When Young Master Shen was practicing hard in seclusion, Yi Wude was not idle either.
Following Shen Yingnian's instructions, he embarked on a mission to save (fool) the Huo family.
With the information provided by Shen Yan, Yi Wude basically knew the situation of the Huo family, so he targeted the old man of the Huo family, Huo Mingyu's grandfather, as his first target.
As we all know, in urban costume novels, there will always be a powerful family father, and this old man is often seriously ill or unlucky. When he is desperate, he will meet the protagonist, and then the protagonist unintentionally reveals some small skills, which makes him This old man was so shocked that he was willing to kneel down and lick her.
After the protagonist helps the old man get out of trouble (this process is often accompanied by doubts from the old man’s relatives and ostracism from his peers, which pave the way for the pretense to be slapped in the face), then the old man and the entire family will act as backers and supporters for the protagonist. attendant.
In the original novel, the old man of the Huo family suffered from a very strange and difficult disease that even the world's top medical methods could not treat. As a result, he was doing morning exercises in the park one day and met Xiao Chen who was practicing boxing. Forged this bloody fate.
Then Mr. Huo introduced Xiao Chen to the children of the family. Faced with the doubts and suspicions of the children of the Huo family, Xiao Chen used Feng Shui to point out the fortune problems of Huo Mingyu and others, and took action to resolve them. Only then did the entire Huo family general Xiao Chen Chen Shi was treated as a first-class guest.
Now it is naturally not easy for Yi Wude to replace Xiao Chen's position in the Huo family.
But Young Master Shen had already thoughtfully paved the way for Yi Wude.
While Xiao Chen was in detention, Shen Yingnian had people spread information about Xiao Chen's crime to the outside world. Now this scandal is well known in the powerful circles of Yunzhou.
A wealthy family like the Huo family attaches great importance to reputation. Now that their distinguished guest has become the target of public criticism in Yunzhou, he will definitely have some thoughts in his heart even if he doesn't say it.
No, Yi Wude waited in the park where Mr. Huo did his morning exercises every morning, and found that Mr. Huo was really worried.
This gave Yi Wude an opportunity to take advantage of.
As an experienced magician, Yi Wude would certainly not be so stupid as to take the initiative to find him.
In a word: The law should not be taught lightly, the Tao should not be sold cheaply, the doctor should not knock on the door, and the teacher should not be in your way, only if you ask for it!
But he couldn't just stay at home and wait. He had to do something, such as throwing a fishing bait for the Huo family.
So Master Yi Wude set up a stall in the park.
A fortune-telling stall.
After a few days of running the stall, Mr. Huo would pass by his stall.
The first time he passed by, Mr. Huo only glanced at him, and Yi Wude didn't say hello. He just left an impression and seemed familiar.
The second time he passed by, he saw Yi Wude reading people's fortune-telling. Mr. Huo stopped and listened for a few words, and began to pay attention with suspicion.
The third time he passed by, when he saw yesterday's customer coming back to thank Yi Wude for complimenting him, Mr. Huo finally became interested and felt that this magician seemed to be really capable.
Repeatedly, the fourth time, the fifth time... After observing it for several days, Mr. Huo was tempted.
Early that morning, seeing Mr. Huo standing in front of the stall for a long time without leaving, Yi Wude checked the heat and said with a smile: "This old gentleman seems to have encountered something troublesome recently, right?"
Mr. Huo was immediately moved, but as he was a stranger, he was still wary and said with a smile, "Master, what do you think?"
This is what it means to take the Yi Wude test.
Yi Wude has been in the circles of powerful people for so long, so he naturally knows that it is not easy to win the trust of these high-ranking officials, but he also knows how to trick these high-ranking officials.
So, Yi Wude asked Mr. Huo to sit on the chair in front of the stall. He looked at Mr. Huo's face carefully, then put some ink on it with a brush and handed it over, saying: "Mr., please write the word 'heart' on the paper." ”
Mr. Huo couldn't help but look at Yi Wude deeply.
Since learning Xiao Chen's Feng Shui physiognomy, Mr. Huo has also done a lot of research on this aspect.
What Feng Shui pays attention to is the word "heart".
Xiao Chen once said that if you believe in Feng Shui, you will have it. If you don't believe it, you will not have it. The great truth lies in your heart.
Yi Wude proposed this method, which naturally made Mr. Huo take a high look.
So, he followed his instructions and wrote a big word 'heart' on the paper.
Yi Wude picked up the paper, read it carefully for a while, pointed to the point above the word 'heart', and said: "You wrote this point relatively outside, which shows that the troubles the old gentleman has encountered recently should be From outsiders.”
This sentence undoubtedly touched Mr. Huo's heart.
That's right, the troubles he encountered recently came from outsiders, and a very important outsider: Xiao Chen!
To be honest, Mr. Huo values Xiao Chen very much. On the one hand, Xiao Chen has great kindness to him and the Huo family. On the other hand, he feels that with Xiao Chen's character and strength, he will do great things sooner or later and interact with Xiao Chen. A good alliance may be able to push the Huo family to a higher level!
However, the recent farce caused by Xiao Chen made him waver.
His grandson Huo Mingyu told him the whole story.
After learning about it, Mr. Huo's first reaction was not to curse Shen Yingnian for being despicable and cunning, but to feel disappointed and sorry for Xiao Chen.
Like Huo Mingyu, it was difficult for Mr. Huo to understand that Xiao Chen, who had always been so powerful and omnipotent, could actually make such a stupid mistake.
If Xiao Chen correctly predicted Nie Ruoyun's position and rescued the person, it means that Xiao Chen is indeed capable, but the problem is that Xiao Chen missed the opportunity and was invited to drink tea by the policeman. This is clearly seeking death. !
The Huo family suddenly realized that Xiao Chen's abilities were not that impressive.
However, no one is perfect, and it is normal to make mistakes occasionally.
But what Xiao Chen did after his release made Mr. Huo question Xiao Chen's character.
For the sake of a woman who has no relatives and no connection, he shouts, kills and kills people at every turn. This is simply a thug who regards human life as nothing!
You must know that Mr. Huo has been upright and charitable throughout his life.
Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of the Shen family, which had a shady family tradition.
Therefore, he admired the upright and selfless Xiao Chen very much.
It was not until this incident that Mr. Huo discovered that his understanding of Xiao Chen was biased.
Xiao Chen's so-called integrity and selflessness seemed to be an appearance only in the downwind situation.
Once you encounter headwinds and suffer some setbacks, the dark side of your personality will be revealed.
In view of this, he, Huo Mingyu and other clan members began to re-evaluate their relationship with Xiao Chen, especially since negative information about Xiao Chen was circulating throughout Yunzhou.
For Mr. Huo, who cherishes his feathers and keeps himself clean, Xiao Chen, a popular guest, has suddenly become a hot potato!
How to deal with the relationship with Xiao Chen has become his worry in the past few days.
Seeing the dark clouds on Mr. Huo's face, Yi Wude knew that his trick had initially worked, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "There are also the strokes and strokes on both sides of the 'heart'. The strength is the same, but it is difficult to stretch. It seems that the old man's What's going on in your mind? It must be a dilemma, right?"
"... Master, please don't hesitate to teach me." Mr. Huo's eyes lit up and his tone became respectful.
Upon seeing this, Yi Wude knew that the fish was hooked.
