Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Knowing You’re Alive, I’m Very Happy

Zhong Yi looked at her busy appearance and spoke in an increasingly hoarse voice, "You used to... in situations like this, you would definitely cry. I..."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him, her mind a whirl of thoughts.

"I’ve grown up, Ayi. Knowing you’re still alive, I’m very happy."

She had experienced rapid growth by Huo Xingzhou’s side, and the Qiao Xi of today was no longer the same as before.

Qiao Xi took out a long needle and inserted it into his Baihui Acupoint.

Zhong Yi only felt that his eyelids were growing heavier, drowsy.

Soon, he lost consciousness.

Qiao Xi’s eyes were bloodshot, she stood up and looked at the speedboats relentlessly pursuing outside the yacht.

The number of speedboats wasn’t that many anymore.

These hastily dispatched speedboats didn’t have much fuel.

Yet, some speedboats had already intercepted the yacht’s path, stationed in front to force it to stop.

The storm was coming.

Qiao Xi knew that a direct confrontation was imminent; if they climbed aboard the yacht, there would be no room for maneuver.

Old Chen’s driving skills were indeed impressive, still maneuvering around them.

But there were too few people on the yacht, the deck area was too large, those people could find a gap and rush aboard at any time.

They... want Zhong Yi dead!

They probably won’t let these insiders live either.

Didn’t expect such thrilling conflicts beneath the facade of prosperity. From Zhong Yi’s reaction, such matters seemed as simple as daily occurrences.

The seemingly peaceful Zhong Family, turned out to be so perilous.

...

Imperial Capital Tianyuan Group’s Branch Top Floor Banquet Hall.

Zhou Yu held Huo Xingzhou’s phone, navigated through the throng and spoke at his side, "Qiao Xi’s called several times. Maybe there’s something urgent, I briefly looked around and found she’s not present."

But with Old Chen and so many bodyguards around, Zhou Yu didn’t think much of it.

Anyway, Qiao Xi shouldn’t be in danger.

Huo Xingzhou took the phone and answered it.

He stepped out of the crowd, and Zhou Yu followed by his side.

However, once he picked up the call, it wasn’t Qiao Xi speaking but a man’s voice.

"President Huo, it’s Wan Jiang! Miss Qiao is at Thirteen Bay Wharf, I’m with Young Master Zhong..."

Wan Jiang briefly summarized the causes and process of the situation.

He and Young Master Zhong brought people to discuss overseas business with the Pei Family and happened to inspect the goods at the wharf. But unexpectedly, Pei Family and Zhong Lingxiao had long been in collusion, the typically neutral Pei Family betrayed, no one foresaw it!

The Pei Family was the most understated.

And thus, they were ambushed.

The people they brought along were elite, yet couldn’t overcome the opponent’s longstanding plans.

Huo Xingzhou heard up to "Zhong Yi’s life is in danger, Qiao Xi risking death to save" then his face turned dark as water was about to drip out.

"Zhou Yu, send the helicopter to Thirteen Bay Wharf’s sea area immediately, bring all the elites at my disposal."

"What’s happening!"

"Qiao Xi is there, hurry up there!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu didn’t dare delay, immediately left the banquet hall to count personnel and proceed.

The helicopter was the fastest.

First reinforce, protect the people before anything else.

Huo Xingzhou hung up, looked at the aroma-laden, serene banquet hall inside. Zhong Lingxiao was even sitting on the sofa drinking champagne, appearing quite leisurely.

He was also surrounded by several beauties and businessmen, chatting casually.

Huo Xingzhou closed his eyes for a moment, sent someone to call over Xie Xubai and Sun Weimeng.

"Sun Weimeng, you’re in charge of holding the fort in the banquet hall. I have to step out momentarily, if anyone asks just say I got drunk and went to rest briefly."

Sun Weimeng sensed the tense atmosphere, didn’t ask why but nodded.

"Xie Xubai."

Huo Xingzhou looked at him, "Keep an eye on Zhong Lingxiao for me, he must stay till the banquet ends tonight before leaving. Can you find a way to keep him occupied?"

Xie Xubai knew something big was up.

Not refusing, due to past friendship he said, "Alright, I’ll do my best."

"I’ll leave this to you, I’m going out for a bit."

Huo Xingzhou hurriedly departed, yet someone obliviously blocked his way.

"President Huo, where’s your wife? I seem to not have seen her for a while." Lu Yingxue sensed something amiss, softly spoke.

Zhong Lingxiao picked this day quite well indeed.

Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi had to host the banquet, couldn’t easily leave the venue.

They supervised here.

Lu Yingxue also speculated that even if there was trouble on Zhong Yi’s side, he wouldn’t seek rescue from Huo Xingzhou.

After all, although they collaborated, they often clashed. On the surface, secretly, neither seemed like friends.

Huo Xingzhou adored his wife, wouldn’t let Qiao Xi endanger herself.

But Qiao Xi seemed to not have appeared in the banquet hall since their restroom dispute.

She had to inquire.

"As tonight’s leading lady, keeping out of sight is impolite." Lu Yingxue’s smile was insincere but measured.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at her slightly, "Whatever she wants to do is her business, does it concern you? It’s not your Lu Family’s reputation at stake, why meddle?"

His mood was extremely foul at that moment.

No one approaching would get a good outcome, let alone Lu Yingxue.

"President Huo, I’m at least a guest of your Huo Family. You..."

"My invitation was for Young Master Zhong, you’re free not to attend. He didn’t come, yet you insist on coming, complaining I’m not giving you face?"

Huo Xingzhou had no patience for her, "Make way!"

Lu Yingxue was shocked by his aura, her mind blank, unsure what to say.

Sun Weimeng noticed and quickly blocked Lu Yingxue, saying, "Miss Lu, why are you so focused on Qiao Xi? Someone at home is ill, she’s rushing back to treat. Don’t people at Miss Lu’s household ever feel a little under the weather?"

Going back to treat Cheng Qingnian?

That made sense.

Lu Yingxue looked at Sun Weimeng with disdain, snorted and walked towards Zhong Lingxiao’s direction.

But Zhong Lingxiao was being pulled by people to drink and chat, even Xie Xubai joined in. Making it impossible for her to get a chance to ask about what’s happening with Zhong Yi tonight.

The clock had turned to nine, did Zhong Yi not die?

Lu Yingxue was absent-minded.

For Lu Family, Zhong Yi best not die today.

But die when his injuries hadn’t healed, in her hands. Then Lu Family and Zhong Lingxiao would truly be tied to the same ship.

She was losing patience.

...

Meanwhile, at the building’s base.

Huo Xingzhou had already brought the remaining personnel, heading to Thirteen Bay Wharf.

He held his phone, dialing various contacts for coordination and mobilization.

Creating chaos at Thirteen Bay Wharf, while arranging a ship to set sail, intending to personally bring Qiao Xi back.

The night was vast.

Huo Xingzhou sat silently in the car.

His aura was intimidating, cold all around.

The phone screen displayed the top-contact number of Qiao Xi, his finger poised over the dial button, yet he hadn’t made the call.

The eyes were dark, pondering unknown thoughts.
