Today's train was quite late. Huo Xiao and Si Wu arrived in Peiping in the evening.
However, being late for a train is nothing new, it is quite normal.
Nine times out of ten this is true.
Si Liu came to the station to pick them up. When he saw their figures, his eyes flashed with pain.
Huo Xiao never saw this small detail. He put his coat on his arm and said, "What happened?"
Si Liu didn't expect Huo Xiao to come back. He actually hoped that Master Xiao would not come back. If he came back, I'm afraid many things would be irreversible.
But at this time, no matter how much he said, it was useless. As long as Master Xiao set foot on the land of Peiping again, everything would be different.
He was unable to save it and could only watch things develop for the worst. Not only was he powerless, he could only move forward with the trend.
He said: "Nothing."
Huo Xiao stopped and looked at him and asked, "Nothing happened, so you would give us such a warning?"
He frowned slightly and looked at Si Liu in disbelief.
Si Liu knew that Zuo Bai would not be able to explain it without a good explanation. He said seriously: "Actually, I think Master Zi Qi discovered the unusual behavior we had in the hospital. I'm worried that there will be problems if you come back rashly, so That’s why I asked you not to come back for the time being. After all, Master Ziqi is the second master’s biological son.”
At this point, Siwu sneered and said, "What about my own son? Who knows that the second master doesn't want to see Master Ziqi? Are we still afraid of him?"
Huo Xiao looked at Siliu, and Siliu was excited, but he still said: "But Master Tingyun refused to come back, and Master Ziqi was obedient, so it's hard to talk about it. It's better for us to be more careful." After all, Marshal Chu is also in Peking now, and I don’t want Master Xiao to come back and make the Second Master more suspicious. If he thinks that Master Xiao and Master Chu are colluding, that would be bad.”
Si Liu tried hard to make Huo Xiao believe him.
If others were like this, Huo Xiao would definitely be suspicious and might have already taken action by now.
But this person is Si Liu. He has been with Huo Xiao for more than ten years, and he is always regarded as a loyal and loyal Si Liu.
So even if Huo Xiao was doubtful for a moment, he quickly calmed down.
He said: "It's always good for you to be cautious, but next time it's not a last resort, you don't need to give a direct warning."
Si Liu felt bitter in his heart and answered yes.
He said: "Should we go back to Huo Mansion or go to the hospital?"
Huo Xiao fell silent and tapped his thigh gently with his fingers. He pondered for a moment and said, "Go back to Huo Mansion first, and wait for ten o'clock to follow the original plan."
Si Liu nodded and turned the car onto the road. The car drove very fast and arrived at Huo's house in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the sky had just darkened, not completely dark yet.
The Huo family is still the same as before, nothing feels wrong.
Huo Xiao asked: "Where is the second master?"
Chapter 46: "Today, little Tang Chun is singing in Rongbaozhai. As you know, the old lady likes his opera the most. The second master accompanied the old lady there."
Huo Xiao nodded. Only when little Tang Chun came to Peking every year would the old lady actually go out to listen to the opera.
If it's other times, don't even think about it.
He said: "Grandma is getting older and is much kinder than before."
For example, she didn't react too violently when Huo Ziqi came back this time. If it had been the case in the past, she would have lost her temper.
Siwu laughed and said, "Yes, but I think the old lady still doesn't like him. It's better to be kind to him than to you!"
Huo Xiao didn't accept the words. Regardless of whether he was friendly or not, Huo Ziqi was the old lady's serious grandson, and he was just the second master's adopted son. He had such a sense of proportion.
Neither the old lady nor Mr. Huo were in the mansion, but Huo Xiao felt that the mansion was quite deserted.
He returned to the room and sat on the sofa, looking at the clock in the room.
Their original plan was to secretly kidnap Miss Chu tonight.
Huo Xiao didn't know if he could succeed in doing this by himself, and he didn't know if Mr. Huo would forgive him if he knew about it. But he really wants to know the truth of the matter. If he doesn't know the truth, he will go crazy.
He had to know, even if he was wrong.
He took a deep breath and smoked one cigarette after another. He didn't know how long he had been smoking, but the pack of cigarettes was gone.
He looked at the empty cigarette box in front of him and shouted: "Siliu, go find me a pack of cigarettes."
There was no reply from Si Liu.
Huo Xiao looked at the door in confusion and said, "Four or six?"
Inexplicably, Huo Xiao suddenly felt that something was not right.
The Huo family gave him a very wrong feeling.
Huo Xiao stood up immediately and rushed to the door. Not only was there no one waiting outside, he didn't even see a maid.
Huo Xiao suddenly felt a chill. He instantly took out his hand and loaded the gun, and carefully looked out from the door.
When I saw this, I was shocked.
There were actually quite a few people in black in the courtyard.
