Chapter 21 - The Secret Under the Moonlight

Xia Huaiwu thought to himself that since Liuli already had a place to stay, he didn't need to worry too much about her for the time being. So, after a brief inner struggle, he resolutely walked towards Xia Zhuozhuo. At this time, Xia Zhuozhuo was busy talking on the phone with Guzai, who had a ramen head. "Boss, the money from the Du family has arrived, and the amount is much more than expected! What's going on? Didn't you refuse to treat them?" Guzai's voice came through the phone line, full of doubts. Xia Zhuozhuo smiled lightly. She knew that it was quite cumbersome to explain, so she casually perfunctorily said: "Since you are here, you have to make some money as the fare." Guzai has never been able to figure out Xia Zhuozhuo's thoughts, so he didn't delve into her answer. "The Du family is rich. Guess how much money they gave us?" Guzai's tone was full of amazement. "How much?" Xia Zhuozhuo asked casually. "Ten million! This is the most medical fee I have ever seen." Guzi's tone was full of shock. However, Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes were calm, as if he had expected everything. "The Du family is rich. Others give less, which does not mean that they have no money, but that once their illness is cured, they will no longer need me." Xia Zhuozhuo said lightly, "But Mr. Du still wants to enjoy the good life more." This ten million, part of it is today's medical fee, and the other part is for... "Transfer the money to my card, I need money a lot recently." Xia Zhuozhuo ordered. "Yes." Guzi's answer was brief and powerful. "Also, help me check the situation of the Si family." Xia Zhuozhuo's voice was serious. "Si family? Si family in Kyoto?" Guzi's voice was full of surprise. Xia Zhuozhuo nodded slightly. Although the movement was small, Guzi seemed to be able to feel her determination through the phone line. "Since our Anbu is also going to develop in Shanghai, we have to guard against the famous S Group." Xia Zhuozhuo said, "The Anbu was hit hard in Kyoto, and the big families have been eyeing us covetously. If possible, I don't want to be enemies with the S Group of the Si family." "Yes, I will send you an email after I find out." Guzi's answer was still concise. Xia Zhuozhuo said "hmm", and just as she hung up the phone, the phone in her hand was suddenly snatched away by a big hand. She was stunned, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, the hostility in her eyes dissipated a little. "Fifth brother, why are you here? Didn't mom ask you to stay at home and reflect on your mistakes?" Xia Zhuozhuo asked in confusion. Xia Huaiwu's face was as gloomy as water. "If I really stay at home and reflect on my mistakes, our whole family will be killed by you!" Xia Huaiwu's tone was full of anger. Xia Zhuozhuo's brows gradually frowned. "What do you mean? When have I ever harmed my family?" Xia Zhuozhuo's tone was full of grievance. Since she had decided to stay in the Xia family, she had already regarded the Xia family as her own home and the Xia family as her own relatives. What's more, she had never thought of harming them. Xia Huaiwu had lost his patience. "Are you still pretending? Is it because I said a few words to you that made you unhappy, so you colluded with the miracle doctor and let the Du family deal with us?" Xia Huaiwu's voice was full of questioning. Xia Zhuozhuo's eyelids slightly raised, and he already understood everything in his heart. "Did Xia Liuli tell you that?" Xia Zhuozhuo asked lightly. "It has nothing to do with Liuli! Don't throw all the dirty water on her! She is also for your own good, so..." Xia Huaiwu was interrupted by Xia Zhuozhuo before he finished speaking. "Sure enough, she came to remind you." Xia Zhuozhuo's mouth curled up a sneer, "If I anger the Du family, my end will be miserable, right?" Xia Huaiwu's face became more gloomy. "It's already this time, and you're still lying! Do you know how big a disaster you've caused?!" Xia Huaiwu's voice was full of questioning and anger. "I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Du family and ask. Now, I'm going back to boil medicine for my mother." Xia Zhuozhuo said, turning around and trying to leave. "Don't leave!" Xia Huaiwu grabbed her wrist and said, "You go to the Du family with me, explain and apologize to them, and strive for their forgiveness." Xia Zhuozhuo looked coldly into Xia Huaiwu's eyes. "What if I say I won't go?" Xia Zhuozhuo was firm. "It's not up to you whether to go or not!" Xia Huaiwu dragged Xia Zhuozhuo to the Du family. Xia Zhuozhuo only struggled slightly and broke free from Xia Huaiwu's