Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 678: May All Your Wishes Come True

The phone on the bedroom coffee table vibrated twice.

Qiao Xi freed herself from Huo Xingzhou’s embrace, walked over to pick up the phone, and clicked on the unread group messages.

It was the internal group of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

Lu Bannong announced that a meeting would be held in three days, with major issues requiring the participation of all members to vote.

Qiao Xi read the message and waved her phone at Huo Xingzhou: "Lu Bannong is calling an emergency meeting, but he didn’t say what it’s about. You’re so good at predicting, what do you think his purpose for the emergency meeting is?"

"The answer is for you to reveal yourself."

Huo Xingzhou walked to her side, took her phone, and locked the screen.

Then his fingers undid the button of her coat, took off her outerwear, and put it aside.

He pushed her to sit on the soft big bed.

"From now on, pretend to be sick. Let Jiaojiao and Sun Weimeng be your test stones to see if your acting can fool them. This way, Lu Bannong will be more convinced in three days."

The enemy has already lowered their guard and gradually exposed their flaws.

Let them continue to be arrogant.

Qiao Xi obediently nodded, placed her plush slippers aside. She leaned against the head of the bed, watching Huo Xingzhou cover her with a quilt.

"You didn’t sleep last night either, it’s perfect for you to get some rest."

Qiao Xi softly responded.

Huo Xingzhou stayed for a while before leaving, stepping out of the room and gently closing the door.

The living room downstairs was a bit noisy, Huo Xingzhou stood at the stairway looking down with a cold face and said: "Old Chen, come to my study. Jiaojiao, Sun Weimeng, keep quiet, don’t disturb others."

"Okay."

Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng were particularly obedient.

Huo Sijiao still looked up and asked: "Brother, how’s my sister-in-law?"

"She needs rest. During this period, keep a good watch on Furong Beauty Salon, don’t let anyone with ulterior motives take the Jade Skin Ointment. Don’t stay home if there’s nothing to do."

"Got it, brother."

Huo Xingzhou turned around and walked away, with Old Chen trotting up the stairs.

Huo Sijiao pouted: "Sun Weimeng, don’t you think there’s something strange about this?"

Sun Weimeng shivered a bit, asking shakily: "What’s strange about it?"

"It’s just a feeling."

Huo Sijiao frowned, unable to figure it out.

Sun Weimeng patted his chest, women’s intuition is really frightening.

...

In the study.

Huo Xingzhou sat by the desk, looking at Old Chen in front of him and said: "Arrange those bodyguards properly, it’s too conspicuous to put them out in the open."

"Understood."

Old Chen was experienced in these matters.

He glanced at the phone on Huo Xingzhou’s desk, which kept lighting up and going dark again.

It seemed to be on silent, with only the change in screen activity.

Old Chen reminded: "Young Master, someone is calling you."

"I saw."

Huo Xingzhou looked at the unremarked yet exceptionally familiar number, somewhat tempted to block it.

But in the end, he still picked it up.

"Hello."

"Huo Xingzhou, is Cheng Han really dead?" asked Zhong Yi over the phone, who couldn’t send out many people. Some of his people were misled by Huo Xingzhou’s and ultimately didn’t see Cheng Han’s body.

They just said they did find someone in the deep mountains.

News of Cheng Han’s death spread quickly.

Zhong Yi also saw pictures on the news of Qiao Xi reportedly clashing with Lu Bannong in the mourning hall and fainting from grief.

It’s hard not to believe!

Qiao Xi is the most straightforward and doesn’t know how to hide anything, even though she’s been with Huo Xingzhou for quite a while, she wouldn’t joke about such a major matter.

He had filters a hundred layers thick for that girl in his memories and never thought she would team up with Huo Xingzhou to tell such a grand lie.

"The ashes are placed at the Imperial Capital’s funeral home. If Young Master Zhong doesn’t believe it, you can go verify."

Speaking so assuredly, Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment and coldly said: "Is it really the Lu Family’s doing, not a mere accident? Are you sure the dead person is really Cheng Han? Are you certain there’s no mistake?"

He still felt a bit unreal even now.

He knew exactly who Cheng Han was.

How could he just die like that?

Funny how he confidently told Huo Xingzhou before that he wouldn’t die, and now it was a slap in the face.

Zhong Yi felt indescribably complex inside.

Huo Xingzhou leaned in his chair and said: "I might get it wrong, but Qiao Xi won’t."

Indeed.

Qiao Xi wouldn’t.

Zhong Yi’s suspicions were mostly dispelled.

What followed was a choking feeling, that old man who used to be tough and soft-hearted was ultimately murdered.

"How is Qiao Xi... doing?"

"She fainted and is resting in bed, probably won’t recover for a while." Huo Xingzhou lied without batting an eye.

His tone was very calm.

Zhong Yi frowned, his tone carrying a touch of ruthlessness: "The year-end is approaching, and our Zhong Family should also decide on an heir. Once I seize power, it will be the end for the Lu Family!"

His marriage was forced, and he never intended to make progress with Lu Yingxue.

The Lu Family is destined to perish.

"Then let me wish Young Master Zhong success in advance, I’m looking forward to that day."

Zhong Yi took a deep breath: "Huo Xingzhou, you won’t be looking forward to that day. Because when the time comes, Qiao Xi and I... will finally reunite. I trust her, her heart has always had me in it. Never put down..."

Huo Xingzhou directly hung up the phone, his face dark.

If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all.

"Young Master, don’t mind him. Whatever Young Master Zhong says is empty talk; our Young Madam only has you in her heart. Young Master Zhong is nothing, just a figure of the past."

Old Chen comforted.

"Huh, do you think I’m bothered by his words?" Huo Xingzhou sneered, "I just think he’s overestimating himself."

Looking at Old Chen, he said, "From now on, don’t answer any calls he makes, and don’t leak a single piece of information to him. Better let him be heartbroken."

"Yes." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Old Chen’s tone carried a hint of laughter, "Young Master, news from Xu Yunye says that Zhao Chang has returned to the Southwest. They’ve been competing fiercely recently. If we can take over the herbal plantation under Zhao Chang, the Lu Family will have nothing to rely on."

Seize the lifeline!

Cut off the Lu Family’s funds first.

Let the Lu Family’s father and daughter have nothing but empty fame, and then destroy their reputation.

This tumor can only be eradicated completely.

"We must secure the Southwest plantation; I’ll think of a way."

Zhao Chang signed a ten-year stable supply contract with the Lu Family, and Lu Bannong did leave himself a way out.

Huo Xingzhou, with furrowed brows, said lightly: "First, have Xu Yunye hide his identity, don’t let Zhao Chang recognize him, and be careful."

"Understood. Second Young Master Xu has always been using an alias outside, very cautiously."

"Zhao Chang is close to the Lu Family, the Lu Family is not unfamiliar with Xu Yunye. Remind him to be careful in everything, don’t be careless. Zhao Chang is a ruthless figure, their group is not afraid of shedding blood."

Huo Xingzhou knew Qiao Xi wouldn’t want Xu Yunye to have an accident.

...

Three days later.

Temporary meeting of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
