"Back to Madam, my name is Xiaoqin. My hometown was flooded three years ago. Mama Zhang is my mother's third aunt. She kindly asked me to work at Huo's house."

The unremarkable Xiaoqin spoke a strong local accent, talking a lot of miscellaneous things.Mrs. Huo frowned, her well-maintained face was full of disdain: "Mother Zhang, is what she said true?"

Mother Zhang saw Mrs. Huo's impatience, and quickly explained: "Yes, Ma'am. Didn't I go back to my hometown to visit relatives the year before last? Xiaoqin's home was destroyed by the flood, and the whole family went out to work. At that time, she was not yet an adult. Without her, her mother entrusted the child to me. After I came back, I reported to you that the child is quite diligent in hands and feet. Do odd jobs in the back kitchen and garden."

Mrs. Huo nodded in satisfaction. She remembered this. Mother Zhang did bring back a little girl back then. It was not long before Cen Man gave birth to Huo Mo, and it was when Mrs. Huo was most upset, so she didn't think much about it. , since she is a fellow villager of Zhang's mother, I went with Zhang's mother's arrangement.

"What do you know?" Mrs. Huo asked casually.

The maid named Xiaoqin immediately said with trepidation: "I know everything, and I can do rough and tiring work. I have been working in the fields since I was a child, so I have great strength!"

Mrs. Huo found that Xiaoqin was very verbose. You asked her—she could speak up to ten, and she glanced at Mama Zhang: "Why can't you learn any rules after working in the Huo family for so long? Mama Zhang, please teach me well." Otherwise, why would she take her to serve the master."

Mama Zhang pulled the silly Xiaoqin and asked her to thank Mrs. Huo. Madam meant that she would take Xiaoqin to the young master’s villa together. Mama Zhang was also happy for her. The Huo family will not be treated badly if they help out.

Xiaoqin said a lot of words of gratitude again, and Mrs. Huo waved her to go down.She turned her head and said to Yang Meilian reproachfully: "Why do you take such an unrefined thing?"

No one knew that Yang Meilian's inner turmoil was constantly turbulent at this time.There is a problem with this violin!Yang Meilian is 100% sure that this young woman named Xiaoqin should be the one who contacts her every time, and the voice is exactly the same.

But Xiaoqin, who reported the situation of the Huo family to her, spoke standard Mandarin, and was very clear about what to say and what should not be said. Ken accepts bank transfers.At that time, Yang Meilian still admired her in her heart, thinking that she was a clever person, and it was a good thing for both of them not to leave any evidence.

The clumsy and vulgar Xiaoqin in front of Mrs. Huo just now is not the same person as the shrewd and alert Xiaoqin when the two traded.Yang Meilian felt her scalp go numb, and her teeth chattered slightly.

In order not to be discovered by Mrs. Huo, Yang Meilian had no choice but to hold Mrs. Huo's arm coquettishly and said, "Don't look at her like this, the more honest a countryman is, the less willful she is. Anyway, let her go to the villa It's for rough work, it's too delicate, isn't that the second Cen Man?!"

"That's true," Mrs. Huo nodded in agreement, and patted Yang Meilian's hand that was holding her: "Meilian, you are still considerate and thoughtful. I didn't think of this until you reminded me. Huo Li is unhappy again."

"No, you are Mr. Huo's mother. How can any child dislike your mother's meddling? Besides, if you move in, one more person to help will save them trouble." I have to say that Yang Meilian understands Mrs. Huo's thoughts very well. In one word, Mrs. Huo went to her heart, and repeatedly praised Yang Meilian for being sensible.

What is the purpose of the mysterious person to bring this Xiaoqin into Huo Li's villa, and what is the true face of this Xiaoqin? Get vaccinated.

"Mrs. Huo, if Mr. Huo asks why you brought Xiaoqin there, don't say it was my idea."

"Why? You should tell Huo Li about your love." Mrs. Huo asked strangely.

"I'm afraid Mr. Huo will blame me as an outsider for meddling in the Huo family's affairs. Don't tell me, or I'll be ashamed to appear in front of you."

"Okay, okay, don't say it, it's my own idea, silly boy." Mrs. Huo looked at Yang Meilian lovingly, and felt that she was somehow better than Cen Man, and she didn't take credit for doing good deeds.

The task entrusted to Yang Meilian by the mysterious person is finally completed. Yang Meilian wonders if the other party's goal is to bring down the Huo family, then she should hang herself on the tree of Huo Li. She sincerely hopes that Huo Li can defeat the other party. , for no other reason, her weakness is controlled by a gang who doesn't know the details, and the other party can unknowingly strangle the fate of the Yang family. From this perspective, she and the Huo family are grasshoppers on the same rope.

