Xie Junfei is Huo Shen's fiancée and has the absolute right to know about the old house.

So Holland told Xie Junfei everything that had happened, down to the smallest detail.

Xie Junfei listened very attentively, pondering as he listened.

These so-called "elders" of the Huo family are nothing more than collateral branches of the Huo family who did not inherit the family property.

Back then, the old patriarch felt sorry for his brothers and sisters, so he divided his family property and shares into a 40/60 split.

Sixty percent of it was left to the younger generation, while the remaining forty percent was distributed among his dozen or so brothers and sisters.

Through generations of hard work and dedication, the main branch of the Huo family, led by Huo Shen and Huo Lan, has carried forward and expanded the Huo family business.

Meanwhile, his brothers and sisters were either prostitutes or gamblers, eventually squandering almost all of their antique properties except for the shares.

When they finally had nowhere else to go, they stayed in their ancestral home and refused to leave.

Because he still held 40% of the Huo family's shares, Huo Mingqian was afraid that if he let them out, something might happen and the shares would be bought by competitors, so he simply kept them at the old house.

He then handed over the position of family head to Huo Shen, who had become famous at a young age, and then stayed in the ancestral home under the guise of retirement to suppress these useless clansmen.

Huo Shen lived up to his father's expectations, and during this period he continuously undermined the alliance among the "elders" by acquiring shares and instigating internal strife.

To date, their original 40% stake has dwindled to a mere 20%.

At this point, Holland sighed softly:

"Originally, Huo Shen wanted to wait a few more years, until those old geezers either got sick or died, and then pry the shares back."

"I didn't expect those old geezers to be the first to give in and actually court death by offering themselves up."

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei nodded and said earnestly:

"So Zhao Feier was just a pawn they used to test Huo Shen?"

"She is a pawn that the elders have promoted according to Huo Shen's preferences, so naturally she will also side with the elders."

“If things go well, and she gives birth to a new heir, it will be much easier for the elders to get rid of Huo Shen. Then, the people in charge of the Huo family will be Zhao Feier and this ‘little prince’.”

"By then, Huo Mingqian will be old, and the little prince will still be an infant. That idiot Zhao Feier will definitely be obedient to the elders."

"The main branch of the Huo family is finished."

Hearing her analysis, Holland nodded in satisfaction. She was indeed the woman Huo Shen had his eye on; she was a promising young woman.

However, she quickly gleaned some clues from Xie Junfei's words, and disregarding the family infighting, she leaned close to the girl with a gossipy expression:

"You are right."

"But what do you mean by 'a pawn promoted according to Huo Shen's preferences'? How do you know what kind of woman Huo Shen likes?"

Xie Junfei glanced at her, puzzled.

"What do you mean 'how would I know'? Of course I know!"

"Huo Shen likes me. He fell in love with me at first sight."

"Didn't you notice that Zhao Feier looks a lot like me?"

Upon hearing this, Holland immediately stroked his chin and looked her up and down, then said seriously:

"They do look somewhat alike, but they're still different. You're much prettier than her."

"And she's also an incompetent fool, even worse."

Hearing her say that, Xie Junfei chuckled and ignored Huo Lan's teasing. She simply lowered her eyes to look at the information about the Huo family elders that Huo Lan had just sent her.

She took charge of the Qin family when she was fifteen. The Qin family had also been involved in the gray market in their early years, and even after they retired from the gray market, they had not completely cleaned up their gray businesses.

Almost no one knows that the largest private detective organization in the capital belongs to the Qin family.

Although Qin's father held onto these things tightly.

But with the Qin family's bankruptcy, Mrs. Huo handed over the Qin family's assets to her.

This power would then belong entirely to him.

After the plane landed, Holland flew back to her old house. Lu Wanzhou helped her with the aftermath, and Holland was the first to sit in the nanny van that came to pick up the artist.

In the car, she sent the elder's information to her former assistant at the Qin family and instructed her:

"Investigate these people thoroughly and see if there's anything we can use against them."

"Investigate to the death, no matter how much money it costs."

The assistant immediately said he understood, took the task, and left.

Before leaving, he sent her a whole document:

"Mr. Xie, this is all of Zhao Feier's information. Please take a look."

Xie Junfei opened it casually.

Zhao Feier was born in an orphanage in Northeast China. She was adopted by an elder of the Huo family when she was three years old and raised in the old house, growing up with Huo Shen.

At the age of fifteen, Huo Shen went to study at Eton College, while Zhao Feier remained in her old family home in Shanxi, receiving her domestic education.

