The dull pain in her chest made her almost unable to breathe, and the black vortex suddenly attacked, and her eyes were black with some unbearable parry, and the whole person went limp.

Thankfully, Applejack's reaction was quick enough to hold her in time.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Applejack's voice of concern is heard.

Huo Zicheng also reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, barely able to stabilize himself.

It took a lot of strength to suppress the fishy sweetness that permeated his throat, and he swallowed it back with some difficulty, and his pale little face was full of weakness and exhaustion.

Even Huo Wenshan on the side could sense that something was wrong with her, and immediately asked-

"What's wrong with you?"

Huo Zicheng took a deep breath, grabbed the teacup in front of him with a trembling hand, and drank two sips with great difficulty to suppress the bloody smell that made him want to gag......

"It's okay...... Suddenly a little uncomfortable. ”

After a long time, Huo Zicheng replied a little weakly.

But Applejack listened, and could clearly hear that her situation was probably really not good-

I guess I was also angry by these news, right?

Hurriedly found the medicine bottle she carried at any time, unscrewed the cap, quickly poured out two of them, and handed them to her, "Miss take the medicine, calm down, don't be angry with yourself." ”

Huo Zicheng did not refuse, quickly took the medicine, and swallowed it with water.

It took a while before he eased up.

"Are you feeling better?"

Applejack is concerned.

Huo Zicheng nodded, closed his eyes, and said after a while, "Why didn't you notice it before, and there was no rumor from London...... Huo Jingbei probably already knew that all this arrangement was just a plan and invited you into the urn...... Too careless! We were so careless! ”

Huo Zicheng's weak voice contained endless chagrin!

The hand holding the teacup also clenched suddenly, and the white fingertips seemed to be able to crush the cup in the next moment.

Applejack listened, lowered her eyes, and said apologetically—

"I didn't expect them to find out so quickly, although it was a little strange at that time, but then they all unanimously said that it was okay, so I believed them...... Judging from the current situation, maybe Huo Jingbei noticed it very early and made arrangements very early, but it was just ...... I don't know why he kept putting up with it...... Otherwise, we would have known the news earlier. ”

Of course, Ajie couldn't think of Huo Jingbei's deeper purpose.

"It's for the Huo family's old mansion to successfully sell the part of the house that I occupy...... I became a pawn in his hands, and I did my best to make this happen. He's got everything figured out! The tense situation at the dock warehouse before was probably deliberately acted by him to show us! Moreover, he must have been able to guess that this batch of goods was our handiwork, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he simply endured it and deliberately played such a play for us...... Taking advantage of our psychological weaknesses, we have succeeded in calculating us. ”

Huo Zicheng's tired voice came.

Listening, Applejack's eyes also darkened, and she looked at Huo Zicheng in disbelief......

"He expected that I would probably be able to settle the matter as soon as possible, so I would approve of the old man buying the house...... Hehe...... What a terrible scheming! I was careless this time! I thought he wouldn't know that fast, I thought at least I could take him to the army...... Unexpectedly, it was so wrong! ”

Huo Zicheng's voice was full of coldness and unconvinced, but he told himself very clearly in his heart-

This is Huo Jingbei!

She shouldn't have been lucky in the first place, she should have planned everything and envisioned it.

She herself thought that she knew Huo Jingbei very well, and she had been by his side for so long, and she also knew his style of acting......

However, after thinking about it, why didn't Huo Jingbei know her temperament?

So, she lost this time!

Lose on your own!

Applejack listened, her eyes darkened, and after thinking about it, she persuaded, "Miss doesn't have to blame herself, the future is long, this time we are just a small test, next time we will definitely be able to hit him hard, and we can also test his depth and ...... if we suffer a loss."

Huo Zicheng lowered his eyes and did not make a sound.

The conversation between the two was very low, and Huo Wenshan on the side also listened without a word, but he didn't understand the meaning of their words, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but ask-

"What do you mean by these words? What the hell are you talking about? ”

Although he knew that they seemed to be talking about Huo Jingbei, he didn't understand the specifics......

"It's nothing, it's just some grievances with Huo Jingbei before."

Huo Zicheng took a deep breath, reached out and pulled a piece of paper, pressed it in the palm of his hand, lowered his head and spit out-

Soon, the white tissue in the palm of his hand was suddenly dyed with some crimson.

She quickly put it away, and didn't let the old man see it, and took a sip of tea before continuing, "The old mansion that was just sold, and the money in hand was squandered like this, and it was really rich. ”

"If you are young in the end, you will be defeated by him sooner or later!"

Huo Wenshan also said through gritted teeth at this time.

"That's his business, he doesn't think it's about us, does he?"

Huo Zicheng sneered.

"Miss, what are we going to do next?"

Applejack, of course, was a little anxious at this time.

It took a lot of effort to come up with such a good plan, but I didn't expect it to be easily conquered by Huo Jingbei, and he also countered them, thinking of the situation they thought of before, and now they suddenly feel a little annoyed!

However, there is no way to reverse this situation!

Huo Jingbei is Huo Jingbei in the end, and it is no wonder that Mr. Mott has always been so cautious......

Applejack suddenly remembered that Mr. Mott had persuaded them to come to Z City, and that they needed to think about it in the long run.

However, Miss Huo Zicheng was too anxious!

She couldn't wait that long, especially knowing that Kanasha's condition was so bad, and that Lei Rui was killed on the spot in the end, but Huo Jingbei was still so safe and sound, without the slightest injury or loss......

Applejack looked at Huo Zicheng and was silent for a long time, but Huo Zicheng didn't speak.

It's just that he still seems to be able to catch a trace of struggle and abruptness in her eyes, and what Huo Zicheng said before suddenly floated in his mind-

I had no choice, there were so many things I wanted to do, and I was afraid that if I didn't hurry, I would never have the chance...... I'm afraid I won't make it that time, and if I don't do anything, I'm afraid I'll die, and I won't have the face to see them......

Maybe it's this belief that has always sustained her......
