Overlord, he played off

A woman next to Huo Kailin, Huo Zhenlin's first daughter, Huo Yalan, looked around and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you come back?"

The old lady inserted an apple from the fruit plate, glanced at her, and then said: "Your sister-in-law has gone to send your father off."

As soon as the old lady stretched out her hand, the emerald ring on her hand attracted Huo Yalan's attention, and her attention was immediately diverted, "Old lady, was this ring taken last time in Hong Kong City?"

The old lady nodded with a smile, "You have sharp eyes."

Huo Yalan exclaimed, "This head of water is really good, it suits you..."

This topic attracted the attention of the other two women on the table, Huo Kailin's wife and Huo Yali, and the four women began to talk about jewelry.

Huo Kun heard that he was bored, and didn't want to join the topic of Huo Kailin and Huo Kaiyan beside him, so he took some fruit from the fruit plate and pretended to concentrate on watching the show.

Before Xu Shi came, seeing Yu Hanyan eating small kumquats left an impression on him. Huo Kun didn't notice that he subconsciously took a small kumquat from the fruit plate.

Huo Kun remembered Yu Hanyan's advice, so he peeled the small kumquat and ate only the pitiful pulp inside.

Huo Kun peeled half of the skin, the old lady turned her head, and looked at Huo Kun's movement of peeling the kumquat with complicated eyes. No one noticed, and the inconspicuous light in her cloudy eyes suddenly softened a lot.

Not only the old lady noticed Huo Kun's movements, but everyone at the table who followed the old lady noticed Huo Kun's movements.

Huo Kailin, the most reckless, burst out laughing directly. He pointed at Huo Kun and laughed uncontrollably, and said, "Huo Kun, how can you eat small kumquats and peel them? You have never seen such a thing before, right?"

His words also expressed the doubts in the hearts of many people present. He had long heard that Huo Kun was an orphan before he was brought back, and his life was very difficult, but how difficult is it? The young master and miss really couldn't imagine it, but seeing Huo Kun peeling the little kumquat now, I couldn't help but wonder, maybe it was so difficult that I couldn't even afford the little kumquat before, so I didn't know that the little kumquat didn't need to be peeled to eat?

Huo Kun paused, and looked at Huo Kailin in surprise.

Seeing Huo Kun's surprised look, Huo Kailin thought that Huo Kun was surprised when he heard that the little kumquats did not need to be peeled, and felt that this kid was ignorant and a poor man from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Huo Kun was surprised by the reactions of Huo Kailin or everyone on the table.

He clearly remembered that Yu Hanyan said that peeling and eating small kumquats was the Huo family's rule. He thought he didn't know because he came back late, but the reactions of everyone present all showed one thing, the Huo family didn't have such bloody rules at all.

Could it be that Yu Hanyan was playing tricks on him on purpose?

Huo Kun looked at his hands that were stained with juice from peeling the small kumquat, paused, and said, "I just don't like to eat its skin."

Huo Kailin only thought that Huo Kun was trying to save his respect, and his smile became more and more smug.

The old lady suddenly asked Huo Kun, "It's been so long since you came back, and I haven't asked you how you came here when you were young."

Huo Kun looked at the old lady, and saw that the old lady didn't have Huo Kailin's sneer in her eyes. She really wanted to know about Huo Kun's life when he was a child.

Huo Kun continued to peel the little kumquats. When he talked about his childhood, he didn't hide anything, and he didn't feel ashamed because of poverty when he talked about the past, as if stating the facts, but there was some nostalgia in his eyes.

"I was brought up by my grandma. My grandma didn't have a job. At that time, my income was only a few hundred yuan in pensions. My grandma was enough to live alone, but it was a bit difficult to take me with me. My grandma took me to work while taking care of me. Although the income Not high, but barely getting by."

Huo Kun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, recalling the past, his heart was always warm and sore, he paused, and said: "Although I am not rich, I grew up healthy and healthy under the protection of my grandma. , It's a pity that grandma is not in good health..."

