After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 293, Episode 0312: This is something most people couldn't learn.

The Zhao family members must have some kind of mental problem; they felt that the Leng family was deliberately making a fool of themselves, that the Zhao family had been humiliated by the Leng family, and that they wanted to take revenge.

They all have very unique thought processes; like attracts like, their ideas are surprisingly similar.

After much discussion, the group decided to kill Lin Yuexi.

Yes, that's exactly it.

I wonder if the whole family has nematodes in their brains and their brains have been completely swallowed.

Leaving aside how Lin Yuexi herself would feel if she knew, Huo Han was completely numb after investigating the Zhao family through the people he had arrested and going through a round of interrogation.

Old Zheng uttered a few words: "Jealousy is truly terrifying."

Leng Zhi rolled his eyes, his pupils clearly saying "I don't like it."

"Don't give me that. If the Zhao family hadn't done anything wrong, what could they possibly find out even if they were investigated? Those who meddle in politics are all corrupt, especially that family. Which one of them is clean?"

Apart from Zhao Jiafeng, all the members of the Zhao family are either already in Z or on their way to Z. They are all proficient in that system, and you can find a lot of problems by picking any one of them.

Zhao Jiaqun, who held the lowest position and served as the head of a commune in a small place, not only maintained inappropriate relationships with nearly ten female comrades, but also embezzled nearly 10,000 yuan.

At this point, Huo Han added, "The Zhao family has the shadow of the Cui family behind them, but the Cui family withdrew quickly and left no evidence."

"The Cui family again?"

Leng Zhi and Lao Zheng's expressions suddenly turned ugly.

"Zhao Yu and Cui Sheng had a very good relationship. According to Zhao Yu's confession, it was Cui Sheng's idea to have the Zhao family approach Xi Bao. Later, when the Zhao family wanted to harm Xi Bao, it was also Cui Sheng's order."

Leng Zhi's face grew even uglier, and he gritted his teeth.

Who are you calling Xi Bao?
However, important matters were more pressing at this moment, so Leng Zhi didn't immediately turn against him, but instead glared at Huo Han several times with dissatisfaction.

Huo Han, seemingly oblivious to his disapproving gaze, continued, "Zhao Yu was once the deputy director of the tax bureau, while Cui Sheng, though the second son of the Cui family, is not highly regarded on the surface. At over fifty years old, he is still just the station manager of a scrap yard."

Without needing to be explicitly stated, Leng Zhi and Lao Zheng already understood his meaning.

The two men are worlds apart in status and position. One is the head of the family and holds a high position, while the other is just a lazy bum at home, merely passing the time.

This relationship between the two was guided—or even ordered—by Cui Sheng?
This only shows that Cui Sheng was not as useless as he appeared on the surface.

“Cui Sheng did not leave Zhao Yu anything that could be used to incriminate him. Their communication relied solely on verbal exchanges. We have also investigated Cui Sheng and found nothing unusual.”

This person usually performs perfectly.

These days, people are raiding homes all the time. There are plenty of good stuff in scrap yards, and which person working there wouldn't secretly hoard some things?
Cui Sheng, on the other hand, did not. Not only did he not keep anything, he also strictly required the staff at the station not to keep anything for themselves, and he registered all valuable items and handed them over.

Judging from his work ethic alone, everyone has to praise him.

Sure enough, when they went to investigate, they only received positive words, such as honest, fair, selfless, and so on.

Some people criticize him, but they're also criticizing him for being stupid.

"Wow, the Cui family is really something else." Old Zheng quickly took a sip of water to calm his nerves.

No wonder they've been a powerful family for hundreds of years; look at their skills, it's something most people can't learn.

Leng Zhi turned to Huo Han and asked, "Haven't you found out if the Cui family really has any connection with the enemy's agents?"

Huo Han shook his head, "There is no evidence." Not only is there no evidence, but there is no one to testify against him either. It's just that their people saw someone from the Cui family meet with enemy agents.

"Fang Hao is very tight-lipped and won't say anything. The tall nephew is very responsive, but unfortunately he doesn't know much."

Leng Zhi gestured to Lao Zheng, who received the signal. This meant that he could tell Xiao Huo the results of their interrogation.

So he continued, "The tall guy is strong and has high combat skills. He's Fang Hao's personal bodyguard, but unfortunately, he's single-minded and his memory isn't very good."

Fang Hao trusted the tall guy completely and never hid anything from him.

However, Lao Zheng had a different guess. He thought it was very likely because the tall guy was too simple-minded and didn't take anything seriously. The most important thing in his mind was food, so there was no need to worry about him leaking secrets. That's why Fang Hao trusted him the most.

The tall guy had been starving all day, so I made him three packets of instant noodles and a fried egg, and placed them in front of him, but I wouldn't let him touch them. The aroma was so enticing, but he just couldn't get a bite.

Leng Zhi used this trick to finally make the tall man remember something unrelated to food.

"The tall guy remembers that he and Fang Hao once went to Beijing and stayed in a very beautiful place. They ate a lot of delicious food. Based on his description, we compared it with the layout of the houses in various parts of Beijing and confirmed that what he was talking about was the Cui family's old house."

The Cui family's old residence is not in the city but in the suburbs of Beijing. It is a large manor of more than 4,000 square meters and is the only large manor in Beijing that is still privately owned. With a general description, it is very easy to recognize.

"What do you think the Cui family is really up to?"

They don't know what the Cui family is planning, and they can't guess what they're up to. All they can guess right now is that the Cui family must have some ulterior motive, and that this motive is detrimental to the country.

However, you can't guess these things by guessing; we still need to keep an eye on the Cui family.

After the three of them made some plans regarding the matter, Huo Han took his leave.

The person left, and the door closed.

Seeing Leng Zhi still staring intently at the door with piercing eyes, Old Zheng gave him a shove, speechless. "Come on, Xiao Huo is really a good guy. Besides, Xiao Huo knows how to behave. He saw his daughter was busy, but he didn't bother her at all. He just watched quietly from the side."

Looking at the others, regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they all rushed forward without thinking, looking for an opportunity to appear in front of Xi Yatou.

Even his uncle, who is several generations removed from him, now has an unpaid job blocking people.

Fortunately, the elders acted quickly. After the series of incidents in Beijing, those with connections knew that their troubles were related to Xi Yatou, so there was no movement from anyone in the Northwest.

"You know what, things have been a bit chaotic in Beijing, but things have been much quieter here."

Old Zheng smacked his lips, saying with some regret, "I guess I won't have the chance to drink those tofu soups and such again."

Those young people didn't know whether Xi'er's departure was temporary or long-term, so they all tried to curry favor with her indirectly. They knew that Lao Leng would definitely not accept gifts, so they would occasionally send her a meal or soup, mainly to avoid violating the rules but to get closer to her.

Since it's for Leng Zhi, Lao Zheng, who's practically inseparable from him, will naturally get a share too.

Although the food wasn't anything fancy, mostly vegetarian dishes and soups, sometimes even wild vegetable porridge—things that were incredibly ordinary—it was probably food meant to please people. Since the ingredients weren't great, they naturally had to focus on the taste.

After eating there a few times, Lao Zheng found himself reluctant to even enter the army canteen.

Leng Zhi clenched his right fist; he really wanted to punch someone.

well.

This scoundrel actually felt it was a pity that the flies stopped bothering them just for a bowl of tofu soup!
"piss off."
