Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus Chapter 266

When the copy of the pattern in Wu Xie's hand was sent back to the Huo family, the old lady held it tightly as if it were a treasure, and even forbade her most beloved granddaughter Huo Xiuxiu to take a look at it. She closed the door alone and devoted herself to studying the picture.

Meanwhile, bored Huo Xiuxiu begins an adventure full of surprises at home. She explores everywhere and eventually makes a surprising discovery in Mrs. Huo's study.

While no one was around, Huo Xiuxiu quickly took out her cell phone and took pictures of these curious things. Then, she walked out of the room as if nothing had happened and told the housekeeper that she was going to Hua Mansion to find Xie Yuchen.

The housekeeper did not suspect anything because the Huo family and the Xie family were both members of the Nine Gates, and Huo Xiuxiu had visited the Hua Mansion many times before to visit the young master.

After successfully hiding the secret from everyone, Huo Xiuxiu took the secret information in her phone to a photography shop deep in an alley. She spent some money to rent the shop for the entire afternoon.

In the store, Huo Xiuxiu was busy alone, she carefully developed those mysterious photos and made sure to completely destroy the negatives without leaving any traces. Finally, she left the alley with satisfaction and disappeared into the crowd.

Huo Xiuxiu did not deceive anyone, she really went to find Xie Yuchen.

"Brother Xie, long time no see!" After getting Xie Yuchen's consent, Huo Xiuxiu was led into his office by his secretary.

"Oh, it turns out to be the young lady of the Huo family. I wonder if Miss Huo has anything important to tell me today?" Xie Yuchen was quite surprised that this girl who was closely guarded by Old Lady Huo would come to him on her own initiative.

"Well...I want to talk to you about something. It's about my aunt and the others."

Huo Xiuxiu sat on the sofa, looking a little uneasy. After all, the entire upper class circle in Yanjing knew that Xie Yuchen's father had unfortunately passed away during the incident in Xisha, and he had gone to sea with the Huo family. Although Huo Xiuxiu didn't know the specific situation, she knew that her grandmother had been looking for the whereabouts of her aunt Huo Ling.

"What's the news about the expedition team back then? I wonder what kind of news Miss Huo can provide me, and what do you want to exchange for it?" Xie Yuchen is a qualified businessman. He not only has the knowledge taught by his grandfather and father during the transition from the old era to the new era, but also has new elements that have spread from China to abroad in the new era.

Xie Yuchen had no good feelings towards this little girl who was once pushed by Old Lady Huo and wanted to be married to him as a child, but he also had nothing bad to say about her.

But the two families began to drift apart after his grandfather passed away, or in other words, after his grandfather, Master Xie Jiu of the Nine Gates, passed away, their Xie family had little relationship with the Nine Gates and had begun to break away from them.

Therefore, Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu could only be considered as friends when they were young, and Huo Xiuxiu had seen him twice in the corner of his circle. It can be said that Huo Xiuxiu knew him, but he did not know Huo Xiuxiu.

After all, one is an important baby who has been at the core since childhood, and the other is just a daughter of a small family in a corner. They have nothing to do with each other in any way.

"I don't want to change anything. After all, Uncle Xie went out with the people from Jiumen, but something happened to him and he didn't come back. We couldn't even find him..." No matter how much Huo Xiuxiu was protected by Old Lady Huo, she was from a big family after all. For someone like Xie Yuchen, whom even her grandmother wanted to curry favor with, she had to maximize the benefits of this news.

"Not long before Xie Lianhuan went to the Xisha Islands, his grandfather had expelled him from the Xie family and even crossed out his name from the family tree. You don't need to feel guilty, this is the path he chose himself." Xie Yuchen had sharp eyes and guessed Huo Xiuxiu's plan in a second and directly exposed the fact that Xie Lianhuan was no longer a member of the Xie family.

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes widened when she heard this, her mouth slightly opened, and she looked incredulous: "Brother Xie, let's not talk about this topic. I found this in grandma's study. I saw that there are images of Qilin carved on the pillars on this type of thunder. I think this should be related to you, Brother Xie."

As she spoke, she handed the photo in her hand to Xie Yuchen, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.

After Xie Yuchen took the photo, he frowned and looked at Yangshi Lei carefully. He was also wondering why Mrs. Huo was so interested in Yangshi Lei? Was there any secret?

When he saw the Qilin pattern on the photo, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He couldn't help but think of something his father had told him when he was a child, but he couldn't remember the specific details.

At this moment, an astonishing idea flashed through his mind - could it be that these style thunders have some connection with his father's family?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he decided to put the matter aside for now and investigate it later.

"When did your grandmother start asking people to buy Yangshilei everywhere?" Xie Yuchen looked at them one by one, feeling a little angry.

The drawings on these photos depicted the places Zhang Qiling had taken him to when he was a child. Every place was the same, even the location of the mechanism and how to close it were clearly described.

He realized the seriousness of the problem. If these style thunders were really related to his father's family's ancestral tomb, it meant that someone had already mastered the structure and layout of the ancestral tomb. This could pose a huge threat to the family.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchen's face turned gloomy. He was determined to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and protect the interests of the family. At the same time, he began to doubt Mrs. Huo's motives and intentions.

He knew that this matter was by no means simple, and there might be a deeper conspiracy and calculation behind it. He learned from his father that there was a group of maggots who liked to hide behind people, and they always thought that his father's family had the art of immortality, and they had been plotting behind the scenes to get him.

Xie Yuchen looked at the photo in his hand and couldn't help but think of the worst. Was Mrs. Huo really just looking for her daughter who had disappeared for more than 20 years? If she was just looking for her daughter, why would she specifically ask someone to look for the architectural drawings of other people's ancestral tombs? Was there someone hiding behind her? Could it be the maggots in the gutter that Xiaodie had told him about - the Wang family?

Xie Yuchen put the photo on the table and smiled amiably, "Ms. Huo, I have to thank you for the clues you sent me. Just think of it as a favor I, Xie Yuchen, owe you. No matter what difficulties you have in the future, you can ask me for them, as long as I have them."

Huo Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel happy. She was half-way connected with the Prince of Yanjing. As long as she didn't do anything to anger the Prince, she could take over the Huo family smoothly.

"This is what I should do. After all, we owe it to your Xie family." Huo Xiuxiu stopped talking and packed up her bag. "It's getting late. I should go back, otherwise grandma will be worried."

Without waiting for Xie Yuchen to say anything, Huo Xiuxiu stood up, said goodbye to Xie Yuchen, and left Xie Yuchen's office.

After the people left, Xie Yuchen took out the photo in his hand again and looked at it carefully. He was still thinking about the photo in his hand until he returned home.
