The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1249 - 1217: Found the Fox Spirit

However, this was said behind the backs of the children, as it’s not good to let them hear about the scandals of their elders.

Now, with the situation unclear, Jiang Lifang also didn’t dare to rashly inform the younger ones.

"Cough cough!" When hearing that his wife had said his brother had a mistress and his sister-in-law had gotten so angry she went back to Yanjing, Huo Zhekun, who was drinking tea, choked and started coughing repeatedly.

What in the world is going on! It’s utterly nonsense; his elder brother is not the type of person driven by desires and wouldn’t do such absurd things.

"Be careful." Jiang Lifang hurriedly patted her husband’s back, "You’re so grown and you still choke on water! Let me tell you, if you dare to fool around like your brother, I’ll take action myself and make sure you can’t be a man anymore."

Being a doctor and familiar with the human body, she assured she could do it without anyone noticing.

"Cough cough!" Huo Zhekun, his face awkward, said, "My son, my daughter-in-law are here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

When he was younger, he had never messed around. Now that he’s older, even if he wanted to, it would be a case of the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Besides, he’s currently at the peak of his career and can’t afford to mess up, throwing away his job.

His grandchildren have grown up; how could he dare to do such a thing! He couldn’t afford to lose face!

"Hmph!" Jiang Lifang was displeased, "Anyway, the old man is very angry about this. When you have time, call your brother and ask about the situation. At his age, he shouldn’t be messing up like this. If he’s muddled in his old age, don’t let our entire Huo Family be shamed, making it difficult for the younger ones to face others."

Huo Zhekun nodded, but at the same time felt puzzled and said, "That’s not right. Brother isn’t that kind of person. He values his career very much, and being a very steady person who cares about reputation, he shouldn’t do such things!"

Jiang Lifang thought about how upset the sister-in-law was and sighed, "The sister-in-law doesn’t believe it either, but they saw it with their own eyes, and the brother even threatened her with divorce. It shows he’s either really infatuated, or he’s been bewitched."

Upon hearing about being bewitched, He Tiantian was stunned, and then immediately looked at Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie seemed to have found the key to the situation; outsiders all found it strange, but they only saw the surface and didn’t know what was truly happening.

"I think we should send someone to investigate. In case it really is someone framing uncle, or if uncle really has been bewitched, it could be even more dangerous." Huo Yingjie said, "We can’t afford to be thrown into disarray."

The Huo Family now holds a high position but, at the same time, it’s like being in boiling oil, becoming an object of envy and even a thorn in others’ eyes, so the Huo Family must be even more cautious and careful.

"Hmm." Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "I’ll send someone to take a look. Don’t you know people who are versed in Chinese metaphysics? Let them also have a look."

"Alright." Huo Yingjie nodded, "I’ll make arrangements."

This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later.

At night, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Usually, they would do things they loved doing, but today neither of them was in the mood.

"Brother Yingjie, do you think uncle really has been bewitched?" He Tiantian frowned, "Do you remember? We still have an enemy at large!"

If it’s bewitchment, the suspected individual is very likely to be Xu Weiwei.

"You mean Xu Weiwei?" Huo Yingjie asked, his first reaction also being that woman who inherited Grandma Ma’s mantle.

Last time when he was on the run, he didn’t have the time to investigate, possibly allowing her to grow stronger and bring disaster to the world.

"Yes," He Tiantian answered, "you know, that woman inherited Grandma Ma’s mantle, she must possess formidable skills!"

Huo Yingjie thought for a moment and said: "Alright, I’ll send Huashan to check on it tomorrow."

He’s been too busy with work recently, and did not have time to go there himself.

"Alright, you also be careful," He Tiantian said, "our family has now reached its peak, I’m afraid an accident could trigger a chain reaction, leading to a decline following the prosperity."

"I know, you be careful when you are out too," Huo Yingjie instructed, "you must bring bodyguards and Cui Ying with you!"

The couple settled on their plans through the night, and Huashan was also sent on a business trip to Nanhu Province.

Just as Huo Yingjie went out for work, Li Xian hurriedly came back from outside.

"Huh?" He Tiantian curiously asked, "Weren’t you out filming? Why did you rush back all of a sudden?"

Li Xian took a sip of jasmine tea, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Oh, do you remember when you fell onto the small island during Demon Night, and I felt that you were in danger in the Demon Realm? In my haste, I tore open a Spatial Rift, and didn’t notice that two demons were close by. They moved quickly and also escaped through the Spatial Rift. I got a clear look, one of them was a Fox Spirit. I was filming in Nanhu City and I felt her presence nearby. I investigated and found that she had disguised herself as a very prestigious local businesswoman. I wanted to capture her, but was stopped by another woman. That woman used witchcraft that my spells couldn’t defeat. Then I remembered that Yingjie was tracking a disciple of a Sorcerer before, and lost track of him, so I hurried here to tell him, so we could go deal with them together."

He Tiantian was stunned to hear this!

One Xu Weiwei was enough trouble, and now there was also a Fox Spirit!

Li Xian just mentioned that two creatures had escaped before, but what was the other creature?

"Li Xian, what about the other creature?" He Tiantian asked, "What is that? Don’t you know?"

Li Xian scratched his head and said: "Haven’t found it yet! If that Fox Spirit can keep to herself, I can’t be bothered with her. But she’s been using her seductive powers, luring many officials into corrupt dealings, even offering herself as a concubine to your uncle, becoming your uncle’s mistress, bewitching him completely."

He Tiantian was dumbfounded once again.

Huashan had just left, and now Li Xian brought such explosive news, even finding the mistress, and it turned out to be a Fox Spirit.

What’s more worrisome to He Tiantian was that this Fox Spirit had actually formed an alliance with the Sorcerer Xu Weiwei. So the Fox Spirit’s targeting of Huo Zheqian must have a deeper meaning!

"Then I need to call Brother Yingjie right away," He Tiantian said urgently, "so that it’s not too late and causes a disaster!"

He Tiantian went to call Huo Yingjie, but he was in a meeting.

He Tiantian was very anxious and thought about going to Huo Yingjie herself, but she knew that just the security checkpoint at Huo Yingjie’s workplace would take two hours.

Thinking of this, He Tiantian dismissed the idea of going there.

She continued calling Huo Yingjie’s workplace, and the call was answered by his recently assigned female assistant. He Tiantian said: "Tell Chief Engineer Huo, his wife is in trouble, right now, immediately!"

He Tiantian had been polite before, but with the situation being urgent, she couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
