The husband I got is actually the heir to a wealthy family

"What's the matter?" It was rare that Huo Beichen needed his help, so Zhao Yu immediately became interested.

Huo Beichen paused for a moment before continuing, "I want you to help me find out about Zeng Shijin."

"That man, he betrayed you and ran away. There has been no news of him for so many years. Why do you suddenly think of him again? Beichen, has something happened?"

Zhao Yu was very surprised when he heard Huo Beichen asking about Zeng Shijin.

Back then, Zeng Shijin, who was Huo Beichen's right-hand man, cheated Huo Beichen on a project. If Huo Beichen had not reacted quickly at that time, the Huo Group would not exist today.

The Huo family, and even the Huo family, would be destroyed by that sudden change, and would have no chance of becoming the head of the major families in the capital today.

Thinking of what happened back then, Zhao Yu is still frightened. Fortunately, Huo Beichen was so good to Zeng Shijin and treated him as his own uncle. He didn't expect that man to forget their past friendship and repay kindness with enmity, betraying him without hesitation.

Hearing the slightly nervous inquiry, Huo Beichen said calmly: "Nothing happened, it's just that Zeng Shijin's son Zeng Xiaoqiang came to me during this period and said that his father was not missing, but had been executed by me a long time ago."

"Thinking about what happened back then, I think Zeng Shijin's betrayal of me is not as simple as I thought before. Zeng Xiaoqiang finding me at this time is not that simple either. I want to investigate it thoroughly."

Zhao Yu reacted quickly: "You suspect that Zeng Shijin's past events, including Zeng Xiaoqiang's current visit to you, were all manipulated by someone in secret?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, I was so good to Zeng Shijin back then. There's no reason for him to betray me." Huo Beichen agreed with Zhao Yu's words.

"I know what to do." Zhao Yu understood what Huo Beichen meant and immediately agreed to his request.

The person who manipulated this matter must be someone extraordinary. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Huo Beichen did not want to use his own people to investigate the matter.

Due to the nature of his job, Zhao Yu often assists the police's forensic doctors in completing some tasks. Over time, he has developed a good relationship with the people in the police station.

If Zhao Yu investigates the matter, it will not arouse suspicion from others.

"Beichen, Zeng Shijin has been missing for so many years, he may have passed away. It is not certain what happened back then can be found out clearly."

Thinking of the person who had been missing for many years, Zhao Yu reminded Huo Beichen not to have too high hope of finding out what happened.

"I understand, but getting to the bottom of this matter is also an explanation to Zeng Shijin and his son. I don't want to misunderstand others, and I don't want others to misunderstand me."

"Besides, I don't want to be teased by some people again and again."

Huo Beichen responded, and at the end he gritted his teeth a little.

Knowing that Huo Beichen still felt resentful about what happened that year, Zhao Yu did not say anything more and agreed:

"Beichen, I have to go out of town for a meeting these few days. When I come back, I will start investigating this matter."

"Don't worry, it has been delayed for so long anyway, it doesn't matter if it is delayed a few more days." Huo Beichen responded calmly.

"You don't have to be anxious. I'm afraid Zeng Xiaoqiang will get anxious. Seeing that you didn't respond, he might come to trouble you again. This kid is really something. After so many years, he only thinks of seeking revenge on you now. It's really funny."

Hearing the indifference in Huo Beichen's tone, Zhao Yu kindly reminded him.

"It's not him who is funny, it's the people behind him who are funny. Maybe they saw Zeng Xiaoqiang was too young and worried that he wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble, so they kept their hands off."

"Now, Zeng Xiaoqiang is 22 years old, which is the age when he is reckless and impulsive, and he is most likely to be exploited."

Huo Beichen analyzed the reason why Zeng Xiaoqiang jumped out at this time for the mastermind behind the scenes.

"I understand, but Beichen, I still want to remind you that since the other party dared to attack the Huo family, it proves that his strength is not inferior to your Huo family. Do you think he has already found out that you and Ning Xi got married?"

Thinking of Mu Ningxi, Zhao Yu continued to remind Huo Beichen.

Mu Ningxi might become a powerful weapon for the other party to restrain Huo Beichen.

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will protect her and won't let her get hurt again." Huo Beichen patiently accepted Zhao Yu's reminder.

Knowing that Huo Beichen was a man of his word, Zhao Yu no longer worried about Mu Ningxi.

"How have you and Jingjing been doing recently?" After talking about his own affairs, Huo Beichen took the opportunity to show his concern for the relationship between Zhao Yu and Cheng Jingjing.

"That's it. You know she doesn't like me anyway." Zhao Yu's tone turned cold when Huo Beichen mentioned Cheng Jingjing.

Huo Beichen could hear deep helplessness in Zhao Yu's answer.

When it comes to matters of the heart, only the person knows how they feel. As a brother and cousin, Huo Beichen can't say anything.

After thinking for a while, he comforted Zhao Yu: "Jingjing is still young. Give her more time and she will find out who is the right person for her."

"I hope so." There was a sense of sadness in Zhao Yu's voice.

"Beichen, when you have time, you should date those guys, so that they won't say behind your back that you have a different sex and are inhumane."

Remembering the key issue of today's call, Zhao Yu tried to persuade Huo Beichen in a kind way.

"I know that I'm a bit busy during this period. When I'm done with this period, I will take the initiative to invite everyone out for a get-together." Huo Beichen did not refute Zhao Yu's words.

Understanding that Huo Beichen was not talking nonsense, Zhao Yu stopped trying to persuade him. After saying good night to each other, they hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Huo Beichen opened the file saved on his computer and started processing it carefully.

When Huo Beichen finished his work and returned to the master bedroom, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Looking at Mu Ningxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Huo Beichen gently pulled back the quilt, slowly lay down on the bed, hugged Mu Ningxi from behind, and gently closed his eyes.

The sudden touch woke Mu Ningxi up instantly. She lowered her head to look at the hand on her waist and began to struggle.

"If you don't want me to do anything to you, just be good and don't move." Huo Beichen's slightly hoarse voice came to his ears.

Hearing this voice, Mu Ningxi calmed down.

After a moment of silence, Mu Ningxi was about to say something when she heard Huo Beichen's even breathing behind her.

Fell asleep so quickly?

Mu Ningxi couldn't believe that Huo Beichen could fall asleep so quickly.

Turning her head, Mu Ningxi saw Huo Beichen's closed eyes.

Really fell asleep.

Seeing that the other person was really asleep, Mu Ningxi didn't dare to move anymore and slowly closed his eyes.

More than ten minutes passed, and feeling the person in his arms fall asleep again, Huo Beichen tightened his hands on her waist before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Mu Ningxi slept until 9 o'clock.

Looking at the time on her phone, Mu Ningxi felt regretful. Her stable biological clock usually woke her up at 7 o'clock. What happened today? Why did she sleep until 9 o'clock?

There was no trace of Huo Beichen beside her, but the slightly wrinkled bed next to her reminded Mu Ningxi that someone had slept next to her last night.

Mu Ningxi still felt embarrassed to share a bed with Huo Beichen so soon, even though nothing happened between them.

What's more, what worried Mu Ningxi the most was that with Huo Beichen sleeping next to her, she actually felt very at ease and slept very soundly, not even noticing when he would leave.

Mu Ningxi, where has your usual vigilance gone?
