Chapter 222 Seeking Out the Eldest Brother
In front of Mu Ye, Yu Suhui counted Shen Baisu and the others on his fingers before seriously telling Mu Ye that they would be unhappy about it.

Now, Mu Ye finally realized that something was wrong with him.

He froze, staring intently at Yu Suhui for several seconds before suddenly turning to Shen Baisu and the others, "He...he, Junior Uncle, Master, Second Uncle, he...he's acting strange!"

"My second uncle seems to be having some mental issues. Is he injured or has his brain damaged?"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Mu Ye finished speaking, he was slapped on the left and right, as he was attacked from both sides by Yu Suhui and Feng Yin.

Mu Ye immediately raised his hands to cover the back of his head, looking accusingly at Feng Yin, then at Yu Suhui.

"Swearing! You deserve to be hit! You're the one who's out of your mind!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye immediately chuckled, "He still knows I'm talking about him, so it seems his stupidity isn't too severe!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Because of a single sentence, Mu Ye was slapped twice more, once again by Feng Yin and once by Yu Su Hui.

Yu Suhui looked at him seriously, "You even called me stupid, you deserve to be hit."

Mu rubbed the back of his head and shut up completely.

After Mu Ye's commotion, the atmosphere in the car was no longer as tense as before, and everyone began to discuss Yu Su Hui's situation.

"Third Senior Sister, didn't you just examine Second Senior Brother? How did it go? Can Second Senior Brother's condition be cured?"

Su Qing nodded, "Okay, but it will take a while."

With Su Qing's words, Nangong Ling and the others' spirits finally lifted, and the gloomy mood that had been hanging over them gradually dissipated.

"No matter what, now, we, the fellow disciples, are finally all together... not counting Xiao Liu, we're all here, and we're all alive and well, which is a good thing."

Hearing Nangong Ling's words, the atmosphere in the car became more relaxed.

Feng Yin looked out the window at the skyscrapers rushing past and said, "Yes."

"But since we're already here, there's no need to go back, right?"

"I need to get used to life here."

Feng Yin's tone carried a hint of wistfulness and nostalgia, and Shen Baisu, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced back at her.

When she looked away, a thoughtful look appeared in Shen Baisu's eyes.

Shen Baisu was resting her chin on her hand, deep in thought, when suddenly her phone rang. She immediately took it out to look at it.

It was an unfamiliar number, and the address was in Beijing.

Shen Baisu thought it was a call from Xiao Qingfang and her group, so she answered it without thinking.

As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice came through the phone.

"Shen Baisu, where did you go?"

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside the hotel? Who told you to leave? Now, come to the hotel entrance right now and come with me..."

Because it was so unexpected, Shen Baisu forgot to hang up the phone, so Huo Yuchen spoke for quite a while.

However, after regaining her senses, Shen Baisu immediately hung up the phone.

"ill."

She muttered something under her breath, "You're sick," and then added Huo Yuchen to her blacklist.

After blocking the person, Shen Baisu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and asked, "Who gave him my contact information?"

Hearing her muttering, Su Qing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shen Baisu: "It's nothing, I was just harassed by some idiot."

Su Qing nodded and said, "I see."

Seeing that Shen Baisu didn't want to say more, Su Qing didn't ask and just continued driving forward.

**
"Hello? Hello?" "Shen Baisu!"

At the hotel entrance, Huo Yuchen was stunned for a moment after the phone call was hung up.

After staring at his phone for a moment, he pressed the call button again and called Shen Baisu once more.

However, this time, the call was not answered, and the phone only played the message "The number you dialed is not in service..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuchen immediately understood that he had been blocked.

Instantly, Huo Yuchen's face turned pale with anger.

"Fine, fine, very well. You're going to hang up on me and block me, huh? Just you wait!"

After uttering his harsh words through gritted teeth, Huo Yuchen opened the car door and got in.

However, he didn't drive away immediately. Instead, he sat in the car for a while, sent a few messages, and then got out.

When he re-entered the birthday banquet, many people were quite surprised, including Ms. Qi.

"Didn't that guy leave? Why is he back?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxu looked in the direction Ms. Qi was looking and then saw Huo Yuchen.

About ten minutes ago, Huo Yuchen came to wish Old Master Qi a happy birthday, but said he had something to attend to and then excused himself and left.

I don't know what happened, but I've actually come back.

Although Shen Wenxu had some doubts, he wasn't interested in thinking about it too much and simply looked away.

However, he did not expect that Huo Yuchen would come to his side not long after.

"Mr. Shen."

Hearing Huo Yuchen's voice suddenly appear behind him, Shen Wenxu was quite surprised. He turned around and looked at Huo Yuchen, his eyes full of doubt, "Why is President Huo back again?"

Huo Yuchen: "There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Would it be convenient for us to talk in private?"

Shen Wenxu was quite puzzled after hearing this, so he nodded and followed Huo Yuchen to a secluded corner.

Seeing that no one was around, Shen Wenxu took the initiative to ask Huo Yuchen, "What would you like to talk about, Mr. Huo?"

Huo Yuchen: "I heard that the Xi family has acquired a piece of land and is looking for partners. President Shen, are you also interested in acquiring it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxu raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

Why bring this up all of a sudden? Are you about to talk about competition?
The Huo family is also involved in development, so there's no doubt that they will participate in the bidding process when the Xi family seeks partners.

So, is Huo Yuchen coming to him now hoping to persuade him to give up with just words?
"The Xi family acquired a prime piece of land. I think everyone would want to compete for it. Doesn't President Huo want to take it?"

Upon hearing Shen Wenxu's words, Huo Yuchen smiled and said, "The Huo family naturally wants to compete as well."

“I think if the Huo family participates in the bidding, I will be the biggest competitor of your Shen family.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxu remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, if the Huo family were to get involved, they would be a formidable competitor.

Huo Yuchen was right, but Shen Wenxu felt something was off.

Huo Yuchen is indeed as arrogant as the rumors say.

Unaware of Shen Wenxu's thoughts, Huo Yuchen continued, "I've called you here today to ask you to do something for me. If it succeeds, Huo's Group will voluntarily withdraw from this bidding process."

Shen Wenxu: "..."

This... is I doing things for you? Do you think I'm your employee?
Out of curiosity about what Huo Yuchen had mentioned, Shen Wenxu didn't show any inappropriate expression. He simply said, "Mr. Huo, why don't you tell me about it first?"

Huo Yuchen: "You're Shen Baisu's older brother, so she'll listen to you, right?"

"I need her to help me save someone."

“Once the deal is done, the Huo family will automatically withdraw from the bidding process. In fact, I can even give our bid to President Shen free of charge.”

Shen Wenxu: Save people?

Isn't Shen Baisu a veterinarian? What can she possibly save... Oh, right, she's a cultivator.
