The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1144 - 113 Triangle Relationship

But they were in a hotel, and their teammate who shared the room could come back at any time. He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie couldn’t be impulsive!

It took a while before the two of them finally separated.

"I’m hungry," He Tiantian said. "What delicious food did you bring me?"

"All your favorites," Huo Yingjie replied with a smile, taking out two boxes from the bag beside him. Inside were mousse cakes that He Tiantian liked and a portion of traditional Chinese pastries known as wife cakes.

He Tiantian was delighted. After washing her hands and pouring some water, she picked up a piece, took a bite, and then offered it to Huo Yingjie in front of her.

Huo Yingjie took it and ate while saying, "Eat slowly, I’ll update you on the situation outside."

"We’ve already found out that Grandma Ma is a sorceress from Thailand and has now taken Xu Weiwei as her apprentice. We wanted to catch them before, but Grandma Ma discovered our plan ahead of time and escaped," Huo Yingjie said, somewhat disappointed with Huashan.

He Tiantian swallowed the cake in her mouth and asked, "They all got away?"

"Grandma Ma could only take one person with her, so she took Xu Weiwei away, and Xu Canyun was left behind in Xiangjiang," Huo Yingjie said. "Up to now, Grandma Ma and Xu Weiwei were the main operatives in our previous mission. Although they have escaped, I’ve left a mark on that sorceress, so I can find them quickly. But before that, I must ensure your safety here in Xiangjiang."

"Are you afraid of the person behind the one who threw sulfuric acid?" He Tiantian asked. "Is that person dead or alive? Any clues?"

"Yes, we’ve located the person who was in contact with Xia Sanqiang—his name is Ah Bin," Huo Yingjie said. "Huashan has gone to investigate, and while we were watching the footage, we noticed a mother and son appearing at the same time as Ah Bin, at an intermediate distance, about six or seven seats away."

"You suspect that woman?" He Tiantian asked. "Could it be a coincidence?"

"There are not so many coincidences in this world," Huo Yingjie said. "Once you’re done eating, I’m going to meet with Huashan. We will probably get some information today."

He Tiantian sighed and said, "Ah, it’s just my bad luck to attract trouble!"

"No, it’s because they don’t understand your worth," Huo Yingjie earnestly replied. "It’s not your fault, so don’t stress about it. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough for me. I’ve got everything else covered."

Hearing this, He Tiantian happily wrapped her arms around Huo Yingjie’s arm and said, "Husband, you’re so good!"

Thumbs up for the husband!

"Oh no, why is the door locked?" A curious voice from Xie Feifei came from outside.

He Tiantian was still looking forward to cuddling with Huo Yingjie when she heard Xie Feifei’s voice.

"I should get going," Huo Yingjie said, kissing He Tiantian on the forehead and then vanished on the spot.

Seeing that Huo Yingjie had left, He Tiantian quickly went to open the door.

"Teacher He, why did you lock the door?" Xie Feifei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My back was itching, so I was scratching it. I locked the door so no one would come in suddenly while I took off my clothes to scratch," He Tiantian explained. Although the excuse was far-fetched, it was understandable.

Xie Feifei suddenly realized, "So that’s what it was! Oh my, why do you have so many pastries here?"

"Uh, Cui Ying brought them over. Are you hungry? You can have some," He Tiantian offered, knowing she couldn’t finish them all by herself.

"Teacher He, you are so kind. I got too excited today and felt shy about indulging in all the wonderful treats." Xie Feifei said, taking a bite of a wife cake, "Wow, this is really good, just as delicious as those from Sanfeng Bridge!"

He Tiantian also thought it was good and planned to buy some more on the way back to show to Master Tang from Sanfeng Bridge and see if he could learn something from them.

Wife cakes are a traditional Chinese pastry, and every chef makes them with a different flavor.

The flavor from this Xiangjiang store was excellent, probably the best wife cake she had ever tried.

After enjoying the pastries and tea.

Xie Feifei asked, "Teacher He, our flight is tomorrow night, can we attend the movie premiere in Xiangjiang you mentioned tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian replied, "Of course, you can! Tomorrow morning is for organized shopping, if you aren’t going, I’ll take you to the premiere."

"Great, I’m in!" Xie Feifei was excited, "Xi Rongrong and Yu Jingjing said earlier in their room they’re going shopping for their families, so they probably won’t be able to come."

"Let’s ask them tomorrow morning. If they don’t go, I’ll take you," He Tiantian said, "After the premiere, we can head back."

Because Huo Yingjie had sent He Tiantian love-infused pastries, she was very happy tonight, especially after meeting many friends at the banquet and having delightful conversations.

It could be said that He Tiantian was very happy that evening.

After leaving He Tiantian’s place, Huo Yingjie went to look for Huashan.

Upon seeing Huo Yingjie, Huashan became somewhat excited and said, "Boss, that Zhaoding Xianghui really is problematic!"

"Oh?" Huo Yingjie was surprised, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

"Zhao Gang is Zhaoding Xianghui’s secret lover," Huashan revealed, "It’s very secretive, and I found out about it through some secret techniques. It seems like Zhaoding Xianghui’s son is actually Zhao Gang’s child. Zhao Gang is actually a distant relative of Zhaoding Xianghui’s husband, related through a great-grandma. It’s as if the two of them conspired to kill her husband and seize control of the Zhao Family’s assets."

"Does this woman have any connection with that Ah Biao we investigated today?" Huo Yingjie asked, considering that Ah Biao was the biggest lead they had uncovered that day.

"Hehe!" Huashan chuckled, "This Ah Biao is a lackey of Zhao Gang, quite handsome, and he’s secretly having an affair with Zhaoding Xianghui. You know, Zhaoding Xianghui is in her thirties."

"Cough, cough!" Huo Yingjie appeared slightly uncomfortable, did he need to understand this?

Seeing Huo Yingjie’s embarrassment, Huashan quickly added, "Moreover, we confirmed that Ah Biao’s involvement in this case is related to Zhaoding Xianghui, as all three times, they were seen together within the same frame. Ah Biao is just a local, born and raised here, having absolutely no connection to the Huo Family or Tiantian. Previously, Zhao Gang had sought a broker to hire a hitman around the time of Tiantian’s incident, which matches up. Now all we need to do is read their memories, and we can get all the answers."

The list of suspects had narrowed, and what remained was no longer a problem!

So, Huo Yingjie first went to find Zhao Gang.

As the boss, Zhao Gang’s place was naturally very luxurious, a large room furnished with great grandeur.

Huashan and Huo Yingjie exchanged glances, seeing the awkwardness in each other’s eyes.

This Zhao Gang, the old scoundrel.

Huo Yingjie gave Huashan a look, signaling him to take care of it.

Huashan, now on the second level of his training, could easily knock out two people.
