In the afternoon, in the front yard of the Nanjia villa, the evergreen trees were soaked by the drizzle and became green and simple. The cobblestone path in the courtyard of the www.biquge.info Pavilion has been baptized by the rain and become clear and clean. Each stone is round and delicate, and it is clear that it has been carefully selected by the residents. The lawn next to the path is small, but it is well manicured and not dull due to the cold climate.

Wan Guohou glanced at his watch, "K1, you can find a place to stay first, we may have to come out later, and I will call you later." ”

"Okay. K1 replied.

After getting out of the car, Wan Guohou and Xie Manxin each held an umbrella and walked to the quiet and elegant courtyard gate of the Nan family.

"You knock on the door. Wan Guohou commanded. Xie Madxin nodded, reached out and pressed the call bell on the door control.

"Who?" spoke in a female voice that was not young, but it was not Tao Baihe.

"Hello, Mom Tong, I'm Xiao Xie. Xie said hello with a familiar heart.

"Oh, it's Mr. Xiao Xie, you wait a minute. Tong's mother put down the phone, probably to report.

Two minutes later, Tong's mother came out with an umbrella to greet Xie Madxin.

"Mother Tong, is Jiaojiao taking a nap?" Xie asked affectionately.

"Get up, when she heard you were coming, she hurried up. Tong's mother said with a smile. Then, she looked at Wan Guohou, "This gentleman is ......"

"This is my uncle. Xie Madxin hurriedly introduced, "Director Nan, they all know each other." ”

“Oh，please-come-in。 When Mama Tong saw that Wan Guohou was a foreigner, she spoke English. Her English accent was very strong, and Wan Guohou held back a smile, "Hello, I can speak Chinese." ”

"Ouch!" Tong's mother smiled embarrassedly, "That's pretty good." ”

After the three of them entered the house, Wan Guohou saw Nan Zeyu who was sitting on the sofa at a glance, and the latter said in surprise: "Master Hou, why are you here?" As he spoke, he subconsciously stood up, "I thought it was Xiao Xie who came here alone today." ”

"Originally, he came alone, but I happened to be on the way, so I came uninvited, did I disturb you?" Wan Guohou asked politely.

"Nope. Nan Zeyu hurriedly asked the two to sit down, and then arranged for Tong's mother to pour tea.

"We haven't seen each other in a month since the last school anniversary...... I am so grateful for your help that evening. Nan Zeyu said sincerely, "Although I didn't catch the criminal, fortunately, nothing happened to Jiaojiao." By the way, how's the Moon manager?"

"It's much better now. Wan Guohou replied, "She also wanted to come and see Jiaojiao today, but I'm afraid that there are too many people with her, which will make you feel inconvenient." ”

"No, no!" Nan Zeyu said with a smile, "Jiaojiao likes the Moon Manager very much, and said several times that I should invite the Moon Manager to come to the house to play." ”

"I'm afraid it will be even more inconvenient in the future. Wan Guohou said meaningfully, "After Jiaojiao and Crazy Heart become artists, their every move will be the focus of the public." ”

"Is it that exaggerated?" Nan Zeyu said disapprovingly, "They haven't officially performed yet, right?" ”

"I watched the plan that Pixiu had given them, which was to have a live showcase, then a mini-album, and then a TV show, and the whole process was very fast. Wan Guohou glanced at Xie Madxin, "I don't know if their bodies can withstand it." ”

"I don't have a problem, I just don't know if Jiaojiao can do it. Xie said naughtily.

"Brother Crazy Heart!" Nan Zejiao rushed down the stairs at a trot, "What do you say bad things about me?"

"Heaven and earth conscience, how can I say bad things about you!" Xie Madheart clutched his chest exaggeratedly.

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "Little beauty." Then he changed his tune and said, "Oh, no, I should call you Destiny." ”

Nan Zeyu beckoned and motioned for her daughter to come over, "Who gave you the name of your combination?"

"Brother Crazy Heart, his name is hope, and we are D-H. Destiny and hope. Nan Zejiao said innocently, "I think it's very good, and Mr. Pi also said it's very good." ”

"It's very good, but it feels a little religious. Nan Zeyu touched her daughter's ponytail, "Is Mom up?"

"Well, I'm getting dressed. Nan Zejiao made a grimace, and then looked at Xie Madheart, "Brother Madheart, you're going to make your debut tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"I have nothing to be nervous about. Xie Madness said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid that you will be so nervous that you will cry." ”

"No, it won't. Nan Zejiao stuck out her tongue.

