The atmosphere was at a standstill. Huo Cheng squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
If what he said was true, it meant that this matter might be related to him. Huo Cheng had to be extra vigilant.
Jiang Lihao, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had a figure flash through his mind, gradually overlapping with the person in front of him.
Only then did he suddenly realize why he felt familiar!
It was the elder brother of Huo Cheng, Huo Zhen, whom he had seen in the Huo family when he was a child. It was just that he looked quite different now.
"The development right of the Biyuanchun real - estate project," Huo Zhen said with a faint smile on his lips.
The two stared at each other silently. In a blink of an eye, "Okay."
Huo Cheng nodded. Jiang Lihao let out a surprised cry. The development right of Biyuanchun was a big temptation in many people's eyes, and Huo Cheng had replied so decisively just now.
"Brother Huo, aren't you afraid that this is all his self - directed and self - acted play?"
Jiang Lihao pulled the man aside and whispered. Huo Cheng was not surprised after hearing this. He just said indifferently, "Finding the person is the most important thing now."
Jiang Lihao was speechless. Indeed, even if it was his doing, they could only compromise for now.
Two sedans sped after another sedan. In a flash, after a minute, many black sedans also caught up.
On this quiet night, waves of unrest were rising.
Huo Zhen remained silent, his eyes fixed seriously on the road ahead. With a turn, the car drove onto the highway. He glanced at the rear - view mirror, and the two cars were still closely following.
He pressed his foot harder on the accelerator, and several cars sped on the highway. With a sharp turn and a sudden brake, Huo Zhen's car blocked in front of another sedan.
The man in the car was in a panic. He quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid a direct collision. Just as he was about to jump out and scold, saying that the other person was blind, when he calmed down, he found that the car in front had made a 180 - degree turn, and the front of the car was now facing his.
It was obviously intentional. There was a moment of panic in the man's eyes. After calming down, he made a big turn to escape. But before he could fully turn around, two more cars drove up from behind, sandwiching him in the middle like a sandwich with three cars around him.
It was deathly quiet, as if everything had been frozen, and no one moved.
In the distance, there was the rumbling sound of cars approaching. A look of surprise flashed across the face of the blocked man. If it was just passing cars, they couldn't keep blocking him.
But he didn't think of another possibility and could only watch helplessly as things unfolded.
Another seven or eight cars lined up in an orderly manner, surrounding his car tightly with his car as the center.
The cornered sedan drove straight forward. Huo Cheng squinted his eyes calmly, watching the approaching car.
Then, when the car was getting closer and closer, it suddenly stopped. The car door was flung open, and a man ran out. He was immediately caught by the people who got out of the cars right after and was pushed in front of Huo Cheng.
It was an ordinary - looking man. Huo Cheng was sure that this man was just doing things for someone else and the target was only Gu Sisi.
Without even a second's hesitation, Huo Cheng walked towards the open car door. There was no one inside. He glanced sideways at the man kneeling on the ground under restraint. The man was too panicked to meet his eyes.
Huo Cheng withdrew his gaze and walked straight towards the trunk. He lifted it up and met the eyes of the person inside.
Gu Sisi was tied up tightly in the trunk with a cloth in her mouth. She was grimacing and trying to speak, but could only make a muffled sound.
Huo Cheng bent down to untie the ropes and pull out the cloth.
"I thought I'd never see you again," Gu Sisi sobbed.
She had been inexplicably kidnapped and had no ability to struggle at all. Who could have imagined how desperate she had been?
It was only when she felt the car stop that she had a glimmer of hope. But then it was quiet, and it seemed like the car had reached some place. Gu Sisi's heart was hanging high until she saw Huo Cheng's face, and then she completely relaxed.
Huo Cheng gently and carefully carried her into his car and placed her in the passenger seat. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Sisi grabbed his sleeve. He looked over and saw her slightly frightened eyes.
"It's okay. There won't be any more problems here," Huo Cheng soothed softly. After she calmed down, he returned to the man who was surrounded.
"What's the situation now?" Huo Cheng's unfathomable eyes sized up the kneeling man.
Jiang Lihao beside him shook his head. "This guy refuses to say anything."
Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the man had his head down stubbornly and didn't even dare to look up.
"Take him away," Huo Cheng ordered. Immediately, his subordinates swarmed up. No matter how unwilling the man was, he couldn't break free.
He stood up and said to the man who was standing quietly in front of his car, watching the situation unfold, "Since the person has been found, Biyuanchun belongs to you."
If it weren't for his guidance, they might have had to mobilize a large number of people and spend a lot of time to find her.
However, if that were the case, Gu Sisi's safety couldn't be guaranteed. This deal was not a loss.
Huo Zhen raised his eyebrows without saying a word. Just as he was about to turn around.
The man behind him said again, "If I find out that you're involved in this, I definitely won't let you off."
His tone was very calm, but the content of his words was full of threats.
Huo Zhen waved his hand calmly, got in the car, and left.
The scenery flashed by outside the car window. There was a faint sneer on Huo Zhen's lips.
This matter was really related to him. After an unpleasant encounter with Gu Sisi, he had continued to observe her. Therefore, he had actually witnessed the whole kidnapping process.
That's why he could find her. At first, he was about to go and rescue her without thinking, but then he saw the two of them preparing to go, so he calmed down.
A Biyuanchun. It was quite a bargain.
Huo Zhen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. There seemed to be a thin mist in his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Two cars drove over, and the three of them returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
Seeing more and more people from the Jiang family gathering, a look of joy flashed across Gu Sisi's eyes. She grabbed Huo Cheng's hand and shook her head.
Just now, Huo Cheng had wanted to suspend the banquet, but Gu Sisi didn't want to. After all, a lot of manpower and resources had been spent on it.
Moreover, she was safe now, and Gu Sisi didn't want to give up this evening.
Huo Cheng and Jiang Lihao glanced at each other. Jiang Lihao said to Gu Sisi, "Sister - in - law, go to the lounge first. Qianqian is very worried and has been waiting for you."
"Okay. You guys wait for everyone to gather first. I'll go find Yang Qian." Gu Sisi walked towards the lounge.
Watching her walk away, Jiang Lihao withdrew his gaze and said to Huo Cheng, "Brother Huo, do we really still have to continue?"
Huo Cheng knew that Jiang Lihao must have something to say after getting Gu Sisi out of the way. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows. "You don't want to follow the plan now?"
