Chapter 329 Return
Huo Xiuxiu's words of comfort calmed Xie Yuchen down somewhat.
He sighed deeply and said:
"Thank you for the news, Uncle Cheng. As long as he's still alive, that's good. Xiuxiu is right, I will find him someday."
Although Cheng Feng looked similar to them, Xie Yuchen knew that Cheng Feng was much older than he appeared.
It's only natural to call him "uncle".
"Where there's a will, there's a way; perseverance will bring rewards."
Xie Yuchen was really unlucky to have such an uncle, but it was precisely because of the hardships he experienced in his childhood that...
That's what made him the most outstanding figure of the Nine Gates generation. The current Wu Xie is incomparable to Xie Yuchen.
Only the Evil Emperor in the original timeline was truly on par with Xie Yuchen, the Third Master.
After finishing their tea with the two second-generation members of the Nine Gates, they took their leave.
Before leaving, Huo Xiuxiu specifically mentioned that she wanted to take her back to Golmud to see Huo Ling.
Cheng Feng readily agreed; it was only natural for his niece to see her aunt, and he had no reason to refuse.
After Tingnu escorted the two away, Cheng Feng also said goodbye to Yin Zhiyi and returned to his room upstairs.
Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Feng picked up the phone beside him.
After dialing, a woman's voice came from the other end:
"This is the Huo family residence. Who are you looking for?"
The woman's voice sounded young, but her tone suggested she was a decisive and efficient person.
"This is Cheng Feng. Let Huo Xiangu answer the phone."
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's name, the person on the other end remained silent for a moment, their breathing seeming to become heavier. After responding once, they quickly left.
Not long after, another, slightly more steady set of footsteps came from the opposite side.
The phone was picked up, and a deep, magnetic female voice came from the other end:
"Cheng Feng?"
"it's me."
The two confirmed their identities through a question-and-answer session, and then Huo Xiangu spoke first:
"Thank you for your help with the case of the burned corpse."
“You are Xiaoling’s mother, we’re family, there’s no trouble at all.”
Huo Xiangu breathed a sigh of relief. Even she was very nervous in front of Cheng Feng, but now that Cheng Feng admitted they were family, she felt relieved.
Her tense state of mind relaxed a little.
"How is Xiaoling?"
Having not seen her beloved youngest daughter for many years, it would be a lie to say that Huo Xiangu didn't miss her.
However, due to family responsibilities and her husband's political stance, she was unable to meet with Huo Ling.
"That's good. Xiuxiu should have told you, right? I'll bring her with me when I go back in a few days."
Xiaoling, as the aunt, should be very happy to see her own niece.
Cheng Feng remembered his promise to Huo Xiuxiu and mentioned it here.
When Huo Xiangu learned of this, she thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to Huo Xiuxiu's request.
Now that the situation is stabilizing, Huo Xiuxiu is a potential breakthrough point.
She wanted to use Huo Xiuxiu's trip to Golmud to observe the reactions of some people in the capital.
If the response is good, then it's time for her, as a mother, to get moving.
"Cheng Feng, according to the report, you took a body from the scene?"
After chatting about everyday things, Huo Xiangu's tone became more serious.
Cheng Feng gave an affirmative answer:
"That's right, there was something on that corpse. I suspect it was brought out of Thunder City."
It's best if the report over there doesn't contain any information related to Thunder City; even the most rational person would find it hard to resist temptation.
Huo Xiangu knew a little about the affairs of Leicheng. More than ten years ago, Wu Sansheng had sent people to the Eleventh Warehouse to listen for thunder.
The Huo family had paid special attention to this matter, but Wu Sansheng was too cunning, and the Huo family was completely fooled.
In addition, the Huo family had just emerged from a period of decline at the time, so they did not get deeply involved in the matter.
"I understand. I'll handle this. Don't worry."
Huo Xiangu knew the seriousness of the situation. If someone above had any wicked intentions, all eleven warehouses of the Nine Gates would probably be dug up.
After communicating with Huo Xiangu, Cheng Feng had nothing else to deal with in the capital.
Over the next few days, Cheng Feng moved out of the Crescent Moon Hotel and returned to his own courtyard house.
Not far from Panjiayuan, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang weren't too reserved when they came here for drinks.
But all good things must come to an end. On the day before Cheng Feng left, the three of them had another drinking session until they were completely drunk.
The next morning, the two of them still had a hangover from the previous night when they got up.
Before parting, Hu Bayi and Cheng Feng embraced tightly, and Hu Bayi said:
"Old Cheng, come visit Beijing often when you have time."
"Okay, I'll bring Sherry and the others next time I come, and we can drink together then."
Fatty Wang's eyes were filled with reluctance at parting, but he still smiled and said:
"Brother, have a safe trip. Let me know in advance when you come again, and Lao Hu and I will prepare a big meal and good wine for you."
After seeing someone off for a thousand miles, they must eventually part ways. As the car started moving, the two people behind him gradually disappeared from Cheng Feng's sight.
Driving, Cheng Feng arrived at the New Moon Hotel.
Huo Xiuxiu was already waiting by the street below the main gate.
Today she wore a Chinese-style cheongsam, white with pink accents, which made her look both youthful and elegant like a young lady.
Of course, standing next to her was Xie Yuchen, a young actress in a suit.
Upon approaching, Cheng Feng stopped the car, opened the door, and got out.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle Cheng."
The two greeted Cheng Feng separately, and Cheng Feng responded to each of them.
Afterwards, Xie Yuchen helped Huo Xiuxiu put her luggage in Cheng Feng's car.
Before Cheng Feng arrived, the two had already said everything they needed to say, so it didn't take much time before Cheng Feng officially set off back to Golmud.
After several days of driving and stopping, Cheng Feng's off-road vehicle finally entered the Golmud area.
By this time, Huo Xiuxiu had already changed into normal clothes, and at the same time, she had also caught a glimpse of Cheng Feng's true nature.
Even before nightfall, Cheng Feng could conjure up tents and various supplies out of thin air.
Even the inns along the way couldn't compare to the comfort they had.
"The scenery here is so beautiful, Uncle. I've come all this way, so please make sure to take good care of your eldest niece."
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, Huo Ling spoke with a smile.
"No problem. There are many places worth visiting in Golmud. If you come this time, stay a few more days. You can go back whenever you've had enough fun."
Through these few days of interaction, Huo Xiuxiu has become much more familiar with Cheng Feng's personality.
The mischievousness hidden beneath her well-behaved exterior can no longer be concealed.
Chatting and joking along the way, the two soon arrived at Cheng Feng's residence, where they could already see rows of blue warehouses in the distance through the car window.
Upon arriving at the entrance, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect had already opened the gate.
As Cheng Feng passed by, he rolled down his car window and greeted the brothers on duty at the entrance.
With her sharp eyes, Huo Xiuxiu noticed the rocket launchers and automatic rifles placed in the guard post and secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.
My uncle's influence in Golmud is truly terrifying.
