The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1137 - 1106

In the evening, Huo Yingjie came again. Seeing Huo Yingjie, she felt relieved and wanted to ask about the situation.

The first thing upon his return was to revert to his original appearance.

He Tiantian couldn’t stand being held by a Huo Yingjie with a different appearance—it felt strange.

He Tiantian asked, "That illegitimate daughter of the Zhou Family, did you find out anything about her?"

"Unexpectedly, the Zhou Family’s illegitimate daughter has actually become a disciple of that excessive Sorcerer," Huo Yingjie frowned as he spoke, "Those who learn such secret techniques are mostly unrighteous people. Xu Weiwei must have already learned about the affairs of the Zhou Family and seeks revenge, but lacking the means, I speculate she wants to resort to wicked methods."

"If Xu Weiwei and her daughter were well-behaved, actually I wouldn’t want to trouble them," He Tiantian said, "But now that they have taken the wrong path, they are like a ticking time bomb bound to explode sooner or later. Since we have found out now, we might as well end it early."

If it were in her past life, He Tiantian might think that since Xu Weiwei hadn’t done anything to harm her yet, she wouldn’t seek revenge first.

Doing so would make her feel uneasy.

Simply put, she would be possessed by the spirit of a sanctimonious saint.

But in this life, He Tiantian wouldn’t do so—she would exterminate any threat to her as soon as it was discovered.

She now had family, children, and friends, and she didn’t want them to suffer because of her own issues.

She cherished everyone around her and couldn’t bear to lose any of them.

Now she also understood the mindset behind Cao Cao’s words, "Rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

"I am doing the same," Huo Yingjie stated, "It’s already being arranged, no need to worry."

Cui Ying came over and also received updates from Huo Yingjie, so she knew how to proceed.

Huashan had been keeping an eye on the Xu Family.

Grandma Ma felt somewhat uneasy, always sensing that something was about to happen.

Therefore, she went out today and found that people had surrounded the Xu Family’s house.

Grandma Ma hurried back home, where only Xu Canyun was present; Xu Weiwei was not home, having gone to the talent agency.

Seeing the change in Grandma Ma’s expression, Xu Canyun asked with concern, "Grandma Ma, what’s wrong?"

Grandma Ma thought it over and decided to wait for Xu Weiwei to return before speaking, to avoid frightening Xu Canyun who was indecisive.

"It’s nothing, just a bit tired from walking," Grandma Ma said, entering her own room, feeling conflicted.

Now that they had been targeted, Xu Weiwei’s identity might have already been exposed too.

Escaping unscathed now seemed difficult.

If it were just her, she could naturally escape unharmed; after all, she had survived under harsh conditions in Thailand and smuggled herself to Xiangjiang.

But for Xu Canyun, and especially since Xu Weiwei was her lifesaving benefactor and also her disciple, carrying the lineage’s Life-bound Gu, which was now inside Xu Weiwei’s body,

Leaving Xu Weiwei behind would truly mean the end of the Sect’s lineage.

But if she did not leave, then what should they do next?

For a time, Grandma Ma found herself in a dilemma.

Time passed by very slowly, minute by minute, as Grandma Ma paced back and forth in the room.

It was not until late at night that Xu Weiwei returned, quite drunk.

Grandma Ma wanted to speak with Xu Weiwei, but didn’t because Xu Weiwei was drunk.

Although she couldn’t discuss it with Xu Weiwei, Grandma Ma had made up her mind.

Grandma Ma took out a sleeping incense from a box, lit it, and soon the already soundly sleeping Xu Canyun was sleeping even more peacefully.

Xu Weiwei was also knocked out by the fumes.

At that moment, Grandma Ma quickly wrote a letter and placed it under Xu Canyun’s pillow, then dressed Xu Weiwei in men’s clothing, complete with a wig, while she also disguised herself.

The oversized men’s clothing made Grandma Ma appear even smaller and thinner.

At that moment, Grandma Ma took a red pill from a bottle and swallowed it. Almost instantly, the originally petite Grandma Ma visibly enlarged and grew taller, transforming into a man.

Since Xu Weiwei was less experienced and also drunk, she couldn’t take such a pill, which is why Grandma Ma had to disguise her.

Now wasn’t the time to leave; they had to wait till around five or six in the morning when the garbage trucks would come, providing an opportune moment.

By then, Huashan and two bodyguards were feeling a bit weary.

Huashan took out a cigarette to refresh himself and then pulled out three shiny copper coins from his chest pocket to begin divination.

His heart sank at the results.

It was a fruitless return.

Good heavens, after spending so much time, he was finally ready to close the net.

If he returned empty-handed, it would indeed be a disservice to himself!

Although he had been feeling sleepy earlier, he was now wide awake, staring intently at the entrance of the residence.

However, the garbage truck left through the back gate since it was dirtier, and people usually used the front.

By the time Huashan realized that there wasn’t just one gate and he rushed to the back, he saw a garbage truck passing by.

Huashan seemed to have a telepathic sense and immediately turned his car around to chase after it.

Yet the garbage truck raced ahead as if it had eyes, heading straight forward.

For some reason, the truck managed to cross the streets just before the red lights, and after two or three lights, Huashan was left behind.

Unwilling to give up, Huashan continued the chase to the seaside.

When Huashan got out of the car, he saw a hunched man on a motorboat waving as if to say "goodbye."

Huashan was so frustrated that he stomped his feet, but the speedboat had already swiftly disappeared into the distant sea.

"It really was a fruitless return," Huashan said with a bitter smile, having busied himself for nothing, and he still didn’t know what had happened at the main gate.

When Huashan arrived at the front of the Xu Family’s residence, the two bodyguards were still watching the gate, but the others had already left through the back trash passage. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Huashan directly entered the complex and knocked on the door.

Xu Canyun, groggy, heard the knock and got up to open the door.

Seeing a stranger at the door, Xu Canyun asked with surprise, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for Xu Weiwei," Huashan replied. "I’m the new bodyguard sent by the talent agency."

Xu Canyun didn’t believe him and was about to close the door.

Huashan pulled out a silver needle and flung it toward her, coated with an anesthetic, which made Xu Canyun fall unconscious.

Huashan took out a piece of wire, carefully unlocked the security door, and quickly entered, hoping to search the house for any useful clues.

Grandma Ma had left in a hurry and hadn’t taken many things with her.

However, those little bottles containing disgusting bugs were something Huashan wouldn’t touch.

Huashan walked into Xu Canyun’s room and found a letter.

Huashan almost died of anger when he saw the letter.

It was a farewell letter from Grandma Ma, saying she had taken Xu Weiwei on a journey, telling her not to worry.

Grandma Ma and Xu Weiwei had left, leaving behind a housewife, Xu Canyun, who knew nothing.
