Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Chapter 367: Cutting off the Ranma with a Quick Sword

Back on the 28th floor, Xu Zhihui stepped out of the elevator and saw many people standing in front of the office door. She was not surprised at all and walked over and said, "Aren't you going to get off work yet? It's half past six." At a glance, except for He Zhijing, everyone on the 28th floor was there, except Li Songling.

Zhao Fang was the first to speak, saying, "Madam, we have all received the message. What's going on?" Xu Zhihui said calmly, "I'm glad you received it." Turning to everyone, she said, "You're here just in time. Let me tell you something. I said at the meeting this afternoon that some people want to harm this family. I will never show mercy to these people. I will definitely kick them out, no matter who they are or how much they have contributed. The message you received briefly explains it."

Everyone suddenly realized that what the young lady said at the meeting was not just a casual remark, but an ultimatum. They did not expect her to cut the Gordian knot before leaving get off work, and deal with it so swiftly and decisively. Everyone was full of respect and supported the young lady unanimously.

A man walked out of the crowd. It was Li Songling's assistant He Jin. He said in a panic, "Madam, I am only loyal to the company. I have an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship with Li...Li Songling." Xu Zhihui glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't be nervous. I will just suspend my duties temporarily. When the matter is clarified, I will give you justice and compensation. Report to the Employee General Department next Monday."

He Jin regained his spirits and nodded, "I understand, Madam, don't worry, I can definitely withstand the investigation. Then I... I'll leave first." Xu Zhihui watched him leave and said, "Assistant He took the initiative to confess, which is a good thing." Turning to Zhao Fang, she said, "Boss Zhao, you have to bear more during this period. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Fang smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay. I just want to confirm with you and let you know what's going on. I will definitely stand on your side." Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "Thank you." After that, she chatted with the girls from the general transportation office, Hu Yan, Cheng Yue and others, comforted them, and let everyone go home after get off work.

Xu Zhihui went back to the office and sat for a while, then got up to pack up and water the flowers. After about ten minutes, He Zhijing came back. He leaned against the door and smiled, "You are so elegant, my young lady." Xu Zhihui raised her eyes and said, "Of course."

He Zhijing said, "Let's go, honey, it's time to go home after get off work." Xu Zhihui said, "Okay." She turned off the computer, took her bag, turned off the lights, and closed the door. He Zhijing hugged her and said as they walked, "You've worked hard today." Xu Zhihui said calmly, "Nothing, just a few words on stage." He Zhijing looked at her and said, "It's more than that." Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "You've worked hard too, you've been busy outside all day."

Taking the elevator down to the parking lot on the ground floor, the two chatted about daily matters, mostly about the things between Liu Yuzhou, Xu Qianrou and Bu Xiaoshuai. It was not until they got in the car that Xu Zhihui asked, "He Xiaoer, don't you blame me for acting on my own?" He Zhijing was surprised and said, "How could that be? I believe in you and support you unconditionally no matter what you do. There is nothing I can blame you for, and I would never blame you even if I blame myself."

Xu Zhihui smiled and said softly, "Thank you, let's go home." He Zhijing started the Maybach and drove away. Xu Zhihui looked at the cars coming and going outside the window and added, "I will quickly find out what happened in the past." He Zhijing didn't know what she was referring to, so he didn't think about it and replied, "I believe you."

When the car drove to Fuliwan Road, a shining headlight from behind shone over, illuminating the front. The entire Fuliwan Road was visible to the end, and He Zhijing's car cast a long shadow. Xu Zhihui's eyes tightened, and she saw a car speeding in the rearview mirror, with the headlights on, and the speed was at least 190 miles per hour. He Zhijing cursed, "What a lunatic." Pull over to let the other party pass.

The car whizzed past, and Xu Zhihui looked out the window, her brows furrowed. Although the other party had turned on the headlights and was driving fast, Xu Zhihui had good eyesight and could see clearly that the person sitting in the car was none other than Li Songling. When passing by, Li Songling also looked at He Zhijing's car, and then rushed forward and left in a cloud of dust.

Xu Zhihui snorted coldly, thinking: "The road ahead is the Fuliwan District. Why is Li Songling going there? And why is he running in such a hurry?" He Zhijing asked: "What's the matter?" Xu Zhihui said: "The madman in that car is Li Songling." He Zhijing frowned and said: "What is he doing here?" Xu Zhihui said: "Don't worry about him."

Xu Zhihui said she didn't care, but she was still keeping an eye on it. When the car turned into Limingshan Road, drove into the small road, and was about to reach the He family mansion, Xu Zhihui suddenly said, "Stop for a moment." He Zhijing stopped on the road as he said. Xu Zhihui opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "Honey, wait in the car for a while, I'll go down and take a look."

