My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 840 Night Detective
Zhong Yi looked at Huo Xingzhou who was standing there without moving, and it was obvious that he was not welcoming him.
He had something important to do today, so he asked, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "I thought you were just here to deliver something and would leave after that. After all, Young Master Zhong is very busy with his daily affairs. The Zhong family is in such a mess, how can you still waste time here?"
"It's not a waste of time to come to the Huo family." Zhong Yi smiled fakely, "Mr. Huo, I miss you very much."
"Ah."
Huo Xingzhou sneered sarcastically.
Qiao Xi knew that this would happen when they got together, so she said, "Let's talk inside, it's cold outside."
"Okay." Zhong Yi looked very obedient, and he listened to what Qiao Xi said.
He entered the villa earlier than Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou squeezed Qiao Xi's hand and said, "You haven't recovered yet, go upstairs and have a good rest. Zhong Yi must have something important to tell you when he comes here at this time."
"it is good."
Qiao Xi was not trying to be brave. She was forcing herself to come out and see Cheng Han off.
I felt weak all over and was sweating.
The two walked into the living room, and Qiao Xi said softly, "I'll go up first."
"Can you do it yourself?"
"Okay, I won't joke about my body, just have a good chat and don't argue."
Qiao Xi nodded and greeted Zhong Yi who was sitting on the sofa and went upstairs.
Huo Xingzhou sat in the living room and poured a glass of water for Zhong Yi.
"If you don't want water, I'll have someone prepare some drinks or wine?"
"Don't be so polite, just drink some water." Zhong Yi took a sip from the cup, "The water in your house tastes better."
"Then you can pack a few tons to take with you when you leave."
Zhong Yi put down the water cup: "No need, I can just come over if I want to drink. Anyway, the villa is very close to you now."
"Don't you want to live closer to the Zhong family's old house?"
The two seemed to be just greeting each other and chatting, but the atmosphere was a little tense.
Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao squatted at the staircase on the second floor and peeked. They felt a tense atmosphere. There was something fishy in these few ordinary words.
Huo Sijiao was still a little ashamed: "Can we eavesdrop here?"
"What's wrong with that? If it's really confidential, they can go back to the study to discuss it. If we get first-hand information, we can tell Qiao Xi earlier."
"Yes, I'll tell my sister-in-law if I have any news."
The two adjusted their posture and squatted stealthily again.
Huo Xingzhou downstairs said straight to the point: "What are you doing here today?"
Zhong Yi took out a jewelry box: "A gift for Qiao Xi, congratulations on finally getting what she wanted."
It was that familiar pearl jewelry box.
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "I know you sent someone to investigate my affairs at the auction house, so I won't hide it. This is my promise to Qiao Xi. I promised her to give her a pearl. Please pass it on."
Now that you've bought something, it's better to give it away.
If Huo Xingzhou didn't want him to give it to Qiao Xi, then he would ask him to pass it on in another way.
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes, raised his lips and said, "Promise?"
He picked up the jewelry box and opened it to reveal a large pearl. He sneered and said, "Such a large pearl can be ground into powder. Qiao Xi must be very happy. After all, pearl powder is also a medicinal material. It has the effects of anti-inflammatory, hemostasis, detoxification and tissue regeneration."
Zhong Yi's expression turned colder: "You really know a lot."
"Maybe I am more talented. Qiao Xi and I are a perfect match. You have been with Mr. Cheng for so many years, but it seems to be in vain. You haven't even learned some basic medical knowledge."
As Huo Xingzhou spoke, he began to peel the fruit.
His fingers were long and slender, and he looked very nimble holding the fruit knife. He was ready to cut the fruit and hand it over to Qiao Xi.
"Huo Xingzhou." Zhong Yi was a little angry, "I came here to talk to you about the Pei family."
"Well, I finally said it."
Huo Xingzhou peeled the apple perfectly, cut it into pieces, and placed it in a glass bowl. He looked a little careless, looking up at Zhong Yi from time to time, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
"The Pei family is preparing to deliver a batch of goods at the Thirteen Bay Wharf."
"The Pei family imports and exports a lot of goods every day, which is normal. The Thirteen Bay Wharf belongs to the Pei family."
"Huo Xingzhou, there might be something wrong with that batch of goods. The Pei family is suspected of smuggling, and there is something wrong with the goods! If they can be caught directly, it is estimated that they will suffer a lot of losses."
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, "What's the point of looking for me?"
"Lend me some men."
Zhong Yi didn't have enough people around him, and he was having trouble coping with both sides.
"No loan."
"Just tell me what your conditions are."
Huo Xingzhou took another pear and cut it, "Get married soon."
Zhong Yi leaned back on the sofa, knowing that he was narrow-minded: "I am not a marriage advocate."
"Oh? Zhou Yu once said that, and now he's begging Shu Xue to marry him."
Zhong Yi said stubbornly: "I am different from him."
He thought Huo Xingzhou was joking. How could that day ever come to pass?
Huo Xingzhou didn't argue with him for too long, but said, "I'll give you twenty people."
"Too little. You know I almost lost my life at the Thirteenth Bay Pier."
"They are all elites who can fight ten people at once. They can protect your life."
"Thank you very much."
Zhong Yi plans to visit Shisanwan Wharf tonight to see if there is anything fishy going on. He also wants to confirm the information given by Feng Nanxi.
In this world, only Qiao Xi is worthy of his 100% trust. They are friends with whom he has entrusted his life.
Huo Xingzhou kindly reminded: "Don't alert the enemy."
"I know. I just went to check for information. If this is true, I will definitely make a big fuss. I want to see what the Pei family will do. I am very happy to think that I can cause trouble for them."
The Shisanwan Wharf is a very important source of income for the Pei family.
Once something goes wrong, it becomes interesting.
"I hope you can succeed. Lao Chen, go and help Master Zhong to check the number of people."
"Thank you. I'm leaving now."
Zhong Yi stood up and followed Lao Chen out. The Huo family's personnel would naturally not be exposed to the public, and only Huo Xingzhou and Lao Chen could mobilize them.
Zhong Yi took twenty people from Lao Chen and left.
Lao Chen returned to the living room and replied.
Huo Xingzhou was still cutting fruit and said, "Send some more people to keep an eye on him and see what he did tonight. His source of information is a bit strange. The Pei family is cautious in doing things. How could such a big news be known by outsiders?"
"Yes."
……
The night is rich.
There was no moon tonight, not even a single star was out. The prosperity and bustle of the imperial capital was never affected by the weather.
The Shisanwan Wharf was brightly lit, and the port was handling millions of tons of cargo.
There are hundreds of cars parked in the parking lot not far from the pier.
There were people walking around from time to time, and it was no different from usual.
