Chapter 125 Saint Paul

Two days later, Saint Paul, Huo Dongsheng's villa.

Huo Dongsheng was lying on the bed in the bedroom, his face a little sallow. A health doctor in a white coat was facing the sunlight outside the window, looking at the thermometer just taken from Huo Dongsheng's armpit. His wife sat beside him, tucking in the quilt covering the old Huo.

The health doctor put down the thermometer and said to Huo Dongsheng gently, "The fever has subsided. You just need to recuperate for two more days. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Remember to take it on time."

"Finally, the fever is gone…" Madam Huo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

The doctor took out a pen and a notepad from his pocket, wrote down the prescription and dosage on it, and handed it to Madam Huo.

"Then I'll go first. Contact me promptly if anything comes up."

"Okay." Madam Huo thanked the doctor, got up and saw him out of the room.

After seeing him off, she returned to Huo Dongsheng's bedside, looked at her husband lying there, and couldn't help but complain, "You're so old, why are you still making such a fuss?"

Huo Dongsheng didn't say anything. He closed his eyes, and the scene of the gun battle would still flash back into his mind from time to time.

Although this assassination attempt was unsuccessful, it shocked Huo Dongsheng. After returning from the hotel, he fell ill and had a fever for two consecutive days. Moreover, what made him most uncomfortable was that this matter had become a bit of a big deal, and the senior management of the association already knew about the gun battle in the hotel.

Because Dong Ke and Liu Tao, as well as three injured security guards, were all directly hijacked by that group of bloodthirsty South American gangs and taken back for a beating. Later, Wang Xiao came forward and found someone familiar to redeem the two from the gang members. The two were almost unrecognizable when they came back. Half of Lao Dong's teeth were pulled out, and Lao Liu's two balls were electrocuted…

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, followed by Huang Peishan's voice, "President."

Huo Dongsheng gently opened his eyes and glanced at his wife. Madam Huo stood up, walked to the door, and let Huang Peishan in.

"Madam Huo." Huang Peishan hurriedly greeted her.

"Okay, I'm going to water the flowers. You guys chat." Madam Huo nodded to Huang Peishan, then walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"President, are you feeling better?" Huang Peishan slowed down his steps, walked to Huo Dongsheng's side, and asked with concern.

"…Yeah." Huo Dongsheng squeezed out a sound from his nose, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "How was it handled?"

"It's almost done." Huang Peishan said, "I have already explained everything to the police. They will handle it as an ordinary shooting case and will not disclose Zhao Yan's information. I have also had Zhao Yan's body disposed of to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Does anyone else know?" Huo Dongsheng asked again.

"Don't worry about that!" Huang Peishan whispered, "I handled everything myself. No one knows except me."

"That's good." Huo Dongsheng sighed, his face pale as he said, "This time was really too close… If it weren't for those Mexicans, I'm afraid the one who became a corpse wouldn't have been Zhao Yan, but you and me!"

"It was really close…" Huang Peishan nodded repeatedly, "They were very good at scouting. In recent months, only that night did we have the fewest security personnel around us."

"We can't be so lucky every time…" Huo Dongsheng stretched out his right hand, and Huang Peishan hurriedly helped the president up from the bed.

After Huo Dongsheng sat up, he gently moved his body and then asked Huang Peishan, "What about the gunmen, have you found anything?"

"Speaking of this, it's a bit strange." Huang Peishan frowned slightly, "The surveillance video captured the face of a gunman… My people investigated for two days, and he turned out to be a dog of the Qingyi Bureau…" (a secret intelligence agency)

"Oh?" Huo Dongsheng stopped moving his arms, frowned and said, "Is the internal strife there that serious?"

He was silent for a while, then instructed Huang Peishan, "How about this, you give this person's information to them and let them investigate. You also continue to follow up and lock down the identity of these people as soon as possible. We can't completely believe that the other side is from the Qingyi Bureau. Now that winds are rising from all directions, anything can happen."

"Yes!" Huang Peishan nodded.

"Go and do it." Huo Dongsheng waved his hand, and Huang Peishan left the bedroom.

…

Twenty minutes later, Huo Dongsheng changed into a comfortable set of home clothes, slowly walked out of the villa, and stood in the yard, moving his body.

Lying down for too long, his old arms and legs were a little stiff.

Madam Huo was standing in the yard, watering the flowers with a sprinkler. She glanced at Huo Dongsheng and asked casually, "Old Huo, have you been a little too high-profile lately, blocking someone's path? Otherwise, why would someone want to kill you for no reason?"

"You don't understand anything." Huo Dongsheng said slowly while moving his body, "As long as I sit in this position, no matter whether I show my edge or not, I will be blocking some people's path."

"Stubborn as a mule!" Madam Huo sighed. She couldn't persuade her husband, so she could only continue to take care of her flowers and plants.

After a while, footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.

"President, are you home?" Wang Xiao's voice could be heard from afar. Soon, he and Wang An appeared outside the courtyard gate with some nutritional supplements.

"It's you guys." Huo Dongsheng frowned slightly, then quickly put on a smiling face, "Hehe, come in quickly."

"Madam Huo." Wang Xiao and the others greeted Madam Huo, who opened the door, and then entered the door with gifts.

"We are all family, why are you being so polite." Madam Huo took the gifts from the two of them and said politely.

Wang Xiao also smiled politely, "It's what we should do."

"President, it looks like you are better." Wang An turned to look at Huo Dongsheng.

"Much better." Huo Dongsheng greeted, "Don't just stand here, let's go to the study and chat."

"Okay."

The three entered the villa, came to the study on the first floor, and sat on the sofas. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Xiao suddenly said, "We were so worried these past two days. I received hundreds of calls of concern alone."

"Yes, President, this was too dangerous!" Wang An was more straightforward and asked directly, "What's going on? Who were you meeting?"

"An old friend of mine." Huo Dongsheng said lightly, "I just wanted to meet in private and talk about the development of the Huaxing Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect to be targeted."

"Then you shouldn't have asked Lao Huang to arrange the process." Wang An's tone was a little anxious, "Lao Huang is in charge of intelligence, he has little experience in security. If it were our action team, this kind of thing would never have happened."

Hearing this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but kick Wang An lightly under the table, meaning that he was speaking too rashly. But Huo Dongsheng didn't say anything. He had already heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Wang An's words.

Wang An was indeed unhappy. Recently, Huo Dongsheng had been keeping many things from people of their faction. He didn't know who he was meeting in private this time anyway. In any case, all those he brought were leaders of the administrative faction headed by Huang Peishan.

This kind of behavior was faintly unsettling.

…

At the same time, Dragon City.

Su Tianyu sat on the sofa and asked Gu Baisun, "Has the hidden identity of Zhao Yan, who met with Huo Dongsheng, been confirmed?"

Gu Baisun nodded slowly.