restraints. Xia Huaiwu was furious when he saw this. He was about to grab Xia Zhuozhuo again, but Xia Zhuozhuo slipped away like a loach and disappeared in an instant. Xia Huaiwu chased after him with gritted teeth. However, there was a lot of traffic on the road. In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhuozhuo had crossed the road and disappeared in the crowd on the opposite side. But Xia Huaiwu was blocked by the traffic at this end of the community. Just at this time, a taxi drove by. Xia Zhuozhuo raised his hand to stop it, got in and reported the address of Xia's home. When Xia Huaiwu finally avoided the traffic and ran here, Xia Zhuozhuo had already disappeared. ! "Xia Huaiwu roared. How could this damn girl be as slippery as a loach! He didn't know that the reason why Xia Zhuozhuo was in a hurry to escape was not only because she didn't want to face the entanglement of the Du family, but also to avoid the upcoming family crisis. Although Xia Zhuozhuo was just a girl from the countryside, without any backing or power, the Xia family was now out of power. Once the Du family was really annoyed, the consequences would be disastrous. There was no way, Xia Huaiwu had to go back to this side of the road and drove after her. On the other side, Si Shenxing finally finished talking with Du Zhengguo about cooperation. On the new project, S Group was willing to make concessions to the Du family, which was undoubtedly a fat piece of meat delivered to Du Zhengguo. After signing the contract, Si Shenxing went to visit Mr. Du again. The old man was ruddy, and except for looking a little skinny, he didn't look sick at all. "I'm relieved to see you recover. "Si Shenxing said with a smile. Mr. Du was also very happy. He hadn't felt like a human being for a long time. A sick person can't eat, drink, defecate or urinate by himself. Can he still be considered a human being? Fortunately, he can now take care of himself. "Thank you, Mr. Si, for taking the time to come and see me in your busy schedule. If there is anything I need help with in Shanghai in the future, please feel free to ask." Mr. Du said politely. However, this is just a polite remark. If there is no interest, who would be willing to take the initiative to help? Just like Mr. Du promised the genius doctor that he would go through fire and water for her, if it wasn't for the need for her in a year, how could the Du family smile at a ragged person? Si Shenxing didn't expose these hypocritical courtesies, but just smiled and nodded, and asked his men to leave a bunch of gifts. After getting in the car, A Mai turned back from the driver's seat with great excitement. "Brother Xing, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first? "Amai's voice was full of expectation. Si Shenxing closed the project book and said slowly: "I can draw another chicken on your face and tell you both news at the same time." Amai was not afraid of Si Shenxing's cold attitude. Si Shenxing looked difficult to get along with, but after getting familiar with him, you will know that as long as you don't cross his bottom line and principles, he will not really get angry. Amai said with a smile: "Then let's tell the good news first. The good news is that there is news about the lady you asked me to find!" Si Shenxing's calm face finally showed a strange expression. After a breath, he asked: "Have you found someone?" "Look..." Amai handed over a tablet. The tablet showed Xia Zhuozhuo's photo and some basic information. Si Shenxing's eyes stayed on the photo for a moment, and then slowly moved to the basic information. There was a subtle tenderness and determination in his eyes. "So, you are the person I have been looking for. "Si Shenxing said silently in his heart. At this time, Xia Zhuozhuo, who was decocting medicine for his mother at Xia's house, did not know that his fate was about to change drastically because of Si Shenxing's appearance. What kind of secrets and conspiracies are hidden behind all this? Perhaps, only time will give the answer... The above is a captured screen of a surveillance video. In the picture, a woman is wearing a wide bath towel, half covering her face. The image quality is poor, and only the general lines of the face can be vaguely recognized. A Mai said: "I ordered people to restore the surveillance of the hot spring resort a year ago, and only this one can barely recognize the face of the lady... Although it is hazy, it is already a key progress. "However, Si Shenxing's attention was not at all to A Mai's words, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the looming profile of the woman in the picture.
