Chapter 362 Cheng Tang’s Small Courtyard
After Mo Wu left, the room fell silent again.
Mo Zhu was still lying unconscious on the bed. At that moment, Huo Xuan received a few calls made to the girl.
Considering that Mo Zhu still had some personal matters and identities that she hadn’t told him, Huo Xuan tactfully didn’t pick up the call from the unknown number. Instead, he only picked up two numbers that Mo Zhu had saved on her phone.
One was Meng Ran, and the other was Lu Zheng.!!
Huo Xuan knew Meng Ran quite well. The last time he went to the girl’s house with Mo Zhu to eat lunch, he knew that this girl was Mo Zhu’s classmate and they were deskmates who had a good relationship.
When Meng Ran heard that it was Huo Xuan who picked up the call, she was a little more reserved. After Huo Xuan told her that Mo Zhu had something on and was unable to pick up the call for the time being, she only gave a simple account of how everyone in their group had done well in the exam yesterday. Then, she repeatedly expressed her and Zhang Qi’s gratitude for the test questions that Mo Zhu had specially set for them.
After hanging up the call with this little girl, Huo Xuan was a little surprised by Mo Zhu’s Mathematics results. He frowned slightly as he looked at the girl on the bed. He calculated the results Meng Ran had mentioned over the phone just now and found it hard to believe that Mo Zhu had gotten such a high ranking.
On the other hand, Lu Zheng’s call surprised Huo Xuan. He said that he had followed Mo Zhu’s instructions and purchased many of the Kang family’s industries overnight, but for some reason, an expert had interfered. In his hurry, he only had time to buy half of them, and the rest had been snatched away by someone!
After hearing this call, Huo Xuan sat quietly by Mo Zhu’s bed and thought for a while. Then, he called Mo Jiu to take care of the girl. He stood up and left the small mansion, driving straight to the Huo family’s residence.
At the same time, Cheng Tang left the Kang family’s old mansion early in the morning and returned to the Cheng family.
After returning to the Cheng family’s mansion with familiarity, Cheng Tang looked around and saw no one suspicious. Then, she carefully took a detour to the backyard and gently pushed open the door to a small courtyard that was hidden in the corner and was not very eye-catching.
She entered and knocked on one of the half-opened windows. Cheng Tang’s voice was deliberately lowered by her. “Grandfather, Xiaoqi is dead!”
Upon hearing her voice, a slight rustling came from the room. A moment later, an old man’s voice came from the window. “Come in and talk!”
â€æYes.â€
After receiving approval, Cheng Tang came to the door and pushed it open to enter.
In the room, a white-haired old man sat on a wooden chair and looked at her coldly.
Cheng Tang walked quickly to the old man and bowed slightly. She said respectfully, “Grandfather, Xiaoqi died in the Kang family last night.”
“He died in the Kang family?” The old man kept twirling the Buddha Beads on his wrist rhythmically and looked out the window thoughtfully. He exuded the cold aura of a superior.
This person was Old Master Cheng. Ever since he handed the Cheng family to his son to manage many years ago, he had hidden himself in the backyard of the Cheng family and stopped meddling in the Cheng family’s business.
As he rarely went out, other than some of the direct relatives of the Cheng family who often walked around, almost no one recognized him.
The old master had a strange temper and rarely went out. Compared to the others in his sons’ generations, he doted on his granddaughter Cheng Tang more for no reason.
Hearing the old master’s question, Cheng Tang lowered her head slightly and replied in a low voice, “Yes, I’m sure that he’s already dead. I have already buried him.”
The old master looked out the window and pondered quietly for a moment. Then, he asked calmly, “Xiaoqi has been practicing very diligently recently. His strength has improved very quickly too. How did he die in the Kang family?”
Cheng Tang tilted her eyes and thought for a moment. After carefully considering her words, she replied seriously, “The Huo family killed him. The most outstanding grandson of the Huo family is called Huo Xuan. The person who killed Xiaoqi was his fiancée, Mo Zhu.”
