Chapter 889: Chapter 889: A Brother Eager to Be a Third Wheel? The thought flickered through his mind, then was quickly denied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there truly were any fish that slipped through the net, he could not have failed to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yaozong turned to glance at the firmly shut door, his eyes narrowed slightly before he pushed the door open and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his father emerge with a gloomy and indiscrutable expression, Huo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, how is auntie doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just her old ailments,” Huo Yaozong replied dismissively. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly instructed, “Keep an eye on your auntie during this period.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Feng was puzzled, “You’re not asking me to surveil her, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely baffled; this seemed like looking for trouble. Logically speaking, it should be Huo Lin who was under surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yaozong didn’t explain further, but spoke with a serious tone, “Just do as I say. Report everything about whom she approaches to me in great detail, understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I get it.” Although Huo Feng didn’t understand the reason, he still agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then brought up, “About my brother’s matter, what did big brother say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yaozong exhaled through his nose and scoffed, “Expecting help from him is like hoping your brother would plead guilty and seek a reduced sentence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Feng clicked his tongue, “So we’re really not going to intervene?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s nothing we can do,” Huo Yaozong shook his head, looking weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter involving Huo Chi appeared neither serious nor trivial; after all, the kidnapping wasn’t successful, but the forces involved in the incident were too complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had found that it wasn’t only Li Hanzhou obstructing their efforts, but also some unknown force at play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t identify this force, it could only mean they were as powerful as the Huo or Li families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yaozong couldn’t fathom why an ordinary girl would entangle them in such complex relations; it was truly incomprehensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plain Qiao Yun was sharing a cake with Li Hanzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun ate unhurriedly and elegantly, looking graceful, while Li Hanzhou hardly moved, with most of the cake ending up in Qiao Yun’s stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes half-closed, Li Hanzhou watched intently as Qiao Yun’s little tongue peeked out to lick the cream from the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his gaze grew even darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun felt uneasy under the man’s stare and looked at him quizzically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou had an impish idea, “Let me feed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he picked up a fork, speared a small piece of cake, and held it in front of Qiao Yun with interest, “Be good, open up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun: “…” Is it still possible to reshape him from scratch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun frowned, puzzled by his sudden behavior and about to decline, when the doorbell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up abruptly, “I’ll get the door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight click of his tongue, Li Hanzhou somewhat regretfully finished the piece of cake and then also got up, walking leisurely to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open to reveal the two people standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou’s eyelid twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With open arms and excitement, Shen Qi declared, “Surprise or not, here I am again, Brother Li!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fang, thinking Shen Qi was embarrassing himself, silently stepped back a few paces and nodded to Qiao Yun, “Professor Qiao, sorry to disturb you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou spoke with disdain, “What brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, to attend Tianqi’s product launch event,” Shen Qi, giving a thumbs-up to Li Hanzhou, said, “Brother Li, you’re really something, we really did meet again soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tianqi’s assessment ended, Shen Qi was reluctant to part with Professor Qiao, thinking it would be a long while before they saw each other again. A few days later, the Shen family received an invitation from Tianqi to a new product launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu family naturally received an invitation too; this time not only Xu Fang, but Xu Long also came, ostensibly to support Professor Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi explained, “Tianqi’s launch of a new product is a big deal, and many people are attending. But these people aren’t as lucky as I am to see Professor Qiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianqi had developed many products, but most were just Qiao Yun’s tinkering projects, with very few actually hitting the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any one of them was enough to make Tianqi a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time Tianqi launched a new product, it was the previous smart home manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what the new product being launched was, but it was certainly extraordinary, so everyone who received an invitation came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun blinked, she had left the organization of the launch event to Pei Ya and had not expected him to make it such a grand affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Pei Ya really put his heart into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was something he valued highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou smiled slightly, “Now that I’ve seen the people, you can go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to close the door as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute…” Shen Qi promptly blocked the door and said with a ingratiating smile, “Considering we’ve traveled so far, Zhou Tu is exhausted, and we haven’t even had a sip of water, you could at least let us have a drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou reminded him, “This isn’t ancient times, you flew here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi: “…” The struggle is real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou indicated, no need to see them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody was going to disrupt his time with Qiaoqiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun disapprovingly glared at Li Hanzhou and told them, “Come in and sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.” Shen Qi was shameless, ignoring Li Hanzhou’s ambiguous smile and wagging his tail as he went inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was useless to look for Brother Li, he needed to find Professor Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Shen Qi sat down, he said with a sad face, “Professor Qiao, we came in such a hurry that we didn’t even book a hotel, and your place looks quite spacious, so I guess you have some extra rooms, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fang couldn’t bear to look at Shen Qi, his skin wasn’t as thick, but honestly, he also thought staying here wouldn’t be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, “Your dream might come true faster in your sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, are we still brothers or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou: “Heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who has a brother who’s eager to third-wheel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Qiao Yun suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, Qiao Yun wouldn’t agree; she didn’t want to be disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these two were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friends of Li Hanzhou were her friends too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Qiao, always keen to make new friends, said, “You can stay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll impose on you.” Shen Qi gave an embarrassed smile and even winked at Xu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you, Professor Qiao is easy to talk to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fang: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Li Hanzhou’s gaze was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun said softly to Li Hanzhou, “Is it okay if they stay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tickled by her seemingly coquettish tone, Li Hanzhou readily agreed, “They can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they won’t be here for many days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi clicked his tongue internally; if Li Ye were an ancient ruler, he’d definitely be a negligent sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the lodging issue was resolved, Shen Qi’s eyes darted around, and he inquired stealthily, “Professor Qiao, what exactly is Tianqi launching this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Xu Fang was also very interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather had already been boasting everywhere before they even knew what Tianqi had developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun said concisely, “Something the Huo Family has been developing all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi was momentarily stunned, then shocked, he opened his mouth wide, “AI system?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun nodded, “Mhm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fang also didn’t expect it to be that, “Didn’t you say it wouldn’t go to market?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered when they first found out Professor Qiao had already developed the AI driving system, they asked her why she didn’t bring it to market.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-09T06:21:50.763Z",1,"novelbin.me","1cb6ab699cb2e2b755f9bdc5dafa411762908c632d991be4f5694f03437daf9e","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-890","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-888",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