At this time, Tong's mother served hot tea.

"Ah, is the Hou Ye here?" Tao couldn't appear on the stairs.

"Grandpa, I'll help you. Nan Zejiao hurriedly ran over.

"Mr. Tao, good afternoon. Knowing that the other party couldn't see clearly, Wan Guohou still owed a debt, "Did you disturb your rest?"

"No, I don't. Tao couldn't hold a cane in one hand and Nan Zejiao in the other, and slowly walked down the stairs, "Master Hou sent Xiao Xie here, right?"

Wan Guohou smiled, "Well, tomorrow they will make their debut, and I will do it again today." ”

"I thought that the speeches in the entertainment industry were all improvised, but I didn't expect to prepare a script. Nan Zeyu said with emotion.

Xie Crazy Xin hurriedly explained: "Mr. Pi said that it is best for newcomers to prepare in advance, otherwise they will be prone to stage fright when speaking. ”

Nan Zeyu nodded, "Xiao Xie, you go upstairs with Jiaojiao to practice." ”

Xie Madxin looked at Wan Guohou and saw the latter bowing his head, so he followed Nan Zejiao out of the living room.

"Dad, sit here. Nan Zeyu helped Tao and couldn't sit down. Wan Guohou watched these two men perform "Weng Son-in-law's Love" with cold eyes, and only felt a burst of disgust.

"Mr. Tao, your eyes are so inconvenient, but you can still run a large amber shop, to be honest, I admire it. Wan Guohou suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said with a smile.

"Actually, I used to have good eyesight. Tao couldn't say, "It's only getting worse in the past few years." ”

"Have you checked it out?"

"Of course I did. The person who answered was Nan Zeyu, "The doctor said it was caused by high blood pressure. ”

"Can't it be improved by surgery or something?" Wan Guohou pretended to be concerned.

"Yes, surgery is possible, but the condition of my eye is complicated, and the doctor's recommendation is to take medicine to control blood pressure, and surgery is not recommended. Tao couldn't hear Wan Guohou's inquiry, and was a little moved.

"But your daily life is still inconvenient. Wan Guohou said, "I can't imagine the world that I can't see." ”

"I'm used to it, it's been two or three years. Tao couldn't answer.

"It occurred to me that I had a friend who was an ophthalmologist. Have you heard of YeuroEyes, that's what he did? Wan Guohou said lightly, "Perhaps, I can consult him." ”

"What's so embarrassing then?" Tao said in a hurry, "It's too much trouble for you." ”

"It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about. Wan Guohou said with a smile. He picked up the teacup and put it down again, "By the way, Director Nan, I saw someone on the Internet say that the kidnapper on the day of Qianfeng Academy's school anniversary had also appeared near an antique city before. ”

Nan Zeyu secretly complained in his heart, "You can't trust all the news on the Internet." Seeing the look on Wan Guohou's face, he immediately realized that this sentence was not appropriate, so he added, "However, we will continue to investigate." During this time, the weather was cold and my dad was not feeling well, so the amber shop was temporarily closed. ”

"It's okay to avoid it. Wan Guohou said lightly, "Moreover, I suggest that Director Nan strengthen his vigilance." Jiaojiao is about to enter the entertainment industry, and public figures are more likely to be targeted by kidnappers. ”

"I know what to do. Nan Zeyu's face was a little gloomy.

At the same time, at an intersection dozens of kilometers away from Nanjia's villa, a man holding a black umbrella quickly crossed the road and walked into a narrow alley.

The man was dressed in a black casual suit, a black hat, black sunglasses, and a gray mask. After walking down the alley for a few minutes, he turned into a dilapidated yard. Then he walked through the courtyard and came to a low residential building.

The man didn't rush in, but looked around. After making sure that no one was following him, he walked to the door of the building and pressed "301#".

He waited patiently for a while, and a hoarse voice came from the speaker on the door, "What's the light now?" the man spoke in the Modu dialect.

"Ten points is missing fifteen points. The man replied in the Demon Capital dialect. At the same time, he glanced at his watch, two o'clock.

"Oh, it's good to get up. A hoarse voice said.

"My old Sadu, I was trapped last night. The man replied patiently.

With a "click", the other party lifted the curfew. The man in black put away his umbrella, dodged in, and carefully closed the door.