Xu Zhihui stood by the road and looked at the bushes on both sides. She saw someone hiding inside. She stood there for less than three seconds and saw three or four figures flashing in the bushes. She clapped her hands twice, and when the clapping stopped, two figures jumped out and flashed in front of her.

The two men had strange appearances, one with a big head and the other with a thin body. Their clothes were also strange, one with the word "thunder" on his clothes and the other with the word "ice". They both carried weapons. Xu Zhihui recognized them as the twelve imperial guards of Jiangshan Meili, whom she had seen the last time she went to Jiangshan Meili City.

The two guards bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Miss Xu. What can I do for you?" Xu Zhihui asked, "Are you the Royal Guards? Why are you here too?" The two guards replied, "Yes, we are the Thunderbolt Guards and the Ice Guards. Captain Shangguan said that the previous Shadow Guards were not capable enough, so Queen Yan replaced us. There are four Royal Guards in total."

Xu Zhihui was delighted when he heard this, thinking, "Ayan is thoughtful. These imperial guards are extraordinary people with special powers, much more powerful than the shadow guards, so they can easily deal with monsters and evil spirits." He looked at the two and asked, "So, one of you uses lightning powers and the other uses ice powers?" The two guards replied, "Yes."

Xu Zhihui pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she said: "Ice Master, your ice power is not strong enough. It happens that I also have ice power, I will pass some to you." Ice Master was surprised for a moment and did not understand what she meant.

Xu Zhihui stretched out her palm, and a small ice crystal condensed in her palm, only the size of a thumb, but extremely cold. In an instant, the temperature within a radius of 500 meters dropped sharply, and the wind stopped and the trees froze. The two guards turned into two ice sculptures.

She injected the tiny ice crystal into the Ice Warrior's body and watched as the Ice Warrior absorbed the ice crystal into his body, turning it into a new ice energy source. When the cold air was completely absorbed, the two men thawed and returned to normal. Her "Absolute Ice" was endless, and she passed a little of it to the Ice Warrior to help him increase his strength, just right.

The Ice Warrior was greatly surprised that his Ice Power was a thousand times stronger than before. He was surprised and delighted. Xu Zhihui took a look and said, "I passed on a little to you. You have a good physique and have absorbed it very well. You are qualified for the guarding work here. Take good care of the He family mansion." He waved to the two guards and said, "Go." The two guards took the order and left, hiding in the jungle again.

Xu Zhihui got back into the car and returned to the He family mansion. He Zhijing honked the horn twice and flashed the lights twice. The old housekeeper Kang Bo, Old Wu, and Mrs. Wu shouted at the door: "The second young master and the second young mistress are back." Sun Xiaofei showed a happy expression and ordered: "Prepare for dinner."

The two walked into the house hand in hand. Sun Xiaofei greeted them and said, "You must have been very busy today. You came back more than an hour later than usual." He Zhijing brushed off his tired face and smiled, "Nothing, mother." Sun Xiaofei took the bag from Xu Zhihui and said as they walked, "Manting sent me the video of your speech on the stage. Ah Hui, you are really great."

Xu Zhihui was shocked and stopped in her tracks. She said, "Mom Fei, I'm sorry. I let it slip." Sun Xiaofei asked in surprise, "Why are you saying sorry?" She was stunned for two seconds before she reacted and said, "Are you talking about sharks? Mom Fei is not that fragile. You said it well. Anyone who wants to sink the ship should be kicked down to feed the sharks." The two laughed.

Xu Zhihui sat at the table, saw a sumptuous dinner, and started eating happily. The family ate as usual, not affected by what happened today.

Xu Zhihui asked, "Mother Fei, what flowers did you plant today?" Sun Xiaofei said with great interest, "Roses, Phalaenopsis, and Dianthus. These past two days, I have been busy in the garden with Mrs. Wu and Old Wu. By the time of the New Year, these flowers will bloom. I plan to plant some peach blossoms to add to the New Year atmosphere. What do you think?" Xu Zhihui said happily, "Great! The garden will definitely be very beautiful by then."

After taking a shower, Xu Zhihui planned to talk to Sun Xiaofei about what happened today. But Sun Xiaofei pulled her to the study to read books together, saying: "There are so many books in the study, when can I finish reading them? I didn't read much before." Xu Zhihui said: "I will accompany you to read books when I have free time." Sun Xiaofei smiled: "That's not necessary, you have your own things to do."

It was another moonlit night with sparse stars. Xu Zhihui opened the curtains to let the moonlight in, then lay on a rocking chair, reading a copy of "Gone with the Wind".