The two never saw each other again.

Upon seeing this information, Xie Junfei sneered.

It seems this elder has quite a dream.

It's been so long since we last met, and those idiots Zhao Feier and the elders actually dared to try and interfere in her relationship with Huo Shen.

However, as she continued reading, she noticed a line of small print:

"There's something fishy about the orphanage where Zhao Feier is. Previous mission data showed that this orphanage was used to hold 'beauty pageants' for high-ranking officials and even involved in industries like pornography."

"And the power behind the orphanage belongs to the Huo family of Shanxi."

Upon seeing this, she immediately widened her eyes and sent the message to her assistant, instructing him to investigate in that direction.

After finishing all this, Xie Junfei let out a soft breath.

She had a premonition that this matter was related to the Huo family elders.

That will be the strongest evidence to bring down the elders in the future.

After she finished dealing with these matters and went to browse other information, she realized that something terrible had happened.

Her older brothers, led by her eldest brother, made dozens of phone calls and sent her hundreds of messages.

But because she was on the plane, she didn't see any of them.

Then I thought of the bold words I had left for my elder brother before I left.

This is the first time I've felt this way about Mr. Xie, who is fearless and audacious.

The sky is falling.

Although she is still on the run, her brothers' concern still touched her.

So she sent her older brother a message, simply letting him know she was safe.

The eldest brother remained silent.

On the contrary, Xie Ze, the sixth brother who was an inside man, kindly reminded her:

"Little sister, you have to be careful. Make sure you hide well so it's safe."

“Our brothers have split into two groups. One group is staking out the Huo family’s old house, and the other group has found your flight and is now heading to the Northeast to look for you. Be careful.”

"However, you are not allowed to live in any remote or secluded corner; it's dangerous."

"Buy more clothes after you take my brother's money. It's cold in Northeast China, remember to wear more clothes."

"If my older brother finds out I'm sick, it will be an even bigger crime."

After that, several large transfers were made.

Xie Junfei was deeply moved to see that among her brothers there were still those who understood her.

Touched, she was also somewhat heartbroken at her brother's actions in chasing after her.

Other people's stories are about domineering CEOs chasing their wives across thousands of miles, only to end up in a nightmare.

My older brother is doing well. He finally became a domineering CEO, and then he finally crossed a thousand miles.

What he actually did was use a rolling pin to capture her, this rebellious brat who was planning to elope with an old man, and bring her home!

Brother, are you sure you can do this?!

The thought of facing his older brother's wrath filled Xie Junfei with despair and helplessness, like a kitten paralyzed on an operating table after being spayed.

Outside the car window, Lu Wanzhou cautiously knocked on the window:

"Miss Xie, I'm back."

"Director Wen just asked us when we'll arrive."

The business had to continue, so Xie Junfei sat up abruptly and opened the car door for Lu Wanzhou:

"Right away, right away! Tell Director Wen we'll be there shortly!"

Lu Wanzhou nodded obediently, and then tapped away on her phone to reply to Wenren Yue's messages.

Looking at Lu Wanzhou's handsome profile, Xie Junfei sighed softly.

She had a very high opinion of Lu Wanzhou.

He was so fond of her that even if he was put in solitary confinement, he would still come and take her to the film set.

Because Lu Wanzhou has the potential to be a movie queen.

Even Holland after seeing Lu Wanzhou's performance video.

They even asserted that as long as she acts well and doesn't cause trouble, her future prospects are even better than those of Wang Yu'er, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner.

The van headed towards the suburbs.

The artist team that Huo Lan arranged for Lu Wanzhou had already met with the crew and was now waiting for them to arrive.

Upon arrival, Xie Junfei and Lu Wanzhou got out of the car, and Wenren Ge greeted them.

He smiled and said:

"Only Wan Zhou is missing from the crew."

"The movie has already started filming. Isn't it a coincidence that we've run into Mr. Qiao's team?"

"Since you're already here, and Mr. Qiao and the lead actors from his production team are also here, why don't you go and say hello to him?"

Xie Junfei had been on a plane for several hours and was currently feeling quite groggy.

Hearing him say that, I tried hard to recall information about Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao is indeed making a movie recently. Who is the lead actor again?

Before Xie Junfei could react, she heard a familiar voice.

The tone even carried a hint of gritted teeth:

"Little sister, you've really become quite capable."

"She even learned to run away from home behind her brothers' backs?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei was completely jolted awake.

She stiffly raised her head.

Holy crap, isn't that her fifth brother who's out filming movies?!
