Chapter 143: The Person Behind the Scenes
At this moment, in a luxurious mansion in Beijing.
In front of the huge French window, a man in a customized suit was gently swirling the red wine in his glass, listening to the piano and enjoying the night view outside the window.
At this moment, a middle-aged man opened the door and walked straight to the man. He was dressed like the butler of the house.
“Young Master, the mission failed!” The butler sounded a little depressed.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and unhurriedly turned around to place the glass on the table. “Oh? Who’s men were sent to do it? You can’t even complete such a simple mission? You’re making me question your ability more and more.”
As if sensing the severity of the matter, the butler’s legs went soft and he knelt on the ground with trembling legs. “Young Master, please calm down! Our people had originally knocked Chen Man to death, but for some reason, that woman was saved by her daughter-in-law in Cloud City’s hospital!”
The man lowered his head and glanced at the person on the ground before curling his lips slightly. “What do you mean? Are you saying that she had been revived after she was confirmed to be dead?”
“That’s right, Young Master. We’ve done this kind of thing more than once or twice. We definitely won’t fail. Besides, everyone in the Central Hospital knows that Chen Man is recovering very quickly!”
The man tapped his fingers on the table and squinted with interest. “The Huo family’s daughter-in-law? She was able to save someone from the gates of hell. How interesting…”
Just as he finished speaking, the butler, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn’t wait to continue speaking. “Young Master, why don’t we capture Huo Xuan’s fiancée, and interrogate her to find out how she saved Chen Man!”
The man waved his hand casually and his eyes darkened. “Don’t be in a hurry to take action first. The Huo family isn’t as simple as it looks.”
He paused and lowered his head to ask, “Have you checked on Huo Xuan’s fiancée?”
When the butler heard this, he nodded and reported truthfully, “I’ve checked, Young Master. This girl’s name is Mo Zhu. She was born and raised in Qingyuan Village. Her father passed away early, and her mother married into the Fang family of Cloud City. She was raised by her grandmother. Not long ago, the Fang family agreed to marry a daughter to the Huo family, but they didn’t want to marry the daughter they had raised. That was when they thought of bringing her to Cloud City to marry in the younger daughter’s stead.”
After a pause, he recalled Mo Zhu’s performance after she came to Cloud City. The butler added, “This Mo Zhu is quite good-looking, but she is ignorant, incompetent, and has very poor grades. Besides that, according to the scouts in Cloud City, although the Huo family really likes her, her status in the Fang family is not high.”
Although the butler had already reported all the relevant information about Mo Zhu to the man, it was clear that this information was useless regarding the miraculous medical skills.
Smiling calmly, the man looked up at the bright stars outside the French window. “It’s useless even if you find out the information on the surface. With such amazing medical skills, this girl is not as simple as a high school student.”
The butler nodded obediently and said with fear, “This is all the information related to Mo Zhu that we have found through our investigations. I don’t know why, but it seems like someone is deliberately stopping us from investigating her. All the other information related to her has been concealed.”
“Based on the Huo family’s way of doing things, as their prospective daughter-in-law, Mo Zhu would naturally not be someone that can be easily discovered by others. With such excellent medical skills, if outsiders find out, the Huo family alone can’t protect this young lady.” The man’s tone was calm, as if he had already expected this matter to not be so simple.
“In Young Master’s opinion, we should?” The butler frowned, not quite understanding the man’s meaning.
“We’ll investigate in a few days. We’ve already alerted the Huo Family by exposing Chen Man’s incident and they’ve started paying attention to us. Instruct the people in Cloud City to be careful with their work. They should know what to do if they’re caught.”
“Yes, we’ll listen to Young Master’s arrangements!”
After saying this, the butler didn’t say anything else. He stood up and walked straight out the door.
The man by the window picked up his glass again and quietly looked at the vast night sky.
Huo Xuan’s fiancée?
Her name was Mo Zhu, right?
Interesting. Interesting.
At the Huo residence.
She slept very soundly. When Mo Zhu woke up, Huo Xuan had already gone downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Because of the accident this time, Chen Man specially applied for a few days off from Mo Zhu, so Mo Zhu didn’t have to wake up early for school these few days and could stay at the Huo residence to rest.
Seeing that the dining table was already filled with all sorts of breakfast, Mo Zhu didn’t stand on ceremony. She sat down on the chair and prepared to eat.
Just as she picked up a small spoon and took a sip of porridge, a hurried ringtone came from Huo Xuan’s pocket.
The man frowned and put down the half peeled egg in his hand. He wiped his hands, took out his phone and picked up the call.
“Hello? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?” Huo Xuan sounded a little impatient.
“Brother Huo! It’s me! There’s news about Black Tiger in Beijing. Our people have blocked him on the street in Golden Sands Beach!”
The person on the other end of the phone was Xu Huan. He didn’t purposely insist on calling Huo Xuan at this time but this matter was too important!
