After leaving the Huo family, Xiao Chen had no intention of going back immediately.
It's hard to come to the provincial capital, but I can take the opportunity to do some sightseeing.
Not long after leaving, he discovered that someone had been following him secretly.
"This Huo Qingsong..."
Xiao Chen knew it was the people sent by Huo Qingsong, so he ignored them and let them follow.
The Huo family's matter is a bit complicated, and it's not just as simple as Huo Lin suffering from a strange disease.
He stayed in the provincial capital because he wanted to observe the situation.
…
Xiao Chen walked around the bustling market and found that it was not much different from Lanning City and was a bit boring.
Unknowingly, he came to Mingyue Mountain.
The city is full of noise, but the scenery in this place is just right, the air is exceptionally clear, and there is even a hint of aura.
Along the way, we saw a natural waterfall, which poured down for more than ten feet and was very majestic.
“This is quite a nice place!”
Although the spiritual energy in the air is still thin, it is much better than in the city, and the environment is even more comfortable.
"Hey, country bumpkin, don't go up there anymore!"
A beautiful and fashionable girl appeared in front of Xiao Chen, her tone full of warning.
Xiao Chen looked back at him and asked, "Why can't you go up?"
"Because from today on, this piece of land on the top of Mingyue Mountain belongs to me!"
The girl looked proud and seemed to be showing off to Xiao Chen.
"Did you buy this land?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course, the villa on the top of this land is attached to it. My boyfriend bought that villa and gave it to me, so this square area of land belongs to me, and no one else is allowed to enter it!"
"villa?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
There was actually a villa on the top of Mingyue Mountain, and he wanted to take a look.
So, instead of leaving, he walked up the mountain.
"Hey, can you understand people?"
The girl was very angry and chased Xiao Chen, trying to drive Xiao Chen away.
However, no matter how she ran, she could not catch up with Xiao Chen who was "walking".
In about two minutes, the two of them chased each other and reached the top of the mountain.
"There really is a villa!"
Xiao Chen saw it.
There is not only a villa on the top of the mountain, but it is also very luxurious. It covers an area of more than a thousand square meters and has a swimming pool, parking lot, basketball court... and various facilities.
It's really enjoyable to live in a place like this!
"Hello!"
The girl finally caught up, panting and angry.
"I told you not to come up, why are you so stubborn?"
Xiao Chen glanced at her and said calmly: "Is it illegal to take a look?"
"Breaking the law, breaking my law, Ruan Xiaoqian!"
Girls are arrogant and unreasonable.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "You are so barbaric. I don't know why your boyfriend fell in love with you. Be careful of him dumping you!"
"Haha, thank you for the reminder. Unfortunately, my boyfriend said that he will never marry me unless I am in this life. Do you know how much this Villa No. 1 costs?"
Ruan Xiaoqian looked at Xiao Chen's shabby clothes and sneered:
"Two hundred million! Yes, you heard it right. I guess you have never dreamed of so much money, right? My boyfriend bought it and gave it to me without blinking an eye. How much do you think he loves me?"
In fact, this statement is somewhat false.
Ruan Xiaoqian's boyfriend did buy this villa, but he didn't buy it specifically for her, he just allowed her to live here.
Of course, there is no need to worry so much when showing off in front of Xiao Chen.
At this moment, a luxury convertible Bugatti drove out of the villa. The young man in the car waved to Ruan Xiaoqian:
"Xiao Qian, come here quickly!"
"Brother Yu!"
Ruan Xiaoqian immediately seemed to be a different person, running over happily, pouting and acting coquettishly.
"Brother Yu, have you signed the contract?"
"Well, once everything is signed, this will be our home from now on, and you can move in at any time!"
The young man looked doting on his face, then glanced at Xiao Chen and asked:
"Who is he? Do you know him?"
"A country bumpkin, how could I know him? I just met him while walking nearby and asked him not to come up, but he kept coming up. Maybe he is a thief!"
The young man laughed dumbly and said: "Don't be stupid, there is the safest defense system here, and dozens of security guards are on duty in turns. Which thief can steal things here?"
"Hehe, I just can't stand him hanging around in front of our house!"
"Forget it, no one else will envy you. I'll take you to eat delicious food!"
"okay!"
Ruan Xiaoqian turned around and gave Xiao Chen a contemptuous look, then sat in the car.
The Bugatti started and drove down the mountain.
Xiao Chen ignored him and still stood there looking at the villa.
…
It was already dark when he returned to the provincial capital. Xiao Chen entered the hotel and booked a room, waiting for someone to come find him.
As expected, Huo Qingsong quickly came to the door.
But he didn't come alone, but with his wife, that is, Xiaoyuan.
"Mr. Xiao, please save my dad no matter what!"
Huo Qingsong begged and almost knelt down before Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said calmly: "Have you discussed it with your eldest brother and third brother?"
"No! They are even guarding me now and won't let me get close to my dad's room!"
Speaking of this, Huo Qingsong felt angry.
After Xiao Chen left during the day, Huo Qingsong and Huo Yuan quarreled, and except for Xiaoyuan, everyone else sided with Huo Yuan.
At the end of the quarrel, Huo Yuan sent more people to guard the place and wouldn't even let him get close.
"As expected!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Huo Qingsong was stunned and asked: "What does Mr. Xiao mean by this?"
Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, "Do you really think your father suddenly contracted a strange disease?"
"It must have been the past few days when I was out. When I was at home a few days ago, my dad was fine!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said:
"No, your dad just woke up something latent because he took red water chestnut ginseng. In fact, your dad has been infected with this disease for at least ten years!"
"What, ten years?"
Huo Qingsong was shocked, and Xiaoyuan on the side also showed an incredible look.
"Mr. Xiao, can you elaborate?"
Xiao Chen said calmly: "Seriously, what your dad has is not a disease, but a poison!"
"Poison?"
"Well, voodoo poison originated from the Miao border. Gu refiners control a person's life, death, and even will by controlling a parasite to invade the human body."
"Who is so vicious as to frame my father?" Huo Qingsong was furious.
"Obviously, he is the person closest to your father and the person he trusts the most."
"The person closest to you, the person you trust the most?"
"This kind of poison has been lurking in your father for more than ten years. Every once in a while, someone needs to add special nutrients to it. Otherwise, it will go crazy and get out of control, and your father will be dead long ago."
Xiao Chen noticed Huo Lin's condition when he was in Lanning City, but because he knew that the person who murdered Huo Lin must be someone close to Huo Lin, he didn't explain it directly.
After all, it’s not easy to make rash judgments about family matters.
And at that time, it was difficult to treat Huolin.
Poison cannot be treated by medical skills alone, it requires special methods.
"According to Mr. Xiao, this person doesn't want to kill my father?"
"Of course, he just uses this method to control your dad and plan something. He doesn't want your dad to die before the goal is achieved!"
Xiao Chen said, paused, and then said:
"Or maybe he still cares about your father's family affection!"
"Family love?" Huo Qingsong suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, does he mean my eldest brother?"
