Chapter 41: Special Badges

It was half past four, and the stage was emptied.

Not long after, someone brought up a brocade box containing a ghost seal.

"Congratulations to Little Third Master Wu." Yu Konghou, that is, the female foreman wearing a peony cheongsam before, personally held the brocade box and sent it to Wu Xiaoxie.

Wu Xiaoxie opened it and checked it, and asked the little brother to confirm that it was correct before taking out the black gold card and handing it to Yu Konghou.

After paying the bill, the card returned to Zhang Qixun's hand.

The people on the second floor had already begun to disperse, and Huo Xiangu didn't plan to stay longer, so she got up with her hands.

"Wait." Zhang Qixun suddenly stopped her, "Old Mrs. Huo, the junior has something to give you."

Huo Xiangu paused slightly, held Xiuxiu's arm, turned around and said lightly, "Ordinary things, I can't look at them."

Zhang Qixun smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, you must be very satisfied with such a thing."

As he spoke, he took out a small cuboid ebony box from the space with the action of pulling out of the inner pocket of his suit.

Huo Xiuxiu stepped forward to take it and handed it to Huo Xiangu.

Zhang Qixun made a gesture of please, "You can open it and take a look."

The ebony box is the size of an adult's palm and has a lock on it.

Huo Xiangu opened the box, but the moment she saw what was placed inside, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Where did you get this?" Huo Xiangu quickly closed the box, staring straight at Zhang Qixun, the expression on her face was shocked, and she wanted to hide her emotions as much as she could, which looked a little distorted and terrifying.

If you look closely, you will see that her hands are actually trembling slightly.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Huo Xiuxiu didn't understand why her grandmother's emotions were suddenly so intense, and she stepped forward to support her worriedly.

She wanted to go see the box, but Huo Xiangu raised her hand slightly to avoid it.

Huo Xiuxiu frowned and looked at Zhang Qixun, "What did you put in the box?"

Zhang Qixun's expression was calm, "Naturally, it is the thing that Mrs. Huo has always wanted to know about her whereabouts."

Huo Xiuxiu still wanted to ask, but Huo Xiangu raised her hand to stop her.

In just a few breaths, Huo Xiangu's face had returned to normal, but there was still a trace of grief in her eyes that could not be concealed.

"What do you want from me, or rather, what do you want from the Huo family?" She asked in a deep voice.

"Not so serious." Zhang Qixun smiled lightly, "I just hope that the old lady can be honest, after all, we still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Oh, also, half of the money for today's lot, after all, Wu Xie was cheated by you, and you still have to pay for this mental damage." Zhang Qixun pointed to the brocade box in Wu Xiaoxie's hand again.

As soon as he heard this, the fat man immediately gave Zhang Qixun a thumbs up.

Although he didn't know what was in the little box.

But it didn't prevent him from gloating after seeing the old woman deflated.

Huo Xiangu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and saw that Zhang Qixun's expression didn't seem to be fake, and she turned a few corners in her mind, and said meaninglessly: "It seems that you do know a lot of things."

Then he tilted his head slightly, "Xiuxiu, transfer money to him."

Zhang Qixun smiled and squinted his eyes, like a raccoon cat who had succeeded in his scheme.

You see, it's still very useful to like collecting things, and it's still very useful to be prepared, and the extra losses will make up for it.

"But......" Huo Xiangu's voice changed, "You have to explain the ins and outs of such a thing to me."

"No problem." Zhang Qi is indispensable for self-search.

After a few words, the people outside had almost dispersed.

The two people walked downstairs one after another and went out from the lobby of the Crescent Hotel.

Coincidentally, their car happened to be parked near the Huo family's car.

Zhang Qixun's hand suddenly paused when he opened the car door, as if he sensed something, turned around and walked to Huo Xiangu's red flag car, and motioned for her to roll down the window.

"What?" There was a hint in Huo Xiangu's expression

Impatient.

After all, she is an old man, and she didn't get a favor from these young people, but let her family be a general, and now she naturally doesn't want to see these little fox cubs.

"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the old lady for you to give us a ride." Zhang Qixun smiled cheekily.

Huo Xiangu snorted, "Didn't you kid show himself with ease before, why can't you even protect the things in your hands, and you still need to borrow my Huo family's power."