It's a very old house, the stairs are wet, and I don't know if someone has spilled water, or if it's a resurgence, or if there are a lot of people walking back and forth. The walls of the corridor are plastered with small advertisements for various certificates, sewers, and old Chinese medicine curing all diseases, and the man in black frowned. At the corner of the stairs, there were many waste cartons and packaging boxes stacked, and the man in black was accidentally knocked on the leg by something, and when he looked closely, it was actually a dirty stroller. He rubbed his calf and walked up helplessly.

The man in black stopped on the third floor. He didn't rush to knock on the door, but listened intently for a while, and after making sure there was nothing abnormal, he knocked on the iron door of 301.

After a "click-la" sound, the door opened, and a man with big cheeks poked his head out, "Are you alone?" he spoke in standard Japanese, but his voice was hoarse, as if he had smoked too much.

"There is no tail. The man in black also replied in Japanese.

The smoke led him into the room, and quickly locked the door.

"Kirihara didn't come?" the man in black looked around the room, obviously disappointed.

"He'll be there in two days. Smoke explained, "You're Kato, right?"

"Yes. The man in black nodded, but still didn't take off his sunglasses and mask.

Smoke didn't seem to care about Kato's coldness, he took out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to Kato.

Kato held his phone close to his ear and heard a familiar voice.

"Kato. ”

"President. He immediately straightened up, as if the other could see him through the earpiece.

"It's been almost a year, you've worked hard. On the phone, Kujou Harumi's speech speed was not fast.

"It's not hard!" Kato was a little nervous.

"Report on, your results. ”

“…… The subordinates were ashamed and did nothing. Kato wiped the sweat from his head, "He has too many people, and his subordinates are not good at acting." ”

"Didn't you do anything?" said Kujou's voice.

"Last month, Pennington showed up, and his subordinates used a little trick to drive him away. Kato hurriedly said, "The subordinates are sure that the British do not know Pennington's secret. ”

"Hmph. Kujou Harumi said coldly, "But you also exposed yourself. ”

"Probably not. Kato's whole body tensed, and he used his peripheral vision to aim at the gun in the waist of the cigarette voice standing nearby, which made him even more nervous. "The British checked around and did not suspect their subordinates. ”

"Have you found a scapegoat?"

"Yes, President. ”

"Hmm. Kujou Harumomi's voice couldn't hear joy or anger, "You don't care about Pennington's affairs, I'll let someone else deal with him." ”

"Yes. ”

"The identity of the British, is it confirmed?"

"It must be from the Hanoverians, who has seven colors of amber and is willing to put his strength into us. But his subordinates have not yet found out which member of the Hanover family he is. It's a pity that his subordinates didn't hear all of his conversations with Pennington. Kato switched ears to listen to his phone. There was no heating and air conditioning in the small room, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Fortunately, Kujou Harunomi did not pursue it, "You continue to lurk, you must find the Amber Palace." ”

"Obey!" Kato hesitated for a moment and asked, "President, are there any of our people in the crown besides our subordinates?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Kujou Harumi seemed to smile, "If necessary, I will have someone contact you again, pay attention to safety." ”

"The subordinates understand. Kato said respectfully. When the other party ended the call, he returned the phone to the smoker.

"What do you call it?" Kato said, looking at his expressionless voice.

"You don't need to know, Kirihara will be coming to replace me in two days. Smoke pulled out a pack of cigarettes, held it up, and gestured to Kato.

Kato noticed that it was a pack of メビウス, and couldn't help frowning, "Thank you." He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to. "You'd better not smoke either, or I'll be in trouble when I go back later, with the smell of neon smoke." ”

"There are so many people in the Demon Capital, what's so strange about smoking a pack of neon country cigarettes?" said Yan Yan nonchalantly. But at the end of the day, he put away his cigarette anyway.

Kato sighed in his heart, he didn't understand why the club would send such a rough person out to connect. "Did the club send you alone this time?"

"There are a dozen or so more who don't live here. Smoke said lazily, "If you have the opportunity to go to Matsunosato to see Kabuki, you should be able to meet them." ”

Kato nodded, "I know, if nothing else, I'll go back first." When he reached the door, he stopped again, "By the way, what's the code for the next time?"

"Kirihara will contact you. Yan Yan grinned, "There is another sentence, which the president asked me to give you a little bit." ”

Kato held the doorknob with a wariness on his face, "What is it?"

"Poker-men are your enemies, not your friends, so don't get too deep into the play. ”
