Chapter 316: She’s Blind
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was six in the morning, and the sun had already risen in Malaysia.
Yan Qiu changed into a Chanel-style black dress, put on a beige fisherman’s hat and sunglasses, and walked out of the hotel like a celebrity. However, just as she turned the corner, she was pulled over by a powerful force. She was about to resist when she saw Duan Yanxing’s annoying face.
“Let go.” Yan Qiu frowned and shouted.
Duan Yanxing let go instantly because he did not expect the girl’s arm to be so thin and delicate. It felt like it would shatter with a pinch.
What he didn’t expect even more was that Yan Qiu would disguise herself for the sake of the mission. He thought that according to her style, she would only always wear casual business attire. With such a dress, she could also look flirtatious.
Even though Yan Qiu didn’t have Lin Wanli’s figure, she was slim and attractive.
“I have a mission. Don’t hit on me.” Yan Qiu noticed that Duan Yanxing did not speak and reminded him. After saying that, she wanted to leave, but she was stopped by Duan Yanxing.
“I’m more familiar with the Huo Family’s missions than you are.”
“Doesn’t Master Xiao know that you’re more familiar? But he still sent me here.
This means that it’s inconvenient for you.” Yan Qiu analyzed rationally, “Besides, it’s precisely because you’re familiar, so there will be more people here who know you, making it easier for you to be exposed.”
“I’ll take you to a place.” Duan Yanxing pulled Yan Qiu into the car. This person was like a global expert. He could have a car, a boat, and even
someone anytime and anywhere. Yan Qiu had to refresh the upper limit of her understanding of Duan Yanxing in her heart.
When they arrived at an antique market, Duan Yanxing and Yan Qiu shuttled through the narrow streets and finally entered a bluestone courtyard.
There seemed to be all kinds of people there.
A few Malays leaning against the kitchen door were pointing at Yan Qiu.
Feeling uncomfortable, Yan Qiu frowned. Just then, Duan Yanxing put his arm around her shoulders and brought her to an old man, “Don’t look around. Don’t cause trouble. Wait for me here.”
“I’m not your…” puppet. Just as Yan Qiu was about to express her dissatisfaction, she heard Duan Yanxing talking to a tall Malay man.
That was the first time Yan Qiu heard Duan Yanxing speak in English, and it was a completely different accent and tone from the Korean he spoke previously. He had a very pure British accent and was very gentlemanly, but it did not match the cold-blooded hostility he carried.
It was unknown what they were talking about. A few minutes later, Duan
Yanxing returned to Yan Qiu’s side and said, “Su Xuanxuan isn’t at that hotel. The only person the Huo Family has sent here in recent years is at a blind massage parlor.”
“There’s also blind massage here? And why will the person be at a blind massage parlor?”
“She’s blind.” Duan Yanxing replied.
“Since you can find her so quickly, why did Master Xiao…”
‘You have to deal with Su Xuanxuan. She’s afraid of men, so I have no choice but to use force if I were to deal with her.” Duan Yanxing answered her, “As for Huo Jiuxiao’s reason, I roughly know…”
“Know what?” Yan Qiu asked.
“It’s nothing.”
Duan Yanxing said halfway and got into the car with Yan Qiu. After closing the door, Duan Yanxing looked at Yan Qiu seriously and said, “You’re very smart and good at fighting. But you’re too solitary and don’t like to ask for help. This is not a good thing. Master Xiao and I spent many years establishing a network on par with the Huo Family. Do you know how many lives we lost?”
“It’s good that you’re willing to use your brain, but you’re too naive. Do you really think that the Huo Family only controls that hotel? If you can think of it, others can also use it to lure you into taking the bait. Huo Jiuxiao asked you to come because he wanted you to see the difference between you and the Huo Family’s bodyguards. If you really want to go to Lin Wanli’s side, your ability is far from enough.”
Yan Qiu listened carefully and didn’t say anything.
‘Watch how I act when we get to the massage parlor.”
It was 8:30 in the morning.
Huo Qingxiao led everyone from the Huo Family to the ancestral hall.
Like how Shen Changmei had complained the other day, the elders in the ancestral hall had also come. Moreover, they had all brought their descendants. They sat around the main seat in the back row, making the atmosphere at the scene even more solemn.
“Uncle Zhong, it’s not good for you to keep calling us over like this. After all, the Huo Family has a lot of problems. If there’s any problem, you can solve it in one go. Don’t keep wasting everyone’s time.” Huo Qingxiao was the first to speak up. From the sound of it, he seemed to be defending Yun Shujing.
Uncle Zhong sat on the chair with a serious expression. His expression was much more serious than when Shen Changmei had caused a ruckus.
“After Changmei came to the ancestral hall to cause trouble, we received reliable news that Huo Xinhong had appeared in the Incheon area. So, I asked
Xuebin to bring some people over to verify it. However, we didn’t expect to see Huo Zizhen and Huo Xinhong together.”
After hearing Uncle Zhong’s words, the ancestral hall was in an uproar because that was Huo Xinhong, the sinner of the entire Huo Family!
However, Huo Zizhen was not flustered. She said, “Uncle Zhong, I’ve been wronged. I did go to Korea, but I went for plastic surgery. The hospital has my medical records. How could I possibly meet the enemy of the Huo Family? Isn’t it too much of you to spread rumors about a junior like this?”
“Uncle Zhong, since Xuebin saw Zizhen and Huo Xinhong together, where’s the evidence? Also, since your people have already found Huo Xinhong, why didn’t they capture him?” Yun Shujing also asked reasonably.
“Huo Xinhong ran away, and the phones of Xuebin and the others were stolen. The evidence in my phone was also tampered with and deleted completely.” Uncle Zhong said truthfully.
“Then there’s no evidence.” Yun Shujing caught the main point and snorted, “Uncle Zhong, I know that the photo that Shen Changmei took out that day made you suspicious of me. It’s okay because Qingxiao believes in me, and I have nothing to explain. But aren’t you targeting us too obviously by spreading rumors about us?”
“Do you intend to get us convicted without evidence and by just saying that the person ran away?”
“That’s right, Uncle Zhong. You’re making it seem like everyone’s time is not important.”
At that moment, Huo Qingxiao, who had been silent all the while, also said,
“Everyone, go back to work.”
After saying that, everyone was ready to leave. However, Uncle Zhong grabbed Huo Qingxiao and asked in disbelief, ‘Qingxiao, this mother and daughter pair had even placed their spies beside me. Don’t you think it’s scary? Are you really going to wait until the same thing that happened more than ten years ago to happen again before you believe my accusation against that mother and daughter pair?”
“Uncle Zhong, do you know you’re destroying someone else’s family? If it were an elder of the Yun family, I would have reported him directly. For me to be talking calmly now, I’m already showing you great respect. Don’t take advantage of your seniority and start rumors to cause trouble.” Yun Shujing took on the aura of the Huo Family’s matriarch, wanting to suppress the matter.
The other two elders also joined the conversation, “Old Zhong, you have no evidence, and that’s too ridiculous. Besides, everyone has seen Shujing’s contributions to the Huo Family all these years. You’re indeed going too far by slandering her like this..”