Zhang Qixun raised his eyebrows, "You said Liulisun? He doesn't make me so jealous, I'm talking about another bunch of rats hiding in the shadows."

Huo Xiangu realized something, and her face changed, "You mean......

Then, as if avoiding something, he lowered his voice, "Then let's follow."

The two communicated like a dumb riddle, and the others who listened were confused.

"Thank you, old lady."

Zhang Qi said thank you, and then beckoned Wu Xiaoxie and them to get in the car, and drove the Mercedes-Benz they rented to join the Huo family's convoy.

More than a dozen red flag cars drove up, and the rats in the shadows really cared about the power of the Huo family, and did not make a move on the road.

Zhang Qixun and his entourage successfully came to a very mysterious compound community, and the guards at the door were all loaded with guns.

When the car passes by, you can also run into the patrol team inside.

It's really big, and the car drove in for nearly ten minutes before finally stopping at a place with a lot of courtyard houses.

All kinds of towering ancient trees grow out of the courtyard wall, the shade is luxuriant, the big road and the path paved with bluestone slabs crisscross together, there is quite a kind of winding path leading to the secluded place, and the ancient charm of the flowers and trees in the meditation room is deep.

The old lady took her men and walked away from another road, leaving Huo Xiuxiu and a bodyguard driver named Xiao Li behind.

"Let's go." Huo Xiuxiu straightened out her wrinkled clothes and carried a small bag, "I'll take you in from the alley, and give the car keys to Xiao Li to park."

Zhang Qixun didn't say anything, followed Huo Xiuxiu into the small alley mottled with shade, and walked until the end, only to see a very inconspicuous small wooden door there.

There was an old-fashioned piggyback lock hanging on the door, Huo Xiuxiu took a small hairpin from her hair, and after two clicks in the keyhole, the lock opened.

The fat man muttered in a small voice, "This girl is more skilled at stealing doors and picking locks than the fat man."

After Huo Xiuxiu heard this, she rolled her eyes elegantly.

Push open the door and go in, inside is a neatly kept, well-organized, large yard.

Mrs. Huo sat by the well under the persimmon tree in the courtyard and drank tea.

The small ebony box that Zhang Jixun "gave" to her was placed on the stone table at hand.

"Sit down." Huo Xiangu glanced at them lightly, raised her hand and pointed to the spare chair beside the stone table.

Zhang Qixun asked a few people to go over and sit down.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and no one was speechless for a while, as if they were more calm than anyone else.

Wu Xiaoxie was holding the brocade box in his arms, and he deliberately smiled to break the deadlock, "Granny Huo, if you don't speak, is it possible that you still plan to let me light a sky lantern?"

Huo Xiangu snorted angrily, "I, Mrs. Huo, don't play the same trick twice, the reason why I agree to you to rub the car is just because I am willing to gamble and lose, plus I want to hear something from your guy's mouth."

Wu Xiaoxie turned his head to look at Zhang Qixun, and when he saw him bowing slightly, he said to Huo Xiangu, "Etiquette is still exchanged, you tell me about Style Lei first."

Huo Xiangu snorted lightly, got up with the ebony box, and said, "You just want to know the reason why I bought the style thunder, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, but this is the news that can only be told within the nine gates, and the three of them do not belong to the nine gates, so please stay outside the door."

Wu Xiaoxie turned around and glanced at Zhang Qixun and the others, then handed the brocade box containing the ghost seal to Zhang Qixun, got up and followed Huo Xiangu into the wing room.

Zhang Qixun and the three stayed in the courtyard, and Huo Xiuxiu was also on the side.

Seeing that Mrs. Huo was not there, she turned around and sat on the chair, poked her head and looked at Zhang Qixun several times, blinking her eyes with a strange look

Playful, much more lively than following Huo Xiangu before.

"Hey, I know you're definitely not Brother Wu's little follower, can you tell me what you put in the little box you gave to my grandmother?" Huo Xiuxiu was a little puzzled, "I've never seen my grandmother lose her temper like that, so there must be something very important in it."

The fat man snorted in surprise, "Brother Wu Xie? It's so affectionate, why didn't you report it when your grandmother was pit on us."

Huo Xiuxiu scratched her ears and pouted, "Where do I dare, besides, I don't even have your contact information, where can I send you a message."

"Brother Xiaohua didn't tell me that the person who came was Brother Wu Xie, and I only knew a few things about my grandmother's cooperation with him." Huo Xiuxiu herself was also very depressed.

