After ending the call, Huo Beixiao turned his head sideways to look at Gu Nanyin, who was staring at the ceiling on his back.

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin instinctively reached out and hugged the man's arm: "Bei Xiao, I used to think that after going through so many hardships and dangers, I have become afraid of nothing. But when we were trapped in the desert tonight, I couldn't help but shiver. Am I too vulnerable, you say? ”

Huo Beixiao smiled slightly: "If even you can be called fragile, then there are probably not many women in this world who are strong." You've been brave tonight, at least not much worse than me. ”

Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly and asked, "Are you praising me or praising yourself?" ”

Huo Beixiao raised his eyebrows: "You can understand it however you want." ”

Joking, Gu Nanyin asked Huo Beixiao seriously: "Who do you think will be behind the hiring of those two gangsters?" ”

Huo Beixiao thought for a moment, and replied quietly: "I don't know, but usually the people who conceive this kind of plan should regard us as a thorn in the flesh. According to this clue, the black hand should be someone we know. ”

Hearing the man say this, Gu Nanyin couldn't help but shudder.

Huo Beixiao hugged her in his arms and kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid, no matter what demons and monsters, you have to kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy!" ”

Gu Nanyin said softly: "I know that you will protect me, but you must protect yourself even more." ”

"Understood." Huo Beixiao stroked Gu Nanyin's cheek and fell asleep in each other's nestles.

Early the next morning, Uncle Luo's friend drove the repaired car to his doorstep. Gu Nanyin and Huo Beixiao had a simple breakfast, then said goodbye to Uncle Luo and drove home again.

The two of them rushed to the airport and took the earliest flight of the morning back to City A. According to the greetings made in advance, when they landed at the airport in City A, Lu Qiran was already waiting for them there.

"How's my mom doing?" As soon as he saw his subordinates, Huo Beixiao couldn't wait to ask questions.

Lu Qiran took the luggage and replied with a serious expression: "It's no problem at all, but according to the doctor's advice, Mrs. still needs to be hospitalized in the hospital for a few days for observation." ”

Gu Nanyin frowned and asked, "How can this be so good for food poisoning?" ”

Lu Qiran replied: "We have already sent the food samples for testing, and the specific situation will not be concluded until the test results come out." But there's something very strange about this that I and the rest of the world can't figure it out......"

There weren't many things that could make Lu Qiran so confused, so when he said this, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but be curious.

"What's weird? Let's hear it. ”

At this time, the three of them had already gotten into the car to the hospital, and Lu Qiran answered his boss's question while driving: "Madame had a meal with a few friends yesterday, and almost all of them ate the same food. In the end, only the wife had symptoms of food poisoning. ”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin couldn't help but look at Huo Beixiao suspiciously. Needless to say, she also had the same sense of doubt as Lu Qiran at the moment.

Huo Beixiao crossed his arms and muttered thoughtfully: "Could it be that my mother is a trigger toxin?" ”

Gu Nanyin's pupils contracted for a while, and he asked the man quietly: "Bei Xiao, what are you talking about...... What is it? ”

Huo Beixiao glanced at her, and then replied in a cold tone: "For example, substance A will not be poisoned if ingested alone, and substance B will not be poisoned if ingested alone." However, when two substances are ingested at the same time, symptoms of poisoning occur. Some people refer to these substances as trigger toxins. ”

Gu Nanyin nodded suddenly in realization: "I understand!" But...... Mother, she couldn't have been so coincidentally ......"

Without waiting for Gu Nanyin to finish speaking, Huo Beixiao interjected: "Unless someone deliberately added two toxins to her food." ”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin suddenly shuddered.

"Mr. Huo, if the situation is really as you said, then we must take corresponding action." Lu Qiran suggested.

Huo Beixiao thought for a while and explained to his subordinates: "You should investigate this matter, but don't stir up the crowd, so as not to startle the snake." My mom didn't have to explain anything, she was too old to be under all that messy pressure. ”

"Yes." Lu Qiran nodded and took the order.

Soon, the car came to the People's Hospital of City A. The three of them took the elevator to the ward where Huo's mother lived.

After some greetings, seeing that their mother looked good, Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin were completely relieved. Huo's mother didn't want to burden her son and daughter-in-law, so she asked them to go to work in the company quickly, so as not to soak in their own places and delay their business.

Because there is someone to take care of Huo's mother, Huo Beixiao and they really don't need to worry about anything too much. After having dinner with their elders, they drove back to their home.

The two of them took turns taking a shower and sitting in the living room thinking about their own thoughts. Gu Nanyin held her cheeks with her hands, as if she was particularly concerned about something.

"Bei Xiao, can you listen to me now?"

"Yes, that's it." Huo Beixiao swiped the screen of his mobile phone, not knowing what he was reading. The amazing thing is that he can respond to Gu Nanyin while watching, this kind of multitasking ability is not something that ordinary people can have.

Gu Nanyin sighed and muttered about her thoughts: "Do you think there is any subtle connection between the two things from our attack in the desert yesterday to my mother's food poisoning?" ”

Huo Beixiao put down his phone, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If it weren't for learning that my mother had food poisoning, we wouldn't be in a hurry to rush back overnight." If he hadn't rushed back overnight, he wouldn't have been able to meet those two gangsters. No matter how you look at it, it's a chain of ploy. ”

Gu Nanyin nodded admiringly: "What you think is exactly the same as what I think!" However, we are still facing the same old problem, and we have not caught the clues of the real murderer. That's a real headache......"

Huo Beixiao snorted: "Don't worry, I have a hunch." Even if we don't look for it, the person behind it will come out on its own one day. And that day doesn't seem to be far off. ”

Gu Nanyin came to Huo Beixiao's side and asked the man intently, "Then what should we do next?" ”

Huo Beixiao replied unswervingly: "Get the Ann Group done." We took so much effort to get the money back from City C, didn't we just want to buy that piece of feng shui treasure? Now that you have identified your goal, you need to find a way to achieve it as soon as possible. ”

"You're quite right. It's just that I'm worried that you went to see Anmo on the front foot, and the back foot in D City got the news. ”

Facing Gu Nanyin's worries, Huo Beixiao shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, Xu Jinnan is busy pressuring the Duan Group now." He couldn't take care of it at all in City A. ”
