited for her until very late and got drunk after returning to Starry Bay.
That day, Qin Shi just happened to receive news about Huo Yirou and, taking a portion of his men, went to investigate. He left half his forces with Huo Chenxi.
Unexpectedly, Huo Chenyi joined forces with the Shen family to take advantage of the situation. He led his men to forcefully break into Xīngyěwān Villa and abducted Huo Chenxi, who was passed out drunk.
Huo Chenyi got the news from somewhere and claimed that Huo Chenxi was not Huo Yao's biological son. He took advantage of this to have a kinship test done for Huo Chenxi and his grandfather.
As it turned out, just as he had heard, Huo Chenxi was not of the Huo family's bloodline.
Perhaps, unwilling to be overshadowed by Huo Chenxi's brilliance for so many years, Huo Chenyi went mad and tortured Huo Chenxi, eventually throwing him onto the road and letting his men run him over with a car.
When Qin Shi arrived, Huo Chenxi was already on his deathbed, barely able to breathe.
During the Qin Dynasty period, the very first thing he did was send Huo Chen Xi to Jian Ya Hospital and begged the dean to appear personally and contact Shen Yue Ze to perform surgery on him.
That day, she happened to be in Zhao Binrui's car when an accident occurred. Shen Yueze chose to operate on her and then disappeared from the hospital.
All the surveillance footage was corrupted, making it impossible to determine who had taken Huo Chenxi.
Su He's people tracked Qin Shi for a while, confirming that Qin Shi was also secretly looking for Huo Chen Xi, but they didn't know his whereabouts.
>>>>
Even though Shen Yueze knew that Huo Chenxi falling into Huo Chenyi's hands had nothing to do with her, the fact that Huo Chenxi was drunk and taken advantage of by Huo Chenyi, and that Su He hadn't insisted on treating Huo Chenxi because of her, still made her feel a little guilty.
It wasn't self-blame, just that he shouldn't have lost to Huo Shenyi like this.
Even if it was for Grandma Huo, she had to find Huo Chen Xi.
With a light sigh, Su He looked at the empty corridor and turned to walk in another direction.
Finally found the private room.
Raised his hand to knock on the door, a sound came from inside the room after a while, like someone speaking.
Su He hadn't heard clearly, but she thought that Long Mao's underconscious muttering in a foreign language was an invitation for her to enter.
She reached out and pushed the door open.
In the smoky and stuffy private room, a group of men lay sprawled on the floor, beaten and bruised, their lives hanging in the balance.
Beside the coffee table littered with scattered wine bottles, stood a tall and sturdy man, full of spirit. He was standing on one leg atop the table, with one hand on his hip and the other gripping the head of a slightly overweight man with a floral tattoo. He slammed the tattooed man's head against the marble coffee table repeatedly.
Where the man's tattooed arm met the coffee table, a pool of dark red blood was beginning to form.
Behind the tea table, there was a person faintly seated in the corner of the sofa.
The lights were dimmed, casting a soft glow on his casually cocked legs.
The ironed, straight black trousers glistened coldly, paired with handmade black leather shoes that inexplicably carried a hint of coldness.
Su He couldn't see his face, but she had a feeling of déjà vu.
The man standing by the tea table suddenly raised his head, his eyes like a bloodthirsty beast, dangerously fixed on her, releasing a strong killing intent. Su He shivered involuntarily, startled by the intensity.
Without even having time to look, Su He almost instinctively turned around and wanted to run away.
Before she had taken two steps, a beastly dangerous man rushed over, clamping onto her shoulders as if to crush them. He dragged her into the private room with all his might.
"I went to the wrong room." Su He pretended to be calm, turning her head away from him, explaining word for word, "I didn't see anything."
"Only the dead keep secrets!" The man narrowed his eyes, gazing dangerously at Su He, taking a step closer to her.
As soon as she sensed the man's presence looming behind her, Su He finally turned around. She saw the palpable murderous intent in his eyes and started to retreat, but accidentally stepped on a body lying on the ground—it was unclear if the person was dead or alive. She nearly tripped over it.
It seems this matter can't be resolved easily.
"I won't say anything." Su He took a deep breath and proactively suggested, "You can't leave no trace while handling so many people here. Let me go, and I'll help you clean up the rest of the evidence."
The killing intent on the man's face dissipated somewhat after Su He spoke, but he still eyed her warily. "Why should I trust you"
Su He immediately realized that this man was not from City A.
After New Year's Eve, few people in A city didn't know her.
Su He was about to explain when a cold, low voice suddenly came: "Agree to her, let her go."
The man who was still radiating killing intent upon hearing this, did not hesitate at all. He stepped aside, letting out a path, and looked at Su He with indifference.
Su He quickly glanced at the corner of the sofa. The light was still dim, but she could faintly see the man's sharp and thin jawline, with distinct angles and a cold, unapproachable demeanor.ny. Suddenly, she raised her lips and smiled gently.Before, she only knew that she had to be good to Huo Chenxi and do her best to take care of him, give him all the care she could, so he wouldn't hav...
