Chapter 1085: Chapter 1054: Vomiting Blood, Backlash

This was no good person! Always hated by the rich and powerful.

"An assassin?" Bai Qiongyu was stunned but then quickly regained her composure. Was it a rival of the Bai Family?

Unlikely. If someone wanted to target the Bai Family, they wouldn’t have to bother going after He Tiantian. Targeting her, He Jingyu, He Doudou would be much more direct and effective.

"Why would there be an assassin?" Wang Shuping said anxiously, "We haven’t offended anyone."

He Jingyu did not refute immediately. Having been by his mother’s side, he had come to understand that a part of the family business was shady, and perhaps the attack was aimed at the Bai Family, with He Tiantian being an unfortunate casualty.

He Tiantian shook her head. "I don’t know who wants to kill me."

Bai Qiongyu nodded. "Tiantian, before we find the mastermind, you should not go abroad. I will have someone investigate this matter and surely uncover the person behind this, to avenge you."

Bai Qiongyu decided to use old connections to find the mastermind, but this would take time to investigate and couldn’t be done immediately.

"Thank you, Grandmother." He Tiantian said. "The person didn’t succeed and will probably continue to hire assassins. Just thinking that a venomous snake is watching me from the shadows makes me shudder."

"Yes, that’s why we must eradicate the root of the problem," Bai Qiongyu said, regaining her usual decisive and ruthless demeanor.

Whoever dared to touch the Bai Family would have to bear the consequences of offending the Bai Family.

Huo Zhekun looked somewhat worried, but the situation was so vile that he felt compelled to act.

"Tiantian, tonight I will use the Huo Family’s connections to look for the mastermind. At the same time, I will assign more people to ensure your safety," Huo Zhekun said. Seeing He Tiantian, who looked much for the worse, he felt a pang of heartache.

Fortunately, disaster was averted.

He didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to his son, granddaughter, and grandson if something happened to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian nodded. "Okay, I will be more careful and try not to go abroad anymore."

"Don’t be afraid, Tiantian, you are home now," Jiang Lifang said. "You should go to sleep first. I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner."

"Okay. Thank you, mom." He Tiantian said with a light chuckle.

Unable to put her mind at ease, Wang Shuping followed her daughter into the room.

"All right, go to sleep," Wang Shuping said, pulling the curtains for her daughter, poured a half glass of water, and placed it beside He Tiantian’s bed.

"Thank you, Mom," He Tiantian expressed her gratitude. She felt sorry for making her family worry. "I’ll be more cautious from now on and ensure that such dangers don’t occur again."

"I hope so," Wang Shuping said. "Now you should sleep and try not to think too much."

Once her daughter closed her eyes, Wang Shuping quietly left the room.

Alas, her daughter must have been truly frightened this time. She should make something delicious to properly nourish her.

Outside, people were inquiring about the process by which Huo Yingjie rescued He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie narrated it all.

After dinner, He Tiantian felt a little better and chatted with everyone for a while before returning to her room.

In the room, there were only Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie employed a secret technique to calculate who the person behind He Tiantian’s assassination attempt was.

Xiangjiang!

The location has already been determined!

However, it was more difficult than Huo Yingjie had imagined, but having come this far, he didn’t want to give up.

"Cough cough cough!" Huo Yingjie spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, not wanting to wake He Tiantian.

However, He Tiantian had a full night’s sleep that afternoon and wasn’t asleep now, simply resting with her eyes closed.

At that moment, hearing Huo Yingjie’s cough accompanied by the sound of liquid splashing, He Tiantian immediately opened her eyes and saw Huo Yingjie covering his mouth, but blood was still seeping through his fingers.

"Brother Yingjie, what’s wrong with you?" He Tiantian asked, "Why are you coughing up blood?"

"It’s nothing, I’m fine. I’m just using some secret techniques to find out who is the main conspirator," Huo Yingjie, after taking out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, said softly.

Unable to find the mastermind, Huo Yingjie had been restless and anxious.

If it had been before, He Tiantian might have believed Huo Yingjie’s words, but now she didn’t because she knew that the backlash would greatly harm Huo Yingjie. She quickly intervened, "Brother Yingjie, please don’t continue."

"But those masterminds..." Huo Yingjie was persistent and wanted to continue, but after seeing He Tiantian’s stern look, he had to stop.

"Brother Yingjie, there are many other methods to find the mastermind. There’s no need to do this; the cost is too great. I don’t want you to get hurt," He Tiantian said. "Go rinse your mouth right away."

Huo Yingjie, holding a cup, went straight to the bathroom to clean up before coming back to avoid worrying He Tiantian.

"It’s okay, don’t worry, it’s just a mouthful of blood." Huo Yingjie said nonchalantly, "I can get the result soon."

If it had been before, He Tiantian might have believed Huo Yingjie’s words, but now that she had the memories of her past lives, how could she believe this man’s "white lies"?

He Tiantian felt a twinge of heartache, and she was also a little angry, saying, "I do want to know, but I absolutely don’t want you to get hurt. As long as I’m in the country, I am safe. I’d rather not leave the country at all. Grandmother is already looking into it, and I’m sure it won’t be long before we find something out. Why must you suffer like this?"

Huo Yingjie had previously fought Demon Night to a standstill and, although injured, it was not foundational.

But now he was coughing up blood due to using the secret technique, signaling the beginning of the backlash.

Huo Yingjie gently embraced He Tiantian and then said softly, "If I don’t find that person, I can’t sleep or eat in peace. Besides, you’re my wife, and I don’t want you to suffer any harm. I want to personally find the true culprit and avenge you."

Seeing Huo Yingjie say this, He Tiantian couldn’t keep complaining and grumbling, ruining Huo Yingjie’s good intentions.

"What you’re doing is for me, and I appreciate it, but I’m not happy about it. I don’t want you to do this; it worries me. Promise me, no more using the secret technique," He Tiantian said. This man was just too foolish.

Faced with He Tiantian’s strong demand, Huo Yingjie had no choice but to nod, saying, "Okay, I won’t continue. Fortunately, I’ve just managed to find the mastermind’s location—Xiangjiang."

It wasn’t that Huo Yingjie didn’t dare use the secret technique; rather, using it meant he would be bedridden for half a month, which would certainly make He Tiantian even angrier, maybe even giving him the silent treatment.

"Hmm, that narrows down the range. We can send someone to investigate," He Tiantian said. "We’ll find a clue eventually."

Over the years, everything had gone smoothly, and Huo Yingjie thought life could continue without issue, but this incident had genuinely startled him.

Therefore, Huo Yingjie’s actions were understandable.

At that time, Cui Heng was just about to attend an auction event in Xiangjiang, so Huashan followed Cui Heng there, investigating the main conspirator behind the attempts on He Tiantian’s life.

Huashan arrived in Xiangjiang.

Having not started his investigation yet, he was having breakfast in the hotel when he saw the entertainment section of the newspaper.

The head of the Zhao Family, Zhaoding Xianghui, and her son Zhao Xun, obtained eighty percent of the Zhao Family’s wealth.
