I can't be a cannon fodder
Chapter 77 Accidental Discovery
The comic scene this time seems to be a study room, with two men sitting on the sofa talking.
One of them Xiao Xingxing recognized was Xiang Yi who had only met once today.
"Dad, are you sure? Isn't it too risky to touch Xiao Shi at this time?"
Another older man, who resembled Xiang Yi in half, seemed very happy, holding a cigar in his hand.Xiao Xingxing saw a line of writing above his head.
"Adventures bring high rewards. This is an opportunity. Since he wants to do something, I am of course willing to support it. It doesn't matter to us who owns the Xiao family, but he promised to cooperate with us. When the time comes, the two of us will join forces and we will be able to Take 80.00% of the real estate in Hangzhou, why don't I agree?"
"But in case it fails..."
"It doesn't matter to us if we fail, but he is really ruthless enough to kill his elder brother."
The more Xiao Xingxing watched, the more excited she became, she hurriedly scrolled down, but unfortunately...
It became blank again, she was ejected from the dream, and opened her eyes.
"That should be Xiang Yi and his father." Xiao Xingxing washed his face and began to analyze. "The Xiang family refers to him as the second uncle."
Because his father only has one younger brother, Xiao Qinghe.
"He can do anything to his elder brother..." Xiao Xingxing began to tremble all over, she clenched her fist hard, and continued to talk to herself through gritted teeth.
"It's the second uncle. He must have joined forces with the Xiang family to attack Xiao, and then found someone to deliberately fake a car accident and kill his parents."
Xiao Xingxing raised his head so that the tears would not flow out, that's great...
Her second uncle killed her parents, and the second uncle's daughter drugged her.Their family forced their own family to die, stepping on the lives of their parents and their own lives, and they didn't know if they were afraid of retribution.
Xiao Xingxing doesn't know if there will be retribution, but she knows that from now on, she will avenge her parents and herself.
The next day, Xiao Xingxing asked for leave, and then told Aunt Fang and Zaizai that she was going to the Imperial Capital for a two-day business trip. Aunt Fang and Zaizai had no doubts, and asked her to bring back special products.
Xiao Xingxing didn't know that Huo Zhourong called her as soon as her plane took off, and when she found that she couldn't get through, she asked Zai Zai on WeChat, and Zai Zai said that her mother was on a business trip to the imperial capital.
But what Huo Zhourong got from Lucky Rose Company was that Xiao Xingxing took three days off.
"Go and check which flight she took." Huo Zhourong immediately asked Assistant Qin to check.
Soon, Assistant Qin found out that Xiao Xingxing took the plane to Hangzhou today.
"In half an hour, Miss Xiao should be on the ground." Assistant Qin looked at him, "Boss..."
"Book the fastest flight and go to Hangzhou." He heard from Aunt Fang that Xiao Xingxing hated Hangzhou very much. When he went abroad, he took the ashes of the two old people with him, so that he didn't even have to go back to sweep the graves.
But now she took the initiative to go to Hangzhou, Huo Zhourong felt that Xiao Xingxing must have discovered something related to Xiao's back then.
When Huo Zhourong hurried to the airport, Xiao Xingxing had already arrived in Hangzhou. She rented a car and went to Zhuangzhen, which was more than 80 kilometers away from Hangzhou. There is only one legacy left, a small yard.
Xiao Xingxing went to visit his grandfather's grave first, and met an old man in the village who recognized her on the way. Seeing her face, he asked who she was.
Xiao Xingxing said his identity, and the other party obviously remembered her grandfather, so he asked kindly.
"What is Nong doing there? The dilapidated old house of Nong's family is uninhabitable. If you want to move back, you might as well buy a new house. It's cheaper than renovating the old house."
Xiao Xingxing smiled: "I can't stop, I just want to go back and have a look."
Grandpa Xiao's old house is at the westernmost part of the town. The town is not big, and Xiao Xingxing walked along the alley for 10 minutes to get there.The mottled courtyard door was pitted and riddled with moths. Although there was a lock on the door, she pushed the lock hard and it broke.
Xiao Xingxing picked up the lock, the inside was full of rust, and what had been eroded by the wind and rain had already become hollow.She hung the lock and stepped into the yard.
The yard was full of weeds, and because no one took care of them, they grew wildly to the height of half a person.This small courtyard is not big, that is, more than 40 square meters.Xiao Xingxing came here for the first time, and she actually has no feelings for the house.
It's just that she suddenly wanted to take a look, or she fantasized in her heart that maybe the spirit of grandpa in the sky would help her avenge her and give her guidance.
The house was even more dilapidated, and even the four walls were not complete. You could see that it was full of messy stones and a lot of broken wood.
Xiao Xingxing walked in, vaguely judging from the shape of the wood what kind of furniture was placed here.Miraculously, she found an almost complete bed on the south side of the house.
"This should be the bedroom." Xiao Xingxing walked over carefully. The wooden bed was well preserved, but it was full of insect eyes, and a few small wild flowers grew in the middle.
"Don't say it, it looks pretty good when you take a picture like this." Xiao Xingxing laughed at himself, thinking that there shouldn't be any miracles left by his grandfather here.
She turned around to look again, but accidentally kicked her foot against the bedpost.
With a click, the pillar cracked, and the entire wooden bed tilted to one side.There was a sudden snap on the other side, as if something had fallen.
Xiao Xingxing bent down to look, and found an iron box by the corner of the bed.
She picked up the box, and the five-star red flag was painted on the square box, so she could tell what year it was at a glance.The box was well preserved. When Xiao Xingxing opened it, there was a stack of food stamps and a piece of yellowed paper inside.
Carefully taking out the paper, Xiao Xingxing glanced at it.