When Huo Kun said this, his hands froze, and he didn't continue speaking. The smile on his mouth also stopped abruptly, and his lips were tightly pressed together.

The old lady didn't ask any more questions. He patted Huo Kun's head and said lovingly, "You are a good boy, unlike your mother."

Huo Kun felt the old lady touch him, his whole body froze, and when he heard the old lady mentioned the woman, he pursed his lips even tighter.

After the old lady finished speaking, she also took a small kumquat from the table and peeled it slowly. Huo Kun noticed that the old lady was abnormal.The old lady has always had a gentle and kind appearance, she is kind and gentle to everyone, but this is just an appearance, if you really get close, you will find that her gentleness is covered with a bottomless thick cold ice.

Just as she treats these illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters on the surface, but in reality they are very indifferent and alienated. From the first time he saw the old lady, Huo Kun knew that the old lady was dissatisfied with him, or not just him, with all the illegitimate children. Therefore, he never took the initiative to approach.

But just now, when the old lady touched her head, he seemed to feel the temperature of the old lady hidden under the thick layer of ice. Perhaps the loving expression on the old lady's face at that moment was real and not false.

The old lady peeled the little kumquats carefully, "You all don't know, but Jun Hao actually liked to eat little kumquats like this when he was young."

When Huo Kun heard this, his brows twitched, because what the old lady said seemed to mean that no one in the Huo family except the old lady knew that Huo Junhao also liked to eat kumquats like this.

Huo Kun thought of Yu Hanyan, Yu Hanyan should also know, what is the purpose of her leading him to do this?

The old lady looked at the peeled little kumquat in her hand, smiled and said: "I told him that the orange peel of the little kumquat is good for health, but he just didn't listen, saying that he hates the taste of the orange peel of the little kumquat."

As soon as the old lady said this, Huo Kailin, who was still laughing at Huo Kun for his ignorance just now, turned pale, and even he could understand what was going on, if he laughed at Huo Kun for his ignorance, he also laughed at the same time. Huo Junhao, who eats orange peel, has no experience... and in front of the old lady...

But fortunately, the old lady didn't intend to haggle with him, perhaps because it was her birthday today, she was in a particularly good mood, she ate the flesh she had just peeled, squinted her eyes, and grabbed a piece of fruit from the fruit plate. Put the small kumquats.

This action was a bit rude for the old lady who always attached great importance to rules, but she didn't care about it this time. She put the little kumquat in front of Huo Kun and said with a smile, "Come on, good boy, eat it, they don't want to eat it." Dare to laugh at you."

Huo Kun was stunned for a moment, he looked at the old lady, a little confused whether the old lady said this to Huo Junhao or him.

Huo Kun actually didn't like eating small kumquats that much, the two he ate just now were just a little curious because of Yu Hanyan's previous hint.Huo Kun pursed his lips and looked at the little kumquats in front of him, but still reached out and took one and slowly peeled it off.

And since the old lady finished saying 'they dare not laugh at you', the faces of everyone at this table became extremely ugly, and the worst thing was that Huo Kailin was about to drop cold sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't pay attention to this matter for a long time. She looked up at the stage when she watched Huo Kun start to peel the skin, and seemed to concentrate on watching the show.

Seeing that the old lady's attention seemed to be really attracted by the program on stage, the few people present slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Kun ate two small kumquats and didn't eat any more - peeling was too troublesome.

The atmosphere on the table seemed to be restored again, several other people were talking in low voices, and Huo Kun was watching the show on the stage like the old lady.In fact, Hawkun has no interest in these programs, but he has nothing else to do.

At this time, Huo Kaiming at the next table stood up with a cigarette case, and the old lady glanced, "What are you doing?"

Huo Kaiming was taken aback, and showed the old lady the cigarette case, "Smoking."

The old lady seemed annoyed, "I didn't know you were going to smoke? Sitting down, the smell of cigarettes bothers you the most."