Obviously, she is 19 years old and has long been an adult, but her grandmother and Xie Yuchen always treat her as a child and hide everything from her.

Zhang Qixun poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said lightly: "Your grandmother doesn't tell you, so naturally she has a reason."

Huo Xiuxiu knew that this would be the result, and then her eyes rolled, "It's better to do this, we exchange information, you tell me what's in that box, and I'll tell you some information I know, how about it?"

"Not very well." Zhang Qixun was not fooled at all.

Although Huo Xiuxiu, this little girl, is not very old, but the successor personally trained by Mrs. Huo looks innocent on the surface, but in fact, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp when she is serious.

"If you really want to know, you might as well ask your grandmother, or take a look yourself." Zhang Qi searched.

Huo Xiuxiu's thin eyebrows wrinkled, "Why are you like this, since that box was in my grandmother's hands, she hasn't left her side an inch, if I have a chance to peek, I still need to ask you."

Zhang Qixun raised his eyelids, "Then there is no way, I probably know the information you know, and if you cooperate in the future, your grandmother will tell me more detailed information."

Huo Xiuxiu was almost angry with this guy who didn't eat oil and salt, knowing that he couldn't get any information here, he glared at him sullenly, and walked away quickly on his high heels.

Seeing that the person was gone, the fat man poked Zhang Qixun, "Hey, Muyu, what are you in that box, why did the old woman react so much."

Zhang Qixun smiled lightly, and spit out two words in his mouth, "Forbidden woman."

"What's that?" The fat man exclaimed, and quickly lowered his voice, "How did you get that thing?" No, when did you get it?"

The little brother also turned his head to look at it, with a faint doubt in his eyes.

If he hadn't lost his memory, the little brother would definitely have guessed that the things that Zhang Qixun gave the box were when they were in the Golmud Sanatorium, and when he entered the iron gate to save Wu Xiaoxie, he was scratched by Huo Ling, who had become a forbidden woman, and then he cut off that claw and took it out.

At that time, it was just put into the box and put it in the inner space, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

Zhang Qixun explained softly, and the fat man called out fate, "Wonderful, it's just wonderful, one paw nets 300 million."

"But there's something weird." The fat man was puzzled, "The forbidden woman looks like a person and a ghost, with only one paw, how did the old woman recognize that it was Huo Ling."

This has to be said to be a coincidence.

Zhang Qixun explained, "The claw I cut off has a ring on it, imperial green, and I noticed that Huo Xiangu also wears an identical one on her hand."

"This kind of imperial green jadeite of the old pit is a rare thing, let alone made into such a small ornament, it is very likely that the two rings are cut from a piece of material, so Huo Xiangu can recognize it at a glance."

"Moreover, I think Huo Xiangu should still have some guesses about the situation after her daughter's disappearance, the reason why she asked Wu Xie to buy that style thunder is actually to cooperate with us." Zhang Qixun affirmed.

"The previous behavior was more of a test of Wu Xie and a test of our abilities.

The fat man was still puzzled, "Good decent, what is she trying us to do? Could it be that it has something to do with her daughter who has become a forbidden woman?"

Zhang Qixun nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, otherwise she wouldn't react so much, but this is also beneficial to us, in short, the style thunder that naïve found is definitely the key to the whole thing, maybe there is some kind of connection with Banai's underwater Yao Village, she should soon offer to cooperate with us."

The fat man took a sip of tea, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the badge you asked me to check with Naive Innocence last time, we found a little bit of an eyebrow in that old research institute that was about to be demolished."

Zhang Qixun looked at him expectantly, waiting for his next step.

The little brother stopped drinking the tea and stared at him intently.

The fat man touched his nose and said in a muffled voice: "But don't get too hopeful about the two of you, the information found there is a little bit bigger, I only know that the badge used to be a very special symbol of the army."

Zhang Qixun twisted his eyebrows, "Special forces?"

"That's right." The fat man nodded, "We only found a tattered piece of paper in the corner, and the pen on it was too damp to read, but there was an outline watermark on that paper, which looked like the badge."

Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand eagerly, "Where's the paper? I'll see."

The fat man took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and in the middle of the aluminum foil and cardboard shells, he crossed his fingers and fingernails together, and pinched out a small piece of thin paper from it.
