Chapter 1063: Time to Pay the Price
Huo Zijun’s face was very gloomy after he checked out the situation.
He found out that the person who went through with the ingredient change was actually related to Huo Zhan and the others!
What did Huo Zhan and the others want?
Why did they want to do something to Liu Manhong?
If Huo Zijun had left the medicine-concocting task to others and did not notice the problem here, Liu Manhong would be in danger now.
The accuracy of a single ingredient in medicine could affect the big picture.
Huo Zijun’s face darkened when he thought of the possible outcome.
Xia Xibei’s and Qiao Yanjue’s faces after receiving the news were not pleasant either.
“Did your eldest uncle and the others do this?”
“Why would they do this to Sister Hong?”
Huo Zijun shook his head, “The person I caught is related to them, but I think… They should have nothing to do with the driver.”
Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue looked at each other and agreed with this statement.
If Huo Zhan and the others wanted to make a move because of what happened before, they would do it to Huo Zijun or Xia Xibei, not Liu Manhong.
Although Liu Manhong was also one of the shareholders, her shares were the smallest.
Even if Liu Manhong was harmed, it would not affect them. Instead, it would only anger them.
So, Huo Zhan and the others probably just wanted to follow along and take advantage of the situation.
“It seems that many people don’t like us!” Xia Xibei’s expression was grim.
No matter who it was, if they dared to do such things, they had to bear the consequences!
Qiao Yanjue’s expression was as cold as ever, “There is some development on my end. I should have more information soon.”
They waited for a while and soon received a message.
After reading the information, Xia Xibei was surprised.
“Who is this Lu Jinghong?”
“Lu Jinghong… The Lu family.” Qiao Yanjue’s expression was a bit serious. “If I’m not wrong, it should be the Lu family among the ancient martial arts families. Their home base is in H province.”
“Another ancient martial arts family?” Xia Xibei was surprised. “Even if it is a family of ancient martial arts, why would they lay hands on Sister Hong?! They do not hold a grudge against her!”
Only after looking at the relations.h.i.+p did Xia Xibei come to understand.
Lu Jinghong was the current wife of Zou Zheng!
Could it be that she was after Liu Manhong because of her relations.h.i.+p with Zou Zheng?
But that was insane!
The two of them had been divorced for so long and they haven’t been in contact since then. When they met, Liu Manhong had even specifically insulted Zou Zheng.
In such a bad situation, Lu Jinghong was still worried about the two of them getting back together?
Please! She really underestimated Liu Manhong’s taste in men!
Liu Manhong was all about looks. She was not even interested in anyone ugly, not to mention a sc.u.mmy ex like Zou Zheng, who would only be kicked aside.
“Lu Jinghong is crazy, right?” Xia Xibei had a face of incomprehension.
“Whether she’s crazy or not, this matter can’t pa.s.s like this!” Qiao Yanjue’s expression was frozen to the extreme. “Even if it’s the Lu family, they can’t just bully people like this!”
Even if the Lu family was an ancient martial arts family, the influence of ancient martial families was dropping.
What was more important now was economic strength. A fist with money was stronger.
Moreover, this Lu Jinghong was not an important person in the Lu family, and it was unlikely that she could afford to be reckless.
Liu Manhong didn’t offend them, so why should they hurt her like this!
Qiao Yanjue was ready to have someone keep an eye on Lu Jinghong, but Xia Xibei spoke up.
“I have a new idea,” Xia Xibei declared coldly. “I think it’s time for them to pay for what they’ve done!”