Huo Kaiming sat back awkwardly.

This scene is that the elders don't let the younger generation smoke. This is a very common thing, but Huo Kun just felt a little weird and felt something was wrong.

This feeling of something wrong has been lingering in Huo Kun's heart, Huo Kun began to observe the old lady secretly.

The banquet hall was still very lively, the next table didn't know what they were talking about, Huo Kaiming patted the table and laughed, and there were a few sisters at the other table laughing and pouring Huo Kaiyue's wine, the show on the stage was also going on lively, watching There was a lively scene, but Huo Kun's back was stiff because of the tension. He always felt that there was something dangerous hidden under this lively scene.

Huo Kun had been quietly watching the old lady from the corner of his eye, and suddenly found that in a short period of time, the old lady had already looked at the clock hanging on the wall three times.

Huo Kun also secretly glanced at the watch on his hand, it is now 14:22.

Huo Kun felt that his lips were a bit dry, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the tea. During this period of time, the old lady checked the time again.

14: 23.

Huo Kun's hands holding the teacup were unconsciously held together, he was sure it wasn't his own illusion, the old lady was just checking the time.

When do people look at the time repeatedly?

When people are waiting, they can't help but look at the time repeatedly!

At this time, Huo Kun found that the old lady put one hand on the teacup in front of her, and her index finger rubbed the teacup repeatedly at a somewhat fast speed... like that...

That's obviously nervous!

Huo Kun was startled, an inexplicable and huge uneasiness welled up in his heart, and goose bumps appeared densely on his back.

What is the old lady nervous about!

What is she waiting for!

Huo Kun's eyes swept over the brothers and sisters present, and everyone, from Huo Kailin to Huo Kaiming, focused on Huo Kaixuan. They seemed to have no premonition of the crisis and were still joking.

At this moment, Huo Kun was so nervous that his heart beat faster, and his hands under the table were tightly clenched together, so that he didn't let himself lose his composure.

He subconsciously glanced at his watch at 14:25.

Huo Kun noticed that the speed of the old lady's finger rubbing the teacup became faster, and the number of times she looked at the time increased.

She is getting more and more nervous, why?Because the time for her to wait is coming?

So what time is she waiting for?

Hawkun quickly glanced at his watch while no one was paying attention.

14: 26.

Huo Kun suddenly realized that she was waiting for 14:30!

This is the most likely time!

What will happen at 14:30?

No one knows.

Huo Kun worked his brain rapidly, seeing the old lady's reaction, the old lady must be behind the scenes, then it's not Huo Kaixuan, so...

Huo Kaixuan became the next target!

14:30 Huo Kaixuan will die!Or something will happen at 14:30 to make Huo Kaixuan die!

Oh shit!

Huo Kun was thinking about it when he suddenly discovered something that made his hair stand on end. The old lady not only started to watch the time, but also started to watch him secretly!

!!!

Could it be that the old lady is targeting him?

Do not!wrong!

The old lady was not just looking at him, the old lady was looking at the orange peel in front of her and then at him.

Huo Kun tried his best to calm himself down and analyzed that the old lady had just shown a trace of tenderness and real emotion because of the orange peel, because the peeled orange peel was related to Huo Junhao who didn't like to eat orange peel, the old lady would not There is malice towards Huo Junhao, so he will not be malicious towards himself who is related to Huo Junhao's orange peel and also related to orange peel.

So the old lady's target should not be him.Why did the old lady look at him?

In the next minute, the old lady repeatedly checked the time, the orange peel, and Huo Kun.

Huo Kun's scalp tingled, she seemed to be making some kind of difficult decision.

At 14:27, the old lady suddenly said, "Hokun."

Huo Kun's heart skipped a beat, his voice was almost unsteady, he forced himself to steady himself, "What's the matter, old lady?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I didn't take the beads. Just now when your sister-in-law came back, I asked her to find someone to bring it to me. It's about time. Go to the door and have a look and bring it for me."