When Huo Zhourong arrived in Hangzhou, he immediately retrieved the monitor of the airport access, and found that Xiao Xingxing had gone to the car rental company inside the airport. Assistant Qin ran back after inquiring about it.
"Boss, Miss Xiao rented a car, and the boss said she was going to Zhuangzhen."
Huo Zhourong frowned, Zhuangzhen is the hometown of the Xiao family, and now there is no one there, what is Xiao Xingxing doing there...
"She rented it for a few days."
"Say you'll be back tonight."
Huo Zhourong gave the car rental company a sum of money and told them that if Xiao Xingxing came to return the car, he asked them to call him, and then tried to hold him back until he came.
Of course the car rental company agreed, and Huo Zhourong was resting at the hotel near the airport. It's not that he never thought about going to Zhuangzhen to find someone now, but he was afraid of missing out with Xiao Xingxing.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, the car rental company said that Xiao Xingxing had come to return the car, and told him to hurry there.When Huo Zhourong arrived, Xiao Xingxing was arguing with the car rental company.
"I agreed to pay 600 a day, but now you want me to pay 2000. This is extortion, and I want to complain to you." After finishing speaking, the staff who was still confident just now had a flattering face.
"Boss, you're here. I'll leave it for you. You can do whatever you want!"
Xiao Xingxing turned his head to look.
"How did you come?"
Huo Zhourong stared at her for a few seconds, Xiao Xingxing smiled, and jumped twice on purpose: "Look, there is no broken arm or broken leg."
Seeing that she was still smiling, Huo Zhourong pursed his lips: "Come here."
"I'll come back to visit grandpa's grave." Xiao Xingxing walked over, "You're such an up-and-coming chasing after him, what's wrong?"
Huo Zhourong: "But you told Zaizai that you were going on a business trip, and you told the company that you asked for leave. Do you think I can rest assured?"
"OK! OK!" Xiao Xingxing raised his hand, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Have you eaten yet?" Huo Zhourong asked her.
As soon as he said Xiao Xingxing's face collapsed: "No, I didn't eat at noon, let's find a place to eat first."
Huo Zhourong bought her a cup of hot milk tea and asked her to cushion it first, then drove directly into the city and went to Huo's hotel.Secretary Qin was waiting at the door and saw them hurrying over.
"Miss Xiao!"
Xiao Xingxing smiled embarrassedly: "Please run for a while."
"Where is it, don't be polite to me." After Assistant Qin finished speaking, he looked at Huo Zhourong, "Boss, the room and dinner are ready."
Huo Zhourong took the room card: "Go back to Lucheng by yourself, don't worry about me."
"Okay, boss!"
Xiao Xingxing discovered that the room was a large suite, with two bedrooms facing each other and their own bathrooms.She originally wanted to say to open another room, but when she saw Huo Zhourong's face, she was scared.
It's like... very angry.
There was a table of dinner in the living room, still steaming, obviously freshly prepared.
"Go take a shower and change clothes, let's eat first." Huo Zhourong handed her the box.
Xiao Xingxing swallowed, although she was very hungry, but she was covered with dirt after wandering around the old house for a long time.
"I'll take a shower first." She carried the suitcase into the room and checked the door lock specially.Don't worry, I put another stool on top.Then I took a quick shower. The large bathtub in the bathroom faces the hotel's artificial lake, which is very beautiful.
"I'll take a bath when I come back from dinner." Xiao Xingxing rubbed her shoulders, it was the first time she had driven for such a long time by herself.
After taking a shower, changed clothes and returned to the living room, Huo Zhourong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window talking on the phone, saw her come out and hung up the phone.
"It's Shen Lang, yesterday you and Ning Meng..."
"Ah, that's right!" Xiao Xingxing didn't bother to look at Weibo today, and almost forgot about Jiang Luo. When she opened Weibo, she found that Jiang Luo's trending searches had disappeared.
Also, if she hung up for so long, she would probably go crazy.
"The video involved the Deng family. This time they were very angry. Jiang Luo couldn't take care of herself." Huo Zhourong served her a bowl of porridge, "Shen Lang and I will be watching, Jiang Luo now knows Ning Meng's identity, no Dare to do anything to her."
Xiao Xingxing nodded, took a sip of seafood porridge, and heard Huo Zhourong ask again.
"Now I can talk about you, what are you doing back home?"
"...Let me finish my meal first!" Xiao Xingxing said with a playful smile.
Huo Zhourong looked at her for a few seconds, then sighed: "Eat, slow down."
Half of the man's face was hidden in the light and shadow. He was handsome and quiet. He sat there with a feeling of reassurance and relaxation.
Xiao Xingxing suddenly realized that he was getting more and more courageous in front of Huo Zhourong.Not only Huo Zhourong, she dared to tear herself apart with Jiang Luo, scolded Xiao Shuyao, dared to do this and that, was she really not afraid?
No, she didn't think she had the courage.
But why?Is it because I feel Huo Zhourong subconsciously?Knowing that no matter what he does, he will stand behind her and help her unconditionally.
Xiao Xingxing bit her lip, wondering if she didn't want to think about it, now that she thinks about it... Suddenly, her conscience realizes that she is not a thing, so she puts down her chopsticks.
"I found this in my grandfather's old house." She took out the piece of paper from her pocket, "Look at it."
Huo Zhourong took it over and opened it. It was an adoption certificate from a long time ago.
One of them Xiao Xingxing recognized was Xiang Yi who had only met once today.
"Dad, are you sure? Isn't it too risky to touch Xiao Shi at this time?"
Another older man, who resembled Xiang Yi in half, seemed very happy, holding a cigar in his hand.Xiao Xingxing saw a line of writing above his head.
"Adventures bring high rewards. This is an opportunity. Since he wants to do something, I am of course willing to support it.