I only hope that one day when Huo Li finds out the truth, he can retreat unscathed.

After Mrs. Huo moved to Huo Li's villa, Huo Li conducted a cleaning-style investigation of the remaining servants in the Huo family's mansion. He suspected that there were ghosts in the house.

Perhaps Cen Man and his public itinerary can be traced, but it is impossible to be precise enough to attack Cen Man and cause her to miscarry without them noticing, let alone framed one after another.The other party seemed to be aware of their every move, and Huo Li couldn't think of any other reason besides the ghost in the family.

Mrs. Huo took the three people to the villa, Mrs. Zhang, the driver, and a maid named Xiaoqin. He had investigated in advance. Mrs. Zhang was an old servant of the Huo family for decades. crossed out.The driver is Mrs. Huo's usual driver, and has more than ten years of work experience in the Huo family. Huo Li personally arranged the driver back then, so the suspicion is naturally ruled out.

The remaining Xiaoqin aroused Huo Li's vigilance.Although it is said that he is a distant relative of Zhang's mother, and he came to the Huo family to help work through her recommendation, Huo Li still sent people to investigate carefully, no matter whether it was Xiaoqin's hometown or his every move in the Huo family in the past three years, nothing was found. There is something doubtful, this is a servant with a clean and innocent background.

The Huo family had many servants, and Huo Li couldn't remember if he had seen this simple-looking face at home.Zhang's mother has always been very measured, and has never strongly recommended in front of Mrs. Huo and him just because she brought in the person, so Huo Li has no impression of this Xiaoqin.

Mrs. Huo told him that she needed to bring a handyman to the villa for a good reason, and Huo Li agreed after checking that there was no problem.He made arrangements around the villa, even if the violin had problems, Huo Li did not believe that she could play tricks under his nose.

He focused on the Huo family mansion.

After checking all the servants left in the Huo family's mansion and still finding nothing, Huo Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart.The other party's methods are really clever. Even Mrs. Huo and Cen Man don't know that he wants to investigate the Huo family, but the other party can get wind of it. I'm afraid there are more than one or two nails in the Huo family.

The family's affairs are not the most urgent. A useful nail needs to be settled in the Huo family for a long time to gain a firm foothold. Therefore, the Huo family has been stable for so many years without any major changes.

What Huo Li was worried about was that the other party had also arranged an eyeliner in the Huo Group. Things in the mall were no more than family affairs, and a little carelessness would be a fatal loss.And once the Huo Group loses its power, Huo Li thought of an idiom - if there is no skin, there will be no hair.

The Huo Group is the backbone of his Huo Li family's survival. Just imagine Cen Man's background. If the Cen family is still as famous as it was in its heyday, how would Cen Wei and Cen Ting sell their sister for money? What about Mrs. Huo? He will look down on Cen Man.

So Huo Li couldn't allow the group to make a mistake.But a group is not like Huo's house, no matter how many servants there are, there are only a dozen or twenty. The Huo's group supports thousands of people, not to mention the recent overseas projects.

The business of the entire Huo Group can be said to spread across various industries. It is true that they are industry giants, but when the forest grows big, there are all kinds of birds.As the helm, Huo Li can direct the decision-making of Huo's terminal, but he can't reach all the minutiae positions.

It is impossible for a listed group to be in the sun everywhere, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Huo Li knows very well that the company cannot withstand investigation without dead ends.

What's more, even if the ability is as strong as Huo Li, there is no way to clean up the entire group in a short time, so the Huo Group can drag itself down without waiting for the other party to make a move.

Back then, the internal dispute between Huo Li and his uncles almost put the Huo Group in a precarious position. If Huo Li hadn't been ruthless and decisive, the Huo Group wouldn't be as powerful as it is today.

The other party obviously knew this too, so they unscrupulously attacked Huo Li's family life again and again. In contrast, Cen Man's company and European projects were all minor adjustments.

Huo Li had already smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, and the ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts, all of which showed the enormous pressure he was facing, but he couldn't fall down, he could only grit his teeth and resist.

Lang Jun stood quietly at the table, unable to bear to disturb the boss's meditation by making a sound.He has followed Huo Li since he was a boy, and he has never seen him have such a difficult problem to deal with.

"Lang Jun," Huo Li's hoarse voice interrupted Lang Jun's thoughts, he heard Huo Li ask him: "If you want a life that is better than death, what is the best way?"

Life is better than death?

Lang Jun was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to think, he hesitated for a moment before saying briefly: "Probably... probably destroying his most cherished thing with his own hands."

"Is that so..."

Huo Li tapped his index finger on the table without haste, and said as if talking to himself: "I see."