This seems normal, but it is actually a bit strange. For this kind of errands, you should find an assistant or a secretary. How did you find an heir?

Huo Kun gritted his teeth, thinking about the orange peel, thinking about Yu Hanyan's hint, a hundred thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he almost gritted his teeth before saying, "Okay."

The few people sitting there did not respond to the old lady's words. The old lady never left the bracelet, and it was strange to leave it. It turned out that it was left at home.

Huo Kun stood up and looked at the time, it was 14:28.

Huo Kun strode out. For some reason, there was a voice in his heart that seemed to be shouting, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

So Huo Kun's pace became faster and faster, and he almost had to run when he finally reached the entrance of the hall.

At the moment Huokun opened the door of the banquet hall.

"Boom!" Huo Kun felt that he was deaf immediately.

Time seemed to be slowed down, and he felt himself being rushed out by a huge force. Just before he passed out, Huo Kun seemed to see the chaotic footsteps of the crowd and a touch of red in the lobby and door of Huo's Hotel.

It was reported on the news that night.

"...On the afternoon of May 5, an explosion occurred at the Huoshi Hotel, killing 9 people, seriously injuring 17, and slightly injuring 2..."

Ever since Huo Kun left in the morning, Jiang Xuecheng became more and more restless.

At around twelve o'clock in the noon, Jiang Xuecheng actually had a phone call with Huo Kun. Huo Kun reported that he was safe and said that there was nothing suspicious for the time being.Huo Kun was a bit noisy, and it was inconvenient for him to walk away for too long. The two hung up the phone within a few minutes, but this phone call did not actually relieve Jiang Xuecheng's uneasiness.

Even Qi Xin, who was always out of his mind, noticed Jiang Xuecheng's uneasiness.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Xin knocked on the door of Jiang Xuecheng's office instead of the secretary, and brought in a cup of coffee. He put the coffee in front of Jiang Xuecheng, but saw that his boss didn't respond to him, and he seemed to be in a daze with his chin resting on his hands.

Qi Xin stretched out five fingers and waved in front of Jiang Xuecheng, but Jiang Xuecheng still didn't respond.

Qi Xin boldly shouted, "Boss!"

Jiang Xuecheng slowly came back to his senses, and looked at Qi Xin with eyes like dead fish eyes.

Qi Xin flinched, "Boss, what's wrong with you today? What's on your mind? Your work efficiency isn't very high today."

Jiang Xuecheng continued to look at Qi Xin expressionlessly, and Qi Xin was still muttering desperately: "Today, he was either in a daze or distracted. The executives who came in just now asked me if you were not feeling well, but I see the boss You are in good health, did you do too much hehehe at night, and you have no energy?"

Qi Xin laughed wretchedly a few times, and belatedly closed his mouth under the boss' death gaze.

His heart was trembling, and he staggered back while looking for love, "I'm not the boss, I just care about your work status..."

Jiang Xuecheng threw a document over, "I use you to teach me how to do things?"

Qi Xin took the document and ran out of the office with his head in his arms.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the closed door and took a sip of coffee irritably, but his tongue was burned by the temperature of the coffee. He put down the coffee in embarrassment and cursed secretly, feeling extremely bad.

Fortunately, he stood up and walked back and forth in front of the French windows of the office. The anxiety in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. He picked up the phone and checked the time. It was only 02:30. It is estimated that the birthday party of the old lady of the Huo family is not over yet. Jiang Xuecheng was thinking Do you want to call Huo Kun again to ask about the situation, and you are afraid that calling too much will make Huo Kun feel annoying.

Just as Jiang Xuecheng was thinking, he suddenly heard a 'bang' sound. He didn't know where it came from, but it seemed to come from all directions. With that sound, the whole building shook, especially the glass.

Jiang Xuecheng was startled when he heard the commotion outside, which was obviously not his illusion.

