Chapter 319 The Huo Family's Plea for Help
When Cheng Feng and his group returned to the starting point of their hike up the mountain, a jeep was parked there.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect send people here to wait every day, whether it is day or night.
The disciple spotted the enormous Xiao Hua from afar, which startled Ju Hua so much that he quickly drew his pistol.
But then he saw Cheng Feng and his group of six following behind Xiao Hua, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After gritting his teeth and getting out of the car, he stood aside and waited for Cheng Feng and the others to come over.
"Always in charge!"
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect tried their best to appear calm and bowed their heads to greet Cheng Feng respectfully.
Fortunately, Xiaohua wasn't very interested in him and didn't move closer.
Otherwise, it's questionable whether he could even stand up straight right now.
"Blind man, you and this brother go back first and get a truck to come back and pick us up."
Xiaohua is too big; this jeep definitely can't fit her, so we have to get a larger truck.
Hei Xiazi agreed, and then got into the car with the Xieling disciple and left.
Cheng Feng and the others found a flat spot to rest.
Before Cheng Feng and his group had to wait long, Hei Xiazi arrived in a truck.
Cheng Feng pointed to the back of the truck. Xiao Hua slowly walked to the side of the truck and easily jumped into the cargo bed without much effort.
The whole car shook violently for a moment, but thankfully the vehicle was made of sturdy materials and didn't fall apart.
After returning to Baihe Town, considering Xiaohua's situation, everyone stayed there for one night.
The next day, lightly equipped, the six of them set off in two cars to head home.
The remaining vehicles were left to the brothers stationed in Baihe Town; the Xieling tribe is not short of such assets these days.
The journey home was much faster than the way there, despite the bumpy ride; robberies were much less common on the roads around the millennium.
So we didn't encounter any trouble.
Hei Xiazi, Zhang Qiling, and Cheng Feng parted ways halfway through their journey. They each had rooms in the city and at their lodgings.
He usually stays in the city, only staying at the camp for a day or two when he has to set off to lead a team to dig soil.
Zhang Qiling's indenture was extended again during this trip to Changbai Mountain. Fortunately, he was a quiet person who would only work silently without complaining.
When they got home, Ah Xiang was already waiting for them at the door.
After greeting Cheng Feng and the three women, the group went inside together.
In the living room, Ah Xiang poured tea for Cheng Feng and the other three, and after they sat down, she said:
"Big brother, Sister Xiaoling's family has sent someone."
After hearing this, Huo Ling quickly asked:
"What happened?"
Ah Xiang responded:
"They've come seeking help; they want us to send a skilled investigator to solve a cold case."
Cheng Feng frowned slightly and said:
"Ah Xiang, have someone invite the people sent by the Huo family over. I need to ask them in detail."
Ah Xiang agreed and immediately got up and left the living room.
Huo Ling wasn't so nervous anymore. If it was just a murder case in one of her houses, it wasn't really a big problem.
Soon Ah Xiang led a young woman into the house.
The woman had a high ponytail and a capable demeanor; she must have been one of the elites trained by the Huo family.
"Brother, the person has been brought!"
"Ah."
Cheng Feng responded, then looked at the Huo family woman.
"Mr. Cheng, the head of the family asked me to send his regards to you and said that he would be troubling you this time!"
The woman was not intimidated at all. She bowed gracefully and stood up to speak.
"No need for formalities, let me tell you about the trouble my mother-in-law is facing."
The woman gathered her thoughts and then spoke:
"This happened six days ago. A fire broke out in a detached building outside the Fourth Ring Road. After the fire was extinguished, fourteen bodies were found inside the building."
One of the female corpses had a very strange manner of death; her body was found on the rooftop.
But the rooftop wasn't on fire; the only possibility is that she climbed onto the rooftop herself while still engulfed in flames.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng understood that this must be the matter of Hei Xiazi provoking the immortal artifact.
Cheng Feng also knew the origins of this magical artifact; it had escaped from Thunder City with a tomb raider.
Cheng Feng had originally planned to make some moves, but now it seems that going to Lei City is a good option.
At this moment, Huo Ling asked:
"Does this matter have anything to do with the Huo family?"
The woman did not hide anything and said frankly:
"Miss, this matter is being investigated by your father, and he is at a crucial juncture in his career."
Hearing this, Yang Xueli and A Xiang both seemed to realize something. They usually lived together...
They almost forgot that Huo Ling is also a genuine second-generation red prince.
Chen Wenjin: "Why don't we send Hei Xiazi? He's meticulous and skilled enough to handle this matter properly."
Just then, Black Bear, who was eating a rice bowl with green peppers and shredded pork in the city, sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and continued to eat heartily.
Cheng Feng then quickly said:
"I'm going to the capital to meet up with Old Hu and Fatty anyway, so I'll take this opportunity to look into this matter for my father-in-law."
Hei Xiazi never imagined that if it weren't for Cheng Feng, he would have to live with a magical artifact on his back.
Hearing Cheng Feng say this, the woman sent by the Huo family became somewhat agitated.
The name of this son-in-law was already well-known in the Huo family, and she knew that with Cheng Feng's abilities, this matter would be easily accomplished.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Cheng. With your help, this matter will definitely be resolved!"
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling didn't say anything more. Since Cheng Feng was interested, they decided to let him go; after all, they were family.
It's not really a matter of losing out or not losing out.
After Ah Xiang left with the Huo family women, Huo Ling nestled softly into Cheng Feng's arms, saying sweetly:
"You're so good to me, my husband. I have a surprise for you tonight."
The melodious tone sent chills down Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli's spines. The two women rolled their eyes and left the living room, rubbing their goosebumps.
"Let's skip tonight, daytime is fine. Come on, let's go upstairs and tell each other about the surprise."
They were surrounded by people on their trip to Changbai Mountain, so they didn't have a chance to get close to each other.
Once home, Huo Ling, that little vixen, ignited Cheng Feng's passion with just one sentence. With a coquettish sigh from Huo Ling, Cheng Feng carried the beauty upstairs.
A short while later, a very penetrating sound entered Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli's ears.
The two women cursed Huo Ling inwardly for taking the opportunity to steal food.
That evening, the two girls came to Cheng Feng's place to collect their homework.
As for Huo Ling, she ate too much during the day and couldn't eat anything at night, so she was fast asleep.
After staying at home for three days to handle some matters, Cheng Feng drove to the capital with the Huo family woman.
This time he didn't bring anyone with him. Chen Wenjin needed to manage the girls that Cheng Feng brought back, while Huo Ling and Yang Xueli were to help A Xiang handle the daily affairs of the Unloading Ridge.
Most importantly, Cheng Feng had never encountered a celestial object before, so to avoid unnecessary danger, it was better for him to handle it himself.
After three days of high-speed driving, the SUV, battered by Cheng Feng's relentless driving, finally completed its mission, carrying the two of them to the city of Beijing.
