After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.
Chapter 372: Are You an Idiot?
Assistant Chen couldn't help but frown at Xu Chengan's disdainful tone.
"Cheng An, don't say that again." Assistant Chen said, "Second Master wouldn't want to hear you describe Second Wife like that."
"Humph, do you think the Second Master will punish me because of a woman?" Xu Chengan raised his chin slightly, "What is her identity and status? She just married into the Second Master's family. She might just be a small thing."
Xu Chengan snorted with disdain, "I think you are just too cautious. You don't think that the Second Master has been without a woman for all these years, and now that he finally has one, this woman will be able to turn the tables."
Assistant Chen's brows furrowed deeper as he listened.
If Huo Jingcheng heard what Xu Chengan said, he would probably be sent abroad overnight and never come back.
However, Assistant Chen also understood Xu Chengan's character.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that I was exaggerating and trying to scare him.
Thinking of this, Assistant Chen stopped trying to persuade him. He just looked at Xu Chengan deeply and said meaningfully, "When you really see him, I hope you can still say these words."
Xu Chengan waved his hand casually and didn't take it to heart.
"I would say that even to her face."
While the two were talking, the sound of other people talking was heard outside the house.
"Well, I've found the corresponding person."
"Is the other party targeting Wu Ma because of me?" Zhu Jin asked.
Huo Jingcheng shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. According to the current investigation, the other party is a large group that counterfeits cultural relics and luxury goods. They kidnapped Wu Ma in order to make him work for them."
Wu Ma's craftsmanship stood out in this competition.
Although the craftsmanship of many craftsmen in this competition is eye-catching, most of those craftsmen have already become famous overseas, and many of them even have bodyguards and families and forces that protect them.
Only Wu Ma is the only one who has no one to care about her and no one to protect her.
He is a newcomer who can be bullied and has no one to protect him, and Zhu Jin, who works with him, has the same identity.
Two newcomers without any identity or background would be too eye-catching in such a competition and too easy to attract the attention of those with bad intentions.
If Zhu Jin had not been picked up and dropped off by Huo Jingcheng and others every time, there would probably have been big problems and troubles.
"But..." Zhu Jin paused.
If that were the case, why would the person who was captured specifically ask to see me?
"At this point, it is not possible to determine what the true situation is."
Huo Jingcheng didn't want to find an excuse to fool her. "See if Assistant Chen has any other investigation results."
"Um……"
As she spoke, Zhu Jin opened the door and pushed Huo Jingcheng into the house. An unfriendly look fell directly on her, causing Zhu Jin to subconsciously take a half step back.
The way this person looked at him was like a hunter looking at his prey, which inexplicably made people feel uncomfortable.
"Xiao Xu?"
"Second Master." Xu Cheng'an instantly raised a brilliant smile, making Zhu Jin doubt that his feeling about the other party's gaze just now was an illusion.
Xu Chengan took two steps at a time and walked straight forward to give Huo Jingcheng a big hug.
Assistant Chen would never dare to do this, and only Xu Chengan would dare to do this.
Huo Jingcheng patted the other person's back like a brother next door, "I'm glad you're back."
"Of course, I'm here to help Second Master." Xu Cheng'an raised his chin slightly, like a proud little peacock, "Over the years, I have learned a lot abroad that can help Second Master."
"Just like this time, I helped Brother Chen Chen solve the public relations crisis abroad." As he said this, Xu Chengan turned around and looked at Assistant Chen proudly.
Assistant Chen nodded, looking at Xu Chengan with a bit of doting in his eyes, "Yes. Chengan is much more mature now than before."
When Xu Chengan heard this, his fox tail almost reached the sky.
Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Not bad. These years of classes have not been in vain."
"That's right. Second Master, I can help you now." Xu Chengan said.
The meaning of his words was obvious, he hoped he could return to Huo Jingcheng.
"You stay here first." Huo Jingcheng said.
Xu Chengan was stunned, "Second Master..."
"We will have overseas cooperation and contacts with Smith and others. For overseas, I believe you should be the most suitable person."
The unquestionable words made Xu Chengan purse his lips and swallow the rebuttal and other words he wanted to say.
He knew that this was Huo Jingcheng's decision and he couldn't make him change it.
"Yes." Xu Chengan's tone was a little dull when he answered, as if he couldn't muster much interest.
After explaining Xu Chengan's matter, Huo Jingcheng looked at Assistant Chen in front of him and asked, "Are there any new results in the investigation of that matter?"
Assistant Chen came to his senses immediately, "We found that the people who kidnapped the Wu craftsman and the Wu Ma craftsman we finally found and captured seemed to be different people."
Not the same kind of people?
Zhu Jin was immediately attracted by this sentence.
"Tell me more details." Huo Jingcheng said.
"Yes."
Assistant Chen retrieved the information and content he had found, "We found out that the criminal gang kidnapped the hemp craftsmen, and we also 'contacted' that group of people. They said that the person we arrested now has nothing to do with them."
As he spoke, Assistant Chen sent out the audio recording of the conversation with the other party.
The recording has been processed through voice change, but the content of the recording can still be heard clearly.
"I'm sorry, Huo. We didn't know that this craftsman was related to you. If we knew, we would never touch him. We will take the corresponding responsibility for the trouble we have caused you this time, and we also hope that you can forgive our reckless behavior."
He was humble and polite, and didn't seem like the type of person who would kidnap someone or do something illegal.
"So, there are two groups of people?" Zhu Jin asked in order to confirm his inner thoughts.
Assistant Chen was about to nod when a slightly harsh voice came from the side.
"You're asking such a simple question again. Do you really have a brain?"
The hostile voice made Zhu Jin turn his head and look at the stranger.
The other party's hostility towards him was so strong that it was difficult to ignore.
"Xiao Xu." Assistant Chen hurriedly pulled Xu Cheng'an's sleeve, "Yes, there should be two groups of people who kidnapped the black hemp craftsmen this time. So far, we have arrested the group behind them."
"Are the people behind also the ones who attacked Wu Ma?" Zhu Jin asked.
Assistant Chen nodded, "That person is still unwilling to say anything at the moment."
Assistant Chen looked at Huo Jingcheng and said, "Mr. Smith said that if you give him three days, he will be able to give you an answer."