Could it be an earthquake?

How could there be an earthquake in this place in the capital?

Jiang Xuecheng was thinking about the vibration but it had stopped, as if it didn't exist. The vibration was obviously too short, not like an earthquake.

Jiang Xuecheng frowned, opened the door of the office, and strode out. In the secretary's room outside the office, Qi Xin, Qi Yu, and a group of secretaries also stood up with dazed faces, obviously they also felt what happened just now. shock.

Qi Xin patted his chest, "I was scared to death, I thought it was an earthquake."

The female secretaries also had lingering fears, but Qi Yu was always rational and calm. He frowned, "It wasn't an earthquake."

"what is that?"

"do not know."

Qi Yu looked at Jiang Xuecheng, "Is the boss okay?"

Jiang Xuecheng nodded, "It's okay, you go downstairs and have a look to maintain order."

Qi Yu nodded and left.

Qi Xin glanced at Qi Yu and didn't follow, but walked to Jiang Xuecheng's side, "Boss, what happened to you just now, isn't it really an earthquake?"

I don't know if it was because of the fright caused by the shock just now, but Jiang Xuecheng's heart has been maintained at an abnormal speed since the shock just now. It was as if something terrible had happened, and his uneasiness was so serious that it made Jiang Xuecheng restless.

Jiang Xuecheng ignored Qi Xin and went back to the office, and Qi Xin followed Jiang Xuecheng into the office.

Jiang Xuecheng walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, thinking about the shock just now, and suddenly a terrible idea crossed Jiang Xuecheng's mind. He suddenly remembered that Huo's Hotel is actually not far from Jiang's headquarters, which is where he is now. Recently, both he and Huo Kun had a premonition that something might happen to the old lady's birthday party today, and he was always restless. Could it be that the shock just now...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly turned pale. He picked up the phone, and while calling Huo Kun, he told Qi Xin, "Go, go and check, just now, what happened to the vibration just now?"

Qi Xin wanted to say something, but when he saw the embarrassment on the boss's face, he kept silent, feeling faintly in his heart that something happened, so he quickly opened the door and went out.

Here, Jiang Xuecheng's call to Huo Kun has been unable to get through. Jiang Xuecheng dialed over and over again, his heart fell to the bottom with the beeping sound of the cold machine, and his face became more and more ugly.

Jiang Xuecheng's hands were shaking when he dialed the fifth time. He comforted himself that it must be because the birthday party was too noisy or because Huo Kun had been drinking so he didn't hear the ringtone of the phone, but he himself knew, so Her self-consolation did not comfort him at all.

About 10 minutes later, a police siren came in from the open window. The moment Jiang Xuecheng heard the sound, his heart skipped a beat. The next moment, Qi Xin strode in, his footsteps flustered. The voice is also more serious than ever

"Boss! The source of the vibration has been found out, just now there was an explosion in Huo's Hotel."

There was a 'boom', like a thunderstorm, Jiang Xuecheng heard it, and felt his ears buzzing, his heart constricted violently, he was almost trembling, he fell down on the sofa with his hands on his chest, his face was as white as a ghost.

"boss!"

Seeing Jiang Xuecheng's out of composure, Qi Xin hurried forward, "Boss, what's wrong with you."

Jiang Xuecheng suppressed all the emotions in his heart, raised his head with a white face, and asked in a weak voice, "What did you just say?"

Seeing the boss in such a state, Qi Xin didn't want to provoke the boss anymore, but he had to say, "The Huo's Hotel exploded|exploded, and the ambulance, firefighters, and police cars all went."

"Hokun..."

Huo's conspiracy... Huo's hotel exploded|bombed... Huo Kun's phone is unavailable... If Huo Kun is fine, I'm afraid he will call him as soon as he is worried...

Jiang Xuecheng didn't want to think about it, but these thoughts came out uncontrollably, Jiang Xuecheng's heart seemed to be gouged out alive, he was trembling with pain, his eyes turned red almost instantly.

