Chapter 215 Being Suspected
Chapter 215 Being Suspected
Huo Xiongcai glanced at Zheng Qianzhi and said, "Now is a special moment. Let's put aside all those romantic things and find the person who stole the secret room first."
"Yes, my son-in-law knows."
Zheng Qianzhi lowered his head and could only sit there reluctantly, but in his heart he was secretly thankful that he did not put the drugs in the food, otherwise it would have been exposed by now.
I was originally planning to drug him, but Lin Congyun suddenly appeared and said that it would be too abrupt to drug him like this.
By then, don't let someone find out, otherwise it would be more trouble than gain.
Just when Zheng Qianzhi was feeling embarrassed, Huo Wan'er came over.
"Dad, eating dinner so early..."
Before Huo Wan'er finished her words, the displeasure in her eyes had already spread like ripples.
She glanced at the food on the table, then looked at Zheng Qianzhi's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help feeling confused.
"Why are you here?" Huo Wan'er asked with a hint of questioning in her voice.
Zheng Qianzhi met Huo Wan'er's clear but scrutinizing eyes. His heart tightened and he hurriedly explained, "Wan'er, I... I'm here to deliver food on behalf of the kitchen maid."
"Really?" Huo Wan'er's eyes flashed with disbelief, but she didn't say much. She just walked to Huo Xiongcai and asked softly, "Dad, are you healthy?"
Huo Xiongcai looked at his daughter, his eyes full of love, "Wan'er, Dad is in good health. You don't have to worry."
Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi's slightly panicked expression and became even more doubtful.
She turned around and told the maid behind her, "Go, call the doctor from the mansion. I want to see if there is anything wrong with the food."
Although the voice was soft, it was firm and unquestionable.
The maidservant left in response, and soon the doctor from the mansion hurried over.
The doctor walked to the table and carefully examined the food.
Zheng Qianzhi felt uneasy when he saw this. He secretly observed the doctor's expression, afraid of revealing any flaw.
However, the doctor's expression remained the same, showing neither surprise nor any suspicion.
After a careful examination, the doctor stood up and said to Huo Wan'er, "Miss, there is nothing wrong with the food. You can eat it without worry."
Huo Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated.
She turned to Zheng Qianzhi, her eyes full of scrutiny, "Since there is no problem with the food, why are you so nervous?"
Zheng Qianzhi was speechless after being asked by Huo Wan'er. He could only stammer and explain: "I... I'm just worried about my father-in-law's health, so... that's why I'm nervous."
Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi's evasive eyes and became even more suspicious.
But she didn't get angry immediately, she just said calmly: "You go down."
Zheng Qianzhi felt relieved and hurriedly took his leave.
However, he didn't know that Huo Wan'er's suspicion of him had already taken root in her heart like a seed.
After Zheng Qianzhi walked away, Huo Wan'er sent away the other people in the yard.
"Dad, is there really something wrong with this Zheng Qianzhi?"
Huo Xiongcai's face suddenly darkened. "You saw what he did just now. Dad is not a fool. How could he not see it?"
"What about what happened last night? Why did he want to leave the city?" Huo Wan'er frowned, obviously confused about Zheng Qianzhi's behavior.
"It's not clear yet, but his behavior is indeed suspicious. I will send someone to secretly investigate his whereabouts and see what secrets he has." A hint of determination flashed in Huo Xiongcai's eyes. He would never allow anyone to betray his own people.
"Okay." Huo Wan'er nodded, and then she thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, Dad, didn't Zheng Qianzhi say that the old woman had a treasure?"
"That's what happened."
"What's so special about that treasure?"
Huo Xiongcai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, but I heard Zheng Qianzhi say that if you get this treasure, you can get all the wealth in the world."
"All the wealth in the world?" Huo Wan'er's eyes flashed with doubt, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"It's a bit exaggerated, but Zheng Qianzhi did say so at the beginning." Huo Xiongcai was also a little puzzled. "However, whether it is true or not, we can't take it lightly. What if the treasure is really special?"
"Yes." Huo Wan'er nodded, "Then what should we do now?"
"First, secretly investigate Zheng Qianzhi's whereabouts to see what secrets he has. At the same time, we must send someone to find the whereabouts of the old woman to see if she really has any treasures."
"it is good."
The father and daughter discussed for a while before going their separate ways.
At this time, Zheng Qianzhi had returned to his residence. He sat at the table with anxiety on his face.
"It was so dangerous just now. I almost got exposed." Zheng Qianzhi patted his chest, looking frightened.
"They have begun to suspect you." Lin Congyun suddenly walked out from the darkness.
Zheng Qianzhi was startled, but when he saw that it was Lin Congyun, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, luckily I didn't drug her, otherwise it would be the end."
"It's not a question of drugging now. Just now, after you left, I heard the two of them talking about the treasure again."
"Ah?" Zheng Qianzhi raised his head and looked at Lin Congyun, "What else did they say?"
"Find someone to monitor you..."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Qianzhi became nervous and quickly looked outside the house, "Old Madam, what should we do now?"
"Don't panic, stay calm." After all, Lin Congyun is older and has experienced more things, so he is much more stable than Zheng Qianzhi.
Zheng Qianzhi calmed down after hearing this, "What the old lady said is true, so what should we do now?"
"Yes, just pretend you know nothing. If they really send someone to monitor you, just pretend you know nothing and do what you are supposed to do every day."
"Okay." Zheng Qianzhi nodded, "Everything is up to the old lady."
Lin Congyun glanced at Zheng Qianzhi and sighed heavily in his heart. He had originally been asked to be an insider, but in just two days, he was already suspected.
Another day has been wasted in Bianyun Pass. I wonder if Fang Deyong and the others in the deep forest are anxious?
Also, I don’t know how my grandchildren are doing now?
When she thought of the children, Lin Congyun couldn't stay any longer. She had to find a way to quickly resolve the issues here and then get to the children.
It would definitely not work if she relied on Zheng Qianzhi now. She had to think of another way.
Thinking of this, he said directly to Zheng Qianzhi: "I will find a way to leave the city myself, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