He suddenly understood something, but there was no time to think about more things. He shouted: "Who are you?"
It was quiet outside the door and no one spoke.
Huo Xiao hid himself and aimed outside the door, feeling even more chilled.
He is from the Huo family.
Sure enough, Huo Ziqi walked into the courtyard from nowhere and said, "Master Xiao, you already understand it, right? Why pretend you don't know anything?"
After a pause, Huo Ziqi said: "Huo Xiao is trying to collude with Marshal Chu and his family to annex the Huo family. The second master has an order to clean up the house!"
Huo Xiao shouted: "I didn't!"
In fact, it is no longer important whether he has it or not. What they need at this time is that he has it.
Huo Ziqi: "Huo Xiao, you are actually a failure as a person."
He said slowly: "Did you know? Your subordinates have betrayed you."
His voice was slow, but it was heart-wrenching.
Without thinking, Huo Xiao raised his hand and opened the wooden warehouse outside the window. At this time, he was bound to break through the encirclement. If you are really trapped here. There is only a dead end.
Whether you have been abandoned or betrayed, these... are no longer important at this life-and-death moment.
The sound of a wooden warehouse sounded, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Huo Xiao is just the leader of Mucang. How long can he hold on? Soon there will be nothing left.
He leaned against the wall, breathing deeply.
"boom… "
The wooden warehouse opened randomly and hit Huo Xiao on the shoulder. He frowned tightly and took out the dagger.
Such is the end of the road.
Huo Xiao felt very desolate. He had paid so much for the Huo family for so many years... but what he got was to kill them all!
"Master Xiao, let me save you!"
There was a burst of shouting, and four or five people rushed up from behind carrying two wooden poles. The Huo family never thought that someone was rushing up from here, and they were a little confused for a moment.
The scene was in chaos. Huo Ziqi quickly rushed to the door of Huo Xiao's room and kicked it open.
Siwu pulled the trigger on Huo Ziqi, and he dodged neatly.
With a roll, Huo Ziqi entered the room, and almost instantly, he slipped out the two pocket Brownings in his hands.
Huo Xiao didn't know what he meant by this, but since Huo Ziqi gave him the opportunity, Huo Xiao naturally took it.
He rolled and snatched the two Brownings away, then stepped forward and pressed Huo Ziqi's shoulders, holding him back.
"Stop it all!"
Siwu was already injured at this time, and he was covered in blood. He watched Huo Xiao kidnapped Huo Ziqi and moved closer to him.
Huo Xiao said: "Stop it!"
Huo Xiao slowly moved towards the door, the two of them were still some distance away from the others.
Huo Ziqi whispered: "There is a car at No. 23 Xiangyang Street. It leaves Peking and transfers to Tianjin. There is a boat to Shanghai the day after tomorrow. Don't come back after you leave."
After explaining in one sentence, he said nothing else.
Siwu finally approached Huo Xiao.
"boom… "
There was another wooden warehouse. The wooden warehouse in Huo Xiao's hand suddenly fell down. He turned back to look at the person who opened the wooden warehouse. This person was none other than Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo rushed back from outside. He looked at Huo Xiao coldly and said, "Anyone who betrays the Huo family will die!"
Then there was another wooden warehouse.
Huo Xiao spit out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground on one knee.
Huo Ziqi moved his hand slightly. Huo Xiao saw his small movement and rushed forward quickly, capturing Huo Ziqi again.
He said: "Father, if you do anything again, I will kill your son. This is your biological son. Is it possible that you don't even care about your biological son's life?"
He sneered, "If you don't care about your own son, how can you care about others? What future do others have if they follow you?"
He said coldly, and then another wooden stick was pressed against Huo Ziqi, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Otherwise I will kill your son!"
Huo Ziqi never said a word. He looked at Mr. Huo calmly, as if he was not the one being kidnapped.
"Do you think you can escape? Even if you leave, you will still die? Why do you have to persist like this!"
Mr. Huo sneered: "Did you know... Miss Chu has died in the hospital?"
He smiled: "Your people killed him!"
After a pause, he continued: "Also... Marshal Chu was also ambushed. His life and death are unknown now. The people of the Chu family will only hate you! Do you think they will let you go?"
Mr. Huo laughed coldly.
He said word by word: "These are all you, you did them all, do you understand?"
Huo Xiao: "If I didn't do it, I didn't do it! There's no need to blame someone if you want to!"
He looked at the foster father in front of him, and for a moment it seemed as if he didn't know this man at all.
He came back precisely because he believed in him, but the facts proved that he was wrong.
It also proved that... Siliu betrayed him.
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
"boom… "
A car crashed in like this. Si Liu sat in the driver's seat and shouted: "Master Xiao, Si Wu, get in the car!"