Jiang Xuecheng pushed away Qi Xin's support, he stood up and strode out.

Qi Xin quickly caught up, "Boss, where are you going?"

Jiang Xuecheng went directly to the underground garage. Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was in a bad state, Qi Xin didn't dare to let Jiang Xuecheng drive by himself. He sat in the co-pilot first against Jiang Xuecheng's death rays, and stepped on the accelerator all the way to Huo's Hotel.

Although Jiang's was not far from Huo's Hotel, there was some traffic jam on the road, and it took more than ten minutes to arrive at the scene.

Qi Xin didn't even stop the car, Jiang Xuecheng opened the door and jumped down, scaring Qi Xin to death.

Qi Xin didn't care whether the traffic police posted the ticket or not, so he found a nearby place to stop, and hurriedly chased Jiang Xuecheng over.

When Jiang Xuecheng arrived at the Huo's Hotel, the fire had already been extinguished, and the police sealed off the scene. Jiang Xuecheng watched from a distance as the medical staff carried out the bloody, missing parts, or charred corpses. He just stared blankly, forgot to ask, and forgot to move on, just stood there in a daze.

He never thought, nor did he dare to think, that Huo's explosion caused such a large number of casualties.

At this time, Qi Xin parked the car and came over. Seeing the boss standing there blankly, he was shocked, and quickly stepped forward and pulled the boss to a safe place, "Boss, boss, what's wrong with you."

Jiang Xuecheng came back to his senses in a daze, knowing that he should ask others if they saw Huo Kun, but he didn't dare to ask.

He's... scared.

Qi Xin managed to be clever for a while, and sneaked into the crowd, Jiang Xuecheng saw Qi Xin walking back after a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuecheng took a step back almost subconsciously, he was afraid and heard the news.

It was rare for Qi Xin to be sensible, and he smiled before approaching. When Jiang Xuecheng saw him, his defenses dissipated a little. Could it be that Qi Xin would bring back good news.

Qi Xin approached and smiled like a fool, "Boss, it's okay, it's okay, Huo Kun's life is at stake, the injury is not serious, and he is not missing an arm or a leg, I just asked a staff member at the front desk of Huo's Hotel, he Said that he saw the explosion | Huo Kun just came out of the box when the explosion occurred, and escaped unharmed."

At that moment, Jiang Xuecheng finally let go of his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he felt that his whole body had come alive, and the sensations all over his body seemed to be recovering slowly. It was too tense, but now when I relax, my whole body seems to lose strength, and my legs are actually a little soft.

Qi Xin stepped forward to support Jiang Xuecheng, "Boss."

Jiang Xuecheng waved his hand, "I'm fine, let's go to Huo Kun's hospital."

Qi Xin helped Jiang Xuecheng into the car, and drove to the hospital he had just inquired about.

It wasn't until Jiang Xuecheng arrived at the hospital that he realized that Huo Kun had actually entered the emergency room. Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng's heart tensed up. Fortunately, Huo Kun's confidant who was guarding the hospital told Jiang Xuecheng about Huo Kun's situation.

"I was thrown out by the force of the explosion, and my head was injured by the door panel, but because of the cover of the door panel, my body was not injured by other things. There may be a slight concussion and contusion, but it shouldn't be. Seriously injured."

Only then did Jiang Xuecheng feel relieved, and waited outside the emergency room.

During this period, Jiang Xuecheng also learned about the casualties caused by the explosion.

"17 people died and two were seriously injured. Huo is always the luckiest person. He was only slightly injured when the explosion occurred because he had already walked to the door. The 17 people who died, including the old lady, were all other young masters and young ladies of the Huo family. , the two seriously injured were the uncle and daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and none of the children of the Huo family survived except Mr. Huo!"

"Just after the explosion, someone found Huo Zhenlin Huo Dong who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in another room of Huo's Hotel. Because he found it too late, he is now in a vegetable state..."
